We want to see the surrounding country prosper
GUS In production and in agricultural development,
Our business life both present and future il .
part and parcel of the agricultural life of the commun-

The past season has again demonstrated that W
must not be a one-crop country. The necessity of diver
si6ed farming and crop rotation has been again clearly
demonstrated.
We are thoroughly convinced that our farmer.
must come to forage crops, silos, mileh cows and steers

and to keep pace with the constantly increasing prioe 81

Alfalfa is q soil builder. It enhances hand value.

MAY. REJECT ONE IN FOUR
Large Number of Drafted Men Can't
Pass Physical Test

WASHINGTON CITY, D. c., July
27. - Reports of the first selection
boards to fill their quotas for the Sc
festive draft will give the first defin'
ite information on probable percen'
tage of reflections for physical rea-
sons or on account of dependents.
All available statistics indicate a
probable rejection of one in every
four for physical disability.
The average for the whole country
is expected to be between 25 and 30
per cent. There is no available data
as to the dependents or industrial ex-
emptions.
Some officials expect the lowest re.
lection and exemption rates will be ir
well-to-do communities, such as sub
urbs of large cities, where men Of
comfortable incomes make theil
homes, and their some have had better
food, care and surroundings than fac
tory hands of nearby towns and should
be in better physical condition.
In factory towns, the rejection ratt
for physical disability probably viii
| be high, as the men are confined 81,
days week at their machines. Vir

registered in these places is the sol'
| support of his wife and children anc

GERMAN AGENTS BEHIND.
THE FLAT RIVER RIOTs1
Roy Creasey Writes Father That PeO'
pie Believe Teutons Caused
Shutting Down of Mines
HANDICAPs THE U. S.
Lead, Used in Making War Material,
Has Been Curtailed Because Of
the Recent Trouble

That the German agents have been
behind the trouble at the Flat River
lead mines is the opinion Of Roy
Creasey, Of this city, son Of Mason
Creasey, who is with Battery IA"
keeping down the riots at that point,
Many others are Of the same opinion.
Mr.. Creasey's letter telling Of con-
ditions at the mines and their effect
on the manufacture of war material
follows:
Mason Creasey, Mexico, Mo.
FLAT RIVER, Mo-, July "a. -
Dear Dad: I just returned from st.
Louis this a. m. Went up Saturday
with some persons, taking them to the
Jail for safe keeping, and then was
ordered back here. I think we shall
leave here by the last of this week, If
everything is quiet, and will come
directly home. However, this is not
official.
1t has been very quiet here since
Friday, except for the arrest Of men
concerned in the mob, and we have
the situation well in hand. The mines
are short Of help now that they are
no foreigners here, and it causes con-
siderable shortage in the production
of lead. Last week the mines ran
halliday shift, and had to close down
their night shift entirely. This must
be stopped at once, as this district pro-
duces 30 per cent of the lead Of the
U. S. and lead is very essential
war material. 1t seems as though
men will have to be imported to put
the mines back on a full basis, and that
will be serious question.
The report of the /. W. WIS being
down here is generally discredited, but
it is the firm belief Of all that the
Germans were and are behind it all.
One thing is certain, the leaders
were all strangers to this community
and have disappeared since our arriv-
al. You can readily see what effect
the stoppage of 80 per cent of lead
production will have on the country.
Some of the men in the mob are
sorry for their actions, not the driv-
ing out of the foreigners, but are
firmly convinced they have heped
the German cause. So much for
that.
l am well and am trying to accus-
tom myself to the mode of living we
are compelled to undergo, owing to
the poor facilities, somewhat sun
burnt, a little hardened, but home
sick for Mexico.
Had piece of lead ore given me
today, about as big as large toma-
to, weighing twenty pounds, which
will assay IS per cent pure lead, and
is worth eleven cents a pound. Will
try and bring it back with me.
Sincerely, Roy.

The Cause Of Constination

Constipation is usually due to a lacl
of water in the excrement. To effect
cure you must take more water into
the system. 1t may be months, how
ever, before this has any appreciable
effect on the bowels, but when per-
sisted in and fruit and vegetables con-
tanning water are eaten freely, the
condition may be overcome. In the
meantime use the mildest laxatives

five YEARS FROM
END OF THE WAR"
"Jack" Lait Prophesies the Condition
of This World After the War
Has Closed
EAST IN PERFECT HARMONY
Col. r. NJ. White Writes That There
is Very Little Objection to the
Government There


SOUTHAMPTON, Long Island, N.
Y, July "a, 1917. - The draft passed
off very quietly and in a dignified
way in this part of the country. The
young men all seemed ready, and ma
ny were anxious to go, large num-
ber having volunteered just as soon
as war was declared We hear very
little criticism of the government, and
all seem to agree.
If criticism cannot be logical, in
structive and single purposed, the war
office rightly resents it as imperti-
nent and mischevious. In times like
the present, to scare a public some-
what ignorant of special subject by
mere meaningless melange of
words is an abuse of the privilege Of
free publication and free speech.
"Jack" Lait, Of New York City,
who seems to claim to be a prophet
regarding the future of this world,
says that "five years from the close
of the war;"
There will not be King, Emperor,
Gar or Kaiser in Europe.
Ireland will be an independent re-
public; so will Poland.
Liquor will be taboo the world over
barred at its source.
Women will have full Suffrage
everywhere.
Socialism will not have displaced
republican government.
There will be an aerial route across
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, with
stations or controls at intervals.
There viii be Telephone connec-
tions with and without wireless
across both oceans.
All principal cities will have dou.
ble-decked streets, the lower starts
for traffic by vehicles exclusively.
Emigration from one country to an.
other will be rare.
Firearms of all kinds will be obso,
lete, forbidden everywhere.
Huge artificial lights will make the
world as bright at night as by day.
Physicians, lawyers, dentists, will
be public officials and will not work
for individual fees.
Love will guide matrimonial Sc.
lection, but government will refuse
to license the unfit, the mismated
the immature, the sentle, the dam.
aged.
New York City will have 10000, ,O0C
in habitants and its own legislature
Chicago will have 100000 and it:
own legislature.
But you notice that even "Jack'
does not attempt to prophesy wher
the war will close.
1t appears to me as though tht
Chamber of Commerce was well or
ganized for constructive work, ant
that Mexico now has an organization
really worthwhile, and that practica
results will follow at once. ThC
membership should be at least TIVE
hundred and grow steadily as the or
ganization proves its worth. That
the way to get ten thousand by 1920
and that's the way to solve the labo
shortage. Watch Mexico grow il
spite of the war.
