OUR NAVY PROGRAM
CONSTRUCTION OF AZ VESSELS
TO BE AUTHORIZED THIS
YEAR BY CONGRESS.
WHAT THREE-YEAR PLAN IS
Commission of Officers Now Recon-
mends Retention of All the Existing
Navy Yards and Establishment OF
Submarine Bases.
BY GEORGE CLINTON.

Washington Congress now has be-
fore it in the form OF the naval appro-
priation bill the recommendations for
the building program for the fiscal
year 1918. Secretary Daniels, IN rec
lommending the appropriations to be
made at this session, said he felt HIM
self bound by the act of congress Tx
ing the three-year program.
It is expected that congress this year
will authorize the construction of the
following vessels for the United States.
navy: Battleships, 3; battle cruisers
! ]; scout cruisers, 3; torpedo-boat de-
stroyers, 10; fleet submarines, 4 coast
submarines, IA: fleet submarine tender,
5; destroyer tender, /.
From inquiries which come TO the
navy department, it is evident that in
some parts of the country there is a
lack of definite knowledge concerning
the three-year naval building program
which was fixed by congress. Here

MOTHER! LOOK At
CH|LD'S TONGUE
If cross, feyerish, constipated,
give California Syrup
of FiQS."

A laxative today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Children simply will not
take the time from play to empty their
bowels, which become clogged up with
waste, liver gets sluggish; stomach
sour.
Look at the tongue, mother! 1t coat
ed, or your child is listless, cross, few
erish, breath bad, restless, doesn't eat
heartily, full of cold or has sore throat
or any other children's ailment, give a
teaspoonful Of california Syrup of
Figs then don't worry, because it is
perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. A thor
ough INSIDE cleansing is ofttimes all
that is necessary. 1t should be the
first treatment given in any sickness.
Beware Of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask at the store for 5O-cent bottle Of
"California Syrup of Figs" which has
full directions for babies, children of
all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv.

RECOGNIZED WORK OF BIRDS
Occasion When Growers Of Grain Re.
sponded to Appeal to Save Their
Friends From determination.

Three hundred million dollars
worth of the cotton crop was damaged
by the cotton boil weevil in the last
year and birds, especially quail, con-
slider such fare a treat and have
fondness for Kidding the farmer OF
the enemies of his crops. What the
good birds do in the destruction Of IN
sects injurious to mans interests is
little short of marvellous.
One. year at the headquarters Of the
National Audubon society a wire came
stating: ''Birds are dying in Kansas,
Nebraska and Missouri in great NUM-
bers-result of sleet and snow In
response to the wire 5000 worth OF
grain, seed and chaff was distributed,
together with grit, to the birds and
saved many of the insectivorous birds
and game birds. The postmaster gen
eral ordered the rural mail carriers
to distribute the feed free of charge.

EXCELLENT RETURNS
FROM The CANADIAN
WHEAT CROP
United States Settlers Becoming
Rich on Western Canada
Lands.

The large number of United States
settlers coming to the Western prov
inces of Canada are easily explained
by the case of Mr.. c.. Lacy, late of
Wisconsin and later Of Alberta.
Mr.. Lacy came to Canada from Wis
consin in the summer of 1914 with
81, 800 available cash III his possession.
He rented a half-section of partly i'm
proved land in Alberta and commenced
summer following. He broke 300 acres
with oats, 20 with barley, and 26O with
wheat. Also he had two cows and 20
head of young live stock. He was for
tunate in buying feed at bargain and
managed to rent the adjoining quarter
section as pasture.
A few weeks ago he decided to real
ize his profits-and they amounted to
$4,000 absolutely clear from the crop
and the stock.
w. j. Winstead, of Brooks, Alberta,
says:
81 landed in Brooks, March 18th,
1916, with one car of household effects,
and nine head of good horses, and less
than $500 in cash. have put $1,000
worth of improvements on my farm. /

horses, debts all paid, new automo-
bile, and a good, stiff bank account.
At present prices, ! can cash in for
$4,000 I am we'll satisfied, and ex-
pect to double this next year.
1 have threshed altogether 1000
bushels of No. i Northern wheat from
two hundred acres, which went from
q to Sc bushels per acre.
Seven thousand bushels of wheat, all
No. i Northern, two thousand bushels
of oats, $40 bushels of flax, 700 BUSH
els of barley-all at market prices
we'll, figure this out for yourself at the
market pNce. / sold 3,100 bushels Of
wheat at $1.747s, am holding the re-
mainder1 for $500. Also all the oats,

Intelligent farming pays always ac-
.cording to Alex. Waffle, a prosperous
farmer. Some figures to prove his con-
tention that he has made good"
In 1914 Mr.. Waffle threshed 40 bush
els to the acre from a 3O-acre crop.
This sold for $1e0a4 per bushel, which,
after deducting seed, labor, Irvine,
threshing and freight, left clear profit
of $50 per acre, or a total of $1,000.
From last years crop of "a acres, just
sold, he received after freight had been
deducted, 81, 1864 Advertisement.

1t is estimated that $1O,000,0O0
worth of the 1861 fur exports will
pass into the American channels be-
fore next June. The manufactured
product, of course, will more than
double these figures, for every one who
touches skin increases the profit
which the ultimate purchaser must
pay to the ancient industry. The cream
Of this new business centering in De-
troit, which is one of the big fur manu-
featuring points of the country, New
York. Chicago, Cincinnati, Philadel-
phia, st. Louis and other cities.

Sunk by Icebergs.

Admittedly the worst danger menac-
ing transatlantic travellers in modern
days, with steamers of such speed as
are plying on the Atlantic, is that of
collision with icebergs in dense fog.
1t is morally certain that the mystic
rious disappearance of big steamers
like the Naronic and the Huronian
in more recent years and of many
others previously, is attributable to
this cause. for no other agency is pow
erful enough to work the ruin of a
modern liner with her cellular bottom
and water-tight bulkheads.

Not Changed by the War.

Inc navy department, through LIS
officers, has been carefully studying
the occurrences of the European war
as they affect the types OF navy YES
sells. 1t is said that the study has not
yet brought TO the surface any facts
which should cause the department to
recommend any changes in the num-
bers or types of vessels as provided
for in the program.
For many years prior to the begin
ming of the present European war
there were recurring attempts to abol-
ish several of the navy yards of the
United States. 1t was urged that three
or four Of the yards were useless, that
they simply provided caretaking posi-
tons for political employees, and that
they were an expense to the govern
ment without any return Of real serv-
ice.
Now complete change has come
over the face of things. officers of the
navy believed that under old condi-
lions, and under conditions as they
seemed likely to be in the future, sew
Now, however, report has come from
a commission of naval officers recon-
mending the retention of all existing
navy wards and the establishment of
submarine bases on the Atlantic, Gulf
and Pacific coasts, and in addition to
thorough aeronautical survey Of the
coasts Of the United States and its
noncontiguous possessions be made in
order to determine definitely where
aeronautic bases and other sea-force
bases should be established.
The commission which has just re-
ported consists Of Rear Admiral ]. NJ
Helm, Chief Naval Constructor w. l..
Capps, Rear Admiral and Civil Engi-
neer in the Navy III. III. Rosseau, Capt.
G. w. McElroy and Commander G. L.
Hussey. This board has spent months
making inspections of the coast lines
of the United States. 1t will do more
travelling and further Investigating be-
fore a complete report can be made.
All Navy Yards Needed.
The board says this on the subject
of the adjustment of some of the
yards:
1T is unnecessary, undesirable and
indefensible to abolish at this time any
existing navy yard or navy station
within the continental limits of the
United States. Full consideration of
the present and prospective size of our
navy, its requirements, not only in
peace but during the far more exact
ing conditions of war, should bring con-
vincing evidence that the adjustment
at this time of an existing navy yard
or navy station within the continental
limits of the United States would be
quite without Justification
No Leak on Crop Estimates.
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
Carl Vrooman says there is one
place in the government service
that is absolutely leak" proof. Mr..
Vrooman does not intimate nor in
tend to intimate that other places are
not leak proof, but he says that there
is no possibility of a connection be-
tween Wall street and the bureau of
crop estimates which supplies periodi-
cal estimates of the production Of the

These hearts of ours are never un-

to plant the seeds in our garden as
usual they would bear crop just
the same. The weeds are always ready
to seize hold Of every square inch OF

SHIFTING OF TRADE.
Coral Carving Business Moved From
Italy to Japan.

The shifting OF coralcarving from
Italy to Japan is noted as one OF the
wars effects Since the practical eH-
haustion of the long famous Medl-
terranean coral beds, the Italians
have kept alive their carving indus
try by importing half OF the Japanese
crude coral, but the late difficulties
of TRANSFORMATION have left the Japa-
nese with their raw material on their
hands. Being already skilled carVers
in ivory and wood, as we'll as superior
makers Of coral beads, they have
found it necessary only to learn what
forms of finished coral the world S
markets require. Vice Consul H. B.
Hitchcock reports that the marine ex-
pertinent stations have undertaken
the special training of artisans in the
carving of coral for sale in Europe
and America, and in this way it is
hoped the value of the coral exports
ludI US luCl edSeu liOHl p'oV'oo" w
s35, 100000 year. New coral beds
of exceptional value in the Goto dis
trict of Nagasaki Prefecture are the
most important sources of material,
other producing provinces being To-
sa. Satsuma, and MiyaZaki. The to-
tai annual take by the divers is about
$1,000 pounds valued at 100000.
The value depends much upon color,
the most expensive being "boki.' a
pale ounce, with pink ranking next,
and white, light red and dark red fol-
lowing. Single beads of the choicest
color, suitable for ornamental hat
pins, sell for $40 to $50 each.

can ship in ten.
In addition to this, if American
ships were armed, they would be
much less liable to attack by sub
marines, which can easily be sunk Dy
shells from a four inch and even a
three inch gun.
1t is regarded as much more prob
able that the United States would
lend her economic forces to the al
lies as the best means to defeat Ger
many. All the forces of the govern
ment could be mustered to aid III
sending vast quantities of munitions
of war to the allies which would re-
l;eve much of the strain on the allied
manufacturers.

e.: na.ion On earth. also col!d re eX-

This seems to be the course the
United States would pursue in the
event OF war with Germany. and all
students of the war are agreed that
this course would be the most effect
i've that could be pursued.
Germany is hopeful, it is known,
that the United States will divert the
immense quantities of munitions now
being manufactured for the allies to
her own uses and thereby greatly
cripple the allies. However, it is be-
lieved the United States and the al
lied officials have enough foresight
to provide against such a situation
as this and not fall into a cleverly
concocted trap Of the Germans in
their last desperate attempt to win
the war.
