Veterans Hold Vivid
Convention al Buffalo
Department Commander Re-
ports on the 38th National En-
campment of the Veterans of
Foreign Wars Held at Buffalo,
New York, Aug. 18th to Sept.
Bird, 1887.


The largest encampment in the his
tory of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
with an attendance Of about 5000
delegates from 5000 posts in the
U. S. A. and $4,000 members in the
line of march, which extended over
three miles through the business sec
ton of the city of Buffalo, and with
numerous drum corps, auxiliary
units, drill teams, junior organiza-
tons, and the massed banner and
colors state turnout, it required five
hours to pass the reviewing stand
at City Hall. The Mayor and police
department estimated taat over &c.,,
600 were in the parade.
The five-point program for the vet
eran and his dependents will be
continued to successful conclusion,
and veterans in general will be
greatly benefited and there is a bill
in Congress, introduced by the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars, to provide
pensions for the needy and disabled
and their dependents.
Department Commander A. w.
Anderson was selected to serve as
chairman of the National Legisla-
tive Committee, and a number of
beneficial and progressive resolu-
tions were recommended and passed
by the committee and adopted by
the convention.
There was quite a fight on the
floor of the convention. Los Ange-
les wanted the 39th encampment,
but the eastern section Of the U. S.
A.. had strength and Columbus, Ohio,
won out by 70 per cent majority
Columbus, Ohio, is the birthplace OF
the v. F. w. 38 years ago.
Governor Lehman of New York,
Hoffman of New Jersey, Scholtz OF
Florida and several Senators and
Congressman delivered stirring adj
dresses and were given great ova-
ton by the veterans assembled in
attendance.
Mayor Fiorelli H. LaGuardia OF
New York made a wonderful appeal
to the convention in favor of neu-
trality, and also marched in the
parade.
Major General Smedley D. Butler,
United States Marine Corps IRE
tired), made two splendid addresses
to the convention and related his
experience covering IS years in the
service, and as a result of his appeal
a resolution was drafted and passed
by the convention to observe strict
neutrality and keep out of foreign
wars, and sent to President Roose-
welt.
General Butler advocates: Prepar-
edness, speak softly but carry a big
! stick, be ready to defend ourselves
but keep out of foreign countries,
| And also advocated that the u. S. A,
flag be not flown except on govern
ment ships and not to protect the
smuggling and contraband carried
on.
Department Commander Anderson
is doing a lot of pioneer work in
reference to enlarging the member
ship and finds a ready response and
expects to install 10 new posts and
increase the membership 1000 dur
ing his year as commander. And ii
is up to the veteran to quit riding
free and joining up with the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars is a duty and
an obligation and will be contribut-
ing his bit to promote the best in
| terests of the veteran.

he will obey only one thing-his own

Diaz Episode Recalled.
And this brings to mind an episode
of the closing years of the nineteenth
century, when the late Porfirio Diaz
was undisputed dictators of the coun-
try, which may have, for purposes Of
Interpretation. close connection with
the present-Gay Mexican powder bar-
rel. There were then two political
groups in Mexico-the Liberals, "
headed by Joaquin Baranda, and the
"Cientificos," headed by Jose Ives
Lin1antour. who died last year in
France Each group wanted to sue
ceed Diaz, but, if this were not feasi-
BILE, then it wanted Diaz to continue,
rather than give way to the other.
The astute Diaz had Baranda to
dinner one day, and told him that
Limantour was his choice. Baranda
took it as the most natural thing in
the world and changed the subject
After dinner, however. he casually
said 10 Diaz, "You have not told me

that is a most difficult thing. Be-

excellency will give thought to our
history, you will see that our former

Left Extremists Incensed.
Soon thereafter, Candidates Baranda
and Limantour made graceful exit.

cial party, he may be deprived, when
the moment arrives, of the help of
important sectors of the party.
To the many rumors about an i'm
pending revolt south of the Rio
Grande, this answer is reasonable-if
President Cardenas succeeds in firmly
stamping out the discordant elements
and swaying at the same time a suff1-
ciently powerful part of the country
in his favor, the chances of an insur-
rection succeeding may be discounted; |;
but If his actions continue irritating
various groups that can be welded to-
gether in violent action by strong

may be fact sooner than one realizes
At the present moment, it seems that
developments hinge upon what action
Cardenas decides to take in the manu-
featuring region of Monterrey.

to buy.
One Of the most difficult items to
buy, is meat. In spite Of the fact that
various cuts Of meat are displayed
and can be seen and handled by the
shopper, time and again that "delicious
looking" roast is tough and that
"tender steak" is leathery. Thy does
this happen? Because the shopper has
not learned to buy graded meat.
What is GRADED meat? Tt is meat
that has been inspected by govern
ment meat expert and bears a stamp
describing the quality Of the meat.
This grading is done by who neither
buy sell the meat. It is therefore
impartially judged on the basis Of
certain specifi cations and require
ments.
There are seven grades Of meat:
