NAMING OF WARsHIPs.

The law requires that all first-class battleshp.
"shall be named for states and shall not be named
for any city, place, or person until the names OF
the states have been exhausted" and a recent
article by Walter Scott Meriwether in the Rude
der points out that Secretary Daniels recent or
der assigning the names of New Mexico, Califor
MIA, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Idaho to the five
superdreadnaughts now under construction COM
pletely exhausts the list Of unused names. In
selecting names for the five battle cruisers au-
thorized by the last congress, recourse was had
to names which never should have disappeared
from the navy register-COnstitutiOn C0nstella-
ton, Saratoga, Ranger and Lexington. The fa-
nous old frigates Constitution and Constellation,
now preserved relics Of the wooden fleets Of
q century ago, will be known as "Old Constitution"
and "Old Constellation" The present Saratoga
was formerly the New York, the armored cruiser
which served as Admiral SIMPSONS flag ship.

the propeller and 100 cartridges for each gun.
Returning now to the bombing machines the
types best known are the German Gotha, which
is virtually copy Of the British Handey-Palmer'
and the Italian Caproni. The dimensions Of the
latter cannot be given, for the machines are In
several Sizes the smaller being biplanes, the
largest being triplane. Those Of the Gotha u
III are known. 1t is biplane with wing spread
of TIT feet and fuseage 4038 feet long; it can 60
96.8 miles IN nour, ascend 1850 feet and carry
load of 1920 pounds Of bombs besides at least two
men.
1t was necessary to put three planes on the
larger Caproni, in order to carry the immense
weight at high speed 1t has three fuselages,
each with it's own motor, the one in the middle
being much shorter than the others. The right
and left fuselages have propellers in front, the
middle fuselage has a propeller behind. The mo-
tors are 24O-horse-pOwer Isotta Fraschni
The Capron are slow machines-only about 80
miles an hOur-and is capable Of fighting single
handed against the little wasps Of the air. They
are unique in that any one Of their motors suf-
fees to propel the machine; therefore, all three
must be stopped by bullets before it Is disabled.
In this last respect its only rival is-so far as
known at present writing-the great German
Gotha, which has two motors either Of which will
prOpel it.
One of the most striking facts about the evolu-
tiop Of air craft since the war began is that the
monoplane has virtually disappeared. Quite early
in the war the French Nieuport grew extra
pair Of wings. The principal reason why two
pairs are better than one Is that lifting power In
the air depends upon the Of the wings. Now
the Gotha's two pairs Of wings TIT feet long
and 1925 feet wide. which gives an area Of $50
square feet for each pair, or 1,138 square feet
the total wing surface. If this all in single
plane the wing would have to be about 153 feet
long If they had the same breadth as now; and
the leverage of the wind their ends would be
so great that the machine would be absolutely un-
manageable
For this same reason the biggest Of the Caproni,
which is by far the largest thing in the air, has
three planes instead Of two.
The Gotha is, however, more than a bombing
machine; 1t is a vertable aerial battleship. Over
its bow on swivel Is machine gun that can
shoot forward over horizontal Of more than
1S0 degrees. and a perpendicular arc Of
about 240 degrees. On Its fuselage, behind Its
wings and behind the propelers, is another gun
that shoots astern over horizontal arc Of nearly
$50 degrees and over perpendicular arc Of about
100. Besides these two guns the Gotha has a
third, mounted on pivot in the body Of the fuse-
age and pointing downwards. through port hole

EVERY MAN TO HIS LAST.

Because you are an excellent carpenter, de-
cared Socrates in his famous Apologize at Athens,
1t does not therefore follow that you are the
wisest Of men. Yet the tendency persisted and
persists and Alexander Cruden, a great maker Of
concordances, was found Offering his services to
the British government over $50 years ago, as
"corrector Of morals" just as many rich business
men in England today are offering their services
to the government under the conviction that they
can do In one day what expert can barely
manage In three-Christian Science Monitor.

IN MONTENEGRO.

There's peculiar superstition in Montenegro
where the peasants believe that the iron kettle
chain over the hot fireplace will not heat at all on
Christmas night, as at all other times but remains
cool to the touch. To explain this they claim
that a similar chain hung over the fire built on
the floor Of the stable at Bethlehem, and that nj
the birth Of Christ, the virgin mother grasped II
for support. 1t became cool at her touch lest Il

Owing to the untiring efforts of
County Agent William Guy, who is at
st. Paul where he is hiring men for
threshing, the labor situation in this
county has been greatly improved dur
ing the last week. Nearly every train
brings a contingent Of, men. They are
as a rule the better class of men and
good workers. If the weather. stays
favorable it is hoped that the crop will
all be threshed. One great drawback
to the threshing of the crop is the fact
that the terminal points are congested
with grain shipments and with the ell
evators in the rural districts filled to
capacity they are unable to take in the
grain as it comes from the machines
and as a result the farmers are great
ly Inconvenience for want of a place
to store the threshed grain. Great eff.
fort is being made to clear the termin-
ais of the congestion and it Is expected

An auto accident occurred last Mon
day afternoon to three of u town
boys while on2their way to shock for
J. A. Arid on his farm near Fox Lake.
Everything went we'll until Thelin's
farm was reached, then the a turned
turtle. Leslie Christian was thrown
clear Of the wreck and sustained only
a slight bruise on the face, but Sam
Swanson who was driving, was severe
ly cut about the face by flying glass
from the broken wind shield. Percy
Christian was in a dazed condition
when rescued and his face severely
bruised. Axel Thelin who witnessed
the accident, brought the injured lads
to town and temporary relief obtained
at the drug store until the arrival of
a doctor who was out of town. How
the accident happened is not quite
clear to the boys, but they attribute
it to a blowout or a defective wheel,
Fortunately the top was up and pre-
vented the inmates from being crush
ed and perhaps fatally injured.

NJ. A. Mcdonald Of Munich was in
the city last Thursday enroute to Min
neapolis where he went to bring back
some farm laborers for the farmers
near that city. Munich like the rest
Of the towns in this part of the state
has been without harvest and thresh-
ing help all fall with the result that
the farmers and business men Of that
town got together and raised a fund of
several hundred dollars which : was
given to Mr.. Mcdonald with instruc-
tons to go to the Employment office
at Minneapolis and hire 40 men and
pay their fare to Munich. 1t just hap
pened that MI. Haw, the Cavalier
county agent, was in the cities at this
time and he was wired Immediately to
pick up the men so that no time would
be lost getting them out and to work.

Judge Buttz went to Highland twp.
the first Of the week where he settled
a dispute between the taxpayers of
that township relative to some school
matters. It seems that they had vot-
ed to build a consolidated school, and
while the new school building is not
yet completed they were about to sell
the four old school houses and some of
the taxpayers had an injunction issued
to prevent the sale. Judge Buttz got
the matter fixed up by allowing two of
the old buildings to be sold at present.

The reserve farm laborers from the
city were out in force last Sunday and
for n day at least every threshing
rig within ten miles Of the city were
running with full crews. AS a rule
the crews are composed of about half
the necessary number Of men to run to
capacity, but even at ethat they are
threshing a large amount of grain
when viewed in bushels but the acre
age cleared in a day is comparatively
small as the shocks are numerous and
the straw long.

A Grand Forks county wheat raiser
has had all his fields raked after the
shocks were removed and cleaned
grain amounting to about a bushel an
acre. One man with a team gathered
in $50 worth of wheat, in a days work
The $50 possibly cut no great figure

this was a bad time. to allow good
wheat to go to waste. 1t is the prin-
