man being. On the contrary a horde
of spies have followed him and dog
ged his footsteps for years that they
might find means of accusing him.
When the so-called espionage act was
passed the Arkansas Gazette boasted
that sit would stop socialist propa-
ganda." A great drag net to catch
radical thinkers. All of whom now
are listed as "bolsheviki." Even the
partisan league of the northwest
is called "bolsheviki" by some of the
grand dukes of graft.
The partisan league has gotten
control of the Legislature of North
Dakota and e. B. Tussell says "The
state has resolved itself into sort of
building and loan association 1t
will furnish the money for people to
build their own houses. The individual
is required to pay down one-fifth of
the cost of his house. He can borrow
that from the state when necessary
Thereafter he pays for his house by a
monthly payment, considerably less
than rents range in North Dakota.
And it is worth while noting, after
the charges of pacifism and pro-
Germanism that have been made
against the farmers, that North Da-
kota intends to give pecialadvantages
to the 10000 North Dakota boys who
served in the army and navy dur
ing the war. For a while North
Dakota will require a 20 per cent
cash payment on a house from the
ordinary citizen. 1t will give each
returned soldier $25 for each month
that he spent in the service-a bounty
that will be sufficient in most cases to
put the returned soldier in possession
of his home at once. If this is
bolshevism give US all you have tc
spare.
But to return to the case of Debs.
expect to live to see the time that al
thinking Americans will be ashamed
that the law under which he was con-
victed was placed on the statute
books of America. And another sub
ject that needs elucidation by some
one in the inside is: "Why are oul
boys forced against their will to take
part in the civil war that is harrow.

A Thorough Test
One to Convince the Most Skeptical Iron
ton Reader.

The test of time is the test that
counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Ironton residents should be con-
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
Anderson Rust, Ironton, says: 81
was badly in need of something that
would relieve me of lameness and
aching in my back. The kidney
secretions were too frequent in pass
age, especially at night and some
time accompanied by pain. A short
use OF Doan's Kidnev Pills, which |
got at the Arcadia Valley Drug Co.,
entirely cured me-"
NO TROUBLE SINCE
Over three years later Mr.. Rust
said: ~ have never had any return
of kidney complaint and am as strong
in praise of Doan's Kidney Pills now
as ever.n
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills---the same that
Mr.. Rust used. Foster -Milburn

From Near Arcadia Heights.

Since my last letter to the REGISTER.
we have not had an opportunity of
gather many items of news for publi-
cation.
The fruit out here is all killed.
There will not be an apple, peach or
cherry in this immediate vicinity,
which is very much to be regretted.
For three or four weeks the ground
was too dry to break corn ground,
and in many places farmers had to
stop their plows until it rained. Since
it began raining more than week
ago, it has been too wet to break
ground or to plant corn; consequent
ly many farmers will be very much
behind with their crops, unless it
quits raining soon, and remains fair
weather for at least ten or twelve
days. There nearly always has been
time for sseed time and harvest
and we have an abiding faith that
such will be the case this year.
Mr.. Dinger is getting his dwelling
house pretty nearly completed. 1t
will be nice when it is completed, and
add much to the appearance Of this
vicinity.
Robert Hartwicks has leased the
old "dairy farm" and is making
preparations for putting out crop Of
corn and millet, If it stops raining 50
he can do the work.
Mr.. O. w. Phillips, who has been
teaching the Sabula school, closed his
school last week, and is now at home
with his family near the Heights. II
is his intention to farm again the com,
ing season.
A good young mule, belonging tc
Eli Depew, recently got one of it's legs
broken. DR.. Mckee was called and
did what he could for the mule, and
1t is reported that it will likely get ell
right again. which we hope it will.
Mr.. Joe coleman, Of Roselle, re-
Gently visited your writer and took
dinner with him.
Not long ago, your writer made
business trip to Flat River, and ir
order to do SO, 1t was necessary tx
catch the early morning train (No. s
we believe), which arrives at Irontor
at 1880 A. M, or about that time. We
had to walk about mile before we
reached Ironton, and it was one o.
those really dark mornings. Think.
ling all the way along the road il
would be really nice to get into Iron
ton, where we would find the streets
lighted up. But to our surprise there
were no lights and we had to con
tinue our way on to the station in th'
dark. But when we arrived at th'
station, we found the trusty "John"a a
the station, and he promptly opened
/ the door at our request. We had onl!

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease.
Catarrh is a local disease, greatly in
duenced by constitutional conditions, and
in order to cure it you must take an
internal remedy Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine is taken internally and acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system. Halls Catarrh Medicine was
prescribed by one of the best physicians
in this country for years. It is COM
posed of some of the best tonics known,
combined with some of the best blood
purifiers. The perfect combination of
the ingredients in Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine is what produces such wonderful
results in catarrhal conditions. Send for

ignore MAYOR
AT annual MEET
Chief Executive Not Invited
to Make Labor Day Address
for First Time In rs
Years.

For the first time during the last
quarter Of century. the mayor Of
Omaha will not deliver the principal
address when Labor day is celebrat-
ed in this city. September |.
Mayor Smith is the first of the
city's chief executives in the past
Is years who has not been honored
with an invitation to take the most
prominent part in Omaha's program
for this nationwide observance.
Organized labor has ignored
Mayor Smith. He has been disap-
proved of by the central labor body
of the city, and an out-of-town
speaker will be invited to address
the $4,000 members OF union labor
here when they gather for their an
nual celebration
The mayors recent references to
the cause of union labor have been
condemned by the delegates to the
central organization, and he has
been officially declared to be unfair
to the workingmen.
While arrangements for Labor
day celebration were being dis
cussed at a recent meeting of the
Central Labor union, one of the del
egates proposed that an invitation
be rendered to the city's chief execu-
tor to deliver the principal Labor
day address. The delegates who
proposed the name of Mayor Smith

1t is estimated that the 4S mill
levy will bring in $2,54S,S02 for the
schools. Other incomes will bring
the total income to S2,726,l25.
OF this sum, $l,543,o50 will be
spent for salaries of principals, su-
pervisors and teachers, and for pur-
chase of textbooks and supplies; for
