Why Preachers Don't Strike.

If the Devil were not working "a
hours day, American preachers
might take strike vote and let the
country 60 straight TO-" so stated
the Rev. John Roach Straton of New
York.
"We preachers have a longer bill
of grievances, than any other class
of workmen,' he said. with the
exception of few fat, overpaid city
preachers, we do not get enough mon
ey; we are neglected and have to talk
to empty pews; our children don t
get the advantages they deserve.
If preachers had the same spirit
that labor has today we would parade
down Broadway carrying big signs
pleading for a 81 so an hour for over
time. We would hire Madison Square
Garden and bum up the seats with
our red-hot speeches. Then we would
draw up a resolution with a hundred
'whereas's' and end by stating fatty
that unless our demands were met at
once and without arbitration we would
strike.
THE only trouble with this plan
is that the Devil is working overtime
without protest for higher pay
We have got to keep on. The spirit
of labor and capital today is absolute
ly greedy and covetous. There is no
spirit of altruism or service in either.
The preachers still have that spirit" I"

Lady For8etS(7) Child.

On Sunday last when the westbound
Western MARYLAND passenger train was
nearing Westminster, woman having
two small children with her arose and
asked a woman sitting near her toplease
care for her little child for a few min
utes. The child was sleeping and the
lady consented to look after the infant.
Westminster was reached and the woman
failed to put in her appearance after the
the train left the station. The caretaker
became alarmed and notified the con-
ductor. A trip through the train failed
to locate the woman, and the conductor
remembered woman as described leav
ing the train at Westminster. The con-
ductor reported the event at New Wind
sor and was instructed to take the child
to Hagerstown.
We are informed that early Monday
morning the woman went to Hagerstown
and took possession of the baby, stating
that she had forgotten the child.

Investigating Prices.

The Committee on Living Costs,
appointed by Governor Harrington
has been holding daily sessions for
more than two weeks, in. the rooms
Of the State Conservation Commission
in the Munsey Building. 1t consists
of Mr.. w. H. Killian, Chairman;
Judge Oscar Lesser; DR.. George Barn
EFT; Mr.. Sylvan H. Lauchheimer;
Mrs. w. R. Wood and Mr.. John II.
Ferguson. Assisting the Committee
is Miss X. <. Braithwaite, a Special
list from the Maryland Agriculture
College. The Commission has also
the cooperation of the Women's Civic
League, who are especially valuable
in gathering information on retail
prices in the City, and the members
of the Federated Women's Clubs for
the counties, who are doing the same
work for the State. Also aid is being
received from the State Board OF
Health, and other agencies OF the
City and State.
The list of retail prices in the mar
kets and stores, furnished daily to
the newspapers, is familiar to the
public, but the Committee is pursuing
much broader and deeper inquiry.
Its policy is to gather the fundamen-
tai facts that its statements may be
absolutely fair. The statements CIV
ing these facts will be issued as de-
veloped, and the Committee will re-
serve its conclusions until it has all
the evidence in hand. One leading
commodity will be covered at time
until the list is completed. The first
commodity definitely reported is sugar
which is important just at this time
because of the coming movement OF
the Cuban crop, and because of the
fact that many have claimed that
they have been charged excessive
prices. The Committee advises that
eleven cents pound is maximum
fair charge for sugar, which advice
is based upon a statement giving
authoratively the work and opinion
of the United States Sugar Equaliza-
ton Board, a Government agency,
appointed to forestall speculation and
, protect the public.

Specializing In Farms.
Business Has Become Common
In NahpaSka.
In Nebraska.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 23.-Buying
farm lands on a margin is common
among Nebraska capitalists now.
Even the small town wealthy men
have entered into the game, and as
result the land boom that began some
months ago among the Eastern Ne
braka farmers who are desirous OF
extending their holdings has swept
over the entire State, and thousands
of acres are changing hands each
week at constantly advancing prices.
Eastern Nebraska lands, in the
best farming districts OF the State,
are now selling freely at prices very
little below those Ct Illinois and Iowa,
which have been regarded as the best
agricultural districts in the country
in recent years. Many OF the sales
run into the three figures. A section
of wheat and corn land in Wayne
county sold for s237, 900 recently;
other sales have been made as high as
$3.50 and $500 an acre.
The fever has reached the ranch
country, where Is, 900 acres sold for
s4SO,OOO. In Southwestern Nebras-
ka, where even dry farming was a
partial failure up to the last five years,
when the rainfall has been very sat-
factory, lands are selling at four and
five times what they did before the
war. In many cases the wheat crop
this year will practically pay the first
cost of the land.
Spectators are buying on margins
of 81 900, 1000 and $4,000. This
gives them an option of purchase on
the land until next March, the usual
date for shifting of tenants. If they
sell before that time which all OF
them are now able to do, they clean
up from $4,000. to $4,000 on their
purchases. In a number of instances
land has changed hands two or three
times since last April at advances to-
falling $50 an acre. Bankers say that
not all farmers understand that these
are option sales, and that they are
likely to find themselves in an awk-
ward position next March, they have
purchased other lands on the suppos-
ition that their own have been sold.
The hig prices now prevailing for
wheat, corn and hogs are large fac
tors in causing the marking up OF
land values. At $500 an acre, which
is not far from the average Eastern
Nebraska land sales, $lS per acre, net
gives 6 per cent. on the investment,
and with wheat at So, corn at $l.7O
and hogs at % cents, this is not diff
ficult to secure. Another factor lies
in the fact that the Federal land
banks are loaning S10Oan acre ON 33-
year mortgages, which as installments
on the principal are paid yearly, with
interest payments, are called mort
cages that never become due, and
therefore carry no hazard of loss to
the owner through foreclosure pro-
ceedings.
Bankers are showing considerable
nervousness over the situation, as
they insist the values are too high for
proper interest returns, and they pre-
dict disaster to the spsculators the
minute any break occurs.

SHORT RAILWAY ROUTE
TO THE NORTHWEST

Ocala is much interested in the
mater spoken of as follows in the
Tallahassee correspondence Of the
Tampa Times:
"The entire west coast Of Florida is
greatly interested in the passage Of
the Williams bin by the house, re-
quiring the Tallahassee Southeastern
to complete its line to Perry by April
1. 1920 and to Gainesville, jan 1,
1921, as required by the terms Of its
franchise, or to have its franchise re-
voked. Unless railroad influences kill
the bill in the senate, where they are
now concentrating, the measure
means the early completion Of the link
which will open an outlet, via Sea-
board, to the northwest for that por-
tion of the west coast in the Tampa
territory.
'This has long been sought by the
Tampa territory and it is likely that
as soon as the Seaboard builds such
an outlet the Coast Line viii follow
at once. The reasons for this belief
and the amount of work already
dcne tending to that belief have been
set forth in this correspondence. Such
outlets would be Of great benefit to
the entire state of Florida"

After All Its Promises, Legislature
Makes No Improvement
Tampa Times)

Tallahassee, May 28.-The general
tax bill passed the house this morn
ing fixing the size of millage to be
levied for usual formal purposes.
The state tax, of course, does not
all that will be shown final
ly or even all that has already been
passed. The bill as presented was a
copy of last years law as it passed.
The bill follows: State millage, con-
current expenses. 5; schools (consti-
tutionaD, 1; county millage. general
purposes, 5; fine and forfeiture fund,
2; roads, 8; schools, to 10; county
encouragement of agriculture and
livestock, IL. All authorizations for
county purposes are not to exceed the
figures named. The governor is Civ
en- his usual power to reduce the mill
age if the money is not needed.
For county purposes the bill orig
inally called for 3 to mills, but VIII
liams of Leon, pointed out that legis-
lation had been changed to allow a
1O-mill levy, and the bill was made to
correspond.
Jarmon had the agricultural levy
amended to include livestock, then
tried to make it two mills and Bryan,
one, but it remained at one-half mill.
The levy for the county debt was SET
at four mills, but Bryan and Harris
succeeded in having "four" stricken
out and the words "No more than
necessary" inserted.
Counties may levy taxes for a
courthouse or Jail for special tax dis
tricts or for interest and sinking
funds.
