HUBBARD & SON mm Getting In JaiL If things keep on as they have been going for the past few years, it will be much easier for an American citizen to go to jail and stay there than it will be to keep out of jail. Every now and then some individual or some clique bobs up with a brand new plan for turning some of us into criminals. The number of new ways for getting a man into jail is surprising. Wisconsin has its "eugenics law," which makes it a felony for a couple to marry without undergoing a physical examination. The Illinois legisla ture, at its present session, will gravely consider the passage of a similar criminal statute. Other states are being asked to pass laws making it a felony for a citizen to have any liquor in his home, even for medicinal pur poses. One state has a law against dancing the tango. The Indiana anti-cigarette law never has been repealed, and the state has, as a result, several hundred thousarfd perfectly good citizens who could be arrested and sent to jail any day. Perhaps the most striking development of our government is that the laws are not made by all the people nor by representatives of the people, but by small cliques, highly or ganized and tremendously en ergized over particular questions. These cliques are determined to force their views upon the whole people, while at the same time other cliques are forcing their views upon them. The question is never asked whether the sup posed offenses against the com munity are as bad as the penal ties inflicted. There seems to be in the air a mania to find new ways of imprisoning American citizens, and yet, is there any thing that can be as bad for the individual or the nation as a man in jail who can possibly be kept out? Attention Farmers! Recommends Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. "I take pleasure in recommending Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to my customers because I have confidence in it. I find that they are all pleased with it and call for it when again in need of such a medicine," writes J. W. Sexon, Montevallo, Mo. For sale by all dealers. Adv.

"My daughter used Chamberlain's Tablets for constipation with good re suits and I can recommend tham high ly," writes Paul Babin, Brushly, La For sale by all dealers. Adv. Brevity. Brevity may or not be the "soul of wit," but there is no question in regard to brevity being the soul of conversation nowadays. The aim of the up-to-date conversationalist is to cut all corners and get there in the shortest possible time. In days of yore a man was polite under all circumstances, no matter how much time it con sumed. Then he would say "My dear sir, I desire that you under stand thorougly that I compre hend fully and in all detail the information you are endeavoring to impart to me." Now he says "Gotcha!" Look Out For Them. A cheerful disposition that scorns every rebuff of fortune and laughs in the face of disaster is a divine gift. "Fate itself has to concede a great many things to the cheeful man. " To be able to laugh away trouble is greater fortune than to possess the mines of king Solomon. It is a fortune, too that is within the reach of all who have the cour age and nobility of soul to keep their faces turned to the light. -0. S.

Prices Bring your Country Produce to us and Get Pargains THE WATO COMPANY a Divine Gift CLEAN-UP BARGAINS From different parts of the country come stories of a swindle successfully worked on farmer who thought they were going to get cheap groceries. Two smooth j strangers went through the com munities taking orders for a house .in Chicago, pretending to stil a standard brand of sugar and flour so cheaply that every farmer visited took from $10 to , $60 worth, and other things be-! sides. Because of the low prices the flour and sugar had to be "paid in advance." It is alleged . that in one community the swin- dlers picked up some $3,000 and i no groceries delivered. , I For the Stomach and Liver. I. N. Stuart, West Webster, N.

ISlIllS VERY UIIHAPF Physically and Mentally Worn Out Tells How Nervous and Crying Spells Were Ended by VinoL Monmouth, HI.: "I was weak, worn out and nervous. I bad no appetite and was setting so thin and discouraged, one day I just broke down and cried when a friend came in and asked me what was the matter. I told of my condition and how nothing I took seemed todomeany good. Vinol was suggested. I got a bottle and before it was half gone I could eat and sleep well I continued its use and now my friends say I look ten years younger, and I am well, healthy and strong. I wish I could induce every tired-out, worn-out, nervous woman to take Vinol." Mrs. Habbiet Gale, Monmouth, 111.
