Zem's gurgling fountain. The fierce
roar of the tiger will make the hair
in the butter turn gray with fright
and cause the tyros to look for the
wish-bone in the egg they have for
breakfast. If you smile-though you
cannot see any cause for smiling,
though a burden OF sorrow seems
crushing you to the earth-it will
smooth the wrinkles out and drive
dull care away.
There'l be sand for slippery places,
There1l be ice TO use when hot;
Zem Zem for him that's thirsty
Something else for him that's not.
There may be many simoons in the
winding pathway. So
When the camel bucks and things go
wrong,
Just clinch your knees a-straddle,
And don't lose heart if the ride seems
long,
But stick right to the saddle.
Above all things, smile! Smile un-
til you awaken that joy center which
lives at the core of you. And after
you have once awakened it, keep on
stimulating it daily with your persist
ent practice OF joy. A smile, like the
sun. dispels the gloom.
Lay aside the cares of everyday
life this evening and enter Moharrum
Temple shortly after the setting of
the sun. Listen to the yodeling of the
Arab band. led by Mokanna; listen to
Mahedrs fine Grafton and to Jac's sto-
~ of his many trials and tribulations,
while the tyros moisten their parched
lips with liquid fresh from Fem Zem's

MUST SPEAK FRENCH
ON PHONES IN PARIS

Paris, Aug. 13.-Martial law is be-
ing more vigorously enforced i'm this
city daily. The authorities are par
ticularly anxious to prevent the es-
cape of important news and frequently
takes the precaution of tapping tele-
phone wires, calls on which can now
be made only i'm French. IL is explain
ed that this insistence upon the use of
a language familiar to the police has
been made necessary by the fact that
suspected Germans were in the habit
OF telephoning i'm English. The re-
striction is decidedly irksome to many
English and Americans. whose knowl-
edge of French is limited. The Amer
lean ambassador. Myron II. Herrick,

Reports Indicate That Great Con-

gian Soil
REPORTS ONE SIDED
News Of Military Operations En-
andteS Almost Exclusive
H From Allies

London, Aug. 13.-The war
Of the nations of Europe today
became further regularized
with the formal declaration of
war on Austria-Hungary by
Great Britain.
The struggle for the pos
session Of the Belgian forts
surrounding Liege has recon-
menced, and reports of artil-
lery and cavalry engagements
are taken as an indication of
the possible beginning of a
great battle on Belgian soil.
The strength of the British
fleet in the Mediterranean IS
unknown, as no movements of
warships have been made pub
lie. 1t is known, however, that
France has the bulk Of her
fleet in the Mediterranean, so
no apprehension exists here as
to the safety of the trade
routes through that sea.
The official press bureau
here, describing today the dis
position Of British cruisers in
the Atlantic and elsewhere,
expressly urges traders of all
nations doing business with
Great Britain to send their
cargoes confidently and boldly
to sea in British or neutral
ships in all directions, except
the North Sea, where, owing
to mines and the probability
of naval operations no guar
antee can yet be given, al
though passenger service
again is running.
In the field Of land opera
tions little change has occur
red since yesterday. 1t must
be remembered that all pub
lished reports of military OPP
erations emanate almost ex-
clusively from the side of the
allied French and Belgian ar
mics. Nothing whatever
comes from the German and
Austrian side relating to mill
tary movements, and only oc-
casionally a brief item describ-
ing the result of past engage
ments is made public from
those quarters.
The strict censorship over
the whole field makes it diff
cult to estimate the value of
the news received.
The bulk of the German
forces is believed to be CON
centrated between Liege and
the duchy of Luxembourg. This
leads to the conclusion that
the German frontier, facing
Russia, is only lightly guard
ed, probably by newly organ
lied reservists.

railroading, hauling, advertising,
and what not-but it means to make
some form of more equitable divi-
sion with the man at the top--the
ultimate consumer and the man
at the bottom, who is the producer.
1t is easy to demonstrate that tax
ing the general average of farm and
food products the country over, and
especially in the cities, the producer
does not get more than 40 per cent
of the retail price paid by the CON
sumner. The railroads get some of
1t, but more goes to the unneces-
sary middlemen. But an even less
excusable part goes to sheer waste
fulness, like the policy that ships
live pork from this tract clear to
Portland or Los Angeles, losing all
the shrinkage, interest on money
loss by death or injury; and the
cost of transportation and care
and then shipping back train loads
of pork products, either from the
coast or clear across the Rocky
Mountains from Omaha or Chicago.
That's the kind of tax that makes
