Farm Bureau Notes

Rain and mud, oodles of it, but
not enough to beat the band"
that is the Roanoke Military
Band for they sailed in in Lizzies
about noon after. a long stormy
cruise. Scrapers we're put to
work digging off their mud, and
soon their horns were really for
blowing as well as the bass drum
and oh. joy, the Spanish Fan.
dango," and the Rodnd.Uc was
on and kept on until a late hour
Saturday night.
Corn and folks, were here by
train, by Lizzie" " by buggy,
wagon, and water.
Several speakers who had
agreed to hel) US out failed to
show up, and some sent no rea-
sons for not coming. However,
with some local talent, some help
from the University and some
from Kansas City, with Hon. A.
F. Lever of Washington, D. C.
outweighing all the balance of US
combined, we had a rattling
fine program. Mr.. Lever is
light so far as his body is con-
cerned, but in ability, he is one
of the really big men of the ma
ton. He liked US country folks
so well, and felt so much at
home and at ease among US that
he just stayed until the last
dog was dead" He said he had
the time of his life, and it is
just one more illustration that
the man who has lived his young
er days in the country is never
so genuinely at ease anywhere
else. Mr.. Lever helped US out
with four fine inspiring talks,
and everybody was as delighted
with him as he was to be among
US.
The band must be given great
praise to make such a trip as
they mad to make, bat they are
not only band men and musi-
clans but farmers too, and that
helps to make US like them.
Their music was fine and most
heartily enjoyed.
Then those people of Keytes-
vile. What can be said about
them is good. They opened
up their homes, and spread their
tables to the visitors in a splen-
did way, and had they not done
just all they could do, the whole
show would have been off. To
be brief we must say that the
town did its very best to feed
and house our visitors, and we
think none of them had to sleep
in the park. Visitors were loud
in praise of our town folks, and
do you know that in most of
those homes no charges were
made? And is not that a great
spirit to possess? They said they
were treated just like they had
come home on a visit

HOLCOMB OPPOSED
 TO NATIONAL GUARD
Thinks Government Planned Or9ani- ZatiOn Would Not Be Adequate
 FaVOrS St:stt lard.

Hartford, Aug. 4.-EXecutive Secre- tary John B. Buckely said today in confirming reports from Boston that Governor HOlcOmb was opposed to re- esta blishm ent of the National Guard, said that the governor was of the opinion that the provision for one bat talion of infantry, two troops of cav airy, one battalion of field artillery, , one ambulance company and six cOm- panies of coast artillery, which this state was to organize under the na- tiOnal defense act, was inadequate.
 Until some plan is put forward by the federal authorities that has some semblance of adequacy" said the executive secretary, "the governor is in favor of continuing the present state force.''
 Governor HOlcOmb'S letter was ad- dressed to Col. W. F. Martin, officer in charge of National Guard matters at Northeastern department headQuar- ters in Boston. The governor stated in his letter that Connecticut did not wish to participate in the formation of a National Guard division, as it's state guard, armed, equipped and maintained at state expense, was am plo as a safeguard to the states inter- eStS.

 INJURED IN RIOTS
Grand Jury Being Selected To Try White and Negroes in Chicago
 Race War.

Chicago, Aug. 4.-After the calm est night in the black belt for more than a week the work was begun today of selecting d grand jury be- fore which will come the cases of white men and negroes accused of participation in the race riots which caused the death of 20 negroes and 13 whites and negroes of hundreds.
 The coroner has fixed the numbe of dead at 33 and the city health commissioner has found that 306 people injured in the riots were treated in hospitals. He. expressed the opinion however, that perhaps 300 or more who were injured in the riots were never received at the hospitals and consequently the total number of injured will never be known officially.
 The state troops had little to do during the night in the riot zone but much eXcitem ent was caused early today by persistent reports telephoned into headquarters of the Second regiment that a crowd of 500 men was gath ering at South Ashland and west 59th street. When a company o troops reached the scene the crowd had vanished and the soldiers returned to quarters.

LEAGUE INSISTS
 ACT IS CONSTITUTIONAL; WILL
 NOT DECLARE WAR ON TOBACCO

Tt is now well settled by the su- preme court that if congress has power to enact law, it has also the power to enact additional legislation to make the original act effective and enforceable. To define the term in toxicating liquor is necessary to make the act enforceable, especially where courts have defeated it's purpose by construction
 Referring to charges of the asso- citation opposed to national prOhibl- tion that the anti-saIOon league was actively aiding in a campaign of the w. C. T. U. against tobacco Mr. Wheeler said;
 ''The anti-tobacco scarecrow of the anti-prohibition association does not follow anyone. The anti saloon league forces have no intention to start this crusade. The liquor traffic is pub lie nuisance. The tobacco habit may be a private or personal bad habit, but it is not in the same class as in tOxiCating liQuOr.'

New York, Aug. 4.-Wayne B. Wheeler, counsel for the Anti-Saloon League of America took issue today with the opinion by Elihu Root, Will liam D. Guthrie and William L. Mar bury, counsel for the U. $. Brewers association that the proposed war en- forcement act is unconstitutional, Mir. Wheeler also denied that the league forces intend to start an anti-tObacco campaign.
 The authority of congress to enact the war prohibition law MT. Wheeler said, rests on the provisions in the constitution which gives congress power to support the army and navy. This power and obligation extends through demobilization. The courts have so held. Congress evidently in tended to prohibit all beer and wine in the original act Some of the courts hold the act does this. Others hold differently. Congress is simply try ing to make clear the intention of the original act.
