BUILDING PLAN TAKES
Many Investors Taking stock In
lcnryctta's Home building
Scheme

HENRY ETA, Dec. 3.--That the
"1Ienryetta plan" for solving the
building problem will become an un-
qualified success is amply evidenced
by the the number of investment
subscriptions coming into the board
of trustees, the personnel OF which
are !. Il. Whitcnton, president Of
the Citizens bank; Walter II. Wilson,
vice president of the First National
bank, j. IL. Vaughn, vice president
of the Miners National bank, II. Il.
Morgan, vice president of the Henry
eta State bank, and Lee Boerstler,
wholesale grocer. The fact that
these g,4tlemen sponsor the move
ment, and administer the affairs of
the fund lends that confidence to
the scheme which the public de-
mands before Investing its money
and Is the lever that induces the
investor to financially assist In
solving the local housing situation.
The Henryetta building fund is
not a charity proposition, neither is
IL one of philanthropy, but is a
strictly profitsharing scheme for the
investor while at the same time act
ing as n town builder in solving the
to raise $4,000 by popular sub
scription for the building OF small
homes for the wage Garner who
would purchase them on the install

the house at S2500, the purchaser
would make an advance payment OF
| $500, and obligatc himself to make
further payments of s35 per month
deferred payments drawing eight
per ceA interest. Should the pur'
chaser 6esire an extra finish or ad
dition to the house plans of the FUND
he would then advance the estimat
ed cost OF such addition or extras

Solutions of this kind may be ap-
piled with light bandages or clean
cloths, which should be kept moist,
and should be changed and discarded
frequently to avoid infection. Dur
ing the night, or when moist applica-
tons can not be used, the poisoned
surfaces should be carefully cleaned
and dried and left exposed to the air
rather than tightly bandaged. In the
later stage, after the toxic material
has exhausted itself, zinc-oxid oint-

only one who reaps the benefit is the
importer, the man who "toils not,
neither does he spin," yet who IS ar
rayed like Solomon in all his glory"
The people have made up their minds
that vast importations are good for
the importer, and for no one else IN
this country. They have made up
their minds that these vast importa-
tions are robbing them of the means
of earning livelihood, since, because
of this huge influx of foreign goods,
mills are obliged to close down, hav-
ing no orders to fill. The orders are
going to the importers who are rob
bling the people of their birthright,
the right to work for a living at de-
cent American wages.
The Free-Trade candidate for the
presidency is in an awkward position.
He is between the devil and the deep
blue sea- He must f'fish or cut bait, D
but he does not know which to do.
Without the League of Nations as an
issue, the only important issue be-
tween the two dominant parties is
the Tariff. The Republican candi-
dates for the presidency and the vice
presidency have affirmed their firm
belief in the necessity of Tariff Pro
lection for the industries of the coun
try On the contrary, the Demo
cratic party has reaffirmed its adher
ence to the theory of Tariff fo1
revenue only. The people have haC
enough of a Revenue Tariff which
does not produce revenue.
It is about time for Candidate Coz
to quit trying to "carry water on boil
shoulders" Or perhaps he is willing
to go to the polls on the record of hi
party in reducing the high cost o.

"save the Big Trees" is Urged

The oldest living entities on earth
are the sequoias, the giant trees of
the California mountains. Before
Rome was built on its seven hills,
when Athens was in its glory and
Darius, the Persian, crossed the
Hellespont, the patriarchs of today
were 10O-foot striplings.
It required thousands of years to
produce these contemporaries of Marc
Antony and Diogenes. They will still
be hale and vigorous, a natural cathe-
dral of living columns, when the
Great War is as remote as the Crus-
AIDES are today-if we have sense,
vision, love and generosity enough
to save these sole survivors of the
ante-Christian era from being split
into grape stakes and shingles.
To preserve these trees for poster
ity the ''Save the Redwoods League"
was organized with Franklin K. Lane
as president 1t will mean the ex-
penditure of millions by California
counties, by the state government of
California and by Congress. You can
help. Your contribution and your in
f1uence are needed. Join the "Save
the Redwoods League" and preserve
Gods temple for posterity.- Septem-

Wrong Again

Franklin D. Roosevelt glibly re-
marks that the tariff is no longer in
politics. See that? Poof! wave of
the hand, and it is banished. Strange
that the Democratic party in its San
Francisco platform should reafirm its
adherence to the policy of a tariff for
revenue only. Furthermore, confut-
ing his statement that the tariff COM
mission is non-partisan body, atten-
ton is called to the fact that, while
the law so provided, Mr.. Wilson ap-
pointed but one Republican to that
commission, and he was a pallid type
who readily absorbed ink from the
White House rubber stamp outfit.
The truth of the matter is that the
tariff cannot be removed from politics
so long as there are two schools of
thought representing free trade and
protection. The Tariff Commission
can investigate until it is black in the
face, but it cannot legisIate because
Congress lacks the power to delegate
legislation. Hence, the Commissions
reports to Congress must of necessity
| be subjected to Congressional scrut-
my and the protectionist will find
meat for his argument equally with
the free trader. Immediately the
tariff becomes a political issue. Mr.
RooseveIt's ignorance of this fact
shows his pitiful unfamiliarity with
: economic questions. Imagine him pre-
siding as President of the United
i States Senate. Boise Penrose and
FurnifoId Simmons get into a heated
discussion as to the proper rate of
. duty on lumber, Simmons pet in
dustry. ''TutI Tut! gentlemen" ad-
monishes Franklin D., "you are in
dulging in empty argument. have
decreed that the tariff is no longer an
issue" And, if they persisted in the
debate he would reach for that gavel,
carved from the handral of the Presi-
Dental yacht, MAYFLOWER, sancti-
! fed, by the hand of Saint Woodrow,
and bean Simmons on the head. That

How TO Treat Ivy Poisoning

In the early stages of ivy poisoning
remedies having a fatty or oily base,
such as ointments, should not be used,
as the grease or oil tends to dissolve
and spread the poison, according to
specialists of the United States De-
they advise simple remedies such as
local applications of solutions of cook
ing soda or of EPSON salts, one or two
heaping teaspoons to a cup of water.
