Instead of cutting down expenses,
this same Congress appropriates the
enormous sum of more than S.
O00,000,00O or about $46O,000.-
900 more than last year.
Who pays the money for this in
crease? Why, the consumers of
this country, the farmers, laboring
men and business men.
/ am opposed to this sort of leg
islation. Just so long as you send
men to Congress who follow the die
tates of special interests in increas-
ing their own salaries, creating new
offices for job holders, and voting
missions, just so long will this ever
increasing burden have to be car
ried by the common people of this
nation. Twelve years is long enough
to try out any office holder If he
can not make good in that length of
time, he never will.
If elected at the coming Novem-
Der election, / shall endeavor, to the
best of my ability, to serve the in
terests of the farmers, laboring men
and business men of this district,

trolled by the Grundy's and their

that kind of a candidate for Con-
gress, | kindly solicit your support.
Yours very truly,

Wooden Bowl Has History

An extravagant sum Of money, the
exact amount Of which has not been
made known, was paid for the famous
bowl known as the Pepys mazer, for
four centuries the property Of the Ed
ward vi almshouses at Saffron Wal
den, Essex, England.
The Pepys mazer is a small bowl of
maplewood standing 3-16 inches In
height and 75a inches across. Around
the lip is a plain band Of silver-gilt, a
little deeper outside the bowl than in
side. 1t bears the London half-marks
of 1507-8 and the head of the makers
mark, which Is the head of saint. In
side the bowl Is circular medallion, a
plate of silver-gilt, and an engraving
Of the Virgin and the Child in a glory
Of long rays. 1t now comes to America.
It Is SO called because it was referred
to in the writings of Pepys.

paying about 5000 annually in taxes

conditions under which the farmers
have labored for many years. l have
seen my real estate as well as that
of others decreased in value until
today the same farms would not sell
for more than one-half what they
would have sold for ten years ago.
A 500 reduction in taxes would be
real farm relief. | have served my

OF these conditions the last Con-
gress of which my opponent was a
member, increased the taxes upon
the consumers of this county about
ST, 100000, 900, by the enactment
of the infamous Grundy Tariff Bill,
the greatest part of which goes into
the pockets of special interests. This
bill costs the consumers about 500

Mutton Dear to Both
Stuart and Hanoverian

Mutton used to be regarded as hav-
ing a definite II somewhat indefinable
association with loyalty to the throne.
When "thirty-nine noblemen and gen.
tlemen zealously attached to the Prot
estant succession of the house of Han
over" founded the Kit-Kat club for the
furtherance Of their principles, they
ordained that the standing dish at
all their dinners should be mutton
pie, to which they attached symbolic
significance.
Why mutton should be thus iden-
titled with the Hanoverian dynasty
is far from clear, but possibly
George /, like George II, esteemed
boiled mutton and turnips the
daintiest dish that could be set be-
fore the king. The Kit-Kats, how
ever, must have overlooked a SIM
liar fondness On the part of the Stu
arts, especially in the case Of Charles
II, whom Rochester dubbed "our NUT
ton-loving king."-Manchester (Eng)

STOMACH UPSET


Get at the real cause. That's what
thousands of stomach sufferers are
doing now. Instead of taking tonics,
or trying to patch up a poor digestion,
they are attacking the real cause of
the acknowledged liver and dis
ordered bowels.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets help
arouse the liver in a soothing, healing
way. When the liver and bowels are
performing their natural functions,
people rarely suffer from indigestion
and stomach troubles.
Have you a bad taste, coated tongue,
poor appetite, a lazy, don't-care feel
ing, no ambition or energy, trouble
with undigested foods? Try Olive
Tablets, the substitute for calomel.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are
purely vegetable compound. Know
them by their olive color. They do
the work without gripping, cramps or
pain. All druggists. 15c, 30c and 60c.
Take one or two at bedtime for
quick relief. Eat what you like.

Right Diet Affects Teeth

If you want strong, white teeth pay
attention to your diet as well as to
your toothbrush. The food you eat
is just as important as the dentifrice
you use.
DIR. Walter H. Eddy, food chemist
and health authority, offers this ad-
vice. Several recent surveys, he re-
ports, have shown that individuals
whose diet was deficient in milk and
green vegetables were possessors of
weak and quickly decayed teeth be-
cause the blood which feeds the teeth
was not sufficiently supplied with the
necessary lime salts to give them
strength.-Good Housekeeping Maya

GET THE VOTES IN THE BALLOT BOZ

GET THE VOTES IN THE BALLOT BOX
Election day is rapidly approaching; and it
ilege of holding opinions and sentiments in re-
gard to measures and candidates-the duty Of
exercising those opinions and sentiments, by
casting ballots at the polls.
A dollar out of circulation may be worth
but little; dollar in circulation may be worth
much.
Opinions and sentiments, in regard to men
and measures are worth but little-if held
locked in the mind they may be of much value
If exercised and cast into the ballot box.
AS nearly as can be learned from extensive
and diligent public inquiry, nearly all Republ-
cans and many Democrats are favorable to the
candidacy of Judge John @. Lyme, for the COM
mon pleas bench of Morgan county; they think
him qualified, physically and mentally, by train
ing and experience, for the office he seeks.
But favorable feelings are not enough
Opinions as to Judge Lyne's ability and in
tegrity must become votes; sentiments favor
able to his success must become ballots in the
box.
Men and women friendly to the fitness and
favorable to the election of John @. Lyme, must
get out and vote for him.
Use your individual and collective influence
to this end-and victory will be ours.
We have the votes.
All we have to do is to harvest them.

"Sales during the first few hours
in the morning are not so brisk but
what we can get along with a few
less salespeople in each department.
Hours will be staggered throughout
the week so that one group will re-
port from three to four hours later
than usual each morning. This will
bring the total number Of hours in
six-day period within the require
ments of the new law and there will
be no need for the employment of
extra salespeople."

DOUBLE STANDARD
FAULTY MEASURE

Measuring wage stand
ards by the competitive yardstick,
and prices and profits by the monopo-
ilstic yardstick brings disaster" said
VIM. E. McEwen, editor Duluth La
Dor World, in a radio address over
Station WEBC.
''This double standard of measure
ment, more than anything else, has
served to throw the economic scale
off it's balance" said Mr.. McEwen
at has widened the space between
what worker is paid in wages and
what he pays for the things he must
buy to live and maintain his home.
"Under the present order, with
combinations in control, the wages of
unorganized labor may fall without
affecting prices. Workers may suffer,
but corporate combinations continue
to pile up record profits.
Last year, with millions of work
ers unemployed, these corporations
made more money than they did at
any other time since the peak of the
World War"

PRINTERS UNION
Makes Big Gain in Face OF
Business Slump.

indianapolis, Ind. (ILNS) = The
Typographical Journal, official organ
of the International Union, says:
"The six months ending April 20
have been, in most industries, marked
by a slackening of employment as
compared with the same months in
1929. Authorities differ as to the ex-
tent of the unemployment, but all
agree that unemployment has in
creased.
"In the printing industry, however,
the earnings of members as reported
to the office of the secretary treasurer
indicate that union printers, taken as
a whole, are not suffering any loss of
earnings. For the six months ending
April 20 an average membership of
1881 paid as the pension and mortu-
ary assessment 1926, 6,168.72, l per
cent on indicated earnings of $91 ,616,-
S72. This indicates a gain in total
earnings of $2,474,718 over earnings
for the same six months in 1929, and
a gain of $3,951, ,764 over earnings for
the same months in 1928.
"The increase in total earnings of
the membership is due in large part,
of course, to the increase in member
ship of the international Union and
to increaSSa in wage scales The aver
age number paying per capita tax for
the six months ending April 20, 1880,
was 1881, an increase of 1896 over
the average for the same months in
1929, and an increase of 1,944 over
the average for the same months in
1925"

foster schemes providing for unem-
ployment benefits that supplement
those paid under the public system"
says the Monthly Bulletin, which de-
scribes several of these plans in its

of the kind was established in 1885
and the first in this country in Ohio
five years later.
Q.-Where did cooks and walters
have the first organization?

early as 1880 there existed in Chicago
local independent union of workers
in the catering industry. In 1884 af-
filiation was made with the Knights
of Labor with charter number 7475.
Later the organization left the
Knights of Labor.

 American adherence to the world courts has come to the fore as an issue between those seeking the senatorial nominations of both par ties, pushing farm relief and tariff into the background.
