The man who is careless about his
personal appearance carries a very
great handicap to business success.
The woman who neglects those at
oentions to her face, hands and hair,
that give her the Well-groomed
look, is at a very great disadvan-
tage, when compared with the Wo-
man who is more fastidious about
her personal appearance.
The clear, pink, healthy skin, the
white, we'll brushed teeth will ac-
centuate the beauty of the fairest
face and with the maid Of a pleas
ant smile will make the plain face
radiant and good to look at.

THE FIGHT AGAINST PROFITEER-
ING.
Comes With Same Regularity as The
Rise and Fall Of The Tides.


About once in three months you
can look for some new spasmodic
outburst against the HI. C. of l.. Il
comes with somewhat the same regu-
larity as the rise and fall of the tides
of the ocean, and so far has accomp-
lished about as much. However the
recession of meat prices at the Chit
cago wholesale market was hope
full sign.
The government effort to fight high
costs has so far accomplished little.
The railroad workers however. have
taken sensible action in temporarily
dropping their wage demands, with
the purpose to substitute a program
of effort for reduction of prices. If
the wage earners of the country will
unite to increase production and stop
extravaganza, they can produce such
an increase of commodities that pric-
es will drop automatically.
At Washington Senator Capper of
Kansas made some statements that
have attracted much notice, attacking
the big profits gained by some of the
great corporations. There is much
truth in what he says. 1t is well
known that many of the corporations
have benn making profits of Is to
25 per cent and even higher.
These concerns are not like the
small business, where an apparent
large profit is really no more than a
fair salary for the few men at the
top. These big corporations pay big
salaries, and then on top of that they
distribute millions in dividends to
stock holders, most of whom have
done nothing to warrant this return,
1t adds to the cost of living for every
one and creates bolshevistic spirit.
Limiting these profits by law would
probably do more harm than good
The government, or some central
business authority ought to call the
heads of these big concerns together
and tell them that their policy Il
against the interests of the whole
community, and bound to Greats
trouble.
AS one hears these matters dis.
cussed among the plain people o.
DEBORAH or any other community
there is clearly call for some NOR,
Positive action against this selfish
and hoggish spirit.

TRIED TO KILL son.
Remarkable Tragedy on Farm in
Montgomery County.

Red Oak, Iowa,-.iienry L. Jones,
farmer, has been bound over to the
grand jury on charge Of trying to
Kill his son, William, 81 years old.
3 The boy and his brother trans
ferred their fathers team from a
stall in the barn and put their horses
in the stall.
Enraged, the father charged with
having assaulted the son with club
which the boy took away from him.
Later, ii is alleged, the father shot
his SON
The youth was brought to a ply
stefan in Red Oak who removed the
shot from his back. thighs and legs
and then he was taken to a neigh
bor's home.
He said he supposed the quarrel
ended when he took the club away
from his father and he and his bro
ther went into the field Soon after
he heard his mother call from the
house and saw her motion to him
He mistook her gesture to mean to
approach and as he advanced his
father rushed out with shot gun
Turning, the youth fled but was hi
with the charge OF shot.
The father has lived in the count,
forty years. For sixteen years he
has farmed. He was the victim OF
severe illness recently.
His bond was fixed at s 600.

Government in Earnest About Babies

The government has made studies
Of mothers and babies in both city
and country. In rural areas, repre-
senting 6 states, information was Sc
cured about the confinement care of
the mothers of 297S babies. 1t was
found that only five cases received
prenatal care approaching the min
imum standard of adequate" care
outlined by the Child Welfare Con-
ference, held in Washington, ID. c.,
in May, 1919; and in 80 per cent
Of the cases the mothers reported
having had no prenatal care what
ever.
OF more that $4,000 city babies
studied by the government, and re-
presenting every type of home in
seven cities, more than three-fifths
were born into families where the
family earnings were below the
amount which was at that time the
minimum for providing the bare
necessities of existence. Only one in
ten was in family where the faith
er's earnings reached fair min;-
mum for comfort.
Mothers and babies are the same
in the country and in the city. They
need the same care.
The government, through the pro-
visions of the Sheppard-Towner bill,
would help the farm woman and the
city woman, whether the difficulty
be ignorance, isolation, ill-health,
or low income, by educating her in
maternal and infant hygiene, by
sending out public health nurses, by
providing health centers and by go
ing $3.50 with the states in the
cost of this care.

ue1 TOUT SuICh cpcNuAdOOfo.
Iowa hotels have reaped harvest
from the stock statesmen and PRO
motors" that have filed their Hobbies
and rooms and still crowd them. So
Ear, none except the hotels and the
enterprises" represented by the
stock peddlers and promoters seem
10 have profited. Iowa has suffered
from the invasion Of hoarde seek
ing the savings, liberty bonds, large
profits and accumulations generally
OF the flush times of the war. And
the hoarde found what is sought aid
has got away with it-so far.
Litigation instituted here and there
in Iowa is the forerunner OF more TO
come. The easy marks are beginning
TO feel the steel beneath the velvet
hand of paper profits-dividends paid
out of the principal; fictitious
market created only for the purpose
of deceit; kilograms of big advances
IN land; veins uncovered in mines;
gushers with their thousands of bar
reds per day; all have served their
purpose and an unwelcome awaken
ing is due. Notes are easily signed,
are readily discounted, and payday
arrives long in advance of the an
ticipated profits which the glib
Iongued promoter, working for his
big per cent, promised would care foS
the obligation before maturity
The savings of many months van
ish-all because in moment of
weakness the person being worked"
made few scratches with his pen
on scrap Of paper"
A lot could be written against the
fountain pen. 1t is more easily car
ried than an automatic, and requires
less courage to use.
There are two degrees of coward
ice-one is the business man who
will remain silent when defrauded
The average ICON" man always figur-
es that his victim will not "squeal, -
for few have the moral courage toad
vertise the fact that they have been
jobbed, Notwithstanding that, if they
had resented the defrauding, their
neighbors might have been saved
The lowest degree of all, however
is the local citizen who pretends to
invest in the enterprise-who exhib,
it's his check to his friends who trust
him, as evidence of his confidence in
the enterprise-but who tears up the
check and shares the loot with his
partner, the promoter.
After all, what real chance does the
average citizen stand against the
manipulations Of these promoters of
biue-sky, climate. mines and Oil?
They are we'll organized, and have
a complete sucker list of every
county. They know the financial
worth and frailties of their victims.
They keep as far as possible within
the law" But, worse than all this,
they know the so called prominent
citizens with whom they can form
an alliance for the purpose of work
ing the rest.
The reports Of suits started in an
effort to obtain restitution are the
First drops in a shower. Litigation,
loss, suicide and tragedy follow peri
ods of extravaganza, bunko specula-
zion and foolish Investment
The hardest lesson to learn is bust
ness caution, the hardest burden to
bear is prosperity Each generation
seems to insist on paying dearly for
experience.

JUDSONIA FARMER IS
 WIZARD WITH STUDS
Gets 522 Bushels Off One Acre
 Recognized as Expert

Searcy, Dec. 1O.-Loius Hu- bach, of Judsonia, an unpre- tentious, but highly successful farmer, who enjoys the repu- tation of being a plant wizard, raised 10000 pounds, or 333 1-3 bushels, of Irish potatoes on one acre of ground. The potatoes were planted in the spring on land from which he had cut a crop of oats sown the previous winter. The soil was enriched with barn. yard fertilizer and thoroughly prepared. Part of this crop was sold at from $3 to $4 a bushel. He planted a second crop and dug 189 bushels, making this one acre produce in one year 522 1-3 bushels.
 MT. Hubach and his brother, Martin, have a surplus of 800 bushels of second crop Bliss Triumph Irish potatoes, which are safely stored and will be kept until market is found that will pay a profit to the grower. Instead of depend ing on local market these men are writing to other states asking for market prices.
 MT. Hubach and many of his neighbors have each year planted one acre of cotton to nine acres of other crops, in- cluding corn, hay, potatoes, strawberries and sorghum. MT. Hubach has been desig- mated by the United States government as one of the most successful plant breeders in America.

A TUBERCULOSIS DAY
 PRAYER.

o God, we pray Thee for all whose vigor is being drained by slow and wasting illness. Strengthen their powers as they battle for their life, and if 1t be possible, we beseech Thee to restore them and grant them the fuliness of their years. If their strength is failing, give them courage still to labor cheer fully and to leave to those who love them dear memories of faith and patience for the dis tant days.
 Since we are all jointly. guilty of the conditions which have bred this disease, may we stand by those who bear the burden of our common sin. and set. the united will of our community against this power that stays the young and strong in the bloom of their life.
 May this death which creeps from man to man be solemn reminder that we are all one : family, bound together in joy and sorrow. In life and death. that we may cease from our selfish indifference and together seek Thy kingdom and Thy righteousness which will alone bring us health and life. Amen.
