Our
Unpreparedness.

The United States is not pre-
pared to wage war upon even a
second rate power according to
military and naval experts. Our
army is too small to be effective
even as the nucleus for Il fighting
force, while our navy as far as it
goes is first class, still it is not
large enough for the immense
coast line to be protected.
Our coast defenses are good
but not good enough to repel in
vasion.
Our submarines are a neglig-
able quantity, A wise preparat-
ION is necessary, not to provoke
war or to encourage militancy,
but rather to prevent war, which
is always a menance to nation
unprepared for it.
We are bitterly opposed to
militancy and its fruits AS sho wn
in Prussia, still we believe in our
great country having a sufficient
defense against foreign invasion
or aggression.
In the past. we have depended
upon our volunteers and citizen
soldiery, but the Belgians have
shown that anna teur soldiers can
not repel professional soldiers.
Hereafter, our main dcfenses
must be a large navy, and a
standing army.

THE BATTLE OF
THE TIRES

agricultural and Commercial Press service1
IL Is interesting to watch the forces
OF civilization battling for supremacy.
The struggle now going on between the
rubber and the iron tire promises to
be the liveliest contest of the Twen-
tieth Century.
The struggle is a silent one and
there are no war correspondents to
write vivid descriptions of the con-
hict but the results are more far
reaching to present and future gen.
erations than the war of Europe
The rubber tire has been maneuver-
Ing for point Of attack for several
years and has captured a few unim-
portant positions in traffic, but 1t has
now pitched decisive battle with
It's iron competitor by hurling mil
lion "Jitneys" at the street railways
and the battle is raging from ocean
to ocean. Upon the result OF the
struggle depends the future of the
rubber tire. II it is compelled to re.
treat its doom Is sealed, but IL 1t wins
the battle 1t will revolutionize the
transportation methods of this nation
IL the rubber tire conquers the
street traffic its next struggle is with
the railroads of the country, and then
the greatest battle between economic
forces ever fought out on the face
or this earth is on, for iron Is the un.
disputed master in transportation, and
is fortified behind billions Of dollars,
and millions of men.
Stephenson applied the steel tire
to an iron rail in 1914, but it was 1869
before the golden spike was driven
at Promontory Point, which bound
the country together with bands of
steel. 1t took the iron tire fifty-five
years to creep from ocean to ocean,
but the rubber tire while warm from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius sped across the continent like
an arrow shot from the bow of Ulys-
ses. The roadbed was already pre-
pared and therein lies the power OF
the rubber tire over that OF iron, for
government builds and maintains the
public highway.
But iron ID q stubborn metal and
1t has mastered every wheel that
turns; has fought battles with every
element above and beneath the earth
and has never tasted the wormwood
OF defeat, and when rubber hurls its
full force against this monarch OF
the Mineral Kingdom, 1t may rebound
to the factory stunned beyond recov-
cry.
The rubber tire first made it's ap-
pearance on the bicycle, but 1t proved
a frivolous servant and was dismissed
for 1ncompetency. 1t has always been
too much inclined to revel in luxury
to be taken seriously as a utility ma
chine and its reputation is not one to
inspire confidence in heavy traffic
performance.
But to those who care to watt into
dreamland, it is enchanting to note
that there will be a marvellous differ
ence between a rubber and an iron
age. The rubber tire will scatter the
cities throughout the valleys for with
transportation at every mans door,
why city? 1t will traverse the con-
tinent with a net work of Macadam
highways as beautiful as the boule-
ward built by Napoleon. 1t will par
alyze the law making bodies OF this
nation for how could the legislatures
run without the railroads to operate

use produce great deal Of smudge
and SCOT. This was regarded as an
advantage at first. because smoke
1overcomes frost, but the black SCOT
settles upon the leaves Of the trees
and RENDERS the fruit less attractive
A new invention has just been pat

has rectangular heating chamber OF

Fashioned COOK st5ve. The burner pro
itects the flame from the wind, SO that
lit cannot be blown out, and pipe is
ATTACHED, which carries the smoke out

fuel. Another invention to supple

to be located few feet away. and

fuel oil can be run in the quantity de-
