MORE BUSINESS II GOVERNMENT.

The government of the United States is the
i greatest business in the world and the adj
ministration of President Harding has insisted that
the best business methods should be established.
For decades business men and thoughtful citizens
generally have been urging the establishment OIL a
Federal Budget System to make possible coordlna-
ton of the different executive departments and
cooperation between the governmental agencies
which raise revenue and those which spend It. Th1s
is the application Of just plain common business
sense to a great business problem. Accordingly a
Republican Congress promptly passed 4 budget
law which President Wilson promptly vetoed,
On March A. 1921, the new Republican Congress
came into being it promptly passed budget law
which President Harding promptly sisned. lhls
law has been in operation under the efficient man
agement OF General Dawes less than a year yet
in that time it has saved of the tax payers money
more than a billion dollars.
Theories do not count for much but actual facts
do. Here is an actual tangible saving under Re
publican methods Of a billion dollars a year
more than SIS, 100000 every day. Economy after
a Democratic Administrations is not a theory. = Is
a necessity Democratic administrations do not
solve problems, they make them; they do not
pay debts, they create them. It is the business OF
Republicans to solve the problems and pay the
debts and that is what we are doing.
Better business methods in government are
Immediately rejected in better government credit.
United States bonds that were selling a year ago
at ST are now selling at 80, and going up every
day. Government bonds are a thermometer OF
finance and this thermometer shows government
credit going up at one per cent a month. we told
the people to hold their government bonds-the
Republican party would bring them back to par,
and it is doing it.
Two very tangible reasons why government
bonds are approaching in value are furnished by
two recent reports of the United States Treasury.
One report shows that for the five months period
beginning July 1 this year the federal expenses
were 500, 900. 900 less than for the corresponding
period under the Democratic administration in
1920. This is reducing the federal expenses at the
rate of 500, 900, 900 a month, or $1,2o0,Oo0,OcO
a year as compared with the operating expenses
during the closing year of the Wilson regime
Simultaneous with this report the Treasury
shows that the gross debt of the United States
government has been decreased by over $4S5,oOo,
Cos within ninety days.

1t is difficult for the American people to realize
the strength and power of the American Legion.
President Harding in an address at Marion, given
this week before a reunion Of several thousand
World War veterans expressed his faith in the
ability of the American Legion to take care of
America in the face of any danger that threatens
this country. The president spoke truly. II the
American army that furnished the strength to
definitely settle the German forces cannot protect
America, and cannot rise when occasion demands
to meet a threatening dam ger, then America is In
A bau fix. The American Legion represents the
biggest organized power in the United States to-
day, and in the halls of the American Legion Posts
scattered throughout this country should be taught
the first principals of Americanism and the inn
mutable abiding respect for American laws upon
which the country must rest.

next winter in ireland as it is this summer, really
better because it will not be SO warm and more

in the winter and it may be that the American
farmer is not counting Ireland in on his potato
crop this summer. The thing to do now IS to rest
up a little and lay something by to fight on after
the crops are stored away.

 Skinny Shindle told me Miss Wal ton gave him the note about 2:30 D. m. Now on that afternoon I hap pened to be at the Prescott ranch. Miss Walton was there visiting Miss Prescott.

q am eighty-threo years old and doc tored for rheumatism ever since came out of the army, over 50 years aso. Like many others I spent money freely for so-called cures and I have read about Uric Acld until I could almost taste it. I could not sleep nights or walk without pain; my hands were so sore and stiff I could not hold pen. But now I am again in active business and can walk with ease or write all day with comfort. Friends are sur prised at the change You might just as well attempt to put out fire with oil as try to get rid of your rheumatism, neuritis and like complaints by taking treatment supposed to drive Uric Acid out of your blood and body. It took MT. Ashelman fifty years to find out the truth. He learned how to get rid of the true cause of his rheumatism, other disorders, and recover his strength from "The Inner Mysteries now being distributed free by an authority who devoted over twenty years to the scien- tihc study of this trouble.

Court Rules Detroit Millionaire Mist Serve His Term In Jail
 Denied New Trial.

Detroit, Mich, March lS.-Denied a new trial yesterday afternoon by the state supreme court John Duval Dodge, son of the late John F. Dodge, automobile magnate. sentenced to five days in the Detroit House of Correc- tion Thursday for speeding, was back in that institution last night. John P. O'Hara, attorney for Dodge, pre- scented petition asking an order against Judge Bartlett, who sentenced Dodge. to require the .jurist to show why a peremptory writ of mandamus should not be issued agants him to grant Dodge new trial and to re- lease him on bonds pending that trial. The petition was denied and Dodge must serve his five days sen tence. At the House of Correction Dodge was once more dressed in the prison uniform.
 The supreme courts action was the second rebuff Dodge received during the day Judge Jayne in circuit court dismissed the writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge Richter under which Dodge was released from the House of Correction yesterday morn ing. Following Judge Jayne's de cison, Dodge's attorneys appealed tc the supreme court.
 The writ reached the prison at a. m, just as Dodge was to be as signed a task as a dishwasher, coa pile shoveler or furnace fireman.
 Dodgc's first night in prison was ar uncomfortable one. At 10 p. m Thursday the prison night physician passing through a corridor, noticed that Dodge appeared ill. His tenn perature was 101.3. The physician ordered him to hosptatl cot. Int order brought forth vehement com plaint from the other prisoners. who declared their millionaire fellow 1 prisoner was being pampered. i Dodge had planned eating lunch
