BY PAUL PURMAN

The high cost; OF gunpoWder,
bird shot and other implements OF
war will cut down the entries in
the grand American trapshootlng
handicap, to be held at the South
Shore Country Club, Chicago, the
week of August 20, but even high
costs will not keep the more ar
dent trap shots out Of the meet.
But although there will be
fewer shooters at the meet more
money will go up in smoke over
Lake Michigan than ever before
in an American trap shoot.
Shells are about IS per cent
higher than last year and last year
they were more expensive than
they had ever been before. ~.

Farmer Wants His Share

OWATONNA, Minn., April 7.- "The farmer is not getting his proper share of the high price of foodstuffs. y said George Brush of Owatonna, master of the Minnesota Grange. in response to an inquiry from repre- sentative of the Christian Science Montir. Tt is costing us far more to live, proportionately, than it is the city man. Labor is higher. we have. to feed our laborers, prices of cattle feed are almost prohibitive, machinery and tools are greatly advanced. There is great disparity between prices paid on the farm and those paid by the consumer. This, I believe. is due to lack of business methods among merchants. lack of education by the public on food, too great demand for small quantities and for package goods, which are forced on the con- sumer and the producer by the whole sailing and retail trade"

REFUSED ENDORSEMENT.

At meeting of the Democratic Central Committee at Juneau Thurs day night the members refused to en- iorse Government Strong and Sur veyor- General Davidson for reap pointment. Governor Strong has in- cured the wrath of the Democrats by displaying strong Republican senti- ments, and they are out after his scalp. Davidson. according to all re- ports. has antagonized the Democrats on every possible occasion since he took office, so that he has not even the endorsation of his own division
 Wm. Whittelsey, Judge Jennings, John w. Troy and E. w. Griffin were named by the Committee as probable candidates for the gubernatorial seat. All are strong men and have the back ing of their respective divisions. as mas also Judge Bunnell of Fairbanks, another aspirant for the honor. The Committee left the matter of choice of candidate for governor from these sterling Democrats to the Ma tional Committeeman. and it is be- l:eved that he cannot help picking a man satisfactory to the majority of he party, as all are capable and eff cient men.
 As to the candidacy of Mir. Sohmers for surveyor general, he has the unan- imous support of the Fourth Division Democrats, and, so far as is known. is the only candidate prominently mentioned for the position.

 Has any one heard of a finer. more beautiful way of showing mans love for his dead? The things he had wanted to do, it was too late to do now.

He made his love for his dead a power to gladden. the liv- ing. He laid tribute on grief and made it a blessing. It is not a sad story: We need not pity him. But We cannot help loving him.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

AN EFFORT is being made to re- peal law in Nebraska which re- quires the teaching of German in the public schools. Although the animus behind the movement is not disclosed, apparently it is due to the foreign sit uation. If that is the case the oppo- sition is unwarrantedly foolish. The German language is the language of one of the most advanced nations in the world. While we do not consider it as good as English for everyday needs it's charm as a language lies in the fact that it is the tongue of Schiller, Goethe, and scores of others who stand high in the world of litera- ture and the arts and sciences. There is every reason for the teaching of German in the schools and none against It. Next to Latin and United States tt is one of the most advanced languages known to science.

AS A NATION we rather preen ou

AS A NATION we rather preen our selves on our generosity toward Bel gium. But the truth is report re- gently issued by the relief commits sion shows that the United States has contributed total of $9,9S0,602 to Belgian relief, which is slightly less than four per cent of the $250,OOO,- 900 which has been sent by the relief commission to Belgium and Northern France. France and England have furnished nearly all the money for the support of the suffering in Belgium. Out greatest credit has come merely from the fact that a few Americans with an exceptional ability for organi- zation and administration have dis tributed the funds and relief sup plies donated mostly by other nations. In other words our we'll advertised generosity has been mostly vicarious.

There were six German destroyers, ac-

In the meantime, the Broke had
launched a torpedo at the second boat

then opened fire with every possible
,gun. The remaining German boats
were stocking furiously for full speed.
The Broke's commander swung
round to port and rammed the third
boat square abreast the after funnel.
Locked together thus, the two boats
fought a desperate hand to hand con-
flict. The Broke swept the enemy's
decks at point blank range with every
gun from main armament to pompom,

crews were reduced from IS to men.

German was promptly bayonetted by
