bone out of the parties. Men wearing
the labels of Republicanism are max
ing that party look sick and foolish.
The Democrats are ready to help dig
a pit for Republican feet. Farm
credits may dig that pit.
Once the ship subsidy gets off the
Senate calendar It II as good as dead
and may as well be buried. The
undoubted pressure from the farms
offers as good an excuse as any to
slap the Administration in the face
and discredit it. The shirt of the
farmer is the holy battle flag
of the changing, shifting combi-
nation whose first aim is N to gain
strength for themselves and weaken
the Administration. His wrongs
make resoundinS slogan for q rath-
er motley crew who are making the
most OF it and farming the farmer"
while they are righting these wrongs.
Farm woes are not the only ma
tional problem. The farm issue is,
in fact, beginning to be overplayed;
for, after all, while the farmer is a
vital part Of the Nation, he is not all
of it. Farms are important and
ships are important, and so are
many other things. More impor-
tant than any Of these is the need
that Congress shall keep in mind the
whole Nation, legislate for the whole
Nation and regain it's individual and
collective sense Of responsibility to
that Nation.

PARALYzED IN
An ACCIDENT
Keeps Digestion Sound and
Bowels Regular by taking
''Fruit-a=tiyes"
The Famous Fruit Medicine
De Nova. Colorado.


II have just come here from Van
couver, B. c., and have been taking
your wonderful fruit medicine,
"Fruit-a-tives" for two years. No
other medicine answered my require
ments like yours.
Nine years ago, I was in an acct
dent and the lower portion of my
bowels are paralyzed; therefore, I
need a medicine that does not lose
it's effect, and have been absolutely
satisfied with "Fruit-a-tives" since
began taking them"
Mrs. C. C. REMINGTON.
Now, you might think that any
medicine which is strong enough to
move the bowels when they are
paralyzed, would be too powerful to
be used by a person suffering with
ordinary Constipation. Yet "Fruit-a-
tives" is regularly taken by children,
young boys and girls, men and ,wom-
en- Of all ages. without pain, gripping
or other ll-effects. Because "Fruit-a-
tives" is genuine fruit medicine,
made from the juices Of fruit, and
gains it's peculiar power to cure Con-
stipation because of this fact.

AMERICA RENDERING SERVICE

However much our former allies
across the water may grumble at
Uncle Sans reluctance to interfere
in their age-old neighborhood quar-
rels they have not allowed their pique
to blind their judgment respecting
the value Of our advice and kindly
Offices.
A few days ago the senior British
officer at Smyrna paid a tribute in
his official report to the efforts Of
our naval contingent, that fastened
to that unfortunate city, in relieving
the terrible conditions there. And
when the conference at Lausanne
was at deadlock and the Turks were
insisting on the deportation of the
Greeks and Armenians-and doing it
in defiant manner and as vigorous
ly as diplomatic language would per-
mit-a change in their attitude took
place following the frank talk our
representative, Mr.. Child, had with
Ismet Pasha.
Previous to that the spokesman Of
the British delegation had told them
that if the Turkish policy were al
lowed it would be one of the great
est scandals in the world. that they
would get no support from the rest
of the civilized world but the Turks
sullenly held their ground. Evident
ly it was different when a represen-
tative of the United States, that had
no AK to grind, has no vote in the
conference, but does have within it's
power an influence felt throughout
the world, economic as we'll as po1it-
ical, told them of the brutal, inhu-
mane position in which their policy
was placing them.
1t may fairly be doubted whether
had this country been q participant
in the conference with a vote in de-
Gliding matters. the result would have
been as favorable.
The Turks respect the motives of
this country. They naturally distrust
the motives Of those with whom they
have been quarreling.
This country cannot be isolated,
cannot remain disinterested in such
settlements as is now pending at
Lausanne. but bids fair to demon
strate possibility of rendering a
great service without becoming a
dictator of terms.

School Celebrates

The Town house school, Mrs. Viva
Chamberlain, teacher, celebrated the
Christmas closing day with exercises
OF q novel character. Having pre-
pared an elaborate program at
thanksgiving time, it did not seem
best to give much time to prepara-
tons. Instead Of the usual Christ
mas tree, a life size SNOW man" was
erected in the school room, looking
very real in it's robe of cotton and
artificial snow. At the proper time
tho room was darkened and lighted
with candles and, after a real fairy
tale fashion, "Old Santa" was awak-
ened by songs and dances of the
children, and he delivered UP the pack
OF gifts which were exchanged among
the pupils. The teacher presented
each child with a Christmas token
and she in turn received something
from each: 1t was a very. happy af-
ternoon for all and one that will long
be remembered by teacher and pu-
pills.
Early in the week, Mrs. Chamber
lain placed a small tree on her desk
announcing that each pupil who at
tanned the rank Of 30 or above at the
coming examinations could have his
name placed on the tree. The names
which appeared on the tree are Eth

Editorial Comment
Plows VS.. Ships

.. =. -. (Public Ledger)... :. =.
Senator Brookhart of Iowa, has
been in the Senate less than a month.
Senator Couzens, Of Michigan, has
been there q week.
The two of them have decided that
farm loans are more important than
the fate Of American shipping. They
hold that farmers are more interested
in credits than ships. They argue,
therefore, that the Nation should be.
Both are baby Senator's new
Matched, wet from the shell, serving
the first hours Of their -rst terms.
Just the same, they are able to stand
the so-called Senate majority on it's
beam ends and a Republican Admin
istratiOn on it's head. All they had
to do was to say "Boo!" in a loud
Midwest voice with a farm-bloc
twang and the walls of Jericho began
tumbling down.
Why? Because party responsibility
is dead and party leadership Is dying.
Brookhart and Couzens in a two-man
conference revealed the hollowness of
the Senate majority. Their Senate
poll showed the Administration
subsidy bill could be slain in the
sacred name Of farm legislation. They
thrust their little pitchfork into the
hollow shell and the first thing the
Administration knows, farm credits
may be heading the legislative parade
with the ship subsidy, pet Of the
White House, trailing miserably at
the end.
It is the fashion now to represent a
class, group or >bloc in Congress
rather than district, state, the whole
people or the nation. Members look
to farmer resolutions and labor mani
festoes rather than their party plat
forms.
Hence the blocs that lay their
heavy hands on all legislation not
backed by some wonderful. self-seek-'
ing class. Hence, also these confu-
sions. these skies and sevens and this
running round in circles down in
Washington.
1t will not be hard to stop the
Administration program dead in it's
tracks. The blocs and insurgents
can 90 it. They have eaten the back
