goes to the phone and invites some
trashy relatives to come over and
spend Sunday with them and bring
all the children, to which they glad
ly assent. Weary and fatigued the
man goes to his slumber with a Wis
ion of cherry pie and raspberry
short-cake lowering in his mind On
the morrow when the prospective
dinner is ready, this lofty queen of
the household informs him that the
table is going to be crowded and
he'll have to wait, to which he
meekly submits When he is called
to humble himself at the table there
is not a cherry or berry short-cake
or anything of the kind in sight, all
crammed into the stomachs of this
do-less set that squared themselves
at the first table. But he must not
murmur or complain, but in addi-
tion to this he must pat his wife on
the cheek and congratulate her for
her tactfulness and kind considera-
tion and tell her she's just the best
old thing that ever plowed sod. Just
give us little time brother, and
maybe We'll measure up.

COLDS AFFECT
THE KIDNEYS
Many McConnelsville People Have
Found This To Be True

Are you wretched in bad weather
Does every cold settle on your
kidneys?
Does your back ache and become
weak?
Are urinary passages irregular
and distressing?
These sysmtoms are cause to sus-
pect kidney weakness.
Weakened kidneys need quick
help.
Doan's pills are especially pre-
pared for weakened kidneys.
McConnelsville people recommend
them. Ask your neighbor.

nelsville, says: when / caught colu

whom are living in Morgan and Mus
kingum counties, will hold a reunion
here Saturday, Aug. 30. Some of the
descendants of three other brothers
in the family, who lived near Chica-

There was no grange meeting Sat

rain did more good.

neccntly We attended religious
meeting where we were like the man
tom lissouri, I'VE had to be
shown" We were not up to the
standard of reii gious living to which
some claimed to have attained. We
were weighed in a balance and
found wanting" Our duty, as we
WEI e given to understand, was, that
no matter how unreasonable, intoler-

circumstances, we were just to grin
and bear it," We think the follow

tree he tears the sole off his shoe
and when he returns home his wife
demurely asks if the remainder of
his shirt was left in the tree for a
scarecrow. He next goes in quest Of
berries. He plods around over a
quarter section farm and gathers a
few, but in getting over a wire fence
he adds a three-cornered ventilator
to the, caboose end of his pants,
which responds to each gentle

What The Fair Is Worth

It's worth just what we make it.
It's worth working for, planning for,
waiting for. It's worth our best ef-
forts, not for one or two weeks in
the year, but every week. It's the
peoples play ground and the people s
university, an expositor of progress
and achievement, an expeller OF
crouch and gloom, a creator of miles
of smiles. Happier homes, finer
| farms, higher standard of living
these are some of the accomplish
ments of the fair. Who will have
the hardihood to say they are not
, worth while?
| The fair is educating our boys and
girls in the fundamentals of living,
creating in them desire for better
things that will help them to grow
up to be more manly men and more
womanly women.
The fair is a community center
where young and old may gather for
relaxation and wholesome entertain
ment. 1t is justifying it's appella-
ton, Educational Institution" and
it is accomplishing these things be-
cause there are earnest, enthusias-
tic. self effaced men and women, who
see in life something more than the
dollar mark and who are willing to
give their time and talent to develop
ing that greatest of all crops, the
boys and girls who will be the fu-
ture men and women.

MINERS LEADER TO USE
DAILY HERALD FOR ALL
UNION PRONOUNCEMENTS

LONDON, May GA. J. Cook,
newly elected secretary of the Min
ers' Federation Of Great Britain to
succeed Frank Hodges, now minis
ter in MacDonald's cabinet, an
nouneed that he would use the
DAILY HERALD, the only labor
daily in England for all official
statements and announcements Of
the miners union.
Cook is radical and carried on
a fight inside the miners union for
a number Of years against the reae-
tlonary policies of Hodges, who is
now bossing His Majestys navy.
Labor leaders OF the Hodges type
never showed more than a platonic
interest in the DAILY HERALD un-
til the Labor Party was confronted
with the possibility of being called
to form government. They now
realize its value and are supporting
It. Cook believes in giving II prao-
ticaI support and letting the work.
ers understand that it is their paper
by making It the official daily Of the
miners. His predecessor in office
preferred to give his statements
publicity thru the capitalist press.
While the DAILY HERALD is not
Communist paper, II is the only
daily organ the British workers
have and deserves their support. In
fact, when the labor takers had all
their plans ready last year to kill
it, It was largely due to the big cam
paIgn carried on by the Communist
Party of Great Britain in its behalf
that It was saved.

NEW ORLEANS, May 6.-Escapes
from Bolshevists and eye witnesses
tales of the death of the car are now
making the rounds of the sub-tropical
jungles in the southern states, after
having been worn threadbare in the
rest of the country.
After three years in Brazil, Alex
ander Braghin, "once a member of
the cars personal staff" has come
to New Orleans for lectures on the
end of the Romanov family, the Elm
stein theory Of RELATIVELY, the Hindu
theory of philosophy, to say nothing Of
the fourth dimension and Kerensky
Bolshevist, including Brakhin's escape
to South America.
Brakhin confldes that he almost
rescued Car Nicholas but came to
the Siberian village only just in time
to rescue the czarina's priceless emer-
aid from a bonfire where the clothing
and other relics of the family were
being consumed. He did not bring
the emerald to New Orleans via Bra
