The stubborn east will have to wake
up to the ruthless fact that the resist
less west is on the map when 1t comes
to controlling things political. The
presidential dump Of Hughes is due
entirely to the solid attitude of the
west against the viciousness of
the invisible government in Wall
street and the warning has
gone out that we will no
longer stand for it. AS for the
east 1t is absolutely controlled and
hog tied by the COMPOSITIONS. II the
people there like this sort of thing
let them get over it as beast they can
by licking their own sores. AS for us
of the uncivilized and rowdy west we
have none to lick. By the way what
are they now going to do for the west?
They have always been doing us up.
McAdoo say it was the progressive
west that saved the day, but what
will all this save for us? Denver

The politicians are now telling how
it happened. One of the reasons
given is that standpat elment had too
much to say about affairs. The CAIN
paign managers were afraid to have
Teddy come to Ohio until the last
few desperate days before election; I;
the pacificists Of the Capper type in
Kansas would not let the foreign
policy of the president be assailed;
the discussion of the eight hour law,
so called, was scarcely permitted In
many states. In other words large
number Of the Republican leaders ex-
pected to win an election and yet
have no issue to fight over. Another
fact which affected the result in
California directly, and without
doubt gave state to Wilson was the
way in which Hughes snubbed Gov
ernor johnson when the former Wis
tied the state. No man can snub
johnson and get very far In Cali
fornia state politics. Hughes did
not even ask to meet johnson when
he was in same hotel with him. -

About the best local race made in
the late contest was that by George
Beemer, Democratic candidate for
treasurer. George was put up at a
late date, against one Of the most
popular candidates on the Republi-

handicap, made a splendid run. He
feels grateful to his party and friends
for their support. Needless to say, if
George will accept the Democratic

Good Prices for Live Stock

The livestock situation throughout
the world points to an era Of good
prices for Anerican.bre live stock.
Not only does 1t happen that Europe
is selling and eating itself short, but
the livestock production of the agri-
cultural countries outside Of Europe
is not keeping pace with the growth
of these countries. Western Canada
IL eagerly buying foundation stock
with which to build up herds for the
future. The same thing is true Of the
other lands mentioned, and In the
United States, South Of Mason and
DixOn's line, the great diversified
farming movement Of the past half
decade is insistently calling for all
the good breeding stock that can be
brought In.
AS consequence of this world
shortage and demand the livestock
business Of the United States is In q
thriving condition, with the outlook
for the future most excellent. Be-
tween the demands for herd-building
purposes and the going consumption
demands Of the local and export trade
the livestock farmer is facing q situ-
alton in which the only danger Is that
high prices may persuade him to sac
rifice his brzeding stock. When one
consideres that, broadly speaking, the
agriculture of the United States Is on
. live stock rather than grain-grow-
ing basis, and that the dairies, cream
cries, cheese factories, and packing
plants rather than the cash grain
crops are representative of the typi-
cal American farm Of today, he Is led
to believe that the situation from the
standpoint of the American farmer is
an exceedingly hopeful one and that
the situation from the standpoint Of
the American farmer is an exceeding
Iy hopeful one and that this great in
dustry with Its annual business over
turn Of nearly ten billion dollars is
due to an era Of expansion that will
be reflected in the better equipment
for the farms, the erection of better
farm homes, the development Of still
better live stock, the building Of roads
and schools, and all that goes to make
country life wholesome.
| In this connection the reader should
not forget that while the farmer is
ordinarily thought Of as producer
he represents 40 per cent Of the popu-
lation Of the country and quite IS
lgraAt . relative buying or consuming

ERFUL SERMON SUNDAY MORN
ING AT OLD CHURCH.

Rev. S. p Halves, former pastor OF
Zion Church, in the absence of Rev
Clyde Johnson, the pastor, preached a
powerful sermon at that church on
Sunday morning. The text was taken
from Joshua, CAS- for me and my house
we will serve the Lord" the subject
was THE Making of Christian
Home"
MIR. Halves said that it was in the
power of every head of a house to
make the decision that Joshua had
made at the great convention of the
lsraelites. He said that every man
had as his duty the making of this
declaration.
Mr.. Halves showed that the security
Of the nation depended on nothing
more than the security of the individ-
ual homes, since the nation is but a
collection of these homes. He stated
that. if every householder made the
decision that Joshua did, the nation
would be most great and flourishing.
He said that Gods plan of organiza-
ton was through the home, and that
nothing should receive greater atten-
ton from the heads of the houses.

FREE CLINIC WILL
TREAT HAY FEVER
BY NEW METHOD
SIX PATIENTS UNDERGO "FlNGER
SURGERY" ON SATURDAY
NIGHT.
MURFREtSBORO DOCTORS ASSIST
DR.. M. E. o'Bryan Has Active Charge
Of Work-Treatment Will be Given
To All Who Apply Free of
Charge.

The first free clinic for the treat
ment of hay fever ever established in
Maury county, was begun on Saturday
night, when DR.. M. E. O'Bryan, assist
ed by DR.. NJ. w. Henderson and DR.,
l.. H. Tate, of Murfreesboro, gave
recently discovered method of treat
ment to six patients. The method
used wah Finger surgery" as discov-
cred by DR.. j. A. Edwards, of st. Louis.
The clinic now established will be
continued throughout the, year. DR..
O'Bryan has announced that any case
of hay fever will be treated free of
charge in his office if the patients will
call and have an engagement for the
clinic assigned to him. DR.. O'Bryan
wants all the people in the county who
are afflicted with the disease to call
at once. The Murfreesboro doctors
will be called over and the treatment
administered.
The new method takes as its start
ing point the hypothesis that hay fever
is disease that lasts all year, instead
of only in the summer as is supposed;
that it is caused by the poor nutrition
of the mucous membrane Of the nose,
and that the acute condition is pro.
duced by the pollen in the summer.
The method pursued by the new meth
cd is to open up the nasal passages by
finger surgery and to give the prop
er amount of ventilation to the nos
trils.
DR., O'Bryan is expecting great re-
ults from the clinic. He says that
very case treated in the clinics of
lther cities has produced a cure in
rom seven to fifteen days.
