Getting Rid of Colds

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of cold is to take Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No meter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man Of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed I'M
til fully recovered. It is better to
stay in bed three days at tho start
than three weeks later on. Obtainable
everywhere. (adv.)

AGRICULTURAL STUDENTS
CAN TEST SEED CORN

Approaching the Importance of
testing seed corn, agricultural classes
in the schools of Chillicothe, Chula,
Utica, Ludlow, Mooresville, Wheeling,
and Dawn, in Livingston county, were
trained and then aided in the testing
of 584,360 ears of seed corn last year,
under the direction of the county farm
bureau. The principals of the schools
or the agricultural teachers supervis-
ed the work.
The goal of the seed testing cam
paign was reached successfully; no.
body was turned away who brought
seed corn to have it tested. More
than 200 farmers did part or all of
their on testing by themselves, with
the help of their children or some of
the other students. Aside from the
experience students received in this
work, it furnished them a means Of
earning some extra money. A rcgu-
lar fee of from 10c to 15c an hour was
paid by the farmers to the students

NOT TO AID KOlCHAK
Admiral Now Menaced by $780,
600 Bolsheviki, and
Faces Disaster.
Special Wireless Despcfch to TIE Sun.


LONDON. July 2s.--By his admission
In the House of Commons that the Brit
ish venture into Russia has been a COM
plete failure. and that all classes OF Brit
ish troops would be withdrawn, Winston
Spencer Churchill. Secretary of War.
once more laid himself open TO attack
by newspapers OF all shades OF political
ideas.
The Russian venture is compared to
the Inflated Gallipoii expedition, and
while Churchill blames Admiral Kolchak
for failure to carry out the plans, there
by disrupting the British campaign, II
Is generally believed that the whole eff
fort has been ill-adviscd since Its incep-
tion and that Furthermore II Is certain
to bring disaster to Gen. Denikine and
Admiral Kolchak. along with the Amer
lean and japanese troops supporting
them, for when the British abandon the
Archangel region this action will permit
the Bolsheviki to turn their whole force
against those remaining.
Churchill declared that he had hoped
that the British would be able to give
assistance to Kolchak. but this Is now
impossible. owing to the retirement of
the White Army. Pointing out the posi-
ton now occupied by Kolchak, he de-
clared that the Russian commander now
Is menaced by force of 100000 Boil
shevists, and that II DenilSine IL unable
to relieve the pressure there is a great
possibility that he with the supporting
Americans, may meet disaster.

not be single British soldier in Rus
sia. "But on the other hand we are con-
tinuins powerful contribution OF muni-
lions and considering the question Of
economic aid"
The Minister declared he thought Il
would be fatal mistake to ignore the
possibility Of cooperation between hos
tile Russia and revensefui Germany OF
to suppose that our victory and Euro.
pean affairs can be left to take care Of
themselves"
Col Churchill concluded his address
with a warning against agitators and
for direct action. He declared the
things tho agitators had attacked, like
would be obsolete.
The Government had anxious moments
in the House of Lords tonight during
the debate on the transport bill. which
already had encountered fierce opposi-
ton In the House of Commons. where
It was considerably amended. The Mar
quis of Salisbury moved that the bill be
divided into two bills, one dealing with
railways, waterways and the like and
the other with tramways, road traffic,
harbors and docks.
This motion was strongly opposed by
the Government, and during the debate.
which turned largely on the question Of
naturalization. David Lloyd George, the
Prime Minister, listened attentively from
the rail fronting the throne. and was in
earnest consultation with Earl Curzon Of
Kedleston, Government leader In the
House Sir Eric Geddes, Minister with
out portfolio, and Others.
After considerable debate the motion
of the Marquis of Salisbury. which. II
1t had been carried, would have led to
a serious dispute between the House OF
Lords and the House of Commons. was
rejected.

Churchill, Secretary OF war, explain the
Governments Russian policy. which the
Liberals and Labor Unionists have been
strongly attacking recently.
TT would be a great mistake to con-
denim the policy Of the allied Powers in
regard TO this movement" said Col.
Churchill. 'It was as an essential war
measure IN the war against Germany
that the Allies decided TO occupy Arch
angel and Murmansk. 1t has achieved
greater results than were hoped for. even
II II did not achieve all the results ex-
pected at the time we landed at Arch
angel"
When the Allies landed at Archangel.
Col. Churchill continued. German d.
visions were passing from the eastern to
the western front at the rate Of six n
month, and that movement was stopped.
Early In march the Cabinet decided that
Archangel and Murmansk should be
evacuated before another winter set In,
and directed the War ONCE to act az
cordingiy and also to send whatever re-
endorsements that might be necessary
for safeguarding the withdrawal. Fur
Their, the Minister said. due regard had
to be paid to the obligations contracted
toward the population and the local
Russian Government and the army
which had been called into being. The
widest latitude was given the military
TO execute this policy, and It's decision
was communicated to the Russian lead
ers. including Admiral Kolchak.
1T may seem easy for those at home.r
Col. Churchill continued, ito say, Let
us get out let us cut our loss,' but to
those on the spot It was a matter Of
great and painful difficulty to sever ties
and quit the scene. had earnestly
hoped and trusted It would be po sslble
for the local North Russian Government
to have a separate line after our depar-
ture, but after the requirement imposed
on Admiral Kolchak, do not feel that
we can indulge In that hope any longer"
Speaking on the general situation, Col.
Churchill said Admiral Kolchak's and
Gen. Denekine's armies hardly existed a
year ago. but that now they were consid-
cradle In numbers and were engaging
5000 Bolsheviki, which was more than
two-thirds of their military force. He
added that Kolchak was continually re-
treating. but that Denekine was making
formidable advances and that the mill
tary question being decided was whether
Deneltine could continue to advance 60
as to take part of the pressure from Kol-
chalk. or whether Kolchak could recover
and advance to Denekine. The Bolshe-
Wiki forces which Kolchak otherwise
would be attacking would be attacking
new weak states with which other Boil
sheviki engaged, the Minister said.
Col. Churchill commended that failure
to support Kolchak and Denekine would
have allowed the Bolsheviki to grow in
strength, which would have fatally de-
ranged the balance in Europe, stultified
the League of Nations at the outset and
developed a formidable situation. He
added that In few months there would
