Sixteen cars have been received from the Josephine quarry in the past several days. Six cars of the lime rock were on the track at the plant in the penitentiary yard yesterday. At least a car a day is now promised, and two cars whenever possible. Within a couple of weeks or so, the orders from the farmers for the ground lime rock will be caught up. The plant was 50 cars behind a couple of months or less ago. 3 When orders are filled, there will be a surplus supply piled up. Sheds will have to be built to store it. This will give a supply for the fall and winter, when farmers will have time to spread it. Much Work Going On The penitentiary Industries are being speeded up all along the line. Kverybody is busy at the penitentiary now.' There are prac tically no idle convicts now, and not one will be idle former long.

HUGE PISES MEDICAL SCIENCE Profession Looked to for Leadership in Regenera tion of the Race WASHINGTON, May 17. (AP) Complimenting the medi cal profession on its contribution to human welfare. President Cool idge declared tonight that the world looked largely to its mem bers to bridg about a physical, mental and spiritual regenera tion, "when not force but reason will bold universal sway." "Somewhere in human nature there is still a structural weak ness," said the president in an ad dress at the annual session of the American. Medical association. "We. do not do as well as we know. We make many constitu tions, we enact many laws, laying out a course of action and provid ing a method of relationship one with another which are theoreti cally above criticism, but they do not come into, full observance and effect." ' "Society Is .'still afflicted with crime, and among the nations there are still wars and rumors of wars. In spite of all our progress and all our success, no one doubts that much remains to be done." Mr. Coolidge looked forward to an era of "right living and right thinking, of good will, and of peace, in accordance with the teachings of the Great Physician" and asserted that "if humanity could be brought to a state of phy sical well-being, many of our so cial problems would disappear." "If we could effectively! rid our systems of poison," hel added, "not only would our bodily vigor be strengthened but our vision would be' clearer, our judgment more accurate, and our moral power increased. ' Mr. Coolidge called attention to the spread of cooperation and tol erance in the profession and gave assurance that the government national, state and municipal re garded the preservation of health and the conservation of life as in part public functions. "The human race is by no means young,". he said. "It has reached a state, of maturity. It is .the inheritor of a very wide THIS LARGE $50, now C of carrying on some busi experience. It has located a great many fixed stars in the firmament of truth. ."No doubt a multitude of oth ers await the revelations of a more extended research. But because we realize that we have not yet located, them, all Js no reason for doubting the record which reveal their position. To engage in such a J course would lead to nothing but disaster. ' K ' ': "One of the difficulties In the world is not that we are lacking in sufficient knowledge, but that we are unwilling to live in accord ance with the knowledge which we have. "Approbation of the ten com mandments is almost universal. The principles which they declare are sanctioned by the common consent of mankind. We do not lack in knowledge of them. We lack in ability to live by them." GOOD RESPONSE GIVEN LEGION CALL FOR HELP (Continued from pse 1.) served" and the flat rate for all tickets is $1.00.
