Along Pennsylvania avenue, where inarched the armies of Grant and (Sherman in 18 65, what is left of the army of Lee and tho Confederacy paraded to-day. It was the parade of the first Confederate reunion held north of the Potomac, and the first lime the Union veterans ever march ed with the men they fought fifty odd years ago. Somehow I felt that Lee and Jackson looked down in benediction upon the scenes in the streets of the National Capital to day, and that the ghosts of Long street, Forrest, Stuart and Pickett were with their old comrades. And so lt was well that veterans of tho Blue marched with voterans ot the G ray. If reunions are held it is to re vive memories, to strengthen com radeship, to answer roll calls that grow shorter each year. It was a thrilling contrast, in line this morn ing, of now and fifty years ago; en feebled men, some of them on their last march; the bands played the old tunes and the new. How the mu sic stirred ino and those about me! How it quickened the footsteps ol aged men who passed In review! How memories crowded one upon the other and marched us out of th? present into the long ago! Again 1 saw Pickett charge up the rockj sides of Gettysburg; I pictured Stonewall Jackson (called the "righi arm of Lee") as he fell at Chancel lorsville; Lee's farewell address t< lils broken army at Appomattox with its face turned toward the deso late South. One might see Stuar and Forrest as they led their cou ra geous cavalrymen into charges tba no latter-day warriors will ever ex i eel; Longstreet, Gordon, Beo ant .Barlow, Albert Sidney Johnson, Hil and Garnett-they all inarched be fore us as though they were in Hf to-day! No Southern city could have give the survivors of the Confederate ai ,! mies a more touching greeting tba they received to-day. The Flag c the United States fluttered bosld the "Stars and Bars" and told th story of what was and what Is-011 flag, one country, one people; that all. But above all, bringing a lum , into the throat and a queer ting! into tho body, were the airs that tl bands played. "Tho Stars an Stripes Forever," with its plea 1 laggard feet; "Suwanee River," wit . its call to sentimental thoughts; "Oi Illack Joe," bringing memories < "darkies" and ante-bellum day; ' "My Old Kentucky Home," with i dreams of content; "Carry Mo Ba< to Ole Vlrginny," forcing pictures 1 Bull Run, Manassas, Petersburg ai Richmond; "Tho Girl I Left Behind one of the camp-fire songs of tl u GO's; "Maryland, My Maryland with its martial swing; and "Dlxli -"Dixie," under the spell of willi men went bravely to their death ai died with a blessing instead of curse on their lips more than half century ago. Happy to Hear Dixie. t> The "old Confeds" smiled happi from the ranks to-day when "Dlxl was played-because, no matter what point along the avenue it w heard, the throngs on tho sldewal cheered and waved hats and han kerchiefs, and heart beats were fi ter. Yes, Washington gave us a wai reception. No organization rocelv greater applause, none doserv more! Here was the contrast which I have written-the Indlsso hie link of love for country and * cause, whatever that cause be, tl ties together -American hearts, a that reaches out across the years the handshake of understand!! Whon Lincoln was asked how would regard the prodigal South ter tho war, ho said: "I shall tn j them just ns though they had nc heen away." That ls the way 1 government of to day and the Ca tal of our country treated us t morning. So the vision comes agu and somehow I feel that Liner i Grant. Sheridan and Meade lool down approvingly to-day from land of the last roll call, and w them, peering through tho blue f gray of heaven, Leo and Jackson 1 Pickett-and the others who lod on In tho "sixties", joinod in benediction of their former foes.

"The Lone Star Band" that came from Texas to be here had a stuffed rabbit, hung high on a polo, as their mascot, and as they marched along by where President Wilson stood, a Confederate and a Union veteran, ono from Texas, the other from Maine, marched side-by-side, each holding their old battle flags, full of bullet holes, tho "Stars and Stripes" and the "Stars and Bars"; and as they reached tho President's stand at the peace monument they dipped their flags together and proclaimed with a loud voice, saying, "We are weaving tho two flags together, President Wilson! wo are reunited; it ls now one God, one Flag, one Country; to gether let us sweetly live, together let us die." That was the grandest sentiment that I have ever heard ex pressed. I could see that the Presi dent was deeply moved. Then ano ther said, "We will go to France or i anywhere you want to send us." This became a favorite cry. Another was, "Call on us if the boys can't do it." One other thing that attracted the attention of the President was an old veteran who had a white piece of cloth, holding lt as though it was a flag, with this inscription In long red letters: "Damn a man who ain't fer his country, right or wrong." (To be continued.) COSTING ENORMOUS SUMS. Some Figures as to Vuluo of Supplies for Anny ?nd Navy. Washington, July G.-An idea of the enormous cost to maintain American lighting forces is given in a statement issued by the committee on public information to-day showing the relative amounts expended In 1915, when the country was at peace, and to ho expended this year. Subsistence, Tor instance, which in 1915 was supplied at the modest cost of $9,800,000, this year has been pro vided for In the appropriation esti mates at $133,000,000. Clothing and camp garrison equip age, which two years ago were had for $(5,500,000, will cost this year $231,000,000. Ordnance stores and supplies which in 1915 were furnished for only $700,000, this year will cost moro than $1011,000.000. Manufacture of arms which in 1915 cost $ 150,000, this year will cost more than $55,000,000. Ammunition for small arms, which in 1915 was had at $875,000, this year will cost $148,000,000. Transportation, which in 1915 was furnished at *13,000,000, this year will cost $222,000,000. Regular supplies, which in 1915 cost $10,000,000, this year will cost $110,000,000. For aeronautics $4 50,000 was ap propriated In 1915, while $47,000, 000 already has been appropriated for this year. This does not include, of course, the administration's big aircraft program which calls for an initial appropriation of $639,000, 000. Among the items already purchas ed are: Five million blankets, 37, 000,000 yards of bobblnette, 2,000, 000 cots, 45,500,000 yards of cotton cloth, 21,300,000 yards of unbleach ed drilling, 6,000,000 pairs of shoes and 11,191,000 pairs of light woolen socks. WONDERFUL STUFF I LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS. Apply a, Few Drops Then Lift Corns or Calluses Off With Fingers. * No Pain. No humbug! Any corn, whether hard, soft or between the toes, will loosen right up and lift out, without a particle of pain or soreness. This drug is called freestone and is a compound of ether discovered by a Cincinnati man. Ask at any drug store for a small bottle of free/one, which will cost but a trifle, but ls sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus. Put a few drops directly upon any tender, aching corn or callus. In stantly tho soreness disappears and shortly the corn or callus will looson and cnn be lifted off with the fingers. This drug free/one doesn't eat out tho corns or calluses but shrivels them without even irritating the sur rounding skin.. Just think! No pain at all! no soreness or smarting when applying lt or afterwards. If your druggist don't have free/one have him order it for you.-Adv. Brother nnd Sister Executed. London, July 5.-A German court martial sentenced to death Milo Grand prez and her brother, both of Stavelot, Liege Province, Belgium, and caused them to be shot within 24 hours, says a Dispatch from Am sterdam to-day, Tho accused . were tried at Liege on tho charge of es pionage. Some neighbor surely can put up surplus products from your place. If you can't fill your cans let your neighbor have thom one-half for the other. Think about it. Don't have an empty fruit jar In your neighborhood next fall. HELP NATION BY SAVING FOOD. Secretary Houston Urges Conning and Drying Fruits and Voijetubles. "Every housewife this year should restore to her home the often over looked homo industries of canning, preserving, pickling and drying of perishable fruits and vegetables," says David F. Houston, Secretary of Agriculture. "The large number of new back yard gardens which have been plant ed this year shortly will begin to yield their extra harvest of beans, peas, carrots, beets, corn and toma toes. Tho regular supplies also will reach the markets and, as happens each summer, the local supply at times will exceed Immediate con sumptive capacity. Not to conserve much of this surplusage of valuable food would bo sinful waste. "The present food and labor situ ations are such that no household is justified In looking to others to re lease it wholly from individual re sponsibility and constructive action in saving and conserving food. All any home should expect of others ls to supply those foods which cannot be produced effectively by its own members. The railroads will be burdened with the transportation of staple foods and civil and military necessaries from localities of produc tion and manufacture to districts In capable of supplying their own needs. It follows that all locally produced foods, conserved by home methods, lessen the winter pressure on transportation agencies and also release similar products of factories for other purposes. "I urge every household, there fore, to can all surplus perishable products for which they have con tainers and to dry and keep in paper any additional surplus suitable for such preservation. "Canning calls for no special skill and for little equipment beyond a wash holler and jars. Fresh pro ducts, cleanliness and heat are the chief requirements, as even sugar is not essential for canning fruits un der modern procedure. Fruits and vegetables, moreover, can be dried efficiently in the sun, over a range or gas stove, or before an electric fan. Home-made shallow trays of wood or heavy wire screen are the chief equipment required. Drying is a time-tried home industry; conser vation of food by drying is largely a matter of restoring to the home great-grandmother's methods of see ing that her family has good food in winter ns a relief from a monotonous diet of root vegetables. Canning and drying can be practiced as ef fect levly in a city house or apartment as on a farm or in a suburban dwell ing. "Canning, of course, already is a profitable Industry for women and children in thousands of homes and 1 trust will become almost universal this season. To aid the home conser vation movement, the 'Department of Agriculture has Issued a new farm ers* bulletin on home canning and an other on home drying of fruits and vegetables. These free pamphlets should be read and followed In every household which wishes to translate patriotic impulse into concrete ser vice." Boys Not Allowed to Work. (Greenwood Journal.) It ls pathetic to see the number of boys who are anxious to get work. There is scarcely a day that some bright boy is not out seeking a job. But for the fool law that our very wiso and most democratic Legisla ture passed every one of these boys could get profitable work, but they have said by legislative enactment that free men and women, in a coun try that boasts of personal liberty shall not get jobs for their boys If they are under certain ages. But for this law every boy in Greenwood could be making good money for himself and at the same time acquir ing a taste for honorable work which makes him manly and independent. This law is making loafers out of our boys who are standing around sucking cigarettes and getting into all kinds of mischief. This is a great evil, and far moro injurious to the boys than lt would be for them to be at work. Indeed, work is the thing that they most need. There should go up pro tests so long and so loud that some thing would be done immediately to unbind the hands of these boys. We do not believe that the law was en acted tn the Interest of our boys, but some politician was out to do some thing that meant votes for him, and so he worked up and got passed a bill declaring that no boy under fif teen years of age should work in a cotton mill. Instead of passing such a hill, if tho liberty of a free and in dependent people wore to bo restrain ed, in any way it would have been far better to have enacted a law de claring that boys should not Idle See that tho shelves In your pre serving closet sag just a little this year. RUSSIANS TOOK PRISONERS. No Advances In Position of Kussiitn Armies, Says lleiiin. Petrograd, July 4.-In tho fight-1 lng of Sunday and Monday 300 offi cers, IS.OOO men, 29 guns and 33 machine guns, were captured by tho Russians, the war olhce announces. Russians Checked, Gormans Report. Rollin, July 4-Tho Russians made further attacks in tho region or Brze zany, in Easter Galicia, yesterday, but were unable to advance, the war office reports. The announcement regarding the eastern front says: "Army Group of Prince Leopold: In Eastern Galicia yesterday the Rus sians were able merely to repeat their attacks at Brzezany. In spite of the employment of fresh forces they did not make any advances. In tena cious defense and renewed counter thrusts, Saxon regiments maintained their positions against numerous at tacks and inflicted heavy losses on the enemy. "In the Konluchy-Zboroff sector there was heavy artillery fighting. At intervals the artillery was engaged heavily on tho Stokhod and at Brody. On the remainder of the front there were no actions of Importance." Putting a Ban on Idlers. (Anderson Mall.) Samuel Gompers, president of tho American Federation of Labor, turns loose a good idea In his editorial In the American Federatlonist in which he advocates abolishing servitors, valets and flunkies during the war. The labor chlof refuses to ac knowledge any shortage of labor while there are thousands of men do ing what others ought to be doing for themselves. He points out that this servitor class does nothing except perform personal service for healthy men and that in this time of war every per son ought to bo a self-respecting and producing member of the community. Mr. Gompers is right. There is no reason why men should be employed In a piffling kind of which no kind of good conies to tho nation. Men should not be employed In buttoning anybody's shoes when there is great need of men for fight ing, ammunition making and other work of vital importance. This is a good time for every person to get into productive work. Idlers of all kinds can have no place In the scheme of things when a nation is meeting its supreme test. Things to riant in July.
