Distribute the Truck

The farmer should remember
that there is only a small aAea
which will grow winter vegetables
for the millions of people in the
big cities to the northward. There
have been complaints that truck
crops cannot be depended upo4
that they are a gamble in many
cases.
There is no necessity to gamble
on truck crops. A marketing err
ganization would handle and dis
tribute all the produce in the
truck growing sections. Under
the present system independent
growers aim at the big markets
and they become glutted while
many people in smaller towns do
without.

Ebert Bede Says:

Lots of people can lie better
standing up.
A blockhead might easily be
level headed.
Even when a man marries a
belle he has to furnish the ring.
The wise wife is not sorry when
hubby gets defeated for office.
A woman who is killing quite
frequently stabs man in the
heart.
The spellbinder is a thing of the
past. Voters want facts nova
days.
You don't need a license to kill
time-in fact, no one has any Ii
cense to kill time.
What was put off until tomor-
row yesterday is just as easily put
off until tomorrow today.
The political game is one where
the great majority strike out and
very few get to first base.
It's a favorite excuse with the
defeated candidate to say that he
did it for advertising.
The person who is always find
ing fault with others may be try
| ing to drag them down to his own
level.
We believe some folks cry hard
times because they don't want
others to know that they are max
ing money.
If being in love didn't take a.
way the reasoning power, it is our
humble opinion that there would
be lot fewer marriages.
It's a funny thing that if you
hear the clock strike in the night
| it is always the half hour gong
and you go back to sleep while
listening for the hour.
! Everyone believes he is doing
some good in this old world, but
each one has different way of
Judging what is good. Even Sat
an, if he could give us his opinion,
would probably say that what he
does serves as useful a purpose as
anything done by any saint in
Heaven.

Saturday. He says that Florida
fruit is sure to bring better prices
this winter than it did last win

the claim. He also believes that

troll three-fourths of the fruit

OHIO AGAIN FLOOD SWEPT
Four Are Dead and Scores Injured by
Rising Waters.-Property Loss
over 100000.

Columbus, Ohio.-Four dead, scores
injured and more than $2,000,000
worth of property damaged was the
toll of floods on July Is and 16 in
Central Ohio. Hundreds Of acres of
land are under water and vast areas
imperiled by weak levees and embank-
ments.
In several places in Ohio the disas-
trous food of March, 1913, was ex-
ceeded At Lima more than 200 homes
were submerged. Mayor Miles Stand
ish issued proclamation stating that
while the property damage there
would exceed 100000, no outside aid
in relief would be asked.
In Columbus both the Scioto and
Olentangy rivers flooded a large Sec
tion.
A large portion of Kenton was sub
merged and Foraker, near Kenton,
suffered considerable damage. Sew
eral houses were washed away and it
is feared a number of lives were lost
The Miami river rose five feet at
Dayton but caused no alarm. Mount
Vernon and Lancaster reported one
death each.

AUSTRo-GERMAN FORCES SUD-
DENLY TIGHTEN ARC AROUND
POLISH CAPITAL.
FALL OF CITY DISCOUNTED
Won Hindenburg Pushes Hard From
North, Won Mackensen Drives For
ward From South.-The Allies
Are Confident.

London-With the German field mar
shals, Won Hindenburg on the north
and Won Mackensen on the south,
whipping forward the two ends of a
great arc around Warsaw, 1t is real
lied in England that Grand Duke Mich
olas, in defending the city, has the
most severe task imposed on him since
the outbreak of the European war.
Some military writer's seem to think
the feat is well-nigh impossible.
There was sustained confidence that
Germany's previous violent attacks
along the Bzura-Rawka front never
would pierce the Russian line, but the
present colossal coordinate movement
was developed with such suddenness
and carried so far without meeting Sc
rious Russian resistance that more and
more the British press is discounting
the fall of the Polish capital, and,
while not giving up all hope of its re-
tention, is pointing out the enormous
difficulty the Russian armies have la
bored under from the start by the ex-
istence of such salient.
Unable to straighten out their line
by an advance through East Prussia,
In the north, and Galicia in the south,
the Russians perpetually have faced
the pincers of the Austro-Germans,
and If these cannot be sufficiently
frightened Warsaw must go and with it
the entire line.
According to the latest accounts, the
Austro-German forces advancing from
Przasnysz were within forty miles of
Warsaw; while to the south Won
Mackensen's center at points was
within ten miles of the Lubin-Cholm
railroad.

LIT OUR PEOPLE AND LIVE THEREBY.-D. "
AMERICANS WERE ABOARD
Twenty-one United States Citizens
Were on Cunarder Orduna, At
tackled by German Submarine.

New York.-The Cunard liner Or
duna, from Liverpool to New York,
with 227 passengers, including twen-
ty-one Americans, was attacked with
out warning, 1t was learned on her ar
rival here on July II. by German
submarine ON the morning of July 8.
Twenty miles from the graveyard Of
the Lusitania off Old Head OF Kinsale
the Orduna escaped the Lusitania's
fate by one-half a second Of time or
ten feet of space, the German torpedo
churning the water that distance be-
hind the liners rudder. Then the Or
duna sped away She was followed by
the submarine, which rose to the sur
fleeing steamer.
The attack was planned at ten min
utes to o'clock in the morning, when
all but few of her passengers were
asleep. Aroused by stewards, the pas
sengers dressed hurriedly and went to
the upper deck, where they donned
life belts and took their places at the
life boats. They heard the scream Of
the shells and saw the ocean spit up
columns of water where the shells
struck. When the fire grew hot they
were ordered, for their own protection,
to the next deck below
For half an hour the Orduna showed
her heels to the assailant. Through
marine glasses the passengers watch
ed the low-lying German warship COM
ing ON with a bone in her teeth, but
the Orduna's fight was faster than the
pursuit, and after seven shots had
been fired, without effect, the subma-
rine gave up the chase.
Protest will be made to the Ameri-
can government by at least one citi.
zen of the United States, and possibly
others, who were aboard. William O.
Thompson, of Chicago, counsel to the
Federal Industrial Relations Commis-
sion, who went aboard in his official
capacity last March and was return
ing to make his report, is the passens
ger who said that he would make Wig
orous protest to his gopernment
