The Strange, Unusual and Radical

Only few years ago man in one
of our Western Cities was adjudged
insane. The jury said his mind had
become blank. All he could see was
an imaginary airship. In his eating
sleeping and talking his mind visual
lied airships. They sent him to an
asylum on this account, thinking that
an airship was only the dream of a
diseased mind.
Today Airships are common rea-
lily. The dreamer has made good.
He was not insane. He was only far
ahead of the times.
Years ago, another dreamer watch
ed an old iron tea kettle as it simmer
ed and boiled upon the FIRE. His
mind pictured the power Of the steam
driving ships across the seas, long
lines Of machines in factories in all
parts of the world, and the twentieth
century palatial trains over noun
tains, thru tunnels and across fertile
valleys, drawing ocean TO ocean and
man to man. This dream has come
true.
Edison too was q dreamer. His
visions were many. Among them he
saw family circles enjoying the music
Of all lands at their own firesides;
the rich mellow tones Of Madam Mel
ba; the twinkling humor Of Uncle
Josh, and all this out Of a machine.
These men were all dreamers, hair
brain Missionaries in the eyes Of the
public. and Why? The answer;
simply because they were conjuring
strange things. They were unusual,
therefore radical. Yet each of these
dreamers wrought wonderful change
for the better as monument to their
energy and originality. They dared
to brave the scorn and dirision of their
fellow men, and to launch out into
undiscovered lands.
Twenty years ago another dreamer
began to attract attention. He was a
man of humble birth, and restricted
fame and fortune yet he was pro-
found thinker, and from his medita-
tons sprung science of health des-
tined to out live any method of
health restoration yet discovered. He
conceived the brain as great central
Office, and the nerves as trunk lines
of communication leading thru nerve
fibres to the remotest part of the
body, the whole coordinating if unob-
structed in most marvellous fashion.
He saw too that if the bones of the
spine became slightly subluxated the
nerve trunk would be pinched and
communication between the central
Office and the remoter parts would be
impaired. He discovered that if the
subluxation was removed that Natures
would then restore the affected parts
to health and vigor.
This man too was laughed at and
scorned, but thru his thought has
come to mankind a great blessing the
Science of Chiropractic, the business
of which is to move spinal subluxa-
tions, and put the nerves in such
shape that Nature can perform her
proper functions.
Reader, Why suffer? There is no
need to be sick. Your Chiropractor
can find the cause of i'll health and
remove it. Delay no longer. Try
Chiropractic. 1t may seem strange,
unusual, radical, but 1t gets results.

RECONSTRUCTION NOT
REVOLT, SAY ENGLISH

LONDON, Aug. 1.-The word rev
olution'' which foreign observers some
times apply to the present transitional
stage of British industrial and political
life, Is not popular mere. Revolution
savors Of bayonets and bloodshed, and
the British people do not foresee nor
predict that. reconstruction is the cur
rent term, even though general result
of what Is being done and agitated for
may, in the opinion of other peoples,
amount to an industrial revolution.
A brief summary Of the changes
under way should show that reconstruct
ton in Great Britain comes
roughly under two heads-the official
and the unofficial, The principal prof.
ects which the government is graphing
with are these:
Naturalization of the two great basic
industries, coal mining and the rail-
ways.
Government support for all persons
out of work through wal conditions.
Schemes for government house build
ing for workers, and land for the de-
modified soldiers.
A colossal system of electric power
plants for manufacturing.
Increased a for everybody In he
government service, which a already
been granted to the navy and army,
with further increases for postal and
telegrP phi workers and h police, School
teachers n other classes of public
servants also are demanding increases.
The unofficial reconstruction calls for
higher wages and shorter working hours
for all in the organized industries. These
are being obtained partly by amicable
negotiations between employers and
workmen, but also largely through
strikes, of which the idleness Of half
a million from the cotton mills is an
instance.
Proceeding simultaneously with these
movements and sometimes complicated
with them are political agitations which
now and then reach the point Of crises.
Tho principal political issues are: Ma
tionalization of mines, railways and 9TH
er essential industries; abandonment of
the old British free trade system for
protection (involving the question open
to endless discussion whether British
commercial prosperity has been because
lvof free trade or handicapped by III, the
position OF Ireland, who's present con-
dition has come to be recognized as a
milestone on the neck Of the empire;
and the proposal to clear off the war
debt by a levy IN capital.
Also there Is a campaign o[~forganized
labor, backed by talk of a general
strike, for the, immediate abolition of
conscription, withdrawal from all in
reference in Russian affairs, and bring
ing home the soldiers from Russia, In
dia and Egypt. Anti-imperialism, the
democrats call this propaganda.

FARM LABOR NORMAL
IN MINNESOTA HARVEST

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. 1.-The farm
labor situation in Minnesota, North and
South Dakota has been normal during
the haying season and the outlook is
favorable for the harvest and threshing
season in the opinion OF state labor
officials. A better class of men than
in former years have met the labor
needs, 1t Is stated.
In Minnesota farmers have been pay
ing $50 to SOS per month and board for
labor. The scale OF wage has not been
rixed for the harvest season, but Of
ficfals OF the United States labor bureau
say that wages paid In states farther
south will be met by the northern far
mer. In Kansas and Nebraska the har-
vest hands receive from IS to $6 a day,
the day averaging ten hours,
Men closely In touch with the harvest
hands this year declare the oldtifne hobo
liz being crowded out by a new type OF
laborer. The percentage Of college
and university men In the fields is said
to be larger than ever before, There
are many returned soldiers among the
workers.
The radicals, who in past years caused
much trouble are not so numerous.
There has not been q single report OF
sabotage in the northwest.
Early season plars for the Boy Scouts
TO take the fields In case labor did not
meet the demands Of the farmers dll
not develop. The few boys who hired
out on farms found that they we're bet
ter fitted for lighter work.

MISSOURI FARMER IS
TO TEST AIR OWNERSHIP


KANSAS CITY. Aug. Whether a
property owner is also owner Of the
air above his land Is to be determined
through a court action brought by Fred
erick Hoenemann, a farmer. He seeks
10 restrain a company owning airplanes
from using the air above his farm.
Hoenemann contends that sight Of
the machines and the noise of their en-
gines disturb his live stock,
There Is said to be no direct precedent
to guide the court, and the case Is
causing wide discussion in legal circles.
Legal experts Of England have dis
cussed the matter from the standpoint
OF national ownership Of the air, 1t is
said.
Some lawyers contend that freedom
OF the seas and freedom of the air are
the same, while others assert the courts
have held that ownership carries with it
light and air above the property as
well as the earth beneath.
1t is pointed out that when the steam
engine came there were many law
suits, the plaintiffs %contending that the
noise as well as the danger leopard
lied their stock. The Massachusetts
supreme court, however, rendered the
opinion that the locomotive was law
full and in keeping with progress. At
torneys say a similar condition arose
When motor cars came into use, but
the highest court Of Indiana ruled in
their favor on the grounds that the
law must keep pace with progress.
