KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY QTAI.1TY Hiwr - 6EA FREEDOM Tha Fourth of July will be cele brated this year around the world. It will- be celebrated by foreign repub lics and by democratic monarchies. It will be celebrated, strangely enough, by kings and queens. Includ ing the sovereigns of the empire from which oar Independence Day declara tion sera red us. ' It will be celebrated with vigor and fitness by the million American oldlers who are fighting In Europe to Tindlcate the principles of our rest declaration. It will be cele brated here at home. In every Amer ican dty and town, with new under. standing and appreciation, by natives and the children of natives, and no lees by aliens and aliens' children. All these memorial activities are admirable. There Is another, how- rer, that probably makes a stronger appeal to the Imagination than any of them. It Is the celebration taking place In American shipyards. There are over 90 ships being launched oa'itbis Fourth, far more shipe than ' ever before, in all the world, hit the water at one time They1 aggregate about half a million tons, a greater tonnage than we used . to lasnch in the course of a whole year. They will provide the means fey which, .we can maintain more than ' lSO.tM troops In France. And that is bat one day. It is ex ceptional, to be snre. 8ome of these : ; ships have been held back a little tor the occasion, others have been rushed. Bat the launching will not 'i step wfcen the last of those new mer- ' ohantmen has slid down the ways. The glorious splash will be repeated the next day, and the next, in ever growing -volume, until every day in the year is reminiscent of this big slebration. i It Is particularly fitting because of wtjert the ships mean. It was German attacks on our ships, German vlola- Sioa ct 04 acred sea ' laws, that flrov s v wsr. We entered the straaas licet of all to vindicate the fcssvJsBt the seas and make good war right to sail them at oar own ateamro, -without the permission and , esp(ta tins prohibition of any upstart t autocrat. These ships are re-estab-. fashing that freedom the oldest freedom there Is, and the most vital , to nicJana " . . Hoisi Ins kalaer, with his own mer kant sleet half lost and the rest rasnlnf U ssie barbers, envies those tH lawacAingif. Aad how- he longs ftr Us aea-masUry they represent!. THE Jl'NKKK DOSS Oermany. which I fond of refer ring disdainfully to the "potiiicul boft" of this benlKhtt'd country, happens to have a boas of h"r on. In the peraun of Herr von llryde brand, a Junker leader often refer red to as tbe "uncrowned ktug of Prussia." We net a fine glimpse of his polltli-n) philosophy In this, ut terance, delivered at a, convennou in Silesia: "What niade Priiwa what U is to day? The old authority front above. not a mania for general equality. Wc will have no social democratic I'to plan state. We have as much free dom as we need. Democracy is wsr. "We conservatives will adapt our selves to new times; we may even let ourselves be pressed bsrk a little, but we will not suffer ourselves to be suppressed by an equal electoral law." Wllhelm himself, who has Just broken his promise to give Prussian manhood suffrage, rould hardly have done It better. Down with democ racy! The world must be made safe for autocracy. He gets away with It, too. From all appearances, the Prussian masses still stand for this torf otjndolence. SOLDIER LETTERS Wallace CouUnl Writes Three On Active Service With A.K.F. May 28. 1918.

Queer Post Office Nsmes. Strange names have often been given to post offices In the United States. The latest list shows s place called Ace, in Missouri; an Affinity In West Virginia, a Barefoot in Georgia, a Blgfoot In Texas, a Blowout In Mr.lio, s Braggadocio In Missouri, a CliurUle In North Carolina, a Difficulty In Wyo ming, and a Mud In Texas. Tbe post office doesn't care, of course, so long as the name Is written legibly and tli county and state are given. ' Time the Only Cure.

He Is In an areo squadron and stationed about thirty kilometers from here. He comes up here now and then. Claude Smith Is near here some where, but I don't know where. It is the hardest thing In the world to get definite positions of companies. Whenever you ask where a certain company Is, they don't know, but think It Is at a certain place. A man would run his degs off if he started to hunt up a fellow, if he followed directions. The only way to flnd a fellow is to Just run across him ac- cidently.

Dear Folks: Your letter of May 7th came the 31st, so the time has been shortened by th elimination of packages in the malls. We have about everything necessary for our comfort. The Y. M.C.A. and tbe Salvation Army pro vide the things like candy, nuts and fruit. I am not in position to state what the Red Cross Is doing ov3r here. The only benefits I have bad are two pairs of socks, wristlets and helmet. The Y.M.C.A. keeps on hand more of the necessities of soldiers and the Salvation Army tbe luxuries. Both are doing wonderful work. Of course tbe secretary makes tbe hut, and you will find different personali ties and conditions. We have been fortunate wherever we have been In getting an accommodating and happy secretary. Thiers are come real grcru- Don't Slow Up Advertising Now!

Never has there been a time more auspicious for the enterprising tradesman to secure' 111S FULL SHAKE OF TRADE than now. People must continue to eat, to wear and to use.
