WAS a BOGUS CALL.
Secretary Smith Repudiates Demo-
cratic Congressional Call-Wtll BE

Z s
Secretary Smith Repudiates Demo
New One Issued.
Sioux City, July 21.-In a letter to
Chairman Van Wagenen OF the demo-
Eleventh district, Secretary George
Smith denied all knowledge of the call
for the congressional convention at
Cherokee Aug. z, issued from Sac City
Wednes sday over his signature. In effect
he declares it a forgery, stating that his
official signature was used without his
knowledge or consent. This disclosure
has caused sensation among Eleventh
district democrats. The undue advan-s
tage taken Of Judge Wagenen's tempor-
ary absence from the district by the is-i
sue of the call In the first place had no
supporters, but the issue Of bogus call
meets with unstinted condemnation.
Sioux City democrats are laying the un-
fortunate affair at the door OF Commit
teeman w. Al. Ward Of Sac county, who
admitted in telephone message to
Chairman Van Wagenen that he had
taken the initiative in issuing the call,
but that Secretary Smiths name had
been regularly attached to 1t. Why
Committeeman Ward should exercise;
such ofticiousness is puzzling; but some
suggest that It was done in the interest
of the congressional aspirations OF Will
liam Mulvaney Of Cherokee, where the
bogus call located the convention. Yes
lterday's discovery will simplify the en-'
itanglement that came from the prema-#
ture call. Chairman Van Wa8enen will
tnow completely ignore the first call and
select Sioux City as the convention city.
The date will also be changed.

Incorrect Apple Grating.
TGlenwood Opinion.l

Mike Miller has been studying the
apple question closely and his ohserva-
#tions have led him to believe that the
grating done in this section is not
strictly correct. He has noticed that al
most every appde tree cut in this local
ity has black heart, and he accounts
for 1t in this wise. Our apple growers
graft their trees near the root. The tree
heart is cut into. The consequence ie
the tree has nothing but sap life, the
heart is weakened, and the tree is short
lived. Mr.. Miller is an Ohio man and
has seen apple trees in that part of the
country live az long as man. In fact
apple trees OF great age are common In
that state. In Ohio the apple grower
CRAFTS into the limb. and they always
have healthy trees. because the tree has
a natural body. Mr.. Miller has spoken
with number of fhorticulturists on this
subject and they seem to think his OBJ
servations and conclusions are correct.
Our friend is to be thanked for his stud
les In this direction and II will no doubt
| lead to better methods In apple culture,
which will rebound to the good Of the
Icommunity. 'l3.s

Washington, July 21-Four thousand
additional marines will be sent to China
at once. The marines will act in con-
junction with the regular troops, and
will add materially to Americas con-
.tribution to the allied army.
The decision to send 80 large force
of marines to China was reached at a
conference between Secretary Long,
Gen. Haywood and Col. F. l.. Deney,
commandant and chief quartermaster
of the marine corps. They were sum
moned to the navy department immedi-
ately after Minister Conger's cipher
message was received.
Secretary Root ascertained that the
army was not in position to materially
increase the force now in China within
the period which would insure the res
cue Of the foreigners at Pekin.
Adj. Gen. Corbin was consulted as to
| the possibilities of immediate reinforce-
| ment of the command in China, but it
| was srecognized at once that the attempt
| at relief must be undertaken with a
| force now in Tien Tsin With the aug
mentation, of course, of the military
icommands of the other powers.
1t was then that Secretary Long CALI
ed the marine corps officers to a confer
ence, with the result as stated. The
