BUILDING UP A COUNTY TOWN

Every town or city or village has
a temperament of its own. Some
communities are quietly satisfied
with what they have already at
tanned. They live along indolently
and comfortably. Or if they desire
advancement, they are so busy and
burdened with daily work, that they
find neither time nor thought to
give to problems of development.
Other communities, like many
people, are always reaching ahead
into the future. No matter if they
already have achieved fine results,
they see greater attainment farther
on. They dream and plan and work
for some broader expansion and bet
ter advantages and facilities of liv-
ing 1t is fair to say that Paris is
one of that type.
When a town is ambitious for sfur-
Their development, it has its choice
of two kinds of aims to work for. 1t
can strive for manufacturing Indus
tries. or it can place its principal
reliance upon the resources OF the
nearby country and try to develop
them, and it can promote intensive
development of its own educational
and social advantages.
The increased population that re
suits from encoura cement of manu-
featuring industries may not be able
to maintain the cultural advantages
of a town at the previously existing
level. So while some towns ad-
vanced in population and business,
they may lose in educational and
--o.;dnpfiaf conditiOnS
A good mat featuring industry
employing skilled labor is a benefit
to any town. Any movement for
rural progress will do well to con-
slider the possibility of securing in
.dustries of that type. But its best
nope comes from providing the IA
.cilities. the comforts, and the ad-
vantages of modern civilization, and
from developing the natural resourc-
~es of the locality.

THIS RIGHTEOUS JUDGE UN
DERSTANDS SOME THINGS

A supreme court jury in New
York decided that William McCue
was not the toughest kid in Hell's
Kitchen and awarded him $500
damages against the Russell Sage
Foundation and publishers of a
book entitled, "Boyhood and Law
lessness," in which his picture ap-
peared over the caption.
In asking $500 damages, the
boys complaint set forth that in
1914 a photographer appeared III
Hells Kitchen district where he
lived and took his picture on the
ground that he wanted boy Scout
pictures"
McCue, who is now of age, said
he was an alter boy in st. Ambrose;
church at the time and has never
been arrested or charged with de-
linquency in any form.
In denying a motion 10 set aside
the verdict, Justice Ford said
There is not a scintilla of evidence
that he was tough at all, it is wick
ed libel.
That is tho great trouble with
/, these movements. They think thai
where there is poverty there must
be criminality. AS a matter OF
fact in those humble little homes
in the very section pictured viii
be found more Christian piety. NOR.
devotion to duty, more Of the ster
ling qualities Of humanity than viii
| be found in. the mansions on Fiftf
f! Avenue
These people from their heigh
of self conscious righteousness anf
superior excellence peer down OF
and discuss humble beings a:
| though they were so many cObble
stones in the street, without any
| regard at all for their feelings OF
their rights in the community"

The Soy Bean.

The soy bean, almost since its intro
duction into America. has been ex-
plotted at different times as coffee
berry," coffee bean," new coffee
plant" domestic coffee berry," and
"new domestic coffee berry" For many
years the soy bean has been used to
a slight extent in Europe, especially
Switzerland, as substitute for coffee.
In japan and sOut',orn Russia the soy
bean is prepared dis a coffee substitute
and placed on the market. This prod
uct is ground very fine and has much
the same appearance as coffee.

TROUBLE IN DE LAND!

The Winchester Water Works
Company served notice on the Coun-
ell that unless the water bills are
paid by July 5 it would cut off the
city hydrants. The Council ordered

off. The refusal to pay The city bill
came from the rates asked by the
Water Works Company for this
year, tie contract fol the last year
having expired.

CUT THIS OUT AND TAKE IT

A man often forgets the exact
name of the article he wishes to
purchase, and as a last resort takes
something else instead. This is al
ways disappoint and unsatisfac-

make sure of getting Chamberlain's

so satisfactory for constipation and

the work Of . special commission
Appointed BY the president. New
ertheless in the scramble for cabi-
net positions, the friends OF those
who want positions in the cabinet
and want to eliminate Mr.. Hoover
because of the suggestion that he
will be the only Western man 6hos-
on are beginning to unite against
Mr.. Hoover.
The understanding here is that
Senator Harding is thinking of MIR.
Hoover for secretary Of the inter-
Tor particularly because Mr.. Hoover
lis q western man and is . success
full engineer who could deal with
the great problems Of the interior
department Mr.. Hoover may or
may not be selected but his pres
ence in Marion is annoying to his
opponents in the senate who really
fear he will be appointed. Until
these opponents began to take 1t
seriously. the impression was not
we'll defined that Mr.. Hoover would
be chosen. The activity against
Mr.. Hoover is the strongest EVIL
dence thus far that President-elect
Harding has him strongly in mind
for the cabinet.
Why Harding Wants Him.
It isn't the view of Herbert
Hoover on the League of Nations
or European conditions which is
influencing Mr.. Harding. The close
friends Of the president-elect say
, he wants MIR. Hoover because he
believes the country has conf
dence in the former food admins
traitor and expects him to choose
men of Hoover's executive ability.
Some significant things have
been happening here, too, on the
League OF Nations question which
when pieced together with the &C.
currence at Marion reveal Mr..
! Harding as anxious to have Amer
lea center her plans for an inter-
national association around the
court which Elihu Root helped to
create. Mr.. Harding has wanted to
know whether the court couldn't
be sufficient and the purpose of the
conference at Marion between Mr..
Harding and Mr.. Root and the
meeting between Senator Fall and
Mr.. Root is to find out whether the
court can be made to stand indie
pendently Of the League Of Ma
tons. Mr.. Hughes will be asked
his ideas on the same thing.
Shows Firmness.
The president-elect wants ad-
vice that will help him harmonic
the discordant elements in his
party. He knows how far Sena-
tors Borah and Johnson are COM
mitted on the subject of an interna-
tional court. They signed the
round robin in March. 1919, which
The Rock Island Argus and daily union. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1920-1923, 1920-12-14

pledged America 70 an internation-
q association Of some kind and Mr..
Harding's idea a. reflected here is
that II the international court can
bring about that cooperation Of ma
tons, Messrs. Borah and Johnson
will have TO approve 1t. At pres
ent the court IS a creature Of the
league and judges are chosen
through the council and assembly
of the league. Mr.. Harding is
struggling to find = middle ground
for compromise but in his efforts
to do SO he has already shown such
firmness as to make the irrecon-
cilable group IN Washington rath-
er uneasy. That's the latest de-
velopment in the national capital
and it is fraught with the deepest
significance for the future.

Man is as Old as his Heart

For when the heart fails to cir
culate the blood, the effect upon
the tissues is the same as when
the arteries shrivel so they can no
longer convey the blood. Every
living cell is continually produc-
ing poisons and if left to accum-
ulate in the cell these poisons
depress. A person is first weak,
thsn senile, and finally comes
death. Ono soon feels the re-
freshing influence of new blood,
and the bodily strength gained
by taking Golden Medical Dis
covery.' This temperance herbal
tonic was prescribed by DR..
Pierce over so years ago. Try the
