Williamson, w. Va.-"My little boy

his strength and made him healthy.
Harley Clay, Williamson, w. Va.
The reason Vinol was so successful
in this case, is because it contains
beef and cod liver peptones, iron and

Round thy table to be fed,

AS we gather to fed
Nations plead for daily bread

MASON NEEDS
MORE Pure BRED
SIRES, SAYS AGENT
County Agent Kirk Makes Statement
On The Need OF Pure Bred Cattle
and Hogs In Mason County.
(By County Agent kirk

Wy SOuhIy ASChl MINI
The fact the many men do not feel
able to buy pure bred cattle or hogs
need not discourage them. 1t is true
that the pure bred animals will show
better gains, and more quality than
the grades, but it is equally true that
the good grade animal will be vastly
superior to the scrub. The thing for
the man owning grade animals to do
is to see that the sires he uses are
good pure breds of a type which will
improve his stock. In that way his
heifers will be better than ,hcir moth
ers, and the gifts will be better than
their dams. 1t is of no use to feed
expensive feed and put in hours of
hard work every day if the return is
not greater than the outlay.
There are pure bred sires that
should be sent to the butcher as we'll
as scrubs. 1t is necessary to get
good individual as we'll as pedigree.
Do not make the mistake Of allowing
"throwbaclt" sire on your place be-
| cause he has an official number. While
lis set may be better than that Of a
scruh sire the chances are that good
individual will produce results so far
3ure'ior to the get of the poor sire
that the difference in cost may be
more than returned in the difference
in value of the first calf or litter of
pigs.
M"son county needs more pure bred
sires. In other states the bull club
has been the means of providing gooG
sires for the use of the cattle raisers.
The bull club idea is being used in
ether counties in this state. 1t is my
Iope that next year the farmers of
Mason county will have a crop of
calves to dispose of that will be so
far superior to the usual run that the
elves will be kept and some of the
COWS let go instead. I will outline the
plan in another article.

ATTEMPTS TO
DROWN SELF
IN rain BARREL

had pleaded with him to take her out
to the wood block and chop her head
off, telling him she was tired out with
the troubles of life.
At the inquest, Mrs. Bilyue appear

difference, she always ended by saying
aloud.
One day she had fainting spell in
the office. Fortunately she thought
-Mandel was away. She called a taxi
and went home. Then she wrote her
employer that she would not be able
to keep her place as she was not able
to work. Something she said in her
short note had told Mandel the reason,
"Poor girl" he said as he ordered
some flowers sent her, and answered
her notey telling her that when she
was ready to come back, her position
would be waiting. This in way was
a relief to Ruth. She was proud, and
while she might accept checks as pre-.
sents from Mrs. Clayborne, she did not
care to be dependent upon her. She
had opposed her marrying Brian be
cause he could not support her, and
she would not belittle her husband by
throwing her support upon her aunt
even when he was away.
The day after she left the shop,
her aunt came. Never was anyone more
cordially welcomed. Ruth clung to her
in the days that followed, and when,
about six weeks later, her baby boy
was born, she declared she would have
died had she been alone.
"Shall you cable Briang" her aunt
asked.
"No-he doesn't know anything
about it-I-guess II wait until he
comes back-to-tell him..
"Yes--I was afraid he would want
knowing you were to have a child3'
"Yes--I was afrail he wulod want
me to give up my position so l did not
not tell him until it was too late"
"Too latel-what do you meant"
"Until he was going-I intended to
tell him that night-but l changed
my mind" Her face flushed crimson
as she thought of her reason--Mollie
King (she was sure it had been her
voice she had heard over the tele
phone).
Mrs Clayborne said no more; but
her face wore a peculiar look, and her
thoughts were all of Arthur Mandel
She felt sure that Ruth and Brian had
parted for good. She would wait until
Ruth was stronger, then question her.
Ruth insisted upon calling the baby
'sBrian" although she agreed with her
aunt that he would probably be called
"Junior", instead of by his father 4
name. Old Rachel was in the seventh
heaven of delight.

We refer to the piece published in

an exact statement of fact concerning

His statement that the pictures Of
our governor, Haig, Foch, Loekley and
other notables were there when the kai-

we have it On absolutely. reliable au-
thority that the ex-kaiser's picturc was

And no even denies that President Will
there is large number in the district
that will swear that our president s
picture has been there for over year.
The fact that the kaiser's picture was
placed beside that of our president goes
TO show that it was a place of honor,
All broad-minded citizens know that
where our presidents s picture is hung
is supposed to be place of honor. And
the cartoon showing the kaiser hanging

would have been investigated had it

He states that he believes that the

BRIAN JUNIOR APPEARS ON
THE SCENE.

CHAPTER CXIX.


Twice again, before Mrs Clayborne
came Arthur Mandel took Ruth to the
theatre Once she consented to have
supper with him; but his pleasure was
so patent, his love for her so obvious
it made her uncomfortable; while she
was scarcely aware of the reason.
Ruth was singularly modest for one
Of her attainments and physical attrac-
tions. She hadn t particle of egotism,
save as regarded her knowledge of in
teriors. SO what would have been per
feetly plain to most women, simply
made her uneasy. Yet, that night she
refused to have supper with him and
went Immediately home.
She had heard once more from Brian.
A glowing letter filled with the spirit
of adventure, and delight in being
"Over therc.'' He was full of enthus-
iasm, and described minutely the well
come the "Yanks' received. and told
of little incidents which had happen
ed on the trip over.
Ruth shuddcred when he told Of
sighting submarines:
awe showed her clear pair Of heels
Our boat was too swift for her. I'll bet
there were lot of disappointed Huns
when we shook her off. " He had told
| it lightly, as was his way, hut to Ruth,
II was tragedy.
He had told her how to reach him,
and promised to write often. He had not
yet heard from her, but was looking
anxiously for letter He did not mem
tion business or money.
/ He takes il for granted that 1 can
toke care Of myself" Ruth muttered
bitterly, Then shut her lips lightly as
she remembered that it was her own
fault; that had she been contented to
remain in the little apartment they had
rented when they were first married.

if Brian cared for her--her happiness
he would not object to what she did
as long as she hadn I allowed it to in
terfere with his comfort. She figured

THE DAILY CAPITAL JoURNA


Congress is being urged by the capital issues commit
tee to enact legislation to protect holders of Liberty
bonds against crooks who deal in wildcat securities It
is urged by the committee which has the support of the
federal board, that action be taken promptly
before it is automatically deprived of its control of bond
and stock issues
The capital issues committee had in charge the in
vestigaton Of all stock and bond issues during the war;
in pursuance of its duty to determine which essen
tal In of its Investigations it unearthed many
dishonest schemes and dealers One concern operating
chiefly among the farmers paid out So per cent of the
money it collected in salaries to it's officers, and the
manning AZ per cent went to the operation of business
Of doubtful honesty or success Another company had
school for training statesmen in the gentle art of part
ing the unsuspectng fool from his money getting him
to exchange his bonds for worthless stocks.
The report of the committee says in part:
"At no time has the obligation been so definitely
placed upon the government to protect its public from
moters
"Their field has been greatly extended by the wide
distribution of Liberty bonds and the purveyor of stocks
and bonds now has the entire American public.
"The transaction becomes of persuasion to trade
government bond bearing low rate OF interest for
stocks or bonds baed with promise of sudden riches
ut is source of heavy financial loss to hundreds of
thousands who have right to look to their government
for the protection which this committee recommends
should be given"
The committee is composed of men who have served
honestly and well both the government and the public
and its recommendation is worthy of consideration
The financial WOLF dressed in sleeps clothing has
preyed too long among the flock of creduous and nno
cent people who will learn that brass be given
just as high polish as gold.
