 Judge Fuller wired the committee from Ruby accepting for Assistant District Attor- ney Gardner the invitation to deliver the Fourth of July oration. Judge Fuller will introduce the speaker, who IS sad to be an orator of much ability. rouslng ad- dress is looked for-one in which the eagle is made to scream, and in which the lion s tail is given the regulation tweak-one that will arouse patriotic ardor and enthusiasm and give vent to the feelings of pride and jubilation in the privilege of being part and parcel of the Hand of the free and the home of the brave" and all of the patriotic and bombastic sentiments which are permissible on the republics great holiday, if evoked on no other occasion.
 The Picture Show
 A motion picture show as part of a Fourth of July celebration is somewhat of an innovation but as this form of enter tainment has not been common in this camp it will no doubt find favor with all Professor Drapeau has some films especially adaptable to the occasion, and 1t is expected that this will be popular fea- ture of the celebration.

The Fourth of July celebration in ldita rod this year promises to be an event note worthy in the annals of patriotic observ- ances in the district. For a time it looked as though not enough interest could be awakened to make the proposed festivities a success or to raise sufficient funds. At the latter part of last week. however, the finance committee of the general Fourth of July committee got busy, and as q result enough funds were procured to insure the success of the celebration in record time. Ramps Peterson, Percy Charles Henry 0. Roden and Jimmie Farrell-are certainly live wires when it comes to getting the money. The enthusiasm of the committee was infectious, and all of those approached seemed to become inoculated with 1t and to become at once ardent boosters for the celebration. As a result the people of the district are assured of celebration of the republics natal day on scale never before attempted here. It IS going to be a regular old-fashloned Fourth of July celebration, with sports, oratory, music and dancing, and, as an added feature, novelty in the shape of a moving picture show. Every thing is to be free. and the glaring posters adorning the public places and dead walls of the camps admonish the people to "leave your pokes at home"

 ors could be obtained in Fairbanks. The wire was answered to the effect that all the boats and help necessary could be se- cured in Fairbanks. The wire stated that the government would not pay more than S75 per month and board, and asked if the men could be employed here for that amount It is the intention of the com
 mission to freight supplies to the head of the Nenana river in polling boats, and it is for this work that the men are wanted.

OXNARD SAYS HIGH PRICE
FOR SUGAR UNWARRANTED
10000 Bags Held by His Company
Cannot Find Market, Is
Asserted.

SAN FRANCISCO. August n.-There
is still one-half Of this seasons beet
sugar output, or 10000 bags, in the
hands of the American Beet Sugar Com
pany. awaiting a market. according to q
statement made before the United
States grand jury by Robert Oxnard,
president of the company. The company
could not find market for this sugar
even at a price below the present mar
ket quotation. United States District At
torney Preston quoted Oxnard as saying.
This proves conclusively that the
eastern seaboard ref1neries are not
afraid of a shortage, and that they are
simply juggling with the stock they have
on hand, which is a three-month sup
ply" Preston said.
The testimony showed also that the
eastern refineries had been making no
purchase of cane raw sugar"
The testimony referred to was brought
out at the beginning of the federal in
vestigation here into the advance in
sugar and other food prices since the
opening of the European war. Witnesses
asserted that the price OF sugar here Is
fixed in New York.
Sugar men told the grand jury yester,,
day that the increased prices were based
on the rear of the eastern refineries that
the English buyers. shut off from the
continental sources Of beet sugar supply,
would overbid them for the Cuban raw
cane sugar crop.

URGES BUYING DIRECT.

Get Goods From Farmers.
r. .,e ra,toI OF rhe star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Office Of weights. measures and
markets has undertaken to ADVISE the
people Of Washington to organize local
leagues for the purpose Of cooperating
in the purchase of food supplies, now
that necessity has arisen for economy
along this line. owing to the greatly IN
creased cost of commodities. with the
European war as an excuse for the same
am convinced from observations OF
my own and from the experience OF
others that a perfected organization for
cooperative buying. as well as OF selling,
will go long way toward solving the
problem Of the high cost Of living. but, IN
my opinion, the plan submitted by the
superintendent of weights, measures and
markets does not go far enough to prove
of benefit to any save only those from
whom it is proposed we shall buy,
namely, the jobber and the wholesale
dealer, and who but him Is responsible
for the present lamentable increases
which he seeks to overcome.
Surely this cannot be laid at the door
of the small retail dealer, about 80 per
cent of whom were barely making liv-
ing when provisions were selling at a
normal price. Competition is too great
in all parts of this city to allow him to
charge exorbitant profits, even If he were
so disposed. and only those possessing ex-
traordinary ability a. buyers will be able
to make living wages. much less interest
on the money invested in their respective

tinue for any great length of time.

Small Causes of War.
m the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
The cause for which all Europe has tax
en- arms, tays our parliamentary cor
respondent, is not worth the bones Of a
single soldier. Neither has been the cause
of almost any other war in history. Nine
hundred years ago a dispute between
Modena and Bologna over a well bucket
began a war which devastated Europe. A
Chinese emperor once went to war over
the breaking Of a teapot: Sweden and
Poland flew at each others throats in
1854 because the King of Sweden dis
covered that his name in an official dis
patch was followed by only two etceteras,
The spilling Of a glass of water over
the Marquis de Torey led to war be-
tween France and England. and a small
boy, by throwing a pebble at the Due de
Guise, led to the massacre of Vassy and
the thirty years war.

Flies and Fire.

From the Chicago Journal.
The fire loss in the United States last
year amounted to about 500. .OOO, 900. At
least 80 per cent Of this destruction,
judged by European standards. was
needless. All Of 1t was a dead loss to
the community. for fire insurance merely
distributes the burden. During the same
year flies caused disease which inflicted
a money loss on the country estimated
at s157.OOOOOO.
The life cost Of these two agencies of
destruction is beyond exact computation.
Flies cause most Of the typhoid. much of
the bowel disorders of children and all
the infantile paralysis known. Through
these diseases, the buzzing pests are re-
sponsible for many thousand deaths
each year. Fire takes a toll variously
estimated, but the figures seldom are
lower than 1000 lives per annum. Plain
ly, war is not the only needless waste in
the world. Flies and fire have their part.
Fortunately, they are easier to abolish
than the ::war lords" who keep Europe
an armed camp.

So long as Italy keeps out of the war

Science is less immune than art, how
ever Alexis Carrel has gone to the front
as an army surgeon with the forces of
France. Carrel won the 1912 Nobel prize
in medicine. and probably is the foremost
investigator in medical and surgical science
that the world holds today. His researches
have been marvellous. yet he is still
young man. If his career should be cut
short by a stray shell. humanity for gen
erations to come would be poorer. If
there were only some way of making kings
and kaisers fight their own wars!
