A MENACE TO COUNTRY

Will our cities eventually
bring disaster to our country
towns?
In doing this will they also
bring ruin upon themselves 2
In accomplishing both Of these
will they become a menace even
to the stability of the republic.
There is grave danger that all
Of these may happen.
A few years ago in any city q
woman could be secured to clean
house for $3.50 or $500 a day
Now they receive as high as $500
a day and three meals.
Carpenters, plasterers, brick
layers and others in the trades
formerly were content with 81 90
and $500 aday Now they de-
mand as high as $500, $1,000 and
more a day and get it.
In the factories, on the rail
roads, in the offices, behind the
counters, everywhere the same
story is told in the big cities.
Wages are mounting and the
amount Of work accomplished IN
a day in decreasing.
Profiteering in clothing and
other necessities and luxuries of
life flourishes unchecked. There
is no diminishing Of this crime
because city people have gone In
sane on the subject Of spending.
Merchants have made the bald
statement that they have offered
excellent articles at moderate
prices only to have them rejected
by the buyers as too cheap
Unable to dispose Of them, they
have tagged the same articles az
double the price and they have
been Immediately snapped up by
the profligate spenders
We might fill the columns of
this paper with many cases and
still tell only a small portion of
the story.
This riotous use Of money in
the cities is having an iniuriou.
effect upon country life. It Is
enticing our young men and
young women from us and is
leaving the rural communities
stranded for help. It is forcing
us to- pay exorbitant prices rol
commodities when we are cur
tailed in our power Of produc
ton and in our earning capacity
The false lure of sudden wealth
is proving too much for the coun
try boy and girl They are for
saking their happy and peacef,,
homes and are rushing in drove
to the call Of the cities gone mad
The bubble has been inflated
almost to the bursting point. I
cannot forever stand the increas
ing strain. In time it must col
lapse
Already city banks are curtai]
ing their loans for building nu1
poses. It is, necessary to stop tn
alarming initiation Of fictitio17
values. Following this will com
a cessation Of activity in til
building trades, with $1,000 da
laborers looking for jobs that ar
not to be had.
Similar conditions may he e1

Marion, O.--(Special.)-Warren G..
Harding was officially notified here of
his nomination as the Republican can
didate for the presidency. His speech
of acceptance is, in part, as follows:
Chairman Lodge, members of Motif
cation Committee, members of National
Committee, ladies and gentlemen: The
message which you have formally con-
veyed brings to me a realization of
responsibility which is not %underesti-
mated. 1t is a supreme task to inter-
pref the covenant of a great political
party, the activities of which are so
woven into the history of this repub-
lie, and a very sacred and solemn
undertaking to utter the faith and as
pirations of the many millions who
adhere to that party. The party plat
form has charted the way, yet, some
how. we have come to expect that in
depreciation which voices the faith of
nominees who must assume specific
tasks.
Let me be understood clearly from
the very beginning. l believe in party
sponsorship in government. 1 believe

10 party government as distinguished
from personal government, individual,
dictatorial, autocratic or what not.
No man is big enough to run this
great republic. There never has been
one. Such domination was never in
tended. Tranquility, stability, depend
ability-all are assured in party spon-
sorship, and we meal to renew the as
surances which were rended in the
eataclysmal war.
Our first committal is the restora-
ton of representative popular govern
ment, under the constitution, through
the agency of the Republican party.
Our vision includes more than a chief
executive, we believe in a cabinet Of
highest capacity, equal to the RESPONSE
bilities which our system cOntem-
plates, in whose councils the vice
president, second official of the repub-
lie, shall be asked to participate. The
same vision includes a cordial under
standing and co-ordinated activities
with a house of Congress, fresh from
the people, voicing the convictions
which members bring from direct con-
tact with the electorate, and cordial
cooperation along with the restored
functions of the senate, fit to be the
greatest d%eliberative body of the
world.
International Relationship.
II Is not difficult, Chairman Lodge,
to make ourselves clear on the ques-
ton of international relationship.
We Republicans of the senate, con
scious of our solemn oaths and mind
full of our constitutional obligations,
when we saw the structure of a
world super-government taking Wis
ionary form, joined in a becoming
warning of our devotion to this re-
public. If the torch of constitutional
ism had not been dimmed, the delayed
peace of the world and the tragedy of
disappointment and Europe's misun--
derstanding of America easily might
have beer avoided. The Republicans
of the senate halted the barter of in
dependent American eminence and in
fluence, which it was proposed to eX-
change for an obscure and unequal
place in the merged government of the
world. Our party means to hold the
heritage Of American nationality un-
impaired and u~nsurrendered.
The world will not m~isconstrue. We
do not mean to hold aloof We do not
mean to shun a single responsibility
of this republic to WORM civilization.
There is no hate in the American
heart. We have nc envy, no suspicion,
no aversion for any people in the
world. We hold to our rights, and

Sun and Wind Bring Out Ugly Spots.
How to Remove Easily.

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try a remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable concern that it
will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles; while if it does
give 0 a clear complexion the e x
pense is trifling.
Simply get an ounce of Othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and a few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get a beauti-
full complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength Othine as this
strength is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.
