Laxative combination
folks know is trustworthy

The confidence thousands Of par
ents have in good, old reliable, pow
dered Thedford's Black-Draught has
prompted them to get the new Syrup
of Black raught for their children.
The grown folks stick to the pow
dered Black Draught; the youngsters
probably will prefer it when they
outgrow their childish love Of sweets.
Mrs. G. W. Adams, of Murray, Ky,
writes: IT have used Thedford's
Black Draught (powder) about thir-
teen years, taking it for biliousness.
Black Draught acts well and I am
always pleased with the results. I

THE Roosevelt victory is of such
mammoth proportions as to leave no
room for his opponents to be bitter
or his critics to cavil. 1t Is so over
whelming that alibis, analyses and
explanations seem foolish. The only
thing to do is cheerfully accept the
result, with wonder that it was posi-
BILE to be so blind before the election
to the irresistible nature of the COM
bination of sentiment and forces be-
hind him"
So wrote Frank Kent, one of the
most fortnight of Roosevelt critics.
This view is generally held by the
professional publicists who supported
Landon. Those who supported the
President say with justice that they
anticipated the result, that it was in
evitable-though most of them were
surprised by the extent of the vic
tory.

Fires last year blackened more
than 100000 acres of forest land
an area larger than the State of
Illinois. AS part of it's fight to
check such huge losses the United
States Forest Service is collecting and
studying fire weather" information
from forest stations.
Latest weather-measuring devices,
such as the thermograph, psychrom-
eter, hygrothermograph, anemomet-
er, meteorograph, and duff hygrome-
ter, have been brought into use by
the foresters so that they may as
certain the probability Of fires and be
prepared for emergencies.
This work was started in 1922 and
the United States Forest Service cred
its its storehouse of information with
the quick suppression of many for
est fires.

BETTER TIMES AHEAD

World prosperity is coming back,
industrial production is rising, and
unemployment is being reduced, &C
cording to report presented to the
governing body of the International
Labor Office, meeting in Geneva for
its 18th session.
A special report on world economic
developments in 1896 submitted to
the l. l.. o. showed that in the great
majority of countries manufacturing
production is now above the 1929
level, that tho the unemployment in
dex is still so per cent above the
figure, it shows continued de-
cline" and that the trend of world
trade is upwards in the United States,
Japan and Canada, tho for all the
world it is 20 per cent behind the
1929 position.

is a member, is a worldwide organ

FARMERS MUST SACRIFICE FOR
PEACE

Columbus, Ohio-A plea for the
creation of public opinion in Ameri-
ca, $50 strong that financial interests,
jealousy or passion cannot drive our
nation into foreign conflict" was
voiced at the annual convention of
the National Grange, meeting here,
by Louis j. Taber, national master.
Speaking on Armistice Day to farm
leaders from all over the country,
Mr.. Taber urged, Let us proclaim to
the world, especially to Europe, that
our land is determined to observe
that type of neutrality that will leave
fighting and turmoil over there, and
Americas fine young manhood over
here.
I'VE should provide by statute that
wealth shall be conscripted as well as
man-power, and that men shall not
receive dividends and profits stained
with the blood of human beings.
I'VE must make illegal for export
all munitions and raw materials that
are essential to war. This will mean
that Agriculture must make a sac
rifice, because cotton, wheat and fats
are as essential to war as are gun
powder, steel and munitions.
"The heartaches and tears Of war
do not end with the battlefield. Their
final toll is depression, foreclosure.
bankruptcy, and ruin. Let America
be prepared to defend our own land
from foreign foe, but at the same
time let US demonstrate friendship

AIRY CHATTER-H
BY Huston Mckee West

Now that you folks have gotten
over your first horror at leaving good
old Terra Firma, want to show you
how an airplane is steered.
This lever is called the Control
Stick or Joy Stick. The "Stick"
controls the motions of an airplane
in all the directions in which an auto
mobile cannot move. In other words,
it controls the up and down or
Pitching" movements, and the side
or Rolling" movements. AS 1 push
the stick forward, the nose drops.
Do you all see how the nose of the
plane appears to be pointing about a
yard below the horizon? The ship
is picking up speed now, and as I
pull back on the controls a little, 1t
rises rapidly. Do you get it? Push
the stick forward-the plane goes
down. Pull back, the machine climbs
higher. When l put the stick in the
right OF left position, the airplane
tits or banks" to the right or left.
These are the Rudder Pedals.
They control the direction the ship
is going, or steer it as you steer a
car. l am holding the right pedal
in. The plane is turning to- the
right, but it is also 'skidding" to-
ward the left. To overcome the skid
we use the stick to bank the airplane.
Do you notice how much smoother
this turn is? l am still pushing the
right pedal, but l pushed the stick
to the right this time. You can all
see that / am holding the stick in
neutral, yet the machine is still in
the turn. If l pushed the controls
to the right and left them there, the
ship would keep right on turning
over until it was on its back. l
simply pushed the stick right and
held it there until the wings tilted to
the angle l desired, then / returned
it to neutral. OF course, held the
Rudder Pedal, because wanted the
plane to keep on turning.
Well, now you know how to turn
an airplane. Any Of you could do it
with little practice. BY the way,
does anyone feel frightened when he
looks down? Why don't you? Ira
call hearing one or two of you say
that you always got dizzy when you
were on high places. Didn't you say
that height made you sick, Young
Lady?
"Yes, but this is different. 1t
isn't at all like being on a tall build
ing. 1t almost seems as If l were
looking at a picture when / look at
that town below US. l feel like Gull
liver getting his first look at the Lii
iiputians."
We have the secret right there
1t is just like looking at a picture.
We can't judge the distance, 80 it
doesn't freighten us. 1t is almost the
same as looking at the view from a
high point. We can't place our
selves away up here above the scene,
and it's as If we were looking thru
the pages of picture book.

FARM BUREAU HEAD URGES
REAL ESTATE TAX VALUE

SURVEY
Study Of present assessed valua-
ton of real estate for tax purposes
is being urged by President H. H.
Nuttle of the Maryland Farm Bureau
in message to all County Farm Blu
reaus of the state, it has been an
nounced from the state office of the
Organization in Baltimore. The re-
quest is made by the Farm Bureaus
president in order that organized
farmers may present their wishes be-
fore the coming season of the Mar
land Legislature which will have the
question to consider.
"a general reassessment every FIVE
years is required by Maryland law"
according to Mr.. Nuttle's letter to the
20 County Farm Bureaus of Mary
land. "The legislature of 1898
postponed a general reassessment un-
! til 1887. This was an economy
measure to save the cost of assess
ment which amounted to $350,0OO
in 1928 in the state and proportion
ate amounts in the counties. Unless
legislation is again passed to post
pone the assessment it will be re-
quired in 1887"
Mr.. Nuttle's request to the county
units of his organization is in line
with recommendations of the state
tax committee of Grange and Farm
Bureau which is drawing up the pro-
gram of tax legislation that farmers
will support at Annapolis. The COM
mittee points out that delay in reas-
sessment has brought considerable in
equality in assessed valuations and
present sales value. Various coun-
ties run from 68 to 1913 per cent in
actual value as compared to assessed
valuation, and it is thought by
committee members that variations
within counties are even greater.
The final report of the tax COM
mittee will be presented to annual
meetings of both Grange and Farm
Bureau in December and January,
Mr.. Nuttle says.

Great POem
Friends of Evangelist and Author
John Moses Baker, of Baltimore, Md,
will enjoy reading his Great Poem,
A Good Wife Heavens Gift to Man in
this issue of The Midland Journal.
A Critic of Poetry writing to Evange-
list Baker says this is the greatest
Poem ever written on this subject
and will do much good. Its original
ity and grandeur are sublime, many
letters have been received by the au-
thor, cngratulating him. One of
these coming from a very prominent
person in England and others coming
from women and men all over the
country, all of them speak of the
Great Poem, some said copy of the
Great Poem should be framed and on
the wall of every home in the land,
for the goodSit would surely do.
A minister writing Rev. and Mrs.
Baker said he and his wife read The
Poem together and thought how
much good 1t would do If only every
husband and wife could read this
Poem together.
The poem has been widely publish
ed not only in this country but thru
out North America. Evangelist John
Moses Baker and wife were married
fifty years November %, 1888, and
are we'll known to many, they having
conducted revival services in differ
ent parts of our country. Their great
life work has proved that they have
been especially called and equipped
for the great work of evangelism.

State Department of Health says

by the chest clinics held throughout
the counties and by other activities of
the Maryland Tuberculosis Associa-
ton that are made possible through
the sale of these seals.
For over twenty-five years, the
funds derived from the sale of the
Christmas Seals have helped to furn-
ish ammunition for the fight against
tuberculosis in Maryland. Some of
the ammunition has been used for ed
ucational campaigns; some for the
support of Miracle House where
children who are threatened with the
disease are cared for during the sum-
mer months and helped to grow
strong and we'll. A large share has

The new proposal for a Is man
Council in this city which will do
away with the present nine man
council and revert to what is vir-
tually ward politics, gained con-
siderable momentum here Sunday
afternoon, when that dynamic lead
er and astute politician, DR.. Will
liam Hodge, pastor of Avery A. M.
E. Church, Cleveland, delivered a
firery address before an overflow
crowd at ST. John Presbyterian
Church. His subject: HAS the Ne
gro been sold down the river by
the nineman council was scarcely
touched on. He referred to it only
once when he said: "The Negro has
not only been sold down the river,
but is already under the river and
will soon die-politically, unless he
help bring aobut a change in the
present set up of the local city gov
eminent"
The occasion for such an address
in which DR.. Hodge explained in
detail the benefits to be derived
from the new councilmanic set-up,
was one of the Detroit Civic Rights
Committees regular educational
meetings and DR.. Hodge was prin-
sipal speaker. He was brought to
the city by the Civic Rights Com
mission because of his acknowledge
ed keen interest in the Civic better
ment of the group and because of
his expert knowledge of the work
ings of the ward system in politics
as it applies to other cities.
DR.. Hodge began by saying the
system of electing councilmen at
large may be all right, but that is
usually lodges Negroes on the out
side. He gave splendid account
of the election systm in his city
nd of the many good things Ne
groes have gained thru it. Enthusi-
asm ran high when the speaker
told his hearers There is no love
in politics, you get only what you
take" The cheering was loud and
long when he recited the fact that

Cleveland is signed by Negro, But
