Mrs. Kettleson Suffers Injury.

Mrs. KettlesOn Suffers Injury.
The Union on Wednesday evening
was informed that Mrs. A. B. Kettle
son, the correspondent in Zimmerman,
was incapacitated with a sprained
ankle. According to the report Mrs.
Kettleson suffered the injury while
visiting in Minneapolis and just re-
turned to Zimmerman on Tuesday
evening.
The Unions readers ere therefore
forced to go without their usual col
umn Of local news items. Mrs. Ket-
tleson has most faithfully chronicled
the events of interest in her village
for many months and she would not
have failed to do her work this week
if she had been physically able to do
so.
News is important but precedence
must be given to broken bones and
sprained joints.
It is to be hoped that Mrs. Kettle
son will effect a speedy recovery.

Who Are Sick In Body and
Spirit.

Spirit.
Every human being is entitled to
health, happiness and success. It is
positively wrong to be satisfied with
less. Do not fold your hands and ac-
cept ill health as something you can
not avoid or overcome.
Tens of thousands of men and wo-
men from all parts Of the country have
testified that life has been made worth
living to them after they had almost
given up hope. These are the fortu-
nate ones who have been restored to
health and strength by the use Of Tan
lac, by far the worlds most celebrated
tonic medicine.
They all agree that Tanlac brings
feeling of new life and energy to
every portion Of the body and sends
the blood tingling through the veins.

WE SHOULD he THERE.

As President Harding saw fit to call
the Conference on tho Limitation OF
Armaments, which was formal and
deliberate consultation with represen-
tatives OF foreign nations for consid-
Grafton and determination OF matters
growing out OF the World War. Il
seems unfortunate he should have set
his face against our participation In
the proposed Genoa Conference. called
by European nations for consideration
of various economic matters. Attend
oncc upon the latter would have In
volved no more ontangling conse-
ouences than our. participa ton IN tho
Limitation of Arms Conference. and
would have been OF even more cunse-
quenoe.
All Europe is suffering from the de-
moralization into which It's political
and economic affairs were thrown by
the wars upheaval, and concert OF ac-
ton ia necessary TO the work OF re-
building. In this work. our advice
and assistance would be OF great
value. for while We are not SUFFERING
as Europe is suffering, we are far
from normal conditions. And nothing
Is more essential 10 return 20 nor
nal conditions here at home than n
return TO normal economic conditions
throughout stricken Europe.
We could have rendered valuable
service I'm this respect by participa
ton in the League Of Nations but our
Senate blindly shut out this oppor,u.

direction. however. by the Washington

IN COLD CASH TERMS.

As result Of an Investigation made
by DR.. A. Caswell Ellis Of the Univer-
sity OF Texas. at the request Of the
United States Bureau OF Education.
the bureau gives TO the public the fol-
lowing interesting statement OF facts
and figures:
IF you ever hear OF boy or girl
who wants to quit school. when Il ia
unnecessary. IL YOU ever hear of par-
ents who ere thinking OF putting
their children TO work when II Is
unnecessary, just bring these figures
TO their attention:
Every day spent in school pays
the child 50.
Here is the proof. based on the
wage scale OF 1918:
"Uneducated laborers earn on the
average of $500 per year for forty
years, n total OF sZu,ooV.
High school graduates earn on the
average Of $1,000 per year for forty
years. total OF $4,000.
This education required twelve
years Of school OF $50 days each. a
total OF ESQ days in school.
"It 2.iso days at school add $40. 900
to the income for Iife, then each day
at school adds Sa.2s.
The child that stays out OF school

money-not making money"

THE RIGHT OF SEARCH.

An interesting question has been
raised in our local courts. involving
the legality OF a search OF premises
and connscstion OF alleged contaband
property by officers OF the law. with
out due warrant Of authority first
obtained by the latter. The police
raid-d n house. seized property evi-
IDENTIFY employed in the unlawful man
ufacture OF intoxicating liquors. and
arrested the proprietor. The latter.
through his counsel. has made pro-
test and demand for the return Of
the seized property. on the ground
that the raid and seizure We're in vio-
lation Of law, ne alleging the officers
had not first duly sworn out search
warrant.
The rights Of person and property
have ever been first in consideration
In the adoption OF constitutions, be-
ginning with our Federal Constitu-
/ tlon and observed strictly by those
Of the States. The Fourth Amend
ment to the Federal Constitution says:
The right OF the people 20 be secure
in their persons. houses, papers and
effects against unreasonable searches
and seizure shall not be violated. and
no warrants shall issue but upon
probable cause. supported by oath or
affirmation, and particularly describ-
ing the place to be searched and the
persons or things to be seized"
The Constitution Of Delaware. in
Section vi OF the Bill OF Rights. says
The people shall be secure In their
persons, houses, papers and posses
sions from unreasonable searches and
seizures: and no warrant 10 search
any place. or 10 seize any person or
thing, shall issue without describing
them as particularly as may be; MOI
then unless there be probable cause
supported by oath or Affirmation"

. EXALTED CROOKS.

In plays and books the gifted
crooks are daily represented;
our youngsters go TO see q show,
and leave, 1t disseminated. The
"Raffes" stun has pull enough
TO make some young beholder
resolve TO crack some bankers
shack before he's five months
older. Cheap tales OF scamDs
and Gin and vamps the young
ster finds before him; and soon.
alas. twill come To pass that
good things only bore him. The
moral play that shows the way
to higher planes OF thinking,
will make him sigh, This play
shows why strong men resort
to drinking" Contempt for
worth, for all on earth that
may be upward reaching. is
what punk books and movie
crooks and jazzy things are
teaching. In other times great
tales of crimes were told by
moral writer's, and they would
show how death and woe camped
on the sinful blighters. No
reader likes rude William Sykes,
or would with William wallow;
no youngsters yearp his wage
TO earn, or in his footsteps fol-
relief. But now the thief In bold
relief is shown for youths adj
miring; he bilks the hicks and
shakes the dicks. In evil arts un-
firing. Results are plain; for
lawlsss gain our boys forsake
their dinners; the courts are
jammed, the jails are crammed
with adolescent sinners.
