Emperor Elliott pranced to the front,
and don't forget Chuck Deal with his
little morning Glzzard, and Doc
Grassland was on hand and hurried
consultation was held. I'VE must
get Johns goat" was the song they
all sung, by Gum leading with the
tenor and Jee Gosh bringing up the
other end with his deep bass. Last
summer they organized their orches-
ira. BY Gum tweedled leedied
little on his flute, and Chuck Deal
twanged the strings Of his cello in

Doc Grassland tummed along in com

bass vlol and they rolled John and
his friends, Lewis Randolph, and
Judge Boyer and others, and Oh!
what glee was theirs then. But John
came up smiling and was still a re-
publican Just the same. Another
conference of the bunch was held
and this time the chorus changed
and tile refrain was 1--WE must kill
him, we must kill him." But how
was 1t to be done most expeditiously
and artistically. You know BY Gum
is very resourceful, his association
necessarily makes him SO, and he
thought a little bit and then ex-
claimed: Eureka, l have 1t, l have
it, we will get him for not making
and filing report as county treasurer
of the Republican county committee,
that will kill him sure, and then the
refrain was sounded with more zeal
than ever. But alas for by Gum,
his prowess as a killer was doomed
to fall, for John had already COM
piled with the law and filed his ac-
count and showed he had paid him
self for just a portion of the long
hours he had spent doing the work
which some of this very bunch had
promised to do, and for portion of

Like a set of growing hounds dis

Of their well laid plans to prevent
him, John had a front seat at the
Harding meeting and rode to Kansas
City, the only st. Joseph Republican
to accompany the presidential cam
didate and his wife in .heir private
car on that trip. l can imagine the
const formation upon the faces of this
precious bunch OF ringsters when
they heard this. Jee Gosh and Doc

Now that the street car company
is trying to put on 1Oc street far fares
we ought to organize walking clubs,
ard community automobile mainten-
ance clubs, and boycott the cars in
every way possible. The mayor and
city council ought to repeal all or
dinances placing taxes on the jitneys
and turn those that charge only SC
absolutely free and tax the others by
a graduated scale according to the
fare they charge. The ordinances
burdening the jitneys so they could
not operate was passed at the in
stance of the street railway company,
and now since they raise these fares
so high on us we ought to turn the
titneys loose and let them compete

RUSSIANS CONTINUE
ATTACKS ON POLES
Heavy Re-enforcements Unable
To Pierce Front, Says War
saw Dispatch.

LONDON. March 2s.-The Russian
sive against the Poles with heavy
re-enforce drawn from south
Russia, said a Central News dispatch
from Copenhagen today, quoting ad-
vices received there from Warsaw.
The heaviest assaults are being
made on the Podolisn-V olhynian
front. but all were repulsed. the
Polish war office announces.
Russian troops drawn from the
south had previously been used in
the campaign against General Deni'
kin. They were well equipped but
suffered heavy losses in their repeat
ed attacks against the Polish lines.
Warsaw announces the capture OF
many prisoners and much booty. Ac-
cording TO information received by
the British war office. the Russian Of
fensive included three main attacks,
with isolated thrusts elsewhere.
The three chief attacks were
against both Polish tanks and the
center. The Russians employed Ger
man tactics by opening with violent
commandments. following up with in
fantry thrusts supported by hot fire
from armored motor cars and trains.
There is no official confirmation OF
the reports which emanated from
Berlin Saturday that the Russians
have taken wilma, and that the Polish
government has been withdrawn from
Warsaw to Bromberg.
Poland has informed the allies that
she has proposed to open negotiations
with the Russian Soviet government
on April 10. This proposal was sent
to Moscow. evidently from Warsaw,
by Wireless.

Whooping cough is the mean
.st" disease that childhood is
heir to. While rarely fatal in
itself, except to children under
two years of age, still it hangs on
50 long-the coughing paroxysms
are SO violent, preventing proper
sleep and digestion-that when
the disease does disappear it
leaves the child weakened and
run down. In addition the
violent coughing racks and-strains
the air passages and after re-
covery this irritation frequently
remains.
During this period of conval-
escence the child should be most
carefully watched until full
strength is restored and the air
passages regain their normal tone
A prominent authority even goes
so far as to s=y-"Thcre is mere
criminal neglect in connection
with whooping cough than with
any other disease"
While the disease is active,
Vick's VapoRub usually helps to
lessen the violence of the cough
ing, but it is during conval-
escence that Vicks is most val
liable.
