"'Well. Uncle Wiggily, YOU are
going to have plenty of flying lights
for your lawn party" buzzed one
big lightning bug. we are your

Then thousands and thousands Of

animal children were and they were
much happier when Nurse Jane and
Mrs. Longears and Mrs. Twistytail

they danced on the lawn lighted by
fireflies and played games and had
fun until it was time to 90 home

FEET OF CLAY

Somehow or other we do not feel SO IN
competent after reading Of the hold-up
of Douglas Fairbanks in his own nome
by couple of gunner, who fOrced the
actor to part with 500.
Times innumerable we have sat IN PIC
ture theatres and watched the rrepreS-
sible Doug clean out whole squads, COM
panies and regiments of those who op-
posed him. And while we admired the
athletic prowess Of Doug and his ability
to take care OF himself under superhu-
man odds, we squirmed inwardly at the
realization of our own helpleSsness under
similar circumstances.
Then we read of couple Of youngsters
placing gun against the Fairbanks rloS
and making the star come across just
like any ordinary mortal. There was no
thrilling dash into the fray, no throw
ing about of his enemies, no victorious
grin as the enemy was routed. This was
real stuff and not reel stuff. tarbankS
did the only sensible thing to do under
the conditions-he did what he was told
to do.
There is difference between over
coming men who are paid to be overcome
and attempting the same thing against
men who are back Of guns and only too
willing to use them.
We have no censure for Douglas for
according to accounts of the affair he
kept his head and that is the main thing
to do in any emergency. But we feel
that he has fallen from the high pedestal
on which we had placed him for any
number of Us could have filled this par
ticular role Just as we'll as he did. When
menaced by gun the only sensible thing
to do is obey.

TOTERS SHOULD THINK

Valley politics, we find upon return
ing home, have been sizzling for the past
month, with every indication that the siz-
zling will be intensified during the next
three weeks before the primaries.
AS yet we have not had the pleasure Of
attending any of the various rallies and
open meetings that have been held but
we hope to be at those which are yet
scheduled.
According to accounts these rallies
have been lively affairs, with all candi-
dates having an equal chance to get up
and express themselves as to why they
should be elected to office. This is good
thing, for it gives the voter an opportuni-

PAIN IN YOUR
SHOULDER?
IISn TNcn,Ol Cor Rnlinf

Knife-like jabs of pain in the vi.
cinity of the shoulder blade are gen
orally due TO ncuritis, brought on by
exposure to draughts or sudden
changes of weather. In some cases
there is stiffness or soreness in the
muscles, making it difficult to raise
the arm.
The safest and easiest way to re-
licvc such an attack is to apply
small quantity Of Tysmol over the
affected area. This soothing, heal
ing preparation is quickly absorbed
through the pores and carried to the
throDbing aching pcriphoral nerves.
The pains usually stop at onca, and
in = very short time the last trace
Of soreness should disappear.
Tysmol is absolutely -harmless-
free from dope. Recommended for
all forms of nerve pain, whether
caused by ncuritis, neuralgia, scia-
tica or rheumatism. Sold by lead
ing druggists. Always on hand at
Clements Drug store.
