Judoe Mocrary', Remarks.

A. j. McCrary, presiding at the lee
ture Of DR.. George r. Vending at
iBinghamton, 44arch 6, 1914:
Ladies and gentlemen: l esteem
1T great privilege to have lived my
early manhood life in the middle
west That vast region SO pregnant
with large and great things. 1t en-
braces the heart Of the greatest agri-
cultural country in the world 1t is
drained by the greatest river in the
world. Recently advanced science of
civil engineering has enabled man to
harness that vast water flow and
| there is now at the city of keokuk,
Iowa, the greatest water power in the
world today.
Its greatness is not alone, however,
In these wonderful physical facts. 1t
has produced the greatest statesmen
of the age. Abraham Lincoln, Steven
A. Douglass and Thomas H. Benton
as illustrations.
It has produced the greatest mill
tary geniuses of the age. Ulysses S.
Grant and John A. Logan as illustra-
ticns.
It has produced orators whose fame
has reached around the world. Rob-
iert G. Ingersoll, George r. Vending
and William Jennings Bryan as Illus
trations.
1t is within the memory OF many OF
YOU how Robert G.. Ingersoll. in the
prime Of we'll seasoned manhood
pitched his great oratorical power
against Cod: ridiculed the Bible and
the Christ of prophecy. He was the
great apostle of infidelity The whole
nation was appalled, by his masterful
genius as an orator He was the giant
Of error.
There was, however a David in
that land. A young lawyer named
George r. vending leared to the
platform in answer to the great In
gersoll.
It was my privilege In that far
away time 20 occupy the platform
with this young man in the city OF
Keckuk at one of his first lectures.
EIngersell was answered, and the peo-
ple hitherto cowed before the giant
almost carried Mr. Vending on their
shoulders in their enthusiasm. From
that day to this George r. Vending
has held a position pre-eminent as the
defender of our faith. The faith OF
our fathers. The solace and comfort
of our mothers. The Bible, the
Imperial book, Jesus Christ. the man
of Galilee, the worlds hope.
I take profound pleasure IN present
ing to you the lecturer OF the even
ing, DR.. George r. Vending.

Former keokuk Citizen, Now Resident
Of 6inshamton, N. ", introduces
the Hon. George r.
WendIIng.
HIS REMARKS PRAISED
Said to Have Been the Most Unique
and Perfect Introduction Ever
Accorded the Eminent
Lecturer.

People of Keokuk have very
warm feeling for and recollection Of
Judge Alvin J. McCrary. former
honored resident of the city for many
years and who has daughter still a
resident here, Mrs. Lee A. Hamill.
An event at Binghamton, New York,
Judge McCrary's present home, of a
recent date, will be of special interest
here.
Many people in Keokuk will remem-
Der Hon. George R. Vending, the
gifted lecture platform orator, who
leaped into fame few years ago in
the shameless attacks of Robert G..
1ngersoll, and who early in his lecture
career entertained Keokuk audience.
DIR. Vending recently lectured at
Binghamton, New York, and, as in
Keokuk, Judge McCrary presided at
this Vending meeting. 1t is said
that after the lecture Mr.. Vending
said to the presiding officer:
Judge McCrary, I want to thank
you for what / regard the most
unique and perfect Introduction
ever had, Notwithstanding nave
been introduced hundreds of times. y
Such compliment coming from SO
eminent a source as George r. .Wend-
ling, the finished lawyer and lectur-
err who won his spurs when very
young man in the intellectual arena
with such a giant in cratory as the
Late Robert G. Ingersoll, the peer of
any man on the platform Of his day
such compliment may well be
esteemed by keokuk people as rare
praise for a former resident, whom
she was ever pleased to honor.
And further. keokuk people will be
pleased to read the address of intro
duction which called out such gen
erous praise and also for the timely
reference Judge MoCrary made to
er in the world today"

NEWS OF FARM and RANGE
20 CENTS OFFERED
FOR NEXT YEAR WOOL
HEPPNER WooLGRoWERS GET
OFFERS MANY MONTHS
BEFORE SHEARING.

1t is reported here from seemingly
reliable sources that some sheepmen
in the Heppner country have been ap-
preached by buyers with offers to
contract their next spring wool clips
at basis of 20 cents per pound. The
story comes from Morrow county
woolgrowers who vas here several
days ago and is given credence. The
price offered is higher than the price
paid this year.
The wool market has become
stronger since the eastern oregon
wool was sold last spring and this Is
true despite the fact the prices paid
then were higher than had been paid
before, with two exceptions, in 25
years. There is a feeling the price
will be high next Year because of the
shortage in the world supply. The
fact efforts are already being made
10 contract wool bears out the hope
for strong prices next season.
Some sheep Deals - Numerous
small sheep transactions and some
large deals have been made in the
last few weeks. Boylen & Stephens
have been heavy operators, buying
numerous bands of lambs. 4 few
days ago that firm shipped 5000 head
of the ]. f. Smith lambs to the east
ern market. The Thomas Gibson
| lambs were purchased by Boylen &
stephens. Smythe Bros have pur-
, chased the C. w Matthews lambs and

Herbert Boylen purchased the Knots
lambs and the A. y. Chapman lambs.
Andy Rust sold his lambs to Boylen

ARMAGEDDoN.

Omaha World Herald: The German
empire. it is reported, is ready if neees-
sary to put the last of its reservists un
der arms-making military force total
ing 5000, 900 men! France is making
equally desperate preparation for death
struggle the like of which the world has
never seen. To what extent Russia and
Austria are arming and mobilizing we
do not know, but it is safe to conclude
that each of these great empires is strain
ing itself for slaughter to the limit of
the possible. And from the shores of
England there is under way an army of
200, 900 men. the flower of the British
army, landing on French and Belgian
shores to share in the destruction OF
Europe. 1t is Armageddon. The imag-
ination is staggered. The mind of man
rebels, even now, against realizing the
full extent of the enormous calamity
that portends. No other war has been
pregnant with such direful consequences
consequences that promise to sweep
victor nations and vanquished nations
alike into one red burial blent. If, a
week ago, there was still a chance for
peace, apparently it has vanished. If, a
week ago, there was still hope that the
war might be of short duration, it is
fast vanishing too. 1t begins to look
like holocaust of peoples and of en-
pires, like the suicide of civilization.

THE PANAMA CANAL
The Great Ditch in Use Many Months
Sooner Than Expected-Teaches
A Lesson in Efficiency.

Omaha Bee: The completion of the
Panama canal months ahead of schedul-
ed time is an object lesson in maxi
mum efficiency which all our public
servants may we'll take home to them
selves. 1t shows what can be done when
the business methods of private indus
try are applied to public enterprise.
Former President Taft predicted the
completion of the canal by January l,
1915 II is completed and ready for use
now. Some work remains to be done
before the largest vessels may pass thru
without difficulty, but it is ready for use
by all vessels that now use the Suez. In
cidentally, that may mean more than
the builders of the Panama realized.
Should the European war be long con-
tinued there is no telling about the free
dom of the Suez and should it be closed
much larger traffic would 60 to Panama.
In any event, peace, war or whatnot,
the achievement wrought by the build
ing of our own canal stands forth as a
lasting tribute to their genius and pat
riotism and an everlasting illustration of
what might be accomplished all along
the line of efficient public service, fro m
the lowliest municipal job up to the
highest federal Office with the same in
u ligent direction.

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH DAKOTA. SATURDAY AUGUST
TIME 10 GET our.

Huerta's resignation is the signal
for the United States to get out of Mex
leo. The fact that nobody has saluted
the flag will not stand in the way of a
graceful retirement. The peace confer
ence has accomplished its great mission.
1t has furnished pretext for delay suf-
ficiently protracted to starve out Huerta
and let the constitutionalists hammer
their way to Mexico City.
The terms of surrender are not the
busines of the United States. The A.B.C.
mediators no doubt will think it their
business to save vested interest in and
around Mexico City. They may be ex-
pected to do some lively fussing around
after the fashion of the great powers,
which seek to divide the spoils after q
people has revolted against oppression
and won victory.
The United States has no further bus
iness at Vera Cruz, if indeed it ever had
any. No condition of war exists. Car
rama and Villa are quite competent to
preserve the kind of order they wish to
preserve and the end of the Mexican
situation, 80 far as it affects the United
States, is, or should be in sight.-Minn-
eapolis Daily News.
