CORN PRICES SOARING;
WORLD SUPPLY SHORT

Corn marketing conditions unpre-
cedented at any time in the last six
years are stirring up the liveliest sort
of interest among grain traders in
Chicago this week. The outstanding
features attracting attention is that
within about 60 days the value of corn
has scared II cents bushel at a
time when the bulk of the corn still
is in producers hands.
What this situation means to the
farming community and to the bust
ness relations of the country at large
was authoritatively discussed in a
statement issued by b. w. Snow, of
Bartlett Frazier Company, former as
sistant secretary of Agriculture at
Washington. Mr.. Snow said:
"The advance in corn is not specu-
lative in character, but is the result
of growing appreciation in market
centres of the country situation. The
crop is some three hundred million
bushels short of last year, and the
stocks of old corn carried over are
about lOO,0OO,00O bushels smaller
than year ago."

Group Meetings For
School Teachers

The fourth of "A series of group
meetings planned by the Superintend-
ent and the Supervisor for the ele-
mentary grade teachers of Worcester
County was held at the high school
building in Berlin, Friday, November
oath. The twenty-eight teachers OF
the East and West Berlin Districts be-
longing to this group were present
with the exception of two, who were
absent because of unavoidable rea-
sons.
As one of the major objectives fol
the present school year is the bring.
ing up of all school boys and girls in
the county to the standard in reading
this subject was given special empha-
sis in the program. A demonstration
lesson in reading was given by Miss
Aralanta Coffin, followed by discus
sion. Suggestive lesson assignments
were brought in by each teacher OF
the group. Good and bad reading
habits were discussed, while at the
same time suggestions were offered
for strengthening the good habits and
eliminating the bad ones.
Following the discussions, Superin-
tendent Humphreys spoke on the
necessity of having a carefully work
ed out plan of work in order to save
time and to insure the realization of
our statewide objectives for the year
He also spoke on the advantages of
definite lesson assignments each day
in all subjects and recommended that
DR.. Dewey's statement, Learning
proceeds most effectively in the light
of specific purpose" be made the
theoretical lodestar for the remainder
of the year.
The next of the group meetings will
be held in Snow Hill, Thursday, Dec
ember 7th.

DAVID HICKMAN
GETS POSTOFFICE
His Name Sent TO Senate by President
Harding, Who Appointed Him
Postmaster of Snow Hill.

Much to the surprise of most of
the people of Snow Hill, David S.
Hickman has beeE appointed Post
master of this town. The surprise
did not result from any feeling of
the unfitness Of Mr.. Hickman, but of
the Willingness Of Postmaster Riley
to quit. Hefwas appointed temporary
Postmaster to succeed J. Samuel
Price, who resigned about a year ago,
and it has been well understood that
he could continue to hold the job
indefinitely.
But you can never tell what politi-
clans are going to do; so Mr.. Riley
steps out and Mr. Hickman steps in.
Mr.. Hickman is we'll qualified for
the Office and will likely make a good
Postmaster. He had the endorsement
of many prominent business men, re-
gardless of their political affiliation.
He will take charge of the Office as
soon as the Senate confirms him.

Both of The Old Parties
Are After Daugherty
New Progressive Bloc In Congress Is Lining Up
To Press Impeachment Charges
BY EDWARD PERCY HOWARD

Special to The Messenger
Right on the heels of an open at
tack on Attorney General Daugherty
by Representative Oscar +. Keller, of
Minnesota, and Representative Wood
ruff, of Michigan, announcing that
these gentlemen intend to press to a
conclusion the House impeachment
charges approved in formal House
resolution al1aigning the Attorney
General, Mr.. Daugherty has written
a letter to Representative Volstead
asking that a copy of the charges be
supplied to him so that he may aid in
bringing the hearing to head.
Keller and Woodruff. backed by
Representative Royal c. Johnson, of
South Dakota, openly allege that the
Attorney General has sat firmly on
the war fraud lid, that he has failed
to prosecute fragrant cases of alleged
robbery of the government, and that
no amount of prodding, seemingly,
will get him to function in the courts
against those who. are accused of
frauds running even into the millions.
They state that the election returns
show a determination on the part of
Sthe people to stamp out graft and
eruption in government, and that the
.tion is not getting any aid along
is line from the Department of JUS
e.. They contend that evidence of
ar frauds has been in the hands of
e department more than two years.
"This inactivity on the part of Mr..
augherty is not due to lack Of evil
snce," says Representative Keller,
written statement. Experienced
osecutors have declared that in
ny cases the evidence is sufficient
proceed to trial without further
,tigation. Mr.. Daugherty himself
than year ago officially stated
was in possession Of evidence
ut to establish criminal con-
in a case involving millions
ars. Attorney General Daugh-
not yet presented this case

The closest personal advisor of one
of the richest men in America recently
told us that his friend, whose income
is several million dollars year,
needed no counsel in the game of get
ting, but he eagerly sought help in
the game of giving. To help men
without hurting them was the prob
lem which perplexed him.
"Do live for myself or for others,
am | altruistic or egotistic,-am l
merely my own keeper or am | my
brothers keeper?"-these are the
problems which money forces you to
face; and you face them just as
squarely with four hundred month
as four millions a month.
1t Is good to feed bread to the hun
CRY, but it is better to find out why
they are without bread, to help them
get their own bread than give them
your bread.
The highest philanthropy is more
than charity. The curse of the world
is poverty. The great war of the
twentieth century is going to be the
war against poverty.
SO long rs money represents the
product of labor, the getters and
givers of money will find their oppor-
tunity for happiness only through the
privilege of enlarging the markets of
labor, rightly rewarding labor and
giving just returns to them who in
vest their Drawn and brain for the
good of their brothers as well as for
the good of themselves.

A young man who recently inheri-
ted q mammoth fortune speaking OF
what his friends called his good for
tune" said:
at is not all the good fortune it
seems TO be. With it has come sense
of responsibility that weighs and wor-
ries.
Moreover, no longer hold the place
among my former friends that | used
to hold and want to retain. They envy
me, and envy isolates. cannot asso-
ciate in the same old way. If | enter
tain my friends moderately | learn
that | am accused of being misery.
II | entertain them lavishly ! know
they must feel that put them beyond
the hope of reciprocating courtesies.
! find my money is putting my friends
to the test quite rs much as me. |
am anxious to use my money for the
good of others, not alone for my good.
"Those who can share that thought
with me and help me in that desire
are few. My good fortune has built
a wall about me-"
Money is the insignia of labor. 1t
represents the investment of Drawn
and brain. He who wastes it wants.
He who squanders it upon his own
pleasures and pastimes is forced to
feel the waste even though his re-
sources be so inexhaustible that he
may never feel the pinch.
Mans worth is measured by his
earnest eagerness to help others.

Tanlac Restores Los Angeles Man to Splendid Health After Every
 thing Else Had Failed.

'Tanlac has done me more good than all other medicines and treat ments combined, and that's saying a great deal, for I was a sufferer from indigestion forty years and have tired every kind of medicine that came my way" said R. H. Bowron, 1885 W. 17th St., Los Angeles, Cal.
 T could hardly stand the bad spells I frequently had with my stomach. I was weak and nervous, had no appe- tite, and I felt miserable generally Nothing I took gave me more than temporary relief and gradually grew worse.
 About two years ago Tanlac put me in splendid condition and it has been my standby ever since. When ever I get to feeling a little of, a bottle or two puts me in fine shape. I eat heartily now, sleep fine, have no distress after meals, and, in fact, am enjoying splendid health. Tanlac is just the thing for those who suffer as I did"
