who can justly take place and hold
1t alongside of any Of the men who
have been leaders, from time to time,
in the Equity movement which every
one comedies was a sound farmers
movement. The Equity program
which was the establishment of farm-
ers elevators. shipping associations.
warehouses, etc, on Il voluntary CO.
operative basis Is the original farmers
program in North Dakota. Many well
meaning people are now supporting
Townleyism because they do not real
ize what Il vast difference there Is
between voluntary cooperative effort
and cooperation compelled by law, as
advocated by the leaders Of TowuIey-
ism.
All of the men mentioned here as
leaders in opposition to Townleyism
in the great political contest that Is
now on In this state have an indis-
putable record for consistency in their
expressed interest in promoting the
welfare Of the farmer. Their word
can always be relied upon. Their
public pledges have always been made
good. They have promised to see
that all of the industrial experiments
now undertaken by the state govern
ment are given fair trial in harmony
with the representations that were
made to the voters by the present adj
miniStrntiOn when the launching Of
these experiments was approved. They
have promised rigid economy In pub
lie affairs. They like all other tax
payers are interested in that, and will
therefore naturally see to it that the
promise is made good.
This is the record of the opposing
forces in this campaign as to that
part of the farmers program which is
to be realized through state under
takngS. Which Of two sides are to be
trusted To keep their pledges? Which
OF the two sides will do most to en-
sure the success Of the mills. the ele-
vatOrs and the state bank? Which Of
the two sides offers the greatest guar
antics for an honest administration.
free from partisan politics and graft
and spoils, of the state industries?
Which Of the two sides are best equip
ped to take up the battle against the
steadily increasing tax burden?

 ATTACK IN DARK
 Owing to thunderstorm the electric
 lighting system in Graham has been se- riously damaged and the town lights have been going on and off at intervals. During the attack by the masked mob the lights went off. Captain Fowler stated that this was due to the storm and not a part of the mob's scheme. Later the lights came back, but are
 shining dimly.
 My entire company is greatly grieved over the death of Ray and the injury of the two other men, but in fact we were but obeying orders. We have been placed in the jail to guard the prisoners and to us our duty is plain. Although greatly distressed, we shall not slacfxen our vigil. We are particularly grfeved because the men shot were innocent by standers,' Captain Fowler said. Some of the members of the company jority of them are inexperienced in army service. Practically all members of the company are new to machine gun serv- ice, and have had very little training. The Durham company was the first state militia company mustered into service following the war, and it is the only machine gun company in North Carolina.

 Only few of the strikers here have left the premises, and those remaining still occupy the houses of the com pany. Some of the strikers do not be- long to the union. but desist from working, fearing scorn and punishment by the union leaders.
 There is refusal on the part of all to do so much as clean up the mines at the request of the manage ment, to say nothing of the refvsal to mine coal.

 Therefore. the public should look well into the cause which leads to this sus- pension. Simply an effort on the part )f officials of the United Mine Work CTS Association to get gain from the iscontent, disorder and idleness brought about by agitation.
 This stoppage, this unholy interruption is not only causing uneasiness and de- privaton of coal for local consumption but is holding back an inflow of money to this district and city. which has been enjoyed by the people here in all lines of trade and commerce.
 The public must recognize the fact hat steady work on the part of all workers is urgently required by the en- tire world during this period of recon struction and reorganization when the enormous destruction and disorganiza- ton wrought by the world war in all countries and affecting all industries must be counteracted by unusual indus try and perseverance. Restrictions af- fecting the output of coal is an econo- mic crime.

How to Look and Feel
 Bright in Hot Weather

When depressed by the heat and you want to freshen up for the afternoon or evening. just bathe the face in lotion made by dissolving an of pure powdered saxolite in half pint of witch hazel. You will find this more refreshing than an hours rest.
 As a wrinkle-remover the saxolite lotion is remarkably successful Its action is all most magical. The deepest furrows, as we'll as the finest lines-whether due to age, ill., ness, weather or worry-are immediately af- fected. Enlarged pores are reduced, flabby skin is drawn in.' facial contour is inn proved wonderfully. The simple ingredients of course can be had at any drugstore, and you need not hesitate to try the lotion, as it will not harm any skin in the least.-Adv.

Robert Milligan Sustains Fractured Skull in Fight
 With Fellow Workman

Robert Milligan is an occupant of the Hillman hospital this morning in seri- ously injured condition and Jesse Low sry is being held in the city jail as the result of a fight which took place at the plant of the Kilby Frog and Switch Company at North Birmingham yester- lay afternoon.
 About 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon Jesse Lowery walked into police head marters and stated that he had had ight with a man and had hurt nm pretty bad, and he guessed that they lad better lock him up
 Police officials had no record or the natter, so Lowery was told to go to lis home and if he was needed that he would be sent for. About an hour later Thief Shirley received telephone call Q the effect that Robert Milligan was tt the Hillman hospital in dying con- lition. having sustained fractured skull when he was hit over the head with a hammer by Jesse Lowery.
 Chief Shirley immediately had Lowery placed in the city jail and charge of assault with intent to murder was en- tered against him. At the time of the arrest police officers say that Lowery stated that he had struck Milligan in self-defense. Milligan had first struck at him with the hammer, he stated. and he had snatched the hammer from Mil- ligan's hands and hit him with 1t to keep from being hit himself
 Both Milligan and Lowery are em- ployed as machinsts at the Kilby Frog and Switch Company at North Birming- ham, and are regarded as being very peaceable and hard-working men. At an early hour this morning hospital au- thorities stated that Milligan was in a very serious condition and that it would be several hours yet before they could ell whether or not he had chance for recOyery

Ten Years Mun3er Than
 His Years

Doesn't it make you feel good-cause you to straight en up and feel "chesty"- when someone guesses your age at ten ars or so younger than you really are? You look into your mirror, smile with satisfac- tion and say to yourself: Well, he didn't make such . bad guess, at that"
 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 80 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60. While none of us can stay the years nor stop time, we should all make an heroic effort to suc- cessfully resist the effects of time by ever keeping our vitality at par.

PRAISES BANKS HERE FOR A|D GIVEN TO
 COTTON GROWERS

J. Dabney Day, vice. president of the First National Bank of Los Angeles, and chairman of the cotton commit tee of the Los Angeles clearing house, in summarizing the cotton situation and the work which the Los Angeles clearing house banks are doing to aid in taking care of the cotton crop for California, Arizona and New Mexico, points out that all that the Los Angeles clearing house banks can do is merely to aid the banks in the cotton dis tricts to carry on the financing of cotton and remove from their should CTS a small part of the load.
 Mir. Day said: "The Los Angeles banks have been asked to carry only a small proportion of this financial burden which the banks in the cotton districts have assumed. Upl to this date, we have been called upon to ad- vance less than $1,000,000 to aid the banks in the cotton growing districts to gather, store and insure the present crop. Therefore tho credit for the protection of the present cotton crop Is not due to the banks of Los Angeles, but to those banks in the district which have aided so materially in caring for the grower from the very beginning of the planting season.
 For instance. there is one bank in the cotton growing section with de- posits ranging between $4,000,000 and $6,000, 900. which is now carrying for the cotton growers, approximately $1.250000. The various banks in the Salt Diver district have loaned this season more than S9,0o0,000 on the cotton crop and the same condition exists in other producing distriots.
