Francis Wilson. United States at
torney in Missouri, a Wilson ap-
pointee and ardent advocate of the
league of nations, for which he
made numerous addresses in his
State, urged the national commit
tee to seat Mr.. Reed. Mr.. Wilson
said he could not believe a Demo-
cratic convention would deny a seat
to a man solely because he dared to
have and express his personal views
and principles. He recalled that
President Wilson never had hesitat-
ed to make speaking tours to pre-
sent his views to the American peo-
pie, and the speaker inquired why a
similar right should be denied any
other man. Mr.. Wilson appealed to
the committee not to ostracise a
man whose chief offense had been
the courage OF his convictions.

 Both in Minneapolis and St. Paul. crowds lined the downtown sidewalks as the senator and his party passed along in parade line, and wave of cheering swept about him as he stood in his automobile and bowed his acknowledgements. In each of the Twin Cities the nominee shook hands with several hundred at a public re- ception. Stating in carefully measured words his agricultural programme, the candidate declared that. among other things, the nation should encourage cooperative marketing, scientifically study price stabilization, to administer the farm loan act as to reduce tenacy, avoid unnecessary price fixipg, give farmers greater representation in gov ernment, restore railway transporta- ton to its greatest efficiency and re- wise the tariff to protect against un- fair coTn natitioQ

 Temporary relief will do you but little good if you are a vic Itim of itching eruptions, letter, rash, eczema or. other terrify- ling skin disorders. SoCn all the Itching and irritation will break Iout afresh with renewed fury, and you should be convinced that no amount of local treat

blazing sun poured down on him and
 he spoke rapidly, and departing in
 many instances from the form of his,
 manuscript.
 The great appeal for Americanism,
 which brought the loudest applause, was
 made after the nominee had laid his manuscript aside and was driven home (by vigorous gestures. He recounted
 how, on return from Europe some
 years ago, his emotions had been aroused
 at the sight of poverty stricken immi
 grants issuing from under docks and
 how stranger had told him mot to worry about these people"
 He said it was the greatest day of
 their lives" said Senator Harding, and said he knew because he himself had come over that way six years before. And that, my fellow countrymen, is the story of America-a land of guaranteed freedom and opportunity. And I want it to go on that way, preserving its indc- pendence and pointing the way to the highest civilization for the world. Besides his address at the race track, the candidate made several short talks
 during his visit of four hours to the far grounds. In the main they were merely | messages of greetings to crowds that called on him for a word, putin a speech to boys who had won prices for crop raising he took occasion to reply to crit , lClSm or the senate as TlCn Inan . club Many of the present members of that body he said, had won their way forward by merit from the lowliest be- ginnings.
 Many departments of the fair were visited by Senator and Mrs. Harding, but they stopped at most of the exhibits only moment to express their admira- tion to those in charge. Everywhere
 Mrs. Harding shook hands and ex-
 changed greetings with those who crowded around, and several times she became separated from the party while she was lingering to talk with newly found acquaintances.
 Both in Minneapolis and St. Paul the candidates party was escorted by a band in parades through the downtown streets. In Minneapolis the senator s public reception was held during the afternoon at the Lincoln Club, where several hundred filed past to shake his hand, and in St. Paul siimlar demon- stration took place in the evening at the state capitol. A reception also was given Mrs. Harding by the women of Minneap- olis.
 Leaving St. Paul late tonight on his special train, the nominee will arrive in Marion Thursday evening.

 There is no indication of yielding either by the union or by the opera tors. The one demands recognition. the other refuses to deal with the union. Apparently all the commission can do is to assemble facts, pass on them and make some recommendations, if the members see fit. There is no present prospect of the commission becoming a real arbitration board.

|Fhe Itching Torture
 of Skin Diseases

It will not be so difficult to rid yourself of skin diseases if you will but realize that these troubles originate in the blood, and if you expect real substan- tial relief you must treat them through the blood. Millions of tiny disease germs find lodg- ment in the blood, where they multiply rapidly and attack some part of the surface of the skin where there can be no re- sistance.
 Realize, then, that you can know no real and genuine relief until these germs are eradicat- ed from your blood.
 S.S.S. has given great satis- faction in the treatment of skin diseases, because it is such a thorough blood purifier. It cleanses the blood of all accu- mutations and thus frees it of the germs that attack the skin.
 Why not use this intelligent method of treatment? Begin today to take S.S.S. and dis card all local treatment which can give nothing but temporary relief. S.S.S. is sold by all druggists.

Bolshevist Army a Mere Mob of
 Dirty Ragmuffins
German Journalist, Visiting the Red Hordes, Says That Only Discipline or Fear of Starvation Could Ac- count for Their Success.

From inc Arkansas Gazette.
 Grajevo, Poland, Aug. 3.-T Today we ] crossed the East Prussian frontier i to Grajevo, where we found three
 regiments of Russian cavalry and front line troops Now that l have seen both sides, my wonder is in-
 creasing how the Russians could have won the war.
 Before going across the line 1 was
 told by Lithunian guards that the Russians were an army of beggars,
 but l did not expect to find Budenny's ! legendary knights, who have blazed the way from the Crimea to Grodno,
 such a ragged, starved, disreputable
 looking crowd as they were.
 One of the cavalrymen was drest in multi while his companion was in uni- 1 form. l saw round hats, hearskin hats (the temperature is about 80 l Fahrenheit), derbIes, and slouch hats, sport clothes, fur coats, and those pe- culiar brimmed caps that the Polish Jews wear.
 saw one British uniform and sev- en Polish hats and uniforms on the first few Russians that l met Sure ly it was nondescript lot, but they had one thing in common--the Red star insignia of the Red army, which each wore on his blouse or caps Dirty and Ragged. The men were dirty and ragged, and the small Cossack horses were not |groomed, but were caked with the mud of thousand miles. saw 300 horses and their riders, but not ore of them was dressed or fitted according to the standard of either side of the war in France. Only rifles and ammunition were in plenty, and one Cossack showed me Japanese carbine and bullets and even a knapsack, proud souvenirs of Bolsheviki Red in Si- beria.
 An iron discipline everywhere pre- vailed. The officers were we'll dressed in uniform. With them was a civil ian commissar who really was super for to the officers and watches them. When the Russians pulled out of Gra- jevo they requisitioned supplies, but they paid in soviet rubles and did not plunder or confiscate anything. Only enc car of flour was broken into.
 In looking over the Russian army l cannot understand what has been urging them from victory to victory turnout the last two years. Perhaps 1t is their discipline. Perhaps it is fear of starvation, if they do not win l know the men feel that they have to conquer new territory in order to ob- tain food because there is none at home. That is why I am doubtful if the army will quit conquering when an armistice is signed and the word is given to return to Russia.
 To Cut of Danzig Corridor.
 This evening l interview officers of the Russian Bolshevik army. They showed me their orders which direct ed them to continue along the East Prussian frontier until they were di- rectly north of Warsaw, thus cutting off the Danzig corridor Hollands out let to the seal

WHY HE WASN'T PROMOTED


 He grumbled.
 He was always behindhand.
 He had no iron in his blood
 He was willing, but unfitted. He didn't believe in himself. His stock excuse was T forgo..n He wasn't ready for the next step He did not put his heart Into his work.
 He learned nothing from his mis. takes.
 He ruined his ability by half doing things.
 He chose his friends from among his interiors.
 He never dared to act on his own judgment.
 He did not think it worth while to learn how.
 Familiarity with slipshod methods paraiyzed his ideal.
 He tried to make bluff" take the place of hard work.
 He thought more of amusements than Of getting on in the world. He didn't learn that the best of his salary was not in his pay Still he wondered why he didn't get on. Chesapeake & Ohio Employees Magazine.
