Never before have foundations, cor

and the rural population of America
participated so generally and so gener-

Through all the coming years the gifts
and sacrifices of many millions, from
the richest to the poorest and from
the youngest to the oldest, in every
corner of our country and from neigh
boring as well as distant lands, will be
held in grateful memory. Many a

will they be summoned to associates

Possible GranarY-

The harvesting of the corn crops In
Venezuela commences in September
or October In most sections of the
country only one crop is raised an
nually, though with irrigation there
could easily be two. Most of the corn
raised in Venezuela is white, and the
market for this is not so good in the
West Indies az for the yellow varieties.
In case of any deficit in the corn crop
in the United States, Venezuela might
well be considered as an available
source of supply.

turn everything into jest. Joke is the

bureaucrats who caused Germany's des-
truction,' an dthc wrath of these peo-
pies is waking visibly daily. according
to special cable dispatch to the New
York Times, dated Berlin, August 90.
The reactionaries. knowing this. and
realizing also that. besides. the blind
fury of the ever-growing multitude of
unemployed must be met and if possible
diverted. have decided that a general
pogrom might unload the storm upon
the Jews. save their own skins and
during the general upheaval perhaps
give them Il chance of seizing again
the reins of government.
These plans are no secret. but are
openly talked about everywhere. 1t

ahead for Berliners and among all the
people the question is: When is it
going to break?"
