tory and our national honor
The program introduced In con-
gress by President Wilson constitutes
the demands of the administration.
This program is a compromise be-
tween the various departments of the
government. However, 1t is clearly
not acceptable to many of those who
participated in its preparation. 1t was
not accepted by the war STAFF or the
war college, and military experts be-
lieve that it falls short of the require
ments of the present time. The plan
for establishing q continental army has
been particularly criticized, especially
by those who believe In rendering
more efficient the militia of the vari-
GUS states.
Congressman Augustus p. Gardner
of Massachusetts, is considered the
author of the present movement for
national preparedness. He was the
first man in congress to agitate the
issue and to call attention directly to
our dangerous condition Of military un-
preparedness and naval inefficfency.
Gardeners program is declared to be
unscientific, but it Is at least interest
ing and suggestive.
General WOOD, cnleI OF staH OF Tue

to the more technical and scientific
questions involved. The American peo-
pie have never been instinctively q
military class, but Wood has insisted
that they should at least know the
salient features Of the military art.
Upon him will devolve the duty OF
developing the practical ends OF such
a program as congress may adopt.

Says England Needs Repentance.

Canon Newbolt, preaching at st.
Paul's cathedral, said there was no
good Disgusting the fact that England
as nation needed both repentance
and hope. '"Those of us behind the
scenes in the moral life of the nation"
he added, "know that in many ways
things are as bad as ever they can
be, and there are some things SO. bad
that they cannot be alluded to with
propriety from this pulpit"
In a plea for a strong public opinion
against evil, Canon Newbolt pointed
out that If there were no demand
there would be no supply. If youth
would set it's face against immodest
post cards and other evils, the supply
would cease. Much could be done by
a few resolute men in purifying the
atmosphere. "Let u.s." he urged, "make
Sin disreputable. Let us make It

There would be nothing for them to
do but fall into the truck. AS they
reached the truck came the order from
the rookie corporal, Fall inr' Being,
as they thought, already completely
fallen in, the men were nonplussed as
to how to fall in any further. 1t didn't
occur to them to tumble into the truck,

WHY IS TABLECLOTH SACRED7
its Natural Function Is to Get Dirty,
but Woe to the Man Who Gets
Spot on 1t.

"Why," demanded the Occasional
Grumbler, in the tone of one who not
only did not expect, but would not
tolerate, an answer, should a clean
tablecloth be the most sacred thing
about fairly average family house
hold? A clean tablecloth is not lares
or penates, either or both. It's Just q
rag that has managed to get through
the laundry in good shape. 1t can 60
through again in just as good shape
or just about as good; and, for that
matter, If the worst came to the worst
(as your wife generally expects it to-
1t could be replaced without disturbing
the quotation on international ex-
change.
But woman never thinks about
that. To her a clean tablecloth is a
thing to be worshiped, not thing to
be eaten off Of, and it never occurs
to her that no magic can bless it with
semipaternal cleanliness. It's got to
get dirty sometime-why not now?
Nothing to it! If you overflow the
gravy from the meat platter, which
through no fault of yours-has been
filed too full, or If you happen to dec
crate the immaculate splendor Of the
cloth with nice red polka dot of cram
berry juice, you're In bad for the rest
Of the day, and maybe longer.
"Of course, when such things hap
pen, the tablecloth is only serving the
purpose for which 1t is put there, but
that's no excuse. You ought to be
more carefulP This comes across the
table In no uncertain tones. But 1t
isn't in the nature Of news, because
you've heard 1t plenty often before.
Il say 1t is the business Of q clean
tablecloth to get dirty and get washed,
and get dirty and get washed, and get
dirty and get washed. But what I say
doesn't make any difference. I get in
so bad every time a new tablecloth is
sprung at our house that In my love for
the comfort Of dirty ones am becom-
ing slovenly in my habits. So what
say is this: Either you ought to be
affiuent enough to have a clean table
cloth every meal, or two or three times
meal If necessary or desirable, or
you ought to be humble enough to be
content to eat off Of an oilcloth-cov-
cred table that can be swabbed off,
without damage or distress Of tenn
er."-Indianapolis News.

Love BeQets Love.

Then the great question comes: Is
not love a perfectly free and capri
cious agent? Can control my feelings
for others or their feelings for me7
The answer Is, "Certainly you can."
Love Is just exactly as much a matter
OF cause and effect as are learning or
health or building house. Loving and
being loved is a perfectly pliaple mat
ter that lies in your own hands; and
its accomplishment consists In the con-
stant practice Of kind and affectionate
thoughts and words and deeds. 1t can
be accomplished under the most SEEM
ingly adverse circumstances. II you
think over your own life, over what
you believe to be your spontaneous af-
fections. whom is 1t you love? Undoubt-
edly someone who does not make much
OF your failings, but encourages your
good Qualitiesi someone who sees
something admirable In youi someone
who overlooks the roughness and ex-
crescences and finds the beauty under

Crops.

In Quebec the chief crop is hay. The
area devoted to its cultivation in 1915
was estimated to be about 5000 600
acres, and much Of it was exported ut
high prices. About ], 100000 acres were
sown to oats, and the crop was an ex-
cellent one, both as to quantity and
quality, high prices being realized for
the estimated yield of about 100000
bushels harvested. Little barley Is
raised in Quebec, but the area of
about $4,000 acres produced In the
neighborhood of $4,000 bushels and
brought good prices. The wheat grown
In the province is all of the spring
wheat variety. The total crop in 1915
was estimated at 1.447,OO0 bushels, an
increase Of nearly 100000 bushels over
