, viewpoint. He probably forgets
that the thousands of people who
voted TO put Mr.. Harding into the
White House did so because they
wanted none of those alliances
which all true Americans know
would mean disaster. America has
not forgotten the wisdom of our
fathers Of Washington and Lincoln.
He also has probably forgotten the
greatest conference ever held, the
most practical 1 might say-that
conference in Washington almost a
year ago which ended with the
first real steps toward world peace
and understanding. The present
administration has dug as deep into
the affairs of the world as it is
safe to dig, and the people of
America know It. The words of
defeated candidate will have little
weight.
"At the conference in Washing
ton. the United States participated
in discussion of world affairs only
so far as this country is interest,"
ed. We did not meddle with Euro
pean politics. Matters of reduction

countries feel closer to the United |

no doubt of the good results of |
that conference. So, for that rea-
son. II for no other. Mr.. Cox's words
will have little weight among those
who read and know what actually

Sterling, Ill, Jan. 19.-The First
State bank of Lyndon was reopened
for business yesterday morning
after having been closed since Jan.
6, following the sudden disappear
ance of Cashier "A. r. Buzzell, who
left a shortage of about $35, 000..
B. H. Ryan, of East Moline, an
experienced banker, has been chos-
en- as cashier and the utmost con
fidence in the choice of the direc-
tors has been expressed by all OF
the patrons of the institution, prac-
tically all of whom have shown a
disposition to continue their pat
ronage of the bank.
A mutual feeling of optimism for
the future of the bank is express
ed by the directors, stockholders
and the people of the community
and that it will enjoy a bigger and
better business than before the rev.
elation oftthe misrepresentation OF
funds by the erstwhile cashier, is
the prevailing opinion. No express
sions or indications were heard or
seen during Wednesday of any for
mer depositor withdraw wing his
funds from the Institution.
A complaint has been filed against
the missing cashier and a warrant
for his arrest on a charge of en-
bezzlement has been issued through
the office of States Attorney r. W.
Besse. An Indictment against the
absconder likely will be returned
at the next session of the Whiteside

Aledo, Jan. 19.-Starting yester-

weather permits, autoists will see
the heavy guards of Aledo patroling
the public highways. No, the
guards are not working for govern
mental interests but merely to lose
superfluous weight gained the past
few weeks, months or years as the
case may be, from inactivity.
Yesterday noon saw a number OF
the last years guards on duty. Now
that the project has started it is
expected that in the near future
great numbers of rotund ladies of
this city will flock to the cause as
they did last year, when it will be
remembered excellent results were
obtained. There is a possibility thai
the army may organize and elect of
ficers, the highest of which would
undoubtedly be named Most High

FARMERS HEAR
TAX QUESTION
BY CARLSTR0M
o. f. Carlstrom Addresses Mercer
County Farm Bureau Heads at
Monthly Meet Tuesday.
Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, Jan. 19.-Oscar E. Carl
strom of Aledo, member Of the Hi
nois state tax commission, spoke
regarding taxation and representa-
ton at the regular monthly meet
ing of the directors and officers OF
the Mercer county farm bureau
held at the Aledo office Tuesday
afternoon.
His viewpoint in the discussion
was received with interest, especl-
ally since argued that there had
been no increase in land values in
the state and that the values nave
been decreased by the tax commits
sion. In the findings of the Illl-
nois Agricultural association it is
alleged that land values have been
increased by the commission as
compared with the values estab-
lfshed by the county boards of re-
view. Mr.. Carlstrom felt that
lands were under-valued as COM
pared with town property and lots
and if any is over-valued it is that
of the railroads.
In speaking of the representation
plan to be adopted by the constitu-
tional convention. he stated that he
favors the limitation of Chicago in
the state senate, and in the lower
house he favors representation
based on the number of naturalized
voters. He stated that. people of
Illinois need not fear Chicago
growth in the next so years as be-
ing any. handicap in representation,
due to the fact that in all likell-
hood there will be a heavy drift
back to the farms. He further stat
ed that the main reason for Chi
Cages large growth in the last 10
years was the need for manufac-
tured goods and great numbers of
people rushed there.
Various important business mat
tiers were discussed Quotations
we're submitted for the publishing
contract of the bi-morthly farm
bureau bulletin, and was awarded
the Democrat Publishing company
of Aledo. A general discussion was
held relative to projects of render
ing service to members during the
| coming wear. Taxation occupied a
prominent place in this discussion.
r. A. Newcomer. treasurer of the
organization, stated that the finan'
eial condition of the farm bureau
was excellent. Out of numerous
checks sent out the first of the year
for collection it was shown that
approximately so per cent of the
remittances had been received.
The directors were well pleased
with the treasurer's report.
Advisog P S. Richey has made
arrangements for an agricultural
short course to be held at SherrarG
Feb. IA, Is. 16 and IT, Four big
days for residents of the county.
Mr.. Richey stated that the coopera-
ton of the extension department of
the University of Illinois, the Hi
nois Farmers Institute, citizens of
the Sherrard community. and Pro
lessor o. S. Cade of the Sherrard
community high school have made
the event possible Approximately

assist in the work.
