A Feeling Of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmers Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The sane standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
1t is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Hilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

THE Karl Ross post Of the Amer
L lean Legion, Stockton, Cal, claims
Mary Pickford as its "godmother," and
the little motion picture star does not
seem inclined to dispute the claim,
having recently addressed a very moth
erly letter to her boys whom she ad-
dressed as godsons.
This post included the Battery G men
of the 143d Field Artillery, Of which
little Mary was godmother.
"Our Mary was an ideal gOdmother,"
said Tod Clawdsley, editor of the San
Joaquin Legion. "She did thousand
and one nice things for our regiment.
She autographed 1000 smileage books
and gave them to US; sent every SOL
der a sweater; sent US thousands of
cigarettes at Camp Kearney and had
10000 of them waiting for US at Camp
Merritt when we returned from
France. She provided us with auto
buses to return from far out in the
country to a dance at Los Angeles,
and she did a lot of other splendid
things, including giving our regimental
standard.
MARY was honored colonel of the
143d Field Artillery. We have been
told that no other in the U. S. ever
had the privilege Of formally inspect
ing a regiment of American troops ex-
cept visiting royalty-no other woman,
that Is.

Tn. Neu Soma of Christianity.

We are reminded today of the great
company standing upon Mount Zion.
before the throne, worshipping the
Lamb with praise and honor and bless
ing, and the harpers are there harping
with their harps-men whose lives
have been strung and drawn by the
tension of suffering until they have
emitted in the blows Of martyrdom
the song of praise acceptable before
God. And today they sing new
song. 1t is the song of infant wailing;
an inarticulate cry; the voice of those
whose only language is a cry. The
new song of christianity, which Stole
and Epicurean had failed to learn
the dignity, the force, the power of
simple suffering.-W. c. E. Newbolt.

FARMERS AND
FOOD PRODUCTION

The country everywhere is calling
on the farmer to hump himself to pro-
duce more food that it may be cheap
er, while almost everybody else is
raising his own wages and cutting
down his day and his production. Will
he do it? Will the farmers maintain
production on the basis of last year
and the year before?
No; they will not, and for these
three very good and sufficient rea-
sons:
First: In regions near mines and
factories great many of the farm
ers have gone to the mine or the shop
for the higher wages and shorter
hours, leaving the farm to the women
ind children. And all over the coun-
try many a small farmer has ADAM
doned his home for the high wages of
the railroad.
In both cases the result is certain
to tell on production; and if the coun-
try is bound to support double pop
ulation in mine and shop and half
population on the land, then it will
have to pay more instead of less for
its living. Few farmers are SO tied
to the land as to make it impossible
to lead or to drive them off, and just
now thousands are being led off and
other thousands driven away from the
land they prefer to work If compensa-
ton on farm and elsewhere were any
where near equal.
Second; If actual heads Of families
and landowners are leaving the land

| it is not strange that it is getting more
and more difficult to find laborers
willing to work upon the farm for any
wage the farmer, can afford to pay,
particularly if he faces falling mar
kets. Under these conditions the
farmer has no choice but to seed to
grass many acres that hitherto have
been raising grain and let the critters
do the work.
With decreasing prices for meat
this will not mean well-fnished beef
and inasmuch as the supply of three
years ahead is being decided now in
the calf crop of year hence, the beef
eater may look forward to paying
large money for low supply of grass
fed stuff about three years from now
unless conditions greatly change and
more men are willing really to earn
the wages they exact.
Third: The third reason why farm
ers will not maintain production even
| if they could is the breakdown in the
foreign markets. For months they
have been demanding that Congress
stop playing politics and swapping
small gossip like an old ladies' tea
party and get down to business long
enough to approve treaty and end
war conditions before we should ut.
terly lose our foreign trade.
But the circus had to go on, and
now the thing has happened. Ex-
change is SO adverse to Europe that
she cannot afford to buy of us the stuff
we have in abundance to sell and that
she is starving to get. The last week
in March not so much as a carload Of
American meat was sold in Copen.
