Nearly everybody in Southwest Mis-
souri, either knows or has heard of the
Rev. Parker Moon, who for full half
century has devoted his life and talents
to Sunday school and organization work
for the Society of Friends or Quakers.
He resides at 62S Howard avenue, Car
thage, Mo.
Uncle Parker" as he is more famil-
iarly known, came from fine old rugged
Quaker stock, and there is not better
known or more highly respected citizen
in that part of the state. In referring
to his remarkable restoration to health
by Tanlac, he said:
"About five years ago | suffered a
general breakdown. My principal trou-
BILE was nervous Indigestion. My appe-

Use X-Ray Machines
for Finding Defects
in Airplane Material

Philadelphia. Il Correspondence of the
Associated Press).-An up-to-the min

airplane construction to show up defec-

in the Production and Application OF
X-rays."
Grains of wood in airplane parts ere

it is easily discernible where tw&s differ

shown up, as is unsatisfactory gluing

where the wire will eventually break"

only three bids, for a total of 1900 tons,
were received when the department adj
yertised for million tons Of the east
ern departments last July |.
The prices ranged from $3.50 to $3.50
ton and since bidders had offered to

the eastern bids were rejected.
Asked il mine operators Disseminated
against the government. the witness said
no, and added, '.the government does
not buy its coal in a businesslike way,
The law does not allow us to contract
in March or April when the coal year
begins, and we have to make contracts
in July"
Colonel Barney said a representative
of the Philadelphia Coal Co, headed by
Colonel ID. B. Wentz, president of the
National Coal association, called on him

below prices other people were paying
at the time" the officer said.
Chairman Calder called attention to
testimony that So Pennsylvania mines
were producing coal at $40 a ton in
September.
"Who got the difference when you
were paying ten dollars or more?" lie
asked.
Il don't know" said Colonel Barney.

THANKSGIVING DAY

The first American Thanksgiving Day was cele-
hrated 800 years ago. If you think that you
haven't much to be thankful for, this year, turn
back the clock to that first Thanksgiving. sss .
The Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock Dec. 20,
1920. 1t had taken them 63 days to cross the At
lantic Their first winter was terror of bitter
cold, disease and starvation. The woods were
full Of game, but they were not skilled at hunting.
They had no fish hooks small enough for shore
angling. CLANS were their chief food.
There were 102 Pilgrims in that original settle
ment. Death claimed half of them during the first
winter.
In the spring, an Indian named Sqaunto taught
them how to plant and cultivate corn. Autumn
brought the first harvest. The pioneers celebrated
with the first Thanksgiving Day
Though the Pilgrims underwent frightfu hard
ships, such as crop failures and usually had little
to be thankful for, they continued Thanksgiving
Day as permanent yearly custom.

CONDEMNING THE FRAUD

Chairman Fordney based his American valua-
ton monstrosity in the tariff bill upon an intent
to overcome the advantage foreign manufactur-
ers had over American manufacturers as The re-
suit Of the slump in European exchange. Prob
ably it never occurred to him that means should
be taken to restore the exchange equilibrium and
that the most certain means were to facilitate
commerce and trade between the United States
and Europe. It is a reasonable conclusion that
protectjonsts of the Fordney stamp prefer to per-
petuate a condition Of which they can take advan-
tage through. ,tarf absolutely prohibitive. And
if this is true they certainly have figured out the
way.
f.. The New York University Bureau of Business
Research has completed an inquiry for expert
|opnion on the operation Of the valuation system
conducted chiefly a. '>r'fessors Of economics.
The view from this angle is interesting as already
we have had an expression Of profound condemna-
ton from the class of business concerned with for
Ieign trading The expert economic opinion is al
most unanimous that the system would decrease
exports, decrease revenues, increase depression
and unemployment, add to the living cost and in
general affect adversely every phase of trade and
industry in the United States.
This, if entirely true, would not daunt Mr.. Ford
|ney and his high protection clique. Suppose it
did shut out imports-Would not that give the
special privilege group the monopoly of produc-
tion that after all is what they are after? But
lit is an unsolved mystery how Mr.. Fordney can

A London newspaper, the Opinion, prints a
cartoon with the caption, r"Who won the war;"
The cartoon shows three men:
John Bull, labeled, '"The man who thinks he
did,"
Uncle sam labeled, "The man who guesses he
did"
Is A German, labeled, The man who VIA knows kqlllo he
did, The point in the cartoon is fat satchel
of orders, held by the German.
Such is the common notion, and asifalse one.
It is true that Germany is getting q lot of orders.
But that doesn't make her win the war. The

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION

Governor R. A. Nestos is taking broad view
toward the clean up job that confronts him. his
IS not an easy task and in every worthy effort to
uphold the integrity of the state he should be
piyen the earnest cooperation of everyone who IS
bio enough to place the good of the state above
selfish desire.
Bismarck welcomes the new officials, the first
to be seated as the result of state wide lrecall
electi6 they will ffna In the various official and
semi i-official organizations of this city that spirit
Of cooperative effort to promote the best interests
Of the state without thought of sectionalism, but
only holding in mind the greatest good to the
greatest number.
Mr.. Nestps, and his colleagues, Attorney Cen
eral johnson and Joseph A. Kitchen, commissioner
and labor, are going to be too busy
for the consideration Of theoretical programs or
political fence building. Their first and most
pressing lob is to get at the facts OF the state $
finances and the extent to which the credit OF the
state is pledged.
The first weeks will be busy ones and the notice
to lob hunters to keep away is timely for the work
of pruning expenditures rather than increasing
the budget to take care Of political henchmen IS
the main consideration.
On behalf of the Capital City, The Tribune ex-
tends hearty welcome to the new state officials
and sincerely hopes that they can do much to re-
store normalcy and restrict state government to
its proper functions and to provide the gradual It
not the complete abandonment OF Industrial pro-
grams and other socialistic ventures Il.

SHOULD BE PROTECTED

One mess that must be cleaned up as speedily
as possible is the BODYBUILDING Association Many
innocent purchasers Of state built homes invested
their money upon the assumption that the figures
Of cost given by the agents of the state were trust
worthy.
They should be protected No one expects the
state to repudiate its contracts even though the
agreements were not in writing. The intent OF
the law is plain and with few exceptions,
the people who embarked on the scheme believed
their homes would be within the cost limit as fixed
by the officials of the BODYBUILDING association.
If there are legal barriers to the state assuming
the difference in costs, and the home owners are
in danger Of losing their equity their original
investment should be refunded and the state
should take over the homes to salvage them for
the protection ,of the taxpayers. That there are
going to be losses is evident. Mr. Nestos and his
legal advisers probably will work out a feasible
plan that will mean justice to ALL
The state, however, must make good on its
promises and where performance of the unwise
promises Of the recent administration is impossi-
BILE there is nothing else to do but refund the pro-
perty owners money and take over the homes.
Equities acquired in these homes upon the as
sumption that the state was going to complete
them within the limits set by the state should be
protected. The state can hardly afford to less
than reputable corporation would in the same
exgency.
