Every Man Has a Gift"


something better than he can do any
thing else. Many men, however,
never find the job they are best fitted
for. This is because they do not
think enough.
Women are said to be queer. The
family cat, which was away two
nights, came home. with a split ear, a
banged-up leg and sore eye, and the
woman took him in, fed, coddled and
arnicaed him so that in a couple of
days he was fairly comfortable. Sup
pose the man of the house, after stay
ing out two nights, had returned
home like that Tom cat, what do you
suppose would have happened to him?
$3.50
Four 500 revenue stamps were re-
quired on the deed which was given
by c. C. Patton, of Strong City, to
Lester B. Urschel, of Marion county,
when the transfer for the sale of the
Patton ranch north of Strong City
comprising almost 10000 acres of
land was consumated.
This is doubtless the largest sum in
revenue stamps ever paid on a trans
fer of land in Chase county. A total
of 164 descriptions cover the land as
described in the deed and the work of
recording the same was a long task.
The consideration given in the deed
for the land is 100000, or at the
rate of about $40 per acre.
Lester B. Urschel is owner of
large ranch southeast of Florence in
Marion county on which are several
dozen big oil wells. About a year
ago the first we'll on his land was
brought in.

Many Millions Unemployed

1Ork.
Many Millions Unemployed
May l found a few more than
100000 men unemployed in nine
teen states of the union.
A large percentage of those unable
to obtain work are in the industrial
centers of the eastern and central
states, included in these nineteen
states from which unemployed fig
ures could be obtained, but reports
from the other twenty-nine states
where figures were unobtainable all
show that unemployment exists, and
estimates of the number average from
100000. to 100000 persons are
out of work.
Reports of much unemployment
show up from New York, Illinois,
Pennsylvania, Indiana, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Ohio, while prac-
tically every state east of the Mis-
sissipp and north of the Mason and
Dixon line is seriously affected by
the wave that has swept over the
country during the last year. The
reports indicate that the situation in
these more densely populated states
IS growing more acute every day.
Not an encouraging situation. 1t
is a problem that must be solved. The
necessity of readjustment is impera-
tive. The government is alive to the
situation, and is watching every
opportunity to stop strikes through
mediation before they begin. Some
notable successes have been achieved.
Two Months of Harding
President Harding has surrounded
himself by cabinet that is already
being recognized as strong, harmon
ious and useful. In dealing with labor
problems both Secretary Davis and
Secretary Hoover take a hand. They
go about their work intclligently and
sympathetically, ready to deal justly.
During his two months as Presi-
dent, it is said of the President
He has every agency of the gov
eminent at work to solve the per-
picking domestic problems, especial
" those relating to the railroads and
agriculture.
HE has convened congress in
extraordinary session and got it
started on his program for reorgan-
izing the government on a business

alton systems
HE has ushered in a new era of
hope and good feeling, which radiat
ing from the open gates of the White
House, has reached to every section

NICHOLSON HEADING
CAMPAIGN IN INDIANA
TO RELIEVE RUSSIANS

S. Edgar Nicholson, recently elected
chairman of the Friends Service COM
mittee, announced Tuesday that the
committee intended to launch cam
paign for the relief of Russian famine
conditions by sending corn, -four and
money to buy -four fro mthe farmers
and millers. Mr.. Nicholson is advanc-
ing the work in Indiana and intends
to raise quite large amount of flour
contributions from citizens of the
state.
The project is also being pushed all
over the country. Russia had very
poor wheat crop, due to the lack of
rain last year, and raised only a frac-
ton of one-sixteenth as much wheat
as had ben the case in previous years,
said Mr.. Nicholson.
Expects Appropriation
Congress, according to a statement
made by Mr.. Nicholson Tuesday. prob
ably will appropriate S20,000000 to-
ward the relief of the stricken Russian
populace. This amount, seeming
enormous as it does, will not supply
the people with food for more than
two months at the most, and the peo-
pie of America must contribute more
10 insure holding them over until the
next harvest" said Mr.. Nicholson.
THE people who are in dire need to
day number about 20,000,000, and they
are all desperate for food
Along with the Friends Service
committee which is working for for
eign relief is the American Relief ad-
ministration, which is taking an active
interest in the work. These two or.
CARNATIONS should be able to raise
enough to help the Russians through
the winter and enable them to live
and raise big crops next year, Mr.
Nicholson believes.
"A meeting of the committee was to
be held in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms with Mr.. Nicholson Tuesday
afternoon at 4 o'clock.
