HOOVER KNOWN
AS "GOOVER" IN
SOVIET RUSSIA

Petrograd.-Herbert Hoover. the
American secretary of commerce, ia
"Goover" to all Russian newspa-
pers and newspaper readers.
The English initial H has no
exact equivalent in the Russian
language. So they have made the
American secretary of commerce
"Goover" and 100000 little Rus
slams who eat the American meals
will thank MIR. "Goover" for their
daily bread.

Anti-Lynching Legislation.

What is known as the Volstead-Dyer anti
iynching bill is now pending in congress.
Among its provisions is clause that a county
in which a lynching occurs shall forfeit the
sum of $4,000 to the heirs of the victim
Opinion in the southern states appears to favor
this method of dealing with the lynching evil.

oy Z Mrs. ELIZABETH THOMPSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a
high school girl Is years old. Last
winter I. started going with a boy
and continued 10 do so for 10
months. All this time he treated
me with respect and neither of us
went with any one else during
those 10 months. He wrote to me
and asked me to discontinue our
friendship and only 10 speak. l
answered and told him l would do
so.
Since then l have been with an
other boy few times and like him
He has higher ambitions and works
much better than the first boy, but
somehow / can't forget the first
one. l have thought OF writing (for
he lives in another state now and
asking him why he quit Would it
be all right TO do so?
I think l can make myself like
the other boy. but how can l forget
the first boy?
A WORRIED GIRL.
Do not write and ask the reason
why you were dropped. The fact
that the young man asked that the
friendship be discontinued should
be sufficient to silence you, even If
you still care for him.
would not advise You to make
yourself forget the first young man
and then make yourself care for
the second. Simply let matters
take their natural course. In time
some one will enter your life for
whom you will care so much, with
out any effort on your part, that
you viii not longer care for the
one who commands your love at
present
Dear Ers- Thompson: I have
been married five years and can
not get onto my husbands ways
He Is very ouiet; nothing l say
seems to interest him / often talk
of his work. but It is of no interest
70 me as he is a machinist and l
do, not understand HIS work. was
used to~a lot OF friends before I
married Where we are now L am
not very we'll. acquainted and am
very lonesome What could I do,

Get THOMPSON
IN TENNESSEE.
travelling Salesman Said to Have
Passed Bad Checks Brought
Back.

Fred p. Thompson, said to have
obtained SOS in this city by pass
ing spurious checks, is back in
Rock Island from Columbia, Tenn,
where he was waiting trial upon a
similar charge Sheriff John G.
Miller returned last night with
Thompson, and communications
which have been received indicate
that he had operated through a
wide field.
Representative of a Pittsburgh
stationery firm, Thompson appear-
ed to have legitimate occupation
His first checks in this city were
honored by the Rock Island State
bank. after Thompson had been
identified by woman, who endors-
ed the paper. Then other checks
were passed. These, it is claimed,
were no good.
Quincy, ILL.,, authorities have made
inquiry about Thompson, too, al
though the nature of charges there
is not known.
The Tennessee county which had
taken Thompson into custody had
not traced many large checks
against him. Under the law, con-
viction would entail a short term
of work on state roads. For this
reason the state was not averse to
delivering him into custody of
Sheriff Miller.

Standing all day, or sitting N
cramped positions and often with wet
feet, young girls contract deranged
conditions, and before they are hardly
aware of it they develop headaches,
backache, irregularities, nervousness
and bearng-down pains, all of which
are symptoms of woman S ills. Every
mother who has daughter suffering
from such symptoms should profit BY
the experience of Mrs. Eichar and
give Lydia E Pipkham's Vegetable
Compound a fair trial.
