On account of the Grand Army reunion
. and other business the President was not
able last week to hold conference witt
the military and naval chairmen on the
legislative program for the approaching
session. Chairman Padgett, of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs. came te
Washington last Monday to attend the
conference and will stay over until the
first week in October in order to see the
President. 1t is expected that during
the same week the other chairnen will
be called to the White House to confer
with the President on the army and navy
legislative program.
Chairman PadGett continues to main
tain silence upon his attitude toward the
building program at the approaching ses-
sion. He has insisted all along that he
would not discuss the policy of the COM
mittee until he has seen the President,
and he may not have anything to say
until Congress convenes 1t has always
been his policy to avoid discussing lesis-
lation until he has had an expression
from the committee.
But those who have observed Chairman
Padgett's course in Congress know that
he is a consistent advocate of a we'll
balanced navy. Back in Roosevelt's ad-
ninistration he opposed a four-barle-
ship program because he thought utat
the navy was becoming top-heary. He in
sisted that the necessary number of de-
stroyers and other auxiliarics should be
authorized and that the program should
not consist entirely of battleships.
For BattIeship Program.
In the approaching session Chairman
Padgett will not be swept off his feet
by the submarine agitati There Is no
doubt that he will recognize the fact
that submarines during the European
war have won place in the naval estab-
lishmcnt. AT the same time the chair
man is too close student of naval af-
fairs TO not see that it is not with sub
marines that the allies have kept con-
troll of the sea. 1t is not necessary for
him to discuss his attitude toward the
present submarine fever to assure those
who arc acquainted with his policy that
he will be for a battleship program. Some
of Mr.. Padgett's friends are inclined to
heIieve that he will advocate the con-
struction of at least two battleships and
may support a program for two battle
ships and two battle cruisers.
On the question of personnel legisla-
lion Chairman Padgett did not hesitate
to express himself as favoring some gen.
craI bill that will completely reorganize
the navy. He called on Secretary DAN
icIs and informed the head of the Navy
Department that the members of the
House Committee were expecting some
He said he wanted the best thought of

The Doctor made a plea for the
investigation of the claims of Admiral
Peary and his own claim and declar-
ed that he was seeking only that
truth might be established and JUS
tice done. Petitions were passed
through the audience asking that
Congress pass a bill authorizing the
investigation of the Cook-Peary coun-
ter claims, and those who desired to
do so signed them. After the lee
ture, DR.. Cook was rendered a three
course banquet at Salyers restaurant
by the Fulton County Medical Society
after his lecture at the Princess We'd
nesday night. The DR.. gave a very
entertaining and instructive after
dinner talk on Medical Practice and
customs in the Polar region.
MI. Caddell deserves the apprecia-
ton of the citizenship for his enter
prise in securing DR.. Cook for Wau-
seon and we are sorry to learn that
the reward for his enterprise is a
financial loss of approximately forty
dollars.

EXTENSION

Word has just been received from
Columbus where the Legislature is
in session that the bill introduced a
few days ago by Mallow of Ross in
the Senate and Smith of Morgan in
the House to abolish the Ohio Agri-
cultural Commission and re-create
the old unpaid Board of Agriculture
will in no way affect the Extension
Schools conducted by the Ohio State
University. These schools which are
now in their sixth year have become
increasingly popular with Ohio farm
ers so that a great deal of interest
has been aroused by the proposal to
decentralize the Agricultural Commits
sion for fear that such sweeping
changes might in some way affect
the Extension Schools. According to
Clark S. Wheeler, Supervisor of Elk
tension Schools, a number of petit
lions have already been filed for Elk
tension Schools to be held next winter,
This is no doubt due to the fact that
the law limits these schools to one
in each county and many communi-
ties fearing that another town in their
county will also want a school are
anxious to have their petitions filed
first.

RURAL CREDIT.

The farm mortgages in force in the
United States, according to the
United States Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Forestry, aggregates
more than two billion dollars That is
rather conclusive proof that farmers
desire credit. There are also millions
of dollars in the United States seek
ing long time investments. at lowest
rates of interest, if the security is
safe and stable. Rural credit legisla-
ton to be desirable must be such as
to bring together the farmers who
want to borrow money and the per-
ons having money to loan for long
periods at low rates. Farmers who
are interested in rural credit legisla-
ton might be of assistance in promot-
ing such legislation by learning from
their congressman and senators at
Washington, how they feel about such
legislation.

ieeland's Own Flag.

A m~uch-valued concession to Ice
landic national pride has been made
by King Christian of" Denmark. For
some years the islanders have been
agitating to be allowed the use Of
their own fag-which is blue and
white, as distinguished from the Dam
ish colors, red and white, and they
have at last gained their wish. Mr..
Hannes Hafstein, the minister for Ice
land, visits Denmark several times
yearly, in order to get the signature
of the king to the laws passed by the
althing. On the last occasion he car
ried with him a petition for the use Of
the flag Of Iceland, and this was
granted by royal resolution. which
permits the blue and white flag to be
hoisted together with the Danish flag
on public buildings on official occa-
sions. It also allows the use Of the
special flag On the territorial waters
