IS I XATUF K IM IOIATY THE XEXT ATTORNEY (.K.NKKAL WlK'ii the day for the last Repub lican convention drew near, and when it appealed that either Wood, Lowden or Johnson would be the nominee, Mr. Daugherty. of Ohio, Senator Harding's campaign mana ger, made a statement that has since become famous. Ho declared that at an early morning hour during the convention a group of tired Republi can leaders would meet in n hotel room, dense with tobacco smoke, and after long deliberation would decide upon the nomination of Warren (J. Harding. His prophecy having prov ed correct, he is slated to be reward ed by being given the portfolio ol Attorney-General. Not without ob jection, however. Lawyers of Ins native state, declaring Daugherty to be no inor.! than a "third-rate law yer," are reported to bo astounded at the prospect of his elevation to such a high post, and the influential New York Times declares his ap pointment would be universally re garded as the- payment of a political debt. "There Is no objection.'' says the Times, "to rewarding Mr. Daugh erty. The President-elect naturally feels grateful to him. But lot the re ward be suited to Mr. Daugherty's abilities. If he wants to control the patronage of Ohio, so as to keep the party machine in good running order, torn it over to him. If some orna mental office with a good salary is necessary to him, make him an In spector general or a grand imjuisitoi' or whatever, but don't disturb public confidence In the new administration by selecting sn Attorney General whom advised legal opinion would pronounce without proper (iialiiica tlom for the office."

For sometime prices paid for your farm products have been low. It is but natural for you to want lower prices on the farm implements used in producing your crops. Announcement is made by the Oliver Chilled Plow Works of a general price reduction in their lines that brings prices to the basis of 1918. They are the first to m ake this reduction and are taking the loss that the move brings for there has been little reduction in labor or ma terialas their contribution in hastening a return to nor mal conditions. This is your opportunity to secure new, up-to-date Oliver quality implements that will help you produce a full crop, and get them at a price in line with the reduced prices in your farm products.
