The Pleasures Of Travel.

"Wa-alp'tu-no," said the ancient
Arkansawyer, II hain't never did much
Of what you'd call travelling. l was 81
years old last grass; born and raised
right here in Shagbark township, and
hain't been outside Of the county but
once. That was when / was about sc
years old. l went over to Torpidville,
and they just nacher'ly took and start
ed to lynch me the minute / got to
town, for something or nuther, l never
did find out what. One foot was al
ready in the air and the other barely
touching the ground when some Teller
came running and hollered that they
were making a mistake-I wasn't the
guilty party a-tall. AS soon as they
turned me i,ose lit out for home as
the crow flies, and I haint done no
travelling to speak of since. l always
figgered that on the next occasion the
Teller that knowed it was mistake
might not get there in time to do me
any good."-Judge.

DEMAND FOR DAIRY PRODUCE
Bureau Of Markets Will Furnish Plans
for Stimulating Greater

prepared by the United States Depart

The bureau Of markets Of the de-
partment of agriculture announces that
it is prepared to furnish local organi-
cations complete plans for campaigns
to stimulate the consumption Of dairy
products in cities. A campaign at Sc.
dalia, Mo-, was conducted in February
through the cooperation of the cham
Der of commerce, the women's division
Of the council of national defense, the
state college of agriculture and other
local organizations. Last year cam
paigns conducted by the department to
encourage the use of dairy products
were held in Boston, Detroit, Des
Moines, Minneapolis and st. Paul. AT
Des Moines after a weeks campaign
the demand for milk became greater
than dealers were able to meet. AT
another city dealer who was market
ing about $50 pounds of cottage cheese
each week increased his sales to $50
a day, and in other cases much
SKINNED milk that had been going to
waste was converted into cottage
cheese and found a ready market.

In the District of Columbia it is COM
pulsory to test dairy cattle for tubercu-
losis. The law was passed in 1909.
During the year which followed 1,701
cattle in the District were tested, and
10 per cent were found to have tuber-
culosis. In 1918, 1,206 cattle were tested
and less than l per cent was found to
have the disease. Since 1914 not mora
than 2 per cent of the dairy cattle In
the District have been found to be dis

INDIGESTION CAUSES SCOURS
Calf Affected Has Been Diverted, Been
Given Milk That Was Sour, or
Pals Were Dirty.

When the calf gets scours it is an
indication that something is wrong
with the feeding. 1t has either been
overfed, been given milk that is sour
or cold, been fed sweet milk one meal
and sour the next, or the pals or
troughs are dirty. Indigestion is the
cause of scours, so in treating the
trouble the first thing to do is to cor
rect the conditions that brought on
indigestion. Then give a dose of cas-
tor oil in milk and follow with the
formalin treatment. This consists in
giving one tablespoonful of formalin
solution, made by adding one-half
ounce Of formalin to 1914 ounces Of
water, in each pint Of milk fed. Only
half the usual amount of milk should
be given at feed for few days,
when the amount can be increased to
normal again. There are other rem
edies but this has been highly rec
commended.

Blind Edward Jones of Jefferson

his birds, which seem to understand
how he is handicapped, and guided
only by his sense of touch, he per
forms his daily work. He has built
his own poultry house and brood

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation. that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need OF it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DIR. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has go large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
SO many people claim, that it fulills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

"a congressional investigation will
reveal that the railroad interests are
again gathering their forces of prr-
Vate and secret control, and seek,
after having gained from Congress a

The Plumb Plan
PRESENTS SOLUTION OF RAIL
ROAD QUESTION
To Make Our Country Safe For Dem
Ocacy Popular Government Men
Must Take Active Hand

In a recent interview Judson King,
executive secretary Of the National
Popular Government League, in
speaking of the advantages of the
Plumb Plan expressed himself as fol-
lows:
"The discussion of the Plumb Plan
for the solution of the Railroad Ques-
ton is shaking the entire country
even Washington, from top to toe.
"Since the Civil War the railroads
have been the greatest single cor
rupting influence in American gov
ernment, local, state and national
from County Commissioners to Su-
preme Court judges.
"For that reason, if for no other,
popular government must take an ac-
tive hand in the settlement OF the
railroad question. Our country can
not be "made safe for democracy" II
old conditions return. 1t is the su-
preme issue now before US, far more
important than who wins the next
election. Neither the Republican or
the Democrat parties offer construc-
tive solution, and it is doubtful II
they will.
"There are few peoples men on
Capitol Hill fighting on, hoping
against hope; but a majority in both
House and Senate seem galvanized
into a paralysis of stupidity, fear
and inaction. Railroad bankers,
through an oblIging press, and an
equal obliging United States Cham
Der of Commerce, are endeavoring to
convince the nation that Government
Ownership has been a failure. ="
Whereas we have not had govern
ment ownership, and even government
control has not had fair chance.
The officials of the railroads have
been sabotaging. We pay the in

iquitous yearly rental of $94O,O0O,OOO
for the use of the railroads. This
equals as high as 80 per cent profit
to some of them on water and all.
The good things, the big things, done
by the Railroad Administration are
ignored. The people are in the dark.
"lt is an open secret in Washing
ton that the real owners Of the rail
roads don't want them back unless
the government viii guarantee them
at present an annual profit of 81 ,2OO,-
OO0,0O0 to come out of advanced rates
or else by straight subsidy? With no
federal control worth a whisper in
the wind.
"lt is an open secret in Washington
that the instant the speculative value
is taken out Of railroad stocks, that
moment the awful fear of "Social-
ism" will disappear, and the Big
Boys will be ready to sell to Uncle
Sam. The test will then come as to
how much shall be paid. What basis
of valuation will be adopted by the
politicians now in control of the gov
ernment?
"They are now capitalized at $40
00,000,000. We shall fight the sub
sidy business; we shall oppose any
looting Of the people through over
valuation, we are opposed to the re-
sumption by the old regime.
"We have always held before tax
ing advanced steps into public owner
ship of utilities, the people should
first own their government. That's
why we work for goth Century meth
DDS of self-government, with the peo-
pie in direct control, having new and
adequate methods Of publicity
Considering the selfshness, cor
ruption, incompetency and utter lack
of vision exhibited by the politicians
in control of both of the old parties,
there are grounds for hesitating be-
fore placing any serious public enter
prises in their charge.
"Here we arrive at the supreme
merit Of the Plumb Plan The man
agement is taken out of politics. On
the whole, it is the best plan yet
produced. Best calculated to sue
ceed normal conditions, and under
present conditions, and is backed by
more power than any other plan pro-
posed in the public interest.
Gone lie must be nailed here: the
Brotherhood officials did not threaten
Congress with strike. The govern
ment was informed by the Brother
hoods that, with the cost of living
soaring into the skies, they would not
be able much longer to hold their
men, with the government doing
nothing. That if Congress or the
President did not act, the men would, |
but this had wholly to do with the
wage situation, and not with the
Plumb Plan.
at is untrue that the Plumb Plan
is designed to benefit the railroad !
against the public The
thing is, that, though COM
ing from the workers, this plan pro-
poses efficient service at the cheap
est possible rates, which will be auto
matically reduced; fair compensation
to the present owners, and justice to
the workers. 1t does not propose to
