NAVALEoM COSTS
US. ; BILLION
IN "a YEARS
(By Julian piciCcl

WASHINGTON When the cur
rent naval appropriation bill passed
Congress-, the United States will have
pcnt more than three billion dollars
ON its navy during the thrty-four
years ending with 1917. The exact
figures, including the year 1916, are
81, 1924 9502. The bill now before
Congress carries 1851 ,453, 245,07, max
ing grand total of $3,008. 777, $4,000.
Naval authorities denominate the
New" Navy, the construction pro
gram begun on a limited scale in 1888
with an appropriation of the moderate
sum of $16,920, 2S8S0, which was then
assailed as grossly extravagant.
In 1898, ten years later, the naval
appropriations amounted to but 500
625,6l5,06.
In 1903 the cost of the navy reached
1S4,993,G 9799
BY 1913 the naval officials persuad-
ed Congress that $142,7d4,l5727
should be appropriated for the first
line OF defense.
In 1918, the first year after the
European war broke out, $l5l ,033,-
20S.03 were appropriated.
In 1916, under the stress Of the cam
paign waged by the militarists Con-
yress jumped the public money spent
for naval war preparation to $3l8.-
12,207.77.
In 1917, if the bill now before Con-
gress passes as reported out, the APP
preparation will cost the people $751;
i53,245.07.

SOCIALIST SCHOOL
BOARDS WANTED
THE SUPREME NEED OF
AN EDUCATIONAL
STUMP FULLER

On Saturday, March 3, the second
and third class school districts will
elect new members to their respective
boards. From n Socialist educational
standpoint, school election is as i'm
portant as any other election. Some
day the Socialists will recognize that
fact fully.
What can "A Socialist school board
do? First, it can hire a Socialist
teacher to conduct tho school. A
teacher or educator rather with a
social vision and healthy philosophy
of life
Second, it can use the school for
social center purposes. A teacher and
board with tact and good judgment
can make the school an effective
means of intercommunication. The
school plant should be in use at all
times, Sunday as well as week days.
Numerous reasons could be given,
why a Socialist board is desirable.
ouiiiNt IL W nay, given AZ SoClhiIAed
school board and teacher with the
qualities of social leadership, wond-
COS can be accomplished for the corr
mon welfare. The farmer must first
blow out the stumps before he can
pillow. The field of education is full
of stumps. Therefore you need a
stump puller. The ordinary teacher
will not do. He plows around the
stumps. You must get a teacher who
has arrived, who has caught a
glimpse Of the social process, whose
heart beats in unison with the for
ward looking hosts Of the bgi change.

LECTURES APPRECIATED
IN EASTERN STATES

Readers of the Northwest Worker
Who have had the advantage of hear
ng Comradc Maynard Shipley's lee
ures "From Nebula to Man" will
doubtless be interested to know that
hey are berry metwith deep app7-e-
'iation wherever they have been
given in the East.
Since the closing of the Debs cam

IS assistant campaign manager, he
Vas filled dates in Ohio, Indiana, New

Judging from the generous COM

which come into the office of The
Northwest Worker, Comrade Shipley's
work as an instructor on the subject
of evolution by means of his incom-
parable pictures, is meeting with the
recognition it so richly deserves.

YES, WHY DISCRIMINATE

a fool paper in England, in all earn
estness, asks if its eminent artists,
poets and actors" should be forced to
respond to the call to the colors. If
any man is to be called, why not
these? To my mind an eminent" art
list isn't worth a whoop more to his
family than an eminent" coal miner
or an eminent" farmer is worth to
his family. As far as the nation is
concerned it were easier to do with
out the artist, the peot and the actor
than the coal miner, the farmer and
the homebuildcr.--M edern Woodman.

TWO LIVE ONES IN TOWN

Col. Harry D. Alfrey of Hope, who incidentally runs the Alfrey Heading Factory of that place, but who devotes most of his time and energies to making a success of the Hampstead County Union Fair, of which he is president, and Col. Lee Giles, secre- tary of the Fair, are in Prescott this afternoon, on business.
 These gentlemen are very desirous that Nevada county take a prominent part in this years exhibition. They point out that this is the best year and the best opportunity for a rous- ing big fair that this organization has ever seen, and they want Prescott and Nevada county to come to the Fair in force and show what this section can produce. Nevada won first prize at Hope year before last for the best county exhibit, and these officials are anxious to have this county go after that plum again.
 Another thing Col. Giles pointed out, was that Nevada county man, Mr. E. J. Watson of the P. & N. w. By, is general superintendent this year of the agricultural department of the Fair and this assures not only superb arrangement and exhibition of the products, but also guarantees that every exhibitor will be treated with the utmost fairness and consid- eration.
 In the matter of races, amusement, music and thrills, Col. Giles said that he had already signed up the most su- perb aggregation of merry-makers in the United States; clean and high class, and the horsemen were writing in from everywhere declaring that they would be on hand. Many of them mention the good treatment and prompt payment of purses at Hope, land state that they are glad to come back.

WILLIAMS BAILEY

The prettiest wedding in Prescott in a long time was witnessed by large number of the friends of the contract ing parties this morning at the Pres byterian church when MT. A. c. Will Hams led Miss Ethel Bailey to the altar. The beautiful weather and the charming manner in which the church was decorated in white and green, made the occasion especially note worthy. Mrs. Warren Cummings, a cousin of the bride, played the accom- paniment for Mir. Fred Powell, who sang At Dawning" in very impress sive manner. Later she played the wedding march. During an impress sive silence save for the low, sweet strains of music, Messrs. Guthrie, Cummings, Nelson and Hesterly walked down the aisle followed by little Thomas Leslie who bore the ring in the heart of flower. Next came Miss Angie Walton of Benton, maid of honor, who was dressed in a creation of green and white, with hat to match. She was accompanied by MT. Thos. Meador, as best man.
 Immediately following these were little Forrest Darlington and Jewel Colvin, who scattered rose petals in the bridal pathway, and immediately preceded the wedding party. The bride wore going-away gown of grey that suited her delicate blond loveliness, and with the man of her choice stood before pr. Williams, who with the impressive ring ceremony made them husband and wife.
 The out of town guests at the we'd ding were: Mrs. w. K. Williams of Winfield, La., mother of the groom; :; Mrs. E. P. Walsh, of Hot Springs; Miss Ire~e Gains of Lewisville, Mrs. M. C. Williams and Mrs. Sam Tribble of DeQueen, Mrs. c. D. McSwain and Mrs. Tom Garland of Emmet.
 The popularity of the young people was evidenced by the number of hand some wedding gifts that were be- slowed upon them. Immediately after the wedding Mir. and Mrs. Williams left for Dallas and other points for a short wedding trip. After their re- turn in two weeks they will be at home with Mr. and Mrs. M. H.

 They bought 100-acre farm from c. L. Green. The farm is an improved one and is located two and one-half miles from Prescott one route two.

PRESCOTT DEFEATS BIERNE

In one of the prettiest games of base ball ever seen in Prescott, the local Partners defeated the Bierne Badgers yesterday afternoon by the score of to 3.
 This is said to be the first defeat suffered by the Bierne team in two years, and to their credit it can be said that they put up good article of ball yesterday. However, when Pepper Litton is right you cant beat him, and yesterday was one of the days when he was right.
 The third-basing of Ralf Wylie and the short-stopping of Lonnie Me Milan were bright spots in the game, but the main feature was the hitting of Chas. Tompkins for the locals, he getting a double, and a home-run out of four times up, the home-run com ing with two men on bases, practical ly winning the game.
 The work of both the catchers, Shaver of Bierne and Gordon of Pres cott, was excellent; they both making several spectacular catches of high fowls, and cutting off many would-be base-stealers by perfect throws.
 The grounds were in very poor con- dition, owing to the heavy rain which fell just before the game was called. But nevertheless the game was full of pep and thrills and was very much enjoyed by the small crowd present.
