Nearly everybody in Southwest
Missouri either knows or has heard
Of the Rev. Parker Moon. who for a
full half century has devoted his life
and talents to Sunday school and or
ganization work for the Society Of
Friends or Quakers. He resides at
62S Howard venue, Carthage, Mo.
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 in that part Of the state.
In referring to his remarkable res
toration to health by Tanlac, he said:
About five years ago 1 suffered a
general breakdown. My principal
trouble was nervous Indigestion. My
appetite was very poor and my food
seldom agreed with me. and I had to
live. on a very restricted diet. I suf-
fered a great deal from headaches
and dizzy spells; I had yer pains
across the small of my back and was
badly c~onstipated most of the time.
In fact, I was 30 weak and rundown
I was not able to attend to my duties.
This condition made me very nerv-
Gus and I could not sleep at night,
Frequently I would lie awake most
all night and was in that condition
more or less for five years. My
physician said he could not do any
thing for me and suggested a change
Of climate. I then moved to Texas

during the past two years, according
to John P. Gardiner. state labor and
Industries commissioner, was. re-
sPonsible for the increase in the num-

DER. direction Of the labor depart,
,ment.
The c%ertincating officer. Mr.. Gardi-
ner said, Is a factor in the states
educational system. and upon this
oficer rests the responsibility of
placing the child in desirable work
and in work covered by the require
ments Of law. -
More than $3.50. such certificates
were issued during the past biennium,
according to records on file in the
commissioners Office. OF this num-
Der 995 children were given certif-,
Gates permitting them to act as
messengers, running errands and de-
Hyering. This number included 1853
girls. 80
Increase in wages, the report reads,
has doubtless been the cause to
some extent of the increase in the
number Of children taking up factory
work during the past two years. It
may also be due in part to the fact
ASo " VI LAe lCS are p uO"
run on a 4S-hour. week basis sched-i
ule, SO that it is possible for such
employers to use minors without vio-
lat1ng the child labor law and with
out making any change in their,
working schedule.
Comparatively few of these chill
;dren have become apprentices learn
ing useful trades,'' the report states.
Few take up work which offers
further educational advantages, but
rather the idea seems to be to get
any kind of a job whereby they may
at once earn fair wages for the time
being. Such children usually make
frequent changes from n job to
another"
More than 1000 special child labor
Investigations were made by the de-
partment's factory inspectors during
the past biennium. These investiga-
ticns were either made upon COM
plants, upon request, or upon the
initiative Of the inspectors. In 4O8
cases the complaints acted upon were
unfounded, but 56S firms operating
in the state were found guilty of vio-
lations of the child labor law. These
violations involved the illegal EN-
ployment Of $40 children. In one
case cited 80 children were employed
by a firm to do home work at night.
One hundred and thirteen OF the 568
firms found violating the child labor
law were prosecuted On 136 counts in
various courts of the state. S.

was 81 as compared with 16 in Octo-

Retail trade enjoyed an increase in

~ Summary For the Month.
November when compared with. Oc-
tober. was a month of declines in the
production of lumber and copper: in
building; in the transportation Of
grain, ore and coal; in the number Of
men employed in the extractive indus
tries; and in prices. There was some
increase in the production of flour, the
movement Of livestock, and in the
sales Of retail stores, but the declines
predominated as shown by the volume
Of payments through the banks.

Der a much larger movement of grain.
livestock, iron ore and coal than a

OF women in the banking world she
says:
Until within a few years most po-
sitions open to women within banking
institutions have been largely in the
nature of stenographic work At pres
ent you will find women in almost
every department and when the de-
partment head is consulted he will
tell you that the woman clerks work
is very satisfactory indeed.
Occasionally, we hear Of some
woman who has attained an executive
position within the conservative cir
cles Of banking although such attain
ments have not been at all general.
This is not a bit di~scouraging. how
ever. when we realize thai what we
have been given to do we have done
satisfactorily. We~need to realize that
the future may bring greater oppor-
tunities and to be ready for these
we cannot have too great knowledge
relating to the principles and details
of banking"

There was a real uprising when the
banking bill came up for
consideration. All farmer members
and most of the town folks-partic-

game-wanted to make a speech. The
fight was going strong when Brown
blew the whistle at $50 and the days
work was ended. The bill is due to
come up for another hearing today.

Harding's Cabinet Now Almost the
Least of His Problems.
st. Augustine, Feb. ia variety of
problems that must be solved before
inauguration day were gone over by
President-elec Harding today, with
Harry NJ. Daugherty of Ohio. who
managed his campaign for the nomi-
nation last spring and who is expected
to sit in his cabinet as attorney gen.
eral.
The final makeup of the cabinet
itself occupied first place in their con-
situations, Mr.. Daugherty laying be-
fore his chief a budget OF information
and advice gathered during a two
weeks trip to New York, Washington
and other eastern cities.
The only cabinet posts not yet vir-
tually assigned are the secretaryship
of the navy, commerce and labor, each
of which involves considerations that
make a choice difficult.
Former Gov. Frank o. Lowden OF
Illinois has definitely declined to be
considered for secretary of the navy,
and will not be appointed to any post
in the initial make up of the next
administration.

amend ROAD BILL.
Senate Does Not Favor Present
State Aid Measure.
Hall Day Spent by. Upper House
ON Proposed Changes.

When the smoke of the road aid
fund battle in the senate cleared away
late Wednesday afternoon, the upper
| house had proved conclusively its in
ability to think in terms of higher
units than counties. The thought
processes of the majority of the sena-
tors just won't function on larger
scale.
Prejudice against the state highway
commission, admitted without ques-
ton on the floor of the senate, and the
| implied jealousy between what Sena-
| tor Kimball called lone hundred and
| five petty kingdoms" defeated the
Coleman amendments which would
| have made the state aid, road fund
collectible thru the state treasury and
administered by the state highway
| commission. :
Says 1t Is Camouflage.
The state aid' nature of the bill
which was passed by the house and
amended by the senate roads commit
| tee was denounced as pure camou-
flage" by Senator Hegler of Sedgwick
county. Senator Coleman stated that
he had doubts as to whether the state
| is eligible to receive federal aid at all
under the terms of the bill as passed.
Opinions differed on this point.
The committee amendments to the
| bill as passed by the senate took up
i the greater part of the forenoon, and
underwent SOME tHdnS0S On the llOOT
before they were finally adopted. The
chief difference between the senate
and the committee was on the safe
guarding of the rights of property
owners who don't want a hard sur
faced road, and the prevention of
county commissioners rrom building
roads where the property owners who
are to benefit have not paid their
share of the expenses.
Object to Present Bill.
The men behind the Coleman
amendments declared that they would
rather see the entire bill killed than
to see it go thru in it's present make
shift form.
Since it is based on the administra-
ton of fund which is to be raised
by the imposition OF a graduated Ii
cense-fee on automobiles. and since
the bill levying the registration tax
has not vet been passed in either
house. there is chance that the bill
will be rendered valueless yet With
no fund collected. the law prescribing
its administration would represent
Just a good deal of useless argument
