IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

Des Moincs Register: The main
cause OF present day discomfort Is the
fact that We are getting more for our
labor and less for our money.
! Webster City Freeman-Journal. The
president as evidenced by his
speeches out in Oregon and California,
Is again playing on the non-partisan
string. He always does that when he
thinks it the best policy. Too bad he
didn't think of non-partisanship when
he was selecting somebody to repre-
sent this country at the peace confer
ence.
Davenport Times: President Wilson
| is not the only man in public life who
sees visions and dreams dreams. Pre-
mier Lloyd George. too, has heard the
voices in the air, as his London
speech attests. and has faith in the
birth of new humanity.
Council Bluffs Nonpareil: A few
| weeks ago we were led to believe that
this country was going to the DENIM
| ton bow-wows because of the nefari.
GUS practices of the profiteers. But
they are still serenely doing business
at the old stand and are advertising in
the newspapers that prices are likely
TO go still higher Looks like this talk
of getting the goats" of the profiteers
was nothing but political piffle.
Dubuque Telegraph-Herald. As long
as that treaty is dragging on the way,
it's pity the people can't decide it at
| the fall elections.
Storm Lake PilotTribune: One OF
the greatest reasons for Senator Ken
yon's popularity with the people of
Iowa lies in the fact that he first
satisfies his own conscience as to the
right or wrong of question, and then
fights to the last ditch. no matter how
strong the opposition or how unpopu-
lar his stand.
Iowa Forum: Senator Kenyon has
made upon the league of nations
speech that is certainly a pleasure to
those of his friends who agree with it.
The extent of the agreement is, OF
course, point yet more or less in
dispute; but very certain 1T is that
the extent of agreement is much
greater now than would have been the
case with a similar speech six months
ago.

Stop Itching SKIN

There is one safe. dependable treat.
ment that relieves itching torture and
skin irritation almost instantly and
that cleanses and soothes the skin.
Ask anydruggist for 35cor ST bottle
of Zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
YOU will find that irritations, pimplcs,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringwoTm

ment to interest the general
public in getting the owners OF

as their land extends.

much of anyone as / own as
much open land along the high
way as any ordinary citizen in
Stone County, and am willing to
start the good work by putting

anyone interested in beautify-
ing the Highway.
Respectfully,

iously wounded in Paris Wed

Yesterday when Twas pass
ing the spot at the corner Of the
Boulevard Delessert, / saw a
strange figure upon the pave
ment showing someone and ex-
amining me closely. The fig
ure was that of a rather evil
looking man. | said to myself
hello, that fellow is up to no
good This morning at the
same spot l perceived the same
figure and Immediately thought
why, that's my friend of yes
terday.' l hadn't time to con-
tinue the reflection, for the in
dividuaPs arm was raised, re-
volver in hand and he fired at
the door of the automobile and
hit the window. / didn't re-
fleet that there were perhaps
other bullets in the revolver and
as soon as the first shot was
fired l leaned forward to see.
Other shots followed rapidly,
one after another and l felt a
sharp pain low down the back
of my neck. The pain was so
intense thatsI could not help
crying out. / realized perfect
ly that l had been hit"
The Premier is reported as
being somewhat improved and
it is not thought that the wound

| News reached town early yes
terday morning that Mrs. Bedie
Parker, widow of A. B. Parker,
lwho died a month ago, was dead.

to prevail among the people.
Mr.. and Mrs. Parker were
living three miles southwest of
town, their two grown sons were
in France and had ten children
at home, all under sixteen
years of age. Mr.. Parker died
a few weeks ago and now Mrs.
Parker passes out leaving the

CANDIDATES FOR COVER
NOR BEING CUT DOWN
Not More Than Three Will Ask
For the Governors
Chair

Hon. Marion w. Riley, of Mer-
idian, will not be a candidate for
Governor this year.
For some time there has
been a growing impression that
Mr.. Riley would not enter the
race, and this impression grew
stronger after the formal an
nouncement of Hon. Oscar
Johnston, of Clarksdale, for
that Office.
And thus the crop of guberna-
toral prospects is being rapidly
thinned to a stand. News from
the coast are that Farmer
H. E. Blakeslee can be safely
counted out Of the running, de-
spite the fact. that he practically
announced for the Office several
months ago.
Much interest is now center
I'd in the plans Of Prof. w. H.
Smith, president of the Az M.
College, who loomed up largely
as gubernatoral prospect sew
eral months ago, but who has
been keeping silent on the SUBJ
|ject for the past few weeks. 1t
is known that Prof. Smith has
done very little thus far in for
mulating plans for a campaign,
which has given rise to the be-
lief in some quarters that he
may change his mind.
Should this be the case the
governors race will then be mar
rowed down to Hon. Oscar
Johnston, Lieut. Gov. Lee. M.
Russell and Attorney General
Ross Collins.
