MEETS WITH FAVOR
HIS EXPERIENCE LABOR QUESTION AND WIDE KNOW
LEDGE OF FINAN CE AND BUSINESS
f~@ BIZ ASSET.
No FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT YET MADE

~hinotor. Oct. 31.-Though
,aY-in-law Of President Wilson
and having been IN the President s
cabinet and one Of his closest ad-
yi>ors while in the administration
is little bar to the prospects OF
William Giegs McAdoo III his as
Dirations for the nomination for
President Of the United States
which takes place next June.
The outstanding endorsement Of
his Candidacy, according to many,
is his superior handling Of the
treasury department, the four lib
erty drives and. more than all else,
the united railways system unde:
the government.
If there is a man who has done
bic things it is McAdOO.
No man knows labor difficulties
more than McAdoo.
Few could have succeeded in
the liberty loan, and he, all
through the troublous war times
showed himself master Of fl
nance. T T
Because Of these attainments,
not because he is a favored son. he
stands out pre-eminently over all
other aspirants for the greatest
office Of the greatest country on
'atrh.
The future holds difficulties i'm
measurable and only a master
whose personal knowledge Of la
Dor and finance can hope to steer
The ship OF state through tht
troH5lous waters that face US
therefore it is that his announce
ment comes in the nick Of time tt
7S>1a@e the factions that every
WheGe seems to exist. This is tht
opinion freely expressed in dem
ocratlc circles today.

.BELCIANS NOT READY To
FORGIVE AND FORGET"

Brussels, Oct. 31.-Although
it is now many months since
peace was signed, there are indi-
cations each day in Brussels and
elsewhere that the Belgians are
not vet ready to forgive and
forget the German invasion and
occupation. There is a demand
that the German words on the
numerous German passenger
cars which one sees on Belgian
lines be changed and replaced
by French.
German traitors are still being
tried while business men are up
in arms against Belgians who
furnished the enemy with goods
during the occupation. The gov
ernment leeds resources and it is
proposed to tax these unpatriotic
persons 80 to 40 per cent Of the
amounts involved in the provis-
| ioning Of the late enemy. These
business men who have address
cd a formal letter to the govern
ment also say that these persons
whom they characterize as
, "traitors'' are also receiving
gOvrnment contracts and they
want a stop put to it. Some Of the
socialistministers also are being
attacked in the press for their
unenergetic attitude toward the
Germans. The electoral campaign
: is Oh and some Of these ministers
are seeking reelection.
A law is being urged to deprive
Of civil rights all persons who
dealt with the enemy. These are
only a few instances Of which
there are many showing the state
Of mind Of the Belgians.

$500, ,0O0 Gallons
 of Whiskey Held

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug, 14.-The large amount of whiskey stored in the four government warehouses in Indiana, offers problem for Peter J. Kruyer, collector of internal reve- nue, who is in charge of the con- solidated districts of the state.
 Government bounded warehouses contain approximately 3,5o0,000 gall Ions of whiskey which it is impos- sible to transport by common carrier except for medicinal, sacramental, or experimental purposes in compli- ance with the national prohibition law, and as consequence it cannot be shipped to other states where possession of liquor is not illegal, nor can it be sold in Indiana, according to the collector. 4
 As a result the government is con- pelled to keep watchmen at the warehouses day and night and the distillers also are compelled to help police the warehouse and maintain a force of inspectors to watch for leakage, as the owner must pay the regular beverage tax of $6.40 gal lon for all that is lost The lost liquor is technically considered to have been consumed.

Alkali I'm Soap
 Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best Most soaps and prepared snan- poos contain too much alkaii. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins 1t. =,

 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub t in. It makes an abundance of rich. creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt. dries quickly and evenly. and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. ..

International Labor
 Head Liked Here

New York, Aug. 14.-The election of William A. Appleton as president of the International Federation of Trade Unions at the recent congress of that federation in Amsterdam is characterized as hopeful sign, by the American Alliance for Labor and Democracy in a statement issued here. MT. Appleton is described in this statement as constructive, pro- gressive and democratic.
 For years, says the Alliance, Mir. Appleton has been secretary of the General Federation of Trade Unions in England. In 1917 he visited the United States as head of delegation representing the General Federation of Trade Unions. Pointing out that MT. Appleton was nominated by Samuel Gompers to head the Inter national labor movement, the Ali ance statement adds:
 "Mr. Appleton always has been a staunch friend of the American Fed eration of Labor and an arden ad- mirer of it's polices and achievements. More than any other European leader of labor, he thinks in accord with Samuel Gompers. During the war MT. Appleton was tireless in his work for victory"

ADVERTISING COMMENT
(BY J. w ANDREW)

In view of the unusually efficient nature of the daily newspapers as an advertising medium both large and
 small users of space are daily grow ine in number-in fact-natlonal ln- stitutions which heretofore had looK- ed upon the newspapers columns as a medium suitable only to the local mer- chant are now awaking to the fact that immense business will result fro ma judicious use ofthe space al- loted to advertising.
 "This new method, National News
 paper Advertising, that made the United States war-activltles promo ton SO successful, says Mr. Vim. Ii.
 Rankin, president, the Wm. H. Ran
 kin company, of New York, is now be- ing put into use for commercial pur- poses. In the city of Chicago there is now running Build Now cam
 paign-a campaign of full-page ad- vertising in every daily newspaper in the city of Chicago, backed up by consistent smaller advertising copy"
 ..In less than thirty days after the campaign commenced an item appear in the newspapers showing that dur ing the month of April thsre had been more building permits issued than ln any other month during the past five years"
 Not only in Chicago but in a large
 number of other cities The Chamber of Commerce and the Building Assc- citations are resorting to the same successful methods, even down to the
 smallest of towns and is evidence ab- solute that the daily newspaper has taken it's rightful place as the fore
 most advertising medium of the great number of media.
 1 And if newspaper advertising will accomplish such wonderful results in
 this particular business it will accom-
 plish equally as good results for you. providing, some thought and careful
 attention is given to the preparation
 and the placing of your advertiinc copy.

PEACE BASIS NEEDED.

A compromise peace league of ma. tions ratified at an early date is bet ter than a league without reserva- tions, the ratification of which would be delayed for months.
 We are on a war footing and we can not get back to a peace footing until the peace treaty and the league with which it is interwoven are fin ally approved.
 Then we can turn with better hopes of success to the alleviation of con- ditions which are making life vex- ing problem in this country.
 President Wilson has said that little can be done in the fight on the high cost of living until peace is ratified; he has declared that little can be done to adjust labor troubles until the era of peace in reality has dawned.
 The amendments offered by the seven Republican senators which probably will be read into the coven ant do not represent the wishes of she extremists among the leagues opponents. They were proposed by senator's who were for the general rlan of league of nations, and they Will make the covenant an article rHE

GAR LOAD OF ANGORA
 GOATS BROUGHT HERE

Little Rock, Aug. Estate Im- migration Agent John c. Small has received report from Winslow of an unusual sight there last week when six cars of Angora goats were un- loaded at the depot of the summer resort. The goats were brought from Texas by a farmer of that section who expects to raise them on large scale. The report does not state whether advance information of the goats ar rival was given, or if the summer re- sidents were attracted by the unusual perfumery arising on the mountains side. g
 This is the first shipment. into Ar kansas under the regime of Mir. Small as state immigration agent. There were S65 goats in the shipment and the streets about the depot were fill ed with the capering animals.

UNDERSTANDING WITH
 ENGLAND.

Nothing is to be more desired than better understanding between Eng land and the United States, and it is probable that all Anglo o-American af- fairs will be adjusted through the coming to this country of the Wis count Grey, the new British tempo rary minister.
 Since the war began, many things have arisen affecting the two na- tions which have not been properly sets.ed, and those who would have us believe that England is natural enemy of the United States, have seized upon this situation to em- barass the American government in it's dealings with England and as an ally of England.
 First of all we have complicated financial situation which must be cleared up.
 Again there are several treaties between the two nations which were drawn many years ago and which must be re-drafted in order to be made applicable to the present times.
 Thirdly there is matter of claims against the British government for interruption of American commerce and interference with the American mails which still is technically open.
 On this latter question those who would have the United States aligned against Great Britain have seized with great avidity. It has been made the basis for many attempts ito es- trange the peoples of the two nations, and a proper settlement of it is much to be desired
 It probably will be necessary in the near future for America and Eng land to work in close cooperation in most of the problems which will af- feet the nations of the world This work can be done much more effec- lively if there are no issues in doubt between the two nations, and if Wis count Grey and Mir. Lansing succeed in satisfactorily adjusting all prob lems between ourselves and the Brit ish government, there can be no is- sues in noubt. The American junk CTS" who have sought to disturb our relations with England then would have only the old time-worn preju- dice on which to rely in stirring up Anti-British feeling, and this preju- dice is about exhausted.
