The Time to Buy.

Eighteen months ago money was about the
cheapest commodity in America Many wise
people noted this fact at the time and freely
advised those who were making large incomes
from either wages business to save all they
could, since it was certain that the pendulum
would swing the other way. Proof of the
soundness of this advice has come very quickly.
Today is a great harvest time for the investor
With the United States government paying over
five per cent for temporary loans, it is only
natural that many perfectly sound enterprises
should be paying eight per cent, and it is also
perfectly natural that foreign government
bonds that are sound should be sold in the
American market on a basis of eight per cent
and more. America is at present the greatest
reservoir of capital in the world and the whole
world comes here to'borrow the wherewithal
to DO business.
1t is not in investments alone that the
American dollar is at an advantage. The man
woman who wants to replenish wardrobe.
refurnish house, lay in supply of foodstufs
purchase almost anything in the way of
merchandise is offered such bargains as have
not been seen in years. Merchants in their
summer clearance sales are making splendid
offerings at pre-war prices that look insignif-
cant when compared with what was demande ed
and paid for the same character and quality
OF merchandise couple of years ago.
In the very nature of things these ex-
tremely low prices on merchandise cannot last
for proud of the value of the Amer
lean dollar. the fact remains that it has not
the merchandise value that it had before the
war, and it cannot have until staggering
government debt is considerably reduced. The
process of deflation can never be carried to
the point where the dollar will have its pre-
war value. The world has entered upon a pc
Rod of permanently high prices. just as it did
after the great Napoleonic wars. Those who
were wise enough to save their money two or
three years ago probably will be wise enough
to invest now in sound securities or needed
merchandise. Those cheaper today, with
some few exceptions, than they will ever be
again.

Two Oaths of Office.

When William Howard Taft walked into
the office of Attorney General Daugherty laid
his straw hat on the desk in front of him and
raised his right hand, the oath of Office admin
istered to him as tenth chief justice of the su-
preme court of the United States ran as
follows:
l, William Howard Taft. do solemnly swear
that 1 will administer justice without respect
to persons and do equal right to the poor and
to the rich; and that 1 will faithfully and i'm
partially discharge and perform all the duties
incumbent upon chief justice of the
United States, according to the best of my abil-
tiles and understanding agreeably to the con-
stitution and laws of the United States. and
that 1 will support and defend the consti-
tuition of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that will bear true faith
and allegiance to the same; that I take this
obligation freely, without any mental reserva-
ton or purpose of evasion, and that 1 will
well and faithfully discharge the duties of the
Office on which am about to enter. So help
me God
When Mr.. Taft took Office in 1909 as pres
ident OF the United States the oath read as
prescribed by the constitution
l. William Howard Taft, do soleInnly swear
that I will faithfully execute the office OF the
president OF the United States, and will, to
the best of my ability, preserve. protect and
defend the constitution of the United States
During the history of the nation no other
man has been called upon to make both these
pledges of exalted duty, no other man has been
so honored as to bear in one lifetime the re-
sponsibility of the presidency and the chief
jHsticeship. The absolute integrity and the
rare humanity of Mr.. Taft have brought him
this unparalleled honor almost without exer-
ton on his own part.

Backing the Home Team.

= Just now the Rock Island baseball fan is
disposed to be disheartened. That has not
been the spirit in the past of the Rock Island
fan. And. too, the knocker is abroad because
the home team has struck losing slump The
knoeker has come to the surface before in
Rock Island but not in such large and per-
sistent numbers he has at the present time.
The knocker never helped baseball team or
anything else.
What Rock Island needs right now is
little of the spirit of boost at Douglas park.
You can't expect baseball player to do his
best work if he feels that the people in the
stand not backing him up. 1t takes the
heart out of him. He is human just as you
are. When you are criticised when you are
putting in your best ticks at a task you will
admit that it doesn't improve your work to
feel that what you are doing isn't appre-
cfated.
The Rock Island team isn't going to finish
at the bottom of the column. It's going to land
in comfortable place at the end of the sea-
son. because there is winning material on the
team Other clubs have hit the toboggan, and
have pulled themselves together and started
again toward the top. The Rock Island team
win do the same thing.
It's not good craftsmanship to knock a
team simply because it has given few ragged
exhibitions. Teams in the major leagues have
been known to perform equally as bad ROCK
Island fans want baseball, but they are not
going to insure its permanency here by knock
ing. What the team needs right now is the
assurance that the home fans are at its back,
win or lose.
At the next game you attend, if you have
been knocking, throw away your hammer and
start footing for the team, and observe how
different things will look to you. The boys
will play better and you will feel that you have
them in doing so

AID Writer for Church.

Leaders of the Protestant Episcopal church
in conference in New York have decided to
turn to newspaper publicity as a means of in
creasing the church membership. An expert
advertising writer is to be employed, and in
his hands is to be placed the details of out
lining and conducting a campaign that it is
hoped will aid in the enlargement of congre-
cations throughout the country.
In recent years some of the churches have
tried advertising, and in no case has it failed
OF results. There are those who may disagree
with the idea the grounds that it is not in
good taste to eommercialize religion. Yet such
an argument is easily overcome when the
church that does advertise can point to the
fact that its pews are filled on Sunday. whereas
those of the neighborhood church are half
empty
After all, church. in order to exist must
have parishioners. The church best fulflls
its mission through reaching the greatest num-
Der of people. Statistics show that there are
great numbers of people who are not affiliated
with any church. There are hundreds of such
people in Rock Island. 1t is presumed that
the majority OF them are Christians Most of
them could be induced to attend church serv-
ices il way were found to get their attention
The church that is able to arouse that in
terest is the that will profit through at
tendance. Most people read the daily news
papers. The church that prints a message that
appeals to the reader without church utilization
IS the that will reap the benefits.
A man might be attracted to church serv-
ice by the announcement that a particular
song was to be sung or that the pastor was to
preach certain topic. You never can tell
whst will arouse the reader until you seek TO
Interest him.
Many persons remain away from church be-
cause they feel they don't belong: that they
are strangers and will be conspicuous among
the regular communicates There is way of
breaking down that timidity. For instance.
church might attract few Of the timid ones
By advertising that all seats are free and that

Mob Law in Texas.

Texas has been alarmed over a series of
mysterious assaults committed by masked
bands known as the Ku Klux Khan. The latest
attack was upon woman accused of bigamy.
She was stripped and tarred and feathered.
The Texas legislature has convened in special
session to adopt measures for dealing with the
depredations of the nobs.
OF course such assaults should not be coun-
tenanced in any civilized community. But
when men band themselves together to chastfse
And that is to be found in the lax enforcement
Of the laws, or in the failure of the victims of
crimes to prosecute offenders.
One Of the attacks by the Texas mob fol-
lowed the outraging of young girl by bus
mess man. His money and position enabled
him to obtain delays of the legal machinery,
and it looked if he were to escape punish
ment for his crime He was treated to a coat
Of tar and feathers and ordered to leave the
city None win deny that he received lust
punishment Yet he was the victim of an
illegal act.
The Ku Klux Khan should be suppressed
But, too. those responsible for the enforcement
of the laws OF Texas and of other states ought
to be impressed by the display of dissatisfac
ton by the people. Men of community stand
ing have been affiliated with the TEXAS rnobs
They had simply refused to longer stand idly
by and see the Law made q farce

there will be usters on hand to welcome and
seat the strangers. Churches have resorted to
such methods, and they have been the gamers
in increased membership. 1t is the breaking
down OF the first barriers that counts. No man
ever went to church that he didn't feel better
for having done It's gettipg him there

Church membership, aside from spiritual
heIpfulness, increases ones self-respect. or

Wishing the Patient Unhappy Days.
That cherries disposition which
goes with sagging or displacement
of abdominal organs, and which we
have glorified here under the name
of splanchnic anhedonia, is too fire.
uuently aggravated by bad news
from the doctor or the X-ray
mechanician. Thus many a woman
has been launched upon a sea of
trouble by the bad news that her
right kidney was loosened from its
moortngs and wandering about the
abdomen, whereas had the doctor
kept his discovery to himself the
poor woman might have been quite
contented and happy-or at any
rate fairly happy, for I suppose no
woman can be quite contented this
side of heaven.
Likewise with prolapsed stomach,
ptosed liver. saCging colon and all
the rest of the scrambled contents
it is not quite fair to mention the
discovery of such loose organs to
the patient except when this infor-
nation is necessary for the purpose
of obtaining cooperation by the pa
tient in the carrying out of remed-
ial measures, such as absolute bed
rest postural maneuvers, exercise
appropriate to the individual re-
quirements, feeding, or in some
cases artificial support or surgical
interference.
X-ray pictures have proved that
most adults have more or less sag
ging of stomachs or bowel, at least
when the positions of the abdominal
organs are compared without old
er conceptions of the normal posi-
tions of the organs. 1t follows,
therefore, that a diagnosis of
splanchnoptosis or sagging organs
based solely on X-ray examinations
is not worth considering. Faulty
interpretations of X-ray pictures by
mere X-ray tech --icians without
medical training and experience
have injured too many patients-but
nowadays about the only victims of
this mechanical kind of diagnosis"
are those Wisenheimers who think
to go over The doctors head and
have an X-ray examination on their
own. Precious few of US would
fail to find our in'ards more or less
displaced or "droLpe1" If we were
to rely on mere X-ray evidence.
A good half of our modern "spe-
cialists" out to be sent back to hon
est general practice, and at least
four-fi fths of the X-ray diagnos-
ticians that infest the country ought
to be equipped with oYeralls and
put at some useful work, ouch as

CURED her brother.
Robert, do you think that's
nice?" demonstrated mother, as
Betty's face took on tho deeper flush
of temper. To mothers eyes Betty
was very lovely, and had the house
been transformed into literal bow
or of blossoms the adoring parent
would not have been surprised.
They were at dinner. Betty was
dressed in readiness for that cav
aiier who would shortly follow his
floral offering. Bob had been silent
and noticeably doWncast during the
meal.
Just then the phone rang and PIT
an end to any further chickering's.
Bob arose with alacrity and flushed
eagerness, not unmixed with hope,
and dashed to answer the call. His
vibrant voice was quite audible in
the dining room.
'Yes--yes, it's Bob! No, I
wasn't going! You-you mean
it? Oh, 1 say, don't. You
needn't be sorry; it wasn't your
fault-it was all mine! Well,
let's forget it. Forgive you?
Course! When will you be ready?
Be there? You betcher! =.
Am I glad you called? Say, I'll tell
the world I'm tickled silly! And
I'll tell you tonight" lowering his
voice. But the very intensity of
his whisper burned its way to the
ears in the dining room.
Rather sheepishly Bob resumed
his seat at the table. The fond
sympathy in his mothers eyes did
not make the mocking raillery in
Betty's any the easier to bear.
Who's the nut, Bobbie? That
fluffy little Kitten that has been
purring round you lately? Imagine
a girl answering to the name of
Kitten! You've rubbed her fur the
wrong way, have you? That's why
he couldn't eat his dinner, mother!

son. Indeed, 1 don't see how she
could help it," she added, mentally,
her gaze lingering on Bob's clean,
flushed countenance and the engag-
ing ringlets now lying somewhat
damply against his rather heated
brow.
"Bob's got way. you know,
Betty" she continued playfully, as
she recalled the late suppressed ar
dor at the phone.
Some Romeo, I'll say!" Knocked
Betty.
Not to your kind of Juliet, be-
lieve mel" retorted her brother.
Then a thought seemed to strike
him and his eyes sought his moth
er's in inspiration and inquiry A
look Of understanding and approval
replied to him. Betty had not To-
ticed this eloquent exchange Of
born in her mind. When it was act
ually formulated she transmitted It
eagerly to her mothers eye. which
flashed hack intuitjvely understand
ing and approval.
Then Betty fastened 20 put on

satisfied with life. A troublous prob
