Comments Boys Corn Clubs.

Washington, June 16.-Comment-
ing on the record of Boys Corn Clubs
throughout the United States for the
season of 1914 just published by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, President Harrison of Southern
Railway Company said:
"As in each former year since the
inauguration of the oBy's Corn Clubs
the championship has gone to the
South, having been won by Carl
Graves, at $3.50, Mississippi, with the
production of 202 bushels of corr on
a single acre at the remarkable low
cost + AS cents per bushel. The
highest record made by any boy GU
side Of the South was by a Pennsyl-
van, boy who made 148 bushels IT q
cost of 26.7 cents per bushel. This
record WIS exceeded by ten of tie
first and second prize-winning boys in
the South. The average yield per ccre
made by the winners Of the fret and
second prizes in the States of Vir-
ginia, oNrth Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky and Ten
nessee was 1926 bushels, as com
pared with an average Of 104.22 by
the prize winners in the oNrthern
Central and Western States. Taken
into consideration with the records OF
previous years, these figures show
that, with the adoption of proper cul-
tural methods, the South can be made
the greatest corn-producing section OF
the United States"

SUNDAY BATHERS BROWN.
Seven Bathers and One Fisherman
Lose Lives in Heavy Sea.

Atlantic City, N. j., June 2O.-Seven
bathers, including prominent members
Of the Philadelphia Summer Colony,
were drowned here today in a heavy
sea.
Scores of others were dragged to
the beach in an unconscious condition
after life guards and other bathers
had battled desperately to save their
lives.

One other man was drowned when
six fishing smacks capsized simulta-
neously throwing a score of fishermen
into the water.
Life guards say a storm caused an
offset O. gully between a sand bar a
hundred yards out and the beach. The
Offset extended the entire length of
the beach and with the development
OF the strong u~ndercurrent the bathers
were swept into water of unexpected
depth. Many heroic rescues were
made by members Of the beach patrol
and by volunteers and several persons
gave up their lives in efforts to save

POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

It is a sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for a political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political f~anaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence in the COM
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchistic, uni hristlike
and dangerous to both church and
state.
The success of the nation is in the
hands of the farmer.

He goes to an agency and pays
his deposit, but after a day or two,
perhaps longer, of waiting, during
which his money is going fast, he
understands that the jobs waiting
for him according to the ads are
purely imaginary.
Perhaps he is able to wait until
he gets a job. If the agency is crook
ed it will send him to a lumber camp,
railroad camp or perhaps give the
boy a heavy factory job where they
have an understanding with the fore

takes any job offered him. In

FAKE NEWSPAPER ADS ATTACKED IN SPEECH
AT OPEN FORUM


the papers of the large cities were
pictured as factor fn>the making Of
the tramp by Peter A. Speek of the
Q. S. Industrial Commission. About
40 per cent of the want ads" in Chi
cagO newspapers are deceptive, ac-
cOrding to Speek. In New York the
average is higher and about so per
cent Of the men wanted" advertise
ments are fakes,
Speek, before a crowd at the Grace
Church Open Forum, traced the
downward slide of the youth to the
point where he doesn't want to adj
vance himself. He then becomes a
casual laborer" or tramp.
''The boys who end up as tramps,'
declared Speek, are most often from
the country. They usually have work
ed on farm until the age of IS or
more, when they suddenly realize
that there is no future for them
working for someone else. They save
small amount and then come to the
city.
Thousands arrive in Chicago every
year from states as far away as Ne
braska. The first thing they do is
cast about for a job.
Almost all of them try the news
papers. They are lured on by bill
board signs of IF you want work,
you viii find it in the Blank They
try the want ads
Almost half of these are fakes. The
gulible boy answers an advertise
ment Of a man who says that any
one can earn $50 a week When he
applies for a job, which is usually
caRVassing or selling ON commission,
he is told that he must pay a certain
amount for his samples. He often
does, but seldom gets his money
back. There are hundreds of worse
fakes practiced on the ignorant boy
by sWindlers.

VACATION WORK
Teachers and Students May Oh
tain Work on Farms During
Summer Vacations

BY direction Of the Secretary of
Labor, an investigation is being made
to determine as far as possible the num-
Der of extra help needed in agricultural
sections and to ascertain where the
supply of workers can be found to meet
the demand. Inasmuch as the vacation
period Of the great majority of schools
occurs at the time of greatest need for
agricultural help, it is suggested that
there may be teachers and students
who desire employment during vaca-
tons, or at any time of year when they
desire to engage in such pursuits for
practical experience and wages. The
Educational Departments of the various
states have been requested to circulate
this information as extensively as
possible. Students who are dependent
on their earnings to support and
educate themselves may find this of as
sistance. All who desire work should
apply by mail to the Division of Infor-
nation, Bureau of immigration, u. S.
Department of Lador, Washington, d. C.
for the necessary blanks upon which to
make application. Requests will re-
ceive prompt attention and the service
is free

When the submarines F-4 sank in
Hawaiian waters, it was suggested in
very plain terms that the Navy De-
partment had neglected this arm of the
National defence and that few if any of
our undersea craft were really capable
Of effective work. Josephus Daniels
denounced this criticism as a piece of
malicious and ghoulish politics. But
now it seems that fifty per cent Of the
submarines which started out in the
"war game" last week, have been with
drawn from the fighting line by reason
of defective machinery. K-6, flagship
of the fourth division of the Atlantic
fleet, went fast aground on No Mans
Land. XII, with disabled enginines,

ON THE FIRING LINE

The National Treasury balance de-
creased a million dollars during the
seven days ending May %, leaving a
balance in the Treasury of $l3,S64, 45l
.8S. On the corresponding date two
years ago there was $l31, OO2, 994.61 in
the general fund. For the present
fiscal year up to May %, government ex-
penditures have exceeded the receipts
to the amount of $l32, 326, 680.93.
Over in Canada some of the Cover
ment officials took selfish advantage OF
the war situation, and, while appealing
to the patriotism of the people, placed
a few large and juicy government con-
tracts with personal or political friends.
The scandal that followed discovery has
been a serious shock to the Canadian
people. 1t has also been a lesson to
Americans. Dishonesty knows no
national boundry lines. While Ameri-
can citizens will not be lacking in loyal
ty to their government in its differ
ences with other nations, neither will
they for one moment relax their vigi-
lance in scrutiny OF government bust
ness. Nor will any honest government
official ask them to. Acts that are
wrong in times of absolute peace are
doubly culpable when committed under
cover of the nations strained interna-
tional relations. II it is the duty OF
American citizens to be loyal to the ad-
ministration, it is doubly the duty OF
the administration to be loyal to the
people. When defenders of any adj
ministration seek to avoid criticism or
scrutiny of its official acts because i'm
portant diplomatic correspondence is
under way, it is time to give special at
tention to the manner in which public
business is being conducted. Pitiless
publicity was never more needed than
when public attention is diverted from
the ordinary business of government.
Because railway equipment compan-
les lack business for their factories,
they are willing to take orders at
prices so low as to eliminate profit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity
to get cars and locomotives at sacrifice
prices, some of the eastern railroads
have placed few orders. And it is
this sort of business that Democratic
newspapers point to as an evidence OF
revived industry. The factory that
takes orders for the purpose of keep.
ing machinery from rusting is about on
a par with the man who works for his
board to keep from starving. In each
instance there is useful employment
but it would be hard to induce either to
accept such work as an evidence Of
prosperity.
