PALISADE oEPoRTs EIGHTEEN
AGITAToRS OF THE I. w. w.

The l. W. w trouble makers seem
to be trying to get a foot hold on the
Western Slope of Colorado. These
friends of the kaiser are doing their
best to wreak ruin TO the crops of
this country.
We hope that if they come into
Delta county that they will meet with
the same kind of treatment, or worse.
The following press report of the
affair at Palisade comes from Grand
Junction and shows how they were
dealt with there:
Twenty-three l. w. Ws. and labor
agitators at Palisade were deported on
an eastbound Denver and Rio Grande
freight train last Thursday evening.
shortly before six o'clock by eighteen
members of the Palisade home guards
who were under the command of End
Lieutenant R Brown. After they were
placed on the train they were told
never to return
The affairewas all over so quickly
that many Palisade residents were un-
aware of just what was going on.

Winchester rifles, simply gathered to-

refused to work and were camping
in nearby orchards. destroying trees
and preparing to agitate labor troubles

Washington Bureau,
Pensacola Journal.


Washington, D. c., July 27.-It is
highly probable that Congressman
Pat Harrison of Gulfport, Miss, will
be a candidate for the United States
senate in opposition to Senator James
K. Vardaman in the democratic pri-
mary to be held in August, 1918.
Friends of Mr.. Harrison have been
urging him for the past two years
to get into the race for the senate
against Vardaman. At first Harrison
turned a deaf ear to these urgings
but of late has been carefully can
vassing the situation and weighing
his prospects.
AboEt a month ago Mr. Harrison
went from Washington to Mississippi
and talked with people in all sections
of the state, carefully gathering in
formation as to the strength of
Vardaman. He stayed about ten days
and it was expected he would make
some public announcement upon his
return. He made no statement, how
ever, and has since declined to dis
cuss politics for publication.
1t is known, however, that he is
we'll pleased with the situation inso-
far as his own prospects are con-
cerned, and it Is altogether likely he
will announce his candidacy for the
senate in about three weeks, perhaps
just one year from the date of the
primary in August, 1918
There has been talk for some time
that Governor Theodore G. Bilbo
would run for the senate against
Vardaman. But after looking over
the situation Bilbo has decided not to
run, according to word that has come
to Washington.
The confidence expressed by many
of Harrison's friends that he will
make the race is another assurance
that Bilbo will not be a candidate,
as Harrison would not have consid-
cred the matter seriously unless he
, received assurance Bilbo would not
run.
Defeating Senator Vardaman, one
of the 'wilful men" whom President
Wilson declared represented no ideas
other than their own, is no small
task for any man to undertake.
Vardaman, however, has lost consid-
cradle strength in the past three
years, because of his continued op-

Vardan1an Be Opposed By
Congressman Pat Harrison

position to almost every proposition
advanced by President Wilson and
his administration. He has opposed
the presidents views on the declara-
ton of war, on the arming of mer-
chant ships, the food control bill, and
every other important measure for
the past four years.
This attitude has undoubtedly
caused many men who have stood
staunchly by him in former years to
part company with him now. Never
theless there are still many powerful
and clear minded men in Mississippi
who will work for his reelection
In direct contrast to the position
taken by Vardaman, Mr. Harrison
has stood solidly by President Wilson
and has been one of his chief sup
porters on every measure that has
come before congress.
Vardaman rose to the pinnacle of
his strength in 1911 when he defeated
his opponent for the senate, Leroy
Percy by about $4,000 out of a total
vote of $4,000. Four years before
that he had run against Senator John
Sharp Williams and had lost by a ma
iority of $40 votes.
The close race he made against
Senator Williams and the majority of
$4,000 by which he defeated Percy, by
no means a weak candidate, show
Nardaman's strength ten and six
years ago, and demonstrate beyond
all doubt that Harrison will have an
enormous task on his hands after
ConcedIng that Vardaman has lost
much strength. In his former cam
paigns, however, Vardaman had the
help Of Harrison, and Vardaman
would be greatly handicapped if the
younger nan runs against him.
Vardarnan has been the most prom
!nent figure in Mississippi politics
since he was elected governor in 1908.
He vas elected to the Mississippi leg
islature in 1889. He has always been
a staunch supporter of William Jen-
nings Bryan, and like "The Com
moner' has favored measures of sub
mission to Germany instead of war.
Harrison will be SO years old on
August 29th. He is now serving his
fourth term in the house of repre-
sertatives. He is a member of the
rules committee and the committee
on foreign relations, two of the most
important in the house.

STATION HERE TAKES
SLUMP IN RECRUITS

Again Pensacola slumped in re-
cruiting, not a single rookie being re-
ceived for army, navy or militia. With
the slump of Wednesday there. was a
rally Thursday with a total of five
enlistments. The navy station has
not sent in a recruit sinct last Fri
day, when the draft was made.
Until Sunday, the navy was not al
lowed to receive men whose number
had been drawn, but these restric-
tons have been removed, and those
who wish, regardless of their posi-
ton in the selective draft, may go
into this branch of the service.
The master list has not yet been
received by the local exemption board
but as soon as it is, and the men
notified, voluntary enlistment will be
impossible. Company l is making a
great effort to get full war strength
before being ordered away, and tkG
active recruiting campaign during
this week has netted several new
members of the company.
With the announcement that men
would be accepted for the aviation
section of the signal corps in the
army, several Pensacolians enlisted,
but not nearly enough have been Sc
cured to man the great aerial fleet
which will be sent against Germany.

SPIRITED RACES
HELD BY MEMBERS
OF YACHT CLUB

Two races were held by the Yacht
Club yesterday afternoon, the first, a
sailing vessel contest, at three o'clock
was won by Chas. H. Ketchun, while
the second, a cabin cruiser race, TT
four o'clock, was won by Captain G.
B. Rogers, of Mobile, with "Firefly."
The races yesterday afternoon were
arranged by the club, as a Friday
afternoon outing for the members.
No race was held on July 4, as has
been the custom for a number of
years, and members of the club ar
ranged for two short events for the
sport.
The two sloops in the first contest,
piloted by Chas. Cottrell and Mr..
Ketchum, left the dock promptly at
three o'clock for a run across the bay
to Deer point beacon light. The lat
ter won over Mr.. Cottrell by half a
mile.
In the second race, it was planned
to run the Reeba, Clio II, Captain
Rogers "Firefly.," The former two
could not come out, so the other two
vessels pulled off the event.
captain Rogers is member OF
the local club and the Mobile club also
and came over from Mobile Thursday
to take part in the races. He is very
active in boating circles, and takes
the keenest in motor racing. His
"Firely" is a frequent visitor to Pen
sacola.
The course for the second event
was nine miles, the Mobile craft de-
feating the local contender by 3 IL
minutes. Great interest was shown
in the racing and it is probable that
other similar events will be arranged
in the near future. The club IS also
planning a short cruise, but plar-
will be announced later.
Capt. H. S. Merwin's boat, the Bad
ger, acted as official stake boat
having taken station at given point
before the contestants left this side

Jay, Fla, July 27--The meeting
that is in progress at the Jay Baptist
church is taking on quite bit of in

taxed to its capacity at almost every

EAT LESS AND TAKE
SALTS FOR KIDNEYS
Take aghss Of Salts before breakfast
If your Back hurts or Bladder
bothers you

The American men and women must
guard constantly against Kidney trouble,
because we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filled with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to filter
out, they weaken from overwork, become
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and
the result is kidney trouble, bladder
weakness and a general decline in health.
When your kidneys feel like Jumps Of
lead your back hurts or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night; if you suffer with sick
headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid
stomach, or you have rheumatism when
the weather is bad, get from your phar.
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the acid
OF grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys;
to neutralize the acids in the urine 30 it
no longer is source Of irritation, thus
ending bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in.
jure, makes q delightful effervescept

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beautiful,
glossy, silky hair, do by all means get
rid of dandrutf, for it will starve your
hair and luin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid OF dandruff is to dissolve
it, then you destroy it entirely. To do
this get about four ounces of ordinary
liquid arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough TO moisten the scalp
and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it.
You will find, too, that all itching and
digging of the scalp will stop, and your
hair will look and feel hundred times
better. You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and four
ounces is all you will need, no matter
how much dandruff you have This
simple remedy never fails.
