THE 100000 MARK

Postmaster Smith this week in re-
minding the editor that the Glenwool
postoffice is making a record for bus''
ness in more ways than one called at
tention to the money order business
which has been transacted by this
office. The government in furnishing
money order blanks supplies each Office
with continuous numbers so that
check can be kept on the number OF
orders issued by any office. Last Tues-
day the Glenwood office passed the
lOO, 900 mark, w. S. Smith Of Sunlight
having purchased money order NO.
100 900 on that date. This is the num-
ber of money orders issued since this
office was started, or rather the number
that were used and out of that number
there would naturally be few spoiled
blanks. Anyway since Bill Smith made
his purchase last Monday, the ordeis
issued from this office have come from
the second 100000 batch.

The Vassar Miscellany Weekly, the
student publication of Vassar college,
in its issne of December 10 contained
the following article by Miss Katrina
NJ Brewster of Glenwood Springs.
Miss Brewster is a senior in Vassar this
year and is one of the business mana
gers of the Vassar Miscellany. She is
the only Vassar student who was hor-
ored by Mr.. Ford with an invitation
to join his peace party, and her views
of the movement, written just prior to
sailing, will no doubt prove very inter
esting to our readers:
The Misunderstanding, which seems
to have arisen in the minds of some,
regarding the Ford Peace Mission, and
the variety Of opinion on the question
of Peace itself, force me to express my
views on the subject before leaving the
country as member Of the party.
am seizing the opportunity to go as
Mr.. Ford's guest on the Peace Mission
for two reasons:-first, because l stanl
for Peace most emphatically; and Sec
ond, because I think the experience will
be of great value to me in after years.
The first point is more closely connect
ed with the justification of the plan.
Peace, id my opinion, must be

feel that it can be established only
through peaceful means, not by phys
ical force. Therefore, any movement
which fosters that spirit should be en-
couraged, even though we may not
agree with all the details connected
with the movement. Although do not
believe that we will "get all the men
out of the trenches before Christmas"
(nor do I think that many people going
on this expedition hold this view), aud
although the plan may sound bit i'm
practical, still it can do no harm, and
definitely helps to rouse public opinion
1t shows the belligereA nations that
there are still some people who cling to
that ideal Of Peace amidst the hoarse
and bitter cries Of the majority fol
preparedness and war.

ENGLISH PHEASANTS.

Reports of the state game warden
show that the English ring-necked
pheasants distributed among the 100
counties of Kentucky have more than
doubled within the year. Only one
brood is reported in Fayette county,
but in some of the counties the in
crease goes as high as hundred little
ring necks. Twenty-Five hundred were
imported by the commission and the
count shows 8, l4l now, with large
number more probably in the cover.
These beautiful birds are protected
by game laws and closed season will
be maintained until the state is well
populated with them.
