Strong Defense Of the Action OF the United States

NEVER CLEARER INDICATION OF RIGHT
Indignant Denial That Government Had Any Part in Encourag

our military and naval officers no one
connected with this government had
any previous knowledge OF the reyo-

iTheUnitedState holds that position in

referred to assurances of approval

Mi-o-na acts upon an entirely different principle from any other remedy for dyspepsia. It mingles with the food you eat, helps 1t digest. stre %thens the nerves of the stomach and 9Nas health to the whole digestive system. Instead of the dose being increased from time to time. it Is gradually lessened until natural digestion has been restored and you are entirely well.
 Begin the use of Mi-o-na today with the signed promise of E. G. Fowler that it will cost you nothing unless 1t cures The decision as to who pays for the remedy rests entirely with you and should you wish your money back, your word will not be questioned. Could any thing be more fair than this?

Canada's Plan the Better.

 It Is heard from Quebec that the provision of law granting 100 acres of land to every father of a family with twelve or more children is working so we'll that the land supply Is in danger of exhaustion. This may be an illustration of pushing pet idea too sharply. but there is still room for the contention that it works out better than our custom of giving the public lands to cor porations and cattle barons.

John Craft and John Cowley. the recently elected members of the Board of Revenue and Road Commis- sioners for Mobile County.

From the banner G. al r.. post

Eugene, Or, Feb. 10, I904.-S. f.
Blythe, Hood River, Or.-Dear Com
rade: As the time is going fast toward
the holding of our state encampment,
and am getting ready to raise straw
berries with cream, sugar and a spoon,
we are looking forward to a grand old
time ON that occasion.
| see you have several Iowa boys in
your post. Tell them that the Iowa
soldiers will hold q short reunion some
time during the encampment.
Has our department commander been
up to visit your post since his election?
| think O department commander
should pay more attention to the weak
er posts, for the larger ones can take
care of themselves. There is a great
work yet to do in Grand Army circles.
Not more than 30 per cent of the old
soldiers belong to posts. | believe the
department officers could remedy this
to a great extent. Our post holds the
banner of the state, but it took great
deal OF hard work to get it there. We
have It's members in good standing.
We go out and see them, hunt them
up and bring them in. No old soldier
will go to the commander and say, III
want to join your post?" On the other
hand, comrades should all go to work
and tell the old fellow that we need
him in the post. And he certainly
needs us. Nine times out of ten he will
join you. Now is the time, if ever, we
need them. Let us stand together,
shoulder to shoulder, closer than ever,
and we can accomplish wonders yet.
Have you hall IN which all societies
pertaining to the Grand Army can
meet? Or will there be camp ground2
| ani asking these questions by request
of others; as great many here are in
terested. Another thing; / think we
should all join hands and send or hold
our next encampment at Ashland next
year, if they ask for it. The posts down
there have been paying their per capita
tax right along and have a large num-
ber of old comrades who have never
been at an encampment. Ask the COM
rades to kindly give this matter a
thought. Yours in +. c. and H.,
E. i. CHAPMAN,
Commander Post No. T.
