Till'] dut\—and it is a duty of the first importance—of national de
fense is an equal obligation upon all citizens, and unless this duty
shall be assumed and discharged along lines of absolute equality
tho structure of democracy will not endure.
We do not desire a large army in America. I mean by this whatsis
known as a regular or professional ariny, but we do want to know that
we can assemble the units—evenly balanced—of all arms of the service,
and assemble them quickly, when needed.

.i.Vi'K DAL/ION TO LEAVE
ALASKA
CALLED TO DISCHARGE THE DUTY OF A NATIONAL DE
FENDEK.
This nation bv its fathers was dedicated to the proposition that "de
mocracy and service are inseparable." We must stand squarely on the
cor titutiun of tho United States.
I believe such a policy can become a fundamental part of our national
: ■ only throu rh the adoption of a system by which our young men
si ill I li.:Me for military training before reaching the age of twenty-one.
A democracy which does not identify itself with its army and which
refuse - to train i -elf for its own defense is traveling on a dangerous trail.
UPON A CITIZENRY TRAINED TO ARMS RESTS THE POWER OF
THE NATION TO RESIST INVASION.

Strength of a Flower.
One of the most remarkable exhibi
tions of plant force I ever saw, says
John r.nrroujrlM In "The Breath of
Life," was iu a western eity, where I
observed a wild sunilower forcing its
[ way up tltrou} h '.be asphalt pavement,
i The folded and ■ ij„.; io.soJ leaves of
the plant, lil.e a lean's f.st ha,! pushed
against the hard L»it Hoxil/le concrete
until !t bn!;:el •:;» an I split aud lot the
Irrepressible i i i':roi:gh. The force
excite I in'tsf have loan many pounds
I think't liod'tftil if tlia stnin-o^ nmn
could have pushed his list through such
a residing medium.

The record for fasiiug. so far ns oui
best luforma.ion goes. Is held by
Graine, a Froi: h murderer, who de
termined to starve hiv.self to death
and from day to day a.'tor h!s arrest
refused to eat.
In spite of every effort on the part
of his keepers, who tirst tried to tempt
him to eat by placing tl.e most dainty
meals in his oell and when that failed
attempted feeding him by force, he
held out for sixty-three days, at the
end of which period he died.
With tho exception of r:mine's ease
the loncest well authenticated instance
of fasting on record Is that accomplish
ed by Giovanni Sucoi, who lived at the
Royal Aquarium, Loudon, for forty
tive days without food.
Power of Love.

Ilo.ue buying is the k~. t'. t v.sll
open more doors leading tc com
munity development *han any on*
thing that is within the reach ci'

m'v itean the expausicu of the

home patronage is given—and thus
tae employment cf more salesmen
and deliverymen aud ot'.ier store

trad'-s and work, ai.d business for
those engaged iu selling buildQ.-s'
