you see a photograph of Con-
gressman Baer, just sent to
Washington by the farmers
of North Dakota. His vote
was bigger than that of the
six men who ran against him,
because the farmers knew
him and trusted him.
Running down the left hand
side of this column are pic
lures by Baer. This hand is
supposed to represent the
farmers organization getting
the farmers together.
For the purpose of this edi-
torial, it represents the open
hand, the smiling face, the
persistent cheerfulness, the
NEVER GIVE UP that
brings success.
With each of Congressman
Baer's little pictures are a
few words such as he uses to
encourage the farmers and
lead them to victory.
The farmers organization
of North Dakota made its
way and spread over many
States. 1t sent this energetic
young cartoonist Baer to
Washington as Congressman.
He went to Washington, be-
cause having ability as a car
toonist, he worked for the
farmers, the nations best
friends, the producers. He
worked against corruption
and trust dishonesty.
He held out his hand to the
farmers, and they took it.
And the farmers organiza-
ton held out its hand to the
farmers of other States and |
they united.
From this open hand that
Congressman Baer shows you
in his cartoon there grew the
great farmers organization
which now announces its in
tention to take out of Con-
gress two hundred men not
fit to be there, AND SEND
THE RIGHT KIND.
This interests the politicians
and farmers. 1t interests
particularly YOUNG MEN
THAT WANT SUCCESS.
Sincerity, the open hand,
held out in honesty and
friendship, the will to sue
ceed, the power to resist dis
couragement, the firm belief
that honesty and goodness
pay in the long run, the con-
viction that it is better to be
Abraham Lincoln than a
Trust millionaire taxing his
country-these are the things
that are worth while.
Mr.. Baer, now in Congress,
will continue to make car
toons-and for this news
paper. We shall print them
from time to time, and you
will see how his thoughts,
purposes and power devel-
op, as he sits in Congress
and studies the kind of men
that are sent there to legislate
for the people some times,
and other times for organized
money that controls votes.
We have suggested to Mr..
Baer that he demand the right
to publish his cartoons in the
Congressional Record. And
we say that he has that right.
The Congressional Record
is intended to express THE
THOUGHT of the Congress
man speaking for his constitu-
ents. Mr.. Baer expresses
thought in pictures. And the
Congressional Record should !

Most Eminent Medical
Authorities Endorse Il.

DR.. Eberle and DR.. Braithwaite as
we'll as DR.. Simon - all distinguished
authors-agree that whatever may be
the disease, the urine seldom fails in
furnishing us with clue to the princl-
Piles upon which it is to be treated,
and accurate knowledge concerning the
nature of disease can thus be obtained.
If backache, scalding urine or frequent
urination bother or distress you, or if
uric acid in the blood has caused rheu-
matism, govt or sciatica or you suspect
kidney or bladder trouble just write DR..
Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
NY; send a sample of urine and de-
scribe symptoms. You will receive free
medical advice after Dr.P ierce's chemist
has examined the urine e. this will be
carefully done without charge, and you
will be under no obligation. DIR. Pierce
during many years of experimentation
hes discovered a new remedy which he
finds Is thirty-seven times more power
full than lithia in removing uric acid
from the system. IF you are suffering
from backache or the pains OF rheuma-
tism, go to your best druggist and ask
for 50 cent box of "Anawic" put up
by DR.. Pierce, DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for weak women and DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
the blood have been favorably known
for the past forty years and more. They
are standard remedies to-day-as well
as Doctor Pierce's Pleasant Pellets for
the liver and bowels. You can get O.
sample of any one of these remedies
by writing DR.. Pierce.

Colored People Delighted
With New Discovery
To Bleach The Skin

Atlanta, Ga.-Says that recent tests
have proven without doubt that swar-
thy or sallow compilations can be made
light by new treatment recently dis
covered by man in Atlanta. Just
ask your druggist for Cocotone Skin
Whitener. People who have used it
are amazed at its wonderful effect. Rid
your face of that awful dark color or
greasy appearance in a few minutes,
1t costs so little that you can't afford
to be without it. Just think how much
prettier you would look with that old
dark skin gone and new soft, light skin
in it's place. Men and women today
must care for their compilations to
enter society.
If your druggist will not supply you
with Cocotone, Skin Whitener, send
25c for large package to Cocotone
Co. Atlanta, Ga.

The Fourth

1t is needless to say that the OBJ
servance here of Independence Day
was safe and sane. The display of
flags and bunting was modest, and
there was no outward lamentatlon
over the bone dry situation.
A celebration planned by Monte
rey Lodge of Odd Fellows was car.
ried out in the afternoon, and
brought goodly number of breth-
rem and visitors from other sections.
The programme was rendered in the
|. O. .. f. hall, and consisted of
speeches and patriotic songs and
hymns. Those who delivered ad-
dresses were Rev. A. P Atkins. of
Durbin, Rev. ]. c. Thrasher, of
Monterey, G. Lee Chew and e. D..
Swecker, Of Crabottom.
At the close of these exercises, an
ice cream festival was held in an
adjoining room, provision having
been made for all who came.
At the Monterey Reading Room
the Registration of the ladies for co,
operative army work was quietly
carried on, together with the sale of
flags. Although there were COM
paratively few ladies in from the
country, there were 80 registered
on Wednesday, the receipts from
fees and flags being S4l.75.
Members of the U D. c. chap
ter present from other parts of
Highland were Mrs. E.A. McNulty,
Mrs. S. w. Wilson, Mrs. Sidney
Wilson and Miss Martha i gle,
Mrs. W. R. Siron, Miss Josephine
Bradshaw, Mrs. Lee Gum and Miss
Lucille Gum. Mrs. C. c. Burns, Of
Valley Center, who came with Mr..
Burns to the | 0. 0. F. festival,
was a visitor to the reading room,
and manifested interest in the
work in hand.

Silver Springs yesterday afternoon to
raise funds to complete the furnish
ing for the comfort bags Of the sol

amounting to S21.00.
The ice cream booth presented a
very pretty picture. 1t was draped
with red, white and blue bunting, and
red, white and blue electric bulbs
were artistically strung. The booth
and all its electrical decorations were
given by Mr.. Ed. Carmichael who also
assisted Mrs. Ottmann in various
ways. Purity ice cream posters We're
noted in every available place which
recalled to mind the fact that the
greater amount of the ice cream was
Purity" and had been generously do
mated by the Jacksonville Purity Ice
Cream Factory for the Red Cross pur-
pose. All the cakes was homemade
as was a delicious freezer of civic
cream that was donated by Mrs. R. S.
Anderson. Mrs. G. A. Ottmann had
charge of the sale and was assisted by
Mrs. n. r. DeHon, Mrs. H. B. Clark
son, Mrs. Harvey Clark and Mrs. Jean
Connolly. Rev. Ottmann took charge
OF the financial part. There was an
unusually large crowd at the springs

in charge were the evry last to leave
the springs last night and were
brought home by Mr.. n. R. DeHon
in the coca-cola truck Mr. DeHon
greatly assisted the ladies all day and
also took them out in the afternoon.
