A VERY distinguished party OF English
men arrived in Washington on Sunday
last-war commissioners who have come
here to confer with President Wilson and
other officials Of our government in regard
to the part the United States shall play in
the great struggle which our country has
entered and in which she will fight side
by side with The Allies against Germany
The visitors from Great Britain are head
ed by one OF England's most famous
statesmen, Arthur James Balfour, Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs, and among
them are distinguished navy and army
experts. These representatives OF the
British government have come TO this
country TO discuss the methods by which
the United States may render most ef-
ficient service in the world war, and to
learn something OF the resources which
will be available from this side OF the
water Financial aid to the European
nations, food supplies and munitions Of
war, methods OF transporting to England
and France the articles they need so
badly, the use OF our army ard navy, are
some OF the matters of vast importance
that are 10 be considered.
The distinguished visitors came from
England on a fast ship and successfully
lodged German submarines that lurked
in the sea-lanes, finally reaching a port
in Canada from which they came by rail
TO Washington. They were most cordial
ly welcomed at the national capital, and
are already engaged in conferences which
are Of great importance. Another party
OF British officials are expected in a few
days.
Tuesday the French delegation arrived
from Paris, landing at Norfolk, Va, from
which place they proceeded to Washing
ton on the Presidents yacht. The
Frenchmen received an even more en-
thuSiastic welcome than the English.
General Joffre, the hero Of the battle Of
the Marine, when the Germans were de-
feated in their attempt to take Paris, is
among the distinguished Frenchmen who
have come here to confer with the Ameri-
can and British leaders.
When all the notable foreign officials
shall have arrived Washington will be the
scene OF perhaps the most important dis
cusSions and councils the world has ever
known.

NEW WORDS HIS SPECIALITY
Eastern Newspaper Man Has an Oc-
cupatlon That Is Unique as Well
as Profitable.

There are In the world many I'M
usual and unique occupations, but per-
haps the strangest Of all which pays
q good income is that of a New York
newspaper man, who earns, in addi-
ton to his regular salary from the pa
per, rather regular amounts from
the publishers of dictionaries, ency-
clopedias and other such volumes. His
occupation Is the inventing of new
words.
The casual observer would be in
clined to remark that the English Ian
guage already possesses enough words
for all uses, without the invention of
any new ones and probably his state
ment would be a fact. Nevertheless
it is true that this man is paid sub
stantlal sums for inventing new words
to fit special phases, situations, occu-
pations and occurrences, and that the
publishers of dictionaries will incor-
porate into them any new word based
on substantial derivatives, for the ex-
istence of which plausible reason can
be made.
The progress of modern business
and especially the discoveries that
have been made in the fields of cleo
tricity and medicine in the last decade
have been responsible for the incor-
poration into the language of many
new words.

What Thrift Can Do.

Two items which recently appeared
in the daily news dispatches help to
illustrate the possibilities OF gaining
financial Independence through persis
tent habits of thrift. One tod of the
death OF mail carrier who, although
his salary never exceeded $1,000
year, managed to accumulate tidy
little fortune OF 100000. The other
referred to the case Of street car
conductor, who passed away leaving an
estate even larger than that OF the
postoffice employe.
Neither of these men, 1t Is explained,
gained his wealth through requests oil
deceased relatives, nor did so-called
"luck" have anything to do with It,
They simply followed habits OF thrift
and persistent saying, living on some
thing less than their incomes and
steadily adding to the fund that had
been put away for the proveroially
rainy day OF course, 1T does not fol-
low that the fortunes left by these
represented only their savings, for it
would be quite impossible for anyone
to actually save 100000 from an an
nual income of only 81 200. But both
these men got their start by saving,
and when opportunity for profitable in
yestment came TO them they were pre-
pared to take advantage of such oppor-
tunlty.
1t possibly is true that not every
man or woman in similar circumstan'
ces could hope to win such an over
flowing measure of success, but by
strictly following the principles OF
thrift many more could be assured Of
results OF a gratifying nature. The
point to be considered is that because
man has relatively small earning
capacity he need not consider himself
doomed to poverty for the rest OF his
life. But to get the start toward indie
pendence it is absolutely necessary to
cultivate habits of thrift and economy,
thus to be prepared for opportunity
when it does appear as 1t always does
to those who have the wisdom to see it
and the courage to take advantage OF it..
Many similar Testimonials to the
magic OF thrift appear from time to
time in the news columns. The pity is
that they are not more often utilized
to the profit OF those who need to save.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY /, 1911

The number of people engaged in the
pursuit Of agriculture has greatly In
creased in the past three decades, but
in nowhere near the proportion in
which the value OF farm products in
this country has increased. In 1889
the aggregate value Of farm products
in the United States was less than
81, 500, 100000. 1t nearly doubled in
the next ten years and had reached
s., SOC, 10000 by 1909, while last year
the figures were about Sl3,5000,0OO.
That is mighty good showing for the
agricultural interests OF this country
and indicates that the American far
mer is prospecting relatively as much,
at least, as any other class Of citizens.
About $500 is being realized today for
every dollar that was dug up out OF the
farm thirty years ago, while the cost
of production has also increased lot,
the margin for the average farmer at
the end of the season is good deal larg-
er than it was generation ago. Never
in the history Of the country has agri-
culture as paying business been so
attractive as at the present time, but
it requires as much brains and good
deal more hard work ane patient persls-
tence to succeed in farming as it does
TO succeed in any other calling.

HOUSE THAT WAS DIFFERENT
Actress Who "Rose From Ranks"
Earned the Bungalow She Built
for Her Mother.

The carpenters and masons were at
work, and under their quick, skillful
hands lumber and stone became a
house. Passersby saw in the structure
only dwelling place, an attractive
little bungalow, to be sure, but no diff
ferent from thousands of other struc-
lures of its kind. Then one day an
old woman, her fine cloak contrasting
strangely with her tired face and her
toil-worn hands, came to note the prog
ress of the artisans.
With her was young woman, and
everyone who saw her said that her
face was so familiar. Who was she2
Hadn't her picture often appeared in
newspapers and magazines? Finally
someone remembered and told some
one else about it. The girl was one
of number of children. Her parents
were poor. She went to work for a
pittance while she was still a child.
1t was evident that she had dramatic
ability, and one day she was given a
chance to show what she could do.
She made her dreams come true. She
rose in her profession. Her ability
was recognized and rewarded. And
then the first thing she did was to
build for her mother a comfortable
home. She admitted that she was in
ordlnately proud of the house, and
everyone declared that she had every
right to be. And they all looked at the
house with new understanding, realiz-
ing that it was more than an "attrac-
tive bungalow, but no different from
others of it's kind."-Milwaukee Jour-
nal.

National Guardsmen, who have been
the butt Of a great deal Of harsh and
unmerited criticism at the hands OF
officers Of the regular army and citi.
zens who seek to promote the univer-
sal military service system, have de-
fender in the person of President Will
son. The president rebuked delega
tion Of the Maryland league for Ma
tional Defense, the other day, for their
''unrtstrained language" in memor'
ial which spoke Of the National Guard
system as a disgrace" and "fail-
ure.
The President, while condemning
such disparaging and off-hand state
ments concerning branch Of the ser
vice which has just discharged honorab
ly, and in the main efficiently, an ar
duous duty on the boroer, has not made
up his mind in opposition to universe
military. training. He told the repre-
sentatives OF the League for Natlona
Defense that the entire subject was
receiving his consideration and he de-
Tended the efforts being made in Con
gress to build up proper military ser
vice. What the President objects tc
is the effort TO cast aspersions upon
National Guardsmen, whose faithful
service OF their country certainly has
not merited such treatment. Mr.. VIII
son's attitude will commend itself not
only to the members Of the National
Guard but to citizens generally who
like fair play.
