SCHOOLS OF STATE
WILL GET INCREASES
HOUSE SHOWS STRONG TENDEN-
CY TOWARDS GIVING 100000
OR $4,200,0oo.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-The outstanding
feature of Thursdays sessions of the
house was the strong sentiment ex-
pressed by various members on the
floor of the house indicating their in
tention to largely increase the appro-
priation for common schools from
1920, 900 last year to 100000 or 81.
100000 the present year.
Total appropriations allowed by the
appropriations committe for the pre-
sent year amount to $S,395. 62S64, as
against $7,213,SOO.7S last year AT its
Thursdays sessions the house voted
about $2,225,OO0 of this amount. OF
this amount $446,OOO was appropriated
to the University of Georgia and it's
branches. Georgia Tech being the
largest item, $11, 900.
At the morning session a mOtinon
was made and carried to take the COM
mon shcools item out of the order in
which it comes on the schedule of the
bill and give it first consideration.
Four amendments were introduced pro-
viding for an appropriation of $4,2OO,-
900 and the last to be introduced was
tina of Anderson of Jenkins to increase
the appropriation to $4,2OO,OOO. The
house resolving itself into com
mittee of the whole agreed to the lat
ter amendment by vote of 81 to 5S
As there is tendency to dispose prom
pity of the common schools bill, it
is likely it will come up again on Fri
dayand the Anderson amendment will
be the center of discussion when the
bill is called.

A LECLESS COMPANY
IS KANSAS CITY FIRM

Kansas City July S1.-cmfwypcmmm
Kansas City. Aug. usually a man
who has lost his legs is not greatly
sought after by employers. Kansas
City boasts of one firm, however, by
whom he is welcomed. This business
house is probably without a counter
part in the world, so far at all events
as its personnel is concerned. Its bus
mess is the manufacture of artificial
legs, and three partners can only mus
ter two sound legs among them.
Every employee of the firm, too,
is minus at least one leg. Even the
young women stenographers are more
or less legless, while the firms travel
ing men carry their samples about
with them without being burdened
with sample cases to hold them.
Their star drummer" in fact car.
ries two, for he lost both his legs sew
eral years ago in a railroad accident
In their stead he now uses two of the
firms products, each of different pat
tern, and which he willingly unscrews
when the occasion demands in order
to exhibit their advantages to pros.
pective customers.
Orders come from all parts of the
world. and school is held, either by
correspondence or at the company
offices, to teach people to walk on
their artificial legs. Altogether some
two hundred thousand persons have
been put on their feet" by this cur
iously stated companyxa company
which, speaking figuratiSely. may be
said to have hardly leg to stand upon

LOOK OUT FOR DIsLoYALTY

Charleston, S. c., April 20.-It has
come to the notice of this office that
many people fail to report suspicious
and disloyal acts or manifestations of
sympathy for the enemy, because of
uncertainty as to the proper official
to approach.
1t is very important that the gov
ernment should have the assistance of
all citizens in detecting enemy pro-
paganda or suspicious activities of in
dividuals, and you will do a service
in notifying your friends that any
communication addressed to "Intelli-
gence Officer, Headquarters South
eastern Department, Charleston, S.
c., will receive attention and be trans
mitted to the proper official of the
government for investigation. The
names of informants will not be di-
vulged and there need be no fear, on
the part of anybody, of getting into
trouble in case suspicious prove to be
unfounded.
Informants should indicate the ma
ture and source of their information,
as well as the time and place.

HE'LL SEE IT THRU
Extracts from a Letter Written by
Lieut.. Leslie ID. Anderson to
a Friend in America
Somewhere in France, March 81.

Somewhere in France, March 81.
Dear
Received the communique from you
on conditions in M day or two ago.
The news from that town seems to
consist chiefly of accounts of Red
Cross work and about how many COM
presses have been made by the La
dies Aid. Sounds fine, syou know, to
have people tell you that so many
hundred congresses have been made
for the soldiers. / have heard about
one on me now.
/ should like to give lots of news
about what's going on but writing OH
that subject is dangerous. You never
can tell when remark of yours will
just complete some chain of informa,
tion. You, of course, know that l
have been with the regular army for
sometime, and that | am really and
truly in it at last. It's not bad, though,
and / really wouldn't feel comfortable
if were again in citizens clothes over
there, knowing as l do now just what
is going on over here. It's great to
be a part of it and it's worth all the
sacrifices you must bear and the
dangers you must encounter. Once
in while, you know, you must "obey
that impulse" and flop in the mud, but
with little practice that comes easy.
1t all sounds rather horrible in the
papers, but if you can keep your
head, see the humor of it, and also
keep your mind on the business in
hand and not on the possibilities, you
can have a fairly good time over
here.
It would do your heart good to see
what is going on and the way these
boys take to the game. You know
there never was a game, requiring
lots of action, skill and "guts" that
Americans haven't excelled in-and
this is going to be their greatest sue
cess.
| should love to see the folks again
and one or two other people as well,
but I'd rather see this game through
than anything else at present. 1t is
an experience which will be invalua-
BILE to me if l live to apply what
learn here, and if l don't-well better
tive here; my own back yard is about
men than 1 have gone ahead, so it
does not seem so bad.
We do not get much of a perspec-
all / know anything about. We get
intelligence reports, of course, but
you are not far enough away to get a
view of the thing as a whole. So, for
information as to activities here you
can get better dope from the news
papers than can give you.
| should be glad to have you write
to mother as soon as you get this, as
l want her to hear from me as often
as possible directly and indirectly. /
am sometimes afraid she may be bad
ly worried, particularly about now,
because one of my best friends from
home has gone.

BOUGHT $1O72OO WORTH
Of LIBERTY BONDS
OCALA PATRIOTISM GREATLY STIMULATED BY VISIT
Of THE WAR RELIC TRAIN
(Assoca Pressl
ASSOCIATED Press)

The visit of the war relic train here
this morning was great stimulus to
patriotism. When the people saw the
grim reminders of the terrible strug-
gle our men and their allies are now
in across the ocean, they did not fail
to do their duty in financial way to
help their nable defenders.
The train pulled in from the north
on time, and took its place alongside
the A. C. L. station between Broad
way and Oklawaha avenue. 1t con-
sisted of two fatcars, baggage car
and a coach, the latter used as quar-
ters for the officers and men in charge
of the train.
On the fiatcars stood some of the
fieldpieces and machine guns that had
been used in France. All showed
sign of strenuous service, and the
muzzle of one of the cannon was
dented where a Teuton shell hao
struck it fair and square on the lip.
There were also several stands of
small arms, all of which had been
used in the trenches until they were
worn out. 1t doesn't take long to use
up rifle now when it's barrel can be
heated red-hot in minutes firing.
The train was in charge of Cap
tain Woodward of the regular army.
With him was Lieut.. Porter, a nom
commissioned officer and a squad of
men, all regulars.
Nh. u CaL1aro41 1f
the naval recruiting officer who was
here over year, was also with the
party.
Notice was given to the town by
the soldiers lining up on the forward
fiat and firing several volleys of
blanks in rapid succession. 1t wasn't
long before the depot platform and
adjoining streets were crowded. A
considerable number went thru the
train, viewing the relics, among
which were parts of Teuton and most
of French airplane, shattered in
battle.
The gathering was addressed by
w. L. Mcdonald of Atlanta, who had
charge of the civilian end of the
pal Gy, cA0O Dy OL.1 LICE VI aLldIiId, anu
by "Pat" Martin, grandson of our
honored old soldier, Col. Martin. Mr..
Martin is cashier of the Lowry Ma
tional Bank of Atlanta.
The train was met by the represen-
tatives of our banks and the various
Liberty Loan committees and at least
a thousand people. 1t was a quiet
and earnest meeting. The people let
their money talk. In a very short
time they subscribed for $107, 200
worth of bonds.
When the meeting opened, some of
the visitors reminded the crowd that
Gainesville the night before had sub
scribed to the amount of $65,000, and
they probably had pleasant sur
prise when Ocala saw that amount
and went it over forty thousand dol
lars better.
We would like to give better de-
scription of the train and its visit, but
will have to content ourself with say
ing that everybody was glad it came,
none more so than those who sub
scribed to the limit of their resources.

Great Wheat Stocks
Isolated.

It's the shortage In ships that
Is putting the Allies and the
United States on wheat rations.
Great stocks of wheat are iso-
lated In India, and Australia. At
great sacrifice in ship space and
use the Allies are forced to Sc
cure some wheat from Argentina.
On January l, Australia had
stored 100000 bushels of
wheat that was ready for ex-
port-but there were no ships.
Then came the new crop with
an exportable surplus of S0,0O0,-
600 bushels. Now Australia has
approximately 1S0,O0O.OOO bush
els waiting for ships.
India, at the same time, had
100000 bushels of wheat
stored for export. During April
100000 bushels more out of
the new crop will be added to
the pile
Argentina closed the last ship
ping season with 100000
bushels of wheat left In the
stock available for export. The
new crop will add 135,00O.O to
the left over.
II is not a problem that the
wheat does not exist In the
worId-it is entirely a problem
of shipping, which has thrown on
America the obligation Of divid-
ing our stock with the Allies
