1hn
Washington navy yard, with the coast sur-
vey, on several ships and again at Amman
oils as commandment of the midshipmen. He
most recent sea service was as captain Of tho
superdreadnaught Utah and temporarily As.
commander Of the first division of the At
1antic fleet. He knows the warship game
from top to bottom. During the SOS he in
spected the material for the construction
of the first fighting vessels, and has hand
in the building of our navy and the training
of the men who man it.
Today Admiral Benson is, in way. what
the English would call "First Lord of the
Admiralty" We call him t'Chief of Opera
TONS" In the spring of 1915 congress en-
acted that there should be a chief of naval op-
erations, who should be charged with the CD
Grafton of the fleet, and the preparation of
plans for its use in war. The selection and
assembling of the parts of this machine, its
planning and, operation was the job which
Admiral Benson faced.
Quietly-iust thinking and working
son began to organize the new office Grad
ually the naval war college, intelligence of
flee, target practice, aeronautics and tactical
matters were brought under his control. Last
year congress passed bill giving the chief
of operations authority to issue orders within
his jurisdiction in the name of the secretary
of war He is "boss" of the navy.
In bare room in the state, navy and war
building at Washington, in an office just
large enough to accommodate flat top desk
and few chairs, Admiral Benson works far
in the night after his helpers have gone
home. He undoubtedly has taken to the Sec
rotary of the navy the plans this nation will
follow should Germany force Us into war.
ANY plans followed would be submitted by
Benson to the secretary of war, who in turn
would carry them to the president for his
approval
And when the day comes, if it ever does,
Benson will give the word which will strip
10000 men into fighting trim and set the ma
chinery of our war dogs to grinding. All the
naval material resources of the country wy
be under his direction-naval reserves, the
yachts, power boats, provision houses, sup
ply houses, fighting vessels, munitions max
ers, taxpayers, banking houses, inventors, Ia
borers and marines
Is he the man to handle the job7 Said a
brother officer and former ship mate of Ad-
miral Benson, ENo matter what his personal
feeling for me might be, there is no officer IN
the navy whom 1 would fear more if were on
trial for an offense of which / was guilty, for
nothing would make him swerve from what
he conceived to be his duty"

Copernicus was born February 18th; also

Ida Lewis, "the Grace Darling of Amer

On the 26th the matchless Victor Hugo

The foregoing are but few of the great
names, but it is good to recall them now and
then. The mere mentionof these names is an
incentive to young people to bring out all OF
of the good within them for their own sakes
and for the sake Of their fellow men.
1t is but a brief journey here, but It holds
within its grasp the possibilities of creating
great names that will last as long as does
time.

THE MAN WHO WOULD DIRECT THE
u. S. NAVY IN CASE A WAR SHOULD ARISE
Admiral William Has
eUnted Is Now Facing.

Should war come, says the Kansas City
Star, the man on whose shoulders the safety
Of this nation would be is Admiral William
s. Benson. His hands would write out the
orders for the attack, and he and his advisers
would direct the movement of our fleet. Since
he was IL years old Admiral Benson has been
pairing for the emergency which the Unit
ed States is facing He is about So years old
now. And yet there is perhaps no public
figure in the United States about whom 80
little is known.
Admiral Benson is Georgian. He was the
next in rank to Admiral Dewey at the time
of the latter's recent death. He fought his
way to that position without influence. One
thing has brought him to the head of the
navy-unswerving devotion to duty.
His modesty and retiring disposition have
helped keep his face and light out of the
spotlight of publicity. There is little of
buster about him, such as assumed by some
men in military life. His personality is not
striking. His face is not that of fighting
man. But he has q strong honest face and in
his kindly, soft blue eyes there is sugges-
ton of confidence and vigor, and a calm
which would meet any emergency without
flinching. Those who have talked with him
say that Admiral Benson leaves the impress
sion that he would rather be a farmer leading
a pastoral life than anybody else.
In 1872 Admiral Benson was appointed to
the navel academy as midshipman from
Georgia He was one of the first southern
ers to enter the institution following the civ
il war; His first duty afloat was as Junior
officer of the old Hartford, then the flagship
of the south Atlantic fleet. He was with the
Hartford two years. Then he was transfer
red to the Essex of the same fleet. When he
was detached from that ship and ordered
home he already was considered an officer
of great executive ability and unusual judg-
ment.
For six months Benson was on duty in the
Brooklyn navy yard. He soon was ordered
to sea the second time and was on board the
Yanti when that ship made its historic expe-
dition for the relief of Major General Adolf
plus Washington Greedy, the polar region ex-
plorer. On the return of the relief expedl-
ton Benson, then captain, was again given
shore leave and was assigned to duty under
what was then known as the naval advisory
board. In 1883 he joined the despatch gun
boat, Dolphin, in those days the boat which
President Cleveland used when he wanted to
get away from the politicians, think out big
problems, or hunt ducks on the coast of Car
DINA.
After circling the globe on the Dolphin,
Benson was sent to the naval academy as an

sible endorsement of the above state-
ment and the wonderful batteries OF
light artillery which have been horsed
by animals OF splendid breeding pear
earnest testimony to the power OF this
strain for army work.
We may go further and say that the
cavalry horse both of France anu
England claims it's strength and ep-
durance largely from the animals Sc
lected either from racing stables III
Great Britain or France or from the
progenv of animals who in their day
have been raced. 1t is well known
that the Italian government and the
Austrian government in their wonder
full breeding farms for cavalry horses
have long recognized and availed OF
this fact. In our own country we
have failed to do it justice, partly be-
cause of the utility of the trottlng
horse and partly because we were a
nation without standing army Oh
any great numerical strength; but
this latter condition is changing and
we shall soon know and feel that the
government is seeking for the class
of horse of high quality, great endur-
ance and able to do prolonged service.
We fully believe that this will be
impressed upon the minds of horse
breeders throughout the land and that
! we shall have a constant improve
ment in the development of our stock
and we may look to some degree, at
all events, to the race horse for the
| selection of the best materials. Let
us therefore, encourage this industry
of horse breeding to the best of oul
ability, realizing that this is no time
to stop in the development of grea,

New Nozzles Used During Recent
Cold Snap Proved Eficacious
in Preventing Frost

Miami, Dec. ga new spraying
device intended to safeguard vege'
table crops against frost was given a
trial near Miami in the recent cold
nights, and was so successful in its
operation that it is attracting much
attention from truck growers in this
vicinity.
The new device is the invention of
Leonard Shaw of this city, who has
patented number of sprayers and
spraying systems. and is called the
"fog-maker." 1t consists of small
nozzle which is quickly substituted
for the regular spraying nozzle on
the pipes of an overhead irrigation
system, and which produces fine
mist which keeps the entire field COW
cred with an artificial fog and pre-
vents frost from gathering on the
plants.
An irrigated field of ten acres be-
longing to F. c.. Bush, located near
Cocoanut Grove, was recently equip
ped with the fog nozzles, and the
were used for the first time as a
frost preventive during the COLI
nights of two yeeks ago. Although
the thermometer dropped to 32 de.
grees in that locality, and crops ir
adjacent fields were injured by the
cold, Mr. Bush says that he did moi
lose plant in his field
Although the 2O-horse power en-
Sine used to operate, the. irrigation
system in Mr.. Bush's field furnishe.
only enough pressure to operat,
about third of the sprayers a. on,
time when equipped with the regula,
irrigating nozzles, the amount of wa
ter used by the fog.making nozzle
is so small that the entire ten-acri
! system was operated at one tim,
with the same engine and pumpin;
