Nearly everybody In Southwest Mis-
souri, either knows or has heard of
the Rev. Parker Moon, who for full
half century has devoted his life and
talents to Sunday school and organi-
cation work for the Society of Friends
or Quakers.
'Uncle Parker" as he is more famil-
iarly known, came from fine old rug
ged Quaker stock, and there is not a
better known or more highly respect
ed citizen ia that part of the state.
In referring to his remarkable res
toration to health by Tanlac, he said:
"About five years ago / suffered
a general breakdown. My principal
trouble was nervous indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and my food
seldom agreed with me, and had to
live on very restricted diet. / suf-
fered a great deal from headaches
and dizzy spells; had severe pains
across the small of my back and was
badly constipated most of the time.

THE PRESIDENT
COULD DO IT

If the coming winter is as severe
as has been predicted the distress of
the unemployed and their families will
be acute.
This fact is SO manifest that the
president of the United States, with
all OF his cares and burdens, deems it
necessary to take personal interest
in the plans for affording necessary re-
lief.
Believing that the president has an
open mind, we presume to offer sug-
gestion.
Let him issue proclamation calling
upon all of the people of our country
who own motor ears to set aside one
Sunday in month to be known and
observed as gasless Sunday, and to be
continued until there is no longer
necessity for its observance.
In other words, let every car remain
in its garage that day and night.
Then let the owners of the cars vol
utnarily contribute the price of the gas
and oil they thus save that day toward
fund for feeding the hungry and
furnishing warm clothes for those who
are unable to procure them.
Let the enormous sum thus realized
be turned over to the Salvation Army
md the Volunteers of America for dis
tribution when and where it is most
needed.
We suggest distribution by these
Two organizations because they are in
lose and constant touch with the poor
and distressed, and are, we believe,
better fitted for the work than any
# the numerous charitable organiza-
lions.
Keeping a car idle on Sunday would
| work hardship on no one assuming
Of course, that doctors, undertakers.
etc, would be exempt where necessity
arises for the legitimate use of car.
The contributing of the gas and oil
thus saved would not be an expense to
the car owner as he would simply be
| contributing the amount for the relief
# distress instead of burning it up
on the road.
A Sunday at home might be refresh
ing to millions of people who are al
ways on the move.
An hour at church might be both re-
freshing and beneficial.
The president can do tiff he will
1t would be a small-minded citizen
indeed who would not respond to so
laudable and reasonable request from
the most exalted rulers in the world.

WHAT'S
YOUR
IDEA?

What is the most crying need of
the hour in this town need that
could be supplied by our local author
tiles?
We would like to have some answers
to this question for publication in the
columns of our paper. The answers
should be brief and to the point.
Our locol authorities are of our best
citizenry. They are eminently prac-
teal, and are capable of absorbing and
making the most of the diversified i
IDEAS that would thus be presented TO
them.
Think the matter over with care, and
then write US your opinion of what is
most needed in this town.
No matter how brilliant your per-
sonal idea may be, it can be of no
value to the community unless you
make it public.
That is what we seek-publicity of
ideas
1t is good for us all.
Spring yours!

Waiting
ON GEORGE

Let George reduce prices hrst.
want few more pickings."
That is the attitude of the average
man in business today, nearly three
years after the armistice.
1t is the reason why we. are in the
midst of period of abnormal business
depression.
It is the reason why six millions of
our men are out of employment.
1t is the condition which neither con-
to correct.
1t is the attitude of the dog in the
manger.
This country is made up of produc-
ers, transporters, wholesalers, retail
ers and consumers.
The consumer wants to see a reduc-
ton in the price of every commodity
except that which he himself produces
and offers fo sale. On the latter he
clings to his high prices.
Railroad officials want to force
reduction in wages and salaries upon
| their employees, but do we see a de-
sire on the part of any of these high
officials to make correspondingly re-
duction in freight rates or their own
swollen salaries?
The manufacturer clings tenaciously
to the last penny of his profits, yet he
is strong for reducing the cost of raw
materials he buys and for cutting the
wages of his employees.
The retailer is keen on pulling down
| prices in the wholesale markets, yet
| he loses no sleep in his efforts to re
duce his own.
The salaried man, those in the pro-
fessions and the wage Garner are just
warming for an opportunity to buy
their food, clothing and all Of their
other necessities for less money, but
they resist even the suggestion of a
curtailment of their own incomes.
In fact, none of Gus are exempt,
speaking as class. We are all tarred
|
We are perfectly willing, even anx-
ious, to have George do the cutting and
flashing of prices, but when it comes
to hitting the toboggan ourselves we
simply can't see it. Therefore, no
one sees it-except under the compul-
sion of necessity.
Every fellow wants to continue sell
ing the product of his hands or his
brains at a high price, but most of us
have concluded that we will shut down
on spending until prices in other lines
reach a lower level. In other words,
everybody is virtually on a buying
strike against everybody else but
himself.
| The result is very little buying
very little demand for productions
tremendous shrinkage in the demand
for labor
Because of this shrinkage six mil
lions of men are out of employment.
The remedy is in our hands.
When we are willing to see the light
OF reason and accept general scaling
down of our own prices along with
those of others, the purse strings of
| the people will be loosened, normal
buying will be resumed, the unemploy-
ed will be summoned back to their
work, and prosperity will be with us
again.
But as long as we all wait fer George
to do it will not be done.

REDUCTIONS
ORDERED IN
RESERVIST
OFFICERS

Washington, D. CA recent order
in the Navy Department makes man
datory reductions of naval reservists
as follows officers from $3.50 to
1900; medical officers from 1850 to
300; supply officers from $3.50 to 200;
aviators from $3.50 to 1000. In addi-
ton, an elimination is ordered of 800
dentists, 100 constructors, 100 civil
engineers and 60 chaplains. Reserve
officers in the merchant marine class
will be reduced so per cent; the pres
ent number is approximately 10000.
Some idea of the savings by this re-
duction may be estimated from the
fact that the pay of reservists range
from $12 to $1,000 a year, according
to their classifcations.
