To~All Whom It May Concern in Mex

The people of the United States have
a great big country containing lG0,-
100000 people. We are lovers Of law
and order. We want no more terri
tory. We want peace. We want every
man to attend to his own business. We
are opposed to murder and rapinc. We
do not intend that Mexican bandits;
shall overrun our country. We do not
intend that tho Americans who are
engaged in business in Mexico shall
either be murdered or held for ran
SONS. Tho poor, ignorant people If
Mexico shall be protected, not robbed.
We realize that America cannot have
peace alongside country that is al
ways at war. Our countries join. Mex
leo is larger than the United States
in point of territory. Practically all
the business enterprises in Mexico, in
Guiding the railroads, have been built
or created by Americans or American
money. All the mines have been de-
veloped by Americans. Practically all
the efforts Tor education have been by
Americans. The laws of the civilized
world cntitlo Americans in Mexico 70

in Mexico. except Americans, are pro.
tected. We are Disseminated against
because of jealousy and fear, for Meth.

do not intend to submit to any fur.
thcr outrages at the hands Of Mexican
presidents or, Mexican bandits. We
intend to send an army of 100000 men
to the border, to start across Mexico
with every military equipment that can
be useful. We intende to build branch
lines of railroads. We intend to car

meet war with war. We are going to
do this not for the present day Amer.

but for the future Americans and the
future MeXlcans. Our American re-
public is going to exist. Our patriot.

when aroused, it is fierce and furious.
At the present time patriotism is
aroused. We will continue our march
until we land in the city of Mexico
We intend to control everybody and
everything for time. But we intend
to do it in the spirit of the twentieth
century. We intend to open schools
as we have done in the Philippine isl

every poor family has a homestead
on the public domain, and every neigh

SHEDS CROCODILE TEARS.

1t is said that G. L. Caswcll, chair.
man of the democratic county central
committee, when he found out at the
convention held on Saturday, that he
was not to be called upon to defend
himself against charges OF the rank
and file of the party for monopolizing
all of the offices within the gift of the
party, concluded it would be a fine Op
portunity to d1icrcdit Charles e.
Hughes, the republican candidate for
president. He gave his democratic
brethren to understand that he had
had revelation since the nomination
of Hughes to the effect that Mr.. Hughes
had promised to land Theodore Roose-
welt in high cabinet position and that
Roosevelt would carry his military
ideas to tho extent of trying to raise
an army to make war on Germany.
This, OF course, was a gratuitous sug-
gcstion on the part of Mr.. CaSwcll and
his hearers knew enough to know that
they had as much inside light on the
subject as the speaker. The purpose
of the remark was to induce the Ger
man members of the party to forget
the fact that Wilson is president and
is standing as a candidate for rcclec'
ton.
1t will take something moro than the
sophistry of the democratic boss OF
Crawford county to convince the Ger
man voters that Wilson is a friend OF
Germany and that Mr.. Hughes will be
the tail of any mans kite. Mr.. Hughes
is an intellectual giant in his own
right and has the independence
to act On his own convictions re-
CARELESS of who may support or who
may oppose him. This kind of talk
oven behind closed doors to few dem.
ocratic delegates, will react against the
one intending to ~nislcad his hearers.
Woodrow Wilson has made his record
and he must stand or fall by it and it
is not record that Mr.. Caswell can
make appear attractive to the Ger
man voters of the country.
Mr.. Caswell actually shed crocodile
tears to express his grief that the re.
court of the United States to find can.
didate for president. This is another
exhibition Of gall to create prejudice
against Mr.. Hughes candidacy. The
republican party decided to nominate
the best man in the country for presi'
dent. and found him on the supreme
bench and called him, and Mr.. Hughes
said it was the call of duty and &C.
cepted and from now on until Novem.
Der he will be able to present his own
causel and the arguments in favor of
his election. He will have no apollo
gies to make for doing his duty
which has governed his life in the past
as it will in the future.

Can bv CoId-Pack Method.

Canning fruit and vegetables by the
Fcold-pack method, advocated by the
u. S. department OF agriculture and
the extension division of Iowa State
college, is so simple, economical and
safe that wherever 1t has been taught
in Iowa to the boys and girls canning
clubs it has become quite popular"
says Prof. e. c. Bishop, state leader of
the junior work in Iowa. , -v. E.
There arc two steps in the method.
The first is the cold pack. The vege-
tables or fruits are cleaned and pre-
pared as desired and then packed raw
in glass jars or cans. With vegetables,
hot water is added; with fruit, sugar
syrup. The covers are then put on the
jars, but not completely sealed. An
allowance is made for expansion from
the inside.
The second step is the. hot water
bath. Tho filled jars are placed in hot
water in any vessel large enough for
the water to cover the tops of the jars
for an inch or two. There should be
a false bottom of some kind to hold
the jars off the bottom so that the
water will circulate beneath. Time
tables will tell how many minutes diff
fcrent products should remain in the
boiling water. - y -
= At tho close of the period the jars
are removed, the tops sealed down and
the jars set away to cool.
Persons desiring more Information
or to organize a canning club for re-
ceiving instruction in this method
should write to the agricultural extern.

The materials to be used for salad

dressing is the general favorite for

PLANT CATALPA TREES
Bv BETTY PAkE,

An acre OF ground will produce
three to four thousand fence posts
and such posts are now worth about
twenty-five cents each. Fifteen years
later they will probably bring twice
as much, as timber is becoming scare
er every year.
Catalpa trees grow into telephone
poles and fence posts in about fifteen
years.
One-year-old trees are the best to
plant. Be sure they are all healthy
and come not too far from home You
will have to pay about twelve dollars
per 1000 for good trees.
p The ground should be plowed and
put in good condition, as for corn.
The rows ought to be about eight feet
apart and perfectly straight. Use a
corn marker to get them Just right.
After they get GOOD start cut them
back nearly to the ground. Don't be

TO GROW DALLAS

Plant them, if there is no danger
Of frost, outdoors about three feet
apart each way, not in too rich
ground; then when they commence to
grow get a good stick, broom-handle
Is good, and tie them up with either
cotton cloth or raffia.
1t is best to raise them with single
stem; take half the branches off, so
the air and light will circulate we'll
around the plants, as they take time
to make large plants.
Place some sticks over them and
attack piece of canvas sheet or
blanket to protect them from the first
frost. The plants thus protected last
four weeks longer, and it pays for the
labor, because you get the finest flow
ers and lots Of them. The tuber gets
ripe better, too. ..,.
When the dahlias are killed by frost,
cut out the tops; do not dip them too
early; wait until the hard frost comes.
They can stand until November IS.
They also get more nourishment from
the ground. When you dig them be
careful not to bruise them. Let them
stay in the sun to dry, then put them
in their winter quarters; cellar that
is frost-proof is a good place. Cover
them with sand, but if your cellar has
concrete floors or is too cold, they
will get mildew and die. Put some
boards on the bottom.
One should sow some dahlia seed;
they grow much stronger than either
tubers or cuttings, and one is we'll
repaid. The seeds sown in early spring
will flower from the middle of July
until frost; those that do not suit can
be thrown away, and the best ones
can be kept over for another season.
If the season is dry one some of
the plants in the garden will have to
be watered If you want flowers from
them. This is especially true of the
dahlia.
Use enough water to penetrate all
the soil in which their roots grow, and
see that it is kept moist.
Watering today and neglecting for
a week to come isn't the proper thing.
Save the suds from wash-day for this
purpose. The soap in the water will
benefit the plants.
Be sure to supply substantial sup.
port for your dahlias If this is not
done you will be likely to find them
broken some morning after a sudden
wind or a hard rain-storm.
The stakes should be at least four
feet tall-allow an extra foot and a
half for insertion in the ground-and
they should be at least an inch through
and of good sound wood.
Paint them a dull green and they
will not be unpleasantly obtrusive.
Tie the stalks to them with broad
strips of cloth instead Of strings. The
latter will cut into the tender branches
when they are whipped by the wind.

EARLY WORK IN BULB GARDEN
BY JULIE ADAMS POWELL.


With the first warm days the bulb
Gus plants spring up. and many be-
ginner has tried in vain to push them
back until warm weather.
AS rule it is best to let nature be
dictator. Hardy bulbs will endure lots
of cold; and IL they do sometimes get
helplessly nipped Of flower buds by
undue haste, there is more frequently
damage done to the roots by trying
to curb the growth.
Do not be in hurry to remove the
leaves which should have been their
winter coverlet. Loosen them up grad.
ually, taking care that the plants are
not smothering. If the weather con-
tinues fine, work the loose leaves a
little more into the soil every day,
thus gradually making the change.
There is less drain upon the bulbs
if the blossoms are picked as soon as
they commence to wither.
Look to it that the bitches and
drains are in good order.
Some cut the tops from hyacinths as
soon as the leaves turn yellow, remove
them, and plant ANIMALS. This is
very neat way of getting rid of the
bulbs-and most effectually, as rule.
But if you wish hyacinths another
year, there is better way, unless you
can afford to purchase new bulbs.
Those discolored leaves are neces-
sity to the plant while ripening the
bulbs, and if they cannot be tolerated
a permissible compromise is to trans
plant the bulbs to some out-of-the-way
corner of the yard, where they can
ripen in peace. They may then be
dried and packed away for autumn
planting,
1t Is better to replant the hardy
bulbs at least once in two or three
years, else they become too thickly
matted. Besides the soil needs re-
newal of fertilizer; and this can never
be so we'll done as when the bed is
empty.
There is often complaint that the
old-fashioned white narcissus poeti
Gus blasts in the bud. This is usually
remedied by resetting the bulbs which
have become matted together.
If you have a number of varieties
of tulips and more time and patience
than money to buy new varieties,
there is often much pleasure in grow
ing tulips from seed. Some Of the
soft shades of old-rose have been
in our own garden evolved from the
Decentralization of standard forms.
There is a pleasure, too, in watching
the unfolding of the unknown. New
varieties purchased of seedsmen are
always announced and their beauties
described; but these seedlings are
positively new, and some of them are
strikingly beautiful.
If in planting your tulips, carmine
and scarlet are in painful contrast
mark the one for removal at the prop
err season. Some flowers show only
harmony in varietal colors, but the
tulip cannot be classed among these.
