Beautiful Scenery
Startling Effects

This is not only a slight-of-hand
performance, but a clever, classical
art of Master Illusionist, featuring
his Revue of Conjuring." In the
Revue of Conjuring" Mr.. Goldin
takes the spectator from the fif-
teenth to the twentieth century, and
by cleverly blending his powers of
necromancy with the art of the pro-
team actor, presents striking "coun-
terfeit presentments" of BeAutier
DeKolta, Professor Bitten, Robert
Houdin, Fool -You-Too" and Herman,
the five great magicians that
spanned those half a thousand years
of mysticism. While made up to rep
resent these past masters of the art
of mystery, Mr.. Goldin performs
what they themselves considered
their masterpieces.

A Bilious Attack.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform it's func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This inflames
the stomach and causes nausea,
vomiting and a terrible headache.
Take Chamberlain Tablets. They
will tone up your liver, clean out
your stomach and you will soon be
as well as ever. They only cost
quarter.-Adv. DIV

THE ADVANCE OF THE WORLD.

Within the memory of men who
are yet active today, six empires
have disappeared-and nearly 500
100000 people, close to one-half the
worlds population. have been re-
leased from the shackles of imper-
ialism since 1871. History has no
parallel for such changes. In the
retrospect for such changes. In the
but flash in the march of the ages
and yet since 1871 the doctrine OF
republlitcanism has been embraced
by half the world. Not all the pre-
ceding 1000 years of markind.s
march toward liberty records such
progress.
Six emperors have laid down
crown and scepter since the last
third of the last century was Usher
ed in. Three have died, one was
murdered, the other two are in exile,
while of the three still living only
one-the boy emperor of China-is
still enjoying the luxuries that
sweeten life for those in high places.
It was Napoleon III who led this
debacle of imperialism. Dom Pedro
of Brazil was next and the last of
the Manchu dynasty followed The
crash of the three remaining Europ-
can empires-Russia, Austria-H Hun
gary and Germany-reSulted from
the war for democracy. When it
comes to mere kings, memory can
not recall them all, for they have
tumbled everywhere, from Hawaii
to Portugal, from Saxony to Bull
garia.

THERE CAN BE NO INDEPEND-
EMIT TRADE.

It is right for the government to
fulfill it's pledge in reference to the
guaranteed price of wheat for 1919,
and, as human nature is at present
farmers to accept it. But from the
point of view of absolute or even
relatives, it is nothing more or less
than class legislation
This thing of calling farmers pat
riotic because they increased their
acreage with the prospect of receiv-
ing more than double, pre-war prices
Is the same kind of patriotism as
that of the manufacturer of shrap-
mel at skyhigh prices, or of the pro-
priet0r OF restaurant who charges
q dollar or two meal because he
can get it.
There are a great many farmers
who earn every cent they make by
are others who spend time burning
up the country roads in Fords and
six-cvlindered rigs. Farmers feel
justified above all other alleged prof
iteers because they labor under the
belief that they are the fountain
head of all wealth or production.

away for nine months. the farmers
would be as helpless in getting re-
suits as lot of men with paper
clothes in a forest fire. Whether
these. tools or machinery are made
in village blacksmith shops or in
mammoth plants, they come ahead of
farming operations, and yet they
are not first. So far as feeding our
present population is concerned
both of these agencies would be ut
terly inadequate without the rail
roads, and they in turn would be
only rights of way with two streaks
of rust WITHOUT the cooperation Of
the other industries The fact of
the matter is that there is no such
animal as absolute independence

notes that "All over the country
they are planning memorial build

communities which desire them are
asking either their state or national
government to furnish the money.
They are all willing to erect memoir

them and we suspect that the word

add to the importance of their cities.
