PREPAREDNESS SAVES LIVES

The senate bill calls for the enormous appropriation of $5505oSOOO
for the support OF the enlarged army 1t is the biggest military supply
bill ever reported to congress. The senate also has passed the naval bill
calling for $315O0OOO for naval preparedness. That makes a total of
S64559SM0 for national defense.
More than half 4 billion! 1t sounds like a staggering su?. Yet Great
Britain alone has had to spend nearly $l4NOCONOO for two years OF war
Germany has spent nearly $15CO00O0OO0.
Weakness has never prevented war, but strength sometimes has. The
$64550SOO for national defense may prove to be national insurance
against possible war that would cost ten or twenty times as much. And
if Jar should come it will NEAR the saving OF thousands upon thousands
of human lives.
Preparedness saves lives, once a war is under way. An army without
adequate artillery would be moved down like wheat in a Kansas field.
Anticipated battles ships would be swept from the sea like paper targets

ONCE OVERS

SO you arc dissatisfied with The sort of work you are doing?
Or are you discouraged because you do not make advancement Or
receive more salary?
Did the thought ever strike you that even if it be distasteul, it may
be part Of a big plan that you should learn this particular thing before you
get the position you a most?
Try this out Learn every detail OF your job accurately and then
work for speed, if your task be nothing more than clipping ends off the
envelopes. Perfection first, and then the fastest man on your job.
When you have accomplished this much, how long do you think it
will be before you are recognized as ready for a place higher up?
Before you complain follow this plan and don't stop by the stroke
of the clock, either. You label yourself more effectively by watching the
clock than in any other way, and you will find the proprietor, the owner
and manager do not measure their services that way. Imagine what they
would do in your place.
This method is bound to advance you t. success.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO OLD COMSTOCKER

Judge {. c. Goodwin, in an article in Goodwins Weekly upon the
ate Philip Dedeshcmer, concludes by saying: "Dedesheimer was or
nany years o the Comstock and always seemed prosperous. He was
4 kind hearted, genial man, most lovahc in his contact With men
We are told that after the bonanza went into borasca and all the old
mining chiefs had passed on, Deideshemer found it hard to face the
world, and we fear it ws true. He had been dreaming for years that he
would Strike it. and we suspect that sometimes his dreams were disturb
ed by hunger, old fashioned plebeian hunger.
If they were, we are sorry, for could he have his way no living Crea-
turew would ever have been hungry. And now the merciul earth has open
ed her arm and taken him to rest, shading his eyes from the light May
his sleep be sweet"

AN ADD MANS STORY

During a convention Of ad writer's held in Chicago some told the
following:
"A man entered a shop n cold day and bought a wooden muf1er.
When he opened the muf1er he found inside the photograph of a beautiful
girl with a note couched in these terms:
"If you re single please write to me-
"A name and address followed and the man smiled. He was single.
He placed the photo OF his library table. In a week he had fallen in love
with the picture of the beautiful girl So he wrote to her.
"A week passed, during which the bachelor was in a fever OF I'M
patience. Finally he received this terrific blow in the shape Of a letter:
"Dear Sir: The Mary Jones to whom you wrote my grand
mother. She died nine years ago. aged 81. Yours truly
upon investigating this strange case the broken-hearted bachelor
discovered that he had purchased the mufler from a dealer who did not
advertise"

PoWERLEss ON HIS PROMISE

Because Candidate Hughes has expressed himself as being personally
in favor of an equal suffrage amendment to the United States constitution
is n reason why the good women should flock to his standard, says the
Stockton Mail. Hughes has committed himself to the Republican platform,
which does not favor equal suffrage by federal enactment and he is
powerless to change any of the fundamentals OF that party.

MANY O C0NNERS
CLAIM FORTUNE
TWENTY PERSONS OF THAT
NAME FILE A CLAIM FOR
100000 ESTATE.

Clinton. April 12.-Twenty people
bearing the name of "O'Conner" have
filed their names with Clinton county
authorities as the unknown heirs OF
the 100000 estate of John O'Conner,
who died two years ago at Hastings,
Neb., without leaving any known rela-
tives to claim his fortune.
The large number of newly discover
ed relatives to the deceased man came
as the result of letter'received here
on April from lawyer in Hastings,
asking that county authorities en-
deavor to locate any pefsons who
might lay just claims to the estate.
The letter said that the dead man was
supposed to have once had distant rel
'atives living in this section Of Iowa,
and that these would be the heirs to
the entire fortune If they could be To-
Gated. IT,. . ... @
None of the persons who reported
themselves at the county clerks office
was able to establish any lineal con-
nection,> but believed that the 100000
was at least worth filing their names
for.

IOWA DEATHS ON
STEADY DECREASE
EXPERT FINDS THAT LIFE IN
.HAWKEYE STATE is GROW
@ t~ ING LONGER.

Des Moines, April ~. The death
rate in Iowa Is growing lower yearly.
according to a recent statement by DR..
G. H. Sumner, secretary Of the Iowa
state board of health. According to
analysis of the death statistics for the
last six years the length of life OF res
idents is increasing steadily. A report
on the death rate will be contained IN
the regular census report which Is to
be made public soon.
According to DR.. Summers state
ment, there has been a decided de-
crease in deaths of children under five
years of age since 1910. Each classifi-
cation under forty years also shows
decrease in the number OF deaths each
year. s-
In the classification of persons be-
tween 40 and so years of age, an IN.
crease in the death rate Is found And
from the age of 80 on the increase IN
the number Of deaths per capita popu
lation continues and grows as the age
increases.
Save the baby" campaigns and
health propaganda preached to young
persons, as well as general improve
ment Of conditions throughout the
state as regards sanitation are prob
ably responsible, for the decrease In the
death rate of younger persons accord
ing to DR.. Summers statement.
The report shows that pneumonia
claimed more victims in Iowa since
1910 than tuberculosis. There were
about 5000 deaths due to pneumonia IN
that period and only 5000 deaths
a comparatively small number, accord
ing to the report due to the white
plague
Grip took a heavy toll in December
1915 according to the report. the
total number of deaths in that month
was 1880, while in 1914 there We're
only 1924 deaths and physicians say
that the influenza epidemic was largely
responsible for the increase.
Following is the number OF deaths
by months, in 1915:
January 2,oSs; February 2,o46;
March 2.347;. Aril 2.077: May l,76S;
June 1882; July 1886; August l,543;
