He said the policemen were often the

Mr.. Blair said the time was coming

Moving Pictures Cost

The nation is spending twice as
much for moving picture shows every
year as it is for a navy. 1t spends
more money for its automobil tires than
il does for navy" This is the answer
made in a statement by Col. Robert NJ.
Thompson, chairman of the executive
GoniInittee of the Navy League of the
United states, to objections made
against Secretary Daniels building pro

present building campaign of one ship

Iflh place in a few years.
There were registered in the States

our available army is on the Mexican

READ THELABEL," IS
ALSBERG'S ADVICE
Pure Food Expert Declares the
Consumer Must Be Taught
to Use His Intellect.

That il is not enough to compel proper
labelling under the pure food and drug act.
but that the consumer must be educated
10 understand and read the label, was the
declaration made by d.. Carl AlsberS
chief of the Bureau of Chemistry, De-
Dartment of Agriculture, at the Food
Question Banquet of the Philadelphia
produce exchange.
IF the consumer can be taught TO
~se his intellect as well as his eyes
our troubles with the artificial coIoring
Of foods will largely disappear" Dr.
Asberg declared.
The progress of science is changing
the entire food industry. We need a re-
adjustment of our standards of Iuality.
The proper regulation of quality
through food regulaHLon will help but
little If the consumer be not educated
10 pay less attention to sentimental val
ues, and not to be guided wholly By
Brejudice."
The consumer must be made 10 un-
derstand the real value of what is Of
fered him. Thus the growing scarcity
Ue foods may be minimiZed and the de-
velopment of new foods and new
sources of foods through the applica-I
tton Of modern methods may be stfmu-
lated.
No other civilized country wastes
foodstuffs as this country wastes them
DR.. NJ. z. Pennington, one of the De
partment of Agriculture's food experts,
declared, ''If all the crops that the farm
ers ra 'sed were utilized, all the meat
animals that are killed eaten al the
fish that come into the nets marlSeteS.
hundreds of thousands who are row
hungry would be fed, and the agitation
on the subject OF high prices would

land. Reasons for this view are man. fold. In the first place there has teen a steady recession and retrencb- ment, covering period of several years. During this time economies have been practiced as never before Many weak spots have been elimin- mated within the last year. Stocks everywhere are low as a result of the persistent hand-to-hand buy ing policy so generally pursued. There Is no over-extens'on UT speculation anywhere. In short the volume of commerce and industry can be meas ured by the urgent demands of a consuming public.
 Conditions in the United States are said to be improving more rapidly than elsewhere and the improve ment h this country is certain to help business abroad. One of the greatest assurances ot better times was contained in the crop report is- sued this week by the department of agriculture for June. The statement indicated a total wheat crop in the United States of about 900,000,000 bushels, or almost one-fourth of the entire. worlds average production. This is 137,OO0,0OO bushels more than the highest previous record for this country. The report states that the yield of oats and barley will be one of tl,c greatest ever harvested. Condi- tion of other crops reported also in dicate enormous yields. '@
 "The business world has not yet t,Iasped the significance of these figures, for there is still much eau ton and in various quarters much ressihiisnl.

l back and forth to draw the lire of the federals, which they soon succeed ed in doing. We fled to our mattress forts with the baby and the servants as the federals came into the ranch. | The fight was so close we could near the bullets sing. It lasted twenty minutes, the shooting being incessant. Then, suddenly there was wild shoult and the sound of pursuit, which told us the rebels had won.
 Presently they brought in two pris- oners, an officer and a private, whose horses had been killed. They were the first bound men 1 had seen. The federals lost thirty-nine dead, the rebels but. two wounded. The boy officer had been crazy to centure up with but eight men.
 Sunday, April 19.-Gen. Gonzales IS here this morning. He gave us re- ceipt for everything taken. All the horses are gone, some of the best mules, anG the store is cleaned out. Nobody enters our house. young American gunner fighting with the rebels saluted "Old Glory" which flies from our roof, 70 we had him in for moment A nice boy, but little too important We slept well, and so did our tired visitors. We had a pit dug in the pantry in case of more fighting.
 Try to picture our little bungalow in its gorgeous plot of flowers and pretty lawn, looking as gay as you please, and Old Glory Haunting its beauty. The Union Jack is whipping the wind at the office, and red, white and green banners wave down the brown line of the road. I've been herding my chicks through the flower garden. ~r ., <.

 Thank heaven, there are no more mutilations to record. The young of ficer was mere cadet. It is the fed eral custom to send out for these first engagements some, madcap boy with raw troops, The really import ant men are kept for the final glory, if possible. It appears when the fed erals came yesterday they ordered all our people out of their quarters, and finding one family hidden they dragged them out by this boys or ders md were about to kill them whe nthe fight began. The boys horse was killed and so he was cap tured.
 The burial of this poro boy was a very characteristic scene. We have been sitting on the porch watching the group. They buried him just out side the gate, his body covered With fresh cut barley. Two buzzards swept low till their wings almost touched the barley, just to make sure they were not deceived.

PRESS OPINIONS
COST OF ILLITERACY.
(Memphis Commercial Appeal.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.)
 The rapid increase in adult illiteracy according to P. P. ClaXton, United States commissioner of education, is costing an economic loss of $5O0,O00 a year and has become menace to rep resentative government.
 This is statement coming from an eminent authority, but seems hard to believe.
 Illiteracy does unquestionably cause a serious economic loss to the coun- try, but it seems the estimate submit ted by Commissioner Claxton is some- what exaggerated.
 It is also the opinion of the com missioner that if industrial managers were fully cognizant of the degree of illiteracy existing among adults that they WIlld cooperate with public school authorities in the establishment of classes to be held in factories, stores, construction camps and else where in working hours. in the day time without loss of pay. for instruc- tion in reading, writing and speaking. This is a valuable suggestion, and while the plan would cost possibly an hours labor, in the end the benefit would more than compensate for this. There are some classes of labor 1 which do not require men and women with educations, but it stands to req son that the man or woman who can read and write, who have at least a smattering of education are more in- telligent and are qualified to do bet ter and more effective work.
 The boards of education are doing all that they can to educate the masses but the boards of education times takes the boy and girl from the 1 classroom before they have even laid the foundation of their education. If it was possible for these children to devote even an hour, at their places of occupation. to simple lessons in English. in writing and spelling, it would give them at least a chance to amount to something in later life. The trouble is the child is placed at work as soon as the law permits and l frequently earlier than this, in viola tion of the statutes protecting chil- dren. The grind of poverty and some times the greed of parents are re- lsponsible for this. The opportunities of an education are denied the child. T Unless compulsory laws are enacted making child's education a legal necessity, the industrial interests o1 I the country will find it decidedly tC their advantage to follow the sugges- tions of Commissioner ClaXton and CO operate with the public school au- thorities.
