Free Literature on Subject,

The Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railway has in re-
wears been instrumental in the
distribution of approximately
five thousand blooded breeding
animals in the agricultural local
tiles reached by it's lines. Such
distribution has been effected
through public sales directed by
local live stock ASSOCIATIONS, CO.
operating with the several natio-
nal breeders associations. 1t is
desired primarily, in addition to
inducing an intelligent breeder
here and there to establish pure
bred herds to supply the rapidly
growing Southern demand for re-
gistered cattle, to encourage the
general use of pure bred sires on
grade herds, thus improving and
increasing the quality and guam
ity of beef, pork and mutton pro-
duced for the general market.
Recognizing the essential value
of the silo in feeding live stock
in the South, the Industrial,
Agricultural and immigration
Division of the Traffic Depart
ment Of the road, has published
a comprehensive booklet on silos
and Silage which has been gi' 9
wide distribution along the COM
pany's lines. The publication
! is still available without cost, and
will be mailed to any address up
on application to L. P. Bellah,
General Agent, Nashville Tenn

BRITISH FAILURE.
To the Editor of the Banner:

Aoy L, oObuiuS lOTlH IcdOuT0S vi
British failure and inefficiency
displayed in the present war,
calls for some justification. One
of the most startling assertions in
defense is that the long s'reign of
terrow" by the militant suffra-
gists has inundated England
and has produced "a softening of
the brain" Of her statesmen and
made weaklings of her men.
We have read Tin the Century,
Edna Kenton's paper. ''The
Militant Woman-and Women,
in which she writes: "Votes for
women, office for women, Geo.
nomic independence for women,
war for women, bombs and fire,
hammers and stones, rioting and
hunger striking, and at last SEX
freedom and sex-war for women"
could but tremble for the re-
suits of this mad militancy in the
ranks of Saxon soldiery. ''Prus-
sian militarism" is certainly a
choice between two evils.
If "militancy is the discharging
ulcer eff the insidious disease of
femininism"-shame that, ''for
cause" it's high priestess, Mrs.
Pankhurst, who onoe declared,
cat last women have learned the
Joy of war !"-shame ! she should
be accorded honor by distinguish
ed ''platform guests" in Tonnes
see.
Miss Agnes Repplier asked
recently: "Who made the Pank-
bursts our nursery governesses
and put us in their hands for
schooling?" So we ask: sWhy
must Tennessee 60 to these ultra
! advanced women for enlighten-
ment ~ Their statements are
of no Importance only as they
reveal that there must be some
ground for. the assertion made
nowadays that "there is no diff
ference between woman suffrage,
socialism and the present fomi-
mist movement" All sane per-
sons must regret that we sent
20, 900 good American dollars to
England by Mrs. Pankhurst in
former "mildeyed" ca campaign
in the United States to equip her
for damage done to persons and
property in England.
Those who contributed to her
canse then are now getting an
ample moneys worth of British
inefficiency.
| Great asylums have many ap-
parently quiet, "mild-eyed' 60
patients, who, when aroused, are
the most hysterical and un-
comfortably insane of the species
American women need no
vulgarizing of chief ethical vir-
tues to inspire men to deeds OF
valor, as did her brave women IN
civil and revolutionary war days
Some of us, personally, resent
an English militant to attempt to
strip our women of 1.-The honor OF
a dignified past" and rob us OF
the very essence of our woman
hood with ''the part woman has
played in" England of late, which
has been one serious pathological
fact of British failure today.

FEED OUR OWN POOR.

A bill was presented to the House yesterday proposing to establish an Armenian Day, when our citizens ho are endowed with more of this worlds goods than they need can step forward and donate their sur plus to the battle. scared, war torn citizens of that trouble-ridden repub- He. Charity Is all right in way, but 1t would be positively refreshing to have some congressman introduce a bill establishing an American Day, when the worthy poor of this great republic could receive portion of the assistance that is being poured so lav- ishly upon the impoverished Euro pean. Thousands of men in our coast cities are without work and without means. Every Seattle paper carries frantic appeals for work from men with families. who would be glad to be Hottentot if it would mean full stomach and a chance to provide for their families.
 It is criminal on the part of our wealthy class to pass up the poor in their own dooryards, and donate so lavishly to the foreigner. The one great shining precept of this country should be "Americans First"

GERMANS COMPLETE RAILWAY TO SYRIA

LONDON: Germany's campaign in Egypt is meeting with unexpected ob- stacles, it is announced here, due to lack of coal to operate the railroad which they have constructed south ward drought Syria to the edge of the desert, approaching the suez Canal.
 The construction of the railroad had been largely facilitated by French rails and material for a similar line which was partly constructed, but the absence of coal prevents the ac- tual opening of the road to transpor- tation.
 This lack of coal has led the Ger mans to reopen the old Turkish mines in Syria. The capacity of these mines is limited to 500,000 tons an nually.
 A large force of Turkish laborers is developing the mines, which are now the chief reliance in getting the rail- road to Egypt in operation.

NOME MAN GETS
 QUEER XMAS PRESENT

Nome Nugget: A present of a rather unusual nature was made by MT. Nate Cdombs of Council to Joe Sheldon of the Alaska Bank on the occasion of the formers visit to the city some days ago. It is stated that the present was a live badger which was caught over in Council recently, after the beast had killed a couple of Eskimo dogs. The animal was fin- ally rounded up and captured and was secured by Coombs. As is doubt less well known the badger is some what rare in this section and aside from one or two isolated instances have never been seen in this part of the sewagG. peninsula. Sheldon says he would try to tame his pet, but is afraid the task would be a useless one, considering the savage nature of the animals.

NEW KIND OF CONsCRIPTION
 NOT FAVORED BY ASQUITH

LONDON: A suggestion made in the House of Commons by William c. Anderson, labor member for the Attercliffe Division of Sheffield, that as a pendant to the Military Service bill another bill should be introduc- ed for the conscription of all surplus wealth and landed estates, had a very chilly reception. Premier Asquith declined to give facilities for such a measure. He reminded MT. Ander- son that considerable steps had been taken in this direction by the levying of an income tax, super tax and ex- cess profits tax. The Prime Minister added:
 "I need hardly say 1t may be nec- essary to impose further burdens of this character. Meanwhile I cannot anticipate the measures which may be imposed in the future Finance b.. by giving the suggested facilities"

BRITAIN EXPLAINS WHY
 q" COTTON IS CONTRABAND

WASHINGTON: In anticipation of the expected attack by the United States on the legality of the action of the Allied governments in placing cotton on the contraband list, the Britist Embassy here issued state ment on behalf of the Britist mili- tary authorities designed to explain the extensive use of cotton for mili- tary purposes.
 The statement points out that in the form of guncotton a quarter of Ia pound of the staple is required to produce one pound of ballistite; cor dite requires four-tenths of a pound of cotton for a pound, and the nitro cellulose powders in military use consist practically entirely of gun cotton. Other military uses of cotton mentioned are, in the making of clothing, sheetings tents, ammuni- tion bags, and mining explosives. In conclusion, 1t Is declared that, even fl substitutes for cotton were possible the fact that it can be used for mili- |tary purposes justifies its classifica- tion as contraband.

ASSAY CHARGES OFF
 HE TELLS ALASKANS

Because several mining men in
 Alaska have not been apprized of the
 removal of the differential charges formerly in force at the Seattle branch of the United States assay of flee, J. l.. McPherson, manager of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, has forwarded cop ies of letter from J. w. Phillips, as- |sayer ill charge, to the newspapers, Epostmasters and other public officers in Alaska:
 "Two orders of the director of the U. S. Mint," says the latter, dated June g, 1913, and another of Novem- Der 30, 1914, abolished the so-called |differential charge of one-eighth of per cent, equal to $1.25 per each $1,000, previously in force at the u. s. Assay Office in Seattle.
 "Charges at Seattle now are on the same basis as the present charges at the United States hints at Philadel- phia, Denver alnd San Francisco.
 "The Seattle Assay Office is from 800 to 1000 miles nearer to Alaska than any other United States govern ment purchasing agency, and Alas kans depositing gold in Seattle, can save from two to four days required to ship a thousand miles farther, and secure payment therefore,; also there will be a saving in transportation charges over gold shipped else where"
