PREPAREDNESS.

Veda ~. C. Boyle, Carson city.
The idea of conquest or aggression
has no part in the patriotic movement
for more adequate national defense
now being considered by our people
and preparedness" as l view it and
approve il. is not for any kind of war
except that which may be forced upon
us
More than any nation the United
States has cultivated peaceful ideals
and has grown great and powerful
thereby. Two years ago few of us
would have risen TO dispute the state
ment that the whole world had become
too intelligent to permit war involv-
ing the leading powers OF Europe, yet
we have the scene of all Europe en-
gagged in the greatest and cruclest
war of all time, involving not only the
countries whose policies have been
militaristic but those which desired
peace and had been promised protec-
very neighbors which at the outset of
the war turned their guns upon them
and practically destroyed and depopu-
lated them. If these peaceful coun-
tries did not seek war and war never
thelcss came upon them. why should
we assume that it may not some day
be forced on us?
Surely if our rights or our territory
! We're involved, no woman fired by IL
patriotic sense Of her duty would want
to see her home and her country I'M
guarded, her husband. her brother or
her sons lacking in equipment and
training 10 protect themselves and
their firesidcs.
Preparedness" is insurance against
war and the women of the country,
who really make the great sacrifices
when war comes, can be trusted TO
/ advocate sans preparation for what
may come and to see that no over
enthusiasm for militaristic ideals ever
leads us into a misuse of the defensive
organizations which we may create.

HOME GROWN.

You don't plant oats upon a hill
A hundred miles away,
And somewhere else your corn to drill
You know would never pay.
You plant AT HOME to get the yield
Whatever crops are grown,
For planting in some other field
VIII never help your own.
And it's the same with dollars,
For dollars, too, are seed:
The cash today you send away
Tomorrow you will need.
Don't send your cash afar to roam.
But, wiser, learn to SOW,
Just plant your dollars here at home
And watch your dollars grow"

ANOTHER APRIL FOOL STORY.

SMARTSVILLE, Cal, April l.
Boldly walking in through the school
room door while a program was in
progress, a skunk furnished a heaping
measure of excitement for the pupils
of the Lone Tree school here.
Mistaking the polecat for a squirrel,
the teacher, Miss Margaret Bohrman.
ordered the squirrel to leave.
And when her command wasn't
obeyed she started to chase the visitor
away.
The teacher and pupils have buried
their clothes and there has been a run
on perfumes at the local drug store.
The windows are open all day long.

viewing things closely, we final

we visited and rested with j. l..
Ambrosier and family until near
night, when we started back.
All along our routes, of both
days, grain of all kinds was in
the stack, and growing crops
were looking good, considering
the weather, and we think with
out doubt our farmers will have
plenty of grain and forage crops
to take care of their stock during
the winter in fine shape.

duit road. The road is patrolled at
the present time by special officer.
any persons who are disorderly or ex-
ceeding the speed limit. but it has
been found by experience that being
put Off the road is not sufficient pun
ishment to avoid breach of the traffic
regulations.
= Urges Provision for Penalties.
1T is believed, therefore, that the
establishment Of regulations for the
government Of the Washington aque-
duct and the filtration plant and their
accessories. including the Conduit
road. providing penalties for violations
thereof. Is a necessity for the proper
government of the aqueduct, and that
necessity is daily increasing. Legisla-
tive authority is necessary for the es-
Establishment of such regulations in or
der that they may have the force of

The Secretary therefore recommends
the inclusion in the pending District of
Columbia appropriation bill of a para
graph authorizing the chief of engi-
neers of the army to make the reguIa-
tons referred to and prescribing pen
alties for violations thereof. such as
a fine of not less than $25 nor more
than 800, or Imprisonment for not more
than one year. for each offense. 1t is
provided also that violations within the
District limits shall be prosecuted in

Court and that violations in Maryland
be prosecuted in the United States dis

WELCOME TO COLLECT
RELIEF FUNDS IN j. S.
British Government Denies Purpose
to Interfere With Irish
Succor.

LONDON, August 4-In reply to a
question in the house of commons
recently by Alfred Byrne, nationalist
member for the harbor division of Dub
lin, as to whether any difficulty would
be placed in the way of Irish members
desiring to go to America to collect
funds for the relief of dependents of
persons shot on North King street,
Dublin. in the fighting during the re-
bellion there, Herbert L. Samuel, the
home secretary, said he was not aware
that any application had been made
for passport for such a purpose.
The home secretary said there was
no desire to place any difficulty in
the way of the collection of a fund
for persons who had suffered through
the Dublin rebellion and any applica-
tion for a passport would be con-
sidered on it's merits.
Answering a further question by
Mr.. Byrne as to why Thomas Hughes
Kelly of New York, treasurer of the
Irish relief fund, and his assistant,
Joseph p. Smith. were not allowed to
land from the steamer Philadelphia. the
home secretary said:
There is no objection to persons from
America assisting in the administration
of relief funds for Ireland and two indi-
viduals were admitted for this purpose.
In the case of one of the men mentioned
in the question whose ostensible object
was as stated, permission was refused on
the ground that he was engaged in bust
ness hostile to this country. The other
that he was also refused permission to
land.
