That it would be suicidal for any
 nation to begin disarmament and
 that the United States should be the last nation to follow this course if at all. is the view of Samuel Com pcrs president of the American
 Federation of Labor. and Irwin $. Cobb, recently published in an edi-
 der the head of Safety First in the Nation, the article says:
 For all the "300O miles of cool. blue ocean" that lie between us and the scene of the gigantic war. that
 war is bringing home to the Ameri- can people as it has not been brought home in recent years the 1 fact that no nation. no matter how 1 emplary it's conduct. is quite safe 1 from assault by another nation. For years this country has been
 lulled by the sweet songs of the pa cifists into a feeling of unjustifiable security. Those who have pleaded for q wider diffusion of military | knowledge among the people and who have advocated some adequate
 methods of training the young man | hood of the nation to arms have been derided and flouted and dubbed 'militarists. Even that eminently 1 wholesome and regenerating civic in 1 f1uence. the Boy Scout movement. in some quarters has been condemned because, forsooth. it taught disci pline and smacked of soldering But a change has come. From
 unexpected quarters one hears voices l raised in demand for a training of 1 the citizenry to bear arms in the event of war. A recent example is a statement which Samuel Gompcrs, president of the American Fedora , tion of Labor and perhaps labor's
 most eminent champion in the United States has given the press Hear him:
 Under present conditions,f he writes. 'it would he suicidal for any one nation to begin disarmament The power of self-defense. even if not exercised is the greatest force
 for the maintenance of justice and national rights Antimiitarism does not mean to give up the right Of national defense"
 And further: Preparedness for national defense must keep pace with the increased growth and increasing interests of nations. Some govern mental policy must be adopted that will provide the necessary means Tor this defense National defense can he provided for without creating miIitarism if the organizations Tor defense are democratic and are un- der democratic control. con troI over national defenses IS flnaily vested in the citizenship--a provision which is in harmony with demo cratic ideals. Abuses ol military power can be remedled by the people themselves when the mlll- tarv is democratically organized and controlled citizen soldiery.
 Which is a sound answer to many arguments that have been advanced against the very sort ot military training that those who have been

On Wednesday of last week, Master
Ben. Palmer Oakford entertained his
young friends at the house of his
Aunt Palmer's with birthday party.
This was the first birthday Ben ever
celebrated, because it was the first an
niversary of his birth. Invitations
were issued to all the babies in town
to come and bring their mamas, and
over two dozen accepted the invitation
and went Of course they had high

LIVES IN STACK FIVE WEEKS
Imprisoned Heifer Owned. by Ben
Vessel, Of Melrose, Dies Soon
After Being Released

After having been imprisoned in the
middle of straw stack for five weeks
a heifer owned by Ben Vessel, who
lives a mile east of town, was found
still alive on Friday; she died few
minutes after being realeased, says
the Melrose Beacon. Burrowing her
way into the stack the animal was
caught and imprisoned when the
straw caved in. For five weeks she
lived in the straw. Mr.. Vessel
thought she strayed and had given
her up for lost; she was found by
chance when one of the men on the
farm struck her with a fork. She
kicked quite vigorously but when a
hasty excavation brought her out of
the straw she fell over dead.
