National Scandals

New national scandals con
tinue to bob up almost daily.
Just now the Teapot Dome oil

Washington; only a short while

Fall. already out of the cabinet,

Put 1t All Over the Politicians
The Teapot Dome has developed
into quite a nice little scandal which
promises to have a long run. Of
course, if they really can't find any
more scandals in Washington we
will have to keep worrying about
Teapot Dome. But with so many
good scandals there it seems focl-
ish to spend the entire winter wor-
rying about only one of them.
They do things much better in
the movies and theatrical world.
When movie or theatrical scandal
begins to pail they always have an
other one waiting for us.

what Americus and Sum-

is A LEADER big man, big
brain. big heart, lots of courage
and superabundance of ener-
gy.f Given such a man, and
one cannot predict how far we
would go in material progress.
With such man at the helm,
our business and professional
men will follow his lead. In
short time we will have regain
ed whatever we have lost and
will make rapid progress toward
added wealth and happiness in
this, one of the greatest agricul-

The above came from the lips
of one of our outstanding bust

we believe that in a few words
he has expressed volumes.
There was never a time when
we were in greater need of A
LEADER, nor has there been
a period in our history when
such a man could accomplish
more.
Such a man is seldom if ever
a volunteer. He is sometimes
found among those who say
least, of whom the community
knows but little, and yet there

so many unexpected emerg-

nosticators are beginning to re-
wise their bearings and to get
more trustworthy line on the

Insurgency is becoming more
rife in Republican councils and
the antagonism provoked by Pres

bound to roll up to more formid-

make his nomination daily less
assured. The opposition will take

precipitating a condition similar
to that created in 1922, when the
Roosevelt faction resulted in the

Just what the ultimate outgivings

stands out as the most compelling
