Our Government
Is Safe

This is the newest great ma
ton, and one of the oldest.
Edwin c. Aldrich of Oakland,
Calf, claims to be the only liv-
ing son of the Revolution.
His father, Caleb Aldrich, en-
tered the Revolutionary army as
a drummer boy, at ! 4, and was
afterward a private.
His son, born when the father
was 10, is now 81.
Yet, of all nations, we are the
one with the oldest constitution
and the only one whose form of
government has not been radi-
cally changed.
Our experiment of freedom,
then the newest and rashest
thing in the world, is now the
oldest and most conservative.
Don't worry about radical
ism in America.
A country whose conservatism
has outlasted all the rest of the
world is not going to try any
rash experiments.

ca eful survey of the entire labor
s,cuation extending from cf'i,a hoy

him knowledge of the selling price

BACKACHE IS A
WARNING
Americas Folks Are Learning How
To Heed II

Are you miserable with an ach-
ing back? Do you get up lame and
stiff; drag through the day feeling
tired, weak and discouraged?
Then you should help your kidneys.
Backache is often the first sign of
failing kidneys. Urinary troubles
quickly follow. Neglected, there's
danger of gravel, dropsy or fatal
Bright's disease. Don't wait for Sc
riOus kidney sickness! Use Doan's
Pills, a stimulant diuretic to the
kidneys, before it is too late. This
Americas resident tells an expert
ence.
Mrs. W. l, Craps, 912 Elmo St.,
says; "My back ached constantly
and when | stopped | could hardly
get up. My Kidneys acted too Of
ten and my feet bloated. I was
nervous, too After using roan's
Pills from Howelps Pharmacy, the
bloating went down and / was rid
of the backache."
Price SOC at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Pills-the same that
Mrs. Craps had. -Milburn

Papers Make
Peoples Heroes

1t takes newspapers to make
heroes, said Commander Rog-
ers, on his arrival at San Fran
cisco, after the return of him
self and companion from the
dead"
Heroes, in fact, must first
make themselves. There has to
be real achievement to adver-
tise.
But the advertising is also es-
sentlal, to attract public atten-
ton. For hero is one who has
done something noteworthy
which has also interested the
public.
You can make a curiosity out
OF a man by pure advertising.
You can make more out of him
by advertising something wor-
thy.
Press agents for political can
didates understand their art ex-
pertly. The peoples heroes are
made by the papers.
And there is no greater re-
sPonsibility on the press of
America. In the case of Rogers
they did a good and worthy job.
But, as their heroes are, so will
the people be.
Let me make a nations he
roes, and do not care who
breaches its sermons.

Tax-Exempt Bonds
Beat Government

How tax-free bonds increase
the burden of taxpayers is set
forth in a striking way by Julius
n. Barnes, former Federal Grain
Administrator. He puts it thus;
A man worth over $50,0O0.-
900 died last year. 1t develop
ed he had paid no federal in
come taxes since 1916. and le-
gally so. Instead, be bought
tax-exempt bonds of his state
and city, yielding 4 IL per cent.
But for this he would have con-
tributed over $85O,O00 toward
the expense of his Federal gov
eminent.
Federal expenses were not
one dollar less because he did
not pay.
Who did pay the $780,
OOO?"

Indian Summer
In Georgia

One may look forward to
m thoroughly enjoyable
weather for the next few weeks.
There is no more delightful sea
son than a properly staged Au-
tum in the South. Days full OF
pep and sunshine, and night just
chilly enough to make the blan-
kets welcome. Some light tails
of frost and then the crowning
feature of the season - Indian
Summer.
Indian Summer is sometimes
called St Martin s Summer, be
cause it usually comes about the
time of the St. Martin g festival
which is November !.
lust how the name originated
is not entirely clear, but 1t IS
evidently connected with the
practices or beliefs of the white
man predecessors on this con
tinent. One authority says that
the Indians harvested their corn
during this period and had a ira
dition that there were. always
Just nine days of Summer just
before winter.
Another traces it to a story
that the Pilgrims we've told by
the Indians that Immediately att
er the cold weather of Autumn,
Summer would come again. And
still another says that the early
settlers of the country welcomed
the winter, because it stopped
the Indians from making incur
clans against their settlements.
and referred to the warm spell
of November as Indian Sum
mcr, because it gave the In
dams another chance to attack
the pale faces before winter.
Whatever the origin of the
name, we have with us now the
most delightful season of the
year.

Gas Cuts
Cost of Autos

Absolute control of heat thru
the use of gas, in melting metals
employed in the manufacture of
automobiles, has brought about
large economies in production.
Thousands of spare parts, fro
merly rough cast and then ma
chined to size, are now turned
out by automatic dies with a
degree of accuracy impossible
under the old process. This
averts the waste due to rejection
of imperfect casting and saves
the expense of machining to
size.

Radio Is Far
From Perfection

Il never thought | would live
to coax a grand organ recital
out of something about twice as
large as a cigar box, says
George AIDE.
That sentence we'll expresses
the amazing development of ra-
dio in this country during the
last few years. 1t is typical of
the way American business de-
velops something the public
wants.
At first it was necessary to
string wires on top of your
house, fool around with three
or four dials and have insight
ly batteries, wires and loud
speakers in your home.
But the newest sets have no
aerial, no batteries, visible or
invisible, one dial control and
everything contained in one
beautiful cabinet that makes an
attractive piece Of furniture.
But radio development is far
from perfection. 1t is almost
certain that still more changes
will be made.
1t may be only a short time
until the music of the famous
cathedrals of Europe or the sing
song melodies of the olient will
be heard by the Kansas farmer
whenever he wishes to turn on
the radio.

Wage Farmers
In Better Positions

With the exception of a very
few lines, weekly earnings of
industrial workers are now
greater than a year ago, says the
Boston News Bureau.
The Department of Labor
gets information as to size OF
payrolls of representative estab-
lishments in leading industrial
lines.
These figures show industry
generally is prosperous, else it
would not continue to offer en-
ployment at apparently increas-
ing wage scales. The hgures
also show the average worker
has more money than a year ago,
so that he is in a better position
to fill his needs and still have a
surplus for savings.
