Loquacious France,

W
The Frenchhan feels compelled to
express his thoughts, to make 1t OH
jective, to communicate it. Thought
means little to Frenchman unless
he writes 1t or speaks 1t. We are q
people who, when we have something
to say, insist upon saying 1t. Some
times we are accused Of not even wait
ing until we have something to say!
We are often called loquaci6us. Fossil
bly, we are. But I am not; sure that
we should resent the criticism. Athens
was loquacious. But compare her
winged words with the heavy laconics
Of Sparta and ask yourself, to which
Of the two the world is most indebted.

Chinese Make Milk From Beans.

The threatened shortage of milk
might not look SO serious if the Chi
nese method of making bean milk
were established in this country. The
beans are soaked for some time and
then crushed between stones. The
crushed pulp is strained through Il
cloth, diluted with water and boiled. 1t
is strained again after boiling and then
bottled ready for use. This product
looks like fresh milk and has a decid-
edly pleasant taste. Chemical analysis
shows it's percentage of fat to be equal
to good cows milk. In China it is
produced at low cost; so cents a month
will buy pint day. A special yell
low bean is used for this purpose. Ex-
periments looking toward their intro
duction into this country have already
been begun by the department of agri-
culture.

SHIPS COMMAND HIGH PRICES
Rise in Values of All Kinds of Steam
ers Since Outbreak of War Has
Been Enormous.

Extraordinary figures have recently
been fetched by steamers, especially
smaller and older steamers, that the
admiralty does not cOvet for it's own
use, states the London Economist. For
instance, a small steamer of $50 tons
gross, built in 1904, and suitable only
for the cOasting and continental trade,
changed hands a short time back at
$4,000, the price working out at
more than f4O ton gross and f1OO
ton net. In peace times, if she had sold
for f12 ton she would have made a
good enough bargain for her owners,
so that the rise in her value is quite
fantastic. Under such conditions own
ers are naturally tempted to sell their
property and keep the money by them
to be invested in shipping when prices
fall. So long as the ships are not sold
out of the country no objection can be
taken, and it is significant that the big
fleet of the London & Northern COM
pany was recently sold outright at a
price that gave the shareholders a pre-
MUM of $50 per cent on their holdings,
and left enough over to compensate the
managers to the extent of f250,OO0.

The Ideal Climate.

F. d. Hasten of La Grande,
Ore. arrived in Parker last week
and will remain here some time
for the benefit of his health.
Mr.. Hasten was sufferer from
bronchial asthma, and came
south short time ago, upon the
the advice of his physicians,
seeking a more congenial climate.
At Los Angeles he found a vast
improvement in climatic condi-
tions, but still not all that could
be desired in his case. and it was
not until he reached Parker's S
dry atmosphere that he found
the ideal climate-just what he
was looking for. A couple of
days spent in this salubrious at
mosphere and his ailment had
vanished like dew before the
morning sun. In view of the
fact that he was almost at the
point of death when he came
south, his pleasure at the sudden
relief may be easily imagined.
Mr.. Hasten will leave in a short
time to look after his business
affairs and at the same time
make arrangements with a view
to taking up his residence per-
manently in Parker.

ALL PREPARE FOR WINTER
In the Fall Both Man and Beast Go
Forth in Search of Cold Weather
Necessities.

Falling leaves, deepening color in
the woods and darkening evenings give
notice of the preparations of Mother
Nature for her winters rest and recupe-
ration, says writer in the Port An
geleS Herald. The fruits of her sum-
mer labOrs are ripening in the trees,
or gathered already into the store
houses. FreShening winds are COM
ing in from the ocean through narrow
straits; the air is chilly when the sun
lies low and bears the scent of au-
tunnal rains; f1urries of snow sweep
the mountain ranges. The wild crea-
lures are seeking snug quarters and
laying in their provisions for the win
ter seasons.
The men go hunting. Not one in
ten ever thinks of the reason. He does
not philosophize on the fact that he
is following the custom of the ages,
when he takes his weapons in the fall
and seeks game in the forest. With
him it is sport, but with his ancestors
it was duty. They knew that if they
failed of good fortune in the chase
their families would go hungry in the
winter. New skins were needed for
protection against the cold weather ;
meats had to be obtained and placed,
dried, in primitive storage. The ami
mails knew all about it then, and still
realize the danger of the season. Birds
and beasts of the eatable sort grow
shy when the lengthening nights and
shortening days herald the coming OF
winter! But the beasts of prey, like
the men, are out hunting. They also
need their stores, and in order to get
them their muscles grow taut, their
claws sharp and their coats very clean
and glossy, so that the creatures they
hunt may have difficulty in scenting
their approach.

OiI-Rurnina Enaines Efficient.

An English naval architect in re-
cent study of applying oil engines for
the propulsion of Warships states that
in the case Of a battleship he found
that with an equal number of shafts,
equal power and speed can be OBJ
tanned with double-acting two-cycle en-
gines as with steam, auxiliaries being
included in each case, and the machin-
cry weight being equal, says the Sci
entifc American. IIe found that the
radius Of action could be increased at
full speed at least three times and at
cruising speeds at Least four times.

ignated, the application to actually
make the entry will be allowed. Of
course, if thed apartment should hold
that the particular tract OF land
sought to beentered under this pro-
cedure is not stock-raising land, no

tive entryman, and his application
will be rejected. No improvements
should be made ON the alnd until aft

sure that the land lis not already ap-
propriated by settelr until after he

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for the United States NAVY

To the American People:
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting to over $3, ,OO0, 900
to British bidder for IA and l6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
Weknow nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
hc is entitled to know the facts upon
which we ourselves bid for this work
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 1900 l4-inch shells at a
price of ST. ,5I5, 200. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al
though we have expended, in
wages, materials, ETC., on these
orders 1922, 1881, and we have not
received SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition literal Interpretation Of
the contract might make liable for
penalties amounting to $678,0l6.
In the light of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for l6-inch
shells approximately the same rate per
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.

IL chairman. has decided to organize
recreational activities in all of the mil
itary training camps. including the Of
hoers' camps. In each camp one or
moro mon will be placed to have gen
oral supervision. to form committees
among the recruits and officers them
selves, organize athletic contests. etc.
to do coaching and in every possible
way provide for wholesome use Of such
leisure time as the men in camp may
have.
Conditions vary so widely in the
camps that no definite program Is out
lined by the commission. In some
places winter sports. at least on a lin
tied scale, will be possible: in some of
the southern camps swimming will be
a feature, and in each case the field
space available will have something to
do with determining the activities.
The policy everywhere. however. will
be to encourage general participation

"The surest and quickest way" he
added 'of arriving at the realization OF
this reform-that is of aoolishing the
last vestige of feudal social contract
and substituting for 1t modern demo-
cratic thought and institutions-is to
divorce the issue unequivably from
any connection whatsoever with our
foreign policy. This political reform
should be dictated primarily and solely
by conditions growing out Of our inter-

Task simplihed by Ru1.
Prof. Delbrueck believes that the
position OF Germany has been simplified
by the Russian revolution.

Germany felt herself seriously men
aced by the Russian army which Is al
