A WARN1NG-An absolutely honest automobile
driver says the other day that he counted twenty
four small children playing the streets of Ftz-
gerald, while he was driving around the city.
Mothers and fathers warned every day of the
danger in permitting ,toddng children on the
highways and streets There is hardly an edition lf
the cosmopolitan papers in which there is not
found story telling of small child either killed
or manned by passing autmobile
Oh course we understand that many drivers are
very careless and continually break the traffic
laws but we will alawys have such people to
contend with and it is safer to keep the children
oil the streets and away from danger Children do
not understand when they are small, the DANCER

heed

FITTING HONORS

Since the organization of Pan
American International Committee of
Women the idea of a wider and stimuli
taneous celebration of October 18th as
Columbus Day has been under consid-
Grafton Last October was to have
marked the initial joint celebration as
they had planned it, but for various
reasons this will be an event of 1923
instead. While about two-thirds of the
states observe the day as general
holiday, It is not legally established.
In the South American republics it
is with few exceptions a legal holi-
day. Anyway the plan to have a similar
and simultaneous program in every
capital city of the states and nations
OF Pan-America is the present aim of
these committees. Mrs. Chas. Hughes
IS chairman of the national committee
in the United States.

The state charters gave to the rail-
roads the right of eminent domain un-
der which lands needed for Their pur-
pose were seized and condemned. This
right of eminent domain was based
on the principle that the right of the
pubic at large is superior to that OF
any or all individuals. 1t was granted
to railroad corporations because rail-
roads were being built to serve the pub
lie at large.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion recently stated in writing to the
writer, that all the capital stock -
amounting December 81, 1921, at par

corporations handling ninety-five per
cent of all its transportation, is
owned by 752,967 individuals, or seven
tenths of one per cent of our popula-
ton.
99.3 per cent OF our population, the
producers, consumers and the public
at large, are not stockholders.
No reasonable conception can be
taken to the number of stockholders
owning and controlling a corporation.
When, however, such corporation are
treated as semi public institutions and
guaranteed a return upon investment,
or alleged investment, directly or in
directly, by the government and at
the expense of 993 per cent of the
country's population, then the 99,3 per
cent can legitimately demand that an
end be made of such practice. Such
are the conditions exist ng today and

Minis act, ostensibly for "a two year

almost instantly penetrates through
skin and flesh and starts right in to
make swollen, inhamed, creaky, pain
racked joints as good as new.
They call this new and wonderful
preparation Joint Ease" because the
r,edicaI man who turned the trick.
worked for years to perfect some low
priced remedy that would really
benefit the millions Of people who
have one or more joints that need
helpful attention.
So Joint Ease" is prepared only
fer people who have a swollen, pain
ful. creaky. distorted or stiff joint,
whether It be in knee, elbow, shoulder.
ankle. neck or finger and whether It
is caused by rheumatism or some
thing else.
OF course. 1t can't help but quickly
put an end to such superficial all

cause Of its penetrating action. but
what Il is really recommended for is
joint ailments Of any nature what

can use it several times in one eve
