The figures of the agricultural de-
partment, showing IN increase in the
number Of cattle and other domestic
animals comes as a surprise. Only a
short time ago the secretary of 4 New
England milk producers association
stated that the number Of mich COWS
in our six little northeastern states
was decreasing at the rate Of 10000 n
year, and stories have been coming for
years from the western section of the
country that the ranges were being cut
up into farms, that the number of beef
cattle in proportion to the number of
inhabitants was steadily decreasing.
and that steadily advancing prices of
meat were inevitable. Just what has
brought about the change so unexpect-
eddy is not stated by the experts, but
the news is encouraging, and we hope
that it will he substantiated and en-
phasized in the report year from now.

Congressman areene's Notable Speech

(Army and Navy Journal)
The feasibility of the taking over
of the National Guard by the federal
government was brought squarelv be-
fore the House on Jan. q by Repre-
sentative r. J.. Greene, Republican. of
Vermont, who made altogether one of
the best speeches of that day of ora
tory on the subject of national defense.
Speaking as a former national guards
man of u years experience, he said
that the progress in the present organ
lied militia has practically reached n
point where further advance is nearly
impossible, and that the states should
consent to turn over to the federal
| government the control of the Nation
al Guard. He believed it impracticable
Tor the government ever to summon
and compel the attendance at the colors
OF any considerable number of men who
ut one time may have served an en-
llstment in the regular army. The coun.
| try is too large, he asserted, and the
American habits of travel and soiourn
are too free to make it possible to
keep thousands of men chained to
the demands of a card-system reserve
IN Washington. BY the states giyino
up their local state soldierv TO the fed
eral government, there would at once
be Matchmaking Of the entire force
that is now divided into IS units under
different systems Of training. The
states would be giving up a constitu
tional prerogative, it is true, but thai
prerogative is today Of doubtful value
to them. In such a system of nation
lallZed militia, the men who had served
their terms would remain in the very
place where they We're recruited. Sucl
la National Guard would be territorial
tlzed and "the element of local pride il
the traditions and history of n loca
military organization is a factor il
discipline and morale superior to ri
laws and higher than all officers. - Mr.
Greene asserted that far better result
could be obtained under the supreme
lcOntrol of the national governmen
from the $6,000,000 spent annually b,
the states and the $7.5O0,000 contribut
ed by the federal government for tn
support of the present unsatisfactory,
organized militia. lie did not wish t.

by train on Sunday and on Monday
afternoon departed from Pontaik in

some time today The distance from
Pontaik to Wilmington is 600 miles.
Mr.. Chambers decided to go to the
factory for cars, inasmuch as the
factory was unable to ship, due TO a
shortage OF freight cars. This was
the only way to get the machines
here and there was nothing else to do
but 90 after them and make them pay
their own freight.
The Little Oakland Skies are the
first to come to Wilmington. In fact
very few of these machines have yet
come East. They are exceedingly
popular, the local agency having al
ready signed up buyers for six OF
them. The cars to arrive today will
be used as demonstrators. no de-

EXPERT GIVES OPINION.

George Clark is great racing
driver He is said to be able to build
a car as well as he can drive one. He
knows that friction plays havoc with
transmlssions and differentials. He
uses DiXon's Graphite Grease for his
bearings and he says he considers it
perfection and that with it he has
never had lubricating trouble. That
means the elimination of friction and
the awful gaf OF metal contact
against metal. II means speed with
out wear and big reduction in re-
pair bills.
