Ave years old today, and he handles the reina
Of his favorite horse as youthfully and
vigorously today as when he first took up
those OF his political career.
Leaving his house at s o'clock this morn
ing, the Senator and his FIVE children headed
their horses for the open country and dis
tant hills with no very definite direc-
tion or destination in view, just on a ram
bling hike OF from thirty 20 forty miiee
that Is one Of the customary pleasures OF
this family group. The luncheon will bo
eaten wherever and whenever the party
comes upon hotel that looks good"
The riding party will reach home In
proper time for dinner this evening. and
there the Senator expects TO meet a few
friends probably including some OF his
closest political chums. He would not dis
close however who the members Of this
little home party would be- He disclaimed
any knowledge Of special dinner that II
had been reported his political friends were
planning to give him.

WHY WE SHOULD SUPPORT
OUR TOWN NEWSPAPERS.

There are all the reasons in the
world that We should support our
town newspapers. Because the
growth of a town depends upon news
papers that advertise and boost.
A newspaper advertises all the good
points of "a town and try to eliminate
by publicity the bad ones.
Jefferson said that he had rather
live in a town or. country with news
papers and no government than in a
country with a government and no
newspapers.
It would be impossible for a town
to grow without newspapers in this
twentieth century of progress,
When we support our newspapers,
we are building up our town, for
newspapers encourage people to IT
together and work for fhe towns
good.
Newspapers advertise their home
town so that people in other places
learn how desirable it would be to live
in that town and thus helps a town to
grow.
After a town has started TO row
newspapers keep it growing.
AS newspapers stand for progress
there r all the reasons in the world
that we should support them and none
that we should not.

THE. SCHOOL ROOM RIDDLE.

In a Western United States rural
school, recently. the teacher, to relieve
the tedium. knocked for silence and
requested her pupils to PROFOUND some
riddles. One of the rash scholars
promptly asked: why is this school
room like a motor carp and in due
time followed it with the answer, "Be-
cause everything depends on the
crank up in 'front.'" The interesting
thing about this incident is that there
are parts of the Western United States
in which schools children are not yet
familiar with the self-starter.-Chris-

At the same time the President au-
tborized the further statement that
what rendered the situation even g
crave than it had been supposed that lC
was was the discovery that, While Inc
President under his general constitu-
tional powers could do much of what
he had asked the Congress to empoW-
or him to do, it had been found that
there were certain old statutes as vet
! ~TnrepeaIed which may raise unsupora-
! bile obstacles and may nullify MS
power.
The old law referred to by the Pres
ident was adopted by Congress in 1919
and referred to the resistance OF

tween President Wilson, Secretary NC

nounced he opposed the bill but l
not oppoes a vote.
The senate has been called by the
President to meet in special session
tomorrow, in accordance with the Gus
tom of having such sessions at the be
ginning of each administration to n
stall the vice-president and confirm
nominations.
There has been discussion of con
tiuing the session this time to consider
changing the senate rules. A pers1s-
tent fight has been waged for years
for some form of cloture. and oppos1-

END STOMACH TROUBLE,

"Pape's Diapepsin" makes sick, sour,
gassy stomachs surely feel fine

If what you just ate is souring on
your stomach or lies like a lump of

sour, undigested food, or have a feeling
of dizziness, heartburn, f~ullness, nausea,
bad taste in mouth and stomach-head-

by ~neutralizing acidity. Put an end to
such stomach distress now by getting a
large ffty-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin

from indigestion, dyspepsia or any stom-
ach disorder caused by food fermentation

IN MEMORTUM.
lEontributed.l

with deep regret we nave to al
oo,nco the 1eaLn5 of John j. Mccall,
ono of Henderson Countg's most use
fnI and highly respected citizens. Born
in Crab Creek township on February
n 1899. died in the same toWnsnlp on
February II, 1917, being exactly %
wears old when he passed to MS eteI-
nal rest. Early in life he gave ms
heart to his Saviour and for 81 years
he was a faithful member OF GraD
Creek Baptist church. always at ms
most of duty. ever letting his light
shine: his good life has been an 1ncen-
tive to others to make the choice OF the
Christian way. He vas a maj OF kind
and loving disposition. and was held IN
high esteem by all who were fortunate
to know him.
Early in young manhood he chose
as his companion Mary e. Sh1pman,
daughter of John Shipman, and to this
union were born thitreen children, SIX
sons and seven daughters, all OF which
still are living except two sons.
A very remarkable fact is that ne
had the privilege OF seeing his family
= j increase to 1913 grand and greatgrand
children before he was called home.
After his companion was called
home on October. 5. 1904, he made his
Ehome with his children, and always
| seemed deeply interstd in their well
fare.
While we regret to give him up as we
loved him SO, yet at the same time we
know that the change was far better
! with him. With the words of ST. Paul
''For him to live was Christ but to die
is his gain"
With such men death has no terrors
but is only the galway to a greater
and more useful life. This mortal
having put on Immortality it now has
nothing to hinder it in it's greater use
fitness for it's Lord and Master. He
can now with the victorious throng
shout defiance into the face of death
and say ooh, death where is thy sting,
oh. grave where is thy victory"
1 would not live always.
No welcome the tomb.
Since Jesus hath lain there.
1 dread not it's gloom"
Then sweet he may rest till He bids
me arise,
To hail Him in triumph descending
the skies.
While We weep for his having left
us, yet we weep not as those that have.
no hope of a resurrection of the dead.
To sum up the virtues of this noble
life we would say, a devoted compan-
ion, a loving father, a noble Christian.
active in his Masters service. Not
seeking his own glory, but giving his
life to bring pleasure to others.
