in Wisconsin, the state as a whole is
giving unqualified Endorsement to Pre-
sident Wilson and the conduct of the
war.
But the forthcoming congress IN the
opinion Of Senator Myers will not
tolerate further repetition of the in
cidents that led up to the appointment
of a committee to Investigate the
charges Of un-Americanism lodged
against Senator La Toilette. This
committee will bring In its report at
the next session but Senator Myers
does not believe that it will recon-
mend his expulsion; probably the re,
port will censure Senator La Toilette
for lack of loyalty in the lstfonal
crisis but every senator has the right
to express his sentiments no matter
how ill-timed they are or how lacking
liz support of common cause, he
says.
Senator La Toilette by his efforts
to block every piece of war legislation
has brought down on his head not
only the wrath of congress but the
wrath Of his own constituents as well
and the feeling is that he will not be
reelected, though he still has five
years to serve. having been returned
only last fall.
But the temper of congress is such
that Senator La Toilette had best take
care how he expresses himself and
votes during the next session. Con-
gresS is willing To overlook his faux
pas this time hoping the incident will
serve as warning and perhaps con-
vert him to the real American view.
But 1t will not stand idly by and watch
the senator go to extremes; if that
should come to pass, there is llttle
doubt in the mind of Senator Myers
the senate will show him little mercy.
One reasonable act or. word will be
the signal for his conviction.
Senator La Toilette is not the only
senator to bring down the wrath OF
his constituents, Senator Stone Of

The passing Of the food-control bill
was followed by the appointment by
the president of Herbert Hoover as
food administrator. An immediate
appeal was issued to the country for

and manipulation of prices. The
women of the country were modified
for service and thousands registered
for membership in the food admins

PASSAGE OF MARKET
BUREAU BILL DIPREILLED

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. eff the
Georgia legislature adjourns without
enacting the pending market bureau
bill, it is going to mean serious stu
alton for many Georgia farmers who
have Loyalty responded to their coun
tTy's call and grown more food crops
and feedstuffs than ever before in the
history of the state.
It isn't a question of consumption,
for there will be need for every pound
o food produced for man and beast
But it is an imperative problem of
proper distribution-of getting surplus
food to the markets that most need
them.
Georgia faces the problem of prop
erly marketing more than 5000, 100000
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1917-08-09

worth of foods and feedstuffs. The de-
partment of agriculture has planned
an efficient system for bringing about
the most satisfactory distribution. The
successful operation of this system
will require both legislative authority
and funds to meet expenses. To meet
these expenses the legislature has been
asked to appropriate from the fund now
paid into the state treasury by Georgia
farmers, less than one-fortieth of one
per cent, or 25 cents on $1,000 of the
value of the Georgia produce to be
handled.
There is real danger that in the rush
incident to the close of the session, this
bill may not come up for action at all,
which would mean it would have to go
over to next year
If the farmers of Georgia want this
bill passed now, so that they may be
assured of efficient assistance in the
marketing of their food crops, they
should get busy at once and insist up
on action on the part of their legisla-
tive members. 1t is their bill and their
interests which are at stake, and
there is not a day nor even an hour to
lose.

NEGROES MAKING BETTER
SHOWING THAN WHITES

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 9-Negroes are
making a better showing on physical
examination than the white men, &C
cording to reports from the seven To-
cal boards of Atlanta, and thus is put
to rout the early theory of the doctor
members of the board that the ever
lasting grind of hard work under mod
ern economic conditions is responsible
for the nations physical decadence.
If negroes who have known nothing
but hard work from childhood can
make better showing in physical ex-
amination than white men who have
not been obliged to work so hard, then
the doctors calculate that negroes are
either stronger physically or else the
white men have something other to
blame for their subnormal showing be-
sides hard work.
Another fact noted in reference to
negroes examined for the draft is that
a smaller percentage are claiming ex-
emption and discharge than among the
white men. This would seem to indi-
cate that the negroes relish the pros.
pect of being armed with rifle bayonet
hand grenade and trench knife, and
given all the liberty and license they
are looking for to Stay and slash and
kill.

Wilson took the matter up with the
attorney general Of the state but
was not able to secure information
of any satisfaction to local fisher
men. Representative Kent states
that the bill was never meant to
interfere in any manner with any
kind Of fishing on the Kootenai
river.
The fishermen also feel that they
have a grievance in the provision
which requires that every person
selling or shipping sturgeon be re-
quired to pay $1,000 for a license.
The sturgeon fishing only lasts for
few weeks and the fishermen's
profits are small when he has to
pay so much for a license. The
fishermen here may be able to get
around this provision by taking out a
license in one mans name and doing
all their shipping in his name. This
procedure was followed by the white
fish fishermen of Lake Pend d.
Oreille.
Ralph Fisher brought large stur-
geon to town yesterday to ship to
Spokane and found that he had to
have a license before he could ship
After inquiring at the court house
of Deputy Clerk Elder he found that
such a license could only be obtained
from a game warden and as the near
est game warden lives in Standpoint
/ it was necessary to telephone to that
city to get permission to ship the

Proper Food for Weak stomachs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Every
one should adopt a diet suited to his
age and occupation. Those who have
weak stomachs need to be especially
careful and should eat slowly and
masticate their food thoroughly. 1t
is also important that they keep their
bowels regular. When they become
constipated or when they feel dull
and stupid after eating, they should
take Chamberlain's Tablets to
strengthen the stomach and move
the bowels. They are easy to take
and pleasant in effect.

STURGEON ARE
NOW RUNNING

A number of local ~eople are
catching good sized sturgeon these
days. Clarence Fry caught a IT'S
pound sturgeon Saturday and Ralph
Fisher, of Copeland, caught one
weighing about 100 pounds. Both
fish contained a great quantity of
eggs which sell in Spokane for so
cents per pound. The sturgeon sell
for from 10 to 1914 cents per
pound.
The sturgeon fisherman are con-
siderably perplexed over the word
ing of the new fish and game law
passed last winter by the legisla-
ture. This law provides that no fish
shall be caught except with pole and
line. 1t is an impossibility to catch

Computation Method.
Placing on the debit side Of the led
ger the national army Of 10000, the
entire National Guard at war strength
and the number Of war volunteers
needed on April last, to bring the
regulars up to the war strength, the
grand total was apportioned according

This gave a gross quota for each
state. from which net quota was COM
puted by checking of the number of
National Guardsmen available for fed

given by the state to the regular army
since April /.
The apportionment was made on the
basis Of an estimated grand total for
