The danger comes when that chance wind blows over somebody's weed crop. A movement tending towards the de struction of ;ill hay fever weeds has been launched in many states, and it will serve a double purpose for it happens that the farmer and the hay fever victim blacklist the same weeds. The flowers of the condemned plant-; arc inconpicuous anil without attrac tive odor.

This is a straw showing which way the wind is blowing. The intelligent and thoughtful vote of thc country is for Wilson. :o: LET US HAVE EM HOT The only thing that delights a corn belt farmer at this season of the year more than a sizzling hot day, is a night ro warm that it's impossible to sleep. He actually enjoys the hot : unshinc which almost scorches- his face and makes the sweat go rown his cheeks in tiny rivulets. He gladly lirs awake at night and fans himself with : newspaper to keep from sufficat ing; for all the time he can almost see and hear the corn grow. Summer resort weather is all right for the city chap who never raises anything more useful than a few cannas and a plot of grass. But it's not for the tiller of the soil. Cool days' during tfie growing season means smaller cars and fewer of them when corn cutting time comes The hotter the weather the better, just so there 'j; an rceasional rain mixed with it. Con sider the farmer's point of view the next time you complain of the heat. ? -:o:- congress lor a conscription t;Cwri heie. Ail we want is to be let um c xvpuuncuu cuSie, " i.icne."

Yv'eeds advertise themselves and the landowners. Pretty soon the men who fails to keep down the weeds on his pioperty will be regarded with decid ed disfavor by the cneigetic members of his community. New Orleans has already passed the first ordinance ever enacted for the benefit of hay ' fever sufferers. Among those pun- ! r.,. ishable under it are owners, tenants tlOIl ' have refused to bad; up Admiral Mayo's demand for a salute to the flag or icfused the taking of Vera Cruz as a punitive measure? There are hundred of other such questions being asked to which r.o an swers are given. Th.i Wail Street Journal says that the people have no right to ask them. They declare Wilson has failed, but so did Taft fail leaving to his successor a Mexico whose capital city has just been turned into a slaughter house. The republican campaign so far as de veloped consists of criticism of what Wilson has done, without a sugges tion concerning what they would have cone under tne circumstances, and even denying the right to ask wherein they would have acted differently. Perhaps Mr. Hughes will say some thing on that subject when he gets to making campaign speeches.

Hetty Greew, said to have been the world's richest woman, has just died. She inheiited a fortune of several millions many years ago by dint of careful investment and a penurious mode of living', achieved notoriety as a miser and fame as the richest wo man in the world. AVhile this' is a very dubious k'ind of fame it should be borne in mind that she fractured no law while most of the male multi millionarires ought to be in the pen itentiary and are only out because they were able to hire greater law yers than the prosecution. Mrs. Green enjoyed her passion of hoarding prob ably with equal intensity and certain ly much more enduring delight than did Ccal Oil Johnny in his profligacy. It would be absured to assume that there is any reason for general sor row today and yet male millionaires who in their manner of living were not worthy to tie Hetty's shoes havo been given some fancy epitaphs all because of certain spectacular phil anthropies.

Tills is done for the convent- ence of the west side. :o: That sensation said to be the fin est in the world of finding a $bill in old vest never happened to us and never will. When we are through with a vest there arc no pockets or lining either. :o: The Landis Carnival company which closed a week's engagement at Glenwood, Saturday night, and nett ed the Commercial club of that city over -S200 in a p?rccntage for the privilege of showing there. Not so bad. :o: Congressman Campbell's bill to phohibit newspapers from publishing "false reports" from Washington would only tend to still further limit the circulation of m.st of the speech cr congressmen make. This freak hails frcrn Kansas, of course. :o: Hundreds of refugees are arriving in New York from Mexican ports. They declare that conditions are unsettled that train service -from Mexico City to the coast in cither direction may be prohibited by the Mexican authorities. Food supplies are not only scarce, but the currency of the country is depreciating in val ue. It would seem that Cairanzt, would greatly hesitate to plunge his country into warfare with conditions so unfavorable at the start. . :o: The United States census bureau has just issued a report showing that the number of able-bodied men of military age in the United States approximately 21,000,000. It looks as though we should be able to collect enough volunteers to keep away all j of the nations of the world combine!, without having to resort to a draft. Attorney C.
