BOARDING THRILLS.

E r. waelde has never taken a railroad trip
though for 80 years he has been the railroad agent
at Milton y y
Now. retired pension at the age OF 81, he
starts 7OOO-mile jaunt in a Pullman. He viii
travel over the continent, visiting the arurins
places to which he has been selling tickets since
1855.
To put yourself in his place for moment, just
recall your breathless excitement when you took
your first railroad trir. long ago
Many a man who fguratvely has seen and
done everything" would trade several years of his
life. TO have followed waelde's system and saved
up a few Of life's simple thrills
Youth says, "Hooray! I'm going there. First
trip Don't you wish YOU were me?"
Old age conceited. cynical boasts scornfully,
"Aw. I've been there. Don't expect too much.
You're apt to be disappointed"
Yet old age envies youths excitement and an
uc!pa;lon. When those are gone, youth is gone
and, with it, most Of life that is really worth while
Joy is in the pursuit and conquest. not in the
capture and victory.
Anticipation beats realization.
You young men, taking hard knocks trying your
strength you do not realize It but with all your
hardships and disappo.ntments you are living the
best time Of your lives. The trip is the thing that
counts. not the destination.
The lure OF the sea- also It's charm is in the voy-
age rather than the far-on FORT
Young women. too some day will look back With
misty eyes long for the dreamland OF girhood.
Don't be impatient Everything in life comes
oh. only TOO soon.

AGRICULTURE'S FUTURE
 ASSURED, SAYS BARNES
tsx Asrorintod Pres.

Washington. March 2o-Agrfcui- ture can face the immediate future with every confidence that its chief problems are assured of solution and its future is certain, Julius Fl. Barnes. former director of the United States wheat corporation. said in a speech here tonight
 Declaring that the treaties of the armament conference "constitute the first long step in the direction of worldwide treatment of world wide problems" MT. Barnes asserted that the consequences of a possible rejection of these treaties were ap- palling. He said that a result of re- jection would be that the steady ap- proach to a moro stable fiance and exchange would be destroyed and re- viving commerce thrown back to chaos
 No industry would feel this result so quickly as agriculture, and surely there must be ratification of this effort to provide the method of mak- ing effective commercial and finan- cial remedies" he declared.
 "The American farmer can bs told today that the day of opportunity for agriculture has arrived. Hs can be told that thrift and energy in the agricultural pursuits may now con tinue with confidence on the reward of those Fundamental qualities"

This, MT Stone said, he regarded as to the public good.

t. ]. P. DETERMINED ID PUT BONUS BILL THROUGH THIS WEEK
Will Call Up Measure Thurs day Under Suspension of Rules if Possible Under
 Present Plan
By Associated Press

Washington, March 20.-Balked in their desire to get the measure up today under a suspension of the rules, republican House leaders in charge of the compromise soldiers bonus bill still were determined to put the measure through this week. Their expected intention was to call it up Thursday, under a suspension of the rules, if possible; otherwise under special rule which probably would shut out amendments.
 Before the House met today, the whole situation was laid before President Harding at the White House by a committee of House leaders, but the executive declined to make any recommendation. Upon leaving the Presidents office. Rep resentative Mondell of Wyoming, who headed the committee, issued this written statement:
 MondeD Statement
 '"The legislative situation relating to the bonus bill was fully presented to the President with detailed expla- nation Of the provisioils which re-. move the menace of excessive drafts on the treasury In the immediate fu- ture and avoid any program of added taxation. The President went over the entire situation with an ap- praisal of commitments made. He advised the committee that the legis- lation is responsibility of Congress and In view of expressions previously made. he did not think it essential to offer any recommendation"
 Speaker Gillet also had an en- gagement with the President in the forenoon to discuss the question of a suspension of rules. but the execu- tive's conference with the House committee lasted so tong that the speaker was obliged to forego his ap- pointment In order to be at the capi- tol at noon to preside over the House. Upon reaching the capitol he made known to those in charge of the bo- nus legislation his decision not to en- tertain motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill.
 Refuse to Abandon Plan
 This necessitated further confer ences among the leaders who refused to abandon their plan to call up the Ibill with the rules suspended so as to cut off 8 motion to recommit the bill with the rules suspended so as to cut off motion to recommit the bill as well as all amendments
 The whole question of procedure was discussed at a conference held

Mutt who came to Florida 10 days ago as the repre- sentative of the internal revenue bureau, declared tonight as the result of his investigation of conditions.

A bootlegging ring whose contracts are backed by local bankers and business men. he declared in this rs- port. had conducted large sales, their conveying the contraband from near by foreign shores being minor transaction compared with their pro- gram for putting it ashore and ship ping 1t to northern points.
 At the same time Colonel Mutt to- day gave evidence of his activity in attacking the local situation by per sonally directing his 10 aids in a series of raids over territory of 20 square miles which resulted in the seizure of liauor in 25 places and the arrest of four persons. The prisoners later appeared before United States Commissioner Graham who required bonds of s200 each
 No Trouble to Find Them
 In his return to Commissioner Haynes, Colonel Mutt said his agents had been directed to bootleEgers with the same frankness that a po- lice officer would direct stranger and that they had purchased liquor at various places, even winning it as prizes off punch boards. In some cases, he added, the bootleggers had given bankers as references, and in two instances after negotiations were closed, leading bankers held the purchase in trust and signed con tracts to that effect"
 Referring to smuggle operations. he said 1t was miner matter for many boats operating off the coast to bring in liquor from the Bahamas or to meet sehooners off the Keys and make purchases.

 The valuable feature In connection with the victory of Camp Mcclellan is that as e result of the experience Of the coming summer. 1t will no longed have opposition in its effort to be the permanent training camp of the area. Had infantry trainees been ordersd to Camp Benning, Rep ressntAtive Jeffers holds that inn provements which such training would have necessitAted would have made it practically incumbent on the government, to favor Camp Benning at the beginning of each succeeding season. By virtue of victory of Camp Mcclellan the war department announced today that orders pre- viously Issued, authorizing the sale at auction of many buildings at the camp, had been rescinded and the proposed sale indefinitely postponed
 Representative Jeffers, in an inter- view with The Age Herald corre- spondent today, said that he had no quarrel with Camp Benning, and he recognized that the infantry schooi conducted there was essential to the service and should be continued He admitted that he rejoiced that at Camp Benning s55,000 will be ex- pended this year In sustaining the school.
 But as a training camp" he add ed Camp Benning had no claim. Trainees there would have handi- cr pped the greater work in which Camp Benning is engaged, and Camp Mcclellan Is the center of the Fourth area, and Is admirably equipped for the work of training citizen sol diery"
