To thoroughly know the virtues Of
medicine you must investigate its
work. Doan's Kidney Pills stand this
test, and plenty Of proof exists right
here in Maysville. People who testi-
fled years ago to relief from backache,
kidney and urinary disorders, now
give confirmed testimony-declare the
results have lasted. How can any
Maysville sufferer longer doubt the
evidence?
Mrs. W. A. Schatzmann, COS East
Second street, Maysville, gave the fol-
lowing statement November Is, 1915:
From the benefit have derived from
the use Of Doan's Kidney Pills I have
every reason to recommend them to
anyone. Whenever my kidneys have

used box or so Of Doan's and they
have always proven sufficient to cure
the complaint quickly"

Uncle Ted, but will give you some
idea OF what the league is and what
It tried to do in North Dakota. Back
in 1915 the farmers Of that state be-
came impatient at the failure of the
state government to put into practice
certain theories that they hoped would
benefit them. In particular they
wanted the state to undertake the
erection and operation of grain ele-
vators and markets, where the farm
ers could bring their grain. They
thought they could sell their wheat
and corn to the state elevators at
higher price than they were dispos-
ing Of 1t, because the profits that the
elevator men now get would be cut
out.
Just about that time a man by the
name Of Townley came into the state
and organized the farmers into the
Non-Partisan League, so that they
could act together to get what they
wanted from the state government. In
1916 most of the farmers voted togeth-
err at the state election, and succeeded
In putting their candidate in the gov
ernor's Office, electing about all the
other state officers, three justices of
the supreme court, and majority of
the state legislature. The next year,
1917, they elected a member of the
National House of Representatives.
"You see, children, they had things
pretty much their own way in North
Dakota, and they proceeded to enact
laws according to the theories they
believed to be for their own best in.
terests. They paid no attention to the
principles that had divided the old
Democratic and Republican parties,
but adopted what amounted to a form
o fsocialism. Some o fthe things they
tried to do included the exemption of
all farm improvements from any form
o fakes; ownership by the state of
grain elevators at railroad terminals,

A tax was put on all unused land, SC
as to encourage the development Of

About every one OF those princi-
pies is contrary to the best experience
fother state governments, and the
people 500 found that they had made
great mistake. Onelaw, however,
that the Non-Partisan Legislature
passed proved the salvation of the
people of North Dakota. It is known
as the recall. It was one Of the pet
measures of the Non-Partisan League,
but 1t never occurred to the leaders
and Office holders of the league that It
would ever be used against them. But
the good farmers of North Dakota re-
sorted to the recall law last month,
and proceeded to throw out of power
Mr.. Towley and all the other political
quacks who had deceived them, caus-
ed them great losses, and brought dis
grace to their state. The people had
learned their lesson in the hard school
of experience, and profted by 1t.
What has occurred IN North Da-
kota ought to be studied by every citi-
zen of the United States, especially
those living in communities where the
doctrines of socialism have won a
place in the minds of the people. The
people of that state are as intelligent
as those of any other. They tried their
best to make a success of the theories
in which they had been led to believe
Their plan failed not because of any
fault of their own, but because social
ism will ultimately fail wherever 1t is
tried.

Germany Must Pay, Says White House - Viviani's Mission Apparently Has Dealt Blow to Knox Separate Peace"

Washington, April 1.-Rene Vivi- ani, envoy extraordinary from France seeking light on America's attituda toward German payment of repara- tions, got his answer today when the United States governments position was specifically stated as being one of frmness on Germany's paying to the full extent of her ability.
 That statement was not made pub- lie to the French envoy, but, coming as it did on the heels of his official conferences and coming officially. if was accepted as the reply. The ex- act statement of the administration policy was as follows:
 "This administration holds firm to the position that Germany should be forced to accept the full moral res possibility for the war, and should pay to the full extent of her ability that amount to be determined by a fair and just process"
 Then in the same breath the high official of the government who pro- claimed the Harding policy added that it was "absurd" for any one to figure that after participating in the prosecution of the war to a success ful conclusion, "we would even con- sider taking any other position"
 Furthermore, this declaration in behalf of the administration came simultaneously with the news that Germany, evidently aroused by the Viviani mission, has been striving to get some reparations expression from this country. 1t was admitted at the State Department that there had been informal notes received through American Commissioner Dresel at Berlin
 However, I would not dignify them by styling them formal pleas for ac- tion on our part in connection with the reparations settlement" said an official at the State Department.
 Today's statement of policy is talk en to indicate that the administration will not press for passage of the Knox separate peace resolution with out amendment which will clearly de- fine the American position alongside the allies in the matter of repara- tions. At the same time there was hushed talk of immediate withdrawal of the American army of occupation from the Rhine.
 Whatever doubt may have existed over the French envoy's being here

PRESCOTT WINS
 FIRST HONORS
Local Contestants Win First Place in First Program of Ne vada County Contest at Gram mar School Last Evening.

The first contests of the annual Nevada County school meet which was held at the grammar school last evening were featured by the splen- did showing made by all the Prescott representatives who won first place in each event, which competitors from many of the schools of the county and from the Blevins school in Hemp stead county. Following are the winners:
 John c. Mum, declamation; Elva Bush, reading; Lucy White, piano, and Miriam Cummins, voice. Many of the other contestants deserve credit for the splendid manner in which they rendered their parts, and the program all through was we'll worth the price of admission charged. A good crowd was present and about $70 was realied at the door, which amount will be used to defray ex- penses of the meet.
 The athletic events are going or today at the high school campus, which has been placed in excellent condition for the different events and large crowd of out-of-t town visitors have been arriving all the morning on trains and by automobile. The spec tators, in their eagerness to witness each contest, crowd around the small spot where the competition is in pro- gress, and many necks will likely be the worse for having been used so carelessly by their owners.
 It is an interesting sight to witness the groups from each of the schools represented as they form an indi- vidual "rooting gang" and yell and urge their entries, which in many in- stances only serves to give the con- testant an uncomfortable self-con- scious felling resulting in his inabil- ity to do his best.
 The juniors from the contesting schools have had charge of the pro- gram all the morning in tryouts for potato race, ball throwing, shot put, broad jump, high jump, standing jump and many other novel contests for the small boys. The interest seems newt to lag, for when the cen ter of action shifts for different contest, even though it be to the far side of the field, the crowd braces up and shifts with them, for fear that their boys will not get the necessary side-line support.

Ultimatum from Allies Polls Coup of the Hapsburgs-Will Be Escorted Safely Back to Switzerland.

S5 ed safe conduct to former Emperor Charles to go to Switzerland, not only in principle, but n fact. The British, French and Italian minis ters called upon Chancellor Mayer this morning and presented the pro- test of the powers against a Haps- burg restoration.
 Paris, April Warning was given Hungary today by the allies that the restoration of the Hapsburg dynasty would entail disastrous consequences for the Hungarian nation.
 This warning, issued through the council of ambassadors, constituted a virtual ultimatum from the chief al- lied powers, including great Britain, France, italy and their lesser associ- ates. It was given an additional point by the fact that it was communicated officially to the allied states by which Hungary is rrounded-Czecho-Sl vakia. Jugo-Slavia, Roumania and Poland, at least the first three of which, comprising the little entente, have declared themselves ready to take military action against the Hapsburg restoration. Meanwhile, advices reaching Paris through off cial and other reliable channels give no confirmation of the rumors that Ex-Emperor Charles was marching upon Budapest at the head of large body of troops to replace himself up- on the throne.
 Official advices to the French for eign office emphasized that Charles was still at Steinamanger, near the Austrian frontier
 Direct Budapest advices carried of- ficial denial of the reports that he was moving on the capital with troops and declared he was safely guarded at Steinamanger.
