Then the at tempt will be made to effect a practi cal and economical basis of prepared ness, by the placing of small annual educational orders for army and navy supplies with establishments scattered throughout the country, and by the en rolling of skilled workmen in an in dustrial reserve in time of peace, with a view to keeping labor on the job in the event of war.

A rudimentary knowledge of poke is essential to "efliciency" in journalism although it is a same that the laity should beware of. The tech nical terms of the game have become the colloquial expressions of philan thropists, philosophers, statesmen andl even pulpiteers. The "square deal" of the dear Colonel would be of no sig niflicance were it not for the saturation of the American language with them. Occasionally we hear eloquent parsons in the midst of hortatory appeal ex claim that some decision or other is "up to" the congregation. The New berry Observer is among newspapers unique. It is the only effective news paper published that has never learned the principles of the game. Curiously, however, it has absorbed much of its wisdom and one is driven to suspect that its editor is one of those rare men endowed with an instinctive under stanintg oif it-a 1(01(er player' horn who tias nuevetr played.
