small profits. One cash price to everybody. All prices
marked in plain figures. No so-caled sales No premium

What Senator Harding
Thinks Of the Farmers

The Republican candidate for the Presidency of the
United States stood upon the floor of the Senate on July
18TH 1917 and made this somewhat startling statement
I'm this latter day farming has become an &C.
cupation for profit and happen to know that
under normal conditions dollar wheat makes
very profitable occupation. Perhaps not to the
farmer who farms the farmer, but 1T is to the
farmer who farms the farm
Senator Hardngs insincerty in his pose now the
friend Of the farmer given added emphasis by his stand
the farm loan BILL shown by the Congressional Rec
ord The Senator not outspoken in his opposition to
rescued thousands of small farmers the clutches the
loan sharks and enabled thousands of tenant farmers to
price for wheat in the food control BILL but he was I'm
doubtelly on the side of the mortgage banker.
Senator Harding opposed the farm loan bill and he ad
vocaed dollar wheat for the farmer There need for the
loan BILL the farmers knew this themselves for under
its operation these benefits were gained:
One hundred and twenty-five thousand and
three individual loans, totaling $356,616,o41, made

Enabled farm borrowers to obtain money at

An important development of the
campaign that strengthens the Demo-
cratic hope and gives a moral backing
worth much is the publication by The
Christian Work of figures showing the
attitude of the clergy towards the
League. Fifteen thousand three hun
dred and nine clergymen signed a petit
ton urging prompt ratification of the
Treaty and the League without multi
flying reservations. Eight hundred and
sixteen clergymen declined to sign The
signers outnumbered the . nonsigners
more than eighteen to one, Every
shade of religious belief was repre-
scented on this petition; Protestant
Catholic, Hebrew and other faiths.
The character of the support that
Governor Cox is winning is indicated
by the above and by the support of Dr.
Charles w. Eliot, John Burroughs and
host Of other prominent men,

Heroes

Led by a Santa Fe conductor, pass
engers on board train at Las Animas
rushed bandit, recovered their valua-
bles and turned him over to the author
tiles. For hours, the passengers had
been held at bay by the one lone man
with pistol 10 his hand. Each pass
enger wanted the bandit captured,
but each feared for his own personal
safety and dared not make the break
toward him. When the train official
led the attack, they all joined in.
That is the difference between the
heroes and the general run, the diff.
erence between those who succeed and
those who stay in the rut. 1t is the
man who forgets personal safety in an
effort to serve his fellows, the man who
dares get out Of his rut, who wins and
stands out above the common herd

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by a con Sttution-
al remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by al iniamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is inhamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. Unless the Inflammation
can be reduced and this tube restored
to its normal condition hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases ofdeaf-
ness are caused by catarrh, which is an
inllamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Medicine acts
thru The blood on the mucous surfaces
of the system.
We will give one Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh Med
