LAST CIVIL WAR MAN,

The last Civil wal veteran in &C
tive service in the United States ar
nv will be removed from the rolls
this week. A. that time Col. John l..
Glenn, the Drummer Boy of Chicka-
mauga," will be placed on the retired
list for age. Col. Glen, who for sew
eral years has been chief quarter.
master Of the central division Of the
army, is the last Civil war veteran
on the regular payroll. He went
through the war with the Twenty-sec-
ond Michigan regiment. -a....
Before Little Johnny Glen, as he
is known to. this day, was 10 years
old he was in the Union ranks. At
the age Of IL he had three bullet
holes put through his cap, his pony
was shot from under him, and he
was wounded several times.
The story of Col. Clem's military
career reads like fiction. He first at
tempted to obtain a place as a drum
mer to Capt. McDougal of the Third
Ohio regiment. His infantile services
were rejected, but when the regi-
ment boarded cars at his home town
OF Newark, O., he climbed aboard and
went with the soldiers to Cincinnati.
There he offered himself to the TWEEN.
ty-second Michigan regiment, but was
again rejected on account of his size
and years.
The motherless boy insisted on &C
companying the soldiers to the front,
and he went with the regiment with
out acceptance until he was beating
the "long roll" at Shiloh in April,
1862. His soldiery spirit SO won the
confidence and admiration OF the Off
GERS that May 1, 1862, he was enlisted
at C%ovington, Ky, as a drummer.
Later he served as a marker. A piece
Of shell smashed the boys drum.
This experience won for him the title

It was at C%hickamauga that Lit

"long roll" Of the drum for the 'brisk

Of battle was being formed the drum

shortened for his use and mounted a

to the present ne has been in active
service. He reached the grade of first
lieutenant in 1874 and became a cap

WORKING DAY AND NIGHT
BUILDING BINDER ENGINES

Ottawa, Kan, July Glowing to
the extremely unusual weather condl-
tons which have saturated the wheat
and oat fields, the operation of bind
ers and headers by horse power is alb.
solutely impossible in some sections
and the addition of a light engine to
run the working part of the binder is
absolutely necessary in order to save
the crops.
A great many farmers have realiz.
ed these conditions and upon applying
to the local implement dealer, have
found that the dealers were unable,
owing to the tremendous demand, to
supply engines for this purpose and
were also handicapped because at.
tachments for this purpose not
available.
The Union Foundry and Machine
t.mpany Of Ottawa, Kan, operating
one of the largest gasoline engine
manufacturing plants in the United
States, foresaw the probable condi.
tons, and as a consequence have for
some time past been working their
tremendous plant day and night max.
ing engines and attachments for bind.
ers and headers. They have a great
many engines in stock and are ship.
ping them in great quantities daily on
telephone and telegraph orders.
These engines r positively doing
the work in every case where they
are attached to binders and headers
with attachments which the company
supplies with each engine.
~ IF tho doo1or finds +ho< ho So ,~ohIo
to secure engines elsewhere the Uni.
on Foundry and Machine company of
Ottawa, Kan, can take care of the
dealer, either by freight or express;
and no unreasonable price will be put
on the outfit because of the crop con.
ditions-as it is the great desire of
the above concern to enable every
farmer to save his crop for himself
and Dakota. II a farmer finds that
his dealer does not know where to
get engines he can give the name of
the above firm to the dealer and the
dealer can secure all the engines he
will need, they being shipped by ex.
press If SO requested.
It is a tremendous mistake to let
things go on at a time when, by a
little foresight, they can be saved
and the wheat and oat crops can pos.
itively be saved if binder and header
are equipped with engines to operate
them.
Don't wait to ask yourself a lot OF
questions-if you have wheat and
oats standing in a wet field-get in
touch with the Union Foundry and
Machine company at Ottawa, Kan,
and save your crOp.-Ady.

CALLING IN THE NElGHBORS.

President Wilson's latest move to
shit the responsibility Of the Next
can problem upon the Latin-American
republics hardly meets with public
approval. The problem is essentially
North American. After the futile at
tempts of the A. B. C. conference at
Niagara, the wonder grows why these
nations were asked to assist in COM
posing the Mexican crisis. Repre-
%sentatives Of the South American re-
publics cannot agree upon a general
policy in Mexico. Their interests in
the war torn republic are not identi-
cal with ours. European powers
have much more at stake than Brazil,
Chile or Argentina.
Why call our South American
neighbors to settle a problem in
which Germany, England, France and
| Spain are more vitality interested?
The move hardly strengthens respect
for our diplomacy in European cir.
cles. Upon the face of it, the plan
seems an admission of weakness.
Secretary, Lansing's trip to Wall
street is another mysterious move,
which only obscures the more Presi-
dent Wilson's Mexican policy. What
group of fnanciers is going to dom
mate the settlement of the Mexican
affair? An answer to this question
might explain some Of the "watciful
waiting" Is Villa or Carranza the
persona grata?
1t is not a usual thing for the state
| department to go to South America
for inspiration. The proposition con-
victs us of %incapacity to cope with
the entire Mexican affair.
Calling in others complexities rath.
er than clarifies the situation.

Bismarck extends a hearty welcome
today to the county t"reasurers of the
state who are guests of honor within
her gates. These men direct the
finances Of the various counties.
Their work is an important one.
1t is to be said to the credit of the
state that it has a very efficient set
of county officials. The treasurers
will exchange ideas and should re-
turn home better equipped for the
duties of their office.
