WILLIAMS EXCHANGE

He reaos everything bearing on the league of nations, and that which Is good. he clips. And then he asks unanimous consent to re- produce the good clipsing in the Con- gressional Record.
 He makes that request every day. And every day the republicans grow facetious. But they never withhold consent for Senator Williams has sorte- thing of long memory. and he would object, 1t is entirely probable, were the republicans to oblect to his wishes.
 Senator Smoot of Utah has generally expressed the opposifon. informal op- position. of the republican majority. But today. Senator Fall. of New Mext- co. relieved Senator Shoot of the duty. Said Senator Fall:

The union miners and the operators of the coal mines of the United States have one point of agreement. Both contend ing forces declare the public is being robbed.
 Some time ago, as is recalled, the union miners charged that the operators had conspired among themselves to force summer buying of a winter commodity, and to frighten the people to such extent
 that it would be very easy for them to maintain a constantly increasing price of coal In other words. the miners charged and Representative Huddleston of the Birmingham district went so far in their behalf as to ask for a congressional in- vestigation-that the operators were pre- pairing to blackjack" the public.
 And now the operators formally charge that the union miners threatening to strike November 1, have entered into a conspiracy to rob the people of s1,ooo,- Gj1,0O0.
 The explanation of that charge is con- tained in the following official statement issued by the National Coal association with Washington headduarters:

Beer Remains On Sale.

Wartime prohibition went into
effect at midnight, June 3O,-that is
as far as whisky is concerned,
but the liquor men, as has
been the case with every law that
was ever passed for the regulation
of the saloon business, are doing
everything in their power to defeat
the present measure. 1t is this very
fact that has done much to discredit
the whisky advocates, as decent peo-
pie respect laws when enacted,
whereas the whisky bunch have no
respect for any law that curtails
their profits and hunt ways to vi
olate it as soon as it goes into effect.
AS wartime prohibition took effect
Monday night the Department of
Justice announced that its agents
throughout the country would not
attempt to stop the sale of two and
three-quarters per cent. beer.
This eleventh hour development, a
fiat reversal of an earlier ruling by
the Department, was due to the I'M
certainty as to how the Federal Dis
trict Court of New York might rule
on a pending claim by brewers that
beer containing that much alcohol
was not intoxicating.
But while this uncertainty existed
as to beer of lighter alcoholic per-
centage than that sold generally
heretofore, full warning was gwen
that with respect to whisky and all
beverages as to whose intoxicating
powers there was no doubt, every
governmental agency would be set to
work in determined effort to pre-
vent their manufacture and sale.
How long the sale of two and
three-quarters per cent. beer might
continue would depend ordinarily
upon the speed of the Courts. but
Congress meanwhile will step to the
front in an effort to complete the
effectiveness OF the wartime law.

NOTICE.

Attention is called to Ordinance
No. passed by the Commissioners
of Rising Sun March 26, 1908, which
is as follows:
BE it enacted that the firing OF
rockets, bombs, squibs, fire-crackers
and all fireworks of any description
or any rifles, guns, or pistols within
the village limits be at all times for
hidden. All violators of this ordi-
nance will be subject to fine OF not
less than one dollar nor more than
five dollars and the costs of prose-
cution for each offense.'
In view of the fact that at this
time in particular all persons are
urged by the Government to econo-
mize, whereas the practice of dis
charging fireworks is exceedingly
wasteful as well as dangerous to life
and property, no change will be
made in this ordinance for the
fourth of July this year, and the dis
charge of fireworks is therefore
forbidden.

FARMERS HEADQUARTERS.
To Erect Temple OF Agriculture Al,
National Capital.

In the month of August 1918,
under auspices of the National Board
of Farm Organizations. large
body of representative men constltu-
ting the foremost agriculturists in
this country citizens of nationa,
reputation and recognized as leaders
in advanced thought in their respec-
tive fields of agricultural endeavor,
men of whom the American farmers
can be justly proud and in whom
they can repose absolute conf
dence-met in conference in Wash
ington, d. G. Thirty-seyen states
were represented. In addition to
tie delegates from the organizations
then members of the National Board
Of Farm Organizations, eighteen
other farm organizations, including
the National Grange and SIX state
Oranges sent some forty-eight repre-
sentatives to the conference.
The concensus of opinion express
sed at this conference was that the
inability of American farmers to
exercise their influence upon the
public matters affecting their vel
fare or even to express themselves
as unit upon public matters, has
been primarily due to the lack, OF CO.
operation between the organizations
representing them. In order TIC eff
feet a closer union of existing or
CARNATIONS and to form more per-
feet union of American farmers to
provide for their common interests,
and to promote their general well
fare resolutions were unanimously
adopted favoring the erection, en-
dowment and maintenance Oh a
Temple of Agriculture in the City OF
Washington to serve as a geneva
headquarters for the organized
farmers of America.
1t was agreed to raise the suul r
$6,500,000 by popular subscrip
tons; to expend $1,250,000 in tn
erection of building OF such CHAR
acter as will express the dignity OF
the industry to which it shall be
dedicated, and to insure permanent
headquarters in the greatest capital
city in the world, wherein all. its
complex and vital interests will be
centered and in which each farmers
organization shall have. place. The
balance of the fund accumulated
shall constitute an endowment.
Each of the forty-eight states
have been assessed a quota based
somewhat upon it's agricultural
wealth and organization to erect this
building.
Maryland's quota is $17,250, Cecil
county's apportionment being $1,000.
The Riggs National Bank OF
Washington, D. c., has been selected
as depositary and will receipt fol

The JOY of Living.

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No one can reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out of
life when his bowels are clogged a
good share of the time and the
poisons that should be expelled are
absorbed into the system, producing
headache and Indigestion. A few
doses of Chamberlain's Tablets will
move the bowels, strengthen the
digestion and give you a chance to
realize the real joy of living. Try it.
