of the brilliant Presidents their grand or

love of all who have listened to her many
appeals that have been made from Maine

Mrs. Tarbox have made many engage

"The law operates through local and

Washington. l ask you to note this
point carefully because recently in the
interests of certain candidates, If not
by the candidates themselves, sys-
tematic attempt has been made to Gre
ate the impression in the minds of the
people that the decision as to which

cannot be reimbursed by the state for
such expenditure.
Beside the wife and children of a
soldier, sailor and marine, the law
limits reimbursement by the state to
payments made by the city or town to

TINE TO SPEAK OUT.

"The time has come, however. when
in the interest of the military laws
themselves these unreasonable and
unjust criticisms ought no longer to
60 unchecked for repeated criticism
of those charged with the administra-
ton of the law cannot fail to arouse
popular distrust of the law itself This
is not my view alone; 1t is shared by
my superiors in Washington who are
charged with the important duty Of
administering these same laws
throughout the Nation.
Il have thought it proper, therefore,
to leave my public duties long enough
to discuss frankly and as briefly as
possible some of the features of the
operation Of this delicate and compl-
Gated machine into whose gear boxes
some gentlemen have lately been
throwing sand in the course of their
campaign for public Office.
"The very heart of our military sys-
tenn is the so-called selective service

Cincinnati authority, because few drops
OF freezone applied directly on a tender,

A quarter of an ounce of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but is suf-

Catches Seven Cranes;
Judge Was After Fish;
Birds Wanted the Bait

Dallas, Tex Droughty condi-
tions in western Texas have driven
large numbers of long cranes
into the open and made them so
bold that they put up stubborn
fight with fishermen for their
bait" according TO Assistant Attor-
ney General John c. Wall, who has
lust returned from the Colorado
River. Judge Wall declared that it
was necessary to keep the bait hid
den to prevent cranes from steal
ing it.
That the cranes are determined
to have food is evident from the
number Judge Wall caught on hooks
while on his fishing trip. Seven
lean, long-necked denizens of the
marshes were taken from his hooks
in one week.
Judge Wall declared he was us
ing two lines while fishing and that
while one line was in the water the
other, baited, lay on the ground.
Starving cranes sneaked up behind
the judge and swallowed the min
nows on the line which lay on the
ground. Some of them put up des-
perate fights and had to be shot
before they could be taken from the
hooks.

Oversupply of Soft
Coal Is Alleged

New YOFk-During the first seven
months of the present coal year.
April to October, 36S,S5S, 900. net
tons of bituminous coal were pro
duced In America, an increase of
42,437,000 over the output for the
similar period last year, according
to Coal Age. 1t is claimed that
there is an oversupply of soft coal
in almost every section of the
kcountry, and many mines are unable
to dispose of their output.
1t is said further that the steel
mills and blast furnaces are so well
supp plied with soft coal that they
will not come into the market for
more until they can utilize their
large stocks in manufacturing peace
| time products. This is said to be
| true of almost every industry But,
| pointing to postwar activities, Coal
! Age wants to know who can tell
how long these favorable conditions
will continue, and says the shortage
(which now exists on paper In the
Fuel Administration records may
| become a reality.
Meanwhile II is said that the out
nut of anthracite from April 1 to
| date, is behind the total production
| for the same period last year. the
estimated comparison being 60,5SS,-
| 900 net tons, against 60,S39,000. In
| creased wages and numbers of en-
ployes in hard coal production are
expected to cause pn upward trend
output,

went through just the stage in which
the truck haulage proposition is now
immersed
1t will be recalled that electric
lines started out of the large cities
reached the jumping off place with
no line beyond. Gradually these
lines were extended and the con-
nections were made. The compan-
les arranged for interchanges of
passengers, and it became possible
to purchase ticket for journeys of
hundreds of miles between main
cities and to travel in comfort the
entire distance and in time ap-
preaching railroad schedules. To-
day the truck haulage business is on
Il par in many ways with the earlier
days of interurban electric lines, and
the problem of the future will be the
connecting up of the many freight
ing companies who are so success
fully using motor trucks, and the
arrangements of a system of eX-
change of freight at points along
the routes. Then it will be possible
to ship through freight with every
promise Of its reaching its destina-
ton in the shortest possible space
of time and with the least amount
of damage. Under organization the
companies will arrange means to call
for the freight at the door of the
shipper at the terminals. and freight
for almost any point will be taken
without question. AS Americas
great road system is improved to
meet the eXigencies of the times the
ultimate will be reached.

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good
for Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the cld-fashioned mustard-plaster
burned and blistered while it acted. Get
the relief and help that mustard
plasters gave, without the plaster and
without the blister.
Musterole does it. 1t is a clean, white
ointment, made with oil Of mustard. 1t is
scientifically prepared, so that it works
wonders, and yet does not blister the
tenderest skin.
Just massage Musterole in with the fin
ger-tips gently. See how quickly it brings
relief-how speedily the pain disappears.
Use Musterole for sore throat, bron-
chitis, tonsilitis. Group, stiff neck, asthma,
