Junior Training School.

That the summer training school
of the Navy at Great Lakes for boys
between the ages of Is and 20 will
open July Is, 1920, is the informa-
ton received by Commander Ell. Ertz,
Navy recruiting officer for the Wis
consin Michigan District, from Ad-
miral Thomas Washington of the
Bureau of Navigation.
One thousand young men from the
Central, Southern and Western states
wifi report at the Great Lakes Sta
ton in the forenoon of July Ia, 1920,
ready for six weeks course of
training, which will include phys
ical development, discipline, educa-
ton of character, and will familiar
ize them with naval traditions.
The quota of this district will be
fifty seven. Young men who desire to
avail themselves of a chance for a
summer vacation spent in a real
Navy camp, must pass the examina-
tions that are prescribed for the
members of the naval reserve force.
They must be of standard physical
development for age.
Parents of applicants will be re-
quired to give their consent in writ
ing to Commander Ertz in order
that their sons may take part in the
ssLand Cruise" at Great Lakes.
Transportation to Great Lakes
must be paid by the accepted appli-
cant, but when he is once enrolled
there, he will be treated in all re-
spects as though he were a member
OF the regular Navy, and subsistence
uniforms and other equipment will
be furnished. At the end of the six
weeks training, the young men will

against profteering. Mr.. Palmer has
hunted lion and elephant with bow and
arrow, instead of using modern nipple
ments to bring down the big game.
The sugar magnates, the coal kings,
the steel masters, the shoe and wool
trust matadores laugh at the little
scratches they have received in the
fray. While these conditions prevail
there are slight chances of any mater
ial drop in the cost of living. The same
authority quoted above says: ''Speak-
ing broadly, commodity prices will not
be lower before the spring of 1921,
even if then" DIR. Babson made the
same prediction for March, 1920. If he
was not false prophet, he was at least
a year off, as were the rest of US.

THE Division of Markets in this at

The Division of Markets in this state
was organized in 1917, and has now a
membership of 500. The association
handles stock and other products of the
farm, including wool. During 1919 it
shipped 261 cars of live stock, repre-
senting more than half million dollars.
One-fourth of one per cent is charged
off for the sinking fund which takes
care of losses, loading of stock and
miscellaneous expenses. The associa-
tion is cooperative, but it will handle
stock also for non-members. In handl-
ing the wool pool the association COM
plains of the present uncertainty. The
big buyers are laying low, prices are
down to point where the growers feel
that to sell would involve loss. And
still the price Of woolens is prohibitive.
How is that?

THE jockeying, sidestepping, manip-
ulating, compromising of political is
sues undertaken by the major political
parties in order to have platform and
a candidate that will win in November,
may be necessary from party politi-
cal point of view, but as preliminaries
to the reconstruction of our political
and economic and social life upon the
lessons gained by the nation in the
upheaval of the great world war, it
looks more like playing the stakes at a
race course than nations representa-
tives coming together to agree on the
wisest and most beneficial policies to
be adopted and followed by the nation,
and to select for the chief executive q
person whose patriotism, gifts and
training would suit the solemn and Sc.
rious problems which he, together with
the national assembly, at this time is
called upon to solve for the best inter
ests of all the people.

''THE factors which will NAL

''THE factors which will make for
lower prices are undoubtedly gaining in
momentum. The factors which make
for higher prices are losing in momen-
tum. But the latter are still in the
ascendant, and no one can say when
the price-lowering factors will become
dominant, is contentious utterance
of representative of one of the larg-
est wholesale firms in the country.
Whether such utterances of the mer-
chants who are in touch with the big
markets can be relied upon as predic-
tons of value, is another question. If
silks are quoted somewhat lower, and
merchants are selling their spring stock
at reduction, it may not mean any
general price cutting in the fall goods
which merchants now are putting in at
prices no easier than before. That
foodstuffs can come down this fall is
not indicated by the amount produced.
There is an absolute shortage of raw
material in most lines, and this added
to the demoralized condition of our
transport service, hindering prompt de-
livery, tends to stiffen the cost to the
consumer. The fact of the matter is
that as far as foodstuffs are concerned
the prices obtained by the producer, the
margin of profit to him is very slight,
considering the cost of production.
Criminal profiteering by concerns which
are mighty enough to ignore public
opinion, and vicious enough to ignore
the suffering of the consumer, has not
been checked by the government de.
partment of justice, nor has the de-
partment of justice been brought tt

FRIDAY. JULY 2, 1920.

ARTICLE x of the Versailles covenant
is, according to President Wilson, the
heart, soul, brains and spinal cord of
the treaty; moreover it is the only ar
ticle for which the president claims
authorship, the one, therefore, not to
be altered, not by the dotting of an i
or the crossing of a t. And here comes
Herbert Hoover, and in stage whis-
per, heard from coast to coast, sug-
gests to Mr.. Harding of the front porch
campaign, that the Republicans go on
record for having the senate ratify the
Versailles treaty, minus article x.
Isn's that the most unkindest cut of
all?

ALMOST A SHADOW-AFRAID
TO EAT

My son-in-law was so bad from
stomach trouble that he was reduced
to almost shadow. He was afraid
to eat anything, as all food caused
bloating of gas which pressed against
his heart, worrying him very much.

Mayr's Wonderful Remedy, and in two
months he looked fine, could eat any
thing, and now works hard every day.

Mayr's Wonderful Remedy is a
simple, harmless preparation that re-
moves the catarrhal mucous from the
intestinal tract and allays the inflam-

including appendicitis. One dose will
convince, or money refunded. Sold by

HOGAN FOIL.ED IN ATTEMPT TO
 OBTAIN FACTS
Resolution Is . Referred to Miscellaneous Com
 mittee.

Alderman William H. Hogan, one of the Democrats in the Common Coun- cil, was foiled again last night in his attempts to find out just where cer- tain expenditures made by the city go and why they should go there. The alderman offered a resolution at last nights council meeting asking that the city auditor present a report at the next meeting giving in detail the uses to which the following sums of money appropriated were put:
 Garbage disposal, John T. King, rent, s75O; city hall, G. F. Herthal, flowers, $155; parks, Alfred H. Terry, services, $24o; Grand street bridge and East Washington avenue bridge, Intertype Printing Co.,, printing, S163.S7; city attorneys office, ex-
 penses, John H. Dillon. $100; James Holt, s6O; Charles A. Hopwood, $68; incidentals, Frank Braithwaite, $30; Morris W. Brown, $50.
 Alderman Hogan's attempt came tG naught, however, when Mayor Wilson without comment referred the resolu- ton to the miscellaneous committee. Hogan immediately remonstrated at this action but was given the sugges- ] ton that he go look up the things for himself if he desired any information i about them The matter finally went to the miscellaneous committee. l Alderman Edward J. McManus 1 apropos of the Nichols street matter presented a resolution referring it to l the citv attorney for investigation 1 leading to reimbursement for the city l if it is closed for the benefit of the | Salts Textile Go.

How To Keep Young
 As You Grow Older

It is possible to have hale, hearty old age. The body in youth possesses more heat than the body of middle age or old age, because the blood contains more oxygen.
 It is possible for middle aged and older men and women to increase the oxygen carrying capacity of their blood-not by pumping oxy- gen into the lungs, but by supplying the blood with the organic iron which attracts oxygen just as the magnet attracts steel.
 Two warning forces-the red blood cells and the white blood cells are always contending in the blood. They are the processes of building up, and tearing down.
 During youth the hot, red blood, vitalized with oxygen, enables the building up process to overcome the tearing down process, and the tendency of the body is all toward growth and development.
 As middle age approaches, the two forces tend to equalize each other, and the body retains it's vigor and vitality.
 But, with the coming of old age, the victory of the tearing down process is manifested by the slow, gradual decay of the vital energies.
 The stress of modern life makes us old at fifty, decrepit at sixty, and useless, helpless wrecks before we pass our seventieth year.
 There is absolutely no necessity for this premature senility, this surrender of strength and vitality, this abandonment of the pleasures and responsibilities of life. The bodily forces and energy can be maintained, the arteria1 degenera- tion prevented, and a hearty, healthy, old age assured.
 REOLO supplies to the cells of the body the organic iron-which is easily assimilated by the blood and attracts oxygen just as the magnet attracts steel. It enriches the blood with cell-salts and vital fzes it with lfe-giving oxygen in- creases the circulation, and by it's power of cell nutrition and recon strlrction-its tonic ard stimulating qualities makes the entire body glow with health.
