-uE GUARANTEE CLAUSE.

The clause Guaranteed under the
Food and Drugs Act Of 1905 Is prob

any food package, deceiving even the
small, uniformed dealer as to its real
meaning. It is not a guarantee OF
quality or purity. 1t is not a guar

vote their Judgment instead Of their

vote lnelr judgment instead OF tneir
prejudices.
1t is strange that the people will
elect men who are absolutely incom-
petent to fill the office which they
seek. But they do so. and by such an
act they place load on their own
shoulders. An incompetent official is
a milestone around the neck of the
community. BY his ignorance of the
requisites of his office. he holds the
community back and interferes with
investment of capital and the employ
ment of labor.
Thus the people of the community
are the losers. An incompetent man
in any situation never realizes that ne
is not doing his duty-he can not see
the requirements of his official posi-
ton. To him the Office is just the mat
ter of putting in the time and drawing
the salary. The longer such a man
holds that office, the more limited be.
comes work and ideas that originate
from that office and in a short time the
people of the community lose the
proper conception of what they have
right to expect from such an ohcer.
The official has done nothing and
nothing is expected.
But that is not right. A competent,
conscientious man with comprenen-
siye ideas of what ought to be done,
and past experience that has taught
him how to do it, will make OF i'm.
mense importance the same ofhclal
position that the incompetent man has
by his incompetency made OF no I'M
portance.
The responsibility of good govern.
ment lies with the people.

the lovely aunt. and her lips quivered.
Horace rose and went around to

I'm going to carry Rosamond off,
Bruce announced proudly, ito my
house to dinner. They haven't begun
kc)ver there yet. and I want to tell
them the glad tidings."
Horace flashed upon him radiant
glance. Then you are engaged to
Rosamond"
For which I give grateful thanks"
said Bruce, humbly.
The lovely auntie said nothing, she
simply stared In amazement. The
butler also stared, then drifted away,
knowing, with the intuition of the
well-trained servant, that he was not
wanted.
Rosamond kissed her aunt. and
Bruce shook hands with Horace, then
the young folks left to make a hurried
rush down the square to the waiting
cousins.
In the big dining room two staid
people sat for moment in silence

NO FREEDOM Of SPEECH.


Liberty of speech is becoming so
curtailed in Greece that one dare not
criticise even the street car service,
as an Austrian resident learned there
recently.
The street car company had just
raised the price Of first class fares. and
while speaking to a friend on car the
Austrian took the officials to task on
this account. Another passenger, over
hearing the talk, summoned gendar-
mes, who arrested the critic. Only
on protest by the Austrian consul was
he released.
Before the Grecian occupation. the
Turkish authorities left the street car
management free to employ Turks,
Greeks or Jews, as it wished, and the
men were allowed to dress as they
pleased. Now, to force out the Turks,
the Greek officials have invited the
company, which is Belgian. to order
the men TO wear caps. The result
aimed at was accomplished, since the
Turks, rather than give up the fez,
resigned. In this manner, the Mos
lens have been forced out of employ.
ment in many other quarters.
Cities all over the state are agitat.
ing the subject Of proper street desig-
nation Davenport and Clinton are
two that have practically arranged to
have new signs at all street intersec-
tons. Neither city needs them as
badly as does Ottumwa for neither of
the river towns has streets laid out at
so many different angles. One not
versed with the geography of the city
has diff culty in finding his way about
in Ottumwa. More signs here would
not be amiss.

: Rosamond lowered her lashes. "Oh.

Bruce passed Horace as he went
out, and when the older man came In
he demanded. whats up?"
Rosamond wiped the tears from her
eyes. Il feel so-deceitful," she
sobbed, "and undignifled, and don't

back.
I'm sorry to butt in," he told
Rosamond, "but may speak to you
for a moment?"
Rosamond waved her aunt toward
the dining room. "You 30 with Hor'
ace" she said, "1'll be there in time
for the turkey. I don't want any
soup or oysters
So while in the dining room the
older couple faced each other some
what self-consciously, in the drawing
room the younger couple plunged
straight into Paradise.

MOVING RECORD CROP.

The fact that a record breaking crop
will have to be moved by the railroads
this fall is causing considerable ap-
prehension among the heads OF the
roads and everything that is possible
Is being done to prevent car snort
age and a resultant waste of a portion
of the years yield.
In spite of the fact that great sur
plus Of cars has existed for some time,
the surplus of box cars is not so great
as to warrant any feeling OF security
and unless cooperation can be had,
the prospects are for a difficulty III
moving these crops which may anect
disadvantageously the interests or the
shippers and receivers alike.
The railroads are making every Ell
fort which their resources will permit
to put cars in condition for service
and In other directions to prepare
themselves to handle the traffic with
promptness.
Shippers and receivers, commercial
organizations and others having to 40
with the commerce of the country
are urged to lend their efforts and in
fluence In every way possible to bring
about the most economical use OF
equipment and the following sugges-
tions are made for which the widest
publicity Is solicited:
First: Move all the coal, lumber,
cement and other supplies that you
can before the heavy crop movement
starts.
Second: Load and unload all cars as
quickly as possible. Of, without ad-
ditional cost, the use of greater force
will get the load ready for. movement

RIVER POSSIBILITIES.

Probably the most interesting por-
ton of Major George NJ Hoffman's
annual report of the work accom-
plished on the upper Mississippi river
for the calendar year 1913 just made
to Brigadier General Dan G. King.
chief of engineers at Washington, is
that part in which he discusses
Traffic prospects for the upper Mis-
sissippi river with an improved chan
mel and the installation of suitable
docks and derricks for handling and
transferring freight Major Hoffman
says:
with its gentle current and other
favorable characteristics, including
100 miles slack water and canalized
river, with numerous prosperous and
populous cities on it's banks and him
terland, conditions for cheap, extern
sive river traffic are excellent. But 1t
is fact that very little long distance
freight is handled by water, and then
the bulk Of passenger business is by
ferry, and the freight chiefly by pack
ct. The freight is mostly local or for
short distance. It is undoubtedly true
that were proper dockage, handling
and transfer facilities installed at the
pIluClpdl pOluIS IAS COAuo6C VI WolCA
borne freight would enormously in
crease.
1T is we'll known that actual cost
of transportation by water Is much
less than by rail and that the greatest
cost in handling and transferring wa
ter borne freight overcomes the ad-
vance that the river should have.
Although freight rates by boat are
30 to SO per cent cheaper than by rail,
on river points, and while rail rates
are cheaper with water competition,
much less than those where the water
transportation is possible, the incon.
venience in shipping, receiving and
the general irregularity of the service
are such that the railroads secure
most Of the business, which would
not be the case were the appliances
above mentioned Installed.
1.-THE general opinion, which Is be-
lieved to be the correct one, Is that
no matter how much money Is spent
on river improvements, nor however
satisfactory these improvements may
be, there will never be adequate or
satisfactory use of this waterway un-
til the river cities and towns provide
proper terminals and facilities, SO that
the manufacturers and other produc-
ers of the upper Mississippi valley
may profit from the Panama canal and
furnish the rapid development of river
traffic."

APPEAL PREVENTS
 SHERMAN'S SAILING
Discharged Soldiers at Honolulu Anxious to Reach Homes in States
 Make Urgent Plea. <;

Honolulu, July 7.--The army trans- port sherman enroute from Manila to San Francisco with HOO persons aboard. was kept from sailing from here yesterday by the appeal of 250 discharged soldiers who were anxious to reach their homes in the states and expected to board the Sherman.
 When the Sherman arriveI it was found that she had room for only thirty more passengers under the federal regulations for safety at sea.
 Realizing that they would have to wait a month longer if the Sherman sailed without them, the soldiers made a vigorous appeal to army off, cers, and a request was cabled to the war department in Washington for permission to allow the Sherman to carry 220 passengers in excess of reg ulations. The transport was to wait until today for the reply from Wasn- ington.
