WHY HAVE CATARRH?
So disagreeable to Yourself and All About You.

Catarrh is generally conceded to be constitutional disease Therefore it re- euires constitutional remedy like Hoods Sars aparilla which reaches every part of the system by thoroughly purifying and en- r'ching the blood. This medicine removes the cause of the trouble, which if not checked may lead to more serious disease
 In A6 years of use and test Hoods Sar- saparilla has relieved many cases as told by voluntary letters of commendation. Why not get bottle today and give it trial? It combines economy and eff ciency. Keep Hoods Pills on hand as family cathartic.-Adv.

STEEL CAR PLANT
 READY IN SPRING Fifteen to Twenty-Five Pieces
 of Rolling Stock to Be Daily Output

The pressed steel car plant which the Chickasaw Shipbuilding and Car Company is building at Fairfield, con tiguous to the plate works, and as a component part of it, will be in full operation in the early spring.
 The capacity will be fifteen to twen- tyfive complete cars per day.
 The plant is already beginning to as- sume finished form so far as the buildings are concerned But for the be expected from time to time opera tions would be in evidence prior to spring, but these days must be fig ured on. sN
 The car erecting shed and the paint shop are already showing the finished form. The foundry building is also under construction.
 LOCAL METAL
 The steel for the buildings is being fashioned in the mills at Fairfield. In fact the car plant and the plate mills will be neatly dovetailed. When the plate mill is not manufacturing plates for ships and other purposes; the same machinery will turn out steel for the sides and underpinning of the steel freight cars.
 The cost of the plan IS the smallest item. It will employ many skilled me- chanics whose wages will help swell the pay rolls of the district. It will serve to increase population and it will add to the prestige of the district as n fabricator of finished steel product
 The district is especially interested from a transportation standpoint. It will be of the greatest advantage to have numbers of steel freight cars turned out here tosenter into the trans portation of the immense industrial tonnage that is always offered. x
 CAPACITY
 Fifteen to twenty-five pressed steel ears per diem means a new daily incre- ment in transportation capacity of 750 to 1s250 tons Twenty five of these cars will move the daily production of three of the average blast furnaces of Nthe district. The monthly production of the car plant at the maximum means an increased transportation capacity of 37.500 tons per month. That would prove a considerable factor in moving the products of the district to the con- 'sumer

NAMED until he retired and moved

GREEN rs FOR BONUS
Congressman From This District
Says Bill Is Making Progress

Congressman w. r. Green of this
district, who is an ardent supporter
of the four-fold plan for soldier COM
pensation, predicts its passage by
congress. The plan follows closely
that proposed by the American Lee
gion. In a statement concerning
the measure Congressman Green
says:
The bill is progressing favorably
and as rapidly I think as could be
expected with such important legis-
lation. The bill contains all of the
four plans presented by the Ameri-
can Legion representatives to the
committee and possibly another will
be added giving an option of taking
out an endowment insurance policy
which may be used, after the expira-
ton of given time, for obtaining a
loan. The committee voted not to
include those who did not serve more
than sixty days and to exclude the
commissioned officers and all those
receiving while in the service addi-
tional compensation beyond the ord
mary pay of the enlisted men and
non-commissioned officers, it is hop
ed that the total amount necessary
to be appropriated will not exceed
81 $50, 100000. Plans for raising
this money have not yet been defin-
itely settled but the one most advo-
Gated is a one-half percent tax on all
sales except farm products sold by
the producer or growers, which IL is
believed would produce about $780,
900, 200. I favor raising the remain
der by increasing the supertaxes on
incomes above $50, 000.''

standard bearer of our party should
be a man who is big enough to carry
out the aforesaid principles. He
should have the wisdom and fore
sight required to safely pilot our ma
ton through the troubles and diff
culties which now beset it on every
hand. The standard bearer should
be a man of unimpeachable loyalty
to the nation, with its people and its

the force of purpose and character
sufficient to enable him to overcome

I'VE believe that in Hon. Frank o.

Illinois, we have man who pos
sesses the qualities above named. and
we believe that should he be nomi-
mated and elected president of the
United States that he will bring to
that office the necessary wisdom and

clusion we state that the Hon. Frank
o. Lowden to be our first and only
choice for the republican nominee for
president of the United States.
The convention was harmonious
affair from start to finish. There
had been no effort made to secure
delegates for any particular eandi-
date for president, but from all indi-
cations Lowden of Illinois was the
unanimous choice OF the convention.
