GOOD BUT NOT APPLICABLE.

The agricultural magazine. Farm Life" an In
diana publication, iii discussing the probability OF
the use Of corn for fuel this winter, discounts that
probability and expresses the belief that really very
little corn will be consumed for this purpose, and
it adds the sapient suggestion that the farmer who
has not a wood lot had better get busy and plant
an acre or two of trees.
s>The advice is excellent. but it scarcely fits into
the present situation. The depressing Yact, SO lar,
as the farmer is concerned. is that corn brings a
very small price per bushel and coal brings a very
great price per ton. The farmer who had a wood
lot OF adequate size may snap his fingers at the coal
man, but the farmer who is not SO equipped must
decide here and now on the fuel question. An acre
or two OF trees or several acres is a fine thing to
have on a farm, but it takes time to plant them and
time for them to grow. 1t will be at least a dozen
years before anything much larger than twigs can
be obtained for fuel from a grove planted now. In
the. meantime the farmer must keep warm or freeze.
If he is to keep warm he must use the means which,
are at hand now. Many farmers must make the
choice between selling their corn at a low price and
buying coal with the proceeds at a high price, or
burning the corn to afford the requisite amount of
heat.
Ihe advice given in this connection resembles
4 good deal Of the advice that is given in connection
with other subjects. We find reams Of such advice
given in connection with the armament conference.
The president Of the United States conceived the
idea that it would be a good thing for the major
nations to do something now to lessen the burden
Of taxes due to immense armament and to head off
armament increases for the future. No sooner was
this purpose announced than a clamor was set up
in many quarters for the solution OF all the interna-
tlonal problems that ever presented themselves, and
their solution right now regardless of the purpose
of the armament conference. If the conference
should heed the advice of this kind that has been
given, it would fritter away it's time for weeks,
would accomplish nothing in the nature Of promot-
ing the cause Of real peace throughout the world,
and would wreck the possibility Of even an approach
to disarmament by complicating that subject with
a multitude Of others on which agreement at this
time is a manifest impossibiiity. The disposition
of the conference is to proceed along the lines laid
down in the call; to discuss reduction of naval arm
araent and the elimination SO far as possible of the
causes which might provoke the nations to war.
With these two things kept steadfastly before it,
the conference may and doubtless will reach very
desirable results.

PRopoRT1oNArE ARMAMENT.

While the three major naval powers have
agreed IN principle to the plan proposed by Secre-
tary hughes at the opening Of the Armament con-
ference, the details are yet to be formulated. One
OF these undetermined details is the proportion of
armament which each Of the three powers will be
authorized to maintain. Newspaper readers have
become familiar with the $50 formula, which
-s9aeans OF course, that when the three navies are re-
duced to their proposed proportions, the British and
american navies will be Of equal size and that Of
Japan will be so per cent as strong as either of the
others. This arrangement is not satisfactory to
Japan whose delegates maintain that at least 70 per
cent is necessary for their navy from the standpoint
OF national security. At this time there~seens to
be no probability that the United States delegation
will agree to this larger proportion for Japan. and
while the British delegation has not committed it.
self on the proposition, it seems to be a general tn-
Outstanding that its attitude is similar to that of the
United States.
lnasnnuch as the conference is entirely yolun-
tary and no nation is bound to accept it's decisions.
Japan is quite at liberty to disregard the wishes Of
the other nations represented at the conference if
her statesmen believe that this is the wise course.
Such an attitude On Japan's part might easily, and
would IN all probability wreck the entire reduction
program. Il is quite certain that however much
the United States may desire reduction of arma-
rlelt, she will not permit Japan to %outclass her or
10 approach her IN naval strength. Therefore, if
Japan insists on building, the United States must
also build, and this will call for the resumption Of
the British building program as we'll.
here seems to be little danger however that
the. conference will go to wreck on this issue. It IS
unlikely that Japan when the issue is brought to
the final test, will insist on maintaining her present
position. She has stated her case and is making
her strongest play, and having made it, she will.

DREAMS.

In an article on dreams just received this state
ment is made:
The story is quite well known of the Cornish
gentleman who dreamed that he witnessed the muir
der OF the chancellor of the exchequer in the House
Of Commons. Never in his life had he been there,
but he visualized the place quite accurately. He told
OF his dream to several friends and described the
position in the lobby Of the murderer and his victim.
Next day-this happened a hundred years ago-a
rider with news came into the village and confirm
ed the circumstances of the tragedy. Soon afterward
the gentleman went to London, and in the lobby
pointed out where he had seen in his dream, the
chancellor and his assailant stand. Those who were
present testified that it had happened just as he
said"
Whether this is fact or fiction we do not know.
1 here may be such a case on record. There may
be many such cases. And when there has been op-
to investigate it has almost always been
found that the case simmered down to a combina-
ton of coincidence, imagination and credulity.
Assuming that the case of the Cornish gentle
man is a genuine one, il it followed the majority Of
cases Of like character the explanation would run
about like this:
The gentleman, although having never visited
London, was interested in public affairs, and was
familiar with the position of such officials as the
chancellor, who might have been a personal ac-
quaintance. Because Of the suggestion conveyed
through some past experience, of which suggestion
he was not conscious, he dreamed of the murder Of
the official at about the time that the murder was
dSludiiy Taxing place. NAT would be a coincidence,
not common, but quite possible. and similar to thor-
sands OF other condolences. Knowing tlat the of
fetal was a parliamentary officer it would be natu-
raj for the dreamer to localize the event in the place
OF the victims activities. He would have some sort
OF mental picture of the pace Of the murder, and If
he conceived the murder as taking place ii The
House Of Commons, which was natural, he would
conceive Of an assembly hall in which there were
many people. Visiting the chamber later he would
be prepared to recognize every detail which tended
to fly in with his dream, and would pass unnoticed
all discrepancies. He would therefore, in perfect
good faith, recognize the chamber as the place
which he had seen in his dream, when the dream
would have fitted As readily any halt which Approx
mated the appearance Of the real one.
There are dreams, visions, arr So forth. which
seem marvellous, and whichFhave not been explain
So. But there are 50 many equally marvellous il,
appearance which have been explained in a perfect.
~ natural manner that doubt is cast on the super-
normal character Of all the others.

men Always hold if business men want to put
through a great transaction.
There is a third kind Of conference which has
the vices of both and the advantages Of neither, that
is the conference of partial disclosure. One side
goes to its own friends and says. They are not go
ing to give way on this, and we are going to stick
