The system allegedly caused heavy losses to producers and gains to purchasers and urged grading strictly by merit.
The article argues that four to ten percent of wheat shipped is dirt and unfit due to poor cleaning, causing a loss of about two cents per bushel. It asserts the fault lies with farmers and calls for better cleaning, stricter enforcement, and potential farmer-run warehousing as a remedy. It also notes gaps in inspection responsibility and urges complaints to rail and warehouse authorities.
Gen MacArthur's division fought through Filipino trenches before Calumpit, advancing four miles despite jungle terrain and a river crossing. Six Americans killed, 28 wounded, as Col Funston led a daring river crossing with volunteers. Filipino losses likely high, insurgents heavily fortified along the Baghbay river.
A mixed summary blends a medical advert with a Civil War era battle snapshot. It praises Dr King s New Life Pills for vigor and endurance and notes battlefield actions near Calumpit with troops crossing rivers and artillery losses. Also mentions tailoring proficiency and Boschee s German Syrup free sample offers at local druggists.
