POLITICAL PARAGRAPHS.

In order that industrial production
in the United States may be fully pro

cheaper-nade goods. Representative
Joseph w. Fordney, OF Michigan,
chairman of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, has introduced a
bill which is calculated to prevent un
fair competition. He provides that if
any American manufacturer has an In

the American market at a lower price

Tribute to Mrs. Martin Whit.
lock.

In the death of Mrs. Martin Whit
lock some weeks ago good woman
was taken from our community and
called to her reward in Heaven. She
was a great suffered for about six
months prior to her death but she
bore it all patiently. Being paralyzed
she had to lie upon her back all the
time and was a great sufferer but
she was never heard to murmur or
complain. She spoke several times to
the writer about her READINGS to die.
At one time she asked why she could
not be taken so that others would not
have to nurse and lift her. She was
thinking more of others than her
self. Her husband, an old crippled
Confederate veteran, never tired or
complained but constantly minister
ed to her wishes and comforts. Her
son and his wife, also friends and
neighbors were very faithful. Mrs.
Whitlock was a good woman "a kind
neighbor and member of the Philip
pi church, where the funeral and in
terment took place. Her neighbors
and friends will miss the smiles which
she always bore on her face. The
community has sympathized deeply
with this stricken home.
A FRIEND.

Wednesday, June 16.

Wednesday, June 16.
Virginia will have to yield the So
briquet, "Mother of Presidents" to
Ohio.
Johnson and Borah got what they
deserved at the hands of the Repub-
licans.
Both of the great political parties
expect victory but neither will have
an easy victory.
They say men wear too many
clothes in summer and we are inclin-
ed to believe it.
The blackberry "bushes" are filled
but the sugar gourd is empty-a
calamitous situation, isn't it.
Senator Harding is said to be a
middle-of-the-road Republican, and
doubtless be will find it a very rocky
road.
Judging by the price recently paid
for a manuscript in Paris, $4,000,
not everybody is yet dead broke in
France.
The papers contain more accounts
of mysterious murders these days
than ever before. But finally "mur-
der will out"
"Vice President Marshall Sees
Democratic Victory" says head
line. Let US hope that Mr.. Marshall
has good eyesight.
When you see a young lady wear
ing a sweater these sweltering June
days you can bet it is brand new
one and she thinks it is pretty.
If Harding goes from printers
devil to the White House, it will
cause some of US who have grown
weary to renew hope and courage.
While Republicans are exulting
over a possible victory they should
bear in mind that NOMINATION
is one thing and ELECTION another.
It is refreshing to see college grad
yates of both sexes looking out for
job as soon as they get their diplo-
ma. This is busy age and drones
are not wanted.
Ohio is already saying that Hard
ing will make the seventh president
which that state has furnished.
Sometimes disappointment follows
counting chickens before they hatch.
That which most fits Mr.. Harding
rfor the presidency was his birth in
"a log-cabin. AS between the log
cabin type and the silver-spoon type
of men for public life, The Advertis-
ser prefers the former.
Even in Republican convention
nominations can not be bought. Had
that been possible, the millions which
were back of General Wood might
have made him the Republican STAN
.dard-bearer.
- #E
MIR. Harding's father and mother
wanted to make a Baptist preacher
out of him but he preferred politics,
which was a decided falling from
grace or back-sliding or something
sof the kind.

ONLY S100. PER MONTH

Washington-New high schools have
been added to the American educa-
tional system at the rate of at least
one a day during the last 2S years.
Statistics compiled by the federal
bureau of education show that there
are now more than 1900 such schools,
an increase OF ASP per cent over the
number in 1890. Attendance figures
from $4,000 of the schools give n
total of 1,735,6l9 scholars, indicating
in effect that one-tenth of the popu-
lation is getting high school educa-
tions, the bureau states.
Only 6S2 of the schools reporting
to the bureau enroll 500 students
each and 27S enroll over 1000, while
one-half of the 1881 school tabulated
have an enrolment Of between %
and 100 students. City high schools
constitute less than 10 per cent Of
