Tna Mischief Starts.
It was after Slim had hit the hay
mumbling soinothing about, "I'll got
youae SOME duck." that Dick and hia
brother began their labors. They work
ed through the night operating on every
shell that Slim possessed, cutting- them
open, extracting the shot, stuffing them
with cottcn and putting them back to
gether again.
Pawn rame and the three started out.
They reached the river where all ex
cept the channel was ice. Above they
heard the wierd chorus of a great flock
of ducks that suddenly performed a tail
spin and shot down towards the water.
Slim confidently raised his big modern
shot sun.
A hundred ducks were within easy
rrnge, presenting a target as big as a
barn.
DANG! bang: ',
Flim gazed in astonishment. Not a
duck fell. Dick and his brother shot j
and were rewarded with the slaughter
or as many ducks as one man could
carry.

Mini tried it again and again. He be
came silnet about his skill and wore a
troubled air. The others killed ducks
until they had enough.

"Try and see if you ran hit that log.

rustic cuss words to the stock and kick

next day after a sleepless night of
puzzled meditation that Slim had an In
spiration. He took from his cartridge

cointamed only powder and cotton.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR.
It has been Hammond's most proper-
ous j ear in a business way with every
body employed at good wages. But it
has been a year of sadness In many
homes where mothers mourn for hove
who gave their lives for the country or
where the ravages of, the influenta have
left sorrow. Hundreds of new graves at
Oak Hill cemetery testify to the heavy
toil of influenza and pneumonia and evi
dence of the fact that the flu has not
left the community can be seen in the
column of death notices today.

"WASHINGTON. Dec. 31. .Radical dif

navsl officers on naval organization de

Daniela' suggestion on transfer of re

atrength taried greatly from those made
by officers. The committee with the ex
ception of Britten, Illinois. Indicated
agreement with Daniels.
uanie.is read to the committee a pro
posed bill to transfer 1.000 rererve of
fleers to the permanent force.
To get this transfer the reserves will
have to undergo a strict examination.
Daniels said. Daniels' proposal differed
from mat or officers who asked un
limited transfers. He alto differed with
officers on the permanent enlisted
trer.gth, which he said should be In
creased. Officers recommended an in
crease from about 130.000. present
strength, to 217,000. Daniels' plana will
reeeasitate employment of ew.POO re
serves up to Jut.e 80, m.

permanent strength for the navy more
than fixed in the last bill." Daniels said.
Reading a report by Admiral Rodman
charg.ng the men were "racked in like
sardines aboard ship.' the eecretary de
clared he believed that battle ships can
be operated with smaller complements,
j He recommended a etudy and investiga-

Thirty battleships wilt probably be

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30. The Repub
lican Publicity association, through Us
president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne. Ja.,
recently gave out the following state
ment from Its Washington headquarters:
"No other Business hus been hit hard
er by the war than the newspapers bus
iness, particularly in the smaller cities
- . . .
..u cuumry towns. , i ne large metro
politan papers have probably suffered
least- During mv. more than 1.200
publications went out of business. Afl-
...onuig euowance ror new paper
started, it appears that there was a net
less of sixty-two dailies and 69 week
lies. "The mortality statistics for 1918 will
probably show as great a loss, for the
shortage of paper, the increasing cost of
all kinda of supplies, and the higher
wicmcr wna me neavy can upon
newspaper men for military service,
have been more severe this yesr than
last.
"And one of the serious features of
the situation is that the people of the
country probably do not realize that the
most valuable portion of the press has
uoiamu me greatest loss. Lnder pop
ular government the country press, in
eluding not only country weeklies, but
the smaller dailies, is the real voice or
the people. Editors of large metropoli
tan papers do not have and cannot have
the close touch with the people that is a
necessary incident of the life of tha
countiy editor. Just as Washrington. I A cnTrnoT
D. C, is the poorest place in the cour.- I IxAK X OUllUUli
try to get a line on the political thouaht
of the nation, so the big city newspaper!
office is the Poorest clare to irt nirn t '
Picture of the national thought, either!
political or otherwise. The oponlr nf
he United States should realize this, i
ana sliouid see to it that whatever else
happens the country press shall be maintained.
Freedom cf speech and of the press
s the first essential of a republican
form of government.' for the reDresentu-
ives of the people cannot know the
thoughts and aspirations and desires of
their constituents unless voiced through
the rr.ediumship of the local press to
which they have access either directly
through the publication of communica
tions, or indirectlythrough the editor's
interpretation of the views of hi com
munity, f ' j . -
"The country press. including the
smaller dailies, represents the producing
element of our national life. The. large
metropolitan press represents the com
mercial factors. Just as production is
the first essenf . Vf ' permanent "pros
perity, so the UXvntennr.ee of fnat or-
tion of the press that speaks for the
producers is most important.
"The metropolitan press has ita place
in our national life and nobody wishes
It 111. The fact remains, however, that
the vital interests of the nation are
most promptly and most clearly repre
sented and the thought of the reople
most freely and most courageously
voiced by the country press. The peo
ple of the county may not see it now,
but they will some day realize that the
large preponderance of suspensions
among the weekly publications is a men
ace to national welfare."
