Most of us see ieverything except the obvious. That’s why it’s ‘so hard to find anything “right under your nose,” lor which “If it had teeth, would bit you.” 5 BANZAI! | Let’s look into the Japanese budget. Of all |money spent by Japanese government in the last |fiscal year, 27 per cent went for navy, 16 per cent ifor army. Education got about three and a quar- ter per cent. ; ' That’s the story, all over the world—war hog- iging the trough, educatéon forced to exist on jscraps. ( j | Most governments are war corporations, toler- lating peace just long enough to accumulate funds ifor another war. Ours differs. That’s why iwe're trying to make the world disarm with us. | HUSBANDS CHRISTMAS — ~ tree, warns the state college of forestry at Syra- cuse, N. Y. This is particularly true whete can- dles have to be used instead of electric lights. Better have Santa Claus leave a bucket of water handy to the Christmas tree, also a blanket to wrap the children in, to smother flames if their! clothes catch fire. Santa, lover of ‘all kiddies, wil second the motion. If truth be known, he prob- _ ably wears asbestos whiskers. SOLD , That famous horse, seized in a bootleg raid near Boston 15 months ago and kept at government | expense ever since, will be sold at auction. A judge so orders, thus ending a monumental piece : of official waste. : While under arrest, the horse ate his head off, expected to bring $50. When his buyer leads him forth, dobbin can ponder the $650 deficit and com- fort himself with the knowledge that the taxpay- ers also Rave been “sold.” : BABY ® Young women, studying the. science of house- wife-ism at University of Maine, are rearing a five-months-old baby, for practical training. This idea should be ‘extended, to include every ‘“ orphan baby and waif: Young women of leisure, | bored with talking to vacuum-headed young men, would find unlimited diversion and much useful knowledge by forming Baby Adoption Clubs. ‘ ees, (HISTORIES, y Mayor ‘Hylan, of New York, orders an invest: gation of school history textbooks. He heard that some of the latest histories air charges such as that one of the signers of Declaration of Inde-| pendence was a smuggler. Digging up such charges, true or not, is side- tracking the commendable movement for history revision. Individuals’ weaknesses are side-issues, without historical significance, and should be buried with him. In revising history, stick to elimination of most of the record of destruction and play up construction like invention and en- gineering. CHICKENS : Now that the shoe is pinching tightly, thou- sands of city men again are dreaming of moving to the country to raise chickens. z Sdbstantial poultry houses can be built from $1.50 to $2.50 a chicken, including labor, says a government bulletin. Do the work yourself. Materials will cost $1 to $1.50 a head.” | Add the cost of live chickens, farm and farm-, house, also a vehicle for marketing. Is there anything a man can do to make himself independent,: without capital? Apparently not. Individual capital, fruit of thrift, remains tHe blood of success. : MIKADO ~ The greatest spendthrift in history was Cali- gula, Roman emperor. Finally he went altogther mad, got into the national treasury and,shoveled gold to the delighted populace until some radical slipped a dagger into him Extravagance has dethroned more monarchs than any other cause. 3 — Not so in Japan. Out of every 10,000 yen spent by the Japanese government, only 34 yen go to the imperial household. The Mikado family must be posted.on history. QUEBEC .

They are presented, here in order that our readers may have both sides of important iseucs which are being discussed in the press of the day. - MUST WE STARVE? i. The wheat market has its usual two sides at pres- ent although it is peculiarly difficult for dealers to see more than one. The man who sees both does jnothing, as a rule, for they balance each other. The man who ean see only one side is in a position to| ‘take a chance and make or mar his fortune. Just | ‘now the bullish conditions are very bullish ‘and peo- ple who see that side clearly are committing them-) jselves heavily to the advaneing side of prices. There jare some who see the other side and are equally ccr- tain that fortune is to be found in selling. On the |side-of the lattey are several facts that cannot be ;questioned., One is the existence of a heavy supply. ‘Points of accumulation are loaded up with wheat. There are large supplies at seaboard and interior | Positions. There is ng question about the largeness of the supply. Next in importance is the demand and this is unquestionably small. These two con- ditions are present and pressing. “Phe wheat is here |waiting a purchaser who is in no hurry to come, and this makes for-lower prices. 4 ( On the at her hand is a great deal of theory leonvineing, but not pressing for immediate atten-| tion. Statisticians figure that the world’s supply ! of wheat is very short, so short that someone is likely, to go hungry between the old\and the new ierops. If these figures are approximately correct, and there are many students of the situation. who indorse them to the limit, there has seldom Been an| outlook so bullish as that of the next: few months, but there are considerations that may have been overlooked. It is customary to assume a certain’! per capita consumption, but. the ordinary. figures in| ‘this line are of no value this year, owing to the jgreat ceonomy practiced in the use of bread. Bakers say consumption is almost eut in’two as compared with the business don: in good. times. and this is} \supported by statements of the millers. Apother! point to be considercgl is the sweeping up of the Jast contents of the bins. At the end of a short erop millions of bushels of wheat aie brought to the sur- iface by the active need that would not have been ‘heard of had the crap | ws, If statisti- cians leave out these two considerations their con: jclusions will fall far short of correctness. -We have! heard this ery of “wolf” often and lived to find | \plenty of food. This season may be the exeeption. In many ways it is an exceptional “one. India, | jusually Needer, is now depending on other coun- tries for wheat. Russia is‘out of it and over on the | quantities of Australian and Canadian grain, all helps for the bull, but on’ the other hand is the poverty of the chief buyers jand the,Jow value of their money.

D.,, Dec. 20.— Jacob Kruger, one of the pioneer settlers of the southeastern part of Logan cgun- ty and one, of our most respected. citizens, ended his own life shortly af- ter breakfast Thursday morning at his farm near Fre¢@nia by -hanging him: self in one of his barns. No reason has been assigned for the deceased’s act of taking his own lite, other than that he had been in poor health the past year-and very nervous. Two years ago he bought some land e adverse conditions he is said to have been worrying about his debts. He had never had debts before and was con- siderably disturbed. because he -could not readily. meet his obligations. In the absence of Coroner Laney from the county, Sheriff Balezer went to Fredonia to investigate the case. The sheriff is an old friend of the de here by the latter two weeks ago. Jacob Kruger was‘a brother of Karl A. Kruger, both of whom came t):Lo- gan county over 30 years ago. They were natives of Bessarabia, Russia.

Shoreditch, Eng., Dec. 20.— “Ask APPLICATIONS OF SERVICE MEN, FOUND FAULTY Many, Delays Traced To Lack of Information Declare Government Men Minneapolis, Minn., Dec. 20.—Delay in adjusting many claims of former service men by the Veterans Bureau is due, in a large measure to lack of essential information supplied by the former soldiers in their applications, according to C, D. Hibbard, district manager for the territory. of Minne- sota, Nofth and South Dakota and: ‘Montana, of the Federal Board for Vo- vational Education, wh has head- quarters here, Much criticism ol alleged dilatory tactics of the government in adjust- ing claims has been filed and inves- tigation has proved many of these complaints regulted from failure of tho, claimant to supply the desired infor- mation, he said. ie “An application fir compensation or ‘vocational training must be pro- perly executed and filed before the burcau is authorized to consider tho claim,” declared Mr. Hibbard in urg- ing ex:service men to take more time in preparing their applications. “By. properly executing the appli- cation is meant that the claimant must answer the questions , asked, must ‘sigh his name, and- have the same ackrowledged before someone authorized 1p take acknowledgments, and:in addition to this must have the signature of two persons who are ac- quainted with the claimant, as wit- nesses. Must Submit Discharge “The second and most important feature, is ‘that the claimant must submit an honorable discharge from the United States military or naval forces or a certified copy. thereof.” Mr, ‘Hibbard added ‘that. the certi- ' fication ghould be made by an official ei Mowefod to’ acknowledge oaths. ‘The clalmant must also be able to trace his alledged disability to the ser- vice, or at least p:ove that his condi- tion was aggravated because of his having been in the service, he said. Affidavits. of those who were asso- ciated with the applicant in the ser- vice, or by those who knew of his physical’condition previous to his en- trance into the government forces, and after his discharge, would be a valuable help as proof. If affidavits of former service companions cannot be procured, others will be deemed sufficient if they cover the period of time between the man’s discharge and the commencing of the alledged disa- bility, Mr. Hibbard further stated. Where the claimant does not fully understand the instructions, commun- ication with the’ Veterans’ . bureau promised. : MINOT NIGHT ‘SCHOOL, T0 OPEN Minot, N.- D.,“Dec. 20.—The Minot night school will open’on January 9 and indications are that the attend- ance will be fully.as large as during the two preceding years. a J.

The night schools everywhere are doing great good. Foreigners are given an opportunity to learn to read and write.- With night schools held about the state, it will be but a shoft time until our ten thousand illiterates will have vanished and our state placed. in’ the 100 per cent dlass. ‘Many. practical courses will be of- four wife to keep quiet,” Judge Cluer' fered such as gas enginecring, manual told a defendant in a court action. “Ij training, and domestic science. ‘Those would much rather you did jt,” replied who: were preparing tosbecome citi- ‘YES, MRS MERCHANT, CHRISTMAS, SHOPPING CARLY.
