THE COST OF WAR

A recent tabulation of federal
expenses for 1920, shows what
a tremendous burden war entails
upon the people. Out of the
taxes paid into the treasury, 90
per cent are either for purposes
growing out of the recent war,
or for protection against future
wars.
The big costs of war, make it
necessary to restrict the work of
peace. 1t becomes necessary to
cut down on all Projects for de-
veloping the country. Work in
the forest service, for public
he a h, scientific agriculture,
good roads, and many other en-
terprises needed for the welfare
of the people, has to be cut down
owing to the heavy costs of war.
1t is the great problem of the
future, how to avoid war. Some
times avoiding war means ma
tlonal dishonor, which is worse
than debts or taxes. But it
should be possible to find honor
able ways by which war can be
prevented.

LAMB THAT GREW ON TREE
according to the Taimud, Remarkable
Plant Furnished Food for Our
Very Remote Ancestors.

How often is the wish expressed
mat money grew on trees? Why not
wish for lamb to grow that way, for
according to the Latin translation of
the Talmud Of Jerusalem, that ancient
book OF law and customs, wonderfully
tender and eatable lambs did grow on
trees.
This work, remarks a writer in the
New York Evening Sun. tells of a
plant called the jeduan, which was
formed like lamb. From q bunch of
rather coarse, thick leaves there is
sued steam on which the zoophy,e
grew, so the story goes. In every re-
spect it was formed like an animal
suspended on stalk within the radius
OF which 1t grazed. It devoured all
the heritage which 1t was able to reach
within the circle Of its tether. and
then unless some oyerventurous ami
NAL came near enough for it to snatch
the lamb would die of starvation.
Our remote ancestors hunted the
lamb at great risk, for historians tell
US that the lamb had not earned its
reputation for gentleness then. It was
extremely ferocious, especially if it
had exhausted Its provender. The
only way to overcome it was to cut the
stem by well-aimed darts or arrows
sent from a safe distance Once the
stem was severed the animal fell to
the earth soon to die, and the sue.
cessful hunter could safely come forth
to carry his game back to his cave
home.

.dea that sea Serpents exist nowhere
out in fiction, that Is not the case, and
of all snakes they are the most ven

vastly numerous, especially in the IN

literally by hundreds swimming at the

TO OPERATE AIRSHIP FLEET

A company has been formed in Eng

feet Of airships to various parts Of the
world. The syndicate desires to &C.
quire ground near Southport. where it
proposes to erect a tower 100 to $50
feet high to which airships may be
moored. and an elevator will take the
passengers up the tower and into the
gondolas Of the ships. The syndicate
intends to have fleet Of non-rig1d
airships in commission next spring;
the smaller. will carry 80 passengers
and crew and the larger 40 passengers
and crew. The company also antic-
ipates running some Of the larger
rigid airships now in course Of con-
struction. These will have a carrying
capacity of $50 passengers and be able
to travel to any part Of the globe. 1t
is proposed to use the smaller non
rigid airships to feed the larger ones
and meet them at the principal cen
ters. The cost per mile is put at about
half the cost Of a taxicah fare today,
approximately about Is cents per mile.

North Dakota's Ignite.

A government report says "the fuel
problem has been forever solved in
North Dakota" The western half Of
the state is underlaid with Ignite, the
beds estimated to contain 0,0OO OO0,-
600 tons. Over thousands Of square
miles this soft coal lies so close to the
surface that farmers merely dig a
hole in their own fields and take out
the coal as they require it. During
1918 1,0OOOOO,O0O tons were mined. If
the farmer is too busy with his farm
work to help himself, he can buy 1t
for $3.50 or 81 per ton. Many Of the
large grain elevators are operated by
power furnished by coal that Is mined
on the spot, and this general economy
in fuel has aided materially in in
creasing the per capita wealth.
