HOW WORDS COME
 TO PICTURE IDEAS
Philologists Can Read History
 From Words a Country Uses

Sometimes words are borrowed bod fly from another language. Sometimes a root-word is borrowed, oftenest from the Latin or Greek, and an English ending given it. Again, we take two old words, join them together and make a new one. At first we separate them by the hyphen, but after awhile that is left out, and the two are min gled as a single word. Then, we take a prefix, or a suffix, from some other tongue, and add it, after or before, and we have another new word. Or when word is too long, we shorten it. because we English-speaking people are great for saving time.
 Thousands of new words are defined in, The New Universities Dictionary, which we are now offering almost free to our readers. It ought to be in every home, office, workshop and study. It can be made the means of self-culture to a very large extent. The coupon elsewhere in this paper explains the terms upon which you may get it. Books Ready Tomorrow
 The second coupon appears, today, the third will appear tomorrow, and then the doors open to the great edu- cational flood. Don't wait for 8 later chance; eager readers may exhaust the limited supply.

 Principal speakers at the afternoon session today was J. Fred Johnson, state commander of the American Legion. He said in part: Rest as- sured that we, your sons and grand sons shali see that the true story of the civil war and its causes is told. You fought for principle and for those ideals you declared and knew to be the right. We know that and it will be our work to set before the world the truth of civil war causes"
 There are 3,491 living Confederate veterans in the state of Alabama, Major General Houghton, commander declared. Four hundred and twenty veterans died last year, and there are living 1,474 widows of veterans over 80 years of age and 3,2S6 widows under the age of 80 years.

When l placed the students in this chair, saw to it that their arms were placed tightly against the arms of the chair. l did this as the teslacoil was fastened to the metal rod running through the chair and if the arm was placed solidly against the arm of the chair the pupil would merely feel a tingling sensation. If the arm would loosen itself from the arm of the chair, small sparks would fly but the student would not be injured.

The Imperial Policies Last Three Administrations

The administrations of the last three presidents are
nothing to brag about Our nation has suffered from
their power as helpless victim within the coils of the
boa constructor. We have lived through some great
crisses, but the greatest of all at hand in the 1924
election The question is: Shall we uphold the expoita
on OF natural resources the rObbng of the products of
our toll and the suffering of Millions by voting for this
rotten administration in the fal'electon?
line Wilson administration has been auded for its
many virtues through the capitalist press of the coun
try wilson upheld system which has it's origin in the
Dark Ages. He was college professor, an expert on
the ancient and Out-Of-date economic theories He be-
heVed IN UNFOLDING Our ancient institutions" and not
new Orde rOf things He was strict conservative in ev
cry sense OF the word. Let take clipping from one
oil his speeches delivered bfeore the Society of Virgn
ans in New York City in 1904
You know what the usual standard of the emplove is
IN our day 1t is to give little he may for his
wages In trades and hancrafts no one is suffered
to do more than the least slfu of his fellows can do
Within the allotted hours of a days work. Our
economic supremacy may be lost because the country
grows more and more full of improbable servants"
In the New York world" an extract of his speeches
quoted:
I'VE speak too cOnclusively of the capitalist class
There is another formidable enemy to equality and
freedom OF opportunity it is, and that is the class
formed by the labor organizations and leaders of the
country, quite mOnOpOisc in spirit as the capitalist
and quite apt to corrupt and ruin our industries v
their monopoly"
Wilson was a representative of the past order OF
things the order which has been profitable to the CAPT.
tlst and forced the wageeaner and farmer into bank
uptcy This ancient order is permitted to exist only
through the influence of such as Wilson, so much
Tor has point of view. We all know what we were lead
into during the We know how Wilson and his cab
net he'd to US saying they doing everything in their
power TO keep out TO the war; and days before thew had
made this statement they sitting in a committee to
decide the exclusion of labor from military service and
the draft laws months before it was even ntimated to
