FOR ARMY IS
KAHN'S IDEA
Force Of 10000 Enlisted
Men Too Small; To In
troduce Amendment.

Washington, April 29.-Chairman
Kahn of the military affairs commit
tee told the house today that an en-
listed force of $4,000 men. as, fixed
by the army appropriation bill was
too small and at the proper time he
would offer an amendment increas-
Ing the number to $4,000.
Il am not an alarmist, I am not
afraid of war, but we all know that
world conditions arc unsettled" he
declared. And in the interest OF
true economy, in the interest of the
welfare of the country, l shall appeal
to the membership Of this house to
support such an amendment"
Citing the fact that Japan. and
China both had much larger armies
than this country, the California rep.
resentative said that in proportion tc
population only Colombia and Para.
quay had smaller armies than the
United States
Thousands of our fellow citizens
believe" said MIR. Kahn, that this
country by it's action in the way OF
, reducing it's army can bring about in.

difficulty. Some months have elapsed

at least, for the present, to maintain
a force, the minimum of which viii

| Answering the demand for reduc
ton of government expenses, Mr.
Kahn declared the secretary of wa
could be trusted absolutely to cut ex
penses wherever possible without in
jury to the military establishment.
1T seems to me the facts are s.
palpable that no one at this tim
ought to want to cripple our militar
strength, Mr.. Kahn said. II,

NEW FORMS OF CRIME.

Modern inventions and appliances have made
some forms of crime much more easy to commit.
with greater chances of escaping punishment than
they before in the history of the world.
Note the many robberies of banks and jewelry
stores by heavily armed men acting in bodies OF
three to six or more, having laid their plans care
fully to get away with their booty in high-powered
motor cars, and not hesitating to kill those who
attempt to defend the property placed in their care
To meet in measure the audacity Of these rob-
bers. in certain towns bands of minute men have
been organized, armed with adequate means Of re-
pelling criminals and ready to respond on short
notice when they needed, not only to act in the
general defense but also to give prompt and effective
chase in the robbers should succeed in obtain
ing plunder.
These preparations, in some cases, are being made
in response to a belief that w-abiding members
of society must do something more than is being
done now to protect themselves from their enemies.
Either the laws against many forms of crime not
sufficiently severe. they not enforced with the
severity and certainty which present circumstances
demand. 1t is mistaken kindness to be lenient to
criminals who prey upon the community. and who
place men, women and children In jeopardy Of their
lives. Crimes have become numerous and so
varied and criminals have become so insolent and
audacious that extraordinary efforts needed not
only to catch and convict them but also to that
adequate punishments meted out.

HARD TIMES.

Across the editorial desk from some unremem-
bered source came little bit of French alegory.
A portrait painter sat in his favorite cafe slipping
his wine His first small bottle finished, he was
about to order more when his eye fell on a head
line in the Figaro Hard Times Are Coming" SO
instead of ordering his usual second bottle he called
for his check
'Is there anything wrong with the wine?" asked
the landlord
"The wine Is good but did not order second
bottle because hard times coming and we must
economize," explained the artist
Hard times" said the landlord. Then my wife
must not order the silk dress we planned, but must
take one of cotton"
Hard times" repeated the dressmaker when the
order was cancelled. "This is not time to expand.
must not make the Improvements had planned in
the place."
Hard times, ehg" said the builder when the
dressmaker cancelled the building plans. "Then !
cannot have my wfe's portrait painted"
So he wrote to the artist and cancelled his order.
After receiving the latter the artist went again
to his favorite cafe and ordered small bottle OF
wine to soothe him. On nearby chair was the paper
In which he had read OF hard times two days be-
fore He picked 1t up to read more closely and found

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Aug. 24--Firmer prices
marked today's trading on the Chi
cago board of trade. Wheat and
corn led on the influence of buy
ing of cash grain for export and
pulled oats along with them.
Wheat closed unchanged to Acnet
higher; corn was up Nc to nc and
oats / Nc to &c. Provisions also
were firmer and lard gained 20 to
rs points and ribs 12hc to zoe on
the day.
The early trade in wheat showed
switch in local sentiment toward
the buying side and while the first
advances brought out some resting
selling orders, pressure was not
pronounced as compared with pre-
vious days. Continuation of export
business. coupled with word that
millers were after red winter wheat
and finding 1t hard to get, brought
additional recruits to the longs.

markets were strong here today
and were marked by continued
heavy sales to exporters and do
mestic shippers. All premiums
held firm, especially that for No. 2
red winter wheat. There was a
reported scarcity Of that grain and
milling interests were said to be
seeking it out.
Shipping sales were placed at
$40, 900 bushels of wheat. Of which
$4,000 went to exporters; 100000
of corn, of which 100000 was for

latter being domestic.
Vessel room was N"~tered for
100000 bushels of wheat, 100000
corn and 2S0.000 oats. 1t was also
reported that two boats had been
loaded with oats to be held afloat
until spring when they will either
go east at spring rates or be un-
loaded. The main object of this
was said to be the creation Of ad-

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
ROOT BEER.

Uncle Wiggily was hopping
through the woods one day, not far
from his hollow stump bungalow,
whe. he met Grandpa Goosey Gam
der. Mr.. Gander was digging up
roots, nibbling off bits of bark.
pulling up little plants and putting
them all into a bag which he car
ried on a piece of wild grape vine
string hung about his neck.
"What are you doing, Grandpa
Goosey?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
Making root beer" was the an
swer. "Or, at least, l am getting
the things rea,'1 to make root
beer"
"How do you do it?" the rabbit
gentleman wanted to know. Root
beer sounds good to me, especially
on a hot day like this"
"Root beer is good" said Grand
pa Goosey Gander. "To make 1t
you gather roots, barks and diff
ferent things in the woods, as l
am doing. You take sassafras, sar-
saparilla, birch bark, little ginger
root and some leaves from the
spice wood bush. These you boil up
until you have thick syrup. Then
you mix that with water and some
sugar, put in a little yeast, bottle
1t and you have root beer"
"But why the yeast?" Uncle
Wiggily asked. II know Nurse Jane
puts yeast in her bread; but why
in root beer?"
Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy uses yeast to
maxi her bread rise ind become
light and fluffy" answered Grand
pa Goosey. "Yeast does the same
to root beer. 1t makes 1t froth and
foam and gives it a nice bity taste,
that tickles your tongue like soda
dater."
81 see!" laughed Uncle Wiggily.
"Well, I'm going to make root
beer!"
So he gathered roots. barks and
leaves, and, taking them home, he
asked Nurse Jane to boil them into
thick syrup, or extract.
What for?" the muskrat lady
housekeeper wanted to know.
$50 that may make nice, cool
root beer for you and me to drink"
the bunny answered.
"That will he fine!" Nurse Jane
exclaimed. for the Gay was hot. "I
shall drink two glasses" she added.

MUNKEYS.
1
Our ancestors descended from
munkeys
Millions of centuries ago,
But judging by the looks Of some
people
1t was ony last yeer or so.
All munkeys make the same kind
of faces
And look like one another,
Proving even If nobody elts did,
At least they descend from each
other.
The tame ones eat peenuts in cages,
But deep in their jungle lair
They drink the milk out of coco
nuts,
Proving they knew it was there.

Insted of on the ground like a

And they spend their spare time

VERSE OF TODAY
THE SAIL.

Today 1t is as though the rain
Had no beginning in the sky.
Nor touched the earth with its fine train
But like spectre slanted by.
A spectre that the lost wind blows
To errantries that shape its own,
And like sail it swells and goes
And like sail the wind is blown.
The hills their ancient mooring slip,
Thick ropes of mist the old woods trail,
Earth moves, a ghostly-timbered ship,
Behind that urgent, sweeping SAIL
And some perceiving wrath am I.
Who watch from forgotten stand
The shrouded ship of time steal by
A spectral sail in sole command!
