Watts Mills corporation held several

been a member of the clerical force
Idr about a year, was elected secre-
tary of the mill succeeding Chas. +.

least certain that there was no other
woman occupying an executive posi-
tive in southern cotton mills.

U. $. & Texas, Sixth Battle Squadron, Grand Fleet, in the Firth of Forth, No vember 21.-Sea power is the slow growth of generations. Navies are not made by rivetting steel plates into battleships, dumping aboard a lot of square -headed 1ongshoremen to man them and using the result to make a grab at the moon. Once in history that wild venture was tried. The fleet which tried it lies to- night in the gigantic British harbor of Scapa Flow, a fleet without flag, an exiled fleet interned in the long night of these northern attitudes. As long as navies endure, that fleet will be a stink in the nostrils of decent sailormen.
 From the time in 1898 when it tried to bluff Dewey and seize Manila, the German navy has been a libel on navies. 1t was never more so than in the greed for humiliation it displayed in it's sheep- like surrender to the grand fleet on No- vember q.
 Rather than surrender, the French navy came out of TouIon in 1895 to cer- tain defeat at Trafalgar. Rather than surrender, the Spanish fleet came out of Santiago in 1898 to certain defeat. Rather than surrender, the Russian Baltic fleet went down to certain defeat in 1905. By their defeats these fleets have en- riched the hard-won traditions which make the navies rich. In their defeats, they did honor to the colors they bore and to the splendid estate to which their nations had called them. But the tra- ditions of the worlds navies meant noth- ing to the German navy. Like the Ger

 The silent procession kept up until 3 o'clock. when the Germans reached their specified anchorage ground in Large Bay and the Americans held on for their

 across the waters from nearby British ships and it's own band beginning tc tune up below in the wardroom coun- try.
 The captain said he was glad it was
 over He was glad it had ended as it had. I'd rather take my crew back
 home than leave half of them at the bottom of the North, Sea-" he said. He wondered, however, what the navy would do now that the war was over. He remembered that he had felt the l same way after the Spanish war. Among his officers there was & great deal of
 curiosity about what the preliminary in- spection of the German ships would re- veal Later in the day the things that the preliminary inspection parties had found aboard the Germans became noised about

They found that the condition of the German ships was as foul as their behavior had been. Discipline in the crews was completely absent the men smoking cigarettes in the presence of their officers and many of them wearing red armlets bearing the letters IS. A (Soldaten and Arbeiter-Soldiers and Workers) and giving instructions to the officers. Cigarette stubs lay about the decks and in many places, the corticene floorings had been worn through As for the condition of the engine rooms, one British chief handed it down as his considered opinion that 1t was wonder the Germans had been able to make 10 knots. Lets turn away from this libel on navies and think of other things. Now that the late Kaiser's death defy ing navy has surrendered, Germany Is no longer a power on the sea- There are now only two great navies in the world. When demobilization is completed, they will face each other across the Atlantic -the British navy and the United States navy.

 A child simply will not stop play ing to empty the bowels, and the re- suit is that they become c1ogged with waste. the liver becomes sluggish, the stomach is disordered, and then your little one becomes cross, feverish, and does not eat, sleep or behave naturally. Often the breath Is bad, and system "stuffy'' with a cold; the child has sore throat, stomach ache or diarrhea Listen, Mother!

 A fowl eats 100 pounds of corn and meal during IS months, and produces 1S0 eggs and 41k pounds of food when killed. The relation between dry fodder and dry human food is IA to l.
 sheep eats 600 pounds of dry fodder in a year and produces B pounds or meat Here 24 pounds of dry fodder produce one pound of dry human food. But a sheep also yields 10 pounds of wool, which is invaluable and is supple mentary to the food value of the animal
 Finally, fat OK eats eight tons of dry fodder during three years of life and produces 800 pounds of beef or 25o pounds of dry human food. The astonishing value of 64 pounds of dry fodder for the production of one pound of dry human food is revealed. To produce the roast beef of old England requires more than

But if the process of fatten- ing be continued, as is usually the casa then at the end of another three rncut.1 the animal may weight 12T5 pounds. If the fodder during this interval has amounted to 2A pounds weekly. it may be calculated that 100 pounds of dry fod. der yielded only one additional pound of dry human food. It was evident that tbe
 1t OK was too extravagant a product for England to maintain.

 An average COW during her life eats Z1 tons of dry fodder and produces 1-4 tons of dry human fod in the form of milk, veal from her own calves and COW meat from her own carcass. Hence, 12 pounds of dry fodder are required to produce one pound of dry human food. The COW eats hay and grass and con- centrated foods like bran and oilcake
 A pig eats seven pounds of barley (six pounds dry weight and produces one pound of pork, containing half it's weight in water.

man empire, the German navy was a mushroom growth without traditions.
 Navies are not built for the purpose of waging wars. They are built for the purpose of preserving peace, for the furtherance !. of understandings between nations, for the carrying of light into the dark places of the earth The navy is the finest diplomat in the nations service. But this, too, meant nothing to the German navy. The high sea fleet existed of by and for the purpose of waging war on the grand fleet.
 The conduct of navies, in time of peace and war alike, is defined by certain codes. They are not written down be- cause they do not need to be written down. They are the very breath of the navy. Knightliness is native to the navy. But if there have been occasions when the German navy has shown those quail ities of knightliness which govern con tending nations in the making of war, there have been many more occasions when it's conduct has been anything but decent. From the time in 1914 when, after the battle of Helgoland Eight, German officers spat in the faces of their Brit ish rescuers, the German navys conduct has been a libel on navies. When it fled from the battle of Jutland on May 31, 1916,

 GERMAN MILITARY MIND
 It is better that a nation should die than that this brotherhood of men in the presence of the sea-one of the oldest and most sacred traditions the world po- sessess-should be violated. Only the German military mind, which operated the German ravy, could have held the senseless doctrine that frightfulness pays the doctrine hv which the more brutal aspects of submarine warfare were pus- tified. Logically, the doctrine that frightfulress pays might nave been beautifully sound but the German mind has never learned that it is not logic which determines the motives of men and of nations Brains do not run the world. It is the temper which runs the world.

ALLIES' RESERVE

Amsterdam, April 5.-"The enemy is holding an enormous force of re- serves south and to the rear of the front on which has been penetrated our force with which to attack our troops upon tho south flank" declared the Vorwaerts yesterday. In this British force the German paper sees grave menace of serious disaster to the German army and one which may off, set the gains which have been made by the Germans.
 The Berlin pu blication expresses dis satisfaction over the apparent inability of the German forces to break clear of the British defenses with the enormous forces which have been launched in the drive and forecasts strong protests being made against the slaughter of soldiers to no important end.
 This is the first sign of doubt which has been noted in the German press over the successful outcome of the battle and indicates that the German people are not entirely satisfied with the move.

 A verta ble bombshell exploded in the community last evening when it became known that three prominent business men of the city had been placed under arrest by the '. s. deputy marshal in connection with the distribution of the seditous pamph- let "Three in One'' which went thru the mail to local citizens last Tuesday. Shortly after o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, Deputy Marshal Sharpe, hay ing obtained sufficient evidence against the men, proceeded to arrest Frank H. Bold. part owner of the ketchikan Electric Laundry, Dean c. Cannon, owner of the Cannon Bakery, and Bert H. Liebe extensive property owner.
