Politics Another Handicap

Politics comprised another impor-
tant hurdle, Mr.. Lamont declared, cit
ing The veto Of the bonus bill by the
President as praiseworthy and the
tariff act as an instance Of measures
necessitating the careful selection of
legislators. With reference to the
tariff bill, he said:
eve shall be fortunate, indeed, if
We do not find that in practice it pro-
tects lot of industries that do not
require protection, and cuts off from
our farmers and manufacturers lot
Of foreign markets that are ready to
buy our commodities. Many of our
people still fail to realize that the
word trade means, in the final an
alysis, an exchange Of goods or serv-
ices. Many Of US still cling to the idea
that international trade, as the term
applies to America, means that we can
sell freely to all the markets of the
world and in turn need buy from them
little or nothing. This theory, which
seems to be the basis of much of our
tariff legislation, will, if pursued, sure
ly wreck a big part of our foreign
trade"
Turning then to Europe, Mr.. Lamont

and were paying for them by contract
ing the debts just described. Ought,
therefore, any part Of this first half
OF the debt to be Cancelled by the
american taxpayers? | do not attempt
TO answer that question, which. Of
course, has been raised many times
heretofore. simply bring it up again
ana urge you to think about it. and if,
When you reach a conclusion express
that conclusion out loud.
Choice Determined by Fate
One thing is certain: If some one on
April q, 1917, had been able to give US
our choice as to whether we should
rather give up freely and for all time
So,o00 O0,000 in money or give UP the
llves OF several hundred thousand Of
our sons there would have been no hes
ltatlon as to our choice. Fate, how
ever, was the one that determined that
cholce. 1t determined that Great Brit
ain and France should give up the
iives during that first year and that we
should furnish, not our blood, but our
money, taking in place of it the prom
ises-to-pay of our allies. No other
policy at the time could have been fol-
lowed, l grant you, but now that the
war is behind US and we can take
long look back, is it wise for US, is it
Just, ls IL generous, to make some COM
position of this matter?"
Preliminary to his discussion of in
ternational Indebtedness Mr.. Lamont,
admitting progress omestically toward
prosperity, nevertheless, saw some
hurdles to jump" Low prices for ag-
ricultural products, complaint of
farmers, could be readily met, he
thought, as he never had known Of
country "going broke" because Of its
abundant crops. A moro important
hurdle in the race to prosperity he
found in labor strikes. He deplored
the feeling of labor that it should share
in prosperity but not in adversely, but
sympathized with the ambitions of la
Dor for better living conditions. He
visualized the problem of capital and
labor as one never wholly to be worked
out, but to be met little by little, and
only by putting ourselves in the other
fellows shoes and getting his view

JOPLIN HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
TO FORT SMITH

With the defeat of Joplin High
school by Fort Smith, Ark, High at
Fort Smith Saturday, Little Rock and
Dallas, Texas, remain as the only un-
defeated teams in the Big Eight In
the interschoolastic conference of the
southwest.
Dallas plays Little Rock in the
Arkansas City Thanksgiving day, and
on the outcome of this contest will
the championship rest. Snould Little
Rock win, the team would take the
conference title, but should Dallas be
returned victors, Little Rock and
Joplin would be thrown into tie for
first place. Dallas would not be
eligible for the championship by
virtue of having played but two con-
ference games, whereas three are
necessary.

HOUSE MAY ADOPT
SUBSIDY ACT
Harding Advised However. That
Measure Has No Chance IN
Senate.

Washington, Nov. 25.-Belief that
some Republican irregulars from the
central and western states may absent
themselves when a vote if taken on
the administration subsidy bill rather
than go against the president, today
increased the confidence of Repubh-
can leaders that the measure will go
through the house when the show
down comes next Wednesday.
However, regardless Of whether
any of the western members are pres
ent, leaders claim they have a ma
jority in sight. They admitted it
would be slim majority, however.
Senate leaders today advised the
president that his subsidy bill had
little chance in the senate and advised
him not to push it.

SAYS A FORMER SUFFERER
Unionville, Mo-, Man Tells of Mild
Treatment Which Causes Growth

Cancer sufferers who have been ad-
vised to have surgical operations will
be interested in the remarkable re-
covery of j. N. Hodson, Unionvtlle,
Mo-, who for seven years had cam
GER on his left cheek. He declined 70
have an operation but, instead, was
treated by mild medical method dis
covered by DR.. o. A. Johnson, noted
Kansas City specialist. "In ten days"
Mr.. Hodson says, my cancer was
killed and had dropped out"
Although it is almost thirteen years
since Mr.. Hodson's recovery, he says
he is still in excellent health. The
treatment responsible for his recovery
was perfected by DR.. johnson after
nearly twenty-five years of cancer
study and research. 1t entirely does
away with surgery. Purely medical
measures are employed; that is, exeer-
nal applications to destroy the cancer
and internal medication to purify the
blood. The treatment usually requires
only six weeks.

and its success may be obtained In a

SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Monett EXPERIENCE

Strengthened by Monet Experiences
Kidney disease is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of backache
headache, dizziness or urinary dis
orders. you should give the weakened
kidneys prompt attention. Eat little
meat, take things easier and use re-
liable kidney tonic. There's no other
kidney medicine so well recommended
as Doan's Kidney Pills. Monet peo-
ple rely on them. Here's one OF the
many statements from Monett people
Mrs. John Richards, zoos Sixth
street, gave the following statement
April 6, 1916: "My kidneys were weak
and in bad shape and caused me a
great deal of trouble by their irregu'
lar action. suffered from an ache
in my back and felt as though l hac
heavy weight on my back. When
stopped severe pains caught me and
could hardly straighten again. Rheu'
matte twinges through my shoulders
made me suffer terribly. hearC
about Doan's Kidney Pills and go
some at Cox & Co.'S Drug Store.
used them and was soon In goo'
health again"
| On January 2S, 1920, Mrs. Richards
said: 81 haven't had any hdne!

cured me some years ago."

CROSS POLINATION OF
CONCORD GRAPES
By James Doyle.
To the Editor of Monet Times.

To the Editor OF MoneCt IlmeS.
In the press reports Of the many
meetings held in Monett and sur
rounding districts for the increasing
of The grape acreage in this section
and also on the care, cultivation and
pruning of the vineyard, the most i'm
portant and far reaching point in my
estimation so far as successful grape
growing is concerned has never been
touched upon.
The setting out of a vineyard is an
altogether difficult and more i'm
portant affair than setting out q
strawberry field, if we make a mis-
take in the setting out of a strawberry
patch it can be remedied, if we profit
any by experience, in the following
year or so, the planting of a vineyard
if good care and attention is given, is
permanent, more so than even ar
orchard and should not be entered into
until we are fully acquainted witt
some of the more important points
that enter into successful and profit
able grape culture.
/ have found out by observation ano
experience the Concord is not all thai
might be desired in productivenesS
and size, and quality of bunch, but II
can be greatly improved by cross
polination with some strong pollef
bearing variety of the same blooming
period, at least | have found it so
although contrary to some OF oul
grape specialists belief.
| have a letter from one of the lead
ing grape authorities Of New Yori
state touching on this point, in whlcl
he says, "Concords have been foun(
in a normal season to be 30 per cen
self fertile, and can be materially i'm
proved in productiveness by th'
variety you (me) are using, and b!
other strong pollen bearing varieties
of the same blooming period.
If the Concord is, in normal yea
only go per cent self fertile, and thl
agrees with my observation, 1T Ger
tainly leaves wide field tor 1nvestl
gatien and Improvement and one
think that should engage the atten
ton of some of our grape experts, AM
boosters just as much, and more thal
increasing the acreage. Let them ge
busy, there is a great deal to be learn
ed here if we are to succeed in this
mans sized job.
