AREA EASIER
No Troops Will Be Sent Into William
son County as Recommended by
Military Board.

HeIrin, ILL.,, June 2d.-With the de-
parture of Governor SmalPs special
military commission headed by Major
General Milton J. Foreman, and the
announcement of its recommendation
that no troops be sent into Williamson
county at the present time and that
these national guard units which had
already beer mobiIized and held in
readiness be ordered home, the situa-
tion in the coal fields was easier to-
night.
Residents of the county, farmers,
mine union officers and business men
almost without exception said they be
lieved the recommendation wise one
and hoped it would be followed.
General Foreman, in announcing
his recommendation, said that his
EMISSION was very clearly defined.
1t was TO determine whether it was
necessary or eXpedient to send state
troops into the mine fields at this
time.
General Foreman, after an active
day of investigation which began at
o'clock this morning, declared ne
was satisfied no good purpose would
be served by calling out troops at tins
time. In his statement he declared
he believed that the disturbed condi-
ton in the county had been perman-
entirely relieved and that it would not
recur The only reason, he asserted
which would cause recurrence, would
be renewed attempt to mine coal and
this he did not believe would be done
None of the old established Goa
companies favored attempting to oper
the mines at this time the general
declared.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

Strong and Healthy.
All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the blood
They work night and day. When
healthy they remove about 500 grains
of impure matter daily, when un-
healthy some part of this impure mat
ter is left in the blood. This brings
on many diseases and symptoms
which very widely but may include
pain in the back, headache, nervous
ness, hot, dry skim rheumatic pains,
gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight
and hearing, dizziness, irregular heart
debility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep the
filters right the danger is overcome.
Doan's Kidney Pills have proven an
effective kidney medicine.
Mrs. J. L. Agan, Gil Fifth street
Monet, says: Il have had attacks
of backache and my back would be-
come weak. knew this was caused
from my kidneys and they annoyed
me great deal by their irregular ac-
ton. One box or so of Doan's Kid
ney Pills which / got at McKees Drug
Store have always rid me Of such at
tacks and regulated my kidneys to q

The large barn belonging to A. l..

At one time this was a national
calamity, but Congress passed a law
over Mr.. Wilson's veto. repeating the
act and thereafter the daylight saw

an introduction to an abbreviated
tale of what the Rotary club men,

them that at Fridays meeting they
would be expected to appear "as of

his arrival in Rawlins, after exactly
10 years absence, in October, 1892.

The regular weekly meeting Of the

Thursday and a profitable session
was held. Two guests were present
and spoke briefly upon invitation OF
the president, Hon. v. J. Tidball,
presiding Judge of the Second
Judicial District, and ]. 8. Schwartz.
the contractor who is Just complet-
ing the installation Of the sewer
system.
Judge Tidball took as his theme
the duty Of all to register and vote
and this was later the subject OF a
called upon by the good-fellowship
chairman. Kleber H. Hadsell. Two
new members were elected by bal
lot. NJ. M. Armstrong and Fred Solder.
The Lions were RECALLED with delic-
ious elk steak, through the courtesy
OF l.. E. Armstrong, who had just re-
turned from the big game region.
The Lions went on record in a set
of stirring resolutions as being 100
pei cent in favor OF voting approval
on the question of water bonds, the
proceeds of which will provide a new
water system for the city with an
abundant supply OF pure domestic
water, which will be piped from the
Sage and Beaver creek area. The
resolutions were adopted with a

that an invitation be extended by
the Lions club to the Salt Lake City
Board of Trade to come in as large
numbers as possible and see for

instructed accordingly.
Recognizing the fact that winter
is approaching and that demands for
charity will without doubt become
more numerous from now on, the
Lions decided to appoint a Charity
Committee, to Investigate certain
specific cases which were mentioned
and to make a report at the next
meeting. The general subject of

a view Of instigating a movement for

SHOWS COVER FORESTS
AyERTING FIRE DANGER
UNTIL ANOTHER SUMMER

Forest Ranger Williams, reporting
from the primary fire outlook at
Medicine Bow Peak to the forest gu
pervisor of the Medicine Bow ma
uonal forest at Laramie. early In the
week, stated that the weather there
was clear and cold, the storm had
apparently passed to the northward
and the fall of snow OF the Snowy
range was four inches in depth,
while he could see snow lying on Elk
mountain, al Sand lake and on all
the open spaces on the southern and
western portions of the forest. For
est Guard Benham reported from
Fox Park that four inches Of snow
fell there Monday, and that two
inches were remaining on the
ground. It thus seems that Colonel
Jack Frost and Old Man Winter have
rung down the curtain on what Is the
longest and dryest fire season in the
history of the forest. 1t has been SC
dry that even the spruce swamps be-
came actually dusty. Forest officers
are being warned, however, not to
get too optimistic for the reason that
light and indications are for con-
tinued fair weather, which with the
fall winds, would make fire hazards
worse than ever
The records Of the fire season OF
1922 on the Medicine Bow forest
contain several noteworthy features.
There were two fires on the Brush
creek district which has been dubbed
the "Asbestos". district due to the
fact that no fires have occurred there

DESTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. The
open insults which Democratic lead
ers are so freely handing each other

Der. election" declares the Republic

president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. when Democrats freely criti-
else each other and particularly
those chosen for Democratic party
leadership. they are in a poor posi-
ton to ask for votes OF confidence
from the electorate.

Supreme Court, a lifelong Democrat.
resigned in order to become a lead
ing advocate of the league of nations
and asserted that the cause to
which he proposed to dedicate him
self had been without leadership
since the illness OF Woodrow Wilson.
This was a direct and studied reflec-
ton upon such men as Cox. the
Democratic nominee for the Presi-
dency in 1920, and Hitchcock, form
or Chairman of the Foreign Rela-
lions Committee.
Now comes Senator Owen. Of

of the manner in which h Federal

the Foreign Relations Committee.
Nov comes Senator Oven, OF
Oklahoma, with a detailed account
of the manner in which the Federal
Reserve Board conducted deflation In
1919 and 1920 when the Board was
completely under the control OF the
Democratic Administration. In an
effort to relieve the Democratic par
ty from responsibility for that defla-
ton, Senator Owen says that the
acts which he censures were COM
mitted by the board under Republic
an influence BY that line Of rea-
soning he charges the Republican
party with responsibility for acts
committed by the Democratic board.
"In other words, he pictures the
Democratic Federal Reserve Board
as composed Of members who were
either so weak in mentality or
wanting in courage as to make them
readily susceptible to the improper
influence Of Republicans.
Senator owen pointed out two
particular acts Of the Federal Re-
serve Board which he condemned as
being committed under Republican
Influence. One OF these was in July,
1919, when Carter Glass was Secre-
tary Of the Treasury and Chairman
of the board. The other was in the
spring Of 1920 when David F. Hous-
ton was Secretary of the Treasury
and Chairman of the board. At both
times John Shelton Williams. a
Virginia Democrat. was second In
rank on the board and w. p. G.
Harding, an Alabama Democrat, was
governor of the board. These men.
according to Senator Owen, either
had no convictions of their own or
they we're so veal in unfolding their
convictions that they could be dc
tated to by Republicans.
THE chief purpose of Senator
Owens address is to urge the people
Of the United States to restore DEM

ocrats to power. He expects the
people of the country to place in po-
sitions OF authority once more men
who. by his own statement, would be
susceptible to the controlling influ-
ence of members of the opposite po-
ftical party. If the acts Of those
men meet his approval he would take
credit to his own party organization.
II their acts meet his disfavor he
would attribute them to Republican
influence owe q Democratic board.
THE real issue which Senator
Owen has raised is not with the Re-
publicans but with his Democratic
associates against whom he has made
the charge of incompetency or
worse"
