that many employees of the commission are

The Federal Trade Commission has de-
manded that the charges, being specific, be

that the commission members take this matter
too seriously They should consider the source
Of the charges.
Most of us know Sherman and Watson
from their public utterances. They are the
opposite of statesmen The present writer
does not know them personally but he knows
records and something about the personal rep
utaton of the Indiana senator. He does know
personally the two principal members Of the
Federal Trade Commission-Vict Murdock

Some cynic has insinuated that
women won't stand by their sex in
politics. Now, let's see if they will
vote for Mrs. Anna Laskey for con
gressional nomination in the Fifth dis
trict, October 49, Several young and
handsome men are running says The

Anna was among the also rams. She
started, but "blowed" before she reach
ed the quarter Sprinting is not in her
repertoire skirts are handicap she
could not overcome. Few women voted
in the primary, according to reports
from the several counties, and few Of
these voted for Mrs. Laskey, It seems,
as her total vote would not fill an or

to make the race-the first woman to
seek federal office in Oklahoma, ana
we doff our hat to her, just the same.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL.
Thousands Have Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub.
stitute for calomel-are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver is
almost instantaneous. These little olive.
colored tablets are the result of Dr.
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense Of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
80 do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
1ake calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive
Tablets take its place.
Headaches, "dullness" and that law
feeling come from constipation and a
dlsordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when Won feel 'Hoo,,"ard.

3 Acres and a Cow

Some years ago one of Joseph
Chamberlain's lieuteDants in the
British Parliament enunciated the
belief that every male inhabitant-
in the United Kingdom was entitled
to three acres and a COW.
The saying created much ridicule.
from those who have, and consider
able mutteriDgs from those who.
have not. But in principle it was a.
true saying; it is an old saying; it is
the fundamental basis of all ma
terial prosperity.
Years before that the Incas i'm
ancient Peru were saying that every
citizen must have his piece of land
and must produce his subsistence.
from it.
Years before that in Europe the,
tribes. ancestors of the present ma
tionalities, were basing their
group.politics on individual land
holdings.
Years before that and in a time
so din that history is only a vague
chronicle, each man was required
to develop and hold a piece of
land.
Three acres aud COW! Not lit
eral, of course. One man wants.
only one acre. another five; one man
wants chickens. not COWS. another
neither. But the principle is unde-
niable. from the recorded time Of
man to this day; that each man
should have his figurative three
acres and COW" wherewith to con-
tribute something, at least, to the
subsistence of himself and his.
All men cannot make bread, for
the worlds industries demand labor;
all men cannot make machines, for
the worlds children demand bread
but each man can and should have
the plot of ground wherein he
alone is master, from the bowels Of
the earth to the heavens above
him. as the symbol of his citizen
ship, the visible badge of his iude-.
pendence and the birthright of his
labor.

City Men on Farms

Many city business men cherish
the dream of some day owning a
farm. A lot of them try it Some
of them make good. The majority
find conditions different from what
they expected and get tired of it
Any man who has brains and will
work can make living at farming.
The main question is whether he
really likes country life or not. The
country towns welcome the coming
of city people with their brightness
and experience of business. Bbt
they hate to see people take up a
line OF work that.they don't under
stand and in which they consequent.
ly make a failure. The city man
who contemplates owning a farm
would often do better to lease one
for a year and try it out.

A town always prospers best
when the people are all united to
help one another. When merchants
are willing to live and let live;
when every business man shows
his faith in the city or town in
which he lives by sticking to and
b elping all in his power legitimate
enterprises in the town, and follow
ing the invariable rule of getting
everything he needs at home. even
though he can temporarily do better
elsewhere. There is the greatest
possible strength in union of senti.
ment and union of action. If there
is any circumstance in the WORLD
where reciprocity is valuable it i:
at home. The merchant is depend
ant on the farmer, the farmer upon
the merchant and mechanic. There
is no such thing as success withou
cooperation and where this exist:
there is the greatest prosperity.
