MANAGEMENT

In March 1921, when the Harding
administration took control of the
government, the country had reached
the low point Of business depression.
At that time about 100000 people
were reported out of work.
AS usual thing it takes years to
get over such time of prostration.
But so skilfully was the situation
handled, SO much confidence was felt
by the people in the management of
the government, that Improvement
began to be manifested very soon
after the new administration took
charge. ....-... ..r ..e
The results were shown in the an
nual report of the secretary of the
treasury recently presented to con-
gress. 1t is very wonderful thing,
in view Of the handicap created by
the conditions when the present ad-
ministration took charge in 1921, that
during the fiscal year ending last
June, the national debt was reduced
$6193, 100000, and that the present
outlook is for treasury surplus of
1928, 100000 by next June Thus the
government is improving its condition
at the rate of about $1,000, ,O0O, 900 a
year. 'sTa

Operated On For
Appendicitis
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS TO
BE ANNOUNCED LATER

Many times, no doubt, you have
seen the above headline in your
newspaper. Very often it has told
of some friend suddenly stricken
with dread appendicitis. The news
papers, however, neglect to state
that appendicitis is usually preced-
ed by stomach trouble. They don t
tell you that the afflicted person
suffered frequent attacks of heart
burn long before he went to the
hospital.
While heartburn is not always a
sign of an inflamed appendix, it is
always a warning that something is
wrong. In many cases it results
from indigestion, which is one of
the predisposing causes of appen-
dicitis.
If you suffer from a burning,
gnawing sensation in the stomach,
excessive gas, sour stomach, nausea
or other distress after eating, go at
once and obtain a bottle of Smith
Bros M. A. c., the guaranteed
stomach treatment. This pleasant,
harmless liquid rids the stomach of
catarrhal mucus, allays inflamma-
tion, helps digestion and cleanses
the bowels of poisonous waste mat
ters. Price $1.25. Money back if
the first bottle does not relieve.

Growers of Wine
Grapes Laud Law
Maker Volstead

''Thcy are going to erect statue
to Nolstcad,' so reads the opening
Of an article published in Il we'll
known California newspaper under
a Lodi date line. For wine grapes
are becoming almost fortune pro
ducers, according TO c. T. Boyd, di-
rector Of research for the Guaran-
teed Mortgage Securities Company
of America.
In 1919 there were just 100000
tons Of wine grapes produced i'll
California. These sold for $20,OO0,-
Gee. Production dropped the next
year to $4,000. tons, selling at $2S,-
10000. The 1927 crop dropped
again, this time to 10000 tons,
which brought in $25, 600.
Whether it was better care or in
creased acreage is not known, but
the 1922 crop went to 100000, sell
ing for $29, 100000. In 1928, due
to mildew and ear shortage ut the
critical time, tonnage amounted to
$4,000, but the total cash receipts
dropped to &17,120,000.
Imperial Valley boasts of 90 acres
of young wine grapes while 100
acres were recently put out ON the
Mexican side. This is just about
one drop in the bucket as compared
with the state wide increase in this
acreage during 1922-23, most of the
new $4,000 acres of vineyards put
out during that time being wine
grapes.
