WONDERFUL PICTURES NOW ON
DISPLAY.

We have just received the handsom-
est example of printing art that has
ever been seen at this office. A col
lection of pictures that will be adj
mired by every one, appealing to ev-
cry lover of the beautiful and artis-
tic. A bound volume of views chosen
for their artistic value, grouped geo
graphically and harmoniously print
ed in four colors on special made In
dia tint paper, size by IL inches,
it is by far the most complete record
of the beauties of the Nations play
ground ever issued.
There are delicate effects of rare
beauty, much of it comparable to
choice watercolor, its completeness
making it book of exceptional edu-
cational value. AS a gift book it has
wonderful charm, carrying an inn
preston of the grandeurs of the
west which no words can adequately
portray. 1t is a book for the library
of which one may be proud. Com
mencing at the extreme southern
border of the Pacific coast country
amongst the picturesque wilds of the
Colorado, you journey northward
through reclaimed deserts along the
trail of the pioneer, viewing enroute
the Mission relics of earlier civiIza-
ton. On into the orange country of
southern California, to the sunny
shores of the Pacific. From here, an
abrupt change lands you in the heart
of the high Sierras amongst the giant
redwoods. Travelling rugged noun
tain trails and roads, along frantic
rivers, by roaring waterfalls, Gimp
sing here and there the highest snow
clad peaks, up over ridges, down into
deep canyons, lodging frequently
chains of glistening mountain lakes,
and then just as you commence to
feel that it is getting cold in this
snowy region, presto, back into sun
shine, fruit and flowers and the glor-
les of the broad valleys sloping gent
ly away from the sea. So realistic
so intense is the interest as you go
from page to page covering thous-
ands of miles of Natures splendid
work, surpassed nowhere in the
world, that the last page finds you
fairly worn out by the journey.

WINnMnLs oF HOLLAND

The Meridian High School chorus
under the direction of Miss Loder as
conductor and Miss Stephens as
dramatic instructor, will present
"Windmills of Holland" Friday ev-
ening, March 18th, at the Meridian
High school auditorium.
The operetta, with it's quaint cos
tunes, wooden shoes, its bikes and
windmills, promises to be very pic
turesque, and is certainly not lacking
in humor.
The story is of an American drum
mer, Bob Yankee, who wishes to
introduce all the latest inventions in
steam and electricity into an old
fashioned Dutch mill, owned by an
old-fashioned Hollander, Herr Hert-
ogenbosch. He also incidentally falls
in love with the miller's daughter,
Wilhelmina, who forgets Hans for
awhile, but in the end proves herself
to be a true daughter of Holland.
Did Bob Yankee succeed in his many
inventions or did the old mill stand?
Come and see!
The cast is as follows:
Herr Hertogenbosch, Don Mcfarland
Frau Hertogenbosch, Emma Stalker
Their daughters: Wilhelmina, HERNIA
HUNT; Hilda, Carolyn Pfafie.
Katrina, Ina Waggoner.
Bob Garkie, Bill Deck.
Hans, Quincy Adams.
Franz, Wilfred Allison.
Gertrude McSparran will preside at
the piano and an orchestra will &C
company the entire operetta.

AS Originally Framed

AS passed, the bill is in substantial
ly the same form as framed by the
naval committee. Only few amend
ments were adopted during a week Of
debate, and a final effort by Repuhli-
can leaders to have the measure re-
committed with instructions to add two
battleships. two scout cruisers and 10
destroyers was beaten 1879 to 49,.
The fight for an increase in the build
ing program, at least by the addition
Of two battleshps will be renewed in
the Senate when the measure is taken
UP there late this month, and admin
istratton leaders believe it will be sue
cessfuI.
Only four representatives voted
against passage of the bill to 35S fav-
oring t-Reps. Browning, New Jersey.
and Graham. Pennsylvania. Republic
ans; Randall, California. Prohibitionist.
ty-fve Democrats voted with the Re
publicans to recommit the bill and in
crease the building program
With passage of the bill the House
completed the major portion of it's share
in the preparedness program. OF the
three bills carrying the important pro
visions Of the program---the army, naval
and Notifications measures-only the
last named remain. They will be taken
Up in the House after the conventions
while the Senate is debating the naval
bill.
Provisions Added
Other provisions added during debate
carry $11 ,000,00 for a government armor
plate plant, $1,000. 900 for the enlargement
of navy yards. particularly at Boston,
Philadelphia, New York and Puget sound
where battleships will be built, s2700. 900
for increasing the navy's personnel, and
s1.5oO,Ooo for aeroplanes. The armor plant
provision already has passed the Senate
as separate bill.
Reorganization plans recommended by
Secretary Daniels, including incr. asing
the duties and authorities of the chief of
operations are authorized in the measure
and provisions made for building up a
strong reserve for the enlisted personnel
The two dreadnoughts recommended by
Secretary Daniels were stricken out O.,
the naval bill by the House committee
and an additional battle cruiser was sub
stituted as a compromise to meet the de-
mands of the so-called little navy men.
Although the House voted down most Of
the recommendations Of a majority re-
port submitted by Republican members Of
the committee, increases totalling more
than s40.0Oo,0o0 were added to the commit
tee measure OF this s22,ooo,ooo covers An
amendment adopted increasing the num-
Der Of submarines authorized to 50. The
committee has recommended only 20.

Statistics of V e ssels
Lost in North Sea on
Wednesday

From the advices thus far received
it would appear that the greatest naval
battle of history has taken place. Never
before have two naval forces of such
magnitude as the British and German
high sea fleets engaged in combat But
apparently the battle was not fought
the seas for the loss, serious, as they
are reported to have been will not i'm
pair the strength of either fleet to vi
tai extent.
Scene Of Battle
The scene of battle was in the east
ern waters of the North Sea. 1t is
the excursions into the North Sea which
it has taken from time to time during
the war and met whether or not by
design. with the British fleet.
Skagerak is an arm of the North Sea
between Norway and Denmark. The
point referred to in the official German
statement as Horn Riff probably is
the reef off the horn. on the southwest
ern extremity of Denmark. This would
indicate the battle was fought off the
coast of Denmark From the reef to
Helgoland, the main German naval base
in the North Sea is about 100 miles
The British Ships Lost
The British dreadnought Warspite,
reported destroyed, in the North Sea
engagement was a sister ship Of the
Queen Elizabeth and both these vessels
played a prominent part in the attempt
of the British Mediterranean fleet to
force the Dardanelles. The Warspite
was $50 feet long and displaced o7,5oo

indicated that this plan was being

nothing has come to indicate the tenn
