MANY BLANKETS NEEDED

With regard to blankets the claims on in
 dCstry have multiplied eighty -sixfold. The 1907 output of blankets numbered 6170,O0U worth something over f1, ,455, 900. The war requirements represan. over three times the number and five times the value of a normal year. A further interesting | point in regard to these blankets is that some 100000 have been supplied to the allies.
 The mills of the United Kingdom have produced 54,00o.0O0 yards of tent duck. This would suffice for marque three and a half miles square. The tent pins | have numbered 33,000,OO0.
 | In camp kettles and mess tins the de-
 mands have multiplied seventy-four and seventy -eightfold respectively. Of the l mess tins about 20 per cent have
 gone to our allies Very careful
 organization was required to se-
 cure the necessary supplies of cutlery l for the training centrs and for the men 1 in the field. About 23,000,000 knives and | forks and 100000 spoons represent the
 demands in this direction. Of the former | production has been increased about three I fold and of the latter five to skiold In cidentally, the production of clasp knives has been doubled. Brushes, for the making of which there was an appeal to women to come forward have reached the huge total of 43,00O,OOO. In that, of I the hard and soft, the long and short ha ndled for sweeping, and those designed for scrubbing, cleaning harness. clothes and shaving.
 The British army is well fed, but too close a discussion is not permitted. It l may be said, however, without indiscre- ! tion, that the normal requirements for 100000 men for a year on the British scale of rations come to some 365 000, U00 pounds of fresh or frozen meat. or 274, o0ooo0 pounds of preserved meat, 91,0OO,- GOO pounds of bacon, 6S, 600 pounds of | cheese the same quantity of jam and | sugar, 22,O00,000 pounds of condensed
 milk and 100000 pounds of tea. This
 number of men will further need IL 0OO,-
 COG pounds of salt, 63o 0OO pounds of pep
 per, and 450,000 pounds of mustard. A
 further provision of tea and sugar, with
 pea sop and the tots" of rum, must be
 allowed on these totals when the men
 are in the trenches. Timed and dried
 vegetables by the million pounds must
 be available to take the place of the | fresh varieties where these cannot be | obtained. Then a certain amount of al- | ternatives, as rice in place of biscuits, or dried fruit and honey instead of jam,
 must be provided.
 | If these quotations be multiplied by the
 number of millions of men you think
 have to be supplied, some idea may come
 of the stupendous provisions required.

[Paid Advertisement Liquor Revenue and the Public School

Boston average two dollars and sixty-three cents per year, while no- license Cambridge averaged, dur. ing the same period, four dollars and fosty.four cents per thousand dollar valuation for school purposes
 That certainly does not look as if the schools of Cambridge suffered because Cambridge refused the liquor bribe. Taking the same ten-year period. we find the mo- license cities of the state were, Brocton, Beverly, Cambridge, Everett, Maiden Medford, Melrose Newton, Quincy. Sou1erville, and WalthanL The average amount per year appropriated per thousand dollar valuation for school pur- poses by these cities was five dol lars and four cents.
 Not only did the schools in the no-license places not suffer. but they actually received more money in proportion to valuation than in the cities and towns where they granted licenses, and received the high license fees which made them partners in the liquor business.
 There were thirty per cent less pupils in high schools in the Ii. cense cities, showing the advan- tage of no license in its effect upon the school life of the pupils. And, while receiving the license money, and paying out less for schools than the no license cities, the tax rates average one dollar and nine cents per thousand higher in the license cities than in the cities which, receive no license money, keep their streets free from demoralizing presence of the saloon.
 For a losing game, a devils bargain, the license system is a sure method,
 It costs something to raise boy and, estimating his actual cost at two thousand dollars, it Is not very profitable to raise a two- thousand-dollar-boy, and then a one-thousand-dollar-saloon to ruin and destroy him.

I've must have the liquor rev enue in order to support the Pu biit school system" say the supporter of license. Not so. The state of Maine derives no revenue from the liuqor business. and yet so efficient is its school system that Mass achusetts, one of the foremost states of the Union in its education. al system. is now trying to secure the services of the superintendent of schools of Maine as state com. missioner of education for the old Bay State. And so far from the truth is the statement of the defen- ders of license, when they say that schools will suffer if the license bribe is cut off, that it is shown by the record of years that the Cities and towns shutting out the liquor traffic actually spent more money for the support of the public schools than do the cities and towns granting licenses. There are more children in the schools in proportion to the population, they stay in school longer. and in that way are better prepared by edu- cational equipment to fight the battle of life. The official records prove this beyond the possibility of doubt. The educational system ot Massachusetts has nationwide reputation. We spend large amount of money in order to efficiently equip our schools.
 We recognize the truth of the declaration of John Stuart Mill when he said, It is an almost
 
 self-evident axiom, thah the state should require and compel the up to certain standard, of every human being who is born it's citizen" And with this prin- ciple governing the action of the entire state, we find the no-license cities to be in the forepost position in the support of the public schools.
 During the ten-year period ot IooI.1o1o, inclusive. the amount per thousand-dollar valuation for schools by license

NATIONAL GUARD TO
 RECEIVE QUARTER PAY
Enlisted Men Drilling "A Times 2 Year Will Receive $4S
 Annually.

Little Rock, May 25.-Beginning with July, the enlisted men of the Arkansas National Guard will re- ceive pay at the rate of 25 per cent of that which is given a private in the regular army. If he attends drill regularly "A times year, and meets all other requirements, he will be paid $48 a year. All officers above and including captain will be paid $500, except the staff and state head quarters officers who shall receive $250 in addition to the amount they receive from the state. When in camp on regular duty they shall re- ceive the full pay of regular army of ficers of equal rank.
 Another important feature of the Chamberlain reorganization bill which has just passed congress is that before the law applies, the state shall have not less than 200 enlisted men for each Congressional district, and shall have five years to build it up to minimum of 800 per district. This would give the state of Arkan- sas total of $500 men, or four reg iments of peace footing, and entitle the state to an officer ranking as a brigadier general.
