The witness stated fatty that the
proposal to raise the limit o. indiv-

$1,000 was the only reason for the
disappearing of Form 101. He said
his plans contemplated no secrecy

as "a campaign expedient" an in

the work.
Senator William s. Kenyon called
attention to the fact that the work in
Cleveland described by Mr.. Blossom
at the morning session tailed with
the details of Form 101 closely.
Asked how successful his drives
for funds had been, Mr.. Blair said
that between December l, 1918, and
June IL, 1920, the convention
period, cash and pledges amounted
to $1,7OO,OOO.

''But would you have heard of it if

"Not only that, but I would have
refused to undertake to raise it on

Mrs. Tulsa Phelps Haynes has
resigned from her position in our
high school and will look after
her home at Mendon for the
future. 1t was considerable of a
surprise to the community and
we may also remark occasioned
much regret. Mrs. Haynes had
made numerous friends outside
of school patrons and among
those who have children in the
school as we'll as the children,
she was deservingly popular.
Some of the counties in the

N)daway county never had a
farm bureau until last week and
in four days secured l047 mem
bers and expects to reach a men,
bership of 1850 easily. There is
not a reason why this county
should not have a farm bureau
membership of 1000 and we be-
lieve that there will be so many
in the course of the year. Why
in thunder wont farmers take
hold of good things which are
principally in their favor. such
as the farm bureau.

Editor Ritzenthaler of Salisbury
was in town last week. When
thru with his business he stepp-
ed into the Courier office for a
chat and to await the street car
for home. The car was about
opposite the printing office when
discovered on its way. Edtr. Joe
made a dash to catch it. A tin
lizzy headed him off and stopped.
Joe started around and the crit
ter cut across street ahead of
him. He flew back to get around
behind it but it backed up and
nearly caught him, not mapping
but sprinting. He waited, so did
the lizzy and when Joe made a
start, it was just at the moment
when the car was ready to dart.
About out of breath and the
street car disappearing over the
grade and gaming speed, it was
desperate. Salisbury or bust re-
solution perched on the heated
hat band of the game editor
and he shot for the curb and
around the villanous machine
but narrowly escaped being
bumped. Then some sprint and
the street car was overtaken,

night at the big indoors gym, the
contest narrowing to B. H. S

WHY DEMOCRACY APPEALS
TO WOMEN.

Mrs John X, Ottley, associate
democratic national committee
woman for Georgia, and a mem
ber Of the executive committee OF
he IA ional committee, in re-
cent appeal to the Democrats Of
her state, said:
Z" AS lifelong Democrat, | am
proud to stand upon the record
OF the Democratic administration
just drawing to a close. Being
composed Of human beings, |
suppose it has not been infalli-
be, but the consideration of its
errors VIZ may confidently en-
trust to the opposition party.
Democracy has a great story
to tel, and it is the sort Of
story mat appeals to the Ameri-
can people. The re dictionary
policies of the Republican party
are not what the American peo-
pie want. On the other hand,
they do not desire the extreme
,radicalism which fights vainly
first under one-third party ban
ner and then another. What they
do want is liberal party with a
record of practical, forward-look-
ing achievement, and a promise
OF future progress in the same
direction.
"This is what the Democratic
party has to offer, and if we are
united in its presentation, the
American people will show in
1920, as they did in 1916, that
their wishes lie that way. Wom-
en especially want the things
