The errnan mark has slightly regained consciousness, hut is far from being a convalescent. After all, it doesn't matter so much what tin? powers do under sea if they do nothing underhand. That college profissr vln pronounces dictionaries untrustworthy must have guessed wrong. Tiie cities have such a drag on the youth of the farms hecause farm life is Mich a drag on the young. The N'orth pole Is reported sixty feet out of position and it's difficult to R"t a imm up there to fix It. The emblem on tin? new silver dollar will lc a broken sword, but It irt5;.i.t be a broken pocket book. In Europe nowadays a kin; is so Insignificant because the people have raised the deuce over everything. Winter lias its compensations. We don't have to listen to the fellow who says the way to keep cool is to keep cool. The warrant served on the man who is charged with the theft of an nlrptanc probably was served by a fly cop. A judge says marriages are altogether too easy. If he refers merely to the license and ceremony he's right. TJie invention of n daylight movie machine may assist in squelching the man behind who re:ls all the captions it loud. There is no deiintte Information to contradict the impression that the original inhabitants of the Island of Yap continue to remain strictly neutral.

About -ÖO members were registered at the convention. IVIersburg. Pike county farmers are holding their wheat and corn for higher prices. Wheat is in tine condition for next year's crop, and the extreme cold : weather has greatly benefited corn in j cribs, drying It out and keeping it from molding. Feeding of live stock has almost doubled in Pike county since the price of corn went down, and every farmer has a large drove of hogs or cattle that he is feeding, and many farmers have douhkt! ami tripled their droves of hogs, which they are fattening for the spring markets.

Another appeal to land owners along the state highways to move their fences so as to widen the road right of way to 50 feet was made in letters sent out by Lawrence Lyons, director of the state highway commission. .State engineers will set sialics for tiie new fence linos. Mr. Lyons put emphasis on the benefit land owners receive from a state road passing their farm. His letter, in part, i-aid : "Many people are not so fortunate as to live upon a stale road which will be made a good road in the near future. ,ct they pay the same taxes as those who front on a state highway. Therefore, we do not think it unfair for those who are to benefit most by tin road to co-operate to the extent of furnishing a place to build it." Indianapolis. A new tliseae is prevalent in Indianapolis, Dr. Herman (i. Morgan, secretary of the city board of health, announced. The disease, which is not serious, resembles mumps so closely in its symptons that si number of physicians have diagnosed cases of the affliction as mumps- only to learn later that they were mistaken and that quarantine orders that had been issued should be rescinded. The disease. Doctor Morgan said, is an unusual form of adenitis, which is an intlammation of the glands of the neck. The patient's throat swells and t lit? muscles of the neck become stiff, while the scalp becomes sensitive and ten- J der. The disease is accompanied by I sore throat. It usually passes in live or six days, but It is transmissable, Doctor Morgan snH. Indianapolis. The Indiana Electric corporation petitioned the public service commission for authority to issue .S'.otHM0 worth of stocks and bonds to finance a power plant it says it will build on the Wabash river in the Vino county coal field. The company tiled another petition in which it asked permission to reduce to s-n n , . the Js'UHMU' worth of common stock which it requested' authority to issue in a consolidation petition now pcntling before the commls' sum.

Auxiliary Naval Craft in Time of War

NAVAL oflicials are urging that President Harding and the shipping board. In submitting a ship subsidy program to congress, develop a scheme which will encourage the construction ami maintenance of vessels which can lie used as auxiliary l'aval craft In time of war. Considerations Involved in the national defense may cause the administration to approve the formula for determining the amount of subsidy to be paid a ship owner which is favored by naval experts, rather than the formula approved by the American merchant marine joint committee, made up of ship owners, operators, and builders. The American merchant marine joint committee. In its recommendations submitted to the ship subsidy conference, held under the aiispi'-es of the shipping board, urged that the subsidy be paid under the (Salllnger plan of so much a gross ton a year, and that the faster passenger ships be encouraged by means of a postal subvention. The fi'aliinger plan, which was approved by the congressional commission headed by the late Senator flallinger in 1100. was one of .the three alternatives suggested In the prellmSenators From Utah . r-z? c Tili: bill (II. P. liJJ) tt'udd certain lands to Mount McKinley National park. Alaska, came up before the senate the other day. The purpose is to add lands on the east of the park to Include breeding territory of the wild game and to bring the park nearer to the government railroad, now Hearing completion. Then ensued this between the two senators from Ftah : Mr. King Mr. President. I am insympathy with the general purpose of this bill. btit I "desire to prepare Jin amendment so that under certain conditions and restrictions mineral exploration may be permitted. As the law now reads, lands that art' withdrawn and attached to national parks may not be prospected under any condition for minerals, and this land, according to the information which I have, might be prospected without Elaborate Plan for F1IOM Chicago to President Hardin?

The plan rails for "a conference of all the civilized nations to be railed for the creation and coditicatioii of international law: the eode to contain, anion? other things, the following: The further use of war as an institution for the settlement of international disputes shall be abolished. War between nations shall be declared to be a punlle crime punishable by the law of nation. War shall be defined in the code rind the right of defense against actual or imminent attack shall be preserved.

The government's beer confiscations totaled ö.MV.0t0 gallons, with -jno.ttOO gallo;. s of wine and 440.000 gallons of distilled spirit seized. Tiie most valuable property was seized in Florida, while S2.!TVO.00t worth of "booze" and paraphernalia (including - distilleries) fell into the hand of the go, eminent. New York ran a close ccond with $1,4.'0.000 worth of property seized. Ohio led in tiie number of citizens arrested. Approximately 3.S00 Ohioan were arrested during the year, while .V00 were arrested In New York. Illinois ranked third In arrests with Ü.Ö0O. with Massachusetts fourth with 2.2tH. and Texas next with 2,000. California and Missouri followed In order with about 1,'JOo arrests. The most beer was seized in fJeorgia. where agents confiscated 1,400,000 gallons. North Carolina was seond and Virginia third. inary recommendations . of the committee of experts appointed by the shipping board. Of the other two alternatives proposed by the experts. one contemplated reimbursement on the basis of 3:i 1-3 per cent of the sea wages paid to officers and crew who are American citizens. The other proposed a differential based on a combination of speed, tonnage and distance covered, or. in other words, the payment of a certain number of cents a gross ton for each 100 miles steamed in the foreign trade. Compilations which have been made ! by the shipping board experts Indicate j the need or about 100 ships in the American merchant marine suitable for naval auxiliaries. At present there are only about forty such ships. Agree to Disagree any interference with the scenic beauties or the legitimate purposes for which the national park was organized. If my colleague will let the bill go over, I shall be obliged to him. Mr. Smoot The general land offi'O is now engaged in marking out the boundaries of the park. The senator knows tho condition in Alaska. The men are there already to do the work, and if this is mit accomplished ami the whole survey made by the latter part of .Inno, It will have to go over .igain. Mr. King I know my colleague and I entertain the same views as to the right to mine. If It can be done without interfering with the legitimate purposes of the park, and I am sun that the oflicials of the Interior department, with such little aid as I may give, can work out a plan that will be satisfactory. Mr. Smoot This is a department bill. It was sent to me, to be introduced, and, of course, the department makes a favorable report upon it. There was a favorable report made upon it once before. It Is a 'house bill, and passe I the house without any opposition whatever. Mr. King said he would call the attention of the department to it Immediately. And the bill was passed over.
