(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated Press)
 SEATTLE, Feb. 6, - Strikes continued to spread in King County WPA projects, despite the order of State Administra- tor Don Abel dismissing seven- teen hundred workers.
 An official workers alliance re- presenting them, said that by this morning forty five hundred in all had left their jobs, seek ing higher pay. Seventy five more are striking tonight.
 Abel said they were discharged because the regulations provide for the release of employees vol- untarily absent from work more than five days.

Rehabilitation Is
 Under Way Thru
 Out Flood Area
(Bv The Associated oress)


 UNDATED, Feb. 6, - The gi- gantic task of rehabilitation, far surpassing the aftermath of the San Francisco fire and eathquake of 1906, forged ahead at quick ening pace in the flood ravaged Ohio valley.
 Federal and state officials count ed the loss at unestimated mill ions of dollars.
 AM down the thousand mile flood trail from Pittsburgh to Cairo "clean up" legions of WPA workers pushed mud, muck and fculed debris back into the river. It was estimated it would cost two hundred and fifty dollars to repair each private home. The herculean job, it was believed, would take from three to six months and would consist of re- habilitating approximately four hundred thousand homes and buildings damaged.
 Near Cairo, the peak of the flood showed into the Mississip- pi valley, but the waters are re- ceding slowly. Additional fataliti es checked raised the total dead to four hundred.

Especial to the Nugget

JUNEAU, Feb. 6, - Coffey's memorial urging the abolition of fish traps popped into the house when the author demanded that it be brought out of the fisheries committee, where it has been for sixteen days.
 The committee said it needed more time. Finally a motion was passed to give five days more.

 Little has transpired in the sen- ate as a result of committee meet ings.
 Sen. Powers presented bill aimed to extend the existing ab- sentee voting law by broadening it's scope so that an elector ten miles from a precinct, instead of twenty miles, may cast an absen- tee ballot.

INTERESTING OLD RECEIPTS

One of the best collections of an
tique receipts is in the possession OF
Mr. A. G. Masterson, of Malta, which
belonged to his great grandfather,
George Appleman, who settled IN
Deerfield township in the year 1903,
coming from Hemlock township,
vania. The farm has been in the
family ever since, and is now owned
by Riley Bankes. Records show
that he first had 80 acres and later
purchased 40 acres more. One tax
receipt bears date of 1916, and is
for go cents for Levy Tax for
1876" and another is for county
tax for 1917. These taxes are on
the 80 acre tract. Peter CROOKS
name is signed as tax collector. The
receipts are on small scraps of pa
per all written out in long hand, the
writing being good. Mr.. Masterson
has Mr.. Appleman's tax receipts for
many years, and the first receipt
signed by county treasurer was in
the year 1880, with John r. Price
treasurer The first receipt upon
which a valuation appears was in
1884, the 80 acres having taxable
value of 500. The same land is on
the duplicate now for $1,000.
Under date. of Sept. 20, 1920, a
receipt reads: Il hereby certify that
have examined George Appleman
and think he ought to be exempt
from military duty, in consequence
of deafness" Signed: A. Bankes,
surgeon, 3rd regiment, 3rd division,
Ohio militia. Zachariah Lawrence's
name is signed as president of the
board.
Back in the early days evidently,
before there were fences, farmers
had a mark for their stock, judging
by a receipt under date of May s..
1920, reading, as follows: 81 do
verify that George Appleman enter
ed his earmark for his cattle, ETC.,
as follows, to-wit: A crop in the
left ear, and two Sits in the same
ear, and an undercut in right ear. .

OBJECT Of PITY
AMONG FRIENDS
Plight Of Ironton Woman and
How She Found Relief

Wherever I went. was an object
of pity among my friends" said a
we'll known woman of Ironton, Ohio,
Mrs Cora Miller of G26 South Ninth
street, to an interviewer the other
day. II was SO i'll that / had lost all
hope of ever being myself again.
My skin had turned a dirty yellow,
my eyes had big rings around them.
and every step I took seemed to tax
my strength. My stomach was so
delicate there were times when the
only thing it would retain was
raw egg. I was bilious, and I tried
every kind Of cathartic without per-
manent relief. My head felt stuffy;
there were ringing noises in my ears
and / had difficulty in hearing what
was said to me. A bad taste in my
mouth made me sure my breath
was offensive, and when / exerted
myself my heart thumped so I could
hardly breathe. Altogether I could
not have been much more wretched,
and the few friends who stuck to
me shook their heads whenever they
discussed my case:
medical treatment sometimes re-
lieved me for while, but always
seemed to lose it's value after a few
days. One day my sister brought
home a new medicine someone had
told her about. I did not want to
take something / knew nothing
about, but nothing else was doing
me any good, and more to please
my sister than anything else be-
gan taking it. In three days I had
a better nights sleep than I had
enjoyed in years. l thought that
was just an accident but / must say
that by the time that bottle was
gone l knew it was helping me, and
got another. Before it was finish
ed I was getting better My head
cleared up so that l felt livelier,
and my stomach digested the simple
food took. BY the end of the Sec
ond bottle was actually hungry at
mealtimes.
"Now you can see my skin is
clear, my eyes have lost that awful
tired look, and my general condi-
ton is better than 1t has been l.
many years. You asked me to tell |
you how / got we'll, and car put
the answer in two wOrds-World's
Tonic. What that wonderful medi- |
cine has done for me is so marvellous
that l think 1t is the greatest dis |
covery ever made for sick people,"
So many other people think the |
same way that Worlds Tonic has |
built up wonderful standing in Nc |
Connelsville. You will know why |
after you have tried 1t yourself.
Worlds Tonic may be obtained OF
Stanbery, Sears, McConnelsville; |
Harris, Malta, or at any other first |
class drug store.

TO FARMERS NEEDING CREDIT
BECAUSE OF FLOOD


All Morgan county farmers who
are in need of credit because OF
flood damage should apply for loans
through the office of J. e. Miller,
local rural rehabilitation supervisor
for the resettlement administration
here in the Stanbery building.

ton cooperating with the farm cred
it administration, Red Cross and
the newly created Disaster Loan
Corporation, our office has been
designated as clearing house for
all loan applications in the county, :
Mr.. Miller states. He explained
that Through cooperative arrange
ment just completed, the resettle-
ment administration will assume
the responsibility of making neces-
sary feed loans, standard rehabili-
tation loans and grants for human
subsistence. These loans will pro
vide funds for replacement of farm
equipment, feed and limited
amount of livestock. Loan applica'
tions needed for resumption OF
farming operations and which can
not be handled directly by the re-
settlement administration will be
referred by Mr. Miller to the farm
credit administration.
Where loans are needed fol
building repairs and replacements
of household equipment, applica
tions will be turned over to the
Disaster Loan Corporation. 1t was
also stated that where grants fol
such assistance can be made by the
Red Cross, applications will be
referred to that agency. With this
plan in operation, efforts of the fou,
agencies will be coordinated SO as
to prevent overlapping.
