EDITORIAL AND FEATURES An Independent Newspaper Issued Every Afternoon Except Sunday Paul V. Hester Editor and Publisher Daily Greeting To Our Readers Thus on we tread, and thus each heart in silence Its fate fulfills, Waiting and hoping for the heavenly music Beyond the distant hills. —Constance Fenimore Woolson. CONGRESS HAS MUCH BIG WORK TO DO Members of Congress are going to Washington, in preparation for opening of the regular session. There is much work that may be done in advance of the actual formal assembling of the Congress. There is much for committees to do which may be done—which usually is done—without reference to the time when Congress is in session. The committees are independent of the regular sittings of Congress. They sit or journey as they please, in inquiries and hearings. The time is near at hand when Congress will sit the year around. Legislative business is accumulating so rapidly and so prodigiously that enough work will be at hand to keep Congress going all the time. When this eventuates, the people should demand that Congress adopt and act upon business principles. Business of the people should be handled with exemplary care. Congress should be free from hurtful agitations and from the machinations of politicians. Its whole work and province should be to upbuild and to promote. Men of skill and of keen sense of patriotic duty and responsibility should be elected to Congress. WORLD INFORMATION IS FARMERS' NEED Information from all over the wide world is to be made available to the American farmer. The Federal Department of Agriculture is making a world survey of agricultural conditions. From this will be indicated to the American farmer what openings he may have abroad for the sale of his products. WORLD INFORMATION IS FARMERS' NEED Information from all over the wide world is to be made available to the American farmer. The Federal Department of Agriculture is making a world survey of agricultural conditions. From this will be indicated to the American farmer what openings he may have abroad for the sale of his products. These surveys should be made frequently by the Department of Agriculture. Information thus gained should be disseminated throughout the farm belt. Having the information which can be had in this way, the American farmer would be fortified in his battle for world markets. Competition in marketing farm products is becoming keener. The American farmer does not control a foreign market as a matter of course. In some lines he must compete actively with producers in other lands. It behooves him, therefore, to gather and to use all the information he can about foreign crop conditions and about foreign demand for farm products. Beware of fraudulent stocks! There are plenty of good stocks which are a safe investment. Look carefully into any and all securities before buying. The good stock should invite inquiry, for through inquiry is the good stock vindicated. And through intelligent inquiry worthless stocks find no market. TYPICAL FRENCH DUEL IS ROARING FARCE France has had another of those funny duels. Doubtless the sensible people of France are laughing as much about this "affair of honor," in which a "Due" figured as principal, as are Americans. The "honor" of both parties was satisfied when the Duke was thrust under a thumb-nail. France very commendably has outlawed the duel. Any so-called "affairs of honor" in that country now are contrary to law. The duel is relegated in every civilized land. Public sentiment, as well as law, is against these affrays. This age is beyond the codes of honor which prevailed in the dark and misty past. To satisfy honor today, it is not necessary to shoot at or stab at one's enemy. There are more sensible and less brutal means of settling personal differences and grievances. Too many murderers go unpunished or insufficiently punished; in this state.

GOVERNORS' CONFERENCE UNANIMOUS ENDORSEMENT OF NATIONAL PROHIBITION BY THE MAJORITY OF U.S. GOVERNORS JOHN BARLEY CORN PARAGRAPHS Home is the place where a man's other pants are. Pinchot may also settle the liquor question, but alas! the consumer will pay more. A town may boast of its culture, but its chief source of pride is the traffic problem. Perhaps the easiest way to rise from humble surroundings is to kindle the fire with kerosene. As we understand the radical group, the new slogan is to be: "Raise less wheat and more hell." It is estimated that every normal child is equipped with enough spare parts to net a surgeon $125. The way to make sure that it is a drugstore is to step outside and look at the sign again. There is too much effort to keep dust out of the bookcase and not enough effort to keep dirt out. The wicked city is not without its thrills if you have a car and can run out to a country roadhouse. The charge that red-headed girls are bow-legged is nonsense. Coloring the hair doesn't bow the legs.

WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS Alexander Archipenko, called by many critics the greatest living sculptor, Alexander Archipenko has come to this country to open what he terms a "modern school of art." America, Archipenko believes, is the place in which to look for the great art of the future, because it is the only country not jaded and rent SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DR. W. F. THOMSON Oh, list' to the lilt Of the meadow lark's call; There's a lot of good health In the woods this fall. You can't get hard work from a soft head. Who remembers when red flannel chest protectors cured consumption? Watch your neighbor when you've fever, oft her dainties make you worse. People who chase new "cures" and Jack-O-Lanterns always land in quagmires. "Private Becomes General"—Headline. Private stock becomes General Indisposition, we presume. Here's some bunk a doctor passes: "Throw away your useless glasses, You don't need them when you read"; I shall make my own decision—If they give me clearer vision. Then it's glasses that I need. Have faith in the protective substances, naturally in your blood, and they not it, will overcome most of your minor all-ments. DINNER STORIES Little Tommy had a sore toe, so his mother thought this a good opportunity to make him eat his cereal. "Tommy," she said, "If you eat your oatmeal, it will cure your toe." Shortly afterward, Tommy came to his mother with a very disgusted air. "I ate my cereal," he said, The wicked city is not without its thrills if you have a car and can run out to a country roadhouse. The charge that red-headed girls are bow-legged is nonsense. Coloring the hair doesn't bow the legs. Any congressman can frame a new law, but only the wise old bird can think up a new source of revenue. Another excellent way to increase your earnings during your spare hours is to get outdoors and play. That woman who married her sixth husband wasn't very complimentary when she said she'd try anything once. The bee is a remarkable little worker, of course, but he makes the greatest impression when he sits down. The test of good citizenship, however, is to obey a law that appears to have all the characteristics of idiosyncrasy. There's one advantage in sowing wild oats. You don't need federal assistance to get yours at harvest time. Making a sincere effort to pick the ten greatest women isn't particularly hazardous if you are a bachelor. The office stenographer says there is no excitement about getting a husband unless it is some other woman's husband. Correct this sentence: "Very well," agreed the life insurance agent, "when a man says 'no,' I never insist." If you have some occult power that enables you to pick out a man's busiest day, you will make a good life insurance agent. If the farmer seems morose and depressed, you can always cheer him up by persuading him to talk about his new closed car. WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS Alexander Archipenko, called by many critics the greatest living sculptor, Alexander Archipenko has come to this country to open what he terms a "modern school of art." America, Archipenko believes, is the place in which to look for the great art of the future, because it is the only country not jaded and rent by the war. The famous sculptor is above medium height, robust, with a strong Slavic face, the eager eyes of an artist and the suave, gentle ways of a nobleman. His home is in Kiev, Russia. Examples of his work are on exhibition in most of the art museums of Europe. Some of his best efforts are in American homes. Even Japan boasts of one or two of his important contributions. Archipenko had been conducting a school in Berlin for some time before he closed it several weeks ago to go to Prague, where he executed a bust of President Masaryk of Czecho-Slovakia. He intends giving exhibitions in various parts of the country before establishing his school in New York.

Mrs. Brown was bathing her baby, Boston Transcript reports, when a new neighbor's little girl came into the room carrying a doll. She watched the process for a few minutes and then said: "Mrs. Brown, how long have you had your baby?" "Seven months, dear", answered the mother. The little girl stole another glance at her doll, which was very much battered and minus a leg and an arm. "My, but haven't you kept it nice!" she said with an envious sigh. SATURDAY, OCT.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING POINCARE AS COLLECTOR (Louisville Times) If Premier Poincare cannot say that he has collected the bills of France by the use of troops in the Ruhr he may feel at the moment that he can say he has bagged a buffer State; that he has improved the frontier. A Rhineland Republic, safe upon its foundation, accepted by the rest of Germany, and by the other European powers, as permanent, might be worth more to France than billions of German marks. Assuming that the separation of the Rhineland from the rest of Germany is fait accompli the Premier of France is in a position to receive the congratulations of his countryman, albeit he will not receive ungrudgingly the congratulations of European powers who look upon France anxiously, despite her diminishing population as a country animated by vaulting ambition. The newly hatched, or embryonic, Rhineland Republic, throws new light upon the confidence which Premier Poincare has exhibited since the collapse of passive resistance, and upon his hauteur toward the Stresemann Government. Wearing the garb of bill collector he has been busy at state-making, and that, of course, wasn't the business of the Stresemann Government. What will be the final result of the revolution led by Leo Deckers cannot be foreseen. It is, so far, bloodless. Bloodless revolutions are modern improvements upon bloody ones when they reflect the will of a people. This one seems to be a coup of aliens represented by troops upon the soil that is the scene of the bloodless revolution.

And sometimes if he isn't careful, it is liable to put him over the hills to the poorhouse. The ukulele was invented in America, but the man who invented it moved to Hawaii and disguised himself as a Hawaiian to escape being lynched.
