ASSERT THAT NATIcN

Be Recognized.


The world is short Of wheat the
United States is oversold; and pric-
Is must certainly go higher" says a
statement recently issued by the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
Already, more than i25 million
bushels OF wheat have been shipped
to foreign countries Onr export
able surplus does not exceed 200
million. Reports from the Chicago
wheat pit indicate that traders have
on hand contracts for ut least 80
million more bushels than our re

I'VE Hrst look facts in the face
and realize that there is no wheat
surplus today On the contrary.
there is real shortage. and those
who have studied the situation close
", freely predict So or $3.50 wheat.
says j. r. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
He continued: we do not in
tend to call an organized strike to
withhold grain from the market to
force the price to regain its true
level but we feel that every farmer
should know the facts as to the
available supply and probable de-
nand. and if on the strength of the
facts it seems good business to hold
he Should be granted the necessary
credit to do so We do not believe
that the general public desires to
see the farmer accept the present
ruinous prices offered, particulars

ORGANIZED
LABOR PROTEST
Will Oppose Granting Full Demands
Of Railroads for Increased Rates
to Make Up For Higher
Wages.

limited Press chased Wire Service. ]
WASHINGTON, July 27.-Organized
railroad labor will soon make known
its definite decision to oppose the
granting of the full demands of the
rate increases put forward by railroad
executives, it was learned today
Back Of labor's opposition was the
determination to refute the repeated
argument that the public must bear
| the entire burden Of the 100000, 900
wage increase recently granted by the
railroad labor board.
Labor does not intend to be the
lscapegoat," said Edward Heating, for
mer Colorado congressman, and now
editor of Labor" official organ of the
Plumb plan league today. I'VE do
not propose to see the men get a
$500, 900, 900 increase and then have
the railroads use it as an excuse to
collect much more than that in in
creased rates"
Studies of the rail managers most
recent request for increased rates ip-
GLIDING passenger, baggage pullman
and freight rates, as well as the first
request laid before the interstate COM
merce commission, were being made
by the labor leaders.
When rate hearings are held, the
labor union heads will be ready to ar
que that they will bring in several
hundred million dollars year more
than the railroads need.

CAN'T GET MEN
TO CUT WEEDS
City Council is Appealing to Civic
Pride Of the Property Owners to
Get the High Growths Cut
Down Along Walks.

The city council is appealing to the
people Of Keokuk to help them in the
city beautiful campaign.
1t is practically impossible, they say,
to get men to cut weeds. Weeds are
growing waist high over the sidewalks
in many parts of the city. Especia-
ally is this true on the north side of
the city and along the avenue where
there are vacant lots.
The council is asking owners of
these lots if they will not cooperate
with them to the extent of cutting the
weeds. Some of the avenue lot
owners can get little extra exercise
by swinging sickle or scythe, and
can help beautify their property.
City officials say they have tried to
hire men for this work but the men
only laugh at them. Hence the an
.pealto the civic pride of the property
owners.

for the first time of the race.
The wind was still very light and
prospects were that the contest would

wind was uncertain, she again tackled
to the starboard on Shamrock's lee

At Ais, the first mark was about
four miles away.
Resolute stepped out from Sham

This time she succeeded in crossing
the Shamrpck's bow, gaining the
weather position.
Resolute then went about again,
having gained the advantage in posi-
ton. Both yachts were holding the
starboard tack at 1870 with the Ameri-

The chemists of Spencer Kellogg &

moved from castor oil. In the opinion
of physicians and druggists who are
already familiar with keIIogg's Taste

provement is real blessing. It's the
same old-fashioned castor oil that
every physician prescribes. It's 100

trength and purity remain the same.
Today you can take kellogg's Taste
less Castor Oil easily. Children take
it without coaxing or bribing. Do not
accept substitutes. Sold by all good

absolutely without nauseating taste,
insist on genuine laboratory filled bot
ties, plainly labelled Kellogg's Taste
