five-year building program for the

President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have discussed informally
the needs of the navy, and are agreed
that in order to be adequately pre-
pared for defense, the present
strength of the fleet must almost be
doubled in the next FIVE years, with
the addition Of many OF the latest
type of fast and powerful fighting
craft. ~ -
Details Are Incomplete. ,.
Details as to numbers have not vet
been finally worked out, but the idea
OF fixing ratio for continuous
program over period Of five years
is the basic principle upon which the
general board of the navy and Sec
retary Daniels now are planning their
recommendation. Anothe er confer
ence between the president and sec
retary will be held Friday at which
the total number probably will be
fixed.. -: .~.. ~
Hundred Submarines. -:,.,
The fve-year naval program, when
completed, would add in addition to
dreadnaughts and battle cruisers.
nearly hundred submarines, about
20 destroyers and several coast crui-
sers and proportionate number of
fuel and hospital ships:
An important part of the program,
too, will be a proposal for large in
crease in personnel. Appropriation
for at least 5000 additional men will
be asked for the first year to make up
present deficiencies, and an adequate
number will be sought to man the
new ships built in the five-year
period. -
Administration Measure.
The total cost Of the proposed pro-
gram for the first year, ac-
cording to present plans, is estimated
lat nearly $248,O0O,0 or about
$1O0,0O0,0OO increase over last year.
Just what construction should be pro-
vided for the first year, has not been
determined. As to the approximate
number Of ships the fleet should
have at the end of five years, how
ever, officers of the general board and
Secretary Daniels are understood to
be in thorough accord. -.
1t is understood that after study
ing the naval program carefully,
President Wilson intends to discuss it
in his annual message and make it
an administration measure.

The situation is admitted to be a.

but for the whole, allied cause. It
is asserted that the Serbians are in
flicting very heavy losses, both on the
Austro-Germans and Bulgarians, but
with their army of about a quarter
of million men, they are believed
to have little chance of making any
prolonged resistance against three or
four thousand Austro-Germans and
probably 10000 Bulgars. They are

THE BOY WITH A PATCH

The editor of a Missouri weekly tells of an incident which prompted him to write a touching bit of truth as fol- lows:
 We met little fellow the other day about eight years old who wanted to sell us a magazine, and as he turned away we noticed a nice, neat patch on his clothes right where patches usually are on boys clothes. We called him back and bought the paper because of the patch.
 "Whenever we see a patch like that we let our imagina- tion go, and can picture a woman-a neat woman, with a rather tired, but happy look, and she is sitting by a work table putting a patch on her little boys pants. She seems to take great pride in the work and as she comes to the end of the round seam, she goes slower, as if she wished to prolong the excuse to handle the garment. Then after biting off the thread she holds them at arms length with q look which only that kind of a woman ever has, and signing lays them over chair at the little bed, and bending over the little sleeper she shakes her head and says: Do you know you are lot of trouble, you little scamp. God bless my little boy-God bless him" If there is an answer to prayer, and there surely is, God must bless the little boy with the patch-and doubly bless the little mother who put it on.'

Hogs Die of Cholera
 Should Be Burned

It is reported that in some sections of the state hog chol- era is being spread by bug yards.
 Prof. McArthur of the vet erinary department of the State University says buzzards can carry hog cholera upon their feet very easily. When dead hogs are not disposed of at once they soon attract bug zards and in devouring the dead animal, the feet of the birds become covered with cholera infection. From this spot the buzards fly to other hog pens in the neighborhood, sometimes as much as 10 to Is miles away. Wherever the bird alights, the germs of cholera are left, and in this way ehol- vera often starts in a neighbor- hood where hitherto it has been unknown. All of this how ever, does not mean that the buzzard should be killed, as this bird is both useful and .necessay. What it does mean, however, is thls-that farmers. losing animals from hog chol- era or other infectious disease, should dispose of these animals by burning promptly. Burying will do if it is not possible to burn them, but burning is the much better plan. Bysaturating the body with coal oil and starting a hot fire directly un- der it, a body can be burned with much less trouble than it can be buried.

Even if there has been a seem ingly over-abundant yield in some sections of Arkansas, the farmer with the silo is confi- dent of market. And many farmers who, before this year have not thought of investing in silos are now asking them selves, What kind shall 1 build?' The value of silage as feed cannot be overestima- ted during any year; but in a year like this the silo is the best market for corn. R. H. Mason, field agent for the United States department of agricul- ture, now working in Arkansas will furnish plans of several types of silos for every farmer in Arkansas free. To those farmers living in tick free ter ritory, Mir. Mason will not on- ly furnish plans but will give a limited amount of assistance. Write him at the Old State House, Little Rock, Ark.
