TAFT AND HITCHCOCK MEET
President-Elect and Chairman Go Over
Work of Campaign.
CABINET IS NOT DISCUSSED
Judge Says He IL willing to Turn All
Details of the Inauguration
Over ia the Chair
man.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, Nov. n.-President-
Elect Taft and his national chairman,
Frank H. Hitchcock, had a long and
pleasant chat today over the many phases
of the last campaign. 1t was the first OPP
portunity for such an extended and cordial
exchange of views, and at it's conclusion
both the president-elect and national chair
man expressed their pleasure in the inter-
view.
I'VE chucked each other under the chin
and enjoyed many things in the campaign
that were decidedly serious before said
Judge Taft tonight. He added that Mr..
Hitchcock had told him many interesting
things that he had not known respecting
the prediction work and Chairman Hitch
cock said that he had the pleasure of in
forming Judge Taft that the campaign had
been conducted so far as he was concerned
without the giving of a single promise or
pledge, which would bind Judge Taft as
president, either in exchange for personal
service in the campaign or for contributions
to the republican cause.
II had known all this before commented
Judge Taft, but 1t was gratifying to have
the statement come direct from the ma
tional chairman at the conclusion"
Campaign Fund is Small.
Mr.. Taft was told about the campaign
fund which Mr.. Hitchcock is to make public
in detail in a few days. The national chair
man said that this fund was smaller in its
aggregate than any similar fund since the
record of such funds had been kept and
that 1t was collected from every state In
the union and represented a wider distribu.
ton of support than ever before "The
collections were made" Mr.. Hitchcock ex'
planned, Through the state organizations
Until these organizations were perfected
and until they understood their RESPONSE
bility in the case the income was nece sarily
small and unassured. but when they werC
in working order the necessary sinews Of
war began to come IN"
Beyond these general statements, Mr.
Hitchcock declined to go further until th'
authorized publication is made. He, how
ever, added in answer to a question, tina
New York and the east furnished proper
tionately the larger part Of the fund
Cabinet Not Discussed.
The makeup Of the cabinet was not dis
cussed," was the statement of both partIcl-
pants to the conference. LAS to the details
OF the inauguration" said Mr.. Taft, "a
should be glad to put them on the shoulders
Of the national chairman to the extreme
extent possible and have told him as much.
Just what the arrangements will be no de-
cision has been reached"
Both Judge Taft and Mr.. Hitchcock ad-
mitted that they had gone over the cam
paign in detail.
Il think Chairman Hitchcock has proved
himself a wonder asa guesser," laughingly
remarked Judge Taft. He said l would get
1926 electoral votes. Well, 321 comes near
enough to that figure to make his reputa-
ton exceedingly good"
At the conclusion of the conference Judge
Taft went horseback riding. He returned
and after dinner called at the hotel in time
to Mr.. Hitchcock to the rail-
road station.

GOOD HOME RECIPE.

Get from any prescription pharmacist the following: Fluid Extract Dande- lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar- gon, one ounce Compound Syrup Sarsa- parilla three ounces.
 Shake well in bottle and take a teaspoonful dose after each meal and at bedtime.
 The above is considered as the most certain prescription ever written to relieve Backache Kidney Trouble, Weak Bladder and all forms of Urinary diff culties. This mixture acts promptly on the eliminative tissues of the Kid neys, enabling them to filter and strain the uric acid and other waste matter from the blood, which causes Rheuma- tism.
 Some persons who suffer with the affiictions may not feel inclined to place much confidence in this simple mixture, yet those who have tried it say the re- suits are simply surprising. the relief being effected without the slightest in- jury to the stomach or other organs.
 Mix some and give it trial. It cer- tainly comes highly recommended. It is the prescription of an eminent au- thorlty, whose entire reputation, it is said, was established by it.
 A druggist here at home, when asked stated that he could either supply the ingredients or mix the prescription for our readers, also recommends it as harmless.

A GREAT CROP OF CORN.

A GREAT CROP OF CORN.
 It is as fine sight as one often sees the crop of corn L. N. Mallett and son, Clark, raised this year from four acres. They harvested 600 bushels of the Mortgage Litter corn and it is rightly named for it has small cob with very long kernels of corn on it. The crop is we'll worth seeing and they are justly proud of it and this year as grain is so high there is no better property for a farmer to have. MT Mallett agrees with the writer that the thing for the farmers of this locality to do if they wart to live and get along is to raise more corn and other grain and buy less.
 William B. Mallett is enjoying the fox hunting thls winter, and has cap tured five nice ones thus far.

of Jones School last evening (Which
pupils of the school are eligible to
membership" and other matters were
discussed by the parents, with the
president, Mrs. L. Taylor, in the

This resulted in the passage OF a
resolution to consider as eligible all
children as Junior members who are
indorsed by parents as respecting the
rights of others in the home, and by
their teachers as respecting these
rights in the street and school. Any
violation of the rules of the associa-
ton will be sufficient cause for re-
calling the pledge Eligible lists OF
pupils of the school are being made
by the teachers.
The heartto-heart talk between the
teacher and the parent resulted in
the passage of another resolution
which reads: "When discord arises
among children we, their parents,
will come together for a reasonable
and peaceful settlement"
