pate.
The purpose of the campaign is not
only to induce residents of the small
I! communities and the home town fo,.s
who are far from their native heath
TO subscribe Tor the home paper but
also to emphasize the important place
the home newspaper plays in the life
OF its community
This campaign has the hearty sup
port and cooperation not only of the
newspapers but thousands of minis
tiers and school principals, and many
state' agricultural colleges and farm
and home bureau organizations.
Some persons, 1t is pointed out, have
been inclined to belittle the place and
function of the country newspaper.
They have not realized that in reality
the home paper is a community insti-
tuition and that it enables the other
institutions, such as the church and
the school and all the rest to function
better and more effectively. That it is
necessity if the town is to advance

Goethe,a Superh Faust.

Christopher Marlowe, an English
dramatic poet of the Sixteenth cen
fury, was the first to use the old leg
end of Faustus,> and he deals rather
gently with the character of Mephis-
topheles, making him sadder and
more dignified than he appears in
Goethes drama. 1t was the German
poet who placed that demoniacal be-
Ing before the world for all time, who
created that sneering, sardonic indi-
vidual, powerful and exacting, who
makes Faust sign their contract with
blood; brimful of vanity, anxious to
show his power by the magic creation
of wine drawn from a wooden table,
enjoying life as man, yet retaining
all his diabolical characteristics.

If one is in the habit of throw

TREES TENACIOUS or LIFE
Perseverance, and Energy q the New
Shoots Is Rsm9g%aoIe Th.a8
in Nature.

Certain trees seem possessed Of
indomitable pluck and energy which
make them cling to life in all CIV
cumstances, even to the "trylA@
AGAIN" on their own account OF
branches severed from the parent
tree.
: record appeared some time ago
Of a number of willow saplings,
which had been used to fence in
an allotment, having developed
roots, now forming living hedge.
Another account was Of an apple
tree which had been riyen dn twain
by lightning stroke; The part re-
naming upright, being apparently
dead, was used for some time as
a clothes post. To the surprise of
the owners, if not only budded in
to leaf and blossom, but actually
bore fruit.
Instances of this sort frequently
occur in regard to pea and bean
sticks. or hedge or hop stakes.
Various shrubs, too, such as the
box, privet, and myrtle, generally
will develop roots if care is taken
to bury the sprigs deeply enough
to cover one or more leafbuds.
This, of course, is the real secret
of these wonderful new growths.

MOUNT VERNON, Ky, Aug. %. -
The first day of the John Bailey muir
der trial, growing out of. the Bailey
White mountain feud, was productive
of nothing more thrilling than the
search of every person who entered
the court room for weapons. Soldiers
and deputy sheriffs stopped each
clansman as he entered the doorway.
None resisted the search and no weap
ons, except few pocket knives, were
found. Even the women were not ex-
empt
When the case was called, both the
commonwealth and the defense asked
for continuance because essential
witnesses were absent. The prosecu-
ton asked for attachments for four
and the defense for nine material wit
nesses. Circuit Judge Bethurum ap-
pointed Sheriff Walker to deputize
two soldiers to bring the desired wit
nesses into court and adjourned court
until tomorrow. The sheriff also was
ordered to establish a censorship of
telephone wires and instructed to pre-
vent the transmission of any mes
sages which might inform the missing

H. Schwab of Payson, Utah, in which

Saturday, so far as then was known,
was Interrupted today by an announce
ment by the defense that it had To-
Gated a witness in Kansas who would
swear that Schwab had a revolver
Just before he was killed.
Whether or not Schwab was armed
has been source of controversy be-
tween the state and defense through

that Nash killed Schwab, but claim
ed he did it in self defense. The prose
cution alleged that Nash could not
have been threatentd by Schwab, be-
cause. it claimed, Schwab was I'M
armed
Final arguments were to have been
made in the case today but the court
granted the defense time to bring its
witness from Kansas. 1t now is prob
able that the jury will not get the

IF the present rate continues" said

ably require considerably over 100000
bottles a year. This is tremendous
figure, but am really conservative in
making this statement" Tanlac is

Brands Reserve
system" CrueI
ndTyrannical''
]. S. Wanamaker Holds Board
Responsible For Decline
in Prices Over u. S.

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. = Federal
reserve board policies in connection
with price and currency deflation are
cynical, cruel and inexcusable," and
constitute financial tyrant and COM
mercial. criminality," j. S. Wanna
maker, president of the American Cot
ton Association, charged today before
joint congressional agricultural
committee. The boards methods, he
added, are "heaping up gold in the
United States at the expense of all
civilization"
Speaking, he said, for agricultural
producers, the witness asserted the
federal board and banks were respon-
sible for the general price decline.
The boards pressure still was being
exerted upon bankers who are afraid
of their shadow, who may find all
their loans called by reserve banks
any minute, and dare not disobey it's
orders" according to Wannamaker,
who asked the commission to recon-
mend legislation for general revision
Of the reserve board personnel. He
proposed that the personnel be COM
posed of twelve members, nominated
from the various districts as repre-
sentatives of industry instead of bank
ing, who would be appointed by the
president and confirmed by the SEN
ate. Further. he suggested that the
commission recommend the instant
reduction in federal reserve re-dis-
count rates to basis of 31A per cent
on Liberty loan collateral.
"The federal reserve banking sys-
TEN, created to serve the people, by
its administration has made the peo-
pie servants of the SYSTEM" he as
serted. ''Its policy will require tse
American people to pay with deflatsd
dollars national debt borrowed In
initiation dollars"
Price declines that have been a.
fected lately, he declared, will not
help consumers, because they hake
left nothing for agricultural prodtic-
ers to do but combine and reduce pro-
dustion so low in the future that
prices will give US some margin of
profit and let us pay our debts"
