WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness = those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,
make work a burden and rest impos-
sible. Don't be handicapped by a
bad back-look to your kidneys.
You will make no mistake by follow
ing this Pocomoke City residents
example.
J. Wood Tull, ship carpenter, 821
Second ST., says: MY kidneys
caused me to suffer a great deal at
times. l was often so lame in my
back 1 could hardly straighten, es-
pecial. y mornings. l couldn't get any
rest at night. When l stopped l had
sharp catches over my kidneys. The
action of my kidneys was irregular,
but Doan's Kidney Pills, purchased
at Clarke & Co.'S Drug Store, re.
moved all this trouble and my back
was soon well and strong"

AGRICULTURE

American farmers as class will be
poorer at the end of 1922 than they
have been in the last half century,
and they face 1923 with hardly any
outlook for any improvement Of their
condition. High taxes on their lands
and chattels, excessive freight rates
or what they market and buy, the
profteers' tariff, and unremunerative
prices for their products are among
the factors which have deprecated by
many billions the wealth and savings
OF farmers during the last eighteen
months.
In the annual report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture Secretary Wal
lace says:
"On 155 farms in Ohio, Indiana, and
Wisconsin in 1913 the income avail
able for the owners labor, profit, in
terest on capital and taxes-that is
receipts less expense other than tax
es-averaged $1,147 per farm.
On these same farms in 1921 the
estimated income available for labor,
profit, interest on capital, and taxes
averaged $771 per farm.
Taxes absorbed one-third the farm
income in 1921 as compared with less
than one-tenth in 1913.
1t is worth noting that all three of
the states instanced by Secretary Wal
lace have been in charge of Republi-
can administrations for the last four
years and one Of Wisconsin,
for decades.
The Republican tariffs have not only
failed to help the farmer but have
actually added significantly to his bur-
den. The prices he gets for his grain,
cotton and other products are depend
cnt on foreign demand. They must be
sold abroad in competition with the
products of other countries. No
American tariff can alter this situa-
ton or operate to give the American
producer a favorable market. But
while utterly ineffective as a stimulus
tc agricultural prices, the tariff does
increase the cost of living for the
farmer and every other individual and
class. 1t enhances the price of food,
clothing, fuel, implements, lumber
tools and all else the farmer needs.

A movement is on foot for the es.

be to turn the present building over

WEATHER MIXTURE
Thunder, Lightning, Wind
Rain and Snow Has Turns

From thunder gust to snow is
some jump but that is what Newark
was served with yesterday and today
in the weather line.
Yesterday there was a thunder and
wind storm combined with rain that
played havoc in these parts. The
wind blew regular gale and did
much damage. Sign boards all along
the line were blown down. The side
of church at Kemblesville was
blown in and damage was done on the
University of Delaware farm. Manv
trees and telegraph poles were also
grounded. Together with all this wind
there was one of the heaviest rains
OF the year and many of the nearby
streams overfiowed their banks. There
was considerable thunder and light
ming.
Today the rain had gone and this
morning snow had taken it's place.
Ihe wind was not near as strong to-
day as yesterday. In less than an
hour yesterday afternoon the mercurv
dropped over IS degrees.

Ever since the start was made to
house fire company in Christiana
there has been opposition for some
unknown reason and in the past two
months there have been disastrous
fires in the community which could
have probably been extinguished had
there been a fire apparatus there.
The local fire company is always
called when there is a fire at Chris
tiana and this is quite run in case
of a fire and during the storms of
the past few months it would have
bee nimpossihle to get the local ma
chine to the site of fire in the

Need of Apparatus Brought
Out by Fire this Week

An example of the need of a fire
company at Christiana was brought
to the front again this week when the
home of George Alcorn and it's con-
tents were destroyed.
Plans are underway at the present
time for fire company in the nearby
community but it is a known fact
that there is opposition in some quar-
ters to such an organization but the
promoters are going ahead with their
work and. hope to be able to obtain
their apparatus in a short time.
