IL WIS ucliDcEtttcIN written III t!lc
Republican platform in 1920 to de-
il:Nc the currency and reduce the
values OF thc country. This meant
that if the farmer had purchased
$1,000 worth of cattle before de-
flation should be brought about. he
would be forced to sell those cattle
for $4,000 (asSuminS that the de-
flation was so per cent? If he by
chance borrowed the 81 100000 he
would have to sell twice as many
cattle TO pay Off the debt or to get
even. In short he was the loser Of
just 100000 on the 81 100000 pur-
chase assuming Il 80 per cent della
ton. What is true of the farmer is
true Of all other business except
the class who cornercd the money.
Now the trick has been turned and
thc financial interests and Mr.. Hard
ing are getting busy TO start business
To debate the money was DELHI
eately cornered and contracted
Inder the direction of Secretary
Mellon. Now, assuming 80 per
cent dcilation, the big business i'll
tcrcstS for whom the trick was
turned. will 80 on the market and
buy material, etc, at 80 per cent
less than before dctlation, that is to
say that for every 81 10000 invested
now for raw material they can pur-
chase twice as much as they could
before dctlatiOn. Then comes along
The high protective tariff which
will enable him to sell his products
practically at war prices because it
is the highest tariff ever. When Inc
gang gets behind business and
Ynakes it so in six months time
they can have made up for all loss
sustained by reason of the shut
down III business, as we'll as the mil
lions OF dollars put into the cam
paiSn fund used to fool the people
TO bring about Mr.. Harding's cleo
lion. Why did not Mr.. Harding call
together the railroad heads and
other business heads fifteen months
ago and ask them to reduce rates
and adjust TO start business at once L!
The answer is that time had to be
taken in order to force the squeeze
Out. This is Il simple illustration OF
what has taken place, of what was
deliberately planned by the leaders
of the Republican party. Not-with.
standing the warnings of Governor
Cox and others in the campaign OF
1920. the people rushed into this
trap sloatins over the old war sore.
and voted for exactly what the,
have received. Now, after :he
crime has been committed this
same gang is raising another grca
slush campaign fund to cndcavor &c
fool the people. We ask YOU tc
read what the immortal Lincoln had
10 say on this question Of dcflatior
again which is ut the head of this
article. The Lincoln who was
bounded and abused l.ccausc he
dared stand for the interests OF the
people Just as Wilson was bounded
and abused because he dared stand
for the people. You can fool all
the people some of the time, part
OF The people all the time, but you
can't fool all the people all the time.

OK ENDORSING CANDIDATES.

uN ckUUaSINo UANulURlCS'
|, is almost impossible to pick up
Il state paper nowadays without be
inc confronted with announcement
tiIat some county committee OF some
party has endorsed the candidacy OF
some particular candidate for some
office. Perhaps times have changed
since We used to dabblc in politics..
but in those days, ii was the people
who made the selections Of candi-
dates by whatever method best suit
cd them and the function OF the
committees was to see that every Of
fort was made to elect the candi-
dates so selected. Now it is the
other way about. The committees
meets, selects the Candidates, notifies
the voters to ratify their vest pocket
selections in the primaries, which
have dcgcncrated into farcial per-
formanccS, if they ever were any
thing else, and the voter has moth
ing whatever TO do with ii except to
mcckly obey the commands of his
master. We have about reached that
Stage where, SO far as we are con-
ccrncI, the selection Of candidate.
or his approval by Il county COM
mittcc. prior to The holding of the
primary election. is pima facic evil
dcncc of y cooked deal, and that the
candidate SO chosen is not worthy
of thr support Of respectable voters
dunbar .Adpuncc.
The above is an expression of an
independent newspaper published
at Dunbar. W. Va. II expresses Il
trut.i. In their zeal to promote the
interests of some particular pet TO
receive in turn favOrS, committees
of all parties forget their functions
and duties and try TO control nOmi-
nations. Not only do committees
do this but many news papers do
likewise. There is no one or set Of
individuals better suited to pass on
candidates for nomination than the
people themselves. A primary CAM
paign, no matter what party, is Il
campaign of candidates. 1t is the
duty OF the voters of each party to
lar constituted party committees
should take no hand whatsoever. In
this the party newspapers should
take no hand further than to urge
upon the voters TO investigate each
candidate and to support what they
uhc votcrS) think TO be the best
man. Through the dabbling Of COM
mittccs and controlled newspapers
is the means by which all things
other than the people lave control
of the government. The people
make mistakes, no doubt, but they
can rcctify their mistakes and it is
only by having the responsibility
that they can become more efficient
in government. All the trouble to-
day in government as we'll RS in the
past has come about by committees
forcing something on the people
which they do not want. When any
set Of individuals, be they party
committee of other select group, be-
comes so cgotistic that they no long
cr have confidence in tiIc people to
select their own candidates and the
people become so indifferent as to
permit this to be done, then ii is
time to do away with popular gov
crnment and set up Gar. What
has taken place recently in Indiana
PENNSYLVANIA and Iowa should be
an object lesson to every party
leader and newspaper OF the coun-
try.

CalOmel Good But

You know what Calomel is. It's

should never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, cons

to your druggist and get bottle OF
Dodsons Liver Tone for few cents
which is harmless vegetable substi-
tute for dangerous calomel. Take a
spoonful and if it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you up better and
quicker than nasty calomel and with
out making you sick, you just go back
and get your money.
Don't take calomel! 1t makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's liver Tone straight

MEAT INJURIOUS

Take a Tablespoonful of Salts if Back

We are nation OF meat eaters and

well known authority, who warns
us to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces

glass OF water before breakfast each

is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neu-
trallze the acids in urine so it is no
longer source of irritation, thus end

Red Cross Public Health
 Nurse

In the fall of 1921 the then of ficers of the Ozark Chapter of the American Red Cross employ ed Mrs. Anna Hover as Public Hellth Nurse for the Northern District ot Franklin County and she at once took charge of the work.
 Her duties, among other things, were to visit the schools. inspect the pupils and the sanitary con- ditions surrounding the school. examine the children to deter mine the state of their health at the time, detect any physical defects that might exist. ascer- tain the weight of any children who might be under or over the normal weight for their respect i've sex and age. and to advise with teachers and parents .as to corrective measures.
 Her findings are of particular value in assisting those in charge of children to a knowledge of what is best to do to ward off ap- preaching sickness or affiiction. or to put them upon notice that the services of a physician ara needed.
 Late in the winter the officers found that 1t was impossible. with the means of conveyance at hand. for Mrs. Hover to reach some of the schools and bought for her use horse. buggy and harness. They now realize that this should have been done soon- CT as she would, in that case, have been able to visit every school in the northern end of the county and to have given to the children the advice which might save them from future loss of health. or. maybe, from many years of suffering and affliction.
 It is the regret of the officers of the Red Cross and of the Nurse that she was not able to visit every school in the county before it's close. but, under the circum- stances above mentioned, that was impossible.
