MANGELW URzELS THRIVE
IN THIS SECTION

Early this week Mr.. VIM. Die
drich brought to the Journal
office some specimens Of Mangel-
wurzels which he had grown in
his garden here in Welsh, which,
considering the extreme dry
growing season, were as large as
those grown in the famous tuber
sections of Wisconsin or the irri-
gated sections of Colorado.
The Mangelwurzel, giant men,
Der of the beet tribe, is a very
good stock food, especially for
dairy COWS as when fed in con-
junction with starchy dry feed
they greatly increase the milk
production. The big milk pro-
ductlOn OF many of the northern
dairy herds is attributable d.
rectly to the generous feeding of
Mangelwurzels. They produce
enormous yields, too, often as
great as twenty or thirty tons
per acre.

New York, July a. - Theodore
Roosevelt, in patriotic address here
today, told of a Systematic attemp.
by Germany to enslave the United
States" which he said had been going
on for years. He related how as far
back as fourteen years ago Germans
had begun to acquire holdings in
South America,
"As individuals" continued the
speaker, "they did not amount to
much, but if you added them together
you could see the handwriting on the
wall. A great many people would not
believe even what the handwriting
said. Today they do, because they
know if the plans of the governing
body in Germany had been allowed
to go on gradually that moose about
the threats of the United States of
America would have been drawn
tauter and tauter. 1t was not a
nightmare. 1t base been proved since
and by facts that you and / have got
to believe even though we do not

To cure or kill.

Born of a God-like hour.
