Editor Major Brown of the Pinel-
las home guards, whose foresight
has already secured for his army 80
rifles and 10000 cartridges, now in
sists that his county receive 166 of
the guns and a third of the ammu-
milton secured by Congressman Drane
for the state and awarded by the gov
ernor to Mr.. Drane's district. We
are more afraid than ever that Edi-
tor-Major Brown has become Prus-
sianized. With already 80 guns
and 10000 cartridges, this distribu-
ton will give him 476 guns and 12,-
500 rounds, while all the rest of the
district will have only 334 guns and
5000 shots. Suppose Editor-Major
Brown should take it into his head
to invade Hillsborough or Polk. We
hope Mr.. Drane will give those guns
to the guards of Tampa and Lake
land and (let's see, isn't there a COM
pany in Lake, so they may be able
not only to defend their own counties
but possibly help out Marion. We
don't know what time Editor Major
Brown will think it is his duty to
impress an A. C. L. train, entrain his
guards and come up here to disperse
the vigilance committees and mobs''
of Marion county.

Says the DeLand News: "Meatless
days for Florida should be all poppy
cock. If the proper effort were made,
Volusia county alone could produce
all the meat consumed in the whole
state of Florida, and the other 81
counties could export their products.
We need more farmers and hog
raisers. Help them to make money on
what they produce and the land will
soon be utilized. Make life on the
farm more attractive and remunera-
tive, and the farms will not be de-
serted and the country a dead waste.
Theer are hundreds of thousands of
acres of land between the ST. Johns
and the Halifax, every two acres of
which could support one cow, instead
of paltry 10000 head for the entire
county. 1t is hoped that the efforts
of the DeLand Commercial Club to
create a local market for all farm
products of a staple character will re-
suit in the cultivation of many more
acres of land than heretofore"

Some of the English newspapers
are demanding that the British fleet
ego in" and get the Germans. The
German fleet is about as much use
to Germany at the present time as
the Greek Testament would be to a
toad. The German feet is really a
liability to Germany, and not an as
set. It requires many thousands of
men to man the German feet, and
these men might be at the front if
the vessels were not afioat. If the
British fleet "went in" and lost so to
70 per cent of its vessels, the news
papers that now demand action"
would be the first to condemn the
'foolishness. Iceland News.
They should put some of the arm
chair admirals on the ships-then
perhaps action would not look so de-
sirable to them.

WILLIAM DIDN'T WORRY

Sunday afternoon, some enemy of
John Bats, Sibbald Wilson and Will
lam Avery loaned them a one-lunged
fiivver, with which they journeyed 70
Silver Springs. While they tarried
at that pleasant spot, there came
along a classy auto in which were
three fairies. The said fairies smiled
at William, whereupon he forsook
Sibbald and John and joined the
fairies in their chariot. Very sad, but
forgiving, for either of them would
have done the same thing, Sibbald
and John cranked up their hunka tin
and departed at a rate Of not less
than eight miles an hour, their sor-
row by no means diminished when a
few minutes later William and the
fairies, travelling at a comfortable
twenty, passed them like they were
standing still.
A little the other side of Fort King
church, their go-cart refused to go.
They got out and looked for the trou-
Bile, looked in and around and under
the fivver, cranked and re-cranked
it-that is, John did. Sibbald said he
didn't know anything about the blam-
ed thing anyhow, and wasn't going to
break the Sabbath learning, so he sat
in the car and smiled his sweetest
smile.
Presently along came Harley
Marsh, driving John Needham's little
REQ, which always frets when it isn't
making thirty miles an hour. Harley
is a kind-hearted youth, so he pulled
up and asked if he could help.
"Tell US what's the matter with
this blamed thing" said John-we
think he said "blamed," tho it didn't
sound like it.
maybe you are out of gasoline, I"
said Harley.
So John, in nautical language,
sounded the well and found it dry.
And Harley couldn't spare any gas,
for he had barely enough to take him
to town.
"Get, out and push, boys" said one
of Harley's passengers, a man who
seldom gives anything but advice.
"Why don't you walk in? ?" said an
other of the same character "John
can make it in forty-fve minutes and
Sibbald in thirty"
'Not at the present price of shoe
leather" said Sibbald.
"Well," said Harley, "I'll catch up
with William and tell him to come
back and help you"
So he let the REQ out, and present
ly caught up with William, who was
comfortably riding, with the fairies,
and smiling as he rode, and told him
of the predicament of his late part
ners. But William kept on riding and
smiling and said he should worry.
But he evidently didn't, because when
we saw Sibbald with some other fair
les after church time, he said he and
John had to wait two hours before
they were rescued.
We understand that Sibbald men
tally mapped out several new car
toons during those two hours, as he
sat in the flivver, his arms and his
legs folded and communing with the
serene beauty of the Indian summer
evening.

When American troops went into
the trenches to relieve the French
the other night, the 'poilus" received
them with the greatest enthusiasm.
They were not allowed to make a
noise, but they shook hands with the
Americans, slapped them on the
back, Rugged good many and even
kissed some. Very emotional peo-
pie, the French, but that doesn't pre-
vent them being among the finest
fighters in the world.

but the fact that $4,000 Filipinos,

how or other the old flag has come to
mean something to the little brown

Splendid Affair Was Carried

HELP FOR The NEEDY
Fourth at Vernon Nicely Cele-
brated BY Number of
Family Picnics
Especial to Free Press.]

From thursdays Daily.
Vernon, July 5.-The glorious Fourth
has come and gone. Vernon people
celebrated as pleased their fancy,
some going to Madelia, others to Lake
Crystal, while by far the largest num-
Der remained in the home vicinity

dinners
Weather permitting, branch of the
Mankato Red Cross will be organized
in Vernon Center Thursday evening,
where big meeting is planned in the
hall at eight o'clock. Everybody in a
radius of the town will be present.
The annual "mite-box" opening of
the home missionaries at the home of
Mrs. Edward Washburn, Tuesday aft
ernoon from three until five o'clock,
was very enjoyable affair. The aft
ernoon being ideal, the meeting was
held on the lawn, rugs were laid to
form a large circle on which chairs
were placed. A large bowl of queen of
the prairie roses made a beautiful
centerpiece for the round table in the
center of the circle, on which the
HllJS-UOASS were anu IuS COutCuIS
counted by Mesdames Partridge,
Wendlandt and Kock. The receipts
were SIS. Mrs. Wendlandt gave the
yearly report, showing the splendid
work done by the ten members who
meet once a month. During the year
$12.28 was sent to the deaconess home,
$12 to the missionary conference, SO
to the Girls Home, complete furnish

fruit to the home. Concluding her re-
port, Mrs. Wendlandt thanked each

SLASH OMAHA TRAIN
SERVICE To CITIES
Proposed Elimination of Pas
senger Conveyances Will
Occur On Sunday

Ticket Agent w. R. Spornitz of the
Omaha road has received word from
the company headquarters that a
new time card will go into effect on
the Omaha next Sunday Train No.
IL, leaving here daily at 5:15 p. m,
for the cities, will be annulled, as
will also the train which reaches
here at 1915 at noon, daily Train
No. II, arriving here at 11:25 p. M,
will not run any farther than Man
kato, and will be returned to the
twin cities as train No. 16, in the
morning.
The proposed elimination of the
train which arrives here at 1915,
noon, and that one which leaves this
station at Sis p. m, will mean that
trains Nos. and 4, called the linn
tied trains on the Omaha, will have
to care for the local traffic between
Mankato and the twin cities. On
Sunday, train No. 8 will be consider
ably delayed owing to the necessity
of handling an extra amount of traf
fic between the cities and Mankato
Twin city morning papers will be
delayed in reaching readers also. In
fact the cutting out Of the trains
mentioned will cripple the service
between Mankato and the twin cities
not to mention overloaded coaches
and the attendant annoyances which
will be forced upon passengers. Sc
far as The Free Press can learn nc
good reason exists why the train
service should be reduced.
TT tho Chino M;l,ror1zoo o,d

SNUFF it would take advantage OF
the opportunity presented to install

twin cities, operate it out of this

titled to quick service to ST. Paul

that even with the strictest censor
