Packers and Cotton Growers Enter Protest Approximately $14,000,000 worth of meat products, consigned to neutral ports, have been seized by Great Britain in defiance of laws of neutrality.. The Chicago packers have registered serious objection with the state department, which shows no inclination to prosecute these violations with the severity with which it has taken up neutrality violations of Germany, The packers have made many concessions to Great Britain and see no reason why a full settlement for the seizure of these shipments should not be made at once. In the meantime, the state department supinely sits by and permits an ancient enemy to
demoralize an American industry, for the packers have announced that if England persists in seizing- shipments consigned to neutral countries, they will bo compelled to stop all trade with neutral nations. This will work a hardship on many persons employed in the packing houses, for the industry will bo curtailed. Following the representations made at the state department, in behalf of the packers, the cotton growers have called a meeting to discuss the confiscation of their goods. 'A demand for a special session of congress also is contemplated. With the approach of the new cotton crop harvest in the southern states, it is expected the grievance of the cotton growers will grow in intensity. Great Britain is watching the situation closely. It fears no immediate action by President Wilson, but it is apprehensive of action by Congress, which is bound to reflect the sentiment of the country at large.
The Sinews of War It was argued at the outset of the war that hostilities would end when the warring nations were compelled to make gigantic loans to carry on the struggle. It was pointed out that the struggle would be an economic one, in which the nation possessing the biggest resources would be the one that would win. Judging by the spontaneous responses of the subject of the belligerent nations to the war loans, it seems to be a long time before the hostilities will cease. The British people rallied to the support of the government and easily subscribed $2,925,000,000. Since last fall England has been able to borrow $4,675,000,000 without any difficulty. Germany experienced no trouble in borrowing $3,500,000,000 at 5 per cent from its people, and private communications to this country say that the nation is ready to duplicate the amount as soon as the government calls for it. The economic situation, then, also will be one of the uncertain factors in the war, for all nations have a supreme question at stake. Germans in Richmond assert letters from the Fatherland show their brothers are fighting for national existence a prinicple that will inspire men to heroic sacrifice. Great Britain believes her naval supremacy, and consequently her national exist-
I ence is threatened by German success, so she is
willing to sacrifice all. France says Militarism means the downfall of the democracy in Europe, and she is fighting for that principle.
Chiggers Pay Visits to Boy's Bare Skin Pesky Little Bugs Bite Barefooted Youngsters or Worm Themselves Through Picnickers Silk Hosiery Without Any Trouble.
Taking It Easy Ambition is the spur that drives men on to success. Push and energetic action are requisites of victory. Enterprise is necessary if a man is to make progress. But there are times when it is good to put a
i curb on ambition and stifle desire to rush ahead. One of the times is during the hot weeks of sum- ! mer. A disposition of mind that is willing to let I business and enterprise run in its accustomed j channels without seeking newer and broader ones
is a happy one. The rest cure is essentially necessary at times. Energy conserves during days when vitality is put to a hard test, is energy stored up for the days when you can do twice as much with less effort.
The annual visit of the chigger is on. Throughout the Mississippi valley states, as far north at Illinois and Missouri and extending across to the Atlantic coast states, the chigger is making himself known wherever people picnic or work in the long grass, though some call him the harvest mite and others merely the red bug. Barefoot boys know him best and love him least. The chigger's habit is to affix himself with all his eight legs to the boys bare skin or to worm himself in some mysterious manner through a picnicker's silk hosiery enter the pores of the skin and stay there. In a few hours the spot becomes very painful and causes intense itching. The large inflamed spots are often diagnosed as hives, nettle rush, urticaria, or wheals, and closely resembles the bite of mosquitoes. On the second or third day a minute water bli6ter usu
ally develops. If a bath in hot water
containing soap or salt is taken within a few hours, no ill effects are likely A person walking through vegetation is attacked mostly from the knees down, and an agricultural de
partment bui.etin suggests sifting flowers of sulphur in the undercloth
ing from the knees downward and into the shoes and stockings. Napthalene is also successfully used in the same manner and is a safeguard against several other forms of maninfesting tropical insects.
Where a large area is to be rid of
the mites, it is recommended by the bulletin that the grass be cut closely, weeds eliminated and useless herbage mowed as closely as feasible, so as to expose the mites to the sun. It may be practical to spray the grass after cutting with flowers of sulphur or a dilute spray of kerosene emulsion in which sulphur has been mixed. Bermuda grass, called the Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde of the grass family, is coming in for considerable discussion among agriculturalists. Wire grass as it is commonly named, may be a valuable forage plant or a serious weed pest, as circumstances determine. By sending out shoots at frequent intervals. Bermuda grass forms a close sod which has its good points 'here forage grass is wanted.
It is the most valuable pasture grass in the South, but when it gets a start in a cotton field or other cul
tivated fields it is difficult of control. In Arizona and Southern California it has proved such an enemy of the al
falfa crop that they have named it
devil grass. As a forage plant its valuable prop
erties are resistance to heat, drought and trampling by live stock, though it is quite susceptible to frost. Thus it
is chiefly of value in states no far
ther north than Virginia and Ken
tucky. Cut early. Bermuda grass
makes good hay and two crops ordi
narily can be cut each year. A rich moist soil will yield several tons an acre. Pastures and meadows should be plowed every few years, otherwise
becoming sod bound.

Historical Society Invites Attendance for 1916 Centenary Meeting at Morrisson-Reeves Library on August 4 to Formu,bte Pkns for Wayne County's Participation in State Celebration.
Meat, Wheat And Men
How Our Food Influences Our Characters.
The Wayne County Historical Society, in co-operation with the several historical, literary, commercial, professional and other organizations of the county, has inaugurated a movement having lor its object an appropriate celebration of Indiana's Centenary in 191C. The purpose is, immediately to lend support to the State Centennial movement, but more especially to arouse a spirit, of enthusiasm on the part of the citizens of the County in collecting and preserving important data connected with early picnecr life and wirh the moral and rria'crial growth of the people. It is desired to encourage and promote the collection and preservation of the relics of former times, such as implements, tools, utensils, articles used in transportation and the chase, books and papers, edited and published by Indiana and Wayne County writers, spfcimens of art, statues, paintings, photographs of interesting places and buildings, historic and typical trees, etc. With some of this material it is designed to set forth in a suitable way.

For a Vv'eak Stomach. I "When I began taking Chamberlain's Tablets my stomach was so weak that I could not eat anything but the lightest foods. I could not stoop or get up quickly from a sitting position, without getting very dizzy and sick at my stomach. Chamberlain's Tablets helped me right off and bv using them for a few weeks I was cured." writes William Sharp. West Webster, N. Y.

in a public exhibition, or demonstration, next year, what Wayne County has contributed toward the welfare and development of our State. j Secondarily, we desire to foster the movement To properly mark and define the historic places and events in the; history of the County, so as to rescue from threatened oblivion much valuable and interesting knowledge of men and events, now held only in the memories of our older people and in obscure documents and papers which are rapidly disappearing and will soon be irrevocably lost, unless reduced to permanent, record. No county in the State is richer in the historic elements of a great State than is "Old Wayne." Back of your own organization, or back of its membership, lies a great fund of facts that may become historic because of the human endeavor and achievement involved. When we contemplate how little has been done in our county to transmit to posterity a proper knowl edge of these achievements, we feel that a heavy charge of filial neglect, may forever lie against this generation unless it makes immediate systematic effort, as contemplated in this address, now sent to all organized bodies of men and women in the county. Let us remember that, after all is said, the historic spirit is the foundation of true patriotism. It is not then worth our while and effort? Will you not at once Join efforts with us by attending a meeting lo he held in the Morrisson-Reeves Library, at Richmond, Indiana, at 2:30 p. m. on Wctlnec-day, August 4, 1915. At that meeting an organization will he formulated to carry into effect the purposes outlined. Kindly report, as soon as appointed, the name of your delegate to the chairman of this committee, B. F. Wissler, Cambridge City, Ind. Committee Lee Ault, Mrs. Paul Comstock. Mirs A. E. Edmunds, B. F. Wissler, W. D. Cook, James Knapp, E. E. Oldak.-r. B. F. Wissler has been appointed county c'.iaiman by the State Historical Commission.
It is proven that today the wheat eating nations lead the meat-eating nations. There are some interesting
observations on the subject.
The succulence and flavor of meat depend not only upon careful cooking
but on hat the animal was fed with
In the same way the meat and food
we eat influence our characters. Eng
lishmen are "beef-fed," and to that
they owe their stolid and tolerant characters, slow to move to enthusiasm, with a great liking for compromise and toleration, and a big facility for forgiveness. The porridge of the Scot makes him argumentative and opinionated, and the restless vivacity of the Irishman is due to his potato diet.
A famous actor carried his belief
in the influence of food so far as to
vary his menu according to the char
acter he was playing; eating pork for
tyrants, beef for murderers, and mutton for lovers.
This may have been taking matters
to extremes, but it is a fact that mutton lovers are generally of a quiet temperament, and given to sentiment, while big beef eaters are more often than not of a choleric, fierce character. Observations of regular pork eaters have not justified the allegation that they are tyrannical; but certainly pork is different from other meats, and noted bullies have been extraordinarily fond of pork chops. Fat bacon produces a lethargic character slowin thought nd action. It is alleged that vegetarianism makes clear thinkers, but moody characters. Last, but not least, big bread eaters are of a dominting chracter and become natural leaders.

COURAGE IN WAR
What war teaches as well as business life.
Old Bill Simpkins sold his pumpkins,
And his squashes, corn and wheat,
Told his wife wife his soul was pinin'
For a car they couldn't beat
One that had the latest starter,
Electric lights that always shine;
Al" them dern new-fangled fixin's,
That make all the cars look fine. Old Bill's wife objected strongly Claimed the old car good enough,
Cause it always went a scootin' Whether roads were smooth or rough;
All you had to do was crank her, Pour in oil and gasoline, And she'd climb and kep a climbin Stiffest hills you ever seen. But old Bill he'd set his notion On the latest wrinkle out. An' it wasn't many hours Till he'd agents all about. Every car could beat the other, Every agent softly swore. And' old Bill was soon a thinkin Buyin' cars an awful bore. After many crooks and turnin's Bill dug up his hard-earned cash, Paid it out an took his lesson. Then set out to cut a dash. Down the old home road he drifted, Floatin on the wings of time, With his wife a follern' after, Old "tin Lizzie" doin' fine. Soon the hills grew rough and steeper, Bill's new car began to strain, As each hill grew hard and harder, Bill's old car began to gain. And at last the cough grew hoarser, Bill threw gears and loudly swore, As his wife with old "tin Lizzie" Passed him with a rip and roar. L. A. Handley.

HOW WE WON OU
WE SAW THE PRIZE AND GRABBED IT.
Everybody In town knows- that w
are first in getting the best of every
thing. Last week we received a lei
ter from Prof. Munyon showing us
plan whereby he could rush his Hd
moeopathic Remedies direct from h
laboratory into our drug store with out losing any of their curative prop
erties. We saw the importance of thi
offer and immediately sent in our oi
der for a full line of his remedies. We want to say that we received
letter from Prof. Munyon stating tha
if any one bought the remedies an
they were not perfectly satisfied wit
results, that we were to return th money. He says: "I want you t
specially push the Rheumatism Rem
dy in order that people may know
Find the hardest case in town, thop
that doctors have failed to cure, an
get them to buy a 25c bottle, and
it doesn't relieve stiff and sore joint
pain in the back, side, or in any par
of the body before one bottle has bee
used give the people back thei money." This certainly must inspir
confidence as everybody knows tha Munyon's Homoeopathic Remedies ar
absolutely harmless and millions o
bottles are sold every year.
He also sent us a few hundre packages of his Paw-Paw Laxativ Pills and wants us to give them awa;
absolutely free. He 6ays these Pill
are the best stomach and liver regv lator that the world has ever knowr They don't sour, they don't gripi They school the bowels to act natui allv and take out of the system all th
poisons and matter that irritate th
nerves and cause biliousness, head
ache and general debility. We are also to give away a foui page sheet of music free to everybod who calls. Thistlethwaite's four drug store!
