tee on claims, that is, hearing where
one side only is presented and after
most of the acto<s have passed off the
stage by the laws of nature and most
of the men who had any frst-hand
knowledge of the case are dead, it is
not strange that at an ex parte hear

The gentleman from Portland (Mr.
Rounds), representing the majority of the
committee on claims and urging the pas
sage of the majority report, Is entirely
right in saying that this matter went to
the courts. He has probably been in
formed that it went to the courts in
sents a statement that the matter of the
Rumseller Michael Burns as a criminal
went to the courts in an irregular
fashion.
Now the case is reported in the SD
Maine. and anybody can read it and
will discover by reading 1t that Michael
Burns was indicted for an offence against
the prohibitory law or for selling liquor
under some one of the sections of the
statutes, and also for maintaining a nuis-
ance in the city of Augusta. He is in
error when he says that the full court
agreed in a decision for him.
There Is no question, and there has
never been any evidence before any leg

MEETING OF FARMERS
AT ORANGE SPRINGS

Orange Springs with its fine bath
| ing pool now walled in with a con
crete wall and it's white sandy beach
sloping to the deep center is one of
the most delightful spots in all FiCr-
ida for picnic as it affords the pleas
ure of bathing to the children, the
ladies and the strong swimmers and
deep divers. Bathing is free.
This famous old resort of Florida
will soon again be a popular resort
when the hard road is completed
from Palatka to the Marion county
line on which Orange Springs is To-
Gated as this road will be the most
attractive and direct route between
Jacksonville and Tampa.
In the meantime it is popular re-
sort for the people of the neighbor-
ing country who will gather there
Thursday, August 80, from all over
Putnam, Marion and Alachua coun-
ties to attend big, live stock meet
ing that has been arranged by the
people of Orange Springs.
This promises to be one of the
biggest farmers picnics held in Mar
ion county this summer, as County
Agents Blackjack and Cantrell of
Marion and Putnam counties are
both taking an active interest in the
gathering. Director Rolfe of the ex-
pertinent station and Dr.. E. M.
Neighbert of the cattle tick work
have promised to be present or have
representative there. DR.. A. M. Lo-
gan, federal expert on hogs, will be
one of the speakers and has promised
to arrange his engagements so that
he will be on hand. With hogs sell
| ing at $40 hundred pounds live
weight in Chicago, it is up to Marion
and Putnam county farmers to get
busy. DR.. Logan's talk will be par
ticularly interesting and valuable as
there is no line of live stock grow
ing that is so profitable as hog rails
ing if the farmer will surround his
hogs with sanitary conditions.
Commissioner L. M. Rhodes of the
state market bureau will be on hand
and talk to the farmers about CO.
operative marketing. He is doing a
lot of constructive work along this
line, having recently organized the
potato growers of the Hastings dis.
trict into cooperative body with a
capital of $4,000. They will pur-
chase supplies and sell their products
on cooperative system.
This will be a fine opportunity for
the Marion County Fair Association
to boost the Marion County Fair as
some of the best exhibits last year
came from the country around Or
ange Springs. Bring your basket and
bathing suit.

WOMEN AND GOLF.
Some Advice to Those Just Starting to

Some Advice to Those Just Starting to
Learn the Game.
'The grown woman who wishes to
start playing golf should Immediately
put herself into the hands of a good
professional teacher. 1t is far better
to go to some one whose business it is
to teach and who has had experience
along that line than to heed the in
structions of well meaning friends
according to Golf For Women by
Woman Golfer" quoted In the Chris
tan Science Monitor.
'There are two sides to teaching golf
one. the ability to demonstrate clear
ly what should be done and the other
the ability to see the pupils faults and
to correct them. Once having
chosen an instructor the pupil should
put herself entirely under his tutelage
and obey his beheStS as well as in her
lies.
"She should not dispute with him at
every point and. above all. should new
er say or think i can't but. on the
other hand. she should not hesitate to
ask any question that comes to her
She should know the reason
why for every move she makes. and no
false shame at displaying ignorance
should prevent her from asking even
what may seem a foolish question.
when a woman eng b :es the serv-
ices of professional tea D er her whole
attention should be given to
finding out everything she can in the
time at her disposal. If she will do this
assiduously and will practice between
lessons what she has learned she will
soon become we'll grounded in the
rudiments of the game. Golf
is a game that requires great deal of
practice at all stages, even when one
ranks as a really good player. -"
IF one learns to stand, to hold her
club, to make her swing and to time
her stroke correctly she will find that
she has achieved good form without
being aware Of it. but no one can OBJ
tain good form by trying to cultivate
it for it's own sake -"

TROOPS IN CAMP.
Lines by Which They Are Protected
From the Enemy.


From the Enemy.
Security has the same meaning in
the military world as elsewhere. We
properly think of the security of our
persons, our property, our families, in
connection with the term. In the mill
tary world the family, or community.
being so much larger, the word 'secu
rity" acquires additional dignity.
A body of troops in camp is protected
made secureJ by the use of groups
placed between the enemy and the
camp. We were told by a bee expert
in Arizona that a limited number of
bees remained in the vicinity of the
hive. They were quick to observe and
resist Ghe two great duties of an out
post any intruder.
We should know the names of these
groups. Farthest away is the line that
sees and reports what it sees, but can
offer only limited resistance. This Is
called the Zine of observation or the
'1ine Of outguards." In rear of the
line of outguards we have larger groups
placed at greater distances. These are
called supports" This is the line that

preparations for fighting Tor resisting

Some people who have noticed the
pope's peace proposition have figured
out that the three large Catholic
states of Germany-Bavaria, Wur-
temburg and Baden-can be set
against Protestant Prussia. In this
event, we see our guardians of liberty
organizing to attack Americans in the
rear at once. It isn't likely, however,
that such a move can go far. AS a
matter of fact, Prussia has treated
the Catholic states of South Ger
many much better than some of the
Protestant states-Saxony, for in
stance-and there is more disconten,
with the empire among those states
than among the Bavarians and Wur-
temburgers.

The Literary Digest publishes a
very vindictive and barbarous letter
which it is said was written, regard
ing the war, by 16-year-old school
girl to a friend in Switzerland. Said
letter doesn't read like it was writ
ten by a 16-year-old girl, nor by a
German. 1t was probably faxed for
some sensational London paper. The
more responsible London papers are
among the most reliable in the world
but there are some in that city that

Some of the early diplomats accred.

experiences even in times of peace. In
1873 the grand viZier, having inter

The government should not give
low postal rates to any but genuine
newspapers. Papers that are pub
lished simply and solely in the inter
est of one man, one group of men, one
particular set of opinions or some
particular monopoly should pay first
class postage. A ruling to that effect
would soon save the postal clerks a
lot of work and vastly reduce the
destruction of good white paper.

THE FALL GARDEN

Now is the time to prepare for and
plant that fall garden.
The average man does not give
enough attention to his fall garden
and the result is not satisfactory. A
fall garden given the same attention
and care will prove as profitable as
4 spring garden. Weeds grow faster
now and it will take a little more
work but food prices continue to
climb and the fall garden this year
will prove an economy.
Good preparation, fertilization and
cultivation will produce results. The
world needs all that we can produce.
You may not raise any to sell but
every bit you raise will save you
from buying that much and thereby
increases the amount available for
feeding our armies and our allies.
The people should substitute home
raised foods wherever possible for
the products of grains and meats.
Every time the housewife prepares
and serves anything which reduces
the amount of these staple foods CON
sumed by her family she is helping
to win the war.
While the saving may not be great
for one family the total throughout
the nation is very great. 1t is esti~
mated that slice of bread wasted by
each family in the United States each
day during a year uses the wheat
raised on At, 800 acres.
Use as many fresh vegetables as
POSSIBLE and help save the flour and
meat which will be needed.
