"INCLUDES' 3 CONVENTIONS Stock yards excursionists made op in battle array Saturday afternoon. A half hundred ardent commission men, all in quest of the elusive "ad vertisement," signed up vocally to be come a part of the initial delegation which leaves Tuesday afternoon, bound for Cheyenne, Salt Lake City, Ogdcn, Thermopolis, Denver and other strategical points in the west and northwest. ' Secretary and Traffic Manager A. K.,Stpyker and Bill Shcllberg had the list in charge. The itinerary, however, was given out which is included herein. Every year it has been the custom of yards men to make the rounds of conventions interesting to stockmen which are held in cities of the middle west The principal meeting of. in terest this trip will be at Salt Lake City, where the annual meeting of the National Wool Growers will be held January 11, 12 and 13. The Wy oming Wool Growers' association will meet at Thermopolis. Secretary Strykrr of the local yards is scheduled . to tltSke a talk. The fact that the sheep market fell below the big record of a year ago is considered basis enough for making a thorough canvass of the territory -covered. The runs during the last year have been excellent. The West ern Stock show at Denver January 21 to 27 will be largely attended by local stockmen, but will not be in cluded iir the itinerary of the present excursion. Salt Lake City will be " visited twice, the second time attend ance being at the meeting of the American National Live Stock asso ciation. The first (top will be made at Cheyenne.

Senator Chamberlain Favors a Compulsory Military Service Law New York, Jan, 7. If the United States does not want to be relegated to the position of China among the nations training must begin at once of the young men between the ages of 8 and 21 yean under a compulsory military service law, United States Senator George E. Chamberlain, chairman of the committee on mili tary affairs of the senate, said in an address before the Republican club yesterday. No man can tell what may happen in the international situation irtj the nextx twenty-four " hours. Senator Chamberlain asserted. He criticized the mobilization of the National Guard on the Mexican border as "wholly, ineffective," adding that there was no doubt in hit awt "what would have happened had the United States declared .war, pn Mexico." I Henry Ford, who had been invited to address the) dub, was unable to attend, but sent a telegram saying be was "strenuously ' opposed to any kind of military service." "We should lay the foundation," Mr. Ford wired, "for all countries to lay down their arms, and abandon warfare." ' Home Rule in Galicia V v Likely to Cause Crisis Copenhagen (Via London), Jan.' 7.

' ' Automobile, Teacher of Geography , Shows Whole WorlcL in New Light By GARRETT P. SERVISS. As a teacher of sreoeraohv tht auto mobile is unrivalled, it carries you so quickly from place to place and so victoriously up commanding hills which seemed unconauerable in the old days of panting horses, that it turns the country into a moving pic ture, whose beanties and wonders un roll in and endless panorama before your eyes. Formerly the farmer, if he had a spankine team, could trive his family. during a holiday's ride, a fair view of portion of the township, five or ten miles square, in which they lived. Mow, with his auto, he can take them over the whole county, and far away into adjoining counties, showing them an area of the earth large enough to make a very respectable telescopic patch as seen from thevnioon. And during: such trips the aspect of the country seems cpmplctely changed,' whilce the relations of the various parts to one another become evident.' The courses of the streams. the intersections of the ranges of hills, the lie of the valleys, the nesting places of villages, the pockets of corn, the sheltered expanses of wheat land, the favored valleys where the elms grow old and lofty and the breezy heights where the squirrels play among the hickories all fall into a certain . order, the recognition of which is a lesson in practical geogra phy.' And then there are the surprises, which are often very great and de lightful. Recently I took a ride around the Mohawk valley, .starting from Amsterdam, which, unlike, its flat namesake in Holland, loves steep streets. We were all natives of the valley and thought that we knew its scenery well. We flew through the township of Florida. I spent my boy hood looking' across the brawling' ichohane at the hills ot Honda rid ing occasionally over its roads. But now I found that I had never known Florida at it is. Seeing it bit by bit, now a little and then a. little. had been like getting an idea ot a house by examining specimens of its bricks. But the swiftly succeeding views afforded by the auto, like the progressive poses of a cinematograph, combined all the details into a har monious whole, and the township of Florida stood revealed like a beautiful face. A little way over the border, in Schenectady county, we spun higher and higher, until, through awoods, we shot out on the verge of a hill, where,' without any preparation for what was in store, we saw before us,' and beneath us, as instantaneously as if a curtain had dropped, the most beautiful, and, in its unexpectedness, the most astonishing landscape that I have ever looked upon and I have seen some of tht; world's-most famous views. Considering that this scene lies in one of the oldest inhabited regions of the old state of New York, and is the orift offered to its visitors, not by a mountain, but by a mere hill only some 1,500 feet in height, and clothed to its summit with farms, it doubt less seems extravagant to speak of it as I have done. , All of us in the party had been born almost within sight of the place, but only one had even a dim recollection of having heard of its existence. Wc had not set out to find it; the auto had brought us to it. , , Such a scene cannot be described; one can only mention some of its ele ments. Nature has a formula for these things, ' and the first require ment, after a suitable elevatibn, which heed not be very great, is isolation. The hill that I am writing of is a few miles from the village of Mariaville, which itself lies beside a little lake 1,300 feet above 'sea level. The sum mit from which the view is obtained rises moderately above all its imme diate surroundings. It is a kind of hill peninsula projecting into an at mospheric ocean, whose bottom, com posed of farm lands, gradually shelves down deeper and deeper, and sweeps away on all sides for many miles until it begins to rise again to meet the hills and mountains that form its farther coasts. Seen through the transparent fluid of the air, slightly blued in the dis tance, the farms, with their fences, hedges, groves, houses, barns, grain fields, corn fields, white buckwheat fields, stretch , away, smaller and smaller to the eye, apparently as nu merous as stars you would say there was a million of them. In bnght sunshine they arc rich with color. Away off in the midst of the mid dle ground, perhaps thirty miles from the eye, gleams a little white line the great marble-columned Education building in Albany, and close beside it is seen the capitol. Albany itself is a. darkish patch. Nearer is Schen ectady, big enough to lie on the point . of a (able knife. And all around are ' towns-and villages innumerable. The frame of this marvellous pfc- a ture is superb. Oply in one direction is it cut off by a forest on the hill. It consists of the blue Adirondack. merging into the Green mountains of . Vermont, with,Greylock, the. king of Massachusetts' Berkshires, set upon the rim, and continued round through south and west- by the beautiful' domes of the Catskills and the precip itous and almost grotesque fronts of the Helderbergs. Think of the sun rises and the sunsets and the starry nights on that lone-Jieightl This world-fronting hill is the prop erty of a farmer, a farmer who is also, a scholar and a gentleman. No king has such a home as hel No king would respect it as he does. A king possessing that hill would put a pal ace on it. A multimillionaire would trv to improve it with a marble gar age built on the plan of a Parthenon. ' A speculator would erect a great sum mer hotel there, and coin shekels out of the wonder. The actual owner has a low, roomy, unpretentious, comfor table farm house; only that and the view. And he has the strength of mind to work his farm! , Mrs. Mary D.
