Editor News Times:
That old story about the sign that
hung out in front Of the wOodcarver'
which read like this, "All kinds of
twisting and turning done here"
would be appropriate for every Ro-
man Catholic church.
Father COnway's lecture Tuesday
night trying to explain to his audience
that Peter was the first pope, is with
out foundation. And 1 say also unto
thee, that thou art Peter, and upon
this rock l will build my church. and

against it, Matthew 1918. Observe
here, as Peter confessed Christ, so
Christ confessed him. Peter said:

Terrible Tort0reS

Hundreds of sufferers from pains in

arv disorders, lumbago, rheumatism,
dizziness. puffy swellings under the
eyes or in the feet and ankles, nerV-
BUSINESS, tired or WORKOUT or head
achy feeling, don't seem TO realize
that the greater part Of all sickness
today can be avoided by keeping the
kidneys working properly If you
suffer from any OF the many agonies
that accompany weak, clogged-up or
diseased kidneys you should not neg
lect yourself another day and run the
risk Of serious complications. Secure
a package Of SolvaX. the wonderful
new kidney remedy which is very in
expensive yet acts quickly and surely
on the seat of the trouble. You'll be
surprised how entirely different you'll
feel in a very short time.
X doesn't matter how long you
have suffered. how old you are. or
what you have used. The very prin-
ciple of Solvax is such that il is prac-
tically impossible to take it into the
human system without beneficial re-
suits.
Solvax is pleasant to take, gives
quick relief and has been so uniform
ly successful that w. K. Wettick will
in future sell ii under a positive guar
antee of relief or refund the money.
No other kidney remedy ever had a
large enough percentage Of cures so
that il could be sold in this manner.
: A guarantee like this speaks volumes
for the merit of Solvax.
There is no time like the present to
do thing that ought to be done. If
anyone has kidney trouble today is
the best time to begin curing it.

USELESS STRAIN ON REDFIELp.

Sec'y OF Commerce Redfield issues
four-colupn statement in an endeavor
to show that the LaFollette seamens
act was Dlameless for the sale OF the
Pacific Mail lines ships and conse-

flag from the Pacific.
It's rank waste of effort on Red
fields part, and smacks, somewhat, OF
toadying to the hurt feelings Of big
business.
If the American flag cannot fly on
the Pacific ocean save over Chinese
crews at starvation wages it ought to
quit flying on the Pacific ocean, as
matter of conserving the reputation OF
the United States and of the United
States flag, and any act that leads to
thislehould be stuck up for, not apOl-
ogized for.

Who Pays 1t?

The Sioux City Tribune raises tn
very pertinent question of 'Who pay
the profit when farm lands increase il
value?" arguing the case, conclusion il
reached that rising land values are .
very questionable asset to community
Continuing the Tribune says:
Eat the out set it probably will be
admitted that the farmer who desires
to retain his land and operate it fol
the use of himself and his family is
not especially benefited by increased
valuation. With him it is a question
of what the land will produce and OF
prices secured for his products. Aside
from the effect on his personal pride,
of which proper use is made in official
circles, such a farmer would thrive
better on low valuations, as this would
reduce his taxation.
Then, there is the other case-that
of the person who 'cashes in on the
increased valuation and moves into
town or to some other locality.
Whence comes the profit which he has
derived? Scores of concrete instances
might be taken up for consideration in
Iowa and neighboring states. Very
recently man bought 4sO acres Of
land in Iowa, held the tract three years
and sold it at profit of more than
$4,000. Putting aside the individual
fortunes acquired in such sales, what is
the effect on the community and on
the state.
each succeeding profit realized from
. tract of land must, in the final anal
ysis, be paid out of the soil or stand
as loss to the purchaser. In either
case the local community pays the bill
In large sense, through decreased
profits to the resident owner or the
tenant. 1t is either case of the own
er struggling to secure adequate earn
ing on his investment, if he farms it
himself, or of pushing the rent up to
point where the tenant must do the
struggling if the land is rented.
The community changes its pros
porous farmers for renters barely able
to exist, after paying the rent, and rob
and exhaust the soil in their annual
struggles to work out little profit for
the present, having no care for the
future. Buildings 60 to rack and ruin,
social conditions 60 down hill" and
communities degenerate under such
conditions.
lis this the kind Of progress that
really counts in permanent develop
tneAt? There is ample reason to doubt
Il in viewing the abandoned farms of
many eastern communities which held
to such short sighted ideals.
