! UNFAIR CRITICISM.

Republicans are attempting /,
make capital out of the attitude o. the
FEDERAL reserve bank ON advances &c
cotton growers. A good deal Of nm
fair and unwarranted criticism is be
ing leveled against the administra
ton because Of the attitude Of the
reserve bank on lending money for
holding cotton.
But II republican administration
was In power the attitude would be
the same. Every Intelligent banker
must admit, regardless of politics,
that'the attitude OF tho head Of the
system Is sound. President Harding,
Of the board. says: THE federal 70

ing money to farmers in order that
they may hold their crops for higher
prices. HAg0J ,y .a EHs I"
The Herald recently stated thai
the effort of certain class of farm.
ers to extend credit in order that
they might hold products for hisher
prices was short sighted and conld
not result In any good. It is easy 10
see that all values are coming lown.
There is no hope of higher prices Tor
any farm products in the near future.
Tile farmer must recoup his losses
through the decline in prices Of the
articles that be must buy. The conn.
Try Is already suffering from too much
imitation OF currency and credits. The
effort OF the reserve system to debate
credits is in the public interests.
The federal system ought not 10
discriminate In extending credits be
tween any legitimate and necessary
lines, of business. Many merchants
are going to lose and lose heavily be.
cause of the slump In prices, but II
would be .shortsightcd and invite dis. |
aster If they persist In holding goods
and extending their credit rather than
take the loss now. The farmers of
Maury county are going to lose on |
their corn but it is better to take the
loss now than TO still further involve
themselves in debt, pay interest, suffer
loss for shrinkage, rats and weyfl |
Tor another year and have no assur.
anee at the end of that time the price
will be any higher than it is now.

Film is the basis Of tartar. 1t is the source Of dis

In brushing teeth you leave Shiny film. You can
feel it with your tongue, It cings 70 teeth enters
crevices and stays. Your tooth paste cannot dis
solve it. Most Doth troubles are now traced to that
clinging film.
That film is what dscolors-not the teeth It holds
food substance which ferments and forms acid. Ii

decay.
Millions of germs breed in it. They, with tartar.
are the chief cause of pyorrhsa. So the one great

Dental science after years of searching has found
way to do that For home use the way is now

Wrestling Game
Is in No Danger
OF Losing Hold
Recent Mat Contests in New
York CityDemonstrate That
Grapplers Will Occupy Part
Of Spotlight This Winter.

New York, Dec. 1l.-Wrestl,ng,
Judging by the recent affair at the
Seventy-first Regiment Armory, is
in no danger of being eclipsed, de-
spite the fact that the game this fall
has the opposition Of legalized box
ing as counter ATTRACTION. Under
conditions decidedly unfavorable for
successful opening, the result was
just one more indication that New
York town has gone sport mad.
Notwithstanding that the night
was marked by a continuous down.
pour OF rain, that six-day bike
grind was on, and. in addition. that
it was a holiday week with Benny
Leonard also making his appearance
at Madison Square Garden, the arm
ory was taxed almost to its capacity
and the enthusiasm was just as
marked as ever. Promoter Curley
had every reason to wear his largest
smile. Women were we'll represented
and it was apparent that they are tar
more interested in wrestling than
glove contests. Evidently wrestling
has its own special clientele and can,
hold its admirers despite boxing or
any of the other sports.
What equalled the Le,ais-Zbyszko
event was the appearance OF Joe
Stecher, heavyweight champion q
the world, who methodically demon
strated to one Leon O'Donnell of
France, in II minutes and 40 Sec
onds, through the medium of an arm
lock and scissors hold, just why he
is the heavyweight catch-as-catch-
can champion of the wrestling world.
The Nebraska Farmer Boy" dis
played his cool, deliberate style OF
going about the task of throwing
his opponent, and, after toying with
him as cat would mouse. he wound
his famous scissors hold around the.
body of the Frenchman with an
Irish name, then applied an arm
hold the referee, DR.. Roller tapped
the Farmer Boy" on the back pro-
claiming him the victor.
In winning from Zbyszko the KEN
tuckian earned the right to be the
next opponent to wrestle Joe Stecher
for the heavyweight catch-as-catch-
can championship of the world, The
contest will be staged in the same
structure this month. ~
