BILIOUS CHILDREN
Black raught, Long in Successful
Use, Praised by an Arkansas
Mother, F'Soon Does
Its Work"


Marmaduke, Ark.-Speaking OF
Thedford's Black-Draught, which from
long use in her household has become
regarded as 'the family medicine, "
Mrs. Mary E. Hill, of Route 1, this
place, says:
- When the children get bilious,
give them couple of good doses, and
when we have sour stomach, headache,
or any liver or stomach trouble, we
use Black-Draught. 1t is an easy laxa,
tive, and soon does the work. Ger.
tainly think It is one Of the best rem
edies made"
Black-Draught acts on the jaded
liver, gently, but positively, and helps
it in its important function of throw
ing out waste materials and poisons
from the system.
In thousands of households Black
Draught is kept handy for immediate
use in time of need. Prompt treatment
often Is half the battle, and will often
prevent slight ills from developing In
to serious troubles.
Its well-established merit, during
more than 20 years u successful use,
should convince you of the helpful
effects obtainable by taking Black
Draught for liver and stomach dis.
orders. Get a package today, and
keep 1t in your house. See that
the package bears the !, words,

CONGRESSMAN DRANE ANNOUNCES

In all probability Congressman Drane would
have been glad to have been able to announce to
his hcme folks here in Lakeland his decision to
again be a candidate for the House of Represen-
tatives of the United States But because of his
attention to his duties at Washington he has been
compelled to tell all the world that he is in the
race even though all the world cannot vote either
fer or against him. But his friends in Polk county
are intimating that he will be returned for an
ether term two years from now, having served his
constituency faithfully and well. This is how MIR.
Drane puts the matter:
1T is somewhat too early to make the an
nounccment that will again be a candidate to sue
coed myself as a member CT the National House
of Representatives from The First Florida District,
but as many Of my constituents have asked me
about the matter think ii only fair to them to
let them know new, through the press, that will
again be a candidate for reelection.
Other than this | have nothing to say at this
time, except that | always have and always will
endeavor to do my full duty 10 my constituents as
| see it.
Il thoroughly appreciate the loyal support and
cordial friendship which my constituents have shown
me in the past and they may be fully assured that in
The future as we'll as in the past their interests will
be mine

OPENING THE WAY SOUTH

ONE MORE DAY

While the results of the first day canvas by the
men and women of Lakeland who have given of
their time and energy in securing funds for the
Lakeland Community Welfare League, have been
gratifying, there is yet much territory to be COW
cred before the desired goal CT ST 900 reached.
Tomorrow will be the second and last day of this
whrlwind campaign for the community chest and
these who have not been interviewed by the com
mttees or have not contributed in some other way,
will have last opportunity to do so. Never has
there been offered a method Of welfare work more
scientific nor based on more economic principles.
1t is scarcely necessary to advance any special ar
gument at this late date but it will not be amss
to emphasize the fact that in this movement there
is practically no overhead" by that is meant that
one hundred cents out of every dollar will go to
the specific purposes stated, the afordng CT relief
or the carrying on Of welfare work among the
boys and girls of Lakeland and surrounding coun-
try.

Florida is in grave danger OF becoming known
as the Strawberry State" While it is too early
for the citrus industry to worry about its laurels,
there is no telling what is likely 10 happen if the
present pace in strawberry production keeps up
For instance, the Plant City district, which a few
weeks ago hirted it might run its money value
total on strawberries up 10 half million. has now
moved the peg up to thrce-quarters Of a million
$4,000. Locks enormous, does it not? Well,
this Plant City output does net take into considera-
ton the score or more of other Florida communi-
ties producing and shipping strawberries to the
Northern and Western markets. There is Starke,
up in Bradford county, Bradertown, Manalce,
Sarasota, and goodness knows how many more
towns all with huge record for berry output so
that Plant City's two million quarts that have
brought in far this season in actual cash So o.
96607 are not the sum total of the berry industry
1t would be idle to guess at this seasons total from
all parts CT Florida but just for the fun of esti-
mating. it might be safe to place the grand total
at moro than million dollars for this enc delicious
kind of fruit.

NO SETTLEMENT YET.

Up to the time of going to press
there was nothing new in the strike
situation, excepting that there have
been rumors Of secret negotiations 60
ing on in the East and the local state
ment that dispatch had come to
officials to take back all on strike.
The hope has been entertained that
a settlement would come soon and if
it be true that negotiations are actu-
ally under way it may come at any
time. The men will welcome a settle
ment that gives them what they been
striking for, but there is no reason.
locally or otherwise, to believe that
they will 90 back to work until a set
tlement is effected and they have been
notified by the union officials.
Conditions on the road are similar
in every respect to what they have
been during the past four or five
Weeks-trains late and the power sit
uation gradually becoming worse.

SUPREME COURT JUDGES.

One election contest is certain to
be decided next Tuesday in the pri-
maries, when the people Of this city
and state cast their votes for supreme
court judges. As the election Of
judges has no place in political party
contests, each voter. regardless Of
party affiliations, will be furnished,
on request, a separate judicial ballot
bearing the names OF all the judicial
candidates Those who receive q
majority vote in the primaries, will
be elected.
Four members Of the present sup
RENE court, Judges Mark A. Fuller
ton, Emmett n. Parker, Kenneth
Macintosh, for the six year term, an
Judge Chester R. Hovey, for the two
year term. Every indication Is that
these men will be returned by a very
substantial majority in the primary
according to the prediction of Tom s
Patterson. secretary Of the committee
for the reelection Of supreme court
judges.
Attorneys in every city and town
of the state have been unusually ac-
tive on behalf Of these four judges,
said Mr.. Patterson at is the lawyer
above all other citizens, who is able
to judge the ability and character Of
judge. and the universal support
accorded by them to Judges Fullerton
Parker, Macintosh and Hoyey is
rightly to be assumed a. indicative
that the judges of the supreme court
have proved high in merit. Lawyer:
also appreciate the worth Of expert.
ence in qualifying judges for Their
work and realize that each year o.
judicial experience adds 10 the value
Of their services. 1t is regretable tha
though active on the bench they mus
participate in political contests.
If the voters are eager to keep our
highest court out of political turmoil
they should take care to return Judge,

TO WATCH
PUBLIC EX-
PENDITURES

"The most essential thing in the
fight for tax reduction is to organiz1
and unite the taxpayers" says state
ment issued by the State Federation
Of Taxpayers associations.
"The high tax rate is the result of
indifference and carelessness on the
part Of the taxpayer, Whenever tax
payers generally inform themselves
closely on legislative matters; when
they study the methods Of conducting
governmental affairs; when they
know as well as public officials how
public funds are spent; and when they
demand retrenchment, economy and
wisdom in handling such funds, then
the tax burden is going to be materi-
ally lessened.
"The principal function of the State
Federation of Taxpayers associa-
tions is to organize taxpayers in each
section of the state and then to CO.
ordinate the work of these local tax
organizations. Seventy-fve per cent
of all money raised by taxation is
expended for local purposes in con-
ducting county, municipal and dis
trict government, hence the greatest
cut in taxes must be made in local
expenditures.
"lf the taxpayers remain unorgan-
lied they will continue to pay higher
taxes each year, with the ultimate
result Of confscation by taxation.
"Taxes can be reduced and will be
reduced whenever the taxpayers de-
mand it, if the demand is backed by
sufficient organized voting strength
and based upon knowledge of public
needs. The taxpayer must first ex-
ercise good business judgment and
then require public officials to con-
duct public affairs along sound bust
ness lines

BUSINESS. INDU USTRY AND
FINANCE IN THE
UNITED STATES
Monthly Summary By Federal Re
serve Board. August 2S. 1922.

The outstanding feature of the
month has been the inherent sound
ness which the general business stu
alton has manifested in the face of the
difficulties encountered. This has
been shown by the continuance Of ac-
tivity at relatively high level de-
spite labor disturbances and despite
the recession of activity normally ex-
pected at this season of the year
Prices of important commodities con-
tinued their upward tendency during
July but during August conflicting
tendencies were apparent. The eX-
cellent agricultural prospects provide
an encouraging outlook for the fall
trade. Furthermore, increase of de-
mand for certain commodities to COM
pensate for restricted output or delay
in placing orders is also in prospect
Even SO, business must necessarily
proceed under handicaps for some
time to come, as a result of fuel short
age and transportation difficulties.
Manufacturing activity in general has
been maintained at a high level. In
those industries, such as automobiles
and building construction in which
seasonal recession is shown, activity
is still far in excess Of a year ago.
Cotton manufacturing likewise shows
some decrease hut the reverse is true
Of woolen manufacturing. The out
put of non-ferTous metals other than
copper has also increased but iron
and steel activity shows some decline
Bituminous coal production has in
creased steadily during the present
month.
The labor situation showed consi-
derable improvement during August,
The bituminous coal strike has beer
settled in many fields and the majority
Of the New England cotton mill work
ers have returned to the factories.
Agricultural prospects on the whole
continue very satisfactory
Wholesale trade suffered a decline
during July a. compared with June
in all lines except dry goods but most
lines were in a better position than a
year ago, especially hardware. Re
tail trade, however, was slightly
smaller than last year Financially
few developments occurred during the
month. The rapid decline Of the mari
has been the outstanding feature OF
the foreign exchanges.

FAREWELL
RECEPTION
FOR HOSKINS

The ladies' aid of the Methodist
church gave q farewell reception We'd
nesday afternoon for their retiring
pastor and wife, The Rev and Mrs.
Vim. Hoskins, which was attended by
large number. The following paper
was read, expressing the esteem in
which Mr and Mrs Hoskins are held
and the sincere regret at their re
moval:
I'VE regret very much that we are
compelled to announce that Brother
and Sister Hoskins are about to leave
this charge, as we have all learned to
love them; they have so endeared
themselves to Us. They are about to
remove from our midst and sever their
connection with this church, in which
they have so long and so faithfully
laboIed as pastor and wife We deep
ly regret the loss of their presence and
most fewently pray for their future
active usefulness in their new field
among new associates and interests,
ever remembering the good influence
of their well ordered lives.
'We can say as we have worked
with them in all branches of the
church work, that we have certainly
enjoyed working with them. They
were always smiling. kind and loving
to all with whom they came in con-
tact. We certainly will miss them as
neighbors and friends. They not only
filled their places in the church, but
were friends indeed in times of trials
and troubles. sickness and sorrow.
Brother Hoskins will be missef
among the fraternal organizations,
where with wisdom and ability he
councilled the application of the Gold
en- Rule-friendship, love, truth.

the impartial manner in which they
presided in all matters of the congre-
cation. s"

FOR SUPREME COURT BENCH

That Judge Kenneth Macintosh.
who is up for reelection to the
Supreme Court at the primaries next
Tuesday. will receive one of the lar
gest votes ever given a member of the
states highest judicial body, is the
belief expressed in a prediction
statement given out by the committee
which has Judge Mackintosh's cam
paign in charge. The committees
conclusion is based upon reports from
all sections of Washington which, it
says, indicate enthusiastic approval Of
the judges candidacy.
"Judge Mackintosh's record of in
dustry and ability on the bench. his
constant efforts 10 expedite decisions.
and the fact that he is Washington's
first native son 10 become a member
of the court, and his pleasing person
atty" says the committees state
ment. "are a combination of traits
which have made wide appeal to the
voters of the state
although no opposition exists to
the judges candidacy, aggressive ac-
tivity on his behalf is in progress
among his thousands Of friends in
city, town and hamlet, with a view to
bringing out full vote and returning
him to the court in the primary on
Tuesday, when, under the provision
of the law. supreme court judges are
elected if they receive a majority
vote
eve would like to call further at
tention TO the fact that the names of
the court candidates are placed on a
separate judicial ballot, apart from
the regular party ballots. and We
especially urge that citizens bear this
in mind and not miss the opportunity
to vote for Judge Macintosh and the
other present members Of the supreme
court"
