 OUR CITIZENS

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-(P)-Un- less Mexico takes steps to protect all American citizens within her boundaries there will be a radical change of the policies of the United States toward that country. So say officials of the state department and so have the Mexicans been notified, the second and last warning having been sent to them as late as July 22. To the last note the MeXicans have replied, stating that they are doing and will do everything possible to protect American lives and property in Mexico, but that, unless the Amer jeans gather in populous places it is next to impossible to afford them protection for the reason that MeXi- can soldiers and rurales are not on guard in rural districts.

What Vernon County Can Produce

What Vernon County Can Produce
During the first days of June the
County Agent had the opportunity
to be present at DIR. Christenson's
Guernsey sale, held at Waukesha,
June 18th. II was a very unpleasant
experience to watch a Vernon county
herd of pure bred animals sold at auc-
ton, to leave the county forever The
correct thing would be to bring sew
eral such herds into the county, in
stead of permitting them to leave the
county.
However, we are glad to know that
the fifty odd head sold that day aver
aged $458 per head. That shows
what kind of cattle Vernon county
can produce and, also, the kind more
of us want to produce. DR.. Christ
enson has done a lot towards Great
ing a demand for better cattle and we
feel the loss of his help in this work
by losing his herd. Vernon county
should have better cattle. Let us all
help and then watch the pure bred
cattle increase.
