Situation Clarified.
ASSOCIATED Press War Summary
Russia's internal situation was con-
siderably clarified by SATURDAYS news
dispatches, which announced the ar
rest of General Korniloff, marking
the definite end of his revolt, and the
formation of a new cabinet at Petro-
grad. Publication OF the names of the
new cabinet members was deferred
for day.
With General Korniloff was ar
rested General Lokomsky, who was
in command on the Russian northern
front when the revolt started, and
who cast his lot with his chief. What
the fate of the two men will be is
problematical.
Military activities on most of the
fronts seem to be at a minimum.
Rome's official statement, while re-
porting ratification Of the Italian lines
on the Bainsizz4 plateau, does not
mention particularly the fight for
Monte San Gabrielle, which height, on
Friday, was reported in diplomatic
dispatches to Washington to have
been captured.
On the Franco-Belgian front the
only actions were minor affairs, ex-
cept at Verdun, where Paris reports
the French successful in regaining
most of the trenches which the Ger
mans penetrated north of Caurieres
wood on Friday.
On the Riga trout the Russians are
still on the aggressive and their war
office reports advances which resulted
in the occupation of several towns.
Premier Kerensky has found it i'm
possible to obtain compromise on
a coalition basis, admitting both right
and left ministers, and decided tenn
porarily to create cabinet of FIVE
members. Thesl are Kerensky, presi-
dent; Terestchenko, minister of for
eign affairs; General Verkovski, min
lister OF war; Admiral Verderevski,
minister of marine, and M. Nikitin,
minister of posts and telegraphs. As
Terestchenko and both the defense
ministers count as members of no
party and as Nikitin an. Kerensky
are social revolutionists, the cabinet,
as far as it is party one, is social
revolutionist. The portfolios OF the
other departments will be allotted by
the cabinet of FIVE, but the occupants
will rank only as directors of depart

DOWN WITH THE GRAIN GAMBLERS!

If any incident We're needed to show the country the fallacy OF
sustaining the institutions that gamble IN the necessities OF hfe, the
directorate Of the board OF exchange IN Chicago has supplied the
evidence.
A sensational upward run in the price of wheat last Saturday
caused the governing board to hasten to fix the price at which settle
lnent for May wheat could be effected for a few days at $3.lS a
Ihushel
The gamblers, in their manipuahons, without either buying or
selling a dollars worth of grain, but merely betting, in effect. on
The price, found themselves in a panic when May wheat advanced
thirtytwo cents. The "huyers" had purchased" one hundred times
as much wheat as the seller" had to "sel, the result being
that, in order to facilitate settlement and to prevent the Longs
in and suspended further transactions in May wheat.
Had there been actual buying of wheat, the phenomenal run
would not have occurred, but since there was only gambling on
either side, for the most part, one side was able to bluff the other to
what IN common parlance IS known as a standst1lL.
There might be some semblance OF excuse, such as 1t IS, or would
be, for this gambling in grains if the producers We're deriving any
special benefit, but they are not. But comparatively a small per-
centage OF the visible grain in the country is in the hands of the
producers, the great bulk of it being held by speculators-in other
words, by gamblers.
And hundreds of thousands of bushels of this visible supply is
n the freight cars, holding down some sidetrack, where the manip-
ulators have been keeping it for months, to the detriment of the
commercial interests of the country which in vain have been de,
mandlng the use of the idle cars.
lhere is some talk about the government taking over the farm
products and experimenting the distribution thereof, eliminating
the gamblers. But it is to be hoped that if this step is to be taken
at all the government will not wait until the crop of 1917 is mostly
out OF the hands of the producers and in the hands Of the gamblers
in winch case the government would take it at the gamblers prices.
America, that has shown it's greatness in shedding its blood and
American war and that is renewing its allegiance to the principles
IL Erotherhod OF Man IN the present crisis, ought to be great
enough and sensible enough, in the interests of humanity within it's
own borders, to stamp out the devices by which some of it's shoddv
ar1stocracy CANDLES In the necessities of life. at the expense of
thousands OF families in daily need of bread and with no especial
benefit to those who, by the sweat of their faces, produce the wheat
from which the bread is made.
Down with the grain gamblers!

MUCH DEMAND
FOR COTTON LAND

The freedom of this county so fal
from boil wecvil is going to make a
great demand from nonresident
farmers for cotton lands the coming
season. Already many have come
here to locate and rent land and we
believe that many times the acreage
will be planted in cotton the coming
season than was this. If the boil
weevil does strike Marion county, it
will probably not be in large num-
bers the next season, and even should
the insects come, by early planting
all but the top fruit can have time to
mature before the bug gets in its
work. We understand one firm from
the weevil-infested sections of West
Florida has just leased a big farm
close to the city on the west and will
plant 800 acres to cotton. These men
will plant their corn, pinders, etc., at
home in West Florida, and plant the
farm here to cotton only.
