JOPLIN, Va, August 28.—The Quantice marines, 3,500 men strong, ®ot up with the sun this morning and, long before the residents of this little Virginia town had deserted . their beds the Devil Dogs were well em- barked upon the second day of their hike through the historic hills and valleys of the Old Dominion, ¥ The sea soldiers pitched camp near here early yesterday after marching ten miles on the first leg of ‘théir long tramp. It took them less than four hours to cover the distance and not a man fell out of line en route. The field maneuvers this year will occupy forty-one days, including battle exer- cises at numerous points along the line of march. The start was made from Quantico at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, when the marines hopped off with colors flying and bands of more than 200 musicians playing the quickstep. The march was led by Maj. Gen. John A. Lejeune, commandant of the Marine Corps, and Brig. Gen. S. D. Butler, in command of the Quantico force, Who covered the day's march on horse- back, accompanied by their staffs. Column Four Miles Long. When Gen. Butler gave the\word for the murch to begin a column of nearly four miles in length swung into motion, including Infantry, ar- v, trench mortars, machine gun- chemical nd all of the paraphernala of war. According to experts, modern the marine expeditionury force is a splendid miniaturs of a equipped army, suoplied with the most modern weapons and trained in the most un- to military science. For about four miles the marine column marched northwest over the concrete road connecting the marine camp with the Washington-Fred- ericksburg highwav. Then the line of march swung more to the west- w, ravel road to the end or journev. On leaving the o ¢ highw the town of Dum- fries was passed. formerly an im- portant poit, whero ocean-going 8hips dropped anchor. Arrive at Joplin. Several miles beyvond Dumfries the | little town of Joplin was passed, which was once « thriving cara- vansary on the trail from tidewater Virginia to the wilderness to the south and west.

Camp w erected within a few w.inutes after the arrival of the force “nd the afternoon was spent at clean- fug up in preparation for today's march. In the afternoon messengers were sent to Warrenton, Manassas and other Virginia towns with in-} structions to arrange a base game on Thursday, when th, column will halt a day's gnalmen, a searchlight com- | field and Theo.

DES MOINES, Iowa, August 2 Financial legislation does not create a market for the farmer, nor does federal supervision of the board of trade or the packing industries mean‘ orderly marketing. and co-operation us it is practiced in Europe probably is not the pattern for the individualis- tic American farmer to copy, B, I, | Cunningham, “dirt farmer” member of the Federal Reserve Board de- clared today in an address at the lowa state fair. s Mr. Cunningham asserted that freight rates, being out of all propor- tions to the prices of agricultural products, must be reduced “in the very near future.” or the other alter- native, higher prices for farm ])l’od»l i ucts, must certainly come.
