1000 SHIPS IN
NAVY BY 1877
PRESENT PLAN
Americas Fighting Armada
to Be Second to British
Before January.

Washington, July 30.-Before jan
uary 1 the United States will have
1000 ships armed, manned and equip
ped for every emergency, making the
American navy second only to the
great British fleet. According to the
authorities from whom these figures
were obtained, this takes into consid-
Grafton the huge building program
credited to the German Admiralty.
/ And that which is true of the ships
is declared to be true Of the sailors.
No finer men have ever served un-
ded the flag af1oat than those now
comprising the grand feet is the
comment Of admiral Mayo, comman-
der of all the sea forces.
OF this armada, 425 are vessels Of
war in full commission. The remain
der is comprised, of ships acquired,
built% and being built as auxiiiaries
and submarine chasers. Included are
many private yachts and merchant
men.
1t is forbidden to give details, but
1t can he stated that there are more
than forty batt1eships of the first class
which could go into action on an
hours notice.
The last official, confidential reports
received lin Washington credited Great
Britain with having 90 battleships Of
the type named and Germany only &c.
To the vessels of the first class have
been added all the battleships of the
pre-dreadnought class. The old ships
which did valuable service in the
Spanish war, are now wearing the
grim gray paint Of the new navy.
Among these are the Oregon and her
sister ships.
The navy list shows that every ship
which could be utilized as a war YES
sci has been placed in commission
we'll manned and loaded with stores
and munitions OF war. Even the old
monitors are included and are said to
be as Spick and span as the towering
ldreadnoughts.
Navy experts assert that by observ-
ing the war clouds as they approached
through confidential reports to the
State Department, new construction
and the restoration OF old ships was
FASTENED long before the public knew
what was going on.
| A great drive has been made on the
construction of new torpedo destroy
ers and submarines. Tt is understood
100 of both these classes will be added
within 60 days to the list as it existed
three months ago.
! It was stated officially that the
United States expects to have 900 de-
stroyers and fully armed auxiiaries
working in cooperation with the
British sea forces by next April. With
this fleet will ge mine sweepers and
every available fydroplane that can

Unhappy in Friendshjp.

Many people expect too much from their friends. They may themselves be so thoroughly genuine and sincere that they expect all their friends to be the same, and when they discover little faults in their idols they feel the disappointment most acutely. Do not pitch your standards too hign. hen you are less likely to have your idol shattered Try to remember that friends will never disappoint us if we observe two simple rules: CD to find out what they are; c to expect them to be just that.

MAKING EFFORT 10
 AVOID FOOD WASTE

The big planters of the Scott nelgh borhood. near Little Rock who long have been recognized as the most up to-date body of farmers in Arkansas, anl also the most prosperous, are go- ing to raise more food and feed stuffS than ever before, and they are making concerted effort to avoid waste.
 It is not necessity that compeis them to do this. for all of them are financially able to buy practically any thing they want But it is their idea that by avoiding waste they can do their bit" toward making more food available for shipment to the Allies in Europe
 The idea first was suggested by H. C. Brown. secretary of the Scott Got- ton Growers Association and one of the most enthusiastic members of the Arkansas Profitable Farming Bureau of the Little Rock Board of Commerce. Mir. Brown is practicing what he breaches, for he has installed in his home a corn grinder Instead of buy ing four. he buys wheat and makes it into flour with his corn grinder. He uses less wheat and saves four dollars a barrel, and he says that the whole wheat bread is much more paltable than that made from the ordinary commercial flour He intends to stick to whole wheat four, war or no war.
 MT. Brown outlined his ideas at meeting of the wives and daughters of the Scott planters, and they have entered enthusiastically into the cam paign to eliminate waste. They have held meetings with Mrs Houston Gean, teacher of domestic science in the Scott school, and she has suggest ed many ways of saving.
 Also MT Brown has suggested to the planters that they talk te the ne groes on their plantations and urge them to avoid waste. For one thing. he said, that most negro tenants have more dogs than they need, and that if the surplus dogs were killed, some saving would be made. He said that many negro tenants keep horse just to drive around on Sundays, animals that are not really needed for work He suggested that such animals could be sold 10 persons who really need them, and to whom the cost of feed ing would not be an unnecessary ex. pense.
 Too much cannot be said on the subject of raising more feed and food" says MT Brown However we feel that the conservation side of the question has been overlooked, and We feel that if properly investigated and handled, just as much good can be done as by the production of more food crops. It is very hard for people who always have had plenty to believe that in a few months the necessities of life may be scarce and hard 10 get But remember that the people of Eu- rope are living on half rations to none at all. and we must feed them or they will starye This war may last only q. especially if Russia should make separate peace.
 There are many ways by which each of us can cut down our living ex- penses. the amount of what we eat. and the value of what We eat. and while we may be able to buy all we want, We should remember that the food that We can do without and thus save, leaves that much to help some one who needs it.

There is no occasion for food panic in this country nor any justifica- ton for outrageous prices unless the opposition of special interests defeats the president in obtaining the neees- sary power to control the nations food fully and adequately" he said, Ameri- ca's problem Is not one of famine, for we have now and will have next year a large surplus.
 Our problem Is. after the proper protection of our own people. to give to our allies the last ounce of surplus of which we are capable"

MUST HAVE FOOD CONTROL

 Ing Food Conditions.

New York. .AHerbert c. Hoover, who recently came from Europe to advise the government on food conditions in Europe, says that without control we may see flour at S20 barrel before the year is over, but that with con- trol "the present price of flour can be reduced 40 to 50 per cent.
