COST OF PREPAREDNESS

HTE are hearing much just now
w from the peace-at-any-price
minority of the overwhelming
cost of preparedness. They are talk
ing OF the price of militarism in Ger
many as a comparison with what we
as a people may be called upon to
bear. This is all foolishness. The
people of the United States will never
be called upon to shoulder a single
burden of preparedness in excess of
what a majority of them believe they
should. An administration that does
not give the people what they want
finds itself out in the cold after four
years.
The price of preparedness should be
considered as similar to our individual
contributions to fire insurance. Con-
gresham Kreider in a recent address
on the subject, summed the matter up
very we'll when he said:
Regarding the financial burden
that preparedness Will necessarily
bring. l wish To say that the bur
den of cost is greatly and grossly
exaggerated. The figures in the ag-
greSate may look large, but they
parison to other expenses of the
Government or our national
wealth. If we desire to compare
the costa single battle would
cost us more than it will cost to
construct most powerful navy and.
maintain a good-siZed army. A
more than 9. century of prepared
ness. Should we, unhappily, be-
come involved in conflict with
n a q Ia nf
tie? How would you meas
ure in money the value of the dead
or the agony of the wounded and
dying. the suffering and privations
of the widow and orphan? What is
human life and human blood and
human suffering worth measured in
gold? In fact, we all agree it is
not a question of cost. No. no. it is
solely and entirely a question
win preparedness reduce the
chances of war?
And preparedness in this country
will do just that thing. 1t is not the
big, strong man known to go armed
who offers temptation to the lurking
footpad. The bully seldom attacks the
man he fears may give him drub-
bing. 1t is so among nations. But
even in war, preparedness, as at Ma
nila or Santiago, may end a conflict
that otherwise might be long drawn
out. The readiness of Dewey and
Schley and the effectiveness of their
fleets unquestionably saved the lives of
hundreds. perhaps thousands, of
Americans, and of Spaniards, too, for
that matter. The future may hold for
us something very like those occasions.
History has a tendency to repeat itself.

on King Albert's birthday Ten mill
lion miniature Belgium flags have
been distributed, so that the public may
concentrate on making contributions
TO provide clothing and food for the
women and children in the occupied
portions of the war-racked countries.
1t is the largest number of flags ever
printed for any charitable work. The
emblems are to be distributed for an
offering, the minimum amount of
which is seven cents, the cost of a
ration for one Belgian for one day.
Mrs. Daisy Allen Story, president of
the d. A. r., on behalf of the National
Board of the Society, says of this
movement:
The national board of our society
has decided on a Belgium Flag
Day, to be held on the anniver-
sary of King Alberts birthday, the
Sth of April. We are working di-
rectly through our 100000 mem
bers. These women will organize
their friends into little bands and
stand on every street corner, and
in front of every railroad station,
every theater and office building,
and II necessary, make a house
city and town in the country and
sell Belgian flags to help the inno-
cent sufferers in Belgium and
Northern France.
1t is estimated that 10000 900 peo-
pie in the United States have not in
any way contributed to the Belgian
fund and an effort will be made to
reach many of these. Nobody will
miss seven cents, yet we are told that
this small sum will feed one hungry
Belgian for one day.

Mill THAT HAS nlDE
CIDER FOR 70 YEARS
Michigan Machine Has Ground APP
pies Probably for Three
Generations.

Adrian. Mich. I, Jan. 1o,--Neariy
Ithree-quarters Of a century of con-
tinuous operation In season In the
same building and constantly in pos
session OF the same family Is the
record Of the Bailey cider mill, locat-
ed about three miles north of the city
on the Main Street Road.
Seventy years ago DR.. G. Fl. Bailey
had more apples than he knew what
to do with. and he also found that
his neighbors were in like position.
So the deeter came to the conclusion
that a cider mill might be profitable
investment, and also prevent the large
crops of apples from spelling.
DIR. Bailey, having the mill running
and its success well established, was
succeeded by his son. r.. NJ Bailey.
The popularity OF sweet cider and the
many uses found for vinegar made
the mill popular place and produced
comfortable income for the owner.
NJ. NJ Bailey, grandson of DR.
Bailey, Is row operating the mill with
ever increasing business. When ask
ed how much cider and vinegar had
been manufactured, the owner could
only guess. but last seasons sales
amounted to 500 barrels. besides the
sweet cider sold and many drinks
passed out to thirsty travellers, who
were successful In locating the mill.
Local option has little affected the
saies OF the mill. the owner only find
ing that he must not hold the sweet
cider too long This does not mean
financial loss. as the greatest sales
are from tho vinegar.

SUICIDE
AS 1916
ARRIVES

At the very moment when New
Years eve had reached Its climax,
the whistles blowing, crowds
cheering and horns footing, a
little man in . worn gray suit
trudged to the center of the Puy-
allup river bridge and threw him.
self over into the icy waters.
Before making his leap, the
little man removed his coat. fold
ed It neatly and laid II down on
the bridge floor. On top of II
he put d small black leather purse
containing $1.65. and over this
he laid his worn black hat.
An employee OF the Milwaukee
shops crossed the bridge a few
moments later and saw the sui
cide's tracks In the soft snow.
He found the pile OF clothing.
Snow brushed carefully from the
bridge rail added to the silent
story.
