MILK TRUCK IN RIVER.
Machine Turned Somersault at End Of
a Bridge-Driver Escaped.

CUTTINGSVILLE, July 2l.-After
the Ford truck which he was driving had
turned complete somersault at the
iron bridge just north of the village,
dumping part of its cargo of milk into
the waters of Mill river, George Nor
iarty crawled out from under the wreck
pretty we'll shaken up and bruised. but
with no broken bones or serious injuries.
The accident happened Saturday eve
ming when George was driving Will
Smiths milk truck to the Cuttingsville
station, and Just how he got off the
road and into the river no one knows.
The truck failed to make the curve, went
down the l5-foot bank into the river
and turned turtle. Probably only the
cab of the truck saved the driver from
death or serious injury.
II. K. Ridlon, with the assistance OF
block and tackle, got the ear out OF the
river Sunday morning, saving part OF
the cargo, and the fiyver was able te
proceed TO further repairs under its OWL

FARMERS LUCK.

American farmers are being envied now on
account of the nice, fat profit they are making
on their wheat this year, and still more on the
profit they are expected to make next year. The
government price guarantee intended merely as
a necessary stimulus to production, happens to
insure Mr.. Farmer a liberal bonus or subldy
over and above the anticipated market price.
Nobody need jump onto the farmer for this,
or onto anybody else for that matter 1t is one
of the fortunes of war;
So far as the producers are concerned,
though, they will benefit considerably, their prot
its will not be by any means as great as some
frenzied calculators have estimated They may
make $780, 900 or $500, 100000 more than
they would make, next year, without the gov
ernmFnt guarantee, in an open market. Who
will venture to say that they do not deserve this
luck, because of the zeal with which they
,jlanged int) their task of feeding the word?
IeJ surly critics remember, too that if the
war had continued for another year, as was eX
pey;ec,. their wheat would easily have been worth
s., Is bushel. If they are now proftlns. from
carly neace, their good fortune is only part of
oar ugiversal fortune.
The additional year of war would have cost
the nation S20,000000, 900 or more. Out of that
we can easily spare the farmers bonus.

kAISER'S FATHER
CONSIDERED HIM
DANGEROUS MAN

! Correspondence Associated Press
Berlin, Jan. .17.-Less than two
years before William II, the former
German emperor, came to the throne
of Germany, his father, Frederick
considered it dangerous to let him
have any hand in the foreign politics
of the German ampire. Frederick, in
| fact, had an extremely low regard for
his sons mental equipment and abil-
ity, and it is frankly set forth in let
ter written to Bismarck, Sept. 2S
1886, from Portofino, Italy, and which
has Just been made public.
Williams principal defects at that
time, as his father saw them, were
"his habit of making snap judgments
in a manner tending to eXaggeration,
lack of "actual learning" which was
"still full of gaps" and IAN inclination
to conceit." Here is the text of the
letter:
"My son. Prince Wilhelm, has with
out my previous knowledge expressed
taa wish of His Majesty (William l;
Frederick then was still the crown
prince), to become better acquainted
with the operations of our minlsterles
during the coming winter, and | learn
tnat it is intended to employ him in
the Foreign Office.
"Inasmuch as l have received no Of
icial communication to that effect, l
am compelled to turn to- you in con-
fdence to learn what has really been
decided on, and further to declare
hat, despite the fact that | am in
favor in principle Of introducing my
son into questions Of the higher adj
ministration, l am decidedly opposed
o having him begin at the Foreign
Office. For, in view of the import
ance of the tasks to be entrusted to
The prince, I consider it imperative
hat he shall first of all thoroughly
learn the internal condition of his own
land and have the feeling that he
understands them thoroughly before
he, with his habit of making snap
judgments tending to exaggeration,
busies himself with politics.
"His actual learning is still full
Of gaps, and at the same time he
acks the proper foundation, and for
his reason it is absolutely necessary
hat his education be improved and
,ompleted If he could be assigned to
he office of civilian advisory Off
,ial, and if he could later be con-
aected with or even given post in
one of the administrative ministertas,
It would serve this purpose. But, in
yiew of the immaturity as well of
he inexperience of my eldest son. and
also of his inclination to conceit, |
nm compelled to declare that it is alb
solutely dangerous to bring him into
ouch with questions of foreign policy

1t is proposed to organize the farm
into 5,000-acre units, each with its
own group of permanent buildings
modernly equipped and in charge of
a competent farm manager. Each
farm will be separately managed. Con-
tracts for the leasing of the land on
long term agreements have been exc
cuted with the government through
Secretary Lane.
Many acres of similar land exist in
practically all of the Pacific coast
states, as we'll as in Colorado, and
steps are being taken to open that
land to the returning soldiers. No
steps have thus far been taken in
Montana to invite soldiers to settle
on the uncultivated land.

PARALLEL FOR
FLEET SURRENDER
is DISCOVERED

Correspondence Associated Press)
London, Jan. 1.-THE Bishop OF
Durham has found on historical prece-
dent for the surrender of the German
fleet in the pages of Livy. That anci-
ent chronicler tells how, as an article
of the peace agreement which ended
the second Punic war. Carthage had to
surrender to Rome the whole of her
battle fleet.
Rome, the article points out, was
the great military power and Garth
age was the great naval power of an
tiquity, just as Germany and England
in modern times. Rome beat Garth
age-the soldier beat the sailor. In
the conflict Rome revealed an extra
ordinary adaptability for naval war
fare, and Carthage grave internal
weakness.
"The German writer's" the Man
chester Guardian comments "antici-
pated a similar course for war be-
tween Germany and England. They
were confident that the German mill
tary mind applied to naval warfare
would prove it's superiority to the
English, and that England, put to the
test, would be proved rotten-a great
Illusion"
Explaining why the parallel Of an
tiquity was deceptive, the Guardian
proceeds:
at should not too hastily assumed
that the British navy displayed an
intellectual superiority derived from
long tradition which no young navy
could hope to overcome. We are on
safe ground if we say that the Ger
man navy, unlike the navy of ancient
Rome, showed itself singularly wooden

CANALS PAY

This years report on the canals of the state
of New York gives a total of 1,15926O tons of
merchandise carried, representing value of
S34,212,549.
If the canal service Of this one state is so
great, some estimate can be formed as to the
amount of canal business conducted throughout
the country, and its possibilities of increase if the
canals were extended and improved generally
The betterment of canal construction and the
employment of motor tractors or launches for
drawing the canal boats will do away with the
sloWness Of this method of transportation which
has been the most Objectionable feature.
Even under present hampering conditions
many Of the larger Industrial companies through
out the country have found it worth their while
to use canal haulage during the past year, and
a greater variety of materials has been carried
than ever before.
