William H. Avis, /Manufac- turer of Hamden, Deplores
 Too Much Confidence.

In a recent article made public through the pen of William H. Avis, of Hamden, Conn, a gunmaker with a knowledge dating over a third of a century, it is clearly shown that mot with the great gun plants that are now springing into existence in New Eng land would it be possible to turn out sufficient rifles with which to repel a first class military invasion.
 Big gun plants are not erected in a day" says MT. Avis, 'tnor are they erected or equipped in a day, or a week. Neither are they put upon a producing basis in a month or even a year In order to equip a rifle plant it/is necessary to first obtain the ma c11inery.
 "Besides the matter of obtaining the machinery there is the tremendous task Of transporting the machinery. which has recently tied up the rail- roads of the country
 Thus it will be seen that while try the fact that there has been a de- lay in the shipment of real guns that is to be expected from the educational and experimental stages.
 We'll informed persons state that of the great force of help now in Bridge port, necessary in the manufacture of military equipment when experienced help is required, there will be many changes before the highest efficiency is reached in this plant and millions will have been spent in educational features and experimenting on ma terials before the present factory is capable of producing actual war ma terial for this or any other country.

LET US WAIT AND SEE.

President Wilson was reported a few days ago that as soon as the political conventions had completed their labor. he would endeavor to bring the warning nations to talk peace = or some thing to that effect. Now let us what can be done II the United States can do something. by all means let us do 1t. We have boasted of our peace loving propensity long enough, now let Us act.
 Those nations have been struggling long enough. They have punished one another enough. They have abused the worlds privilege to have peace about as much as most of the neu- tral nations should stand In other words they have caused the neutrals enough inconvenience to warrant interference. Whenever peaceful community is annoyed by boisterous elements, it finds ways to compel peace, and oftentimes, the law provides the power to stop the annoy ances If such can be done in small commun- ity why could it not be done when it affects na- tions. The neutrals have a right to demand peace then why not demand it?

in opposition parties will look with different eyes upon every man and decide almost every question upon different principles and different angles When such occasion occur, to hold firm to our opinion is displeasing to our pickled friend To agree, in order to keep his friendship, is to lose the happiness of dignity of independence Then what is to be done?
 Who shall determine who is right and who is wrong when neither believes himself mistaken Nine times out of every ten. debates and con- tradiction will avail nothing. Result-exchange of civilty may continue but the poison that kills friendship is infused, and from that time on, a coldness may not be apparent to all but it is felt by the dssenters.

 What is more to be desired than an humble home surrounded by things and neighbors that make life happy. But suppose that within your home. happiness reign supreme, but that your neighbor is what this man called 'pickled," can you be happy?

My experience with the Lewis
County Farmer Adviser is that he
is an invaluable assistance to the
farmers who viii call ON him for
information and use the same to
the best of their judgement. In
various ways he has helped me
make more money In the farming
business, and particularly in as
sisting me with the plans for q
eement-floored dairy barn, which
service was worth at least S35 and
only cost me my small proportion
of the tax necessary to make up
his salary.
Other lines of business have
their information bureaus and adj

should not the farmers.

/ On the morning OF Jan. 18th,
the members OF the Evergreen
Isehool district net for the pur-
lpoSe of celebrating their first am
lnual gathering as a community or
ganization. Dir T. J. PRINTS was
the president, and presided with
honor to himself and pleasure to
the friends and members.
Owing 90 stormy weather there
were not as many out as expected,
but the school house was well
titled.
First on the program was a
sumptuous dinner, spread on the
new tables which Mr.. Primus had
prepared for the occasion. To say
that the ladies Of that district
understand the secrets 0f the cul-
mary art is to put it mildly, for
we heard Prof Robb, of Moscow,
and Prof. Wade, Of Nezperce, say
they never saw anything like it.
After the tables were cleared
the program was opened with
singing America, MrsR0upe al
the organ. The president in his
way introduced the speaker Of
the day, Prof. Rokb, Of Moscow
Experiment station. He gave
very instructive address on peas.
both field and garden, and gave
some very interesting facts about
when to plant, and what varities
would be best on this prairie.
Prof. Wade was introduced To
the people but needed no intro /
duetiOn, owing to the fact that he
had been with them before. First
he told them that it was probably
the last time he would have a
chance to be with them owing to
the efforts some had made with
the Commissioners to discontinue
the office OF County Agent. We i
were very much surprised at the
action Of the Commissioners for
We of the districts are Of the opin-
on that the County Adviser is a
good thing and should receive the

rave us a splendid talk on the G

hat he had not had the time to I
demonstrate the full value Of his 2

POLITICAL POT BOILING

During the special session of the
legislature at Pierre last week fresh
fire was placed under the political pot.
The POLITICAL situation was discussed
from many angles and conferences
were held both day and night whip
ping things in shape before the cam
paigns open in earnest.
The muck-rakers and trouble makers
were doubtless disappointed that the
session closed without any marked
friction among the legislators and
without embarking upon any extensive
legislative programs.
The political developments which
came to surface at Pierre last week
have been summed up by the Sioux
Falls Press in the following language:
State Tickets
"a pretty contest looms large in the
race for lieutenant governor, in which
no less than six names figure, two as
avowed candidates, two as probable
candidates, and two as possible an
didates. Former Senator William
Hoese, of Spencer, Tuesday night au-
thorized the Press correspondent TO
him as an active candidate.
You have heard this sort of thing
often. but know of little else to say
he said. i have been importuned by
trends and associates in sufficient
number, and representing a widely
enough scattered sentiment, to assure
me that the wish that | become lied
tenant governor is a great deal more
than a local boom. and I frankly say
/ am not unwilling
"The news spread to the hotels and
added interest to the discussion of the
lieutenant governorship, which had be-
come lively the night before when Sen.
McMaster, of Yankton, suddenly and
some way preciptately, gave it out 10
the correspondents that he was after
the place.
Friends of George Douthit, of Sioux
Falls, have been urging him to get
into this contest. but Mr.. Douthit de-
clares that he is not In for a fight for
the place-that he is willing to become

the movement for harmony; and that
Is for others. not himself, TO decide
that point. The Sioux Falls man has
added to his list of friends here very
substantially by his generally friendly
and concilliatory attitude.
'sDiscussion of the governorship is
confined largely to how Peter Norbeck
may stand on the candidates. OF others
