Apparently the government at
Washington means to be fully pre-
pared for any extremity before they
actually call into service even the ma
tional guard units says the GAINESVILLE
Gazette. If it be known it is lack of
material, lack of preparedness, that
has thus far handicapped the govern
ment. The national guard units would
be under arms and at work being
given the finishing touches prepara-
tory to service abroad now if all the
extra munition supplies had not been
needed to properly equip the Pershing
expedition Now that the government
is managing to obtain some part of
the immense war supplies needed we
may expect first the national guards
to move, next the selective draft to
be made, and later still the call to the
cOlOrs of the new army Of half mil
lion men thus created-the national
army-if you please Then Uncle Sam
will be ready to fight on up to the
very end. There will be no stopping
sending troops across the water for
lack of ships for there will be plenty,
only it takes Uncle Sam long while
to prod up his assistants and wake
them to a full realization of existing
conditions. Meanwhile congress con-
tinues it's endless change of debates,
first blowing hot, then blowing cold,
on the question of income. 1t wants
to abolish the liquor traffic, but it
yearly revenue that it brings. One
day they decide to prohibit manufac-
ture of distilled liquors and the next
day they would prohibit the sale, and
the next they would reconsider the
whole matter 1t is to be hoped when
the final vote is taken the nation will
be bone dry, if only for experimental
purposes, but long enough to give the
system a good, fair trial. Once this
traffic is eliminated, even temporarily,
it will be harder to re-establish it, and
if it ever comes to life the present
evils will be eradicated and it will be
easier to control. Meanwhile the en-
listments continue to drag simply be-
cause congress drags and the govern
ment drags. When the time for action
comes the country will respond just
as they did to the Liberty Bond and
the Red Cross subscription.

THE PRICE CONTROL FARCE

"Legalized robbery" is the fitting
phrase for existing coal prices ap-
piled so aptly by the Wisconsin coun-
Gil of defense.
They are just that-nothing less.
Why in all conscience should coal
prices be several dollars higher this
year than last? Labor has been
granted II or Is per cent increase
in wages, it is true, but coal prices
jump 25 per cent!
Government interference to prevent
commercial extortions is proving ut
terly futile. Historical pleas are
made to the people by official Wash
ington to save food, but these same
people are robbed without mercy by
coal, beef and sugar barons, all in
combinations, despite antitrust laws
and costly collection of commits
sioners and machinery to prevent the
wrong!
Action is demanded from the au-
thorities at Washington. They crate,
legislate, promise and threaten, but
do nothing that yields bit of relief
Monopiles go right on needless of all
deceney-charging what they please
and the public is the sucker both of
them and of the federal agencies
which are paid to control them
Worse farce could not be enacted
farce so far as the government is
concerned, a real tragedy for the pill

Psychology Of Success"

The Niles Hussar band on Friday
afternoon, won enthusiastic applause.
Rev. E. L. Eaton of Mad son, in his
address on "The Psychology Of Sue
cess, emphasized the connection al
ways existing between mind and mat
ter. He said that the body and the
soul were joined together, and to i'm
pressions made upon the one, the 9TH
er responded He said that psychol-
ogy means the science of the mental
state, and it also means the influence
that state has on the body. The men,
tai state can do great things, the
speaker said, but it cannot do every
thing. He made sharp dist notion
between functional diseases and or
ganic diseases. He said that func-
tional disorders were caused by an
organ not working properly, when it
was apparently sound, and this could
be Influenced to health by mental
healing. But if there was an organic
disease, such could not be helped UNI
til the cause was rel eved He asked
for cooperation with divine Power in
securing the good things of the world;
the soil, season, seed and sun, sup
piled by the Almighty, need the
blowing, the planting, the cultivatinC
and harvesting of the human race to
secure results. He emphasized the
thought that God will not do for
anybody what he can do for himself" -,
and he closed with the thought thPt
knowledge is only matter of history
and that it requires faith to make
people great.
An eloquent talk along the line OF
the aims and purposes of chautauqua

Older But Stronger

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your
blood pure and rich and active with the

Freedom

The day was dark and cloudy and
the snow came falling down, while l
sat alone and listened in the stiffness
all profound My cottage door stood
open, for spring was then at hand,
and the feathery snowfakes melted
as they fell upon the sand. Long
time | watched the snowfiakes as they
fell upon the ground, while heard a
song of sweetness, a cheerful, mellow
sound. And it thrilled through all
my being like q pulse OF calmest JOY,
and | thought the life that made 1t
must be peace without alloy. Then
I heard shriller crying, like little
bird in pain, and a swoop OF heavy
pin ons from out the snowy rain. Like
an arrow through my doorway came
q little meadow lark, and he lit upon
nv window, still he sat as il to bark.
And the broad wings Of falcon dart
ed past my open door, and from out
my pleasant window | saw him up
ward soar. Then I turned to the little
larkv sitting on my window frame,
and with widest fear he trembled,
while he seemed so meek and tame.
His beak was slightly parted, and
his eyes d d widely strain, while his
breast convulsed was heaving as IL
with fearful pain And kindly feel
ing kindled for my hapless little
friend, and | fondly wished to keep
him till his little fe should end. Then
no hawk should ever chase him, nor
fear should heave his breast, nor
beast from out the forest should eer
rob it's little nest. But | thought OF
wire cages with their iron p3ison
walls. where no mate could hear his
love note or answer to his calls.
Would he love it as the sunlight, ana
long flights in happy a r? Sailing over
lovely meadows, freely roaming every
where. AS I thought, he began TO
futter hard against the window pane,
never asking my protection-h longed
to hy again. | walked up to the VIM
dow and caught him in my hand, took
him out my open doorway and let his
wings expand. And he flew away Ger
the meadow, oh, how glad he sailed
along; and from out that lovely grass
lot | heard him sing song. And 1t
seemed a shout for freedom, all mel
lowed down with joy, and l thought,
how sweet thus living, though harp
les" may annoy. BENZ. SIMONDS.

 REQUEST OF WILSON
Sunday Schools of Nation Asked to Contribute to Red Cross in Gen.
 erOus Way

Washington, June 27.-Patriotie Sunday is to be observed next Sunday in all the Sunday schools of the United States in response to an appeal by President Will son to observe the day by generous giv- ing to the Red Cross. President Wilson's letter follows:
 ITO the Officers. Teachers and Scholars of the Sunday Schools of the United States of America: The present insistent call of our beloved country must be heard and answered by every citizen of the United States in proportion to his or her ability to maintain the national power and honor. Many citizens will render their aid by force of arms on the battle field, while others will make the na- ton strong by their patriotic gifts and support to the common cause. It is, therefore, highly befitting that the Sum day schools of the nation should observe a special patriotic day, and on this oc- casion should make a special contribu- ton to the American Red Cross for the alleviation of the suffering entailed by
 is my earnest hope that your generosity may be unstinted in this, the hour of the nations need, and that this special day may mean much to you in the under taking of the, cause of which our be- loved land now takes.

Coal Association Paid,
 States Letter Produced

New York, June 27.-The financial ad- vantage of the existence of the Smoke less Coal Operators association was ap- parently indicated in a letter intro duced by the government today in the trial of operators and corporations in the semibituminous fields of Virginia and West Virginia, who are defendants in the federal court here on a charge of restricting trade and fixing prices. The communication dated December G. 1915, was written by J. A. Renahan of this city, to Justus Collins of Cincinnati, and read in part
 q talked with John Tierny here last week in a general way about the asso- citation and it's future. He fully realizes that from 1910 to the present time the as- sociation even IS a rope of sand has piled up to date $18,0000O0 more money in the smokeless fields than if they had been in chaotic condition. He is quite inclined to agree that 1t would certainly pay to have permanent bureau with a representative executive who would have nothing to do except attend to this busi- ness.
 Admitting that the fields have saved CT made $1S,000,000 which they otherwise would not have made, it looks like a mere pittance to figure on a permanent bureau and the expenses thereof"
 w. R. J. Zimmerman, secretary of the association. was on the stand nearly all of today, Counsel for the defense ques- tioned him with view to bringing out that car shortage was one reason for restriction of supply of coal to the public and that abnormal cost of steel and other materials due to the war situation was factor in the higher coal prices. The witness asserted the defendants had no agreement to fix prices.

Burnett Holds Officials
 Violating Immigration Law

Washington, June 27.-(Special )--That attempts are being made by high off cials of the government to nullify the inn migration law passed by Congress over the Presidents veto, was the decara- ton of Congressman John l.. Burnett of Alabama, before an open meeting of the United American Mechanics tonight
 Congressman Burnett said two men were largely responsible, Commissioner of Immigration Caminetti and Assistant Sec retary Post of the department of labor.
 These men are allowing the meanest and dirtiest of the Mexicans to enter our country on the pretense of military neces sity claiming they are needed as farm laborers, but under this law their ad- mission is absolutely prohibited, he said
 He declared a number of French Ca nadians were being allowed to come into this country presumab bly, for the same pur pose, but also contrary to the law. He said unless this practice is stopped an excuse could be found at any time to allow anyone to enter this country. not withstanding the specific prohibitory clauses in the law.
 As already reported Mr Burnett has in troduced a bill to deprive officials of that authority to suspend the law, which they think they possess.

IRON AND STEEL ' INTERESTS ALARMED
 AT TIE SITUATION

Cleveland, June 27.-(Special. )-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Active interest not without concern in restoration of a more stable market in iron and steel is growing among pro- ducers and consumers. Present condl- tions are drifting so far from the moor ings of precedent and sound business standards that industry largely is at sea and is becoming more confused steadily.
 Prices of raw material are so high and still are rising that the speculative element for the producer in selling is not much less than that for the consumer in buying for future delivery.
 How this is working out in case of pig iron can be gauged from the statement that the average shipping price today is SEQ or more per ton under the prevailing market while manufacturing costs have been going up by wide margins
 Under these circumstances increasing probability of government control of in- coming in for more attentive considera- ton.
 Pig iron is beginning to figure more prominently in general trade discussion of the need of more restricted price movements.
 This apparently has been stimulated by the appearance of large inquiries by the government for it's own war account and for that of allies. Meanwhile buying pressure in excess of supplies or unwill- ingness of producers to sell is sustaining the upward sweep of prices.
