The east! with which aviators can drop (lummy bombs on dummy ships and l'orts gives us some idea of what would happen in war if real bombs were dropped on real ships and fortresses. In all probability, as a result of these successful experiments, we are on the eve of a radical change in naval and military construction. If a bomb dropped upon the deck of a $12,000,000 battle-ship from im aeroplane can destroy that ship or put it out of the lighting line, then the days of such ships are Hearing an end. No government would be foolish enough to squan der so much money and throw away the lives of a crew of a thous and men. Such a change as above indicated tild be hailed as a welcome re ■f in every land where the tax iyers are staggering under the load of tremendous taxation which international rivalry and jealous} imposes upon them. Indeed, it well may lie, that suoh a change may usher in the day of universal peace, for horrible as warfare on sea and land is, aerial warfare would be even more revolting. How much belter for the tax payer, for the prosperity of a conn try and for mankind in general, if tlie money now annualy spent for war-ships, which in a few year s become obsolete, were spent upon schools, technical training and oth er tilings that make fof human good. The Sugar. Standard Oil and oth er indicted trusts stand to gain temporarily by the death of Cldef Justice Fuller, especially coming as it did, «o soon after the death of Justice Bower, because it will mean a postponement of their eases. The public cannot but regret this enforced delay as it may make the possibility of conviction more difficult. But ultimately justice will be done even though it may take years to secure it. The Dairy Industry of The United States. According to the last year book of the Department of Agriculture there are 21,720,000 milch cows in the United States, and these are worth 8702,945,000.00. The mag nitude of the industry can perhaps be best understood when it is con sidered that these cows produce yearly about 81,000,000,0 0.00 worth of dairy products. There is no other branch of di versified agriculture so important to the progress of a community. The fertility of the soil can best be maintained by the liberal use of barnyard manure and the dairy herd not only makes this possible, but dairying is also more remuner ative than other branches of farm ing when properly carried on. Dairying has made wonderful progress since the advent of the modern creamery and the consumer of butter has not only been bene fitted but the wife in the farm home has been relieved of the drudgery incident to making but | ter on the farm. Where formerly I the cream was ripened and churned | into butter under conditions not conducive to line quality in the finished produce and in the major ity of cases by unskilled hands, 1 now the most of the milk or cream i is delivered to a modern creamery j where conditions are suited to the purpose of making butter, and the result has been a wonderful im provement in the quality of our dairy products. As the quality has improved consumption has increased and the progress of dairy ing has been remarkable during the past decade. The perpetuity of the country's greatness depends upon increasing the production of farm products from year to year, a result which not only furnishes our people with food but maintains the prosperity of our fanning communities. In crease in production can only come through considering that the dairy cow is the foundation for soil im provement and farming prosperity, her importance is best understood and interest in her should not be con lined to her owner. She is an important factor in the development and prosperity of our country. SONESTOWN The friends of Airs. ('. I).

While spending the winter in Geor gia, before his Inauguration as Presi dent, Mr. Taft went to the city of Athens to deliver an address to the students of the University of Georgia. He met a member of the faculty—a staunch Democrat —who s'aid: "Judge, I voted the Democratic ticket, but wanted to see you win." Judge Taft replied: "You remind me of the story of Brer Jasper and Brer Johnson, who were both deacons In the Shilo Baptist Church, although avowed enemies. "Brer Jasper died and the other deasons told Brer Johnson he must say something good about the de ceased on Sunday night. At tirst he declined, but finally consented. "Sunday night, when time for the eulogy arrived, he arose slowly and said: 'Brederen and Sisteren, I prom ised ter say sump'n good 'bout Deacon Jasper to-night, an' I will say we all hopes he's gone whar we knows he ain't."—Uncle Remus' Magazine.
