BEER AND LIGHT WINES.
Gen. Corbin's Reasons for Favoring
Sale at Army Posts.

Regarding the canteen feature Of the
army post exchange, Major General Cor
bin. commanding the Atlantic division,
says:
"a careful canvass has been made of
the officers commanding the various posts
in the Department of the East with view
to obtaining their opinion on the advisa-
bility of re-establishing the eanteen fea-
ture of the post exchange Only one of
the commanding officers emphatically be-
lieves that it should not be re-establshed
With a very few other exceptions. the opin-
ions of the commanding officers are en-
phatic that it would be for the best good
of the service to re-esta bliSh the canteen
feature. The few referred to appear some
what lukewarm, most of them believing
that the canteen feature is an evil, but
that perhaps 1t would be the lesser of two
evils to re-establiSh 1t.
eff it were possible by my act to abb
solutely stop the manufacture and the use
of Intoxicating drinks of any kind would
do so; If it were possible by my act to
prevent the use by any person in the mill
tary service of intoxicating drinks, would
do so; but realizing that the impossible,
however desirable. must give way to what
is possible and practicable 1 am firmly
of the opinion that it would be in the in
terests of discipline to re-establish the can
teen feature of the post exchange, recog-
nizing that in that way the evil of the drink
can be minimized. 1 say this, realizing
that there are many objections to the SELL
ing of beer and light wines at military
posts, both on ethical grounds and from
actual results in the past, but as the al
most universal testimony of post and COM
pany commanders is that many more men
will leave the post to get drink when none
can be obtained thereon than If there were
beer and light wines sold at the post ex-
change l can but advocate the re-estab-
lishment of their sale at military posts.
The possibility of thus, to a great extent,
listed men appears to me to be very
strong argument In. it's favor. The en-
listed men of the army are neither bet
ter nor worse than men of the same class
jority Of men are not prohibitionists, nor
can they be made prohibitionists by law.
Facts are stubborn things. and will not
bend to theories; theories must bend to
facts

Crop Report.

While rather cool for best results in the
lake region and portions of the central
valleys, with lack of sunshine and too
much rain in the Middle Atlantic and
Central Gulf States, the weather condi-
tions of the week ended July 20, as a
whole, were favorable.
Limited areas in the South Atlantic
States, Tennessee and the Ohio and Up
per Missouri valleys and North Pacific
coast need rain. With the exception of
portions of the Central Missouri Valley,
excellent weather for harvesting and
threshing prevailed in the central valleys
where harvesting is nearly finished and
threshing has made rapid progress. Quite
generous and much needed rains occurred
in the middle and southern Rocky Noun
tain districts, partially relieving the Sc
we're and protracted drought
Tobacco continues to do we'll in nearly
all tobacco States, the least favorable re-
ports being received from North Carolina
and Kentucky, the crop having sustained
some damage from local storms in North
Carolina; and in Kentucky, although do
ing fairly we'll, the crop is rather uneven.
Nearly all reports indicate an abundant
crop of hay. which for the most part is
being secured in excellent condition.

The regular Vulcan storm period is
central on the 3rd. The eliminating days
of the period will be the 3rd, 4th and 5th.
On and touching these dates general
storm Conditions will develop and pass
from west to east across the country.
After heavy storm and buster about
the 3ri. 4.h and 9TH look for rising ba-
rom eter, Westerly winds. and cooler.
On and touching the Sth and 9th. under
the influence of reactionary storm forces,
intensified by the Moons extreme north
declination an c,njunction with sun,
the temperature will rise to some or the
highest readings Of the summer the ba-
rometer will fall and severe storms ana
buster will visit many localities in their
sweep from west to east. THIS heated
spell will not break down until after the
new moon on the nth. with strong PROB
abilities that it will last into the regular
storm period extending from the 18th to
the 18th.
The Moon will be at New, or in con-
junction with Earth and Sun, on the 18th
in perigee, or nearest the Sun, on the

low for some days, the react!onary
storms centering about the 18th and 10Th.

Col Tilghman Plans
New Excursion Line.

Colonel Oswald Tilghman, Secretary of
State, was in Baltimore recently and
called on Governor Warfield at the lat
ters office in the Fidelity Building. Col
onel Tilghman, who is president of the
Eastern Shore Transport Company, is in
terested in chariering steamer to carry
excursionists from Washington city and
Chesapeake Beach to railroad terminal
points on the Eastern shore during the
month of August.
Il believe" said the Colonel, that
hundreds of people in Washington and
on the Eastern Shore would enjoy the
trips on the Chesapeake Bay. Now that
Cabin John Bridge has been closed down,
the residents of Washington do not have
many places to visit for diversion.
IF we succeed in securing the big
steamer that we are dickering for, we
will run daily excursions during the month
of August, and if they are literally pa
tronized, as we anticipate they will be-,
we may establish line of steamers per-
manently. The points we expect to take
in are Washington, Chesapeake Beach,
Claiborne, Love Point, Oxford and Cam
bridge. By our plan Washington people
can go to the Eastern Shore, and Eastern
Shore people can have an excursion to
Washington"

A Stingency in the damon l
Market.

The De Beers Company is a concern
one wouldn't object to having little
stock in 1t produces ninety three per
Cent Of the diamond output of the world.
1t pays an annual dividend of fifty-five
per cent on its "coumon" stock. In the
last year and half it has raised the price
of these necessities of life only five times,
from thirty to thirty five per cent. in all.
American exports of diamonds have
greatly deceased in consequence. This
stingency in the diamond market must
cause great suffering in many poor fami-
lies. But engagement rings will contin-

There is more Catarrh in this section OF
the country than all other diseases put
together, and until the last few years was
supposed to be ineurable. For great
many years doctors pronounced it local
disease, and prescribed local remedies,
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven to be constitutional
disease, and, therefore, requires constl-
tutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by +. j. Cheney q Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutio
nal cure on the market. 1t is taken in
