VIII. POLLOCK HILLWRIGHT
FOR SEVENTY.TWO YEARS

William Pollock of this city, who
will be eighty-six years old in Sep
TENDER, with the exception of a st.
Louis man who has been in the bust
ness two months longer, is the Oldest
living millwright in the United Sta
ties. Mr.. Pollock will have been in
the business seventy-two years the
last of August.
During his years in this business
he has built fully twenty grain ele-
vators, erected many mills and has
done much toward the placing of the
milling business on a firm basis in
Missouri. For n of his years he is
usually well preserved and active.
He attends the Commercial Club
weekly luncheons regularly, takes an
active part in every public move
ment and is generally interested in
every plan to improve the city.
A number of years ago he invent
ed a Iap-track wide tired wagon to
improve roads. This invention was
the result of a scientific study of
highways and highway building and
he gave the right to any person to
make these wagons without asking a
royalty because he wanted Audrain
roads to be the best in Missouri.
Mr.. Pollock is a class of citizen
every town is proud of and regardless
of the many years he has labored for
Mexico he does not feel he should re-
tire and let somSne else take his
place. He believes in giving his CO.
operation and is keeping pace with
the younger citizens in all their work
for a greater Mexico,

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, ~irritability and unless corrected,
| leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
| rich nutriment gets into the blood and
| rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from ~alcC-lol.

SENATE OBJECTS !
TO REDUCTIONS
CHAMBERLAIN IS AROUSED

Washington, July 25.-The senate
called a halt ON wholesale reduction
begun Saturday in the army appro.
priation bill, voting down retrench.
ment proposals and approving in.
creases totaling more than 100000, 900
when sections were reached carrying
provision for ordnance and equipment
for the regular army and national
guard
Debate on the ordnance sections de-
veloped a predominating sentiment
that it would be unwise to limit ex-
penditures for ammunition and guns
too closely despite the lessening Of
tension in the Mexican situation.
Decreases of $36 100000 ordered Sat
urday related to transportation, sub
sistence, foreign service pay and emer-
gency estimate put into the bill by
the house when the Mexican situation
was critical.
The increases included:
For medical supplies, increase from
$4,000 900 to $4,5o0,000; engineers
equipment, $1,000,O00 to $1,770,000;
ordnance stores, $6,000,000 to SILL
100000; automatic machine guns for
regular army, $3,600,000 to $7,725,00O;
automatic machine guns, for national
guard, $2,000,000 to $6,5S6,150; armor-
ed motor cars, 100000 to $1,000000;
field artillery for national guard, $S,-
100000 to $14,2o0,000.
Several important items remain for
consideration, including the $13,2Sl,-
G66 proposed for aviation, an increase
of $1OO0O,OOO over the house appro-
priaticn.
In the debate Chairman Chamber
lain of the military committee, aroused
by anti-preparedness arguments by
Senator Norris, vehemently arraigned
senators who, he declared, constantly
/ intimated that advocates Of prepared
ness were in conspiracy with muni-
tions makers and others who profit by
war. >-
He defended the patriotism and hon
esty of the champions of preparedness
in conpross -
Senator Townsend assailed the ad-
ministration Mexican policy, asserting
that the national guard had been call
ed to the border under "false pre-
lenses" and that diplomatic CORE
spondence had disclosed that there
never was any intention of sending
state troops into Mexico.
