DREsIDENT HARDING has begun

DRESIDENT HARDING has begun
his journey of more than two
months, through the Middle West and
West, to Alaska, and through the PAN
ANA canal to Porto Rico. Already he
has delivered, in ST. Louis, his main
address concerning American member
ship in the world court. He set forth
at length the reasons why he favors
such membership and has now left the
matter to the decision Of the American
people, who, before deciding, will have
plenty of opportunity to hear or read
the views Of the opposition. Mr.. Hard
ing could not be induced to abandon or
be silent about his advocacy of the
world court membership by those who
feared it would cause a party split,
but it is not likely that he will dwell
on the subject in his future addresses.
Mr.. Harding still insists his trip is
in no sense campaign tour in the
interests of his denomination. On the
continent he seeks to get in close
touch with the people west of the Mis-
SiSSippi on paramount issues. In Alas
ka he desires to learn at first hand
what Is the matter with the govern
ment Of the territory and why its de-
velopment is retarded. In Porto Rico
he probably will have to take hand
in Strengthening out the administra-
tion Of the island, for already the new
governor, Horace M. Towner, is being
subjected to bitter attack for the al
legged offense of favoring too markedly
the faction that recently succeeded In
ousting Governor Rely.
Mrs. Harding accompanies the Presi-
Dental party, and seems now to be in
the best Of health.

VXIHEAT marketing and wheat

VXTHEAT marketing and wheat
w prices were discussed thoroughly
Tor two days last week by large
number Of prominent men who met in
national conference in Chicago. There
were governors among them, and con-
gressmen, farmers, railway men and
grain traders. The proposition of
minority group for the fixing of wheat
prices was voted down and a plan was
adopted for the organization of a per-
manent National Wheat council, and
board of directors was named to carry
out the work. Resolutions were adopt
ed indorsing cooperative marketing.

cation of wheat prices. The iRvestiga-

EROM across the water the most SEN
the terrific eruptions of Mount Etna.
Vast volumes Of molten lava flowed
down the slopes of the Sicilian vol
canO, utterly destroying a number Of
towns and rendering homeless many
thousands of persons. For some days
it was believed the larger towns of
LinguagloSsa and CaStiglione also
were doomed, but as the lava river
flowed into the valley between them it
was said by experts that they would
be saved. King Victor Emmanuel hur-
ried to the scene Of disaster to cheer
up the sufferers and promise them re-
lief, and Premier Mussolini later
dropped all other business and also
went to Sicily. United States Ambas-
sador Child and Rear Admiral An
drews arrived on the cruiser Pittsburgh
and were greeted with almost hysteri-
cal gratitude, for Sicily well remem-
bers what America did for her when
Mcssina was destroyed by an earth
quake. The forces Of the Red Cross
were in action promptly, as always,
and there was plenty for them to do
among the throngs of refugees, most
of whom were gathered in Catania.
VeSuvius also has become more ac-
tive and the villages along the Bay of
Naples are badly frightened. There
have been severe earthquakes in 81
IBERIA and South America, as well as
the frightfully destructive Quakes in
Persia recorded a week ago, and
Mauna Loa, Hawaii's famous volcano,
is in eruption.

grain and grain products was fndorsed.
Increase Of domestic consumption of
wheat and wheat products was urged.
Fifteen men from various branches
Of industry and agriculture were
named directors. Among them are o.
E. Bradfute, head of the American
farm bureau; Daniel A. Wallace, Min
nesota, publisher and brother of the
secretary of agriculture; julius Fleisch-
mann, Cincinnati, president of the
Fleischmann Yeast company; Alexan-
der Legge, president of the Interna-
tional Harvester company; F. Edison
White, president Of Armour & Co., and
H. E. Byram, president Chicago, Mil

The rejected minority plan was that
a grain corporation be formed, sup
piled with money from the United
States treasury, to buy all the Ameri-
can farmers wheat as soon as the
price dropped to $1.50 bushel.
Senator Capper of Kansas was one
Of the most vociferous of the con-
ferees, as might be expected, and at
the opening session he seized the op-
portunity to denounce the Chicago
board of trade, asserting that it has
become the worlds greatest gambling
place and fixes the price for the bene-
fit of the speculator and against the
producer and consumer. He added:
'In May, 1922, half dozen grain gam
blers cleaned up something like ST.
100000 in "a hours, which was more
than all the farmers of Kansas made
out Of their entire crop in 1922. This
will not be possible with the Capper-
Tincher law in operation"
Vice President John r. Mauff Of the
Chicago board of trade hotly resented
Capper's charges, denying them abso-
lutely. Afterward he said the boards
directory would soon decide whether
the Kansas senator should not be sued
for damages on account of defamation
of character Of the 1888 members of
the board.

While both the United States and
Canada increased their expectations of
flour during the war, the Canadian

why DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this Observation-Disclosures.

senate killed the bill passed by the
lower house repeating the states en-
forcement act, the vote being 10 to IL.
This had been expected. The British
liner Beregaria sailed from South
ampton with a new plan to foil
our prohibition regulations. Besides
enough liquor in her bar for the trip
westward, she had in her hold, under
quadruplicate British customs seal,
enough liquor for the voyage home, to
be opened only after getting beyond
the three-mile limit. 1t was argued that
this liquor technically was in British
bonded warehouse, and therefore not
liable to the laws of the United States
so long as the seals were not broken in
a United States port. American gov
ernment officials, however, said they
would seize the liquor as soon as the
vessel arrived.

received the Republican nomination
for United States senator to succeed
the late Knute Nelson. He defeated
eight rivals in the primary. The Farm
er-Labor party nominated Magnus
Johnson, and the Democrats named
James A. Carley. Preus is more of a

confscate and reQuisition a force Of
Germans to operate all the Ruhr valley
industries, the output Of which may be
turned to the account of reparatiOns.
Germans who refuse to do this work
will receive Jail sentences up to 10
years, and sabotage may be punished
with death sentences on conviction by
court-martial.
Passive resistance is steadily weak
ening, and this is due in large meas
ure to the food situation. One Of the
German government orders already
has been repealed and firms are now
permitted to pay freight rates on food
transported on lines operated by the
French. One of the latest seizures by
the French was that of the sugar fac
tories at Frankenthal and neighboring
villages.
This serious food situation Is af-
fecting all of Germany, especially be-
cause of the further decline of the
mark, which is rapidly approaching
the worthlessness Of the Russian
ruble. Flour imports from the United
States at Hamburg have stopped, and
importers there have lost heavily be-
cause buyers refuse to take shipments
they ordered. There is a shortage Of
fish, too, and the German high seas
fishing industry is about to suspend
because Of labor and financial troubles.
