IMMEDIATE RELIEF
FOR RAILROADS
President Has Acted Since
Writing of This
Article

II has been stated by high govern
ment Officials that the administr alton
is considering the possibillty of pro-
Wiling financial relief for the rail-
roads by beginning ths funding OF
railroad claims without awaiting
congressional action.
President Harding, II was explained
has the authority to fund ths railroad
claims without further leaisAtion. The
President, officials declared, may sell
$3.50, 900, 900 worth Of car trust
certificates held by the railroad
administration whenever market con
dItions permit OF tneir disposal at par
He could make these sales, officials
added. either with or without the
assistancs OF the war finance corpo-
ration, which under pending legislat-
ion, Is the agency designed TO handle
the funding operations
The return from the sale of the GER
titicates, ,amouting iu The neigh 5orhood
OF s400 900, 000. then would be avail
abba for further railroad financing.
Sale OF the railroad securities, 1t
was Indicated, would await satisfaet-
ory ma arket conditions, but the admi Il
istration WAS understood to believe
that an early return of the market to
a 8 percent basis was not far distant.
1t is Lelieved by many that the
! Immediate funding of the railroad
claims would 20 far toward reducing
unemployment, as 1t isc onservstively
estimated that with financial relief
obtained it would mean the employ
nent OF million more men.
A considerable part OF the existing
unemployment, Il is said, ia due to the
position In which the railroads find
themselves; short OF funds and unable
to made their normal purchases and
their normal repair and equipment

Will Speak at Jackson in Big
Vardaman Rally
Sept. 29th

jackson. Miss, sThe announcement
by committee on arrangements for
the Vardaman rally, scheduled 10 take
place here Sept. 20 that ex gov Theo.
G. Bilbo would be one of the speakers
on the occasion has been the subject
of much comment, but has been
received as a matter of fcourse by those
on the Inside OF state iactional politics
Referring to his recent political
maneuvers against vardaman, he said
that was merely family affair and
was simply the crossing of the ambl-
tlons OF two men of the same political
faction he would not he said, lend
himself TO any movement 10 beat
vardaman by possibly throwing the
Senatneshlp TO the other faction.
There are some among the political
prophets who predict that, II varda-
man ia elected ,Blbo will 90 In
against Pat Harrison.
The Vardaman rally viii of course
be the beginning OF a state wide org
anization OF the friends of his can
ddacy, and II seems TO foreshadow
au active and aggressive campaign in
his interest 10 be waQcd In every
county of the state,ln which It is prob
ably contemplated trained political
speakers will be put on The stump.
There is no doubt that many OF the
prominent Vardamdn men who broke
with him on bis war policies and
voted for Harrison are returning TO
his standard on the ground that the
war Issues are now dead and that new
and live issues have taken their place

BLOOD
WORKS HAVOC
Guides Pepto-Mangan Makes Red
Blood; Liquid and Tablet Form.

When blood becomes thin and weak
it is due to a falling off in the number
of red blood cells. 1t is easily recog--
nized by pa1lid skin or a blemished
complexion, loss of appetite or unnat-
ural irritability and a sensation OF
weakness. 1t is not dangerous at first.
In fact, many people scarcely notice
it and go on for days, thinking they
will be better the next day
The great danger is in the possible
ty of becoming seriously i'll from dis
ease, which can work havoc in body
that lacks the endurance and resistance
in rich red blood.
Taken in time and steadily, a few
bottles OF Guides Pepto-Mangan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality OF
the blood by adding red blood cells.
They check the weakness, improve the
appetite and clear the complexion.

in liquid and tablet form at your drug
gists. Get the genuine with the name
"Gude's Pepto-Mangan" on the pack
