Entered at Richmond, Ind., Postoffice As Second Class Mall Matter. THE PEACE PROBLEM. Just at this time when the mild mannered diplomats at The Hague are wrestling with the problem of a world wide peace and the doing away with war, the wide awake countries of the earth are most surely bringing about that more or less Utopian ideal by vastly Increasing their armaments. England has ordered another battleship of the famous Dreadnaught type. Germany is building three more armourer cruisers and two more battleships, IJrazii Is increasing her rather small navy and the United States is in the field for two more large battleships. Furthermore the United States is go ing to try to prove the axiom that a large navy Is the surest guarantee of peace, by sending an enormous fleet to the Pacific ocean, and experimenting as to whether this will be sufficient to make the Japanese keep their hands off the Philippines and the Hawaiian Islands. And that serves as a reminder that Japan Is also greatly strengthening her navy and is said to have two of the largest battleships in the world about ready to be launched.' Japan's anxiety to get a great navy is not believed to be so much in the interest of peace as of conquest. It is felt that her two successful wars, the war with China and the war with Russia, have turned her head away from the paths of peace and set her to looking for territorial Increases from her neighbors' possessions. It is encouraging to see Bra zil increasing her navy as that means a stronger ally for the United States in maintaining the principles of the Monroe doctrine. If congress proves true to the country it will provide for a new navy to take the place of the fleet we are sending to the Pacific. Our navy is not for war but for guaranteeing peace. We need a large navy to do this, because, owing to our extremely long coastline on the Atlantic as well as on the Pacific, we have many important points to defend. And if any designing nation like Japan, for instance, realizes that we have a navy capable of defending both our Atlantic and Pacific coastlines, as well as large enough to assume the offensive in foreign qufrters, the danger of war would be reduced to a minimum. It Is up to congress, however, to enable us to bring this about by greatly strengthening aur navy. WATSON'S RETIREMENT. Mr. Watson's retirement from sixth district politics seems to have set a merry ball rolling. From all appearances the crop of candidates for congress, announced and prospective, will rival the corn crop. Wayne county has two prospectives in Charles E. Shlveley and Wilfred Jessup. Conaersville has two in Francis Roots and State Senator Moore. New Castle has Judge IJarnard, Greenfield has William Hough, Liberty has Charles W. Stivers and Brookvil'e has Charles Jones. Just a few more days of political sunshine and these budding canjidatcs will blossom out over the dis trict. ac'i with his mue taie oi wny ht fa best oualififd to serve the old Durnt di?rirt - --isress. ;1 DROP REP-KT3 FAVORABLE. 8 Indicate Heavy Purchases in the Ag ricultural Districts. w a a! -a 2.

SAYS DUTY IS SHIRKED.

HE WANTS AN UP-TO-DATE CHURCH AND STIRS THE FRIENDS WITH AN ATTACK ON PRESENT METHODS. Plalnfield, Ind., Sept. 19 The young men of the Friends church were severely censured by John Kendall of Danville Wednesday in the closing ses sion of the Western Yearly Meeting of Friends. Mr. Kendall Intimated that the young people liked to shirk their duties and that the older men and women were doing most of the work. Under the head of unfinished business Mr. Kendall also made an attack upon the present method of transacting church business in the yearly meeting, declaring that it is not up to date or business-like. After quoting the old adage that "Brevity is the soul of wit," he said: "If I may be permitted to make a suggestion to the society I will say I believe we need In these meetings a little more of the soul of wit." Convention Is Busy. The closing session of the annual assembly was held Wednesday afternoon. A large amount of business was transacted by this assembly, which was one of the busiest in recent years. During the last year the church, all over the world, has received a considerable increase in mem bership and the growth of the various departments of church work has been encouraging. Wednesday afternoon a devotional meeting was held In the Dig tent These devotional meetings of which three were held during the meeting, were one of the new features introduc ed at this assembly and have proved very popular with the delegates. It is probable that they will be one of the regular features of future yearly meet ings. , Send Reports Abroad.

'a! ;a; ia 9 A snort time ago I was called to a patient who had been given up by his physician. His stomach would not bear food.and consequently he got no nourishment and was slowly dying from exhaustion. He was reduced to skin and bones. I immediately put him on Grape-Nuts food and I'ostum Food Coffee. He could keep' both articles on his stom ach and neither caused him any pain. He has been using both the food and the cereal coffee and has gained rapid ly." The reason a delicate stomach can take Grape Nuts food is that it is predigested by natural means during its preparation, and even a small babe can handle it as it causes no heavy work by the stomach and digestive apparat us; on the contrary, being predigested, it is quickly assimilated into blood and tissue. Grape-Nuts as well as Postum Fdod Coffee contains elements selected from the grains of the field that are of first importance to the human body in nour ishing and rebuilding it.

An Interesting anecdote of the youth of John Davy, who composed "the famous song "The liny of Riscay," shows how decided and precocious was this musician's aptitude for the art he ultimately pj-ncticcd with artistic If not financial success. John Davy was born near Exeter in 17(T. At the age of six he evinced a passion for music, which he sought every means of gratifying iic m n uui, vi .i mutual jumi ument and determined to provide him self with one of however roigh a nature. So from a neighboring smithy he purloined twenty to thirty horseshoes. From these he selected as many as formed a complete octave and, hav ing suspended them in an upper room. amused himself by Imitating upon them the chimes of the neighboring church of Crediton. By these and other means he obtain ed a knowledge of music which some thirty years later enabled him to produce many dramatic pieces and such songs as "Just Like Love," "The Death of the Smuggler" and "The Bay cf Biscay," only the last of which has remained popular. After twenty years Trork in London Davy died in St. Martin's lane in 1824. He was buried in St. Martin's church yard. London Chronicle. Flowerpots. All new flowerpots require to be soaked in water and allowed to dry thoroughly before being used. The 60il does not Lang well to the sides of gar den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots are open to the same objection. Let any one try to put a plant with fresh soil into a pot which has been used before and left unwashed, and he will find in a few days, when the soil be gins to dry, that it leaves a space and does not adhere as it should to the sides of it. No riant can possibly flourish under such circumstances. The roots of a plant draw to the sides of a pot naturally in search of moisture. aud growth of course is checked If a current of air is allowed to pass between them and the sides. Some plants exhibit this tendency in such a remark able degree that few roots are to be seen, except a network on the outside of the soil next the pot. Digestible Food. One of the biggest mistakes about food which people make is to forget that the true value of food to anybody is the measure of Its digestibility. Half a pound of 'cheese is vastly more nourishing as regards Its mere composition than half a pound of beef, but while the beef will be easily digested and j thus be of vast service to ns the cheese Is put out of court altogether for ordinary folks by reason of its indigestibility. We should bear this rule in mind when we bear people comparin; one food with another la respect to their chemical value. London Hospi-

- SUGGESTION TO TEACHERS.

CORRELATION OF THE SCHOOL WORK WITH THAT OF THE COM MUNITY ITSELFSCHOOL A PART OF LIVING. In the first of a series of bulletins to be issued during the school year by Fassett A. Cotton, state superintendent of Public instruction, concerning agrl culture in the public schools of the state, Mr. Cotton elaborates on the ag ricultural scheme of work laid out by the state board of education In the first three years of school life Mr. Cotton suggests that the attempt should be made to familiarize the children with the common things about them farm animals, crops, etc. and to require them to talk clearly and simply about them. In the fourth and fifth years Mr. Cot ton thinks that geography and agriculture should be correlated. Soils comm0n to a community should be noticed and the crops that grow on the different soils. Simple weather conditions should be noted frosts, rain, etc. Textbook for Sixth Year. In the sixth year a textbook in agriculture Is provided. Working with the text, Mr. Cotton suggests that concrete examples of the text should be used bugs, worms, bees, wasps, etc It would be easy, for example, to show the life history of the different kinds of Insects. The birds and the wild quadrupeds should be watched by the pupils also, The early work of the seventh year dealing with the growth of plants, should be mastered very, carefully, in Mr. Cotton's ODlnion. The increase. or at least the conservation, of the soil's fertility comes as part of the work of this year also, 'and compara tive studies may be made of soils of different farms around the community. Rotation of crops and the reason for it comes in as part of this seventh year work, too. Experimental Work. The eighth year work is similar to that of the seventh, exceot that it - . - deals more particularly with the seed seed selection, seed scoring, etc. At this time all experimental work that v ij f ,.v, ij v tau. uc uunmru m "iu vamci uu school gardens, but also by the lndividual pupils at their homes. The high school work in agriculture should be taken in connection with tha physical geography and physics. A collection and a classification of the soils, the merits of spring and fall treatment of soils, tillage implements and tillage operations all of these should be taken u pin the high schools those of the city as well as those of the country and small towns This first bulletin urges the Cotton Idea correlation of school work with that of the community itself, the school life with the community life. Mr. Cotton contends that going to schools is a part of living, ordinary, everyday living. and that it is not a thing apart. 6MITH. A Daring Young Adventurer With a Thrilling Carear. Captain John Smith of Willoughby, Lincolnshire, was the man to whom the success of the first English permanent settlement in North America was directly due. Though only twenty-six when the expedition sailed with him on board, he had already enjoyed such a succession of thrilling experiences as was the lot of few men even in the adveuturous age of Elizabeth. At the age of sixteen he had entered on a military career in France and the LowCountries. In 1G00 he sought service against the Turks, who wre then at the height of their power and had only lately ceased to threaten Vienna itself. On the way to the east he was thrown overboard as a Huguenot and was rescued by a pirate, from whom his inexhaustible resourcefulness enabled him to escape after a time. He then entered the Austrian service and soon signalized himself by a series of brilliant exploits One of these, the defeat of three Turk ' ish champions In single fight, earnef' him his well known coat of arnif "three Turks' head in a shield," frotr Sigismond Bathiri. prince of Tran?y! vania. Later he was taken prisoner lr. the Turks and owed his escape to ih: interest with which he inspired a Turk ish lady. "Whatever might happen. as Gardiner says, "he was always n')' to turn it to account. In the worst daa gers he knew what was the right thin;.to be done." Londoa Outlook. Labor of Ants. It would perhaps be pushing meta phors to an unwarranted extreme to speak of "dignity of labor" in cunnec tion with the occupations of ants. Rut if by the phrase we mean that lalwr is the honorable lot of all citizens and that all labors of whatever fr-J.re upon the same level of respectability then we might venture to apply the saying even to the labors of an ant hill. For therein all are workers, from the newly fledged callow to the veteran of a second summer. Harper's Magazine. Nothing. A cockney tourist who had Invaded Ireland was trying his hand at chaffing a native. "Pat," said he, "what is the meaning of the word nothlng?" "Sure, I can't explain it, but ye'll find it in the place where your braids usbt to be!"

Brookville, Ind.. Sept. 10. When the republican nomination for congress from this district was to be made tea years ago, C. F. Jones was slated for the honor. Mr. Jones turned his Influence and following to James Watson, for the reason that he thought that there was a slim chance of beating Holman, and that he thought it was the duty of a good party man to do all in his power to gain honorable success. Xow, when Watson is leaving congress and the district has been so redistricted as to make it a stronghold, Mr.

Jones' friends are urging him to enter the race. He is attorney for the Spanish war claims commission and has just arrived here on his vacation. SUGAR MAKING. The Hindoo Probably Learned the Art From tbe Chinese. The Chinese, who invented almost everything before anybody else beard of it, claim to be the original discoverers of the process of sugar making, and it is said that sugar was used In China as long ago as 3,000 years. This Is misty, but the fact is well established that it was manufactured in China under the Tsin dynasty 200 years at least before the Christian era began. India has put forward a claim for priority of invention, but the probability is that the Hindoos learned the art of sugar making from the Chinese and that through them the knowledge finally spread to the western nations. Nearchus, when sent by Alexander on an exploring voyage on the Indus, brought back reports of "honey" which was made by the Asiatics from cane with out the help of bees. At this time neither tbe Greek nor the Jews aor the Babylonians had auy knowledge of sugar, but later the art of making the artificial "honey" be came known and practiced, though its progress and development were exceedingly slow. It was prescribed as a medicine by Galen in A. D. 100, and up to the seventeenth century it had become nothing more than a costly luxury, to be used only on special occa sions. Even as late as the beginning of the eighteenth century the annual consumption of sugar in Great Britain had reached only 20,000.000 pounds, whereas It is now more than 2,000,000,000 pounds. Refined sugar was not made In England till 1CS9. Tbe art of refining was learned by a Venetian merchant from the Saracens, who sold the secret to him for 100.000 crowns. A Cliorrb Without Sei-rlces. There is In London, within a few yards of the beautiful marble arch in Hyde park, a church In which no services are ever held. This Church of the Ascension, as It is called, was built by Mrs. Kusseil Gurney as a memorial to her husband, and she expressly stated that the edifice was to be used for prayer, rest and meditation folely. A handsome building it is. with its tessellated floors and its numerous fine paintings. Over the door is posted this noiice, explaining the true object of the church: "Passengers through the busy streets of London, enter this sanctuary for rest and silence and prayer. Iet the pictured walls within speak of the past yet ever continuing ways of God with renn." Yon needn't suffer with sicTt liea3acTie.

The Pennsylvania is now engaged In reducing the grade at the famous Iilue Hill between this city and Columbus, O., on the Indianapolis division of the road. The immense amount of work to be done on the grade can be estimated when it is known that the work cannot be completed in less than one year's time. Eleven work trains with their crews are engaged at the present time. The job Is one of the largest attempted by the engineers of the Indianapolis division in several years. BEATS ALL RECORDS.

BIDS ARE RECEIVED. The Pennsylvania has received bids for the erection of a seven-span steel truss bridge across the west branch of the Susquehanna at IJnden, on the Philadelphia and Erie division, to replace the present covered wooden structure erected at the tlmo the road was built. The new bridge will be 1,128 feet long and SO feet above low water. The piers and abutments will be erected for two tracks while the steel sup erstructure, for the present, will be for only a single track. The award of the contract Is held tip pending the receipt of permission from the water commission of Pennsylvania to build the bridge. Sir V. S.
