LEAGUELOOMS
LARGE AS 1924
MAJOR ISSUE
Political Observers Believe 1t
May Be Advocated by
Both Parties.
cox AND LOWDEN FOR 1T

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE League
of Nations looms as a real issue in the
presidential campaign in 1924. Whether
il will be the paramount issue depends
largely upon the future international
policy Of the Harding Administration, In
the opinion of political observers here.
Events have clearly demonstrated that
the league" as a terse expression for
international cooperation. refuses to &C
cept a mandate to remain buried under
the avaianches Of 1000 900 majority of
President Harding. Under the weight of
this landslide Of votes, the demand for
the league was more or less inarticu-
late. for a year But it has again found
a voice Many politicians in both par
ties believe IL will be heard until some
satisfactory international policy has
been worked out.
Former Governor James NJ. Cox of
Ohio. refusing to accept his oyerwhelm-
ing defeat as a mandate TO keep silent,
frankly bids for the leadership Of tie
Democratic party. with the league as his
issue. in his jefferson day address in
New York. While this early Lid has not
met with enthusiastic response among
lukewarm Democratic leaders who are
smarting under defeat and willing to let
the league issue stay in the grave, Mr..
Cox started the bail rolling. Once started,
this talk of American participation in
world affairs. Is likely to gather mo-
mentum as times goes on.
cox NOT FIRST
To DISCUSS ISSUE.
But Mr.. Cox was not the first political
leader to revive discussion Of American
entrance into the league. II came from
the other side OF the political fence and
from the other side OF the water. few
weeks ago. former Governor Frank O

Italy, after n study of European condi-
tons declared:
MANY of our problems would be more

Much political signifance is being at
tached to the Lowden interview. The
Cox challenge at home has served to rob
IL Of the appearance of a casual remark
by an European traveller. Il is regarded
as an indication that Mr. Lowden j;

EXHAUSTED NERVE FORCE CAUSES
THOUSANDS TO MAKE FAILURES IN LIFE
Doctor Tells What To DO

Iron, which not only increases tho
activity of the blood making organs,
bat it feeds true red blood food directly
to the blood itself, thereby helping to
create millions of new red blood cells.
This wonderfully increases the power
of the blood to help manufacture new
nerve force, the same as enriching tho
soil increases it's power to grow more
wheat, corn or oats
If you are suffering from nerve force exbsus-
ton. you can quickly and easily prove to your
self tbs power of Nuxated Iron to help over
come your condition and make you strong and
vigorous again By the following simple test;
Make written memorandum of all your synp-
toms before you start, then at the end Of two

When your nerve force becomes
weakened, all the vital organs of your
body lose their normal strength and
vigor, and as result, all kinds of
alarming symptoms may appear, such
as nervous irritability, heart palpita-
ton, indigestion, pains IN the front
or In the back of the head, more
especially at tho base Of the brain.
and a general weakened, rundown
condition. In such cases it's worse than
foolish to waste your time taking
stimulating medicines or narcotic
drugs. Your starving nerve cells
must have more Derve force, the same
as a starving person must have food.
This is best accomplished By increasing
the activity and power of the nerve
force making organs, the principal
one of which Is the blood. This can

fication of interests and Of products the
western part of the State did not suffer
nearly SO much through 1921 as the large
area over the mountains to the eastward.
Also this section has much larger and

The chief resources Of Oregon are lum-
Der, wheat. cattle, fruits, including the

The lumber industry is far and away
the largest interest in the state. They
claim out there that Oregon has more
standing timber than any State in the
Union. They are looking forward this
year to a great movement in lumber, as
well as an increasing domestic demand.
Since the farmers in the Middle Western
States and down the Mississippi valley

COAST GUARD STATIONS
DESIGNATED BY NAMES
New Ruling Will Find Favor With
Enlisted Men AS Well AS
the General Public

\ new ruling that on and after
Jan. /. 1879, all Coast Guard sta
tons will be designated by their for,
mcr names instead of numbers, will
find favor with all enlisted men of
the Coast Guard, their families and
the general public.
The old names were taken from
the respective locations Of the sta
tionS. The present designation by
numbers will 5c discontinued except
for uses Of aviation only. The old
names are bizarre and have Il racy
local flavor. There has been con
siderable outside protest against
dropping these highly favored names
for the dismal monotony of numbers.
Many Of the Coast Guards them
selves have had difficulty in rcmcm-
boring the numbers of their stations.
and quite a few of the families Of
the enlisted men have never learned
the stations by the numerical names,
and still call them by the old ones.
Such names as kitty Hawk. Nil
Devil. Nags Head, Bodic Island, Chi
camacomico, IIattcras and Ocracokr,
really have unique interest, not
only locally. but afar, and they de-
served to be preserved, if only for
their piquancy.
\ big number, ten feet by is feet

tions for guidance of air men. These

THEY WANT A HUSBAND,

Write to Santa Claus, Along

This story might be headed What

And this is what the letter asked
Dear Santa Claus to bring two
girls who inscribed their names at
the bottom.
"Won't you please. bring us for
Christmas Il rich husband apiece. We
would like to have them handsome
and with good manners. And to
have so much money that We Will
never have to go without things
that we want. again. We would like
TO have evening dresses, evening
wraps. and American beauties Ca

anything else that you care to bring
us. Yours with lovc------------.
Mack MorriScttC's idea of an i'm
ipcrSOnation of Santa Claus ut his
store WAS 4 whale of success.
Gangs of children swarmcd about the
! fat old gentleman, verbally urging
him to bring them for Christmas,
what they asked for in their letters.
Those kids didn't mind asking for
things. but one little fellow in his

others that would put many grown
ups to shame. Here is what he said;
please bring me Il little bicycle,
an electric train, some candy, OranS-
