with black eagles and gold crowns.
These colors had been kept in our

Rupture" Why? Because the unfortunate
ones had neglected themselves or had been
merely taking care Of the sign (swelling) of
the affliction and paying no attention to
the cause. What are you doing? Are you
neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, APP

it? AT best, the truss is only makeshift.
a false prop against a collapsing wall-and
cannot be expected to act as more than
mere mechanical support. The binding pres

need observation-disclosures
But science has found a way, and every
truss sufferer in the land is invited to make,
a FREE test right in the privacy of their

Farm to Table Sales
Proposed as Weapon
To Fight High Costs

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Repre-
sentatives of 100000 farmers met
here to take up plans for bringing
down the high cost of living.
Direct selling frop the farm to
the table was proposed as the princi-
pal method of attacking high prices.
''It is the only cure for the prob
lem Of the high cost of living" said
C. S. Barrett, president of the Ma
tional Farmers union. THE farmer
will receive more for his products
while the consumer will get food and
necessities at much lower prices"
Speakers for the afternoon session
wore Victor Murdoch, of the federal
trade commission, and Senators
Underwood and Gfonna.

ADMIRAL PEARY.
POLAREXPLORER,
DIES OF ANEMIA

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Rear Ad-
miral Robert E. Peary died at his
home here Friday from pernicious
anemia.
After a operation for blood trans
fusion the admiral showed a slight
change for the better and was taken
to his home where he appeared to
be recovering.
His wife, son, son-in-law, and
daughter and niece were at his
home when he died.
It was on the afternoon of Sep
TENDER 6, 1909 that the following
few words reported to the civilized
world for the first time this crown
ing achievement of three centuries
Of effort:

N. F., Sept. 6.-To the Associated
Press, New York.
stars and Stripes nailed to North
Pole.
"PEARY."
Peary's actual attainment of the
pole had been just five months be-
fore, son April 6, 1909.
y When this dispatch came, the
world was, quite unknown to Peary,
already praising DR.. Frederick A.
Cook, as the discoverer. Only four
days previous to the Peary announce
ment, Cook, who~was on his way
back to Copenhagen on board a Dam
ish steamer, had telegraphed the
claim that he reached the Pole on
April 81, 190S-nearly year ahead
of Peary.
While Dr.. Cooks claim did not go
urquestioned from the first, he had
for four days at least been widely
acclaimed as the discoverer Of the
pole. With Peary's message there
arose one of the greatest controver-
sizes Of all ages over the honor OF
actual first discovery. There can be
no one who-has forgotten the dis
pute. Peary's' assertions were not
seriously questioned, but among
newspaper readers there came to be
two great camps, for and against
Cook.
Peary with his record Of seven
successful trips to the Arctic, his
official standing in the United States
navy and in scientific circles, easily
held the commanding position in the
controversy. But it was only after
the scientific bodies one by one had
sifted the evidence and pronounced
Cooks claims unfounded that Peary's
title as discoverer of the pole was
really won

$4,000 SLACKERS
ROUNDED UP BY
FEDERAL AGENTS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Approxl-
mately $4,000 slackers have been
rounded UP so far, the justice de-
partment let it be known today, in
a drive to bring to book all who evad-
ed military service in the war. These
$4,000 arrests represent the work of
months by department agents, who
are running down suspects, the
names of whom are furnished by the
war department..
The lists of names are divided in
to two categories, 1921 men being
,classed as wilful deserters from the
draft, and 151,354 being regarded as
suspects who must be questioned
and investigated.
I Justice department officials said
today they are going forward with
the work of rounding up the suspect
ed slackers as fast as the bureau of
investigation can handle the cases.
I Of the $4,000 so far arrested, hun.
dreds, have been convicted and SEN
fenced to Jail terms in federal peni.
tentiaries. Others are awaiting ar
raignment. Some have been let off
with little punishment because Il
was found that while their registra-
there was no intention Of fraud.
The penalty for violation of the
draft law provided in the act itself
is one years imprisonment.
Some of those arrested are being
tried by courts martial since they
were legally indicted into the army
or certified for service by their
draft boards but failed to report for
duty.
Justice department officials say
the Stacker drive may take several
years to complete although most Of
the important arrests probably will
be made within the next few months,
Justice department officials take
the position that although the war is
finished they are not relieved from
the duty of bringing punishment to
ner. nJ who violated the draft law
