PASSING UP A MARKET

Coa from the States be laid down at Westward ports V for $2O ton.
 Alaska coal shipped Westward, Westward folk say, shipped thru the port of Seward and laid down at the same points Westward costs at least S22 ton
 One of the for the lower cost of coal from the States is given that the S. Tupper enroue during the months to Boring Sea ports brings North large quantities and the extra handling charge is eliminated
 In order to compete with the Outside market Vest ward people want lower price than that quoted for Alaska coal When this is done there will be opened a tremendous new outlet for Alaska's product.
 Grievance is also given regarding the poor quality of sacks in which the coal which does go Westward sionay is of poor quality and every other sack sent is bursted necessitating extra work in resacking.
 From these criticisms it be judged there is big market for Alaska coal throughout the vast Westward district providing these obstacles be It would appear that this could be done.

WASH YOUR KIDNEYS
BY DRINKING WATER
If Your Back Hurts or Bladder
Bothers, Also Take Some
Salts

Flush your kidneys by drinking a
quart of water each day, also take
salts occasionally, says a noted au-
thority, who tells us that too much
rich food forms acids which almost
paralyze the kidneys in their efforts
to expel it from the blood. They be-
come sluggish and weaken; then you
may suffer with a dull misery in the
kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges.
To help neutralize these irritating
acids; to help cleanse the kidneys
and flush off the body's urinous
waste, get four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy here. Take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for years to help flush and stimu-
late sluggish kidneys; also to neu-
tralize the acids in the system so
they no longer irritate, thus often
relieving bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; can not
injure and makes delightful effer-
vescept lithia-water drink.-Adver-
tisement.

AID OF BIRGER
DIES BY MOOSE
Montenegro Gangster Says
He Was Laws Goat.

MARION, Ill, Oct. 22-Illinois Fri
day took the life of RADIO Millich,
first of the notorious machine gun
Birger gangsters to reach the gal
lows.
The swarthy, illiterate Monte
negrin, who insisted to the end that
he killed in self defense, went to his
death, asserting he had been
made the goat" He was con-
victed of Staying Ward Jones, erst-
while fellow gangster and barkeeper
at the Burger hide-out and strong
hold, SHADY Rest"
"They just took a notion they
had to hang somebody because of
this gang war;" the condemned man
said in a final statement, dictated
shortly before Sheriff Oren Cole
man Of Williamson County ordered
the death trap sprung.
Millich's execution followed futile
efforts by defense attorneys to OBJ
tain a stay of sentence. Governor
Len Small refused a reprieve and
the courts declined to act.

vision. We might almost think in
connection with him of the plains
man who went some years ago to
San Francisco. He stayed but few
days. Every day when he got up in
his hotel he looked out upon a brick
wall, and he had to get out where,
as he said in his descriptive fashion,
he could stretch his vision"
Was it any wonder that Amos
sounded a vital note of righteousness
in Israel? That he came into the
very center of the nation in a time
of apparent prosperity and swept
aside all the glittering unrealities of
this assumed progress, reminding
Israel of the only secure founda-
lions of civilization and religion?
The true spirit of the prophet is
revealed in the profound sense of
duty that moved all three of those
men. We find it emphasized in
their great individuality, in their
lack of all pretense, and in their
emphasis upon the prophetic pur-
pose rather than upon the mere
outward Office and any supposed
distinction that might be attached
to 1t.
Amos Is almost rude in his in
sistence that he is neither prophet
nor the son of prophet. Possibly
he had mild contempt for prim,
conventional and Intellectual official
prophets who glorfed more in their
Office than in their essential tasks.
Moreover, the spirit of the
prophet is emphasized in the di-
rectness with which they obeyed the
call as it came. 1t is one thing to
hear call even from God. 1t is
quite another thing to obey it. The
prophet never stands forth in eff
fectiveness until having heard the
call and having sensed the need,
he replies in humility as well as in
ourage Here am I; send me-

Councilman o. Ray AlbertSon
has given Prosecutor William H.
Remy his resignation as a city
council member, it was learned to-
day.
Although Remy refused to affirm
or deny that he has Albertson'S
resignation in his possession, it was
learned that Albertson gave Remy
the written withdrawal from coun-
Gil shortly after his first appear
ance before the grand jury.
Albertson has appeared before the
jury five times since the investiga-
ton of city council activities be-
gan two weeks ago.
Remy, it is believed, will hold the
resignation until the probe of coun-
Gil has been completed and then
will present it 20 that body. 1t
does no become effective until pre-
Sented.
The fact that Albertson has
signed a withdrawal from council
indicates that there will be indict-
ments when the jury reports on the
investigation of council affairs. This
is expected next week.
If indictments are returned, strik-
ing at councilmen, Albertson will be
one of the chief State witnesses if
the cases come to trial, his frequent
appearances before the jury indi-
cate.
Since the present city council as
sumed Office, Albertson has been an
"off and on" supporter of the ma
jority bloc.
Other majority members are
Boynton j. Moore, Walter r. Dor
sett, Otis E. Bartholomew and DR..
Austin H. Todd, who also has varied
in his support of the faction.
Bartholomew was a witness before
the jury Thursday. 1t concluded
it's weeks activities today by ex-
aiming six witnesses. They we're
Irving Lemaux, former Republican
city chairman and Indianapolis
Brush and Broom Company presi-
dent; Frank Woolling, real estate
dealer; George Bailey, local Mack
Truck Company manager; Robert
Martin, Stutz Fire Engine Com
pany; Edward G. Sourbier, real
estate dealer, and Charles Grauh,
Why Lemaux was called was not
disclosed. He never has been con-
nected with the present G. o. P.
regime.

HOME OF FIRST
NORMAL SCHOOL
TO Be SAVED
Owner Will Remodel Build
ing in odd Town of
BurnettSviIIe.

Bg United Press
BURNETTSVILLE, Ind, Oct. %.
The old building which once
housed Indiana'S first normal
school, is to be remodeled and kept
intact as a historic landmark, &C
cording to announcement by Will
Nethercutt, it's present owner.
The building which stands in the
"Old Town" Of Burnettsville, was
erected by Isaac Mahurin, in 1852.
Mahurin, a Methodist, and graduate
of an Eastern college had visions
of making his school the outstand-
ing college of Indiana, but he died
before his purpose could be &C
complished. The project languished
for six years after that.
In 1858, the school was re-
opened, with a curriculum con-
sidered great novelty in those
days, not only in Indiana, but the
entire United States-devoted en-
tirely to the development of
teachers. Joseph L. Baldwin, a ma
tive Of New York was president of
the school, which he called IAN in
stitution Of normal training"
Baldwin was man of personality,
a good advertiser and organizer. He
was modern" and introduced the
study of physiology into the school,
in spite of protests from some of
his scandalized students. It was
not considered a decent subject in
those days. Under Baldwin's direc-
ton the school became prosperous
and attracted the attention of
educators from all parts of the
country.
After Baldwin left the school, it
gradually lost prestige. The Civil
War broke up the student body,
and ruined the institutions
financial standing. Several COL
1eges considered the building as a
possible nucleus for a progressive
school. The Associated Presbyterian
Church planned to establish a
school there as did H. B. Brown,
later founder of Valparaiso Uni
versity, but all plans failed, and the
building was rapidly becoming a
ruin, until Nethercutt announced
its reconstruction.

DURANT LAUDS
CITY MOVE TO
CLEAN HOUSE
Effort to Improve Local Po-
IitiCaI Conditions Is
Praised. \

Indianapolis has not suffered in
prestige from the publicity incident
to the political housekeeping, but
has won merited praise by assuming
leadership in a determined awaken
ing of social conscience. It's example
will be followed by other cities of the
country"
Such was the prediction made by
Will Durant, world-famed student
and author of 1.-THE Story of Phil
osophy" in short talk to repre-
sentative group of leading citizens,
guests of The Times, at luncheon to-
day at the indianapolis Athletic
Club.
Citing the example of headlines in
New York paper stating Indian
apoliS Citizens Determined In
Cleanup" DR.. Durant declared:
Set Splendid Example
"You should take pride in such
publicity. 1t is gratifying to decent
citizenship everywhere to know that
here is a city that has courage
enough to undertake the task of
cleaning up its municipal govern
ment. Such an accomplishment can
not be brought about through
cowardice. There are dozens Of
cities throughout the land that well
might emulate your splendid ex-
ample"
Importance of courage in modern
life was also stressed when Durant
touched upon the marvel of modern
newspaper publishing. He cited the
example of the Scripps- Howard pa
pers in taking stand for what was
deemed righteous and maintaining it
at times in the face of popular OPP
position.
Praises Herbert Hoover
att is easy for the Scripps- Howard
paper to advocate modification of
the Volstead act in New York." he
pointed out. But it takes courage
to stick to such a stand in many
States that are known to be bone
dry"
The speaker praised Herbert
Hoover as an ideal candidate for the
presidency.
HE has great capacity for
practical politics coupled with
practical politics coupled without
outstanding administrative genius"
he declared in recommending him.
Hoover will make an admirable
candidate for any party that has the
courage to nominate him."
