She is now in a critical condition
but those in attendance and the
many friends of the family hope
for a speedy recovery.

OF THE SAME OPINION STILL

This journal has not believed from
the start that there was sufficient
Justification or provocation in the
United States mixing up in this Mex
len muddle. That flag incident was
entirely inconsidcrablc. As to "pro-
tecting American citizens" in Mex
leo, the way was open. Many of these
had sinister motives in going to Mex
leo in the first place, and should take
the responsibility of staying there, or
seize the opportunity of leaving. No
thoughtful man would leave the Unit
ed States for Mexico, anyway.
Behold what Il great racket little
fire can kick upl Good may result i'm
the end, but whether the game is
worth the candle remains to be seen.
The quickest way out, though per-
haps not the best, is to cut the wires
between Mexico and Washington and
tell Funston to Ego ahead"

. HARVESTING THE GREATEST
CROP YET.

Wheat is being harvested in the
great fields of the West and North
west. The 1914 crop will weigh up
the lrgest yield ever gathered in this
country. The yield is put at nine hun
dred million bushels, which is 1877 mil
lion bushels more than was made in
1913, which was rccord-brcaker.
The next largest crop was in 1906.
1t measured up 735 million bushels.
The 1914 crop is lGi million bushels
in excess of 1906.
Oats this year promise l,2lG,000.
600 bushels. Last years yield was /,
l2l 100000 bushels. SO it appears,
that this is to be record-breking
year. The only menace now to the
wheat crop is possible rain and lack
of harvest hands. Kansas and Ncb-
raska, Oklahoma and Missouri issued
Il call Il week or so ago for so or 80
thousand extra hands. The influence
of these great harvcsts will he felt
all over the country.
