PREVENTATIVE MEDICINES.

The tendency of medical science is
toward preventative measures. 1t is
easier and better to prevent than to
cure. Pneumonia, one Of the most
dangerous diseases that medicine men
have to contend with, often follows a
cold or attack of grip. The cold pre-
pares the system for the reception
and development of the pneumonia
germ. The longer the cold hangs on,
the greater the danger. Take Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy as soon as
the first indication of a cold appears
so as to get rid of it with the least
possible delay. 1t is folly to risk an
attack of pneumonia when this rem
edy may be obtained for trifle.-

OIL PRosPECTORs HERE.

Mr.. Alex Miltonberger, cashier Of
Tower Grove Bank, of st. Louis, ac-
companied by a practical oil Geolo-
gist, of Winchester, KY, was here
last Tuesday and on being shown ov-
er certain area East of Lexington, the
geologist expressed the opinion that
surface conditions were favorable,
but if oil should be found within the
area examined, the wells would doubt
less be deep, hence more abundant in
flow, than is the case in shallow
wells. The gentlemen left on the 4
p. m. train Tuesday for Parsons to
look over Decatur and Hardin coun-
ties to return here at the end of this
week.

on me and my friends that all would
be well with me if he was elected.
Senator Dial recommended, in 1920
the appointment of Hon. Thomas P.
Cothran, for the position I held, but
Mr.. Cothran did not care for the
place Che aspired to the District
Judgeship) and after Senator Dial
had nominated him, Mr.. Cothran,
with fifty odd other members of the
GreenviIle bar recommended my re-
appointment and many business men
assured him of the satisfaction I had
given in the discharge of the duties
of the Office, yet his hatred for Sen,
ator Tillman and his friends prompt
ed him to ignore all recommendations
in my behalf, resulted in supplanting
me with a Republican.
In the summer of 1920, before
Congress adjourned, the opinion was
pretty general that a Republican
would be elected President at the
November election, and if so, that
inasmuch as the Democrats in a sim
liar situation in 1913, had refused
to confirm Republicans nominated by
President Taft, that the Republicans
would refuse at the December session
Of Congress, to confirm any of the
appointees of President Wilson; and
Notwithstanding this knowledge or
his part and the fact that he knew
that he could not displace me with
any friend of his under the Wilson
Administration, he pursued a course
that he had good reason to believe
would give the result that he finally
secured, to-wit: the appointment Of
q Republican to succeed me.

THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS.
The inaugural address of Governor Nest

The inaugural address of Governor Nestos was,
as was expected, brief and business-like. In a new
form suited to the occasion, it was in substance
identical with other addresses which he has made
during the recall campaign and since the election.
1T contained d restatement of the policy to which
the new administration is committed, an appeal for
the support Of the people of the state in making
that policy successful, and an earnest invitation to
all our citizens to lay aside the strife of factions in
order that there may be the unity of effort and Of
spirit without WHICH no permanent progress can be
made.
The policy outlined is clear and specific. There
is to be a thorough examination into the work of all
the departments OF government in order that there
may be reached an adequate understanding of just
what the condition of the state is. The need for
such an examination is accentuated by the incidents
OF the last hours Of the old administration. when
elaborate efforts were made to make effective a
f1nai raid on the treasury and to tie the hands of the
new administration SO thatSit would be powerless
to carry out any material portion Of the %construc-
tive work promised.
There is to be 4 wedding out Of employees so
that the state may be relieved of the burden of
maintaining ~platoons of employees who are either
unnecessary or unfit.
The rural credit possibilities of the state are
to be given force and vitality and the state is to be
relieved of the load OF a useless piece of machinery
in a state bank devoted to the operations of COM
nercial banking.
The states mill and terminal elevator arc to be
completed promptly and adequately. and the opera
ton OF this business is to be conducted on the best
system that can be devised by competent men IA
nllllar with this class of work. to the end that it's
full possibilities as a business enterprise conducted
in the interest of the farmers of the state may be
realized.
These are the chief items on the program an
1ounced. They have been pledged before, and
Governor Nestos i'll his inaugural address has re-
neWed the pledges which he has formerly made.
and has done SO in terms which cannot be mis-
understood. " ,,...s .

OFF LOSSES.

10 maintain a business in a prosperous condi-
ton a man must keep i'll touch with his losses.
Many a business man has found to his surprise that
he was lnsolvent when he supposed himself to be in
good financial condition. the enlightenment being
forced upon him by the discovery that he has been
carrying as live assets quantities Of obsolete merch-
andlsc and bundles OF uncollectable bills which he
had lnvolccd season after season at their fatc value
when he should long ago have closed them out at
their true value and written off his losses.
slhe practice Of dccciving ones self in this
manner IS a very prevalent one. 1t is never fol-
lowed without unsatisfactory results. Its prevail
eace during the past year or two has much to do
with the retardation OF our recovery from the un-
desirable economic conditions induced BY the war.
individuals in large numbers in every walk of life
have been reluctant to face the facts as they we're.
writing OFT as losses those items which any rational
view of the subject would indicate must sometime
be treated as losses. and thereby getting earlier into
line with new conditions.
The STATE Of North Dakota has reached a COLI
vcnlcnt point at which to write off a lot of losses that
have been sustained during the past five or six
years Nash experimentation. wasteful manage
mcnt, political mani pulation and other associated
causes have Lett the state with a burden of debt to
balance which VIC have nothing tangible except a
small country mill and an uncompleted terminal
elevator and mill building. The actual value OF the
property which is left as result of these wears Of
m1s111a1lagernen is but 4 minute fraction Of the
money which has been expended at least ostcnsibly
to install IN the state a general system of public
ownership.
There can be nothing but disappointment and
dissatisfaction to the state in seeking to perpetuate
the fiction that in the exploded bubbles Of the past
lev years we have anything of real value. We have
lost millions OF dollars. Let us not make the mis-
take OF carrying Our losses on the books as assets
The losses are very real and tangible. The meth,
DDS Of doing business have been SO intricate and in,
VOWED that it may not be possible to asoertain &c
curately the amount Of those losses, bit the san,
can at least be Appropriated, and when the best es-
innate possible has been reached we should accep,
the situation frankly, list our assets at tiei. actual
value, charge off our losses, and start over agair
with the determinations that our affairs shall b
managed better in the future.

the organization. On this very conservative basis
it is costing the American people $4,000 a day for
this service, or some three or four million dollars a
year. That sum alone would provide for several
quite important needs. But the fact is thatttlc mails
areSsubjected to certain risks against which provis-
ion must be made. 1t would be folly for the gov
ernment to spend money on the organization and
operation Of a postal service, with its great outlay
for mail cars and equipment and employees il, after
all this expenditure had been incurred the valuable
material which the department transports were at
the mercy OF any thug who chose to pack a gun.
1t has often been suggested and urged that this
nation. and other nations solve the problem of dis
armament by the simple process of disar,ning, with
out further prelirninaries.. Wenlay assume that the
nations generally would like to disarm. As a rule
they are peaceful and orderly, and desire to remain
so. But the orderly cannot safely abandon their
safeguards SO long as the disorderly remain armed
or are in a position to assume arms on short notice.
Our government could, by the uttcrance Of a
Jew words, disarm the entire mail service and there
by save the expense of its armed equipment. But
there can be no disarmament OF the mail service. no
matter what the cost may be, SO long as there are
people who stand ready to attack the mails and who
have the equipment to make their attacks effective.
There is no such thing as a sound argunlent
against the reduction of national ornaments to the
lowest point consistent with national safety. But to
reduce ornaments below that point, wherever that
point may lie, would be a provocat:on to war rather
than all inducernent to peace. :

CONCRETE ROADS.

More than one billion dollars are now appro-
priated OF pledged i'll this country for the c%onstruc-
ton OF needful improvement Of the nations high
ways. The growing importance OF motor truck
ard the need Of making the most Of vehicular
transportation iii the distribution of raw products
and finished commodities emphasize why the coun-
try's roads should be OF the best. Tests made at
some OF our laboratories, and practical experience
years of service, reveal that concrete roads
arc notably economical and, incidentally, lower
hauling costs. That is to say, when the concrete
road is properly built, it wears we'll and lasts long
under all service conditions and despite seasonal
changes. Experiments made by the University Of
California disclose that on a level asphalt pavement
ST takes a pull of 68.5 pounds per ton load; on a
level gravel road, in good state, the pull rs. 1872
pounds per ton load while. on a level, plain surface
concrete road the pull is only 27.6 pounds per ton
of load.
"A 2-ton motor truck, according to a series Of
exhaustive trial runs, will cover on a level dirt road,
in fair condition, a matter Of 5.78 miles on a gallon
Eof gasoline. Over a level biturninous macadam
road, the same vehicle will do 9As miles on a gallon
lot gasoline but upon a plain surface concrete road,
the truck will rayel11. 78 miles on a gallon Of gaso-
Eline. The promise Of roads constructed Of properly
mixed and we'll tamped concrete is one that war
rants serious consideration. The capacity Of CON
crete to- withsxand abrasive acton, and its strength
and its ability to endure radical changes Of ternpera-
ltnre are bound up in the original rnixture and the
anacunt ~cfypster then used.
