The process of scrapping Uncle Sam's navy is not waiting upon the final decisions of the armament conference. The Navy department has just disposed of 13 old warships of different types, which it officially declared worthless for naval purposes. Among them was the cruiser "Brooklyn," which was the flagship of Rear Admiral Schley in the battle of Santiago. Another was the wooden sailing ship "Dale," built in 1839, and at one time the pride of America's wooden navy, being considered the crack warship of her period.

She sailed the Seven Seas, sometimes on missions of peace, and sometimes in pursuit of pirates. In her early career she played an important part in the abolition of the slave trade. In the war with Mexico and, later, in the Civil war, she was usel in helping blockade the Gulf coast. She carried 16 9-inch smooth bore guns, which at that time were considered the most formidable battery afloat. In more recent years she has been used at Annapolis and Washington aft a training and receiving ship.

This wooden warship, at public sale, brought the sum of $237. On January lfith another list of Harry Beecroft, cashier of the Farmers State Bank at Varner, was shopping in Kingman yesterday.

Pictures of Kingman and Kingman People Added Uncommon Sense By JOHN BLAKE KEEP BRAKES IN OttDER A THE approach to every danger- ous turn of a state road is sign which rends: "GO SLOWI" The automoblllst who has good sense and good brakes heeds the warning. He gets around the turn without anything happening to him. The speed maniac, or the man whose brakes are out of order, keeps right on. And we usunlly read of one or both In the accident columns of the newspapers, sooner or later. The road we all must take Is pretty well marked with warnings, although It takes experience to read some of them.

If we have the brake called will power, and keep It In trim, we have nothing l4 fear ttum Utt tiangerous places. If our Judgment Is bad find onr will power likely to give way we never get where we are going, except In a very badly damaged condition. There Is no occasion for such great hurry that the warning signs must be over run. On the rond to wealth, and especially the road to pleasure, the warnings are very abundant. Vet thousands and thousands ol people run past them every day, with usual disastrous results.

There is Utile enough time in the average life. We must all work rap-Idly If we are to get a good lifetime's work accomplished In the working years that n.rf allotted to us. But we can always slow down at the risky corner, provided we keep our will power In condition, and use the Judgment that ought to be a part of our make-up. The "too much pley" tUTii in tiiri road Is more dufifr'-fous than the "too much work" corner, but It Is well to slow down at both of them. Then the "overindulgence" and "late hour'' spots call for uliMbt a halt.

Kent! all taSV Corf Hum them. It Is delightful to speed along the road and feel that we shall get where we are going In jig time. But many speeders who do not see or heed the warning, never get where they are going at all. And when they are piled up In the hospital or the snaitarlum or told by a grave-faced doctor to hid their families last farewell, they begin to see the sense In stringing these signs along the rond, and to ish they had kept their brakes In order.
