Send 'um along! We'd like to witness
some of those narrowing scenes such as
they are telling ABOUT down in Farming
dale. We've been trying for two weeks
to find some one to harrow.
Did you all read the editorial in the
Kennebec Journal of the 18th. Criminal
Extortion by Gamblers" It's right to
the point and looks plain, about deliber-
ately boosting prices. That class are as
deadly to Uncle Sans chickens as mites
are to the feathered chickens whether
two footed or four footed, and while you
are seated to read that go back a day
and read the editorial in the 18th THE
Farmers Patriotism" How easy it is to
give advice to the farmer when to sow
his potatoes. Oh, you wiseacres go to the
suggard and learn wisdom, then tell it to
ten farmer Some of the farmers are
putting in about two of your eight hour
days into one and If you can manage to
put all that you advisers know into six
hour day perhaps the farmer can put in
an extra day setting cabbage plants in
his back yard. Then take time to read
the article on the editorial page of the
18th by Prof. Henry W. Farnum, Food
Supply and the Human Submarine
Good - Cambridge correspondence in
Pittsfield Advertiser.
Why don't you turn that four-legeed
chicken loose, neighbor? After sowing
your potatoes do you harrow them in
or poke 'em down with a stick, as we
used to do with peas on a stump
piece?

A charge that the German govern
ment was serving its prisoners in cans
to the populace would hardly be &C
copied more reluctantly by the world
than this indictment which Germany
does not deny. The Paris Libre Parole
says:
THE Boches allow nothing to be
wasted, not even their dead fallen on
the field Of honor. They make explos-
ives CT them. The German papers
boast Of it, considering it great honor
that German industrial chemistry
should extract from the gloriously fall
en- hero a pound Of lubricating
products"

Editorial Comment
(Biddeford Journal.)

President Wilson, pleading for au-
thority to impose strict censorship on
news, admits that a large majority of
the newspapers can be depended upon to
exercise ample discretion in the matter
of printing news that would be of assist
ance to the enemy, but insists that. as
there are a very few that cannot be thus
trusted, he should be given the power de-
sired. If the censorship is imposed, it
will not be the first time the innocent
have had to take an equal share in the
punishment of the guilty.

tBy Associated Prens.l
EAST ST. LOUIS, July 5.-A fed
eral investigation of Mondays race
riots here in which SS negroes and
four whites were killed and approx
imately 80 negro homes were
burned. was begun yesterday by
Colonel George Hunter, chief quar-
termaster of the central division OF
the United States army.
Colonel Hunter is under instruo-
tions to make full report of the
trouble to Major General Thomas H.
Barry at Chicago, commandant OF
the central department
Residents of the city spent .
dreary Fourth of July, for the most
part remaining in their homes.
Nearly 1000 Illinois National Guard
patrolled the streets in every section
of the city armed with riot ammunl-
tion and under strict orders to fire IL
necessary. The city's Fourth OF July
celebration which was to have been
held in City Hall park, was called
off and all saloons and theaters re-
NAMED closed. Militiamen prevented
citizens from congregating in any
section of the city. Strong detach-
ments of soldiers guarded the stock
yards and large manufacturing
plants.
The only excitement of the day
was the finding of three negro bodies
badly mutilated In Cahokia creek,
bringing the death list to thirty
seven.
Civil authorities began the work
of collecting and preparing evidence
to be presented to the st. Clair grand
jury when 1t convenes July 9. Only
two of the 81 men arrested Monday
night on charges of melting to riot
are being held.
