Pioneer, Says Doctor
Louis A. Warren.

FORT WAYNE, IND.-Attempts
Of historians to connect Abraham
Lincoln's first sweetheart, Ann Rut-

OF South Carolina have failed. it
was announced here by DR.. Louis
Warren. director of the Lincoln
Historical Research Foundation.
"Intensive studies in the records
of Pioneer families fail to reveal
any connection between the Ann
Rutledge whom Abraham Lincoln
courted in New Salem. ILL.,, and the
famous Rutledges Of South Caro-
lima" Doctor Warren asserted. ''Un-
til some duly authorized records
show such a connection, it. is. best
to think of Ann Kutledge as a
daughter of humble pioneer, NOV

as Lincoln, who said just a. century

Lincoln's ancestry.

out that it was in the same c0un-

Lincoln. was born. He suggested
that AIMS ancestors probably fol-
lowed the same pioneering trail
from Virginia, through Kentucky
and Indiana, to New Salem, H.,
that the Lincolns followed.
"But the idea that Ann Rutledge
was descended from the South Car
olina aristocrats of the same name
probably originated with romance.

Too Much
ACI

MANY people, two hours after

they call it. 1t is usually excess acid.
Correct it with an alkali. The best
way, the quick, harmless and efficient
way, is Phillips Milk of Magnesia.
1t has remained for so years the
standard with physicians. One spoon
full in water neutralizes many times
its volume in stomach acids, and at
once. The symptoms disappear in
five minutes.
You will never use crude methods
when you know this better method.
And you will never suffer from excess
acid when you prove out this easy
relief.
Be sure to get the genuine Phillips

Iowa Editor Says Farmers Cannot
Understand What Kind Of
Relief Hoover Plans.

The opinion that President Hoover
would be defeated in the Middle West
despite his speech in Des Moines was
expressed by Henry Wallace, Iowa edi-
tol, in statement issued yesterday
through the National Progressive
League
Most Of the farmers of the Middle
West" he said, "are Republicans. and
it would have been easy for them to
accept the outworn shibboleths about
the tariff in President Hoover's Des
Moines address were it not for the fact
that thousands of them have been un-
able to make the second payment OF
their taxes, which came due in Sep
tember and the semi-annual Install
ment of interest, which usually comes
due in September or October"
Wallace said the farmers heard the
Presidents suggestion that he was in
favor of something being done about
the mortgage situation. but could not
understand just what plan he had in
mind"
Hoover told them" he continued,
that farm products were billion dol
lars higher than during the early Sum-
mer, but they know that new corn is 10
cents a bushel, oats cents and hogs
3 cents a pound on the farm"
