ALL LIVING THINGS LINKED
Scientists Aver There Is Even Bond
Of Sympathy Between Humanity
and Stone.


II. as scientists tell us, there is a
connecting link between human be-
ings and animals, animals and vege-
tables, and vegetables and minerals,
there is bond of sympathy between
you and stone. Everything becomes
merely matter of degree, with hu-
man beings-in their own estimation
at the top.
great scientist, Sir Jagadis Chan
dra Bose, has just given some aston
ishing facts regarding vegetables, In
which he shows that they have many
of our characteristics, says London
Answers.
The effects OF stimulants on vege-
tables are similar to the effects on ami
mails. Vegetables can also be put
under anesthetics, they can be poi
soned and they are subject to the
death spasm. The latter point has a
special interest for vegetarians. Per-
haps the most astonishing fact is that
vegetable plants possess greater sensi-
bilities than animals, enabling them
to record wireless signals.
When does a vegetable end and an
animal begin? Near the border line is
che common sponge.

On a Change of Menu.

His name is Jimmy, and he is
classed as bad boy in his western
home. Not really bad, perhaps-most-
ly spoiled. Among other bad habits
he has picked up that of excessive
profanity. Last week his father
shipped him to the home Of a we'll
TODD friend here In the hope that
some of the rougher edges might be
rubbed off.

ways had his meals served in the old
fashioned way with everything on the

the city mansion happened to be of
formal sort. AS the meal progressed
Jimmy grew redder and Eedder. Final

doc, Cox. andapalmer. McAdoo and

Adoo, Cox and Palmer. McAdoo and
Palmer were administration men, the
former being a son-in-law of Mr..
Wilson. The contest was in truth
between Cox and MeAdoo for Palmer
never was seriously considered. His
record was not Inspiring and he came
from state even more hopelessly re-
publican than Iowa.
In weighing these men-Cox and
McAdoo-the delegates figured II
this way: If McAdoo is nominated
he will be charged directly with all
the sins of omission and commission
of the Wilson administration. The
terms Grown prince" and Wilson
dynasty" will be used and they will
be effective. He has strength with
the railroad vote but this strength
was gained in way that would neu-
tralize itself in the opposite direc-
ton. Finally. McAdoo was opposed
by Tammany and he could not with
this opposition hope to carry New
York in November.
On the other side, as these dele
gates saw the picture, if Cox is NOM
mated he will be free from criticism

able to start in the race without the
enormous weight of antipathy on his
shoulders which has accumulated in
the country against Wilson. He has
been elected governor of Ohio and he
will contest with Harding for that
state. Tammany is pleased with
Cox and this gives him a chance for
New York. Taggart of Indiana is
for him and this may give him a
chance in that state.
AS a practical political PROPOSE
ton, therefore, it appears from this
distnace that the delegates at San
Francisco worked out the problems
before them in a manner best calcu-
lated to put them into the campaign
with the greatest possible chance of
winning. In other words, they
brought their party into the cam
paign in as good condition for the
race as it was possible to make il un-
der the circumstances.
AS time passes 1t is clear that the
republicans at Chicago made no mis-
takes. They too, worked out the
best possible solution of their prob
lens. Harding is working under no
material handicaps.
Under these circumstances we
should now proceed with a discus
sion of the issues and the candidates
on a high plane of American good
will and fair play. Harding and
Cox are high types of American cit
izenship. So are a great majority Of
their supporters. In dealing with
each other in these matters we
should constantly keep these facts in
mind.

MUCH BOOZE Is TAKEN
State Officer and Sheriff Wilson
Made Big Haul Last Saturday

The Audubon county liquor in
dustry suffered a setback on the eve
of Independence day, when Federal
Officer Sumner Knox of the office of
Prohibition Commissioner Thomas
Maloney. with Sheriff B. F. Wilson,
his deputy, ]. G. Boyer and Mayor
Middleton of Coon Rapids made
series of raids through the northern
part of Audubon county and the
southern part of Carroll county last
Saturday.
Two hundred gallons of mash;
worm and barrel of still; booze,
sugar and syrup; eleven gallons of
finished whisky; cracked corn, were
found on the U. s. Beebee farm, IA
miles north of Audubon.
Thirty gallons of mash, two and a
half gallons of finished whisky, and
still were located on the Finely
Burger farm, 10 miles northeast of
Audubon.
One hundred and forty gallons of
mash, seven gallons OF finished whis-
ky, thirty-fve quarts of beer were
located on the Mike Staugel farm.
eleven miles northeast of Audubon.
Quart of "moonshine' whisky and
quantity of dandelion wine were
located in the ice box of the soft
dring parlor at Dedham.
Officer Knox took two of the stills
to Council Bluffs, along with Staugel
and Burger. Beebee and the Ded-
ham proprietors are in the FIT. Dodge
district and their cases were turned
over to the authorities there. Knox
arranged with the authorities in Au-
dubon to keep the stuff he didn't
take, so that both the state and fed
eral officers can use it for evidence.
Knox says the still at the Burger
place was just being warmed up and
Mrs. Burger was leaving the building
in which 1t was located when the Of
ficiers came. Burger was blowing
corn.
Beebee had very appealing hard
luck story of domestic trouble, loss
of cattle and financial difficulties by
which he attempts to justify his
booze manufacture, Knox says, al

DEMOCRATS USE STRATEGY
Nominate Candidate for President
After Hard Fought Battle

Most of the signs of the times
this year point to republican vic
tory. The American people like an
occasional change. Grievances
against the democrats have been ac-
cumulating for eight years. The re-
publicans after eight years are hun
cry and harmonious. Their old
differences have disappeared. 1t is
these general conditions which sup
port this theory of the political prog
nosticator who sees a republican vic
tory in November.
But these general considerations
do not blind us to the fact that the
democrats in their national conven-
ton used good strategy in naming
their candidate for president. Out
of the field of candidates, the contest
narrowed down to three men, Nc

pendable source and in imense guam

pended upon to do all this. ~
The largest men and institutions in
the oil fraternity have their eyes up
on the almost inexhaustible deposits
of oil shale as the future, tangible
source of petroleum for the U. S. and
are now backing their judgment
along this line by large investments
in commercial oil shale eduction
plants.

itself of one Cassius M. Mahan, who
came to that town last fall as the
representative of a Milwaukee piano
factory, and who has been trying to
establish himself in the graces of

young women. Relatives and
friends took the trouble to look up
his credentials, and Marshal Bill
ingsley was sent to Wisconsin. He
found that the fellow has wife in
Madison, who is obliged TO make

trouble over women. He was con-
fronted with the facts and advised
to leave town, which he did, saving
himself coat of tar and feathers.

JUDGE A. C. HOPPMANN of the super
ior court has spoken some wholesome
words of admonition and advice to par
ents. The recent wave of juvenile
crime in Madison, leading to the con-
viction of a couple of youngsters, has
impressed the judge with the necessity
of making a statement to the public.
He lays much of the blame at the door
of the parents who allow their children
liberties that they can not use wisely.
Gust as long as parents will not take
more interest in the welfare of their
children by knowing at all times where
they are, and what they are doing, just
so long will we have the juvenile court
room crowded with the sad spectacle
of parents with broken hearts witness
ing their children torn away from an
otherwise good home, and taken to
state reformatory institutions. | know
of no good that boys and girls can learn
out of the house after nine o'clock at
night, unless properly chaperoned, "
says the judge. The cooperation of
the homes and the schools in regulat-
ing the duties and pleasures of the
children and young folks so as to guard
them against habits of late hours away
from the home, and late hours in gen.
eral, would make for them safety.
The home must certainly provide
such an atmosphere for the children
that they look to it as the proper CEN
ter for their pleasures.

reasons for this warning he states that
eve must not forget that there are

all drawing interest. There is also
deficit in the treasury of nearly four
billion dollars" He urges economy

WHILE it is true that the cities, es-
pecially the manufacturing centers, Of
fer unusual opportunities for earning
high wages, and that for this reason a
large number of men and women who
work for wages flock to these centers,
it is, nevertheless, state of affairs
that BODIES no good for the country and
its welfare. The reduction in farm
labor means a reduction in the produc-
ton of the food supply that the city
folks depend upon for their living. The
high wages will do the wage Garner no
good if his board and other necessities
keep moving up in price faster than
the wages do. 1t would be sounder
economy, especially at time of short
age of all human needs, to turn all
hands available to till the soil and pro-
duce raw materials of all descriptions.
That is the only way to catch up on the
present shortage in all fields. The
manufacturer is calling for raw mater
ial. The raw material does not ap-
pear by calling for it. The hands to
produce it must be provided. 1t 1t
were an imperative patriotic duty to
produce during the war, it is more so
now. The effects of the war are more
keenly felt today, both in Europe and
in this country, than during the pro-
gress of the war. Moreover, the pay
offered by farmers for labor is, when
everything is taken into account, as
high, if not higher, than the wages
paid in the city. Fifty to one hundred
dollars a month with board and lodging
on the farm will net the laborer more
every month than one hundred to one
hundred and fifty would net him in the
city. A laborer is worthy of his hire
wherever he is when doing honest
work, and a farm laborer is just now
more worthy of his hire than any other
class of laborers, and if the need of the
service does not appeal to him, surely
the wages offered this year should.
The wages call to the worthy man.

REQUIEsCAT in pace The U. S.
senate has, at least for the present, so
disposed of the peace treaty and league
of nations covenant. May it rest in
peace! The president took all the re-
sponsibility for the fathering of it; the
senate refuses to adopt child that it
did not sponsor; it is returned to the
father to do with it as he thinks best9
In the rejection of the league of nations
pact in the form it has now, no regrets
are felt by the nations, parties to it;
but that the idea itself should meet
with such fate, is one of the most
keenly felt disappointments the world
has had as a result of this war; and the
fact that all circumstances attending
the practical workings of the covenant
indicate that the world is not yet ready
for such measure, does not lessen the
disappointment of all those who saw in
the league a new hope for mankind.
The league as political measure is
dead; there is no doubt about that;
dead, because it came into being as
mechanical cOntriYAnce, sOulless and
spiritless, wax figure void of any or
gan. A league of nations to live must
be organic, a product of the life of
mankind and the life of nations, not
only politically, but socially, economic
ally and spiritually. The fullness of
time for the birth of such child is not
yet in. 1t will come, but generations
may come and go, anticipating and
hoping for it, before the eyes of man.
kind are permitted to rest upon its
form of loneliness, goodness and glory.
And when that day is here, it may ap-

which no mortal mind has ever con-
ceived, and as the result of powers be-
yond the control of mortal hand.
