! At LEAST IT'S NOT PROBABLE
Judge Was Likely Dead Right When
He Told tho Elderly Lady About
His Gown.

The judges Of the Marion county
courts recently adopted and published
rules relating to formal openings OF
court sessions, requiring all persons
in the courtroom at the time to stand.
This and the other requirements are
designed to insure dignity and deco
rum.
An elderly woman employed at the
courthouse accosted one Of the judges
in the corridors OF the building and
complimented the bench on it's atti-
tude in conducting court.
I'm fact, judge" she added, II think
all Of you judges ought to do like
some of the big Eastern courts and

Without batting an eye the Judge

SEE NONPARTISAN LEAGUE
NEED,

After Marion Butler, former POpu-
list senator from North Carolina, had
told the conference that the proposed
"strike" against planting cotton or to-
bacco or any other staple next season
would be a fizzle, the delegates set
tied down to considering more seri-
Gus measures. They agreed that the
trouble lay in the propaganda carried
on by the federal reserve board and
Secretary Houston, in their insinuat-
ing way, to depress farm prices, and
their combination to shut off farm
credit.
They found that the trouble was Que
to the control of the government by
anti-farmer and prevail street ele.
ments. Their only real remedy would
be political action-to capture the
government at the ballot box for the
wealth producers and thereby get rid
of profiteer government.
1t is a safe bet that this protest
meeting in Washington has broken
down many mental dead wall that
has resisted the idea Of the Nonpar-
tisan league movement in the West
and South. These men, who have fol-
lowed the old party professions in
blissful innocence for so long, are now
picking themselves out of the ditch as
best they can and are looking around
for the big motor trucks of the farm
ers' movement of the Northwest.

Kj,: OWN CHILDREN AT BIRTH
Arioi Of Tahiti Look Upon Attempt Of
Ono OF Their Order to Raise
Child as Sin.

Lovers Of laughter, song, music
lowers and birds, the Arioi of Tahiti
killed their own children at birth, and
looked upon the attempt Of member
of their order to rear a child as q
sin. While religious causes were
given for this by the leaders and, no
doubt, believed in, the real 8 cause,

was natural one whereby the species,
to prevent over-population Of the
South sea island, destroyed it's own.

the island would soon have had hard
time finding food.
The Arioi were wandering minstrels,
actors, priests and wonder workers to
which belonged both men and women.
The natives of Tahiti who have es-
capped the blight Of civilization are
living proofs that at one time the race
was one of the most beautiful in the
worlds history, while investigators
declare that arts and civilization were
brought to a high plane hundreds Of
years ago.

WASHINGTON, D. c. After
three days of debate, committee dis
cussion, reports, visits of appeal and
protest to the treasury and federal
reserve board and ffditless attempts
to get in touch with the president,
the 60 delegates from % farm organ
izations who met here October IL to
deal with the collapse of prices OF
farm crops have gone home.
They have gone with empty hands,
and with bleak despair in their
hearts. They know, now, that Wall
street is squeezing them, as it did in
the panic of 1873 and in 1898, and
that the federal reserve board and the
secretary of the treasury are going
to stand by and refuse to offer any
help.
The delegates represented hundreds
of thousands of southern farmers,
whose children must be taken from
high school and college if cotton
prices do not go up within a few
weeks. Mortgage foreclosures will be
plentiful in the South next spring. One
planter from Texas stated that he had
been unable TO get bid at Z cents
a pound for his cotton, which had
been grown for market between 30
and 40 cents.
With the Kansas and Missouri
wheat and livestock growers the story
was almost as desperate. There are
no hogs today on 40 per cent of the
farms in Kansas Cattle are being
sold at loss Of $50 per head. Wheat
brings $1.6O at the farm, when $277
is required to pay the fair cost of its
production. More women were en-
ployed on western farms this year
than ever before, due to lack Of male
help. These women are now going to
lose even the wages Of their hard toll.
But Secretary Houston talked Of the
sin of Encouraging the farmer to
hold his crops for a speculative price"
and the federal reserve board said
that it was unable to create farm cred
it except in proportion to the gold re-
serve. The farmer must accept the

NO CANADIAN AMBASSADOR

Canada is not to have her resident

POLAND'S GENTLEMAN
FARMER.

Our latest gentleman farmer in pol

chief as we'll as president of Poland.
Some say Poland is a republic. Others,
especially those who have non-Polish
rclatjyes over there, say that Poland
is crime Which soon will become a
monarchy. In any case, Pilsudsk}
controls Poland, and one Of his mill
tary forces has just violated peace
armistice and grabbed the capital of
the neighboring republic Of Li!huania,
Now comes the Lithuanian envoy in
the United States-whose plea for rec.
ognition Secretary Colby has frigidly
rejected-and shows that Pilsudski is
the owner of the big landed estates
near Wilma, and that in order to hold
those estates Pilsudski secretly pro.
posed to this Lithuanian statesman in
the spring of 1919 that they agree on
revolt and "cantonal state" with
Wilma as it's center, to be under con.
troll of Pilsudski, who promised to re-
sign as president of Poland.
The offer was refused and Pilsud.
ski promptly carried out threat con.
tanned in his offer-that he would take
Wilma with the Polish army. Since
then he has been driven out by the
Russians, and only recently lis troops,
after an armistice, "revolted" and cap
;ured the city and got possession of
his lands. Now Pilsudski resigns
again.
Will he take chance on keeping
Russia, Lithuania and all other coun-
tries at bay while he settles down on
his Vino farm?

WHAT ARE VITAMINES?
What are YitamineS ~

Nv hat are vitamineS ?'
This is question asked repeatedly
since the Importance Of these COM
pounds in foods has come into prum-
inence, but no definite answer has
yet been given. Investigations by
scientists at universities. agricultur-
al experiment stations, and institu-
tions for medical research have re-
vealed much information regarding
the function Of vitamines in body
maintenance and building, and the
various foods in which they are to
be found.
That vitamines are compounds absO-
lutely essential in the food, in order
to maintain the weight Of the body
and produce growth, has been def
nitely proved. The lack Of vitaminss
causes deficiency diseases, SO named
because they are due to lack Of some
thing in the diet. Vitamines are pres
ent and are needed in such small
quantities in the food that chem
lists have not yet been able to
isolate them from the many other
compounds which are in foods. For
this reason, we know very little Of
the actual character Of vitamines.
Three Types of Vitamines.
According to statement by DIR.
Carl o. Johns, formerly in charge Of
nutrition work in the Bureau Of Chem
istry, United States Department Of
Agriculture, vitamines have been
classified into three different types
depending upon the functions which
they have in promoting well-beinR
and growth.
The first type is known as water
