 Lack of Preparedness

A4<NSh NA BSeAA NN-AAN'E'
 As a means of displaying our Iack of preparedness, the campaign has been useful. The novelty and glamor of the Mexican expedition, after big publicity campaign brouUht only 500 recruits in a week, Generally this is taken asan indica- ton that if America io ever to have a large army we must resort t con5cription.
 The British general who said that if the Boer war continued long enough he would give England an army by carrying out hiO plan of training and seasoning new recruits, probably had some of the problems to solve which now confront the American people. It now looks as if tue hunt for Villa would take long enough to teach many whole some lessons. Incidentally the ad- yocates of ureparedness will be able to point to many things to heln their sile of the argument. - Seattle P. l.

It consists of a sundia1 and was carved by Newton when he was a boy on a stone in the house in which he was born, his only tee1 being pen knife. There it remained for many years until removed to ColsterwOFth church: Unfortunately the organ has been built directly in front of this fn- teEesting relic, so that unless one

 If I were giving counsel to the hus- band and wife who would make, each other happy and hold each others love I would suggest that neither caM the attention of tie other to, the disagree able qualities of the family of either.
 stMy husband loves my people as if they were his own,'' a wife told me. t'It makes me so Nhappyr'
 : I doubt if he did love her people very dearly. but he overlooked those charac- teristics which a more selfish man would have resented. If it was what a schoolboy would call a 'b1ufr" it was a gloriousIy unself1sh one.
 Most of us can stand the tempers and idiosyncrasies of our own when we alone have to bear them. It is when we see them through the eyes of third person that they become uncomfortable. That is perhaps one reason why so few roofs are large enough to. cover two families.
 If each ''in-law" exercised toward the members of the household into which he or she married the same par doning love that is exercised toward one's own the aspersions cast upon the mother-in-laW would die a natural death because they would have neth- ing on which to feed.vVirginia Ter hume Van de Water in Mothers Maga- zine

Bridgeport soon will have & com mercia1 wireless sending station under direction of United States Governm ent Naval Militia reserves. The first Ii- censes received by wireless operators in this city have been received All those entitled to send messages in this city are now members of the Third division, Naval militia, who have sue cessful1y passed the government tests and have received their diplomas.
 Those who have successfully passed the requirements are: K

 Heretofore many receiving instru- ments and operators have been in this city, notably in the schools and in To- cal jewe1ry stores where government time is received from Washington daily. To send messages, however, re quires government permit and it is authentica11y reported that no such permission heretofore has been grant ed.
 The big sending station at the local armory has been greatly enlarged and memb bers?of the naval division are in daily communication with ships far at sea- The present licenses grant the holders permission to send commer- cial messages and it is planned to es- tab1ish a sending station for wireless messages direct from this city.
