PRESIDENT WILSON ON RED
CROSS SEALS.

AS an expression of his interest In
the Red Cross Seal and -Anti-tuber-
culosis Campaign, President Wilson
writes to The National Association
for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis:
May l take this occasion to ex-
press to you my deep interest I'm the
work of The National Anti-Tubercu-
losis Association and my hope that
its work is growing in efficiency and
extent from year to year? May | not
particularly express my interest in
the Red Cross Christmas Seal, whose
sale has been the means OF raising
funds for the work? 1t seems to me
that this is particularly interesting
and sensible way of enabling the
people of the country to give this
great work their support"

kNoTTY PROBLEM
FOR DRY STATES.

Some idea may be had OF the kind
of undertaking the officials Of Ore
gon and Washington will have upon
their hands after january LIST. 1916,
when the prohibition Lava go into
effect In those states. from reading
the following special telegram from
Eureka, Cal, to the Portland Oregon
ian:
The board of supervisors has ne
ceived an application from the Aston
Wine Company, OF Hornbrook, seek
ing license TO conduct a wholesale
liquor house.
"Hornbrook being near the state
line, the wholesale liquor houses are
counting on q large business when
Washington and Oregon become dry.
THE names of 100000 tipplers in
Oregon are catalogued and indexed
by another mail order liquor house
that is preparing to open in Horn
brook"
The last paragraph of the Orc
gonian's special dispatch would IN
itself seem to be sufficient cause
for alarm to the people of a state
thus represented to be so generally
addicted to "booze-fighting," wore
It not for the well-mown fact that
Oregon had enough sober citizens
within her bonders when the test
came to Danish John Barlegcorn from
that commonwealth. 1t is not posi-
Bile that a majority of those $50. 900
Oregon tipplers" voted for the
drought that has come upon the
state.

Any over-confident American who
feels secure In the belief that this
country needs no preparation other
than peace-doves and patriotism to
protect our coast cities against for
eign assault and possibly invasion.
should read the lessons drawn from
the European war by Frederick Pal
mer. the noted war correspondent,
whose intimate knowledge of the
science OF war gives unusual weight
to his startling description of this
country's unpreparedness to cope
with navies like those of either Great
Britain or Germany.

SCHOLTz
BOOSTING IDAHO
HAS SECURED VALUABLE PUB
L|C|TY THROUGH EAST
ERN PAPERS.

That Director Scholtz of the state
farm markets bureau is not missing
any opportunities to boost for Idaho
is evidenced from the articles appear
ing in the Chicago, Minneapolis and
st. Paul papers: Director Soholtz is
spending most of this week at ST.
Paul. Minnesota, attending the grain
conference of the American SO dety
of Equity. at which almost 10000
delegates are in attendance
Minnesota is the former home OF
Mr.. Scholtz and the Twin City news
papers have therefore been very lib
eral in devoting space to Idaho's new
farm markets department. All Of the
articles give considerable prominence
to the fact that Mr.. Scholtz has just
been elected president of the Nation
al Association of Marketing Officials
and that he is a former Minnesotan
Mr.. Scholtz, however, in his inter
views given to the newspapers is
featuring the fact that Idaho is ex-
ceptionally favored as a seed growing
and dairying section. One inst lance OF
his efforts to advance the states
fame is an article appearing in St
Paups leading daily, the st. Paul
Dispatch, bearing the heading Idaho
| is Seeking Minnesota Dairyme1
Head Of New Markets Department ID
Here to Paint Lures Of Idaho" In
the article Mr.. Scholtz tells OF the
natural advantages of the STATE
over Minnesota and Wisconsin as 6
dairy state.
Another STORY appearing In the
Minneapolis Journal, probably the
leading daily in the state, devotet
considerable space to the formation
of the national association, Idaho's
efforts to cooperate with her set
tiers and Mr.. Scholtz's pionesr worl
in getting the movement for s'att
aid under way throughout the coun
try. The article in the Minneapolis
Journal reads in part as follows:
The state of Idaho is helping ldaht
farmers distribute their farm prod
ucts.
w. G. Scholtz, who is director o.
the Idaho department of farm mar
kets, is in the twin cities on his way
back from a national meeting in Chi
cago of the marketing officers OF l.
states of the union.

LACK OF UNITY IN
PRESIDENTS PARTY
MARKS BEGINNING OF LEGIS-
LATION FOR DEFENSE OF
THE NATION.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 12.-.
There is every indication that the
record Of hastily considered, fll-di-
gested and faulty legislation made
by the Democratic party in former
Congresses is to be repeated this
session.
That this is a conclusion from
which there is no escape is the
Judgment of Frank P Woods Of Iowa,
Chairman of the National Republican
Congressional Committee. In state
ment- issued today Representative
Woods outlined the reasons for his
opinion.
mo legislative body can produce
accurate legislation without obsery-
ing two important principles" said
Mr.. Woods. First, there must be
intelligent unity of purpose as to the
laws to be written Second, the meth
DDS by which the proposed leg sla1ion
s to be enacted must permit the cor
lection of defects when they are dis
covered.
Even at this early stage OF the
present session it is apparent that
both these requirements are lacking.
with the party strength reduced
to bare majority in the House,
there lis a revolt against the most
important legislation proposed, name
Ily. provision for more adequate ma
tional defenses.
"The amounts asked for enlarging
the army and navy involve annual in
creased expenditures estimated at
quarter OF billion dollars for sew
eral years. The responsibility OF
providing revenue to meet this ex-
penditure falls largely upon the Ways
and Means Committee.
1.-THE Chairman of that Committee
Representative Claude Kitchen, mas
stated that he is opposed to the na-
tioaal defense program. His defec'
| ton is more serious when Is re-
membered that his party has been
un,sble to keep our national finances
upon a sound basis when only orol-
nary demands were to be met. MI
Kitchen himself has already pointed
out that there is a serious deficit IN
the Treasury to be provided for.
''In the Senate the party strength
was divided even before the session
began. Bitter faotional strife marked
the organization of the Senate on
the issues OF both the election OF
President pro tempore and the pro-
posed oloture rule, and 1t is obvious
that the breach will not be healed.
at is evident, therefore, that there
will be no unity of purpose among
the Democrats, and that their method
OF procedure in framing laws viii
prevent the correction Of errors even
when discovered before enactment
The same methods employed In pre-
oeding Congresses, which were so
productive of mess OF faulty legls-
lation will be continued during this
session

CANNOT FOOL FARMERS.

There isn't a more ieyel-heAded,
conservative or Intelligent class Of
people than the American. farmers
They don't stampede They are not
panicky They read extensively and
think carefully. This is because they
are engaged In pursuit that brings
them close to nature, keeps their
minds free from prejudice and gives
them abundant opportunity to think
for themselves. They know that soon
after the beginning of the European
war there was an enormous increase
h the demand for all kinds OF grain,
cattle and other provisions, as well az
Tor horses They know that this de-
mand sent prices soaring. AS result
OF this increased demand they were
assured OF larger market In 1915
and they put In larger areas Of crops.
Statistics gathered by the department.
Of agriculture show that this increase
OF acreage was about per cent. The
first year OF the war resulted In an
increase OF 80 per cent in the value
.of farm products. This has brought
prosperity to the American farmer.
He knows the facts and causes The
efforts q the Democratic press to
create the impression that this agri-
cultural prosperity Is normal con-

two-year-old baby boy was playing
near a sand bank with his four-year-
old sister. The little boy rolled down
the sand bank and his sister ran up
towards the house. Soon the little lad
came running In the house crying. His
mother asked him what was the mat

down his stocking and looked ut his
knee. She saw two little teeth marks
and called his father. Right away he

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-More
than $3.50. 900 is on deposit In school
savings banks, according TO q survey
made by the bureau OF education
The figures have been issued In
connection with q complete history
Of school banking In this country.
Francois Laurent. a Belgian. II
credited with being the father Of the
school savings idea. which he inaug-
urated In 1884. Serene #. Merrill
superintendent Of schools at Beloit,
Wis, introduced the system In Beloit
In 1915. Capt. r. III. Pratt. superin-
tendent of the Carlisle (Pa.) Indian
school, established a savings system
for the Indians under his supervision
In 1879, and for years the students
kept an average Of $4,000 In the
school bank.
Then In 1886 came another Belgian
John Henry Thirty, who put the
school savings system on q perma'
nent footing In the United States
Mr.. Thirty made lot OF money In the
book business In this country. and
about 1878 he retired to devote him
self to popularizing school savings.
Up to the time Of his death he was
one OF the vital factors In this work.
Mr.. Thirty was close friend Of M.
de Malarce, who was In charge OF the
school savings system Of France, and
he corresponded frequently with
Prof. Laurent From this Interchange
of ideas Mr.. Thirty evolved system

TROOP NO. A
ny Il. GEORGE KITsON.


About four and q half years ago six
over scout work, met In a room OF st.
Johns parish building. and formed
the fourth troop Of Boy Scouts In the
city of Detroit.
Under the faithful and careful
guidance of A. ID. Jameson. st. Johns
troop was organized and put on q
firm foundation that has always stood
the test Organizing, in the instance
of St. Johns troop, didn't mean mere
ly the gathering together OF boys who
were interested In scout work and
the carrying out OF regular scout
program. It meant the developing Of
leaders-leaders to lead other boys
and make living examples OF the
scout law.
ST. Johns troop Is proud to say that
1t has, and has had, many such lead
ers, who have led st. Johns to sue
cess on several occasions. and they
should be highly commended for their
noble work. Although we are proud
to claim the honor of holding the
Scout Proficiency Banner" for the
year OF 1928, and the organizing
OF several other troops. including a
troop of Highland Park and or Pom
tiac, and also Troop Is Of Detroit, we
are still prouder Of our scoutmaster
IL would be useless for us to attempt
to express the amount OF gratitude we
owe Mr.. Jameson. and furthermore.
all the older scouts Of Detroit know
Mr.. Jameson and know him to be a
true friend and big brother to every
scout. Our advice to those who do
not know Mr.. Jameson Is, get &C.
quainted.v as II will be. worth while.
Although st. Johns troop stands for
clean sports and takes an active In
terest in hiking" signaling. first aid
and scouting, the members wish to go
on in a quiet way doing their daily
good turns and serving God as well
as our country.
The members Of Troop wish to
extend their sincere thanks to the
Detroit Times for the kindness ex-
tended us through the use of its col
umns. and heartily wish The Times
the best OF success for its scout de-
partment.
Although this IL the first article TO
appear from our troop, we hope 20 do
our share In the future.

Then he went to the bankers Of New

portunity they had Of making friends
with thousands of future depositors.
The bankers got behind Thirty and
the following year the school savings
bank was installed In eight other
schools In Long Island City, in one at
Islip. In four at Elmira and IN six at

almost intact In most of the school
savings banks In the United States
today. In 1887 Thirty started other
school banks ut Hornellsville, James
town and Buffalo. and In the New
York City Y. NJ. c. A. In 1889 he
started another bank In school at
Asheville, N. c.
In 1891 educators and bankers met
and passed resolutions of approval OF
the system. and It was the chief sub
ject of discussion at the 1891 meeting
OF the national council of women.
BY 1892 Thirty was able TO report de-
