THE NAVAL BILL.

On the naval bill the senate has taken l,s position that 1t Is not for the best interests of the country that the cut in tns number of men as approved by the nouss should be made. In that respect the economy plea did not carry sufi- cent weight although it was the means cf sldslracking the millions that were souEht for a new base on the Pacific east
 Concerning the matter of a disarma- meut Sonference the senate raised no objection. Conditions have apparently changed since the house took action. and n seems not improbable that the house wn change it's view to accord with the senate on that point. On the question of having this country engage in dis armament on an extensive scale as an example and 10 encourage others no sympathy was manifested by the sen- ate and concerning that it must be ap- parent that no nation Is going to take the chance of sacrificing it's own safety untfl there Is some assurance that oth- erB Wnl do likewise. Therefore when it comes to the matter of disarmament it cSn bo expected that there will be some entertaining of what course is going Co be pursued by other leading nations.
 That the country is looking for the practice of economy by governmental de- par@ents that there may be the desired elect in the way of reduced government expenditures and government taxes is perfectiy well understood but that de- uand is not so insistent that there would te a sznetioning of any move that would piaes this country at the mercy of an- 1cher. It is through such an understand inE as can be reached In a disarmament conference that progress in this matter can Do expected
 From the fact however, that the sen Rte has taken somewhat different action 2han the bo-se upon features of the na- val appropriation bill e conference will Do necessary and there still remains a chance for a compromise. with economy that can be rated as wise and safe in nind- The fact that the country Is ealied upon to spend about four times as maeh for the navy ss before the wal gives reason for seeking curtailment wherever it is possible.

BREAKING UP CRAFT.

A question that is not likely to be set led by the resignation, or threatened ,saiEnation of Samrel Untermyer as the Fpeeial prosecutor in the building graft sases in New York Is that which he has directed attention to in protesting the ulposition of fines on those who plead Euiiiy to grafting instead of sending ,aem to jail It is not likely to end be- aauHe if l. isn't within the power of the aoutrs t0 impose jail sentences it is suita certain that the matter will not be allowed to rest until the necessary leg isiztion has been obtained.
 It is to be realized that there are in staneea where the imposition of a fine rafher than a jail sentence is fully ius- uncd and where it will accomplish just as good results Those gre the cases where all that s necessary to bring about a different attitude toward the law ia Co have it demonstrated ;hat the law has been violated. But when if comes to a deliberate and studied vio- lafion of the law by the extortion of money it becomes evident that those hardened in such practice are not likely Do regard it as much discouraEement to receive me which represents only a part of what the graft operations have yicid9- Were h a fact that the fine rvuailed or exceeded what his been got len in the way Of graft there would he l rstarding influence. Otherwise it can hardly be expected to place much of a sheck upon such a practice by those whc Nave escaped with a fine or discourage sthsrs from doing the same thing.
 T1oEe who h---- '-----a- of over q ccrtzin amount know that they have tr pay rart of it into the federal treas Hry. and the greater the income the mora srey have to ray. If they can ge r through grafting operations and ar, sniy sub5ected to a comparatively small rourt nne shers is little wonder that brosecutor who recognizes the extent t which the practice has gotten a hol Epou certain elenents should feel lilx lhruwkg ID his hands and ssversng al scnrsctisn with the inquiry.

Well, my dear" conceded Pond, when Mrs. Pond suggested that he spend the evening removing the epidernis from a bushel of pears; T had a tentative en- gagement for bridge, but"

 Mrs. Pond tied a generous apron around him and he addrNssed himself to the task. Don't you even have these knives sharp ened?" he grumbIed presently.
 Tt isn't the knives, it's the pears. They are quite hard. They keep better if not too ripe, dear'
 Fruit ought not to need whiting like a pine stick" was his next remark. 'No wonder the canneries are short of help. should think they would invent some other way to take the skins off,"
 Ponds bed never looked more inviting than that midnight when the work was done.
 Where were you last night?" was tn, question asked of Pond by the neighbol 1 to whom Pond was giving lift in his car We were looking for you to fill a tabl at bridge"
 "I was being model husband" Pont replied with conscious pride You see my wife is an old fashioned housekeeper she has to have pantry full of jars. S last night I assisted with a bushel o pears. Say, old man, don't ever choos pears when you're trying to be mode husband. My arm is lame. my hands ar blstered, and I had the most horribl nightmare.

RUSSIAN TRADE POSSIBILITIES

|
 The apparent disposition of Russia to renew trade with the outside world and the fact that at least one of the principal trading countries of Europe has opened it's door to such trade lends interest to some figures compiled by the National City Bank of New York as to Russia's trade, past present and prospective. While no official trade fig ures of the Soviet government are a. vailable, it is possible, says a state ment by the bank, to at least get a glimpse as to what has been happen ing in this line down to the end of 1920. Official trade figures of a few of the principal commercial nations show their respective records of trade with Russia down to the very late date. Curiously their total is not so much below that of the year preced- ing the war as might be expected and shows an aggregate of their trade with Russia in 1920 only about p per cent below that of 1913. Trade of the United States with Russia in 1920, according to our own official figures, aggregated in 1920 approximately $40,O00,0O0 to $50,000,O00 in 1913; that of Great Brit ain with Russia $247 100000 in 1920 as compared with s330,000 ,000 in 1913; Ja- pan nearly $10;000 900 in 1920 to SPA OOO,OOO in 1913, and Switzerland in in the latest year available, s24,00O,- 900 against $25,000,O00 in 1913. The aggregate of these four countries com pared with $410,OO0,0OO in 1913, though the fact that prices of many articles are still materially higher than in 19- 19 suggests that the relation of the 1920 trade to that of the pre-war year is not as great when measured in quan- tity as indicated by the mere figures of value.
 Exports form the principal factor in our own trade with Russia, and es- pecially European Russia, in 1920, the total of exports to Russia in Europe in the calendar year 1920 having been | according to the official reports of the Department of Commerce $15,447.- 900 as against $25, ,965, 900 in 1913, while to Asiatic Russia the exports of 1920
 were $13, 3,281,000 against slightly less than $1,000,G00 in 1913, making the total exports to Russia, European and Asiatic, $28,5O0,OO0 against $27, 900 0OO
 in the year before the war. On the
 import side, the 1920 figures contrast
 much more strongly with these ot
 the pre-war period, the total imports
 from European Russia $10, 655 900 tc

Stories That Recall Others
Foolish Question.

In a neighborhood where war gar dens" were very popular there are still many of them because they still save the families many dollars.
 Harry who was eight years old, was hard at work hoeing the early stuff when the woman next door asked: Harry, is your mother home?"
 Harry stopped and leaning on his hoe replied: Mrs. x, you don't think that l would be working like this if my mother wasn't home?' Otherwise He Wouldn't Have Been
 Cheerful.
 A small boy was sent to church by his father with a nickel and dollar bill
 You are to put what you please on the offertory plate my boy. Listen to the sermon and make your offering in accordance with the impression made upon you.''
 The boy had returned. Well, what did you put on the platter"
 'tThe nickel I was going to give the other when remembered what the clergyman said in his sermon"
 What was that?"
 'The Lord loveth a cheerful giver.'

NAVEL ORANGE GROWING

Much of the wealth of California comes from the growing of navel or anges in large quantities.
 This story is to tell how the navel orange was, introduced into the United States. In 1870 the Department of Az riculture rought some navel orange trees from Bahia, Brazil, and planted them in the greenhouse of Washing ton. It happened that Mrs. Tibbets, of Riverside California, sent for a tree and the Department of Agriculture sent her three navel orange trees. These Mrs. Tibbets planted and two Of them grew and bore fruit. Their first suc- cessful crop was in 1876.
 The new fruit became the wonder and wealth of California. Orange growers at once saw that there was a fortune in these new Brazilian trees

What in all probability will amount to one of the last steps before the putting into effect of the federal budget system is the agreement which has been reach ed by the conference committee of con- gress named to deal with the conflicting features as passed by the two branches of congress. Following the acceptance by congress of the compromise there can be no other view taken than that the president will make note of his attitude by signing the bill.
 Between the two houses there was difference of opinion as to whether the president should name the treasury of fcial who will have charge of the budget, whether he should be subject to removal by congress and whether the budget should be made up on the treasury de- partment or outside.
 By the understanding which had been reached the budget official shall be named by the president and hold office for term that is. not within the con trol of congress and the budget bureau is to be in the treasury department. The control rests with the president rather than congress and with such matters agreed upon there should be early action that will complete the lawmaking and hasten the time when the budget bureau can get down to business
 The placing of the government upon a business basis through the introduction of a budget system has been sought for years. The mere establishment of such a system will not be sufficient to accom- piish all that is desired As the way is pointed by it there should be conscientious consideration given to the situation that 1t reveals and determination to gov ern expenditures in accord herewith. A clear understanding of tue estimated ex: penses and income ought to pave the way for the ending of the period of riotous spending.
