WILSON NOR HUGHES
THE NEXT PRESIDENT

Numerous "slickers" are trying to
take money away from the unsuspect.
Ing by offering to bet that neither
Woodrow Wilson nor Charles Evans
Hughes will be the next president OF
the United States.
Here's the explanation. Paste it in
your hat and disseminate 1t far and
wide. 1t follows:
trary to precedent to hold an Inaugural
ton on Sunday President Wilson took
ONCE at noon, March a. 1913. Under
the constitution. his term of Office Is
for a period Of four years; and hat
term, therefore, will expire at noon,
March 4. 1917. The same disability
prevents Vice President Marshall from
assuming the Office.
BY an act of congress dated Jan. 10,
1886, 1t is provided that the secretary
Of state and other cabinet officers in
order shall succeed to the presidency
in case both the president and the vice
president are eliminated. Hence, barr
ing his death or resignation, Robert
Lansing, now secretary of state, will
be president of the United States for
twenty-four hours, beginning at noon
Sunday.
In 1849 United States Senator David
Atchison Rice of Liberty, Mo-, as pres.
ident pro tempore of the senate, sue
ceeded to the vice presidency and pres
idency in turn when the terms Of Presl-
dent Polk and Vice President Dallas
expired and held Office over Sunday I'M
til Zachary Taylor, president elect was
inaugurated.
Incidentally just think what William
Jennings Bryan missed by resigning.

Army Appropriation Bill is Soon
to be Taken UP For Consideration
BY G. Gould Lincoln
The Courier. Special Washington Correspondent

The army appropriation bill, carry
ing, in round numbers, $157, 100000
has been reported to the house and
will be taken up for consideration this
week, according to Rep. Hay Of Virginia
chairman of the committee on military
affairs. Notwithstanding the fact that
the army reorganization law provides
tor $4,000 men in the line of the army,
the appropriation bill provides only
sufficient money to jay 100000. These
figures do not include the men in the
staff departments of the army. Per-
sons who hoped that large increase
In the army was to be made at once eX-
pressed disappointment when this be-
came known and it is expected that it
will lead to considerable debate on
the floor of the house.
The bill, however. carries almost
$57. 100000 more than did the army
appropriation of last year, and much
OF this increase goes into arms and
ammunition. The items in which the
Rock Island Arsenal is particularly in
oorested remain in the bill as ar
nounced when the committee complet-
ed its work for the arsenal, and the
opening up oh small arms factory
again.
A preliminary report of the census
of manufactures in Iowa has just been
made public by the Census Bureau. 1t
shows that taken as whole, the
manufactures of the state have in.
creased to a considerable extent from
1909 to 1914, the census year. The
number of establishments in Iowa IN
1914 was 5,615 as compared to 5,528 in
1909; the capital invested was
$233,373,000 as compared to $171.219,-
900; the number of persons engaged
in manufacturing s4949 as compared
to 1880; the salaries and wages
amounted to $56,232,000 as compared
to $43,514,000: the value of products
was $310,954 900 as compared to $685.

Success.

"One night at Lady Jeune's house Joseph Chamberlain said to me that ne believed any man of even moderate endowment could attain any given aim which he set before him with unre- mitting effort and enduring to the end' To my question, Why, then, do so many men fall short of their ambi- tions?' he answered: They come to the place where they turn back. They may have killed the dragon at the first bridge and at the second, perhaps even at the third. But the dragons are al ways more formidable the farther we go. Many turn back disheartened. and very few will meet the monsters to the end. Almost none is willing to have a try with the demon at the last bridge. but if he does he has won for ever.'

Fish Exhibit Emotions.

We are accustomed to think that only we humans become pallid with fear or agitated with joy. but some ex- periments with perch in the artificial pond show that when their repose is suddenly disturbed by tapping on the glass the fish visibly tremble, and the bars which are characteristic of this species actually disappear for the time being. only to reappear when the dis turbance is removed and the equanim- ity of the fish is restored.
 Sometimes pike that is rapidly ad vancing on his prey becomes suspicious about the latter's character. The pur- suer will suddenly stop in an attitude of doubt. his back will arch, and he will remain suspended as though studying the cause of his suspicious. Only when he is thoroughly rcassrred does he becS.,e rigid. to advance to the final attack: if his suspicion is not al layed he drops to the bottom of the pond or swims off in disappointment Popular Science Monthly.

"I Love You.n

Very interesting are the phrases used by the various people of the world to express "T love you" Wherever there are human beings declarations of love are made. and there are thousand languages in which the tender passion may be expressed The Chinese say "Uo ugai ni." the Armenian expresses his love with "Se siren as hez." the Arab is content with the short "Ne habbek." while the Turk murmurs 'Sidi seveiorum." In India "Main syne ka pisar karin" is the declara- ton. But the Greenlander holds the palm for the word love.
