Uncle Sans Role

We owe 1t to the black blood of
forensic battle spilled by the Sena-
torial opposition that we ha We been
able to get closeup view of the
actual facts in the case, that we now
can have true picture of Americas
position in the war and in the world
as II emerges from the crimson
chaos. Thanks to the great debate
we now know that the European gov
ernments during the past five years
professed answering allegiance to
the unselfish American ideals, but
that their actions did not square with
their words. We know now that
the Old World governments care
little about ideals, but are nightly
concerned in all practical affairs that
may influence their nations trade
and expansion.
1t is good to have our eyes wide
open We are about to enter into
an agreement of a more or less per-
manent nature with them. Since we
learned that all of them think of
Number One and his best interests
exclusively, since we have discovered
that they echoed our fine phrases in
order to please us as one humors
precocious child, we know what to
expect. Our task in the League of
Nations is to fight for the common
interests of all mankind, to do battle
for the righting of the wrongs in the
Treaty, to work early and late for
the establishment of foundation
upon which all the nations of Europe
and Asia may/meet in sincere friend
ship.
No such basis can exist while
ideals like the Shantung affair can
go through unchallenged. It is
strictly up to the United States to
see to it that similar deals are pre-
vented in the future and that the
unavoidable parts of the treaty are
changed in order to restore genuine
peace in Europe and Asia. The time
for compromise, deals and secret
agreements is past. Hereafter the
United States must take it's stand
squarely upon righteousness and JUS
tice, must refuse to yield the thous-
andth part of an inch and withdraw
from the League of Nations unless
it can infuse the spirit of altruism
into the Observation-Disclosures in
December Sunset.
Waste of stale bread may be
avoided by toasting it, by freshen-
ing it-slightly moistening the loaf
and placing for a few minutes in a
hot oven-or by drying it and using
the crumbs in place of flour or
starch in recipes

In Those Good Old Days

They used to make tight pen in circular
form, high enough so turkey could not
get over the top. A tunnel was dug large
enough for a turkey to walk thru, lead
ing under the fence and into the center of
the pen. Corn was scattered across the
trail, to the entrance of the tunnel and
thru the tunnel into the pen. A turkey
coming along picked up each kernel of
corn he saw and kept seeing another and
another, and greedily followed into the
tunnel and out into the pen. Once in the
pen he walked around it looking for more
corn or way to 60 out. He did not
think to go to the mouth of the tunnel in
the center of the pen and retrace his steps.
"A turkey does'not reason carefully but
only walks around seeking what he wants,
and seeking it in the most direct way. If
he remained in the pen one hour or week
he would always promenade around the

We buy our turkeys of your neighbors and
pay them good price. That makes it
easy for you, and easy for the turkeys. It
doesn't matter about us. The people who
raise the turkeys soon come back and
spend the money with the folks who
bought the turkeys or some of their neigh
bors, and that keeps the money travelling
in circle like the turkeys we were telling
you about in the pen. If another dollar
joins the first one, they both roll around in
the circle of commerce and that makes !
business good.
If you want any kind of fowls for
Thanksgiving or holiday events, you fur
nish the corn and we will keep the trail
hot delivering the goods. Our little old
shop is as busy place these days as was

turkeys running around in circles. But we
are not saying, "Quit, quit, quit" we are

Loss Totals Millions.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Sept. 16.- With troops patrolling the main streets and relief trains headed this way from many parts of the state, Corpus Christi today began slowly emerging from the wreckage caused by the Gulf hurricane which struck the city early Sunday, bringing death to an unknown number of persons and doing property damage of mill lions.
 It was impossible this morning to get anything like a correct estimate of the fatalities. In the city proper the death list was placed by some officials at between 15 and 25 but that was regarded by many as far too conservative. In some quarters it was said the number of injured would exceed 200.
 More Than 5000 Homeless.
 One report in circulation today but as yet not confirmed was that 125 bodies, most of them recognized as residents of Corpus Christi had been taken from reef near Portland on Nueces Bay, upon which Corpus Christi is situated.
 More than 5000 persons were made homeless. However, with the coming of relief trains it was expected that by night most of these would be talk en care of.
 Considerable anxiety was expressed
 regarding the fate of the launch
 Waldo, with 5 persons on board, which left Corpus Christi Saturday afternoon on a fishing excursion. Since the storm no word has been received from the party, which in- cludes four women.
 Fears are entertained that a heavy casualty list will be reported from surrounding towns, several of which were directly in the path of the storm.
 Tidal Waves 10 Feet High. The storm sent a tidal wave, 0 feet high, over the business and north beach districts of the city At the height of the tidal wave, ! practically the entire business section was partly submerged. Water was about four feet deep in the lobby of
 the Nueces hotel, and every business house between the bluff and the bay was under water from eight to 10 feet. House boats. fishing craft and Wreckage of every conceivable char
 acter were piled in the streets by the waters.
 Military Rule Invoked. Military rule was invoked yesterday and no one was allowed to enter the wrecked portions of the city. All foodstuffs that had escaped damage by water were sold under direction of city officials. one days rations being l allowed to the customer. The city was in darkness last night and a large portion was without water
 and sewage facilities. Railroads are i reported to have been badly damaged. Death Toll Now 100. The death toll in Sundays storm will reach between 75 and 100 in Corpus Christi and surrounding towns along the coast, according to an esti- mate today by Dr. w. E. Wills, city health physician

 The Allied Printing Trades council, representing printers, stereotypers, lHOlNp6TS, news WIlISGS, uldllGIS, WdS on drivers and others employed by newspapers, announced today that the council had endorsed the police strike and instructed the secretary to call upon all the unions to take an imme- diate vote on the matter of supporting the police.

 The telephone operators began vot- ing at 10 o'clock this morning and the polls will be open until 10 o'clock to- night.
 "A strong appeal is being made on the ground of the individual interests of the policemen who struck. This ap- peal in substance is that the police men, having affiliated with the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, expected all the support necessary to obtain their demands. Now that they find them selves out of jobs, they are asking their affiliated unions whether they are to receive the implied support ex- pected when they took their fateful step.
