Royal Wrath.

If there be any lingering remnant
of belief in or respect for the divin-
ity which doth hedge about a King"
it should be dissipated by Emperor
Wilhelm's message to Constantine,
the deposed King of Greece and his
royal brother-in-law. Says the
Kaiser:
Il have heard with wrath of the in
famous outrages committed by our
common enemies upon you and your
dynasty. assure you that your
deprivation can be only temporary.
The mailed fist of Germany, with
further aid from Almighty God, will
restore you to your throne, of which
no man by right can rob you.
THE armies of Germany and Ger
many's allies will wreak vengeance on
those who have dared so insolently
to lay their criminal hands on you.
we hope to welcome you in Ger
many at the earliest opportunity. A
thousand cordial greetings from
"Your William"
That kind of thing may still be toll
Grated, for time, in Europe, but in
America it is considered piffle.

TWO BILLION DOLLAR
LIBERTY LOAN
ER-SUBSCRIBED
Estimates Indicate That Nearly
Million Too Much Has Been
Offered.

Washington, June lo.-The Ameri-
can people have responded to the
government call for funds to finance
the war with vast oversubscription
to the $4,000, ooo, 600 liberty loan.
In the countrys ringing answer to
the call the dominant note was the
voice OF the small investor. His
money talked the last day of the
campaign in eloquent terms. The
hope for widespread response Of
the average man with the average in
come was more than realized in the
multitude that flocked to the banks:
Secretary McAdoo has announced
that no part of the great oversub-
scription to the liberty loan would
be accepted and that his statement of
May 10. in which he declared that
the issue would be limited to S2,ooo,-
100000 stood good now as then.
Mr.. Mc!Adoo's announcement will
result in pairing down hundreds of
the larger subscriptions until the
total balances the $4,000 ,ooo, 900
adopted.

Ground Your Fences.

Every wire fence used for enclos-
ing cattle and horses ought to be
grounded to prevent the stock from
being killed by lightning. We all
know that in bad storms horses and
cattle have the habit of drifting into
fence corners or along fence lines,
and we also know that when light
ming strikes fence it travels along
the wire until it jumps off on some
object close to it. Thus it is a rath-
er common occurrence to have cattle
killed by lightning along wire fences
and from the cause mentioned. This
can easily be avoided by grounding
the wires at intervals of twenty rods
or so. The grounding wire should
reach moist soil and should, there
fore, be sunk to a depth of four or
five feet by means Of crowbar. The
wire should then be wound around
each strand of fence wire in such
manner as to be in contact with
them. When lightning strikes
grounded fence, the electric charge
runs along the wire till it comes to
grounded wire. when it goes into the
soil. provided the latter is moist.
Dry earth is . poor conductor of
electricity. but moist soil is good
eonductor. No. 8 or No. 10 galvan-
lied wire 10 suitable for grounding

WANTS Ex-coNvIcTs IN ARMY
Penitentiary Warden Asserts Former
Inmates Should Be Accepted.

In refutation of Colonel Deakyne'.
charge that convicts and ex-convict.
are not wanted with the Unitee
States fighting forces, Robert ]. Nc.
Kenty, warden of the Eastern peni.
Tertiary, said:
There are more criminals uncon-
victed than within prison walls and
the fact that man is caught and i'm
prisoned is in my mind no reason
why the government should penalize
him further by excluding him from
military service.
The man who blows a safe, the
man who commits burglary, or any
one OF hundred crimes, demon
strates his nerve in the act. II these
men are patriotic enough to volun-
teer their services at the front, why
couldn't this nerve be utilized in a
credtable manner?
why, when a man pays the full
price OF his crime, must he 60 on
paying? l am heartily in favor of al
lowing the ex-convict the same op-
portunity to protect his country as
any other man, and think it an out
rage that he is not allowed to en-
list"
Warden McKenty also made pub
lie a letter written to him by the
secretary of the Honor and Friend
ship Club of the penitentiary, "B-
1884," wherein a plea is made for ex-
convicts to make good at the front.
The secretary says in. the letter that
he voices the mind of every inmate of
the Eastern penitentiary when he
asks for an opportunity to volunteer
with no other incentive than to serve
"Old Glory" and die, if necessary,
for the country.-Philadelphia Public

Gamblers Have Been Taking 50
Million a Month, Herbert
Hoover Says.

Washington. June I9.-Food spec
ulators have been taking 50 millior
dollars a month for the last five
months--a total of IA billion dollar:
from the American people, Herbert
c. Hoover today told senator's in ex-
planning the purposes OF the Food
Control Bill now before Congress.
Mr., Hoover said this country has
been experiencing unprecedented
prices and rampant speculation" cit
ing how middlemen and all other
persons in the distribution processes
have been purchasing supplies to
avert individual shortage.
Mr. Hoover cited the canning trade
as an example where the entire out
put OF vegetables and fish Tor 1917
has been disposed OF already before
it has even reached the Gamers He
predicted further high prices.
Thousands of men, he said. who
heretofore have never owned dol
lars worth of foodstuif are now
specializing in necessities.
THE average prices to the consum-
ers in countries where food admins
tration is now in effect are lower
than those in the United States he
said. in England the price of bread
is even IS per cent below the price
we pay. I believe that unless some
administration OF our food is taken
We will look back at these prices as
being moderate"
Disclaiming entirely that the bill
sets up food dictatorship Mr.. Hoov-
er told senators its purpose was to
organize the resources of the coun-
try and the people themselves into
a food administration to limit the
middleman's commission and prevent
extortion.
with righteous manufacturers and
distributors, he said. the price of
flour should not have been over So
a barrel. Vet it averages SI4. In the
last five months ~ billion dollars
has been extracted from the Ameri-
can consumer in excess of normal
profits Of manufacturers and distrib-
utors.
Not one national trade association.

that Spain's entry into the war on
the side of the Allies is now very
likely. Even King Alfonso is con-

afford the best proof that the war is
nearing its end with the defeat of the

dition nobody knows better than the
