THE ELECTRIC SWEEPER RE-
PLACES THE BROOM

The electric sweeper is one OF the
many electrical appliance which meets
with the strong approval OF the house
wife. The broom is old fashioned. 1t
belongs to the period of the frall ana
the hand scythe. It's one recommends
ton is its simplicity. For brushing
away a small amount OF rubbish IN
hurry it is the most convenient means,
lust as the h and scythe will probably
always be used occasionally to cut
away a patch of weeds or reach mar
row corner in field.
But when broom is used to do all
of the sweeping in the house, partlcu-
larry in carpeted rooms, 1t means lotS
of work and not very thorough results.
In the first place hand sweeping is tlr-
ing work, the farm wife has enough
work of that kind to be interested IN
making her labOrs easier wherever pos
sible. Every woman knows that to real
" clean a carpet with a broom is I'M
possible and that the best she can nope
| to do is brush away the surface DIRT
with a broom and wait for cleaning
time to take the carpet out or doors
and get it really clean by beating II.
How much dirt has been left in the car
net for all the sweeping becomes ap.
parent enough when choking cloud
of dust arises during the heating. What
really happens during the ordinary
sweeping with broom is that the dirt
and dust are stirred up, float about IN
the air and later settle down again
lust about where they were before.
| The electric vecuum sweeper chang
es all of this. 1t is built on the prln-
ciple of shaking the dirt free from the
carpet and then drawing it into Dag
(instead of freeing it in the air. from
which it can be removed later outol
doors. It's matter of just a moment
| to attach the lectric sweeper to Dase-
board plug or light socket, and after
| that very easy thing to run the
sweeper over the carpet. 1t S easy WORK
to do and the housewife has the satls
faction while she's doing 1t, OF know
/ ing that her new sweeper is DONG
much better work than her old broom
could ever have done.
The sweeper, like all other electrical
appliances, has come to the farm
through the development and intro
duction of electric light and power
plants for the farm home, These little
plants give an abundance of the best
and safest light all over the house and
barns and produce ample current for
/ the Operation of all kinds of light
power appliances both in the house
and in the barns. There are at least
hundred thousand such plants in ac-
tual and successful operation on Amer
lean farms today, and the time is not
far distant when we shall find cleo
tricity on the farm as common thing
as electricity in the city home.

Democrats Resent Dictatorship

The revolt against further domina-
ton of the Democratic party by Mr..
Wilson hes broken out anew among
the members of that party in Con-
gress. With Representative Humph-
reys of Mississippi as their spokesman,
they have issued challenge to the
President to state his position on a
third term. Democratic leader Kitch-
in obtained the floor for Mr.. Humph-
reys, and at the Conclusion of the ad-
dress practically the entire Democratic
membership, as well as the Republi-
can Congressman, rose and applauded.
The whole tone of the speech indicat-
ed the fear that Mr.. Wilson las not
abandoned the idea of seeking a re-
election. 1t was also made clear that
it is the belief of House Democrats
that every day Mr.. Wilson delays his
announcement weakens the party's
chances in the election. 1t is under
stood that the feeling against the
President dates back to the famous let
ter he wrote just before the last cleo
tion, in which he urged the country
to return a Democratic House. Con-
gressmen of that party declare that
the present Republican majority of 80

Hoover's Agile Mind

One week Mr.. Hoover said he could
r't join either party until he found out
what they stood for, and the next week
nc declared himself Republican. Then
he must have been SO ignorant of
American public affairs that he knew
nothing about the parties one week and
learned all about them the next, with
out either party having declared itself
anew upon any subject. Great mind,
that-a sort of double track, with turn
tables and switching facilities.

GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
Distrust Arbitrary Power

Washington, Apr. 14-(Special cor
respondence)-The desire and effort of
the executive departments to add to
their discretionary power was illustrat-
ed recently when, at the suggestion of
the Postmaster General, there was Of
fered for inclusion in the Postofficc
Appropriation Bill an amendment
which would give the Postmaster Cen
cral power to establish branch post
offices, or stations, beyond the corpor
ate limits of the boundaries of any
city or town without regard to dis
tance from, or the population of, the
village or city. If such provision
should be enacted into law, the Post
master General could consolidate all
the postoffices in a county, or all the
postoffices in a State, for that matter,
making them all tributary to one city.
It is not likely that this extreme act
ion would be taken, but members Of
the Senate, having observed the man.
ner in which the Postmaster General
has exercised his discretionary power
in the past, refused to consent to the
amendment. They felt that the Post
master General would use his power
with little regard for the wishes of the
patrons of city or town. The man.
ner in which rural routes have been
cut down or extended or diverted in
defiance of the wishes Of the patrons,

Foreign Interests win Not Control

Foreign Interests Will Not Control
Former Senator James Hamilton
Lewis has discovered that the foreign
vote of six middle Western States is
going to determine who shall be our
next President. He claims that it will
be their vote on the peace treaty as
related to conflicts among their mo-
ther lands that will be the deciding
factor The United States or its poll
cies will not enter into the race at all.
Thus" says Mr.. Lewis, neither the
Democratic nor Republican policies for
he United States will win the race.
The foreigners in the United States
on foreign issues will be the victor"
Mr.. Lewis is n notorious pro-leaguef
and it must be assumed that he means
that the foreign vote will be cast in
favor of the covenant and for the in
tervention of this country in European
disturbances. But he must remember
that lost of the immigrants who come
to our shores are seeking relief from
the political turmoil of Europe, and
they would be very loath to see the
country of their adoption become in
volved in the very conditions they
have sought to escape. They are not
likely to vote for candidate who will
seek to embroil the United States in
foreign wars, through the medium of
league of nations or otherwise. But
even IL all foreigners retain n first
love for the country they deserted, and
will vote to obligate America to come
TO its assistanct when threatened, it
is a rash assumption that they will
crrry a preponder nee of power in the
elections next November. That the
American electorate has been brought
under the control of men who seek TO
subordinate the best interests of this
country to the aims and aspirations of
foreign nations is something that can
rot be admitted for n moment. When
he was in the Senate Mr.. Lewis never
commanded the attention of many of
his colleagues when he spoke, and his
predictions now have as little weight
as his fervid orations at the Capitol
The Lamar register., 1920-04-14
can be directly attributable to Mr.. Will
sons partisan appeal at that time.
Would Save Paper

Representative Charles j. Thomp-
son, of Ohio, has introduced bill that
would tax advertisers in books, news
papers OIL periodicals ten per cent on
space and contract rates. "The tax
on advertisers will meet the print pa
per shortage indirectly and will not
compel an arbitrary reduction in the
size of newspapers" said Representa-
tive Thompson. The tex would be I'M
posed upon advertisers in all publi-
cations having a circulation of 5000
or more. Bona fide classified 2dver-
tisements of lost" 'help wanted" or
positions wanted" are excluded. Ad-
vertisemonts of public sales at auction
of live stock, farming implements and
utensils would not be taxed.

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL
Health is Worth Saving, and Some
Moscow People Know How to
Save 1t.

Many Moscow people take their
lives in their hands by neglecting the
kidneys when they know these organs
need help. Weak kidneys are respon-

and i'll health-the slightest delay is
dangerous. Use Doan's Kidney Pills
"a remedy that has helped thousands
of kidney sufferers. Here is a Mos
COW citizens recommendation.
Mrs. F. H. Van Slyke, TIC w. Sixth
St., says: Last spring I had to take
a kidney remedy, because my kidneys
were disordered. My back was weak
and lame, too, so l got Doan's Kidney
Pills at Hodgins' Drug Store. From
the good results I recommend Doan's
as a good, reliable kidney remedy.
They strengthened my kidneys and
brought good results in every way"

Startling disclosures of crooked
ness in the world series of the base

by the investigation before the Chi

pitchers of the Chicago team is alleged
to have confessed that he sold" his

ers got $4,000 each for throwing" the
game. They were employed to do this
by a bunch of gamblers who made a
cleanup of several hundred thousand
dollars by betting on Cincinnati. This
