THRILLING STRUGGLE
With Death is VICTORIOUS
Fierce Battle With Grim Spectre Brings Health to Dr.
Reese and Message of Hope to Millions of
Sufferers.

After Dr.. H. V. Reese had suffer
ed for 10 years and had been told by
the greatest stomach specialist in the
country that there was no hope for
his recovery. he determined to spend
his remaining days in experimenting
upon himself in an endeavor TO de-
veiep remedy for sufferers from
stomach, liver and kidney trouble
such as himself.
DR.. Reese's condition at this time
was so critical that II was impossible
for him to retain food in the stomach,
1t being necessary TO wash that or
gan out two or three times Gay.
This in addition to the severe liver
and kidney trouble which generally
goes with stomach trouble.
After months of heart-breaking
failures and with his condition grow
ing worse DR.. Reese finally hit upon
The Formula which Is now known as
the Reese Formula R-11 that com
pletely restored his health.
This happened in 1895, twenty.
one years ago. Today at the age OIL
73 years DIR. Reese weighs 175
pounds, forty pounds more than he
ever weighed and his life. is hale and

High Honor For
Local Fire Chief

Chief okey j. Watkins has been
honored today with an appointment as
assistant state fire marshal by Chief
Marshal John s. Koran, OF Charles
ton. Mr.. Watkins papers to this eff
feet arrived last night and are efrec-
tire az once. The work will not in
ferfere with his work in the city as
chile OF the ire department and the
ppoitnment has pleased Mr.. Watkins
very much, as he was selected from
among chiefs of many West Virginia
cities. There is no compensation with
the new Office except at times when
assistance Is needed from the new
assistant fire marshal. Mr.. Watkins
now has both state and huniciapl au-
thprity in inspection work and it is
felt that the new position will be of
material benefit2to him in many WAYS.
Chief Watkins has been in charge
of the local department for seven
years and for three years has. held
the honor place in West Virginia
having the smallest fire losses. He
has never been lower than second
place in this contest. Fairmont goes
on record as having from as to 100
fires q year of various sorts, some
small and some larger, all depending
upon the length Of time 1t requires
for the IRE department to get to the
scene. During the last seven years
fires which might have caused large
losses have been carefully and sue
cessfully ahndled by the chief. The
largest IRE within number OF years
laws the Cook hospital fire which
threatened total destruction Of the
ilding and perhaps others near.

Still More in
Country Fields

WASHINGTON, April S.-census
experts believe that the 1920 census
will show that despite the rush OF
country residents to the cities, there
are still about four million more
country people than city jewellers in
the United States.
The census will also show, they
think, the fallacy OF the belief, widely
held, that the rural districts of the
United States are decreasing in popu.
lation.
The experts believe the 1920 census
will show about 10s,500,000 people in
the United States.
The average increase in population
in the 154 cities, already tabnlated, is
21.4 percent. If the 1910 census fig.
urc. OF 91,972,266, is increased by
21.4 it shows the population today to
be 111,634,3S0. But the census stu.
dents point out that cities have grown
more rapidly than country towns and
farming counties.
The last estimate of population
made by the Bureau of Census was in
July, 1919, for that year. 1t gave a
population of 106,S71, 294. This figure
was gain OF 100000 year for nine
years. At this rate in 1920 there
should be 10s,500, 900 inhabitants.
To estimate the rate OF growth of
rural communities, experts have taken
this total OF 10S,500,000 and subtracted
from 1t 51,744,7S7. This latter figure
Is the estimated number of city dwell
lers obtained by multiplying the 1910
census figure for cities by 21.4 per
cent, the new rate OF growth for cities
established by the 1920 census thus
far.
This computation gives the number
Of rural Inhabitants at 55,126,5o7 and
shows the rate of gain since 1910 to
be 81 per cent.
Therefore, say the experts, OF the
probable total Of 10s 500 900 people in
the United States, 51,744,7S7, or 42.4S
per cent of them, live in the cities;
and 55,126,5o7, or 51.5S per cent in
the country.
It must be remembered, however,
that only smaller cities have been
tabulated to date and their growth is
probably less than the larger cities.
Thus 1t is expected that the final
average rate of increase for cities will
be over the Fla per cent shown to
date, and the final country increase
under 81 per cent.

I'm for any good man who put in his ticks
For the Common People in 'Nfnety-six
Against materialism.
I'm for any good man who stood for the right
OF human animals, brown or white.
Against Imperialism.
IN for any good man like that, my son,
And only ask you to show me one!
I'm for any good man who is on the level
In the constant war on the money devil,
And all his incantations.
l m for any good man (among Democrats)
Who has served grape juice to the diplomats,
Despite their inclinations.
Such a man as that / would scarcely shun,
And only ask you to show me one!
I'm for any good man of the Midwest style
With a wide face trimmed with winning SMILE
And ability to work 1t.
IN for any good man with the gift Of tongues
And capable pair OF seasoned lungs
From the old Chautauqua circuit
To support such a man would be merely fun.
But really must ask you TO show me one.
I'm for any good man who has the habit
Till he runs by instinct, same as rabbit, :.
AS easy and as graceful.
I'm for any good man who has triple scars
From the bitter campaigns of former wars,
And guess that gays a face-full!
Such man might, NEEDED, be induced to run.
If there be any such, but show me-ONE!

N ENAIOR Borah and Senator johnson have been prompt
in setting forth their views to what the election
meant The Borah position is set forth as follows
The overwhelming and engung vote for the republican
cket was the judgment of the American people against this
league other political alliance combination with Euro
pean powers the senator declared he league was the issue
He asserted the result of the election absolute rejec
ton OF all political alliances leagues with foreign powers
Borah partly right and partly wrong He correct
saying that the vote mandate against this
country into the League of Nations under the treaty
saes The issue that subject clearly defined and the
verdict was given The will of the electorate obeyed
But as to al political alliances leagues" Mr. Borah
incorrect Senator Harding numerous occasions
favored some form OF association of nations for The
republican platform also calls for something of that
fore the president elect and his party clearly committed
TO that course AS to what that should be Mr. Harding
the logical judge and should have his way what people
voted for.
There will of course be difficulties in the way of new asso-
cation Article 70 is obstacle but greater that the
allies cannot nvadae part the treaty without nvada
ing all unless all parties including Germany agreeable to
the changes The sticking point will be how to satisfy both Ger
many and France.
Necessarily Mr. Harding having elected man to
take the lead He chosen president for that purpose
should have clear field The Johnson the
democrats should give him chance and hold him RESPONSE
biy mistakes made There has enough discussion
OF the subject from political angle What needed
settlement of the matter.

LIvIN' RIGHT AT HOME

(By Frank L. StantoA)
Tn right here where the thrifty larks
Are flyin' Ger the loan;
The rise or fall of stocks may come
Calamity may beat the dram,
But joys for all. I've got some;
I'm livin' right at home.
I'm mighty glad never was
Quite rich enough to roam:
Why should l, when the tables spread
And every day Gods grace is said
Where there's blessing on the bread
Right here, at home-at homer
It's good world from first to last!
With honey in the comb
Sweet-drippin from the old-time hives
The fields where honest toiling thrives.
And the sweet love OF patient lives
Seem better-here, at home
