Miss Barnard produced figures to
show that a teacher who had salary
OF $500 a year IN 1897 needed a sal
airy OF s1,325 year in 1917 to secure
an equivalent share of the things
OF life. And since 1917 the advance
IN the cost of living had scared to
new heights, making the estimated

DR.. Frank Whipple, of Lynn. chair

COLDS AND FLU
BEST TREATED
WITH CALOTABS
The New Perfected Calomel
That Is Free from Nausea
ting and Salivating Effects.

Physicians or druggist will tell
you that the best thing in the
world for cold. grippe or intlu-
enza, is Calotabs, the perfected
calomel, that is free from naus-
eating and saliyating effects.
Doctors have learned that other
laxatives are uncertain and I'M
satisfactory for colds and grippe,
but that they can count on Gallo
tabs, the new calomel, that has
all the liver benefits and none Of
the sting, to thoroughly cleanse
and put the system in ideal con-
dition to throw off cold and pre-
vent influenza and pneumonia.
The best time to take Calotabs
is at the first sign of a cold. If
you take it at the beginning you
can cure a cold over night. One
Calotab on the lounge at bed
time with swallow of water :
that's all. In the morning you
wake up feeling fine with a
hearty appetite for breakfast.
Your cold has vanished and you
may congratulate yourself that
you have possibly prevented SER
GUS complications, for physicians
tell US that neglected colds num-
Der their victims by the millions.
For your protection Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed
packages, price thirty-five cents.
Your druggists will supply you,
and your money given back
promptly and cheerfully if you
are delighted (adv.) |

and there Is no policy. There Is no
common objective, no one dominating
influence, nothing but four men rep
resenting four countries with totally
different visions and necessities, try
Ing to accommodate living facts in this
sad world of ours, alike to abstract
principles of the league of nations,
and to the hopelessly concrete prom
ises of the prime ministers of Eng
land, France and Italy.
Nothing has happened since the
council of four succeeded the council
OF ten which suggests the smallest
promise. I am told that Germany has
within the last forty-eight hours sent
polite but pointed interrogation to
Paris: CAS- to the invitation you are
going to send us to come down there,
kindly let us know whether your pur-
pose is to ask us to sign peace or
to discuss one" Which by interpre-
tation, would seem to be that the Ger
mans may not even come to Paris
unless they are permitted in advance
to have assurance that their views
will be heard and permitted to change
the conclusion arrived at here.
Three Months to Decide.
The man whose judgment on the
subject and whose information is best
in all Europe, told me last night that
not until the end of the next three
months could we know whether Eu-
rope would survive the world war or
go down in a general smash. In the
last few days l have had opportunity
to talk with many people coming out
of Germany. Austria and even Hun
gary. Their testimony does not vary.
They agree that Germany will not
sign any treaty Of peace such as Paris
plans to impose. In the same time,
l have talked with many men close to
the inner circles of the Paris Confer
ence and have found no one who be-
lieved that the Paris Conference under
existing circumstances could ever
reach a decision about the Treaty OF
Peace. Last of all, no one attempted
to disguise the fact that the utter
paralysis of will and utter absence of
common policy in Paris is permitting
to gain provinces every
week. We invited the Bolshevists to
90 to Prinkipo two months ago; now
they have come to Budapest. We are
about to evacuate Odessa, we are told
that Roumania is on the point of col
lapse, and Poland almost certainly
doomed. We know that both could
have been saved four months ago.
1t seems to me that without sharing |
the panic now existing in Paris, the
American people ought to understand
that there is now at least possibility !
that within the next three months Boil |
shevism will overrun all Europe, save !
perhaps that part patrolled by our own |
that Germany is almost GER
tainly manipulating this Bolshevist on
rush in the hope that when it has ex
nausted the powers of resistance of |
her enemies she will be able to resume |
her attack, having escaped the conse-
luence of her military defeat, that |
despair in the Allied nations over the |
failure of the peace conference to !

Remember that for months and
months the people of the world have
been told that they were moulding
the future as one kneads dough, were
approaching the termination of their
beneficent labors and that Utopia was
at most not more than two or three
blocks away Remember how much
these millions OF people have suf-
fered and how little illusion and con-
fidence was left to them after all,
at the end of four and half years
of agony.
Think then what may be the emo
ton of these people on the first of
May or first of June when the truth
can no longer be concealed that the
Peace Congress at last is licensed by
the governments to announce that
one or two wars are about to COM
mence.
Now, last Of all, what about the
chance Of peace at the hands of the
Paris conference? Within week the
conference of ten has been reduced to
a conference of four, just as the con-
ference of one hundred was reduced
to a conference of ten. Theoretically.
this would lead to the facilitation of
business, but actually, whether you d.
vide nothing by one thousand by ten
or by four the result is nothing, and !

KLINE SCORES
OPPONENTS OF
COUNTY AGENT
Petty Politicians Blamed for
Hampering of Progressive
Farm Activities.

Petty politicians alleged to have
hampered the county agent work Of
Wayne county were scored by Coun-
ty Agent j. c. Kline In his farewell
talk to 100 members Of the Farming
association Saturday afternoon at the
court house.
A membership of 225 was reported
at the meeting as result OF last
weeks drive, and officials are conf
dent that the membership OF the as
ISOLATION will be more than 1000 in
the next few weeks.
The county organization decided to
join the state farmers federation
formed at Indianapolis last week, after
hearing the report Of Arthur Crume
and Theodore Davis, who represented
the Wayne county association.
Back up the man who takes my
place." said Kline. Don't let him be
hampered by the petty politicians, OF
whom there are several around the
court house.
County Officers Blamed.
1.-THE work of this office Is being
run by men who shouldn't have any
thing to say about it. They are not
In sympathy with the farmers. The
whole trouble here has been that the
ested in 1t. II the control Of the Of
flee were in the hands Of the live pro-
gressive farmers of the county there
would be no trouble at ALL"
Unnamed county officers, and the
county board Of education were at the
bottom of the trouble, Kline said. He
said there was no hint of trouble un-
til January 1, when, Just after meet
ing of the county board, the report
was circulated that his office had cost
the county between $1,000 and $4,000.
His stenographer was then taken
away, and he was notified that his ap-
preparation for next year would be
only $3.50, he said, but the county
board and the commissioners were
shown that the appropriation was fix
ed by law at $1,000.
Satisfied With Work.
Difficulty he had had in getting his
salary was sketched by Kline. He
said one county officer had persist
emily refused to sign receipts for Pur-
due money, and had told Kline that
he would sign receipts until Kline left,
and that he would not sign more after
that, and that he would show Purdue
University Wayne county was just as
big as the university was.
Kline thanked the members of the
farming association for the way in
which they had backed him up, and
said he believed the progressive far
mers were in favor of the office. He
expressed himself as very well salts
fled with the work of the year.
A general discussion. during which
charges were made that the county
board of education was unfavorable to
the county agent, took place after
Kline's talk. The board is waiting for
Purdue University to recommend a !
man, township trustee said.
