The transportation of this vast wheat
crop to eastern markets is a gigantic task,
and the western railways have had thous-
ands of new cars made in preparation.
In addition to the yield of wheat, 3,OOO,-
100000 bushels of corn and 1,500,OO0,OOO
bushels of oats will be harvested this year
in the United States, in spite of weather
conditions, which were thought unfavor-
able.

GREAT PERIL FROM DRUGS

According to bulletin just issued by
Martin I. Wilbert of the public health SER
vice at Washington, more than one-half
the drug fends in the United States be-
come addicted to the habit through ply
sicians prescribing opium, morphine, CO.
caine, or heroin while in attendance in
professional capacity.
Mr.. Wilbert especially calls attention to
the great danger of taking narcotics on the
prescription of a physician. The drug
habit can be formed, he states, in only
few days anywhere from ten to thirty
and the constant taking of any of these
powerful drugs, in even small doses, will
render one slave to them within very
short time.

MEXICAN SITUATION CRITICAL.
American Battleships Dispatched to
Vera Cruz


That the Mexican situation is acute can
not be denied
President Wilson recently asked the
South and Central American republics to
cooperate with the United States in restor-
ing order in Mexico AS result, the re-
presentatives of Brazil, Argentine, Chile,
Bolivia, Uruguay, and Guatemala have
situation
The presidents desire, it seems, is for
these six governments to join with the
United States in an appeal to the factions
Of Mexico to settle their differences and
set up an orderly central government.
That great difficulty will be encountered
is anticipated. Carranza has following
of something like 100000 men, and is
stronger by far than any other factional
leader That he will resent any interfer-
ence with his plans by the United States
or the Latin republics, is foregone con-
clusion. This is evidenced by his expul-
sion of the Brazilian and Guatemalan min
listers from Vera Cruz some days ago.
The situation has reached such critical
stage in Vera Cruz that the United States
battleships New Hampshire and Louisiana
were dispatched on July 10, to proceed to
that city and protect American citizens.
It is explained, however, by Secretary
Lansing, that every effort will be made to
secure peaceable settlement, and force
will be resorted to only as last
extremity.

AMERICAS ENORMOUS WHEAT
CROP
Greatest in Country's History

1t is said that all the various nations at
war at the present time are spending the
combined sum Of $42,25O,OOO regularly
each day in the work of death and destruc-
tion
We turn from this staggering figure and
compare with it the vast wheat crop Of the
United States, which will be largely used
IN feeding the people of other countries
Owing to Russia's wheat fields being
closed to the markets Of the world by the
blocking of the Dardanelles, the eyes of
the world are turned more than ever to
America for it's supply of breadstuffs.
While men of finance have shrunk in
tlmidity from investments during the
past twelve months, the American farmer
has seeded his fields and is now harvesting
the greatest wheat crop in the history of
the country. Reno county, Kansas, alone,
it is estimated, will produce 100000
bushels.
1t is confidently expected that the bill
lion bushel mark for the United States
will be passed by fall. One hundred and
fifty thousand men have been transported
into the wheat regions to assist in gather
ing the crop.
Procuring sufficient number of men
has been problem, and the Department
OF Labor has rendered great assistance by
placing placards in post offices and sending
out bulletins.
Thousands of college boys are spending
their vacations in the western wheat fields,
and are experiencing literal demonstra-
tion OF what it means to earn bread by the
sweat of the brow. No better way could
