 At the recent inauguration of the governor of Florida there were over 800 visiting automobiles present. Prac tically every county in Florida was represented by automobile parties.
 Last year. chiefly through the eff forts of Secretary Herrider. of the West Florida Highway Association, an effort was made through Founders Day Exercises" to arouse interest in "T'he old Spanish Trail among the school children of Florida. The idea was that the children of today are ihe men and women Of tomorrow and any thing building for the future should have the interest and cooperation of the men and women of the future. It was a great success and February 9th. has been chosen as this years date. On this day the schools declare a hol- iday and fitting exercises are held in the place of regular curriculum. It would be well if this could be taken up everywhere.

ARIZONA MAY HAVE
 MILITARY SCHOOL

If plans fathercd by Colonel Harris, adjutant general of the Arizona Ma tional Guard. go through. a bill will be introduced in the legislature which will ultimately give Arizona military institute second to none in the country
 Colonel Harris has been working on his pet plan for some time. Two years ago he brought up the subject with Yavapai legislators, but they were too busy to bring it before the house At the present session Colonel Harris be- lieves that Senator Rutherford is the man to put the bill across. and will bend every effort to have it go through
 The plan is to have the government turn over to the state the old military post of Fort Whipple near Prescott with it's buildings and equipment Fort Whipple is an ideal place for a military school There is no doubt in Harris mind that if the legislature would make an appropriation such as cae state Of New Mexico does annually. that this state could have a first class military school to which the boys of the state could be sent at nominal cost. there to obtain n first class nigh school edu- cation and training in military tactics live under military discipline and learn the lesson of self reliance, which never Is found Tn the average nlgn ScnOOl.
 The federal government makes an appropriation each year for military schools in the various states. Arizona is at present getting in the neighbor- hood of S90,000. which goes 10 the University of Arizona for drill pur- poses
 This money, in the opinion of several who are interested in the new bill. could be used to much better advant- 1 age by giving it to a military school
 If the new school is established :,

lions of the German front between the

our troops south of the front OF our

abandon important sections of his first
line defensive system in the area be-
tween the River Lys and ST. Yves. Our
troops have followed up the enemy
closely and have made considerable
progress east of Ploegsteert wood.
1--WE raided enemy trenches during
the night north of Bullecourt and
south Of HODGE and captured a few
prisoners in each case"

FOOD SPECULATION TO STOP
President Orders Congress to Rush
Bill Through-Lever Hits at
Gamblers.

Washington, June 20.-The food bills
were pushed to the front in both
houses Of congress and, with the per-
sonal influence of President Wilson
pressing for their immediate passage,
it was considered more than likely that
nothing else would be done until they
were disposed of.
While the bill was being explained to
the house by Representative Lever as
a measure which would harm no hon-
est business man, but would drag
'scrooks'' and spectators into the sum
light, a letter from President Wilson
to Representative Borland was made
public, In which the president warned
opponents of the bills that should they
defeat them they must be prepared to
take the responsibility for food condi-
tons and prices which were predicted
to follow.
IA certain .disservice," the president
wrote, 'shas been done the measure by
speaking Of it as the food control BILL
The object of the measure is not to
control the food of the country, but to
release it from the control Of specula-
tors and other persons who will seek
to make inerdinate profits out of 1t,
and to protect the people against the
extortions which would result"
