TFRE JEFFERGONEAR

They did not pacify the country They did
not secure any guarantees for peace, or for
the protection of American life and property.
They did not recognize Villa, nor Carranza,
nor Zapata, nor Gutierrez
They didn't do anything but come awav!
BY Withdrawing the troops in the manner
they did, the President and his Secretary con-
TESS that they had no right to send them
there.
What did our gallant yotng men die for,
at Vera Cruz?
What is the term to apply to our attack on
the city, our slaughter of two or three hun
dred NIeXlcans, and our seven months occu-
patton Of that foreign port, by force of
arms?
If such officers as Mayo and Decker are not
held IN better control, our battle ships will be
constant source Of danger to this Republic
There is no telling when Mayo or a
Decker VIII plunge us into a bloody, non
sensical war
The efforts Of our Government to obtain
some sort OF apology from Turkey would be
laughable, If they were not so humiliating.
The utmost extent to which the Turkish
authorities would go, was to say that they
regretted the necessity" which compelled
them to open fire on Captain Decker's launch.
In other words, they regret that Captain
Decker went outside of his rights, and that
they had to shoot.
That puts Decker in Deep dark hole,
doesn't it?
The Turks say that he was about to run
into some mines which would have blown him
sky high.
He's nice fellow to be recl1lessly running
into foreign mines, isn't he?
To save Decker and his ship from being
c!Or ,oI IL
shoot some cannon balls at Captain Decker.
What grieves me is, that Admiral Mayo
and Captain Decker had not exchanged
places.
If Decker had been at Tampco, those pro,
fuse Mexican apologies would have been as
much as he would have demanded. In fact
he would have been glad to have gotten that
much
On the other hand, if Admiral Mayo had
been at Smyrna, he would not only have de-
manded that Turkey and Germany apologize
for has mistake and has trespass, but that they
erect high pole, with the q. S. flag on top
of it, and fire 81 shots as salute to the
sacred banner whose "dignity and honor" had
been insulted
And Of course Turkey and Germany would
have promptly done what Mayo commanded.
If President Wilson, as Communicating
OHloI3 SiloulO It1IeNe AOl1llIdl mayo Oh dCtINS
duty, and send him as teacher to one of the
Pope's American soldier nurseries, this AFRO
giant officer would do less harm than he is apt
to continue to do as a commander in our
Navy.
AS to Captain Decker, he ought to be put
in charge of the Alaskan Railway which we
are going to build for Morgan, Guggenheim,
Rockefeller and other Gold-Syndicate, Coal
land, and Power-site grabbers.

WAGNER S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, July Temperatures were
cool over the northwest and the corn
belt yesterday. Widespread rains have
fallen over the central west These
have relieved much territory in the
drouth sections. Weather is bearish
on corn and the new federal grading
is bullish on July corn. Quality of
contract deliveries is improved. July
corn depends largely on action of
longs. September and December corn
are regarded as bulge sale. Temper
atures in northwest Canada ran up to
90 and 100 yesterday. Newspapers
comment on presence of rains in the
northwest as a help to wheat. There
is little more confidence in rallies at
this level.
The July report of provision stocks
at Chicago is bearish on lard and not
bullish on pork. Oats feel the influence
OF the general large grain crop out
look Locals who predicted So cents
now say another cent will be all in
oats They do not care to sell them on
this decline below 50 cents. Further
hedges by longs are due in December
oats after bulges. We have reports
from the northwest that red rust COM
plants and damage on wheat and oats
are certain. Our correspondent, who
is covering South Dakota thoroughly.
reports that a dry July in the north
west is impossible. There is too much
moisture in the ground and he says
early maturing barley and rye will es-
cape serious damage by rust, but oats
and xrhaat AFRO firing badly These oor
ditions. along with high temperature
in Manitoba yesterday, mean rallies
in wheat.

MEAT CAUSE OF
KIDNEY TROUBLE
Take q glass Of Salts if your Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

IF you must have your meat every day,
eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts
occasionally, says a noted authority who
tells us that meat forms uric acid which
almost paralyzes the kidneys in their eff
forts to expel it from the blood They
become sluggish and weaken, then you
suffer with a dull misery in the kidney
region, sharp pains in the back or sick
headache, dizziness, your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the weather
is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy. full of sediment, the
channels often get sore and irritated,
obliging you TO seek relief two OF three
time during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids, to
cleanse the kidneys and flush off the
hody's urinous waste get four ounces of
Jad Salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for few DAYS
and your kidneys will then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithis, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize the acids in urine,
so it no longer irritates, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effervescent
Whitewater drink.

CLOSING Grain Letter.

Reports of red rust in wheat and
oats have helped these grains. Claims
of black rust in the Dakotas are not
credited. Large advances at Liverpool
and Minneapolis were a factor. Good
mans July l report guess about agrees
with that of Snow. Many of the dry
central west and southern states re-
ceived rains overnight. Forecast per
mits more showers in the northwest.
Oats and wheat have been sold down
TO rallying levels and a period of
'watchful waiting against northwest
rust news is due.
Against the July report and over
the holidays a more temperate selling
attitude is likely in the entire grain
list.
Progress of the corn crop in the

APRICOT CROP PICKED
AND PITTED BY SQUIRRELS

GRAND JUNCTION, Col, Aug. 2S.
When r. r. Merritt. because OF his
love for animals, refused to shoot a
colony OF gray squirrels that made
their home this year under his april
cot trees. he added many dollars to
his bank roll.
The squirrels stripped his trees of
every apricot. but took only the y
The apricot pit Is extremely sweet
and juicy. The squirrels carefully
opened the fruit and extracted the
seed.
The fruit, devoid OF pits. was left on
the ground beneath the trees. The
pits have been stored away by the
animals for winter use. Merritt easily
collected the fruit as pitted by the
squirrels and sold II TO the canning
factory at two cents per pound more
than ordinary unpitted apricots
brought.
In addition he was saved the ex-
pense OF employing pickers to harvest
his crop.
