the trade situation in canned goods

TT. WORTH.

FIT. Worth, Texas, June 1.-THE
heavy movement of Texas wheat 20
market began this week. All ter
minal points will be flooded by
June is unless prices should de-
cline materially and the growers
refuse to sell in consequence. Rail
roads have been dispatching cars TO
loading points for ten days and
ample rolling stock has been pro-
yided To move the harvest. Pre-
pairing these cars has meant much
added work in the shops and the
employment of extra railroad
crews
Employment centers are grad
ually filling their quotas of the
amount of labor demanded by the
farm districts and surplus workers
! have been absorbed to a large ex-
| tent. Statements gathered today
| from executives of the Texas and
Pacific, the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe, the Fort Worth and
! Denver, the Rock Island and the
| Missouri, Kansas and Texas, rail-
roads, indicate that the best crops
since 1919 will be harvested along
the lines of those roads in the fall
unless unfavorable weather condi-
| lions intervene.
The data indicates that corn
cotton. grain, berries, fruit and
vegetables will be better than al
any time for three years and
preparations for the movement OF
freight are being made on this

DR.. McConaughey went on to tell
the class that the old Romans were
living today in other forms and
that the spirit in which they ac-
coded to their demands was the
true measure OF a man or woman.
There is the old Roman OF
work Perhaps you have thought
of the great things that you will do,
now that you have completed your
high school course. But tomorrow,
1t may be, this Roman may come to
you saying wash dishes, work in
factory or clerk in store
There are two ways in which you
can answer this command: You
can say. Very well. have to obey
you, but I shall do no more than l
absolutely have to. The mile fin
ished, l shall flee from you Or
you may say: This is not what l
had hoped or expected to do, but 1t
is here to be done and l shall use
all my ability to do it well. l snail

am fit for better things
! Then there is the Roman sol

this Roman may come to you say

ings' You may answer this one in
either of the ways you answered
the first. The hedges men plant
are for one, or perhaps both OF
two purposes. They are to keeT
things and persons in, TO restrict
them, or they are for decoration
Can we not, IL we are hemmed in

Then there is the Roman who
demands to know whether We arr

POINTS OUT WAY
TO BETTER LIFE
DIR. James McConaughey. President
of Knox College, Talks to Mo-
! line Graduates.
Especial Moline Service,


That labor for humanity is the
only way to the attainment of real
satisfaction in life, was the mes
sage left by DR.. James McConaug-
hey, president of Knox college,
with the graduates OF the Moline
high school last evening
Bridges, he said, are built more
than strong enough to bear the
heaviest load that can ever pass
over them; the banks, he said de-
mand that their patrons keep on
deposit a surplus that they never
touch. Using these illustrations
from the world of engineering and
business. the speaker held up as an
ideal the doing of more than duty
demands, the wholehearted, selfless
service to mankind. Self-seeking,
he declared, leads only to misery
and the contempt of ones fellows.
do you remember" he said, 1.-The
scriptural demand, Whose shall
compel you to go with him a mile
go with him twain? In ancient
times, after the Roman conquest OF
Judea, the meanest Roman in that
province could compel the noblest
Jew to be- his servant-his pack
horse--for the distance of a mile
Can you imagine the fury which
this aroused in the Jews and the
hatred against Christ which this
statement of His aroused? Do you
wonder that they killed him?
Christ, however" the speaker
continued, "exemplified in His OWL
life those things which He preach
ed. If He told His countrymen tt
go a second mile willingly with
their oppressors, He himself sac
rificed just as willingly as He asked
others to do. He did not have II
die He did it willingly for the
world"

THEN WHY NOT ENFORCE?

In a very pleasant speech in his
home town Of Marion, Ohio, last week
President Harding made himself very
plain when he declared that every law
on the statue books ought TO be rig
idly enforced. He will be heartily en-
dorsed in these sentiments, especially
by those who want to see the prohibil
ton amendment properly carried out.
Every branch of the government
army, navy and all-ought 10 be used
II necessary to make the defiant boot,
leggers and rum-runners respect the
law. 1t is disgraceful that such class
of men should be allowed to deliber-
ately and wilfully disregard the law
of the land.

WORTH 4 TRIAL.

The anthracite coal operators and
the striking miners having been ut
teriy unale to agree, it is intimated
that the government may take such
action as vii result in the reopening of
the mines.
We should like to see this done. Be-
tween the greedness of the miners, the
avarice of the operators and the out
raeeous charges of the railroaders, an
thracite coal has been put beyond the
reach of persons of moderate circum-
stances, and the price ought to be
brought down to fair and reasonable
rate. 1t will be interesting to know
if the combined wisdom and power
of President Harding and his advisers
will be able to clear up the mess made
b. the anthracite operators and miners

Friday, when the motion 10 adopt a
