Mob Spirit Roundly
Denounced By Mr..
Wilson In Speech
(Ry The Associated Press)


Washington, July 26.-President
Wilson today in a personal statement
addressed to his fellow countrymen.
denounced mob spirit and mob action,
called upon the nation to show the
world that while it fights for demo-
cracy on foreign fields it is not de-
stroying democracy at home.
The president referred not alone to
mob action against the suspected alien
or enemy sympathizers: he denounced
most emphatically mob action of all
sorts, especially lynchings, and while
he did not refer specifically to lynch
ings of negroes in the south, IT Is
known that he included them in his
characterization of mob spirit as
blow at the heart of ordered law
and humane Justice"
1t is known that the lynchings of ne
groes. as well as attacks upon those
suspected of being enemies or sym
pathizers, have been used by German
propaganda throughout Central and
South America as well as Europe, to
contend that the pretensions or the
United States as a champion Of demo-
crazy are a sham.
Deeply concerned by the situation,
the president decided to address his
fellow countrymen and to declare
that every mob contributes to Ger
man lies about the United States what
her most gifted liars cannot improve
upon by way of calumny.'
The presidents statement in full is
as follows:
MY fellow countrymen: l take the
liberty of addressing you upon sub
ject which so vitality affects the honor
of the nation and the very character
and integrity of our institutions and
trust you will think me justified in
speaking very plainly about it.
II allude to the mob spirit which
has recently here and there very fire.
quently shown it's head amongst us,
not in any single region, but in many
and widely separated parts of the
country. There have been many
lynchings and every one of them has
been a blow at the heart of ordered
law and justice. No man who loves
America, no man who really cares for
her fame and honor and character or
who is truly loyal to her institutions
can justify mob action while the
courts of justice are open and the
government of the states and the ma
ton are ready and able to do their
duty. We are at this very moment
fighting lawless passion Germany
tions because she has disregarded the
sacred obligation of law and has made
lynchers of her armies. Lynchers
emulate her disgraceful example. I
for my part. am anxious to see every
community in America rise above that
level, with pride and a fixed resolu-
ton which no man or set of men can
afford to despise.
I'VE proudly claim to be the cham
pions OF democracy. IF we really are,
in deed and in truth. let us see TO Ii
that we do not discredit our own. i

A TYPICAL AMERICAN FIGHTER.

Sergeant Charles Conneley, of Los Angeles,
CAL, is our kind of fighter. He never gets
enough of it until the final victory is won. Last
November Sergeant Conneley went lover there"
to give the Hun taste of u. S. A. fighting. That
means he got into khaki almost as soon as the
United States got into war.
Hun shell sent him back home, shrapnel hit
him in the eye.
"But am going back" he said after he had
been in the old U. S. A. few days. "They need
me over there. If this eye gets well I'm
going back with a gun after the Hun. If Uncle
Sam won't let me get back into the trenches with
a gun, why, I'll go back with the Y. NJ c. A. or
Red Cross and do what 1 can I'll pay my own
way if I'm not accepted back into the service.
They can't keep me from going back, just as soon
as that eye of mine gets over the shock of hav-
ing stopped piece of shrapnel."
Gee whizl Can you wonder why the kaiser's
quaking in his onnery boots every time he thinks
of several million Yanks like Sergeant Conneley
being let loose on him?

THE GENIUS OF FOCH.

Distinguished military critics of all nations
are marvelling over the genius of General Foch.
The allies acclaim him the greatest strate-
gist of all tme while the central powers view his
achievement with amazement
The Rochester IN. W Herald compares Foch
with Stonewall jackson, and says:
There is great deal in the military genius
of General Foch to recall that 'evil spirit that
lowered over the union TANKS in the civil war
Stonewall Jackson. The same imperturbable self
command, the same fatal instinct for the weak
ness in the enemy's line of attack defense, the
same patient waiting till that weakness should
uncover itself, the same swift decision and sud-
den stroke, the same skillful choice of the hour
and the conditions most favorable to surprise
even the same abandonment of familiar for pre-
viously untried expedients, that made Jackson
the terror of every federal division in the Vir-
ginia swamps and hills, were disclosed when Foch
turned his thirty -mile line of defenders into an
irresistible tidal wave of attack.
Foch has disclosed to the eyes of the allied
world the most superb and the most successful
military genius of the war. He is a Napoleon, a

MAN POWER FOR THE FARMS.

1t is believed that one of the first activities of
the United States employment service, after full
authority is conferred upon it, will be to place
men who are now engaged in useless service in
the cities.
In commenting upon the farm situation the
department of agriculture says:
Agriculture has contributed its due share of
man power to the army-perhaps no more, GER
tainly no less.
Other industries that have contributed man
power to the army have recruited man power
from the farms.
Despite this disturbance, the farmers this
year increased their production over last year,
which was an increase over the year before; they
have worked more days and more hours and have
put their families at work; women have labored
in the fields while their babies slept in the shade
labored while many city children have played.
The farmers not continue to increase pro-
duction in the volume needed at the same time
send more man power to the army and the city
industries 1t would not be fair to require it. if
it were possible to accomplish it.
The only source of labor is the useless service
of the cities-able bodied men employed for
luxury or mere convenience and at tasks which
women can perform.
The crops are not all gathered; next years
crops are to be considered; food production must
not fail.

WOULD HELP THE FARMER

WOULD HELP THE FARMER
The national council of defense strongly urges
prompt establishment of rural motor truck
press lines in all sections of the country where
such service would prove practical and efficient
in bringing farm products to the local market.
Despite the unprecedented demand for food
great quantities are wasted because the farmer
cannot profitably get it to market.
The rural motor express line increases the
food supply by furnishing regular transportation
of farm products; stimulates the farmers eff
forts by the knowledge that such transportation
is available; enables the farmer to avoid driv
ing to town, thereby increasing his time on the
farm and partly compensating for the shortage
of labor; enables the farmer to obtain go->-
from town en- the day of order, and generally
and the consumer.
Hundreds of lines are in operation. There
are several running into Washington and carry
ing 100 tons of food daily. as well as carrying
merchandise back to the farmers Production
has been greatly stimulated and many farms
previously idle are now under cultivation.
There has been considerable local discussion
as to the advisability of establishing such line
in Escambia county, with Pensacola its base.
1t is certain that the project would prove of
great value to our farmers, but no complete sur
vey has been made to determine whether not
it would be profitable as business venture.
A line running from Pensacola would, in all
probability, gather capacity loads each trip
and would also fill need in carrying supplies TO
the farmers outward trips But, obviously,
the line in itself would not be- sufficient There
would necessarily have to be efficient market
ing organization, to make that the farmer
would receive fair return from his products af-
ter they reach the city.
There has been much talk of local clearing
house for West Florida farm products, but moth
ing definite has materialzed.
The recommendation of the council of defense
may result in the project taking definite shape
and providing what has long been the dream of
our tanners fair local market, with salts
factory transportation facilities.
The matter is at least worthy the serious con-
sideration of some energetic man with little
capital who is seeking an attractive business OPP
portunity.

1t is perhaps even more important to have a
good fall garden in the South than it is to have
good spring garedn, becaus Elm the spring there
is supply of commercially grown vegetables
while in the fall and winter the supply from this
source is limited. A large portion of the vege-
tables consumed in the South during the winter
must be obtained from the North unless home
gardens are worked to the full extent.

WHEN THINGS BEGIN TO GROW
BY /. M. BENNINGTON.

! Our old friend, Aristotle, knew what
he was talking about, and it is not
wise to assume that planting time has
come with the first fine day.
Do not be in a hurry to put things
in the ground. With the exception of
peas, lettuce and few other hardy
vegetables it is better to wait until the
soil becomes perfectly dry and thor
oughly warm.
Do not be afraid of fertilizing too
heavily. See that all parts of the gar
den are well drained and have every
thing ready for work when settled
weather comes.
There is nothing that will injure
garden soil for that matter, so much
as to work it when it is wet.
Wet working of the soil causes it to
be hard and cloddy, destroying its
good physical condition and causing it's
rich plant foods to be locked up SO that
they are not available for use.
Lettuce and peas, also sweet peas,
for ornament, may be planted while
there is yet frost in the ground. These

One of the Old Favorltes You Should
FOR THE FLOWER GARDEN
BY E. VAN BENTHuYsEN.

After the vegetable seeds we must
select nice lot of flower seeds, and
there must always be the old favorites
among the ANIMALS, such as:
One package blue ageratum.
One-half ounce sweet alyssum.
One package mixed snapdragon.
One package victoria asters.
One package mixed calendula.
One package mixed calliopsis.
One package early Towering cosmos,
mixed.
One package mixed single dahlia.
One package tall mixed annual lark
spur.
One package gaillardia.
One package annual gypsophila.
One package impaticus sultana,
mixed.
One package African marigolds.
One package Japanese morning glo-
ries.
One package nigells, or love in the
mist.
One package Shirley peoples.
One package columbine.
One package phlox drummondi.
One ounce of mixed sweet peas.
One package mixed double large
flowing zinnias.

and some others are very hardy plants
and can stand cold and frost without
injury.
In planting them in order not to in
jure any of the other garden soil
choose the driest and warmest place
that can be found and cultivate them
separate from the other later crops.
Early lettuce is best planted in
small bed, and may be protected and
forced during cold spells by placing
over 1t light-colored thin cloth, or bet
ter yet, glazed window sash or any
other glass covering.
Many truck gardeners grow all their
early lettuce in board frames, covered
with thin white cloth. This is also
good, cheap protection for the grow
ing of many early plants.
Start tomato and cabbage plants
either in the house in boxes or In the
hotbed and have large plants for early
use when the open garden season is
ready. Give these young plants plenty
of sun and air to make them thrifty
and hardy.
1t is a good plan to set the seed
boxes outside during the day for sew
eral days that the young plants may
become accustomed to the open atmos-
phere.
Where young plants are grown in
the hotbed the sash should be entirely
removed during the day for several
days before TRANSFORMING, or the plants
should be set in a cold frame Tor hard
ening.
A tender, early forced plant will
make inferior growth and will not ma
ture any earlier than one grown from
seed in the open garden.
For those who care to make extra
money from the garden, there is always
n good demand at high prices, for very
early cabbage and tomatoes especially
the latter, in nearly every town and
city.
Cabbage can be forced to early ma
turlty by planting it in rich soil and
giving liquid manure about twice a
week.
Early tomatoes may be forced by
planting them in the warmest soil in
the warmest place in the garden, and
training them on stakes so that they
will receive all possible sunshine.
Trim the vines so that only a small
amount of fruit will set.
