the reserves and here is the serious
flaw in the administrations program.
A continental army, to be- recruited
to 100000 in three annual install
ments of $4,000, is proposed by the
president These 400, 1000 reserves
are expected to come forward avolun-
tarily. The whole plan is dependent
on the expectation that the volunteer
stream will have enough volume to
| fill the enlarged regular armyts to
keep the national guard or militia

Volunteer Plan Unjust.
It is gravely to be questioned if
the volunteer stream would be suf-
iciently large and sufficiently con-
|stant to insure the success of the ad-
|ministration's program. The presi-
ldent is therefore asking that his de-
|fense structure shall be builded on
uncertainty and essential injustice,
4 for it is unjust to throw the whole
burden of national defense on the
volunteer and leave the shirker care
free and immune from duty.
Here shows the flinching trait that
lis so strong in Mr.. Wilson. He finch
es and falls short of facing his prob
lem with the far vision and the reso-
lutte determination of the construc-
tive statesman, if the presidents
premises are sound. (The Spokes-
man-Review believes they are.) If
the nation needs large, certain and
constant preparedness against the
peril of assault and invasion, it
should build that preparedness on
foundations of certainty and fairness.
In the Swiss system of general and
compulsory training of the young
manhood of the country, we are Of
|fered these firm foundations. It is
preparedness without militarism. It
is democratic, the youth of the rich,

STATES JEALOUSY
DIDN'T PROMPT HER
Nurse Declares Mrs. Adams Wrote to
Militia Officer Threatening
His Life.

Macon, Ca, August 26.-While the
county, authorities are working on the
theory that Mrs. H. C. Adams, Of At
lanta, was prompted by jealousy to
kill Capt. Edgar Spratling, of Com
pany F., 5th regiment, yesterday at
Camp Harris, the woman continues to
deny that such is the case. She mas
thus far refused to give motive fur
ther than that indicated in her state
ment of yesterday.
Mrs. Maude Monk, the former
nurse who brought out the jealousy
feature of the case late last night,
went to the headquarters Of the 5th
regiment today and urged the officers
to search the effects Of Capt. Sprat-
ling for letter which Mrs Monk
states that he received from Mrs.
Adams. Mrs. Monk asserted that in
this letter Mrs. Adams had threauened
the life of the captain.
Mrs. adams in the Jail today denied
that she had written such a letter.
Omcers of the regiment would not
state what had been found in the cap
tains property.
The body of Capt. Spratling was
taken to Atlanta early this morning
under a military escort. The body
will be taken from there to Opelika,
Alabama, for burial.

9. The United States Warehouse
Act will enable, the, department., u
agriculture to license bonded ware
houses in the various states. 1t will
lead TO- the Development of better
storage facilities for staple crops and
will make possible the issuances of
reliable warehouse receipts which will
be widely and easily negotiable
10. Of no less Importance for agri-
culture and for the national develop
ment is the Federal Aid Road act:
This measure will conduce to the es-
tablishment of more effective high
way machinery in each state, strongl7
influence the development of good
read building along right line5, slim
u.ate larger production and better
marketing, promote fuller and more
attractive rural life, add greatly to
the convenience and economic vel
fare of all the people and strengthen
the national foundations. The act en-
bodies sound principles of road legls'
lation and will safeguard the eXpen-
diture of the funds arising under the
act not only, bui will also result IN
the more efficient use Of the large
additional sums made available by
states and localities.
II. The Federal Reserve act bene-
fits $he farmer, as it does all the other
people of the nation, by guaranteeing
better banking, safeguarding the cred
il structure of the country and pre-
venting panics. 1t takes particular
note of the special needs of the far
ner by making larger provisions fo'
loans through national banks on farm
mortgages and by giving farm paper
a maturity period of six months.
IL. 1t was essential, however, that
banking machinery be devised which
would reach intimately into the rur Il
districts, that it should operate on
terms suited to the farmers needs,
and should be under sympathetic
management The need was for
machinery which would introduce busi-
ness methods into farm finance, bring
order out of chaos, reduce the cost OF
handling farm loans, place upon the
market mortgages which would be
safe investment for private funds, at
tract into agricultural operations
fair share of the capital Of the nation,
and lead to a reduction of interest
These needs and these ideals haV'
been met by the enactment of the Fed
eral Farm Loan act.
I am glad to have had an opportun-
ity to take part in the execution O.
Il is large program, which 1 believe
will result in making agriculture
Lore profitable and country lie
more comfortable and attractive, ant'
therefore insure the retention in rural
d. stricts of an efficient and contented
population.

Dear Miss Fairfax: 1 have been go
ing out with young man for about
two years. During this time he was
my sincere friend. Last week he told
me that he was engaged, but did not
love the young lady to whom his
mother forced him to become engaged.
He told me that he loved me and if I
promised to marry him he would break
his engagement. with the young lady
whom he did not love. I really love
him. b H
If this young man were sincere in
his friendship for you, he had no right
to devote himself to you at the time
that he was permitting himself to be,
as he puts it, forced" into an engage
ment with another girl. I'm afraid he
is going to make, not one, but both of
you, unhappy. If he will honorably
explain the situation tc his mother. to
the other girl and to your people, per-
haps it will be all right for you to risk
an engagement with him. But assure
yourself of his loyalty before you per-
NIT your affections to go any deeper.

Early in the history of fancy poultry
breeding in America an attempt was
made to produce a Cochin Bantam
with the beautiful lacings of the Sea-
brights. A Seabright cock was crossed
with Cochin hen. When the size of
this ogspring proved too large to class
as a bantam, they were dubbed Sea-
bright Cochins. Other crosses of Sill
ver-Spangled Hamburgs and Cochins
were made and the blood of the two
crosses intermingled. The resulting
fowls were mated to a fowl known as
the Eureka, which was the result of a
cross of Silver-Spangled Hamburgs on
Dark Brahma females.
When these two strains were
brought together more uniform speci-
mems were produced. The fowls had
rose-combs and their plumage was
much the same as it is to-day. The fe-
males are beautifully laced black and
white in all sections and the male lac
ed in the breast and body and striped
in the neck and saddle. This colora-
ton, while very crude at that time and
