PARIS. France. Oct. 2s.-Thc
French minister OF agriculture and
supplies has acted TO stop profitcer'
Ing against American soldiers
Store keepers have been selling
American and British troops their
goods at prices higher than those
charged TO French civilians and In
an order issued to all tho projects
OF France, the minister of agricul'
turc has condemned this practice
and ordered that Il DO stopped.
II cannot condemn too greatly
such a procedure" he says "as II Is

OF the increases In prices may be
explained at least In part by the
difficulties OF our retailers In getting
provisions and the work OF our small
producers. But these reasons can
not Justify the asking OF higher
prices to men who are united TO us

The government Is therefore re

provinces" there Is no doubt how the
people stand.
Are the people of France war-weary?
Yes :" so are those of all Europe. But
they are not weary to the point of
even thinking of giving up the strug-
gle, despite, or, rather, because of, the
fact that of all the allies Frances bur
dens and her sacrifice in blood and des-
olated homes has been the greatest.
In tour of the wnr zone and of the
provincial towns behsAd the lines, from
the channel to Switzerland, one may
find everywhere abundant evidence OF
n relentless determination, among both
soldiers and homefolks, to see the
thing through.
But the predominant sentiment in
France today Is one Of intense graft
tude that America has come in to help.
Any fieeting doubts as to the outcome
were dispelled with the arrival of the
Sammies.

Mothers Suggestion.

The son of certain resident of the

talking machine recently, relates the
indianapolis News, The mother
thought it very foolish to put so much
money in such n contrivance and asked
why it was needed. The son explained
that IL he was in another part of the
house he would not need to rush into
the room to turn the machine off after
it had finished playing the record.
"Many times have had to run into the
room to answer the telephone when IT
rings" she replied, "when | am In an

FLYERS BREAK ALL AERIAL RECORDS

Paris.-So many speed and distance
records have been shattered and set
and then surpassed again by allied
aviators that 1t is doubtful If the best
performances will ever be Strengthened
out and set down on the official books.
But aviators have been flying from
points In England and in France to
the italian front every day, as the
British and French war offices have
outdone themselves in their efforts to
reinforce the French aviation sery-
ice. Pilots just breyeted-and there
were a certain number of Americans
among them-soared into the air, and
following the lead of an instructor
or some veteran aviator set their
course for Italy.

plane two months before, duplicated
the feat of Roland Garros which
startled the world a few years ago ;
the traversing of the italian Alps.
Flights of 400, 500 and 600 miles with
out stop were common occurrences.
And in all cases the average speed
was considerably more
than 100 miles an hour.
One of General Cadorna's first re-
quests to the French and British was
for endorsements In airplanes and
pilots. The Germans had assembled
several score Of their best fighting and
bombarding escadrilles on the italian
front and had struck ruddenly in Il
body. In one day the German forma-
tons had practically cleared the air
of Italian fighting aircraft, and they
followed up this advantage by nd
ing over into the italian lines squadron
after squadron of bombing machines.
Incendiary bombs and aerial torpe-

does were ralned on the italian avia-
ton fields and the hangers and Italian
aircraft burned together.
Both the French and British general
staffs realized that without its "eyes"
the Italian army might wander into
traps and pitfalls. And they gave the
order at once to re-enf0rce the Italian
aviation service with their own es-
cadrllles. The order went out to all
the aviation camps and schools In
England and France. Within a few
hours the orders were being executed.
Pilots having passed their brevets
were mustered out on the fields. They
were told to wear two leather and rub
her union suits instead of the single
garment they usually wear. The gaso-
line tanks were filled and they were
instructed to follow the leader. Then
they scared of In long coveys, all
headed toward the Italian Alps
Cover Vast Territory.
Some of the British machines went
clear across England, traversed the
channel. then scared over France and
scaled the Alps and proceeded straight
on to the Tagliamento line without
ever descending. French machines
flew from remote corners of the re-
public over the great mountain range
and across the plains of Lombardy to
Udine, arriving there before the ltal-
ians were forced to retreat from that
strategic railway center.
| may not even vaguely indicate the
number of airplanes that were sent
from France and England, but l can
state that the number of accidents was
as low as the average total for day
at any of the big aviation schools.

From all this 1t appears that
the Monroe doctrine cannot be
justified. 49,. So 1t remains
only what we Europeans have
described as an inspiration. And
so 1t remains only what we Eu-
ropeans almost universally con-
slider 1t, an impertinence. With
noisy cry they try to make an
impression on the world and
succeed, especially with the stu
pid. The inviolability of the
American soil is invoked with
out there being at hand the
slightest means Of warding Off

ropean power.--Johannes Vol

There is an evident connection of

encouraged the socialists to insist
that the war shall not be prlonged for

While most newspapers here at

upheaval and some infer that the Aus
trian government is encouraging the
movement in a genuine endeavor TO
promote peace, the fact that the CEN

RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED
At 4 RECENT MEETING Of
LIVE STOCK ASSOCIATION
Light Gives Out Interesting
Information Regarding Cooperative
Stock Breeding
A COMPARISON PLACES FLORIDA At THE BOTTOM

Mr.. L. S. Light of Reddick, repre-
sentative Of this county in the Flor
ida legislature. attended the recent
meeting of the Live Stock Associa-
tion held in Jacksonville, and after
making very interesting address on
the subject of cooperative breeding,
and the great benefits to be derived
therefrom, offered the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, Twenty years ago in my
neighborhOod there were ten acres of
open range to one of fenced land and
few cattle raised under private fenc-
es. Now there is five acres fenced TO
one OF open grazing land The small
farmer is compelled to either sell his
cattle or quit the business, and to en-
courage the grower to raise better
cattle is why an speaking thus.
Whereas, want to prove by COM
rarison that there is more profit in
good cattle. well taken care of under
private fences. than there is in open
range scrub cattle These cOmpari-
sons are facts and the truth. Mr.
Chambliss, banker and stockman OF
Ocala, had on exhibition at the Ma
rion county fair in 1916 one steer
three years old that weighed 1890
pounds, worth in the markets about
$125. l sold from open range five
head of four year old cattle for 1925
Mr.. Chambliss' one steer was worth
as much as my five. The Anthony
Farms, financed, / am inforced, by an
OCala bank. had three steers on exhi-
bition at the Marion County Fair Of
1917. that weighed 1900 pounds each,
worth in the Jacksonville markets
fully $3.50 each. or as much as five
steers from open range the same age
would sell for Mr. r. M. Meffert is
raising mule colts from good large
mares He sold in 1916 pair OF mule
colts for $500. ! sold the same year
pair of Florida common colts for
s175. Mr.. Maffert received nearly
three times as much for his good
stock per head as / did for my scrub
stock. Mrs. Lenker has pure bred
White Leghorn chickens. Lately she
gathered and sold from one weeks
laying % dozen eggs at 80 cents per
dozen, or S11 We sold from nearly
the same number Of hens two dozen
eggs at the same time, for which We
received 81, where Mrs. Lenker re-
ceiyed s11. The above makes me say
there is much more profit in good
stock, well taken care of, than in
scrub stock neglected Good stock
is a big asset to any state and people.
Florida raised one cow to each SS
acres of territory, one hog TO each 80
acres Of territory, or Florida has
about 100000 cattle and about 1,100.-
00e hogs. Iowa with 100000 acres
less IN area has 4,000. 600 cattle and

situation in the dual monarchy is be-
clouded the censorship having sJifed

also has prohibited German newspa-

Efforts OF Austrian statesmen to
quiet the Hungary people in their de-
mand for peace apparently failed Of
their purpose, and the censorship,
which permitted the promises of the
governments spokesmen to reach the
outside world, again mas resumed its
