Let The Az Fall.

Congress starts scores of investi-
cations during a session, but few of
them ever bring results. They gener-
ally curl up and die from too much
oratory.
The inquiry into the Teapot Dome
naval reserve lease has proved the
exception to the rule. President
Coolidge has made certain that the
people shall have the facts in the
case and has ordered an impartial
investigation by attorneys of known
ability and high reputation, who will
prosecute in the name of the govern
ment if the evidence warrants it.
The step will be applauded because
all too frequently men in puplic life
are accused of accepting bribes for
using their official influence and au-
thority for private gain.
If anyone is guilty of receiving
100000 for granting special privil-
eyes to any man or corporation at
the expense of the government, GER
tainly he should be punished to the
full extent of the law and should be
severely condemned for violating a
public trust.
BY the same token, anyone found
guilty of influencing a public Of
fetal, through cash considerations or
by any other means, to violate his
oath to protect the interests of the
people, deserves equally as much
punishment and as severe condemna-
tion.-Ex.

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By S. W. STRAUS
President Of American Society for Thrift

One of the important national
problems of the immediate future
lies in our rapidly disappearing
forest supply. 1t is serious
situation that is steadily being in
jected into our daily lives in the
form of increased building costs and
general living expenses.
According to government statistics
SO per cent of the rural homes of the
country and from SO to 80 per cent
of urban residences are of wood
construction. Only twenty-five per
cent of the current drain on our
forest supply is being replaced
through growth of new timber,
leaving Is per cent of consumption
as net loss of supply.
Thus it viii be seen how forest
depletion is persistently imposing
itself as an element in higher living
costs.
Forest exhaustion also places a
heavy burden on the public through
increased transportation costs. Two
thirds of the American demand for
wood is said to originate in the
Central and Eastern sections where
the timber supply is negligible This
requires shipment of lumber from
the South and Far West In 1920
the lumber movement cost more than
quarter of billion dollars. In the
six years preceding 1920 the
average freight haul increased more
than 80 per cent and the freight bill
advanced 500, 100000.
From an original stand of over
500, 100000 acres of virgin forests
the amount now standing has
dwindled to less than 150,000,000
acres, in addition to some 250,000,-
600 acres of cut-over forest land.
The problem of replenishing our
forest supply is vital, involving one
of our most important problems in
national thrift.
Individual progress and national
well-being demand that con
structive steps be taken. The
longer comprehensive and decisive
action are postponed, the more
serious the problem becomes.

PHILOSOPHY
BY Uncle bud.

1
Uncle bud Says: "When the coun-
try gets back to the How much"
basis in place of the WRAP it up"
regime, we will be well on the road
to prosperity once more. The in
dustrious man never looks for
job"
The best way to kill time is to
work it to death.
You never hear the undertaken
doing any loud yelling about the
"moonshine" menace.
Why does a married man general
ly give in first? Why, because he
is usually first to give out.
An Iowa girl recently sprained
her shoulder at dance. For the
sake of safety, the old-style waltz
should be revived.
An odorless onion is now promised
US. Yeah, but how are you going
to tell 'em when you eat 'em?
Answer me that.
A town out in California has
for slogan, People come here and
never leave" Good motto for
cemetery, too.
A Montana hotel has this sign:
"Boarders taken by the day or
week. Those who do not pay up
promptly are taken by the under
taker."
A local man and his wife recently
decided to economic. And the
first thing she struck from the list
of luxuries was plug tobacco. The
economizing stunt breathed it's last
right there.
Does advertising pay? Do the
people read the ads? Well, you
will notice that when a price re-
duction is announced, the fellow
who says he doesn't read ads us
ually beats everyone else to the
stores
A "smart" travelling man re-
Gently called at local store and
addressed the nifty looking little
lady clerk as follows: Hello
Cutey, is the buyer in?" The
girl shot him a scornful glance
and replied, mo Freshly, but
the delivery boy will take you to
the cellar"
A man of this town has been
telling his friends that he was
going to New York to see the
sights. This week his wife an
nounced that she was going to
accompany him and noA he
simply admits that he is going to
New York-if nothing happens.
A girl who is employed as a
domestic in local home was taken
to task by her mistress as fol-
lows: 81 don't want you to have
so much company. Why, you have
more callers in day than l have
in a week" well ma'am," came
back the girl, 'if you'd try to be
more agreeable you'd mebbe have as
many friends as | do" and the lady
promptly tainted.
There seems to be quite an
argument over the travelling sales
man proposition. One side insists
that dark-haired statesmen get the
most orders while others are equally
insistent on the merits of the
light-haired variety. To settle the
argument by starting another, we
have noticed that the bald-headed
drummer with the fat face and
CHEEKY smile usually rolls in his
share of the business.

Says: "When JOint-Ease
Gets ln-Joint Agony
Gets Out"

1t was q high-class pharmacist
who saw prescription after preserip-
tion fail to help hundreds of his
customers to get rid of rheumatic
swellings and stiff inflamed joints.
And it was this same man who as
serted that a remedy could and
would be compounded that would
make ereaky, swollen, tormented
joints work with just as much
smoothness as they ever did.
Now this prescription, rightly
named Joint Ease, after being test
ed successfully on many obstinate
eases, is offered through progress,
sive pharmacists to the millions of
people who suffer from ailing joints
that need limbering up.
Swollen, twingy, inflamed, stiff,
pain-tormented joints are usually
caused by rheumatism, but what
ever the cause Joint Ease soaks
right in through skin and flesh and
gets right to and corrects the trou-
BILE at it's source.
Remember, Joint-Ease is for all
ments of joints, whether in ankle,
knee, hip, elbow, shoulder, spine or
finger, and when you rub it on, you
may expect speedy ard gratifying
results.
