Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

APPELLANTS Tor Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
he public, there is one preparation that
las been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
Influence of DR.. Kilmcr's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
.rominent Life Insurance Companies, in
in interview on the subject, made the as.
tonishing statement that one reason why
80 many applicants for insurance are re-
tected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
,arge majority of those whose appica-
lions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
1t all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
hilmer q Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

TWENTY-EIGHT CENTS
COST OF 1918 COTTON

Washington, d. c., March 24.-A pre-.
liminary report on the cost of cotton
production for 1918, just issued by the
United States Department of Agricul.
ture, shows a l"bulk line" cost of %
cents per pound of lint. AT price fixed
on this basis, IS per cent of the cotton
production on the SAG farms from fhich
cost figures were obtained would have
been produced at profit, and 68 per
cent of the farmers concerned would
have made money. AT a price fixed on
the basis Of average cost of production
-23 eents-only 935l of the S42 farm
ers, or All per cent, would have made a
profit.
The data from which these figures
were gathered by the Office of Farm
Management during May and June,
1919, In parts of Alabama, Georgia,
South Carolina, and Texas. The records,
which are for the 1918 crop, show in
detail for each of the S42 farms the
expenditures that should be charged to
the cotton crop for labor, seed fertilizer,
manure, baskets, sheets, and sacks used
in picking, ginning, bags, ties, use of
land, use Of machinery, insurance, taxes
and overhead. These figures have just
been tabulated, and the results of the
survey will soon be published in full.
II was found that the net cost of pro.
duction ranged from 8 cents a pound to
$l.07. Three farms, totaling only S5
acres, produced cotton at the minimum
cost. Only % farms produced at cost
of less than IA cents, while over so show
costs ranging from 90 cents to SlO7
per pound.
The average yield of lint cotton for
all districts was 227 pounds per acre
There was variation in yield from 7s
pounds per acre for the lowest produc-
ing ten farms to 4sl for the high pro.
ducing ten farms.
Yield per acre, in general, shows a con-
trolling influence upon cost per pound
Where yields were high the cost per
pound was usunlly found to be COM
parativeiy low, and vice versa. For ex-
ample, the operator who il found to pro.
duce 800 pounds of cotton per acre at
cost OF 500 per acre, produces at the
rate of 20 cents per pound, while the
operator whose yield is but $50 pounds,
though he keeps his acre cost down to
$s5, produces at the rate of 80 cents
per pound. .... ..s 9,
It is pointed out that the bulk line"
as determined for these s42 cotton
farms, almost comedies with the price
actually received for the crop in ques.
tion, namely, about % cents. The sea.
son of 1918 admittedly was an excep.
tionally prosperous one for the cotton
growers, and only IL per cent of the
farmers from whom cost figures were
obtained grew cotton at cost in ex
cess of the price that prevailed for the
1918 crop.

Columbia, March 22,-Rear Admiral
Samuel McGowan., the principal speak

this afternoon, stated his opposition to
the bonus.
He appealed for "a citizenship that
stands for law and order and the sta
bility of the republic, that counts and
cares for what it can give rather than
what it can get"
"America's contribution to world
peace and world civilization manifest
cd: itself then. in physical suffering and
death. The same basic manliness needs
now to be applied towards establishing
throughout the land a better citizen
ship, citizenship that stands for law
and order and the stability of the re-
public, that counts and cares for what
it can give rather than what it can get.
In this way alone throughout this try.
ing time off, reconstruction and amid
the dull monotony of daily drudgery,
in this way alone. can we of the legion
show ourselves to, be worthy comrades
of those who sailed overseas never to
return, those brave souls whose stare
have turned to gold" the admiral said.

N0NPARTISAN LEAGUE .-. -
l. MEETS In MINNESOTA

st. Paul, March 24.--Hwe will capture
Minnesota in 1920"
This prediction made over year ago
10y A. e. Townley, President of the
National Noupartissn League, was be-
ing weighed here today, by q state
convention OF leagie members.
The league convention was called for
ths purpose of putting a nonpartisan
league ticket into the field for the
state, primary to- be held June 30. The
league will operate as distinct political
party in this state, it was indicated.
Since Townley made the prediction
the league has spent thousands of dol
lars organizing farmers and laboring
men in every nook and corner of the
state. A young army of organizers has
canvassed it's length and breath.
A Nohpartissn Working Peoples Po-
litical League has been organized by
labor leaders to work largely with the
Nonpartisan Leagne-but not as part
of IL. The constitution of the NATIONAL
Nonpsrtisan League allows only Bona
fde" farmers TO become members. &
BY tomorrow night the league will
have announced its ticket for the
state contest and one of the bitterest
Political fights in the states history will
be on. 81. '',

SITUATION IN IRELAND IS
REGARDED AS SERIOUS

London, March, 24,-The Dublin cor.
respondent of the London Times de.
scribes the situation in Ireland in the
darkest colors. He says the outlook
is serious and that conditions in TIE
west and south are extremely grave.
The position, bad last week, is now
definitely worse, and public feeling il
40 fiercely infamed as to become quite
irrational. The most outrageous crimes
against the government are accepted
as gospel truth.
The correspondent says the Sim Fein
asks the country to. accept the mon
4trous theory that Lord Mayor Mac
Curtain, of Cork, was killed by ac-
tual agents of the government. He
describes the over night riot in Dub.
lin IA another danger signal, and says
It is impossible to get an impartial
account Of the incident, the popular
version being that the soldiers pro-
yoked and assaulted civilians.
The correspondent learns that the
soldiers were stoned by a crowd be.
cause they left the theater singing
the national anthem as a protest
against the failure of the theater or
chestra to play 1t. He adds that pub.
lie opinion throughout the country is
exssperated by tho wild charges against
the police and soldiers, who, he de-
clsres, would hardly be human If
they did not resent the campaign OF
murder and calumny.

Big Questions Facing Colby.

Washington, March 23.-Four big in
ternational problems today faced Balm
bridge Colby, whose nomination was
confirmed by the senate yesterday, and
who today took the oath of office
One of these problems concerns the
Turkish situation. This governments
view of the settlement will be trans.
mitted to the allies within twenty -four
rours, it is believed. The United States
will urge that the Turks be permanent
ly elected from Constantinople.
Then there is the Russian situation.
Arrangements are being sought by the
allies whereby unrestricted trade with
soviet Russia will be allowed, at the
sisk of the traders.
Another problem is that of the Ad-
riatie. A reply is due from the allies
in response to the last communication
on the subject from President Wilsin,
N which he answered their arguments
and reiterated his opposition to their
scheme for q settlement.
And probably the greatest is the
peace treaty. One of Secretary Colby's
frst big tasks will be the negotiation
of motus vivendi agreements with the
allies and Germany, which will safe
guard Americas rights under the Yer
.ailles treaty until the peace pact is
finally ratified or rejected.

STEVENSON CERTAIN
DEMOCRA WILL WIN

sons for this belief. Mr.. Stevenson

There has been q pessimistic wave as

week Just gone by, the skies have
brighteEed greatly. The republican Or.
gauization in the house has been SO.

bers ion the matter of the bill to give

is the Same thing that happened ten
years ago, on the same day of March
when Uncle Joe Cannon was over
thrownt and VI was the beginning of the
end Of republican control of congress
and foreshadowed democratic victory
which was realized next fall, at the
election: Furthermore, the republican
house has set on foot IL Investigations

place along side of it the. bareeonness Of
