A GOOD ECONOMY MEDIUM.

Whatever may be the merits of the dispute be- tween the Hoover Administration and it's critics anent the reduction of estimates for the Navy Department, there is one method of savings sug- gested by ranking Naval officers to Secretary Adams that ought not to be overlooked shelved where nothing come of it. This is that abandonment or consolidation of various navy yards and shore stations which they assert being maintained chiefly for political reasons be brought about For such establishments there is possible economic defense. Where they exist, the costs of operation and maintenance are simply so much waste of public funds. If we are spending too much money Navy and this is very debatabe proposi- ton the best place to economize is in looping off useless adjuncts. This would be real economy whereas crippling of the American fleets, laying up a portion of them with consequent discharge of personnel, would not only not affect any real saving it would merely add to the serious unem- ployment that is itself of the major national problems of the current times

HILLS BROS' METHOD OF ROASTING COFFEE
 ALWAYS ACCURATE
Patented, Exclusive Process Controlled Roasting-Creates Marvellous, Unvarying Flavor

Just as the accuracy of bewhisk- cred Father Times hour-glass de- bends upon an even, continuous flow .. little at time so the matchless, unvarying flavor of Hills Bros. Coffee is produced by Controlled Roasting - Hills Bros patented process that roasts evenly, continuously C little ct time.
 This continuous process has ad- vantages over ordinary roasting methods. It guarantees a perfect roast for every berry in the blend. Bulk k-roasting doesn't insure such a thing. Sometimes the coffee is roasted right. But frequently, it may be underdone or overdone, with an unpleasant flavor resulting.
 That can't happen to Hills Bros. Coffee! Every pound is developed to perfection -t to the fullest and finest flavor. It is flavor no other coffee has, because no other is roasted the same way.
 Vacuum cans keep Hills Bros. Coffee ever-fresh. Air, which de- stroys the flavor of coffee, is re- moved and kept out of these cans. Even ordinary, "air-tight" cans won't keep coffee fresh. Order Hills Bros. Coffee today. Ask for it by name, and look for the Arab trade mark on the can.

WET-DRY LULU IS ENDED.

Tho nassape of the now famous American Legion resolution for referenda by the several States on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment defnitey marked the end of the comparative lull that hao marked the Wet and Dry debate in the nation for several months That this temporary slencing of the big guns on both sides was due to efforts of political leaders who seeking to side track the question and prevent it from becoming an issue in next years national campaigns seems indisputaole But it couldn't be maintained.
 During the past year 1our great organizations have made definite announcements on Prohibition the American Bar Association, the American Medical Association the American Legion and the American Federation of Labor. The American Federation or Labor refused to vote for repeal but did ask for modification to permit the manufacture and sale Of beer The American Legon's resolution merely asked for referenda but the preamble was definitely as wet as the body of the convention which passed it.
 The stands taken by these four influential or ganizations presented a challenge that the Dry forces not ignoring Professional Drys, whose jobs largely depend upon their activities on behalf Of Prohibition. are seeking to organize the churches of the country with view of bringing pressure upon Congress to prevent any immediate action and to enter the political next year in the several States and Congressional districts to fight the nomination and election of candidates who espouse either modification or repeal pr. rnest H. Cherrington, who is chairman of the board of strategy of the national conference of organizations supporting the Eighteenth Amendment, has outlined what he terms plans for the most far reaching of all programs ever before undertaken by the Drys
 An effort will be made to hold 5000 mass meet ings prior to the holding of the two national conventions of the two big parties next year These are expected to force both parties to write into their platforms dry blanks satisfactory to the Dry organizations. Twenty-Five regional conferences are planned by the w. C. T. U, for next year as part of the program.
 Of course the aim of the professional Dry lead CTS is to frghten the political chieftans of both parties using the churches and subsidiary organi-

zations as a threat against those who endorse either modification or repeal. That their program will sink the churches into politics far deeper than ever before, seems to bother them not at all IhlS is to be regretted The whole country, lay and clergy church, State and private interests, would be far better off if the churches would cast out those who thus debase them, and turn again to the promotion of religious thought and the teachings of Jesus Temperance is rightfuy a part of this, but Prohibition as is, is not and never be.

eurities, the common reply of bank officials to farm applicants has been:
 We have received instructions not to lend anyone money, no mat ter how much farm land he may own or whether it is clear of debt unless he can show liquid assets (usually co m m erci al securities which eadily can be converted into cash" or the directors don't like chattel mortgages and the banking department won't let the bank take them"
 Should the presidents plan be interpreted to liberalize acceptance of farm land and buildings as mort gage security, it is believed there may be fewer foreclosures and less land forced on an unwilling mar ket. It also is thought that banks will not have to cut property ap- praisals so low to gain approval of the examiners that the size of farm loans are almost nil and that in- terest rates to the farmer may de- cline.
 Easier Credit Seen
 In President Hoover's second remedy-federal investment in fed eral land bank stock-agriculture sees the two-fold possibility of cas- fer credit in the future and perhaps the oportunity ot borrow from the government in liquidating indebted ness to private institutions.
 When the federal farm loan act was passed in 1916 with the idea of irving the farmer longtime credit at interest not to exceed per cent, Congress supplied the 12 fedora land banks with a capital of about $9,OOO,OOO.
 Through some 4,600 farm loan associations farmers have retired about 99 2-3 per cent of that stock and invested approximately S66,- 100000 themselves.
 Limited to l per cent profit on he money of investors when loan- ed through affiliated organizations to the farmer, the banks have suf- fered severely in the general de- pression

Advertising Budgets for 1882.
(New York Times.)

tNeW YOrk ImeS)
 Advertising budgets for 1892 up for consideration though it is likely that final decisions will be postponed beyond the usual time for several reasons. The most important of these is the desire to wait and see how business prospects shape up later in the year. The present uncertainty may be followed by developments, it is pointed out, which might upset many carefully devised plans that can not take them into account long as the future is so indefinite
 Two three things clear however, with respect to budget-makng this Fall. One is that many of the careless and high-flown campaigns of the past will be missing in 1882 promotion News papers will probably receive much larger portion of next years advertising because the advertiser will pick the markets offering the best chances of profit and go after them with hard-hitting and timely copy which will secure the most immediate dstibuton results. Retailers not likely to stock as generously as in the past those goods which merely nationally advertised" Action is what will be wanted.
 To get this action. advertisers will have for the first time the important information on markets which is offered by the of retail distrbu- tion Additional market surveys will still be neces- sary, but at least the advertiser can check up on his media and know whether the number of con- reached is in proper proportion to the lm- portance of the market which he desires to cover. Profitess selling has very often in the past been just result of profitess advertising-an attempt to make the advertising good in territory which did not offer the proper possibilities.
 In. conclusion, word might be said for trade advertising which in the high tide of prosperity was sadly neglected thing. Many manufacturer or service organization may have product which would quickly be accepted by distributors if he got his story to them in these days when those distributors are as anxious as others to find thing to sell in which there is profit.

UNIFORM FLAVOR
 IN COFFEE DEPENDS UPON THE ROASTING
Hills Bros. Insure Uniformity by Their Patented, Con-
 tinuous Process

Coffee experts agree that blend alone, regardless of quality, will not produce a perfect cup of coffee. In the roasting of the blend lies the secret of perfect flavor.
 The common method of roasting coffee in bulk falls short in develop ing flavor, because it is not possible to roast every berry evenly. Real izing this, Hills Bros, after years of experimenting, discovered and patented a continuous process of roasting coffee a little at time.
 Control is the watchword of this process. The quantity of coffee passing into the roaster does not vary. The speed of operation and temperature remain the same with the result that Hills Bros. Coffee is absolutely uniform. This process, fittingly called Controlled Roast ing" gives a flavor in the cup that no other coffee has.
 Hills Bros. Coffee never "goes stale" because it is packed in vacuum cans. Ordinary cans, even if air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh because air, which destroys the flavor of coffee, is inside. By the vacuum process, air is taken out of the can and kept out. Hills Bros. Coffee is sold everywhere by gro- cers. Ask for it by name and look for the Arab-the trade-mark-on the can.

as gifts; and for mounting and re- turn, they may ship trophies legally acquired instead of only those they have themselves legally killed, as heretofore.
 Another change establishes a new schedule of license fees for fur dealers, and more clearly defines the manner of keeping records of furs purchased.
 Under another provision, Post masters and Customs officers are now authorized to administer oaths to applicants for licenses. This provision will permit persons living in localities remote from commun- ities where Game Wardens or Licensing Officers of the Commis- sioL reside, to subscribe to the ap- plications for licenses before local Postmasters.
 The definitions of game animals and birds protected under the Alaska Game Law have been enlarged to incclude buffalo an other mammals and pheasants and other birds that may be introduced and planted within the Territory.
 In transmitting the new Circular No. 8, the Commission again invites interested persons to write the Executive Office any constructive criticisms or recommendations they may have. The response to this invitation in past years has been generous, and the letters are of material assistance to the Commis sion in it's work The limited per sonnel of the Executive Office has not permitted the writing of per sonal letter of acknowledgment of every letter received, but each in dividual who writes is assured that his letter will receive the attention of the Commission at it's next an- nual meeting.
