A WOMAN'S BACK
The Advice of This Canaan Woman
 is of Certain Value

Many woman's back has many aches and pains.
 Oft times 'tis the kidneys fault.
 That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are so effective.
 Many Canaan women know this.
 Read what one has to say about it:
 Mrs. L. Wickwire, Railroad Ave-, Canaan, says: q caught cold that settled in my kidneys and made my backache dreadfully when I did any sweeping or dusting. After doing any heavy work there was lameness in my back and when I stood for very long at time my back ached and became tired. Spots and specks appeared before me, blurring my sight. My kidneys acted irregularly and I was in need of medicine when I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. A few boxes rid me of the backache and regulated the kidney action. l still use Doan's which 1 get at Far num's Drug Store as a kidney tonic"
 Price soc, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for kidney remedy--get Doan's Kidney Pills---the same that Mrs. Wickwire had. Foster-Milburn Co.,, Mfrs, Buffalo, N. Y----adv.

Mirrors That Do Not Reflect.

The people of Manchuria are ex- travagantly fond of mirrors. Large ly they are used for ornamental pur- poses, being so adorned with flowers, birds, and even landscapes painted on them as to be practically unserviceable as looking glasses. The cigarette cases and purses carried by the young men of the well-to-do class usually contain small mirrors, of which their owners make constant use as do young wom- en in our own country of glasses in vanity boxes.

MORE INJUNCTION GOVERN
MENT

MENT
Steel manufacturers have followed
the coal operators in their trick to
avoid investigation.
It is an interesting, characteristic
story of the advantages which govern
ment not run for the people can give
those of great financial power.
In 1920 congress specifically order
ed the federal trade commission to
secure for it the facts as to the cost
of mining coal. Passed by congress,
approved by the president, this order
represented the will of our nation if
anything could.
Yet the coal operators asked and a
single federal Judge granted an in
junction holding up this investigation.
And now the steel barons have secur-
ed the same kind of injunction. The
ground on which these injunctions are
issued is that the coal business and
the iron and steel business are not in
terstate commerce.
This reminds US, too, of the case re-

GRAIN GAMBLER THREATS
Threats by the Chicago Board of
Trade, made before the Illinois leg
islature recently, that it would take
its business to Minneapolis or Winni-
peg, were repeated here when the
house passed the Tincher bill by a
vote of 269 to SO.
The press which owes first al
legiance to the grain combine is
everywhere attacking this bill, conse-
quently it is important to note that
the clause most complained of is that
which gives the secretary of agricul-
ture power to admit cooperative
farmer organizations to membership
in grain exchanges.
Grain men declare that this would
make handling of grain on commission
practically impossible. But what they
mean is that cooperative organiza-
tions could save the farmer SO much in
this hitherto closed shop business that
they would in time have most of the
business.
Aside from this provision it would
appear that the grain combine has lit
tie to fear, because the bill makes the
secretary of agriculture the king pin

turn is entirely responsible to presi-
dent who not only owes his position to
great business interests but believes
in them thoroughly.

AN ANTI-ARGUMENT
One Of the arguments most heard
here against regulating the grain ex-
changes 10 that the farmers are mere
agitators who do not know what is
good for them. And the chief proof
Of this point is that the farmers used

WASHINGTON, d. C. = On May
"a statement by the new treasurer
OF the United States, Frank White
Of Valley City, N. D., showing how
good the bonds of his home state
were, appeared in some New York
City publications. And within two
hours Wall street was making noise
that was heard in Washington-over
hot long distance wires.
The yell was not against anything
in the statement, because every big
kanker knows that it was correct, but
against violation of q statute passed
by congress in 1889 and approved by
the then president, George Washing
ton, forbidding United States treas
urers from being financially interested
in or pushing the sale of any private,
state or national bonds. There was
serious consultation by the leading
men of the treasury department i'm
mediately following this Wall street
yelp.
White had not been in Office long
enough to investigate as far back as
1888, and he prepared the statement
at the request of some North Dakota
bankers who came secretly to Wash
ington recently for help. One Of
Whites friends declares that it was
prepared for presentation to large
bankers only.

ence on disarmament, has passed the
senate by vote of "a to o.
The amendment reads as follows:
THAT the president is authorized
and requested to invite the govern
ments Of Great Britain and Japan to
send representatives to a conference
which shall be charged with the duty
OF promptly entering into an UNDER
standing or agreement by which the
naval expenditures and building pro-
grams Of each Of said governments, to
wit, the United States, Great Britain
and Japan, shall be substantially re-
duced annually during the next five
years to such an extent and upon such
terms as may be agreed upon, which
understanding or agreement is to be
reported to the respective govern
ments for approval"
The measure will now go to the
house and then to the president for
approval.
The willingness of the senate to give
this amendment unanimous approval
may be due to the desire of the reac-
tionaries to get the bill which it
amends through as quickly as possible
and to get on record for the popular
issue of disarmament.
A disarmament conference could
hardly get into action within six
months Of the approval of such con-
ference, and any action would then be
postponed considerably into the fu-
ture. Hence our present navy pro-

Pursuant to call issued by Miss
Gussie Nelken and Mr.. L. }. Alleman,
a meeting was held last Monday even
ing in the Court House for the purpose
of reviving and creating interest in the
Bow Scout movement in Natchitoches.
1t was pointed out by MIR. Alleman
in opening the meeting, that there is
now no real scout organization in Nat
chitoches, no scout official and no suit
able place for holding meetings in the
event of reorganization.
Temporary organization was effected
by the election of L. J. Alleman, chair
man and H. l.. Prather, secretary of
the meeting.
DR.. J. w. McCook, past scout mas
ter, was called upon to discuss the
needs of the organization and stressed
the points that the people as a whole,
and especially the parents of the boys,
must cooperate by giving their NOR al
and financial help to the movement and
that proper meeting place would have
to be provided.
Mr.. Williams very graciously offered
the old opera house building for use as
temporary quarters until a suitable
building can be provided.
A committee was composed of DR.. j.
w. McCook, Rev. E. K. Shuts and Mr..
A. O'Quinn was appointed to investi-
gate the entire scout house and are to
report at later meeting to be called
