 Acklin rode on When he reached the Bulls Head he retired to the little room that served him as an office. and smoked many pipefuls as he pondered over the astuteness Of MT. Bodine.
 In the clean blue and white morn- ing Acklin rode to Webster, Creek.
 All right, Acklin," Bodine an- swered in reply to the others aues- ton. "I'll put my cards on the table. Here they are. I'm going to turn that waterback into the Webster! I've been over the spot where the creeks used to fork hundred times Nature changed that water in one night. I'll do it quicker than that. There is nothing but sand and small rock there.

 Bodine bent over and picked up stick With it he drew in the sand at his feet rough map of the valley.
 Its almost due east from here to the old forks of these creeks. But right there, just as Webster Creek neared the other one, it turned north For almost half mile they paralleled each other before they met. Your line follows this creek across the val ley, only it keeps straight oil right into those foothills. That means that Webster Creek flowed through your property for that half-mile. That's right, ain't it?"

Rheumatic Pains Go Swollen Joints
 Vanish
Rheuma-The One Safe and Quick. Acting Remedy for Rheumatism, Gout and Sciatica. Money Back
 if 1t Doesn't Satisfy.

Thousands of sufferers have freed themselves from the bondage of rheu- matism; rid themselves of the tor turing pain: reduced the swollen joints; thrown away canes and crutch- es, and from helpless beings became able to work and be of use to them selves and their families.
 They took Rheuma; the modern enemy of rheumatism, lumbago, sci- atica, arthritis, gout and chronic neu- ralgia.
 Don't be skeptical about Rheuma. You will know in few hours after beginning the treatment that the pois- onous uric acid is leaving your sys- tenn through the natural channels. You will feel better in a day; you will know you are going to be helped in less than a week.
 Don't think because Rheuma is not expensive that it won't bring you back to health. There is no guess work about it. That's why Clark & Brainerd Co. and good druggists everywhere sell it with guarantee of money back if it does not give quick and blessed relief almost at once.

Days and Nights.
When nights grow abundant in music
Then the "cares that infested the
day"
Come rambling around and bark tc
the sound
OF the jazz that the orchestras play
AS parties hilarious gather
In hope Of joyous release
From worry and work, new bother
ments lurk
Till we have to call in the police.
The bootlegger honks in the highway
A whistle the copper doth blow
Till the din that we hear is a discord
severe,
Worse than all forms of jazz that
we know,
When nights are oerfowing with
music
We wait for the sun overhead
Once more to disclose the belated re
pose
OF a daytime whence cares now
have fed.

Democratic League Views.

The democracy within forty-eight
hours has received diametrically op-
posed advice from two favored sons
regarding what must be done to win
' the presidential election in 1924. Sena-
tor Underwood of Alabama. announced
candidate for the democratic nomina-
ton, has urged the entrance of Amer
lea into the foreign situation in order
to bring about stable world con-
ditions and market for American
products of farm and factory. Senator
David l. Walsh of Massachusetts.
chairman Of the democratic senatorial
/ campaign committee, has declared
that democratic victory is assured
provided the party will go to the polls
on a platform dealing exclusively with
domestic problems.
Both senators have recently returned
from tours of Europe. Underwood
was a pro-lea guer and Walsh an anti
Lacquer during the strife over the Yer
sailles treatey. 1t was noticeable that
in his Montgomery address Senator
Underwood did not specifically declare
a member of the league as IL exists
today. What he did say. however, was
that the United States should adopt
policy that would bring us into
closer contact and permit the United
States to aid in the solution of the
world problems. Senator Walsh, on
the other hand. is outspokenly against
the league and any entanglements
with Europe.
The democrats. for the most part
as a matter of fact, are as clearly
anxious to avoid the old league issue
in the next campaign as their repub-
lican opponents are to force this issue.
The position of the democrats, who
supported the league during the Will
son administration and during the
campaign made by Gov. Cox for the
presidency, is admittedly awkward
when the league is discussed. The
specter of the avalanche of votes un-
der which their party leader was
buried in 1920, when he talked league.

According to some of the republican
end democratic leaders. the American
people are thinking first and last Of
themselves. They have no concern
with what is going on abroad except
so far as the European conditions cur
tail the market for American products.
These same political leaders contend
that the European nations also are
thinking first, last and all the time of
themselves. Why not say that selfish
ness rules the world. new and old,

but an augury of strife ahead. Ma

Russia Holds Her Fate in Her Own
Hands.

Opinions differ concerning the atti-
! tude assumed by Secretary of State
Charles f. Hughes on recognition of
the Russian government. There are
two directly opposite schools of
thought on the Russian question in
the United States and their viewpoint
has been expounded by Senator
| Brookhart and other advocates of
recognition and by Secretary Hughes.
Samuel Gompers and others who op-
pose. Editors are as widely divided
as are the other leaders of thought,
| although this division is by no means
! along political lines, and the great
majority indorse the present attitude
of the administration in Washington.
ITO place the stamp of approval
! on any government that seeks to de-
stroy existing governments through
out the world would be folly" in
sists the Albany News. representing
the opposition to recognition and de-
| ciaring that 1.-The Department of
, State knows the situation better than
| any one, who, as Mr.. Gompers has
pointed out, has studied it under close
supervision of Russian soviet heads"
| To which the Boston Transcript adds
"the fact that in this matter the Sec
| cretary of State sees eye to eye with
| the President of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor is more than a fortu-
itous coincidence. 1t proves that the
| stand of the administration is sound
and logical. The corner stone of
of existing governments." The
Hughes position likewise can be de-
pended on, the Cleveland Plain Dealer
feels sure. ITO discourage the Amer
ican pro- bolshevists. 1t is a whole
some pronouncement, both because of
! its temporary effect on our radical
| theorists at home and because of its
| more lasting effect on the govern
ments of Europe. which for one rea-
son or another would be willing to
! recognize red Russia were the Amer
| ican republic to point the way"
The one note of opposition to this
view is sounded by the Providence
Tribune, which feels the cooperation
between Messrs. Hughes and Comp
ers conceals something of which the
| in one word did Mr.. Gompers express
anxiety about the working conditions
| in Russia. Mr.. Gompers and Mr..
