BAKER WILL TAkE COUNTRY MORE IN
 HIS CONFIDENCE
War Secretary to Disclose War Preparation Facts
 Before Senate.
(By Associated Press.)


 Washington, Jan. 26.-Secretafy Baker, when he appears before the senate military committee to make the administration reply to Senator ,Chamberlain's speech on war depart ment shortcomings, plans to take the country more fully into the confidence of the government as to war prep Iarations, both at home and in France. MT. Baker said today he would amplify his previous statement before the com- mittee as to preparations. He con- ferred with many officials and spent short time at the white house. The secretary said he would not prepare a statement in advance, but would speak from notes and figures he has at hand. While final plans were be- l ing made today for MT. Bakers ap- pearance Monday, further disclosure of army conditions was smade public in additional published reports of secret testimony at the senate com- mittees war inquiry. Documents passing between Quartermaster Gen eral Sharpe and his superiors said that owing to the army clothing short age General Pershing had been au- thorized in December to purchase 100000 uniforms in England and 2O0,- 900 blankets in Spain. Other docu- ments in Spain disclosed that when the United States entered the war 1t was not planned to send any troops to Europe until next March.

Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built house, must have tradition behind them writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yas Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rea soil left by dead centuries; they as like native trees that grow so well 10 where else. The little writers-'hacE who sentimenta!ize to the latest ordet and display their plot novelties lH bargains on an advertising page-aH just as traditional. The only dlAer !, ence is that their tradition goes oaa fo books instead of life. Midde'sM authors-the very good and the pfof ably enduring--are successful IaFse4 because they have gripped tradlau and followed it through to con'sp porary life. That is what Thackss ,ns
 did in "Vanity Tair," Howells in TIN Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. "asr n, ton ill "The House of Mirth. Ou back-tonature boolls--bcth souhd ols' t and those shameless exposures ol '. private emotions of ground-EosS an. @ turtles that call themselves 9a'us n books-are the most traditional ol sa 'a For they plunge directly m1o s.s M. might be called the adventures ol 'N

Origin of Moon in Doubt.

Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced, but all seem to present some difficulties Our satellite furnishes us many un, solved problems. A belief in the meteoric origin of the moon is now quite general. According to :.1is be, lief the earth was surrounded in the early stages of its existence by a ring of Meteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered into one mass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence oe the bombardment it received from me teoric masses within the ring. Accord ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been dead world, a cold and lifeless mass of meteoric rock. It has never felt the pulse of life or under. gone the mighty changes that have passed over its ruling planet. It has remained cold and silent witness to vast evolutionary processes going on upon neighboring world such as tt could never experience for it. self.

JANUARY IS ARRESTED!
Not the Month. However, but Strap ing Big Son of Ham, Vino Plays
 With Wife in Peculiar Manner.

Henry January is not the weather man! He is chOcoiate-cOlOred Ethiopian. who has a strange way of playing with his better-half. For this reason he spent last night in the city jail and it was in truth a Jan uary night at police headquarters.
 January insisted upon playfully walloping his wife over the head last night with slender scantling of the "2x4" type, and when that failed. 70 convince her that his play was really in earnest he took off his leather belt and proceeded to give her a dose of harness oil" When his wife re. gained consciousness she called the police and Chief King gave January the surprise of his life when he es- corted him to the "calabOose.' Jan uary hasn't fully recovered from the shock and still maintains that he was "only playing" with his wife.

Grant Man is 100 Per Cent
 Pure Patriot
Oscar s. Pomeroy Resigns Pension of SPA a Month
 to Enlist.

Oscar s. Pemroy of Grant county is 100 per cent pure patriot. He proved this when he proposed to surrender a pension of SPA month that he might enlist in the forces of the United States for service during the present war.
 Mr. Pemroy. who is as modest as he is patriotic, begged that nothing be said about it." declaring that he was was not "doing any more than any other of the boys," and he did not care even to be put in the light of playing hero-cause Pm not doing a bit more than the other boys," he said. But the story is too good to re- main out of print.
 Sergeant Pemroy, that was his title in the Spanish American war, in which he served as a member of F. company, 38th regiment, U. s. Volunteers, was granted pension of SPA month be- cause of permanent effects of illness suffered in the service. Since doffing the uniform he has been playing the part of a good citizen of Grant coun- ty, and probably would have been content to continue at peaceful pur- suits had not the kaiser aroused the ire of Uncle Sam. Segeant Pemroy wrote to the commissioner of pen sions, requesting to be dropped from the role that he might enlist. The commissioner commended the ser geant's patriotism, and suggested that should Pemroy be rejected to notify the commissioner immediately that his pension might be restored.
 Pemroy's next step was to execute to Adjutant General Lloyd England 8 trust deed to property, that taxes and repairs may be kept up. "Td trust Lloyd England with my life," said Pemroy. And then he rendered his services to Uncle Sam. He is now awaiting decision of the department as to his physical fitness.
 Pemroy might have succeeded in surrendering pension and enlisting without many having knowledge of this act of patriotism but for meet ing here Friday with Court Steno- grapher H. L. Sternberg, who also saw service in the spanish-American war. Mir. Sternberg tipped" a newspaper man off to the story of this 100 per cent pure patriot.

Saving the Eyes.

The eyes were made to use withoat a doubt. So were the hands and feet, and all can be abused and become sources of pain forever. A lifetime of just ordinary vision, just seeing what goes oa about us, is about all we can expect from pair of normal eyes. Added strain like fine sewing, too much reading and poor light will use them up so much sooner. Wage'cnrn' CTS bave to sacrifice many things, in, cludlng eyes. but for absolute waste of vision there is no excuse.

Hard to Think of Words.

Inability to choose the right word oftcn places a speaker in an embar. rass!ns position. Many business men lose much valuable time because they md it diii'cult to express what they want to say when they dictate their correspondence.
