HARDING HOLDS RECORD AS MOST ECONOMICAL EXEcUTIVE IN WORLD Running White House on Less Money than Congress Appropriated for purpose Washington, —President Harding is the world's most economical executive. The expenses of running the White House this year will be approximately $216 800. This sum includes the President's salary of $75,000; $80,000 for office expenses, consisting of a personnel of approximately 40 clrs. 20 secret service men, messenger and stenographers and a score of other items such as telegrams, telephones, stationery, etc.; $36,000 for contingencies and $25 000 for traveling expen es. President Harding is effecting a reduction in expenses in executive offices in line with the policy of economy which he has prescribed for other government departments. One of the greatest cuts in expense is that of his own traveling bills. The appropriations made by the last Congress were based upon the former chief executive. Up to date President Harding has saved over one-third of the allowance made for traveling expenses. One of the first things President Harding did when coming into office was to purchase a large autonobile for his private use, upon the ground that he did not feel at liberty to use the government automobile at government expense when he took trips for his own pleasure. According to a report just issued by the Treasury department the actual expenses of the executive offices for July and August, this year, were $91,893 less than for the corresponding months last year. For simplicity and economy the White House, under the present administration, sets the world record. To maintain the office of the President of the United States, who is chairman of the world's largest corporation, cos s each individual in this country two and one-half mills per annum. The annual per capita cost of other departments of the government for the last fiscal year were as follows: War Department $10 50; interest on public debt, $9 51; payment to railroads under government guarantee, $6 96; Navy Department, $6 19; Treasury Department, $4.65; Interior Department, $3.40; Postoffice Department, $1.28; Shipping Board $1.24; Agricultural Department, $1.14; Department of Commerce, 30 cents; legislative department, (the Congress), 18 cents; Department of Justice, 16 cents; State Department, eight cents, and Department of Labor, eight cents. It is the purpose of the Harding Administration to radically reduce this per capita cost of operating the government and to effect that end is the duty of the budget burea. A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY.

Announcements We are authorized to announce the name of Ed Cockrel, of Grant Precinct as a candidate for County Commissioner of Massac County, subject to the action of the voters at the Republican Primary election Wednesday September 14, 1921. Governor Len Small, has been and still being persecuted beyond the limit by his political enemies still he has an abiding faith in the justice of the courts and is demanding a speedy trial of his accusers who are seeking a delay in order to embarrass him knowing full well they cannot convict him of the charge in the indictment. Governor Len Small, is the poor man's friend, he is one that stands four square against every wind of opression of the poor laboring man and woman. He is with the masses as against the classes and for this stand, after the money monopolies found it impossible to control him or buy him, they at once sought to kill him politically and wreck his administration and embarrass him to the extent that he would not call an extra session in order to redeem his pre-election pledges to the people. But the Tribune, Daily News, Brundage and all of his political enemies have found him to be the liveliest corpse in the political arena. We have kept our ear close to public sentiment since the much talked of indictment; at first many of the people of the State thought him guilty of some great crime, but as time rolled and the method of their madness was explained the sentiment has changed since they have seen the object which prompted his accusers. They see the Governor in an entirely different light and the consensus of opinion is, that the Governor will be acquitted. Some go so far as to predict that the indictments will be quashed. Whether that be true or not, we know that he is one of best friends the poor people of Illinois have ever had to grace the Governor's chair, and we feel it our duty to stand by him.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes. When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Catarrah Peafness that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All Druggists, 75c. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

One of the first things a young man who wants to see the world should learn is how to eat. Otis Warren Barrett says so, and if anyone knows he does. He has been wandering into queer parts of the world for the government for years past and he is never sick, says the Kansas City Star. "Train the palate," says Mr. Barrett. "I can live on palm oil chop in Liberia or raw fish in Japan and never have a qualm. I may not prefer monkeys bolled in grease and eaten with the bare hand, but I can eat monkeys with the best of monkey eaters. The man who is particular about his chop had best stay at home." Mr. Barrett has made a success of wandering. He is one of the greatest of our agricultural experts. His latest exploit is to teach the natives of the palm countries how to make white sugar out of palm sap—which they never knew before—by which process four hundred and fifty thousand tons of the finest sugar imaginable has been added to the sugar total of the world. In all his years of wandering in swamp and jungle he has never been seriously ill, and he attributes this in part to the fact that he can live at the local table without repining. "Cassava paste isn't very good," said Mr. Barrett, reminiscently. "It doesn't taste like anything, and it is so sticky that if a man were to attempt to chew it his jaws might be clamped together or perhaps his teeth might be pulled out. One just makes a little ball of it, rolls it in gravy as a lubricant, and lets it slip down." ADDITIONAL LOCALS. Rev. G, W. Prince, of Maywood, recently called to the 1st Baptist church of this city, is expected to arrive Saturday. Mrs. Will Gibbs, went to Carbondale, Monday to see her brother who has been sick for several months. George Crim, of Carbondale, spent Sunday in the city. Rev. J. B.

R. Phillips, was at his charge at Unionuille, Snnday. He visited The Gazette office Monday. Several women went to Ky., Thursday to gather hickory nuts.

The Red Cross is spending ten Million Dollars a year to help the disabled on service man and his family ANNUAL BOOK CALL - NOV 11 - 23 COMMUNITY WORK OF RED CROSS Chapters Show Splendid Work for Soldiers and in Health All over Illinois there is an increased interest manifest in the many activities of the American Red Cross. The membership of 256,438 persons in the 126 Chapters shows the far-reaching enthusiasm and the scope of the many activities which comprise the present Red Cross program. Every part of the state is supporting the work for ex-service men, with five U. S. P. H. S. hospitals caring for ex-service men. This medical social service work is one of the principal activities in each of these hospitals, not only providing recreation, but in assisting the men to adjust their various difficulties. There have been 10,400 ex-service men served by local Red Cross Chapters during the past year. In addition, 1,521 disabled men still in service have been helped in various ways. World war veterans and their families to the number of 105,522 have been served by Chapters, which have expended $410,000 in this work. Throughout the nation $10,000,000 is being spent annually by the Red Cross in helping ex-service men and their families. Alsq 63,525 patients in hospitals at army camps and naval stations have been visited by Red Cross workers this year. In addition 10,188 enlisted men have been served by Chapters. Important as is the work for soldiers and their families, the health program of the Red Cross is filling an equal need in every community where it has been developed. There are 2,342 nurses enrolled with the Red Cross in Illinois. These nurses are qualified according to Red Cross standards for service in war and emergency. Forty-two Chapters are employing public health nurses for community work. During the past year 66 Red Cross public health nurses have been employed by various Chapters in the state. Their work has been in the schools, in teaching children health and sanitation, as well as reaching the homes of the community through personal visits. Women in the state have shown great interest in the classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick, which have been carried on in connection with the work of Red Cross Chapters. During the past year 2,541 persons have received certificates in the 319 classes which have been conducted. The strong health program of the Red Cross, in addition to Home Nursing instructions, include classes in First Aid, Nutrition, and Life-Saving. Much of this work is along preventive lines and designed to prevent accidents or spread of contagion. There have been 3,533 children enrolled in the 155 Nutrition classes in connection with the work of the schools this past year. In addition to this work in Nutrition, 448 women have completed courses in Food Selection. As the majority of these women were home makers, approximately that many families have received suggestions and instruction regarding food facts and correct diet. There are 752 members of the Red Cross Life-Saving Corps in Illinois. Each of these persons have passed the examination and is trained in methods of resuscitating victims of drowning. Also 84 certificates have been issued in the First Aid classes. These classes have been found of great value, not only in instructing men and women in the proper course to pursue in cases of emergency, but in the prevention of accident. Work of the Junior Red Cross among the 850 Auxiliaries has been carried on by its membership of 210,123 children. They have aided in promoting health programs through the schools, visited hospitals, and helped to provide comforts and entertainment for disabled soldiers, as well as unfortunate children at home and abroad. To aid in carrying out these many activities, and to increase the community usefulness of the local Red Cross Chapters, an opportunity will be given for rehearing membership in the Red Cross during the Fifth Annual Red Call. This opens on Armistice Day, November 11, and continues through Thanksgiving. Every membership dollar is an investment in community welfare and in relief activities, locally, nationally and internationally. Public Health Nursing Program. A WITH 49 Red Cross Public Health nurses promoting better living conditions in connection with the other activities of the 126 Chapters of the American Red Cross here in Illinois the importance of the work is of unusual interest. The rural program has been found well adapted to this state, and many localities have been reached by this department of activity during the past year for the first time. Physical inspection of the children in the rural schools is one of the most important phases of this work. They are inspected for defective teeth, eyesight, and hearing. Weighing and measuring are a part of this health program, and frequent nutrition classes are organized to help under-nourished children reach a normal development. Public Health nurses frequently have adult classes in Home Hygiene as well as classes in the schools, thereby extending their services beyond routine of school inspection. During the past year 2,541 women have passed the examinations and received certificates in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick given by Red Cross instructors. Different problems exist in the cities, where the dangers of contagion and the need of intensive health education are greater. In addition to the physical inspection of school children, the organizing of clinics and the investigation of home conditions, there is much "follow up" work to be done. Through the co-operation of the teachers, minor defects which tend to retard school children mentally as well as physically are detected and corrected in the clinics. In both city and country communities the Red Cross has a clearly defined program which may be adapted to local needs. That 23 Chapters since last year have realized the need of this work and extended their program to include this very practical activity proves the growing appreciation for this endeavor. On Armistice Day—November 11—the annual Roll Call of the Red Cross will be launched. Membership dollars will enable the Red Cross not only to carry on the valuable service it is already rendering, but expand the work to reach a wider field. $1,121,868 HAS BEEN EXPENDED IN THE CARE OF EXSERVICE MEN AND THEIR FAMILIES BY THE 748 CHAPTERS OF THE AMERICAN RED CROSS HERE IN CENTRAL DIVISION. MORE THAN TEN MILLIONS IS BEING SPENT ANNUALLY FOR THESE SOLDIERS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. YOUR MEMBERSHIP DOLLARS WILL HELP TO CARRY ON THIS WORK. ANNUAL ROLL CALL ARMISTICE DAY TO THANKS-GIVING (NOV. 11 TO 24). RE-MEMBER and RE-ENROLL. JUNIOR RED CROSS AIDS CITY ZENSHIP IN ILLINOIS. That the boys and girls of today who are to be the men and women of tomorrow are learning the value of good citizenship not only in their own communities but throughout the world, is shown by the $210,123 members enrolled in the 850 Junior Auxiliaries of the American Red Cross here in this state. More than five million pupils in the public, parochial and private schools of the United States are enrolled in this great organization. Here in Illinois a number of other Junior activities have been carried on with the help of the teachers. More than 880 toys were made by Juniors in Champaign, and sent overseas to children's schools in the devastated regions. Dixon made a feature of the work in civics. Hot lunches were provided from Junior funds in Granite City and Pinckneyville. This work is considered a great help to nutrition service, which is another Red Cross activity often carried on in the schools. Milk was distributed in schools in Petersburg and financed by the Juniors. In many of the Chicago schools the sick and unfortunate among the service men as well as inmates of children's hospitals and various institutions have become the especial interest of the different schools. Programs have been provided for the patients by the Juniors, concerts and story hours arranged for their amusement. A number of garments were made by the children for hospital use of convalescent ex-service men. Activities for this year in Illinois are well under way. Schools are enrolling as auxiliaries to carry on the various objects. To carry on this week and increase its scope as well as the many other vital community services which the Red Cross chapters are rendering if their communities in one of the objectives of the Annual Roll which opens on November 11, Armistice day, and continues until Thanksgiving.

St. Olive Baptist and Pastor of West Church, wishes all of members of the conversions. No trait of a girl's character is more prized than a sweet and happy disposition. It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little roughnesses, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and gloom. The happy girl makes the happy and contented wife, who will bring her girlhood and endearing qualities to make fresh smiles in her new home. -Home Notes. A Crime Self-Punished.

Notice Sisters, and I must say Brethren of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Family: Vel Vo Face Bleach, Fasca Powder, Hair Grower, Cocanut Oil- As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Maitha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. Only One.
