STATE COMMITTEEMAN 24TH DISTRICT (Editorial from Albion Journal-Register of March 16, 1922.) ister of March 16, 1922.) The Electorate of Edwards county are pleased to present to the eleven counties of this 24th Congressional District the name of Alken E. Walker of Albion as a Republican candidate for State Committee, and in so doing, the people of "Old Edwards" believe that no more capable man could be brow forward for this responsible position to be filled at the Primary, April 11b. Allen E. Walker is in the very prime of life. A Republican among Republicans, and always a consistent supporter of the ticket once it has been named by the party he espouses. He has a spendid personality a high sense of honor and loyalty and possesses qualities of sound judgment and bent of leadership that has opened the door of opportunity for him time and again to perform signal service for the Republican party in his home county and out in the 24th District. He can be counted on to furnish his full measure of service in any honorable work looking toward the promotion of the Republican party and its principles. He enjoys the confidence, the respect and the esteem of all who know him, while his integrity and his sense of justice and of fair play are known to everyone. Conservative at all times, he never does rush and foolish things. His discretion and his eminent sense of what is just, fair and equitable in every situation makes him a dependable counselor or adviser in the professional, political or business life of his home community. He has been honored by Edwards county by being called to serve as Circuit Clerk, Chairman of the Republican County Committee, and is now serving his second term as States' Attorney. Through all those varied duties he has acquitted himself with ability and with admirable commanding distinction. When the World War came on Allen E. Walker practically abandoned his law practice for two whole years to give his time and energy to help in the winning of the war. As Chairman of the Liberty Loan drives, in Red Cross activities, in assisting the boys from all parts of the county in filling out questionairres, by counsel as legal adviser of the War Board, by encouragement by public addresses he performed his full part as a citizen and patriot in the great crisis that tested the fiber and quality of every American. In the more quiet times of peaceful pursuits he has always manifested a most commendable public spirit toward everything that has made for the progress and betterment of the home town, community and county, giving unstingibly of his time, his energy and his money to the advancement of the institutions and civic life about him. The time has come for the 24th District to draft Allen E. Walker for a wider field of usefulness. Edwards county takes the keenest possible pleasure, in presenting him to the electorate of this Congressional District—every inch a man and worthy in every sense of your respect, confidence, and your support at the polls in April. If he be honored with election to the Committee he will give a good account of himself. Make sure of that. Furthermore he will sit in the councils of the party as an integral factor when exigencies arise and abilities are in demand to plan and to execute in the highest and best interests of he party of Lincoln, of McKinley, of Roosevelt and of Harding.

Mr. Froe was sworn into office by William E. Williams, assistant clerk of the District Supreme Court. Among those present at the ceremony were Chief Deputy Recorder Robert W.

"I shall endeavor to conduct the work of the office with credit to the cause and the race which I represent," said Mr. Froe. "There is no desire upon my part to be a national leader; I only wish to be a national helper. We are passing through a serious period in the history of our country and there is a great amount of serious work that must be done. In performing this task there must be a spirit of unity. The people will find that I believe in upstanding manhood and womanhood. Call on me at any time for anything which I am able to do. I will be very glad to cooperate." Wants Larger Salaries Mr. Froe deplored the small salaries paid to the government employees in the office and said one of his missions would be to assist in bettering the salary conditions. He announced that for the present there would be no changes in the organization staff. Mr. Froe's day prior to his taking the oath of office was a busy one. Upon arriving in Washington he first went to the office of Congressman Goodykoontz of the Fifth W. Virginia district, which is the home of Mr. Froe. There he was greeted by Congressman Goodykoontz, Cooper and others and was taken to the United States Supreme Court where upon motion of Congressman Goodykoontz, he was admitted to practice before that body. They then visited the offices of Senators Davis, Elkins and Howard Sutherland of West Virginia, both of whom had joined with Congressman Goodykoontz in urging Mr. Froe's selection. The West Virginia delegation joined in extending congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Froe. Lawyer for 20 Years Arthur G. Froe, a member of the West Virginia bar for more than 20 years, is one of the most prominent colored lawyers in that state. His home is at Welch, West Virginia. He has been described by his friends as an orator of ability and owing to this talent, he has been known as the "Colored William Jennings Bryan." He has taken a prominent part in Republican politics in his state for many years and has been Pay Your Subscriptions known as an ardent party worker among the members of his race. The Chicago Evening American, editorially, under the caption, "It Is a Hard Job Fighting for the People'; Governor Small's Efforts for Municipal ownership and a Five-cent Fare and Good Roads for Illinois Are Reflected in the Indictment of the 'Cement Trust' by Federal Authorities." says: "The fact that the federal authorities have instituted criminal proceedings against the individuals making up the 'Cement Trust' which Governor Small has fought in ILLINOIS ROAD-BUILDING WORK tends to demonstrate the justice and seriousness of the battle which the state's chief executive has waged in the interest of the people against the elleged profiteers NOW UNDER INDICTMENT. "Governor Small is to be admired for the enemies he has made. "Consistently he has fought for the people—for the people's ownership and a 5-cent fare in the Legislature, against the cement combine in road building—despite the handicaps placed upon him by the political prosecution he has been compelled to endure. "The Chicago Evening American has exposed the two chief trial lawyers in the prosecution of the Governor as paid attorneys for the Chicago Surface Lines. "How much or how little the powerful cement trust has had to do, behind the scenes, with the hunting and hounding of the Governor is not known, but the Governor speaks truly when hesays that it is a hard job fighting for the people. "Whether or not it is a thankless job will be demonstrated by the statewide vote April 11 for members of the Legislature. "The Brundage-Wilkerson-Mortimer force having failed to convict the Governor in court, having quashed the fellony indictment against him December 19 rather than meet Governor Small's challenge for an immediate starting of the trial on that date, and since then having twice refused Governor Small's plea for a trial on the one remaining, misdemeanor indictment, now would attempt to convict him in A POLITICAL TRIAL IN A POLITICAL COURT. "They have raised the IMPEACHMENT ISSUE in Illinois. The primary Appril 11 will decide whether or not the Governor, who has fought for the people, will be permitted to serve out the term for which the people elected him. "It is gratifying indeed that the prosecution was thwarted in its scheme to start the Governor's trial at a date so late that but ONE SIDE OF THE CASE could have been heard before the IMPORTANT VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE, April 11. "This attempt to force the Governor to trial, under circumstances which would have prevented one word of defense being presented before the people went to the polls, was perhaps THE MOST UNFAIR MOVE in all the rotten history of Illinois feudist politics. "The opening statement to the jury of James H. Wilkerson, attorney for the Chicago Surface Lines, cannot now come in time to be a campaign document for the anti-Small forces in the battle for control of the Legislature, but the corporation crowd without doubt will resort to every species of camouflage, abuse and misrepresentation. "In this political crisis the cause of popular government rests with the sound judgment and clear understanding of the people. "This newspaper will do its part in making the issue clear in Illinois and reiterates its confidence in the FAIRNESS AND INTELLIGENCE of the electorate at large." WASHINGTON, D. C.

Everything indicates that intelligent colored people of Washington are turning interested eyes upon the child of the alley and gutter, realizing that they cannot afford to allow the neglected children to be sacrificed, for they and not the unfortunate few make up the rank and file of future Negro citizenry. It is hoped that this movement will spread and that cities not having colored policewomen will ask for them. The peace, order and welfare of he entire race in the future depends upon what is done for Negro children now.-Alice Ward Smith in the Southern Workman.

There is only one way to cure cartarrh 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.

Sec Mirror in Man'a Hat A man can manage somehow to get along without a powder rag, but there are occasions when he does need a mirror and a comb for emergency use. To meet this demand, Gustav Peszernack, of Trenton, N. J., has contrived a holder for both articles which may be conveniently fastened inside of a hat. It is sewn in, being made of cloth, a rectangular piece of which is attached to the inside of the hat by snap fasteners at the corners. This makes the back of the holder; the front is provided by a second piece, of like size, secured to the first one by stitching. The two thus form a pocket. A horizontal line of stitching divides the pocket into two compartments, an upper one to receive the mirror and a lower one to hold the comb. One end of the pocket is left open to permit insertion of comb and glass. A glidable catch engaging the end tooth of the comb retains it in place, and the safety of the mirror is obtained by a flap which snap fastens over it. Woman in Finland. Woman in Finland enjoys almost equal rights with the man. In school she has, in the common instruction with the male youth, opportunity to contend with them and to acquire the same knowledge. After completing the school education almost all vocations are open to her, and she is found in all branches of industry, but especially in business houses, in public offices and similar institutions. She cannot occupy the office of minister, however, and some high appolitive posts. Practically, woman is the equal of man. She has the right of suffrage and she herself is eligible to all elective offices. The Finnish diet actually counts 20 female deputies among its members.—New York Tribune. Ambassadress of the Air. For some time France had a new diplomatic function, that of ambassador of the air. And for that delicate function, for which not every one is fit, a woman, Mile, Adrienne Bolland, has been nominated. This intrepid aviatrix was the first, it will be remembered, who flew over the Cordillera of the Andes. This feat made her famous in South America. This renown incited the French government to accredit Mile. Bolland to the Republic of Argentina, where she will represent France in all matters concerning aviation. Mile, Bolland has left for Buenos Ayres, equipped with all diplomatic powers—New York Tribune. BULL MOOSE MOVES QUIETLY Although taller than an ordinary horse, weighing more than half a ton, and adorned with widespread antlers, the bull moose stalks with ghostly silence through the thickest forests, where man can scarcely move without being betrayed by the loud crackling of dry twigs. In summer the moose loves low-lying, swampy forests, interspread with shallow lakes and sluggish streams. In such places it often wades up to its neck in a lake to feed on succulent water plants, and when reaching to the bottom becomes entirely submerged. These visits to the water are sometimes by day, but usually by night, especially during the season when the calves are young and the horns of the bulls are partly grown. Late in the autumn, with full-grown antlers, the bulls wander through the forests looking for their mates, at times uttering far-reaching cries and calls of defiance to their rivals, and occasionally clashing their horns against the saplings in the exuberance of masterful vigor. Other bulls at times accept the challenge, and hasten to meet the rival for a battle royal. At this season the call of the cow moose also brings the nearest bulls quickly to her side. Hunters take advantage of this, and by imitating the call through a borebark trumpet bring the most aggressive bulls down. OBSERVE EQUALITY IN RINGS Up-to-Date Custom Is for Bride to Equip Man of Her Choice With Wedding Symbol. Custom has decreed that when a man receives from the woman he loves a promise that she will be his wife, he should forthwith buy her a ring. It is an excellent custom, according to the jeweler. Most ancient and modern lovers have observed it, but modern lovers are going one better. Instead of one ring, two are bought, and they are not both for the lady. Jack and Jill together wear the sign of their engagement. Equality of sex in voting and in the eyes of the law is responsible for this new idea, according to the Louisville Courrier-Journal. For, mark you, two pockets bear the strain. No modern, self-respecting Jill would allow her Jack to cater for his own finger. And when the plain gold circlet follows again ring equality is carried It is no new custom for men to wear wedding rings. They have done so for ages. But it is a new idea that they should not have to pay for them. The up-to-date bride insists on doing her share, and buys the ring for her groom, while he purchases the sign of her new estate. Irish Landlord Get Out. Lord Gough, like many another Irish landowner, is leaving his home in the old country. Lough Curta castle in County Galway has lately been dismantled and its fine old contents disposed of. The castle, which stands overlooking the Lough, is wonderfully picturesque. It was built for Lord Gort by Nash himself at a cost of $40,000 and was purchased by the Goughs after the Irish famine of 1847, when the viscount of his day ruined himself in the endeavor to feed his starving tenancy. The present home of the Gorts in the Isle of Wight, East Cowes castle, was built by Nash, who designed it for his own occupation. Another valuable property to go is Sir Hew Hamilton Dalrymple's rom- tic home, Luchle, on the ruins of Tartallon castle, which figures in "Marmion." The property, with a fine acreage, includes the greater part of North Berwick. Sir Hew, it is good to hear, is at least not selling The Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth, which is his.—London Mail. Products of India. The principal agricultural products of India include wheat, rice, oil seeds, cotton, jute, sugar, tobacco and tea. In British India (in 1919,1920), 255,000,000 acres had crops growing on them, about 31 per cent being rice crops; 9 per cent wheat; 38 per cent other pulse and food grains; 7 per cent cotton, jute and other fibers, and 5 per cent oil seeds. Jute cultivation has been very profitable. The mineral products, besides mica, rubles and jade, include salt, the production of which is about 1,891,000 tons. In 1919 the output of coal in India was 22,628,000 tons, nine-tenths of it coming from Bengal, Orissa and Bihar; crude petroleum (chiefly from Burma), 306,000,000 gallons; manganese ore, about 538,000 tons; saltpeter, 18,000 tons; wolfram, 3,577 tons; monazite, 2,024 tons, and gold, which is nearly all from Mysore, about 507,000 ounces. King's Car Now a Hack. The king of the Belgians' automobile, in which King Albert toured the battlefront during the war, is now doing duty as a motor hack at the railway station in Baltimore, says the Washington Star. It has a costly limousine body on a long wheelbase, and the interior, from the velvet covering on the floor to the dome in the roof, is finished in mahogany and oak inlall. The seats are fashioned more like costly furniture than like the usual automobile seat, and are covered with heavy gray whipcorn material. The royal colors that once decorated these coverings have been removed. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE COLORED PEOPLE We wish to say to our people of Massac, County, and the surrounding territory thereto.

We are glad to say that our church is yet alive in Christ with Rev. J. H. Stamps, pastor. Sunday School is at work ready to meet the Institute here on the 24th day of this month. All the workers of the S. S. are invited. The Order of the Eastern Star of this city was visited by the grand lecturer Mrs. C. E. Carter of Centralia. The infant baby of Mr. and Mrs. Armstead Hutchison died Mar. 17. Rev. Emory of the C. M. E. church is visiting his family in St. Louis. Cordie Bell. Reporter The Girl Proposes. The inhabitants of Himla, in the Greek archipelago, are engaged almost entirely in sponge fishing. When a girl desires to marry she waits until she has obtained the number of sponges from the sea that corresponds with the number of years she has lived. These she places in a silk net, which she presents to the man of her choice. Should he refuse, his chances of obtaining another bride are remote, as usually the Himian maidens shun him as a punishment. Invention of Cut Sugar. Pressed glass was invented by an amble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Bohemian glass-maker conceived the idea of making out glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figures as he chose. A CALL Evauston, Ill., Mar. 10, 1922 My dear co-worker: It is the desire of the President of the State-Sunday School Convention, (Bro. J. Ward Greer, that I remind you and your Sunday-School that the 2nd Annual Session convenes at Ebenezer Baptist Church (of which Dr. C. H.

With the rapid development of labor-saving methods, the coal miner, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine, is being transformed into a keen-eyed operator of a powerful machine which not only mines and loads the coal, but does it in a safer and more economical manner; safer, because the coal is broken down without the use of explosives which tend to shatter the roof and make it dangerous; and more economical, because it produces more lump coal and fewer fines, and does it more rapidly. One machine developed for this work consists of an undercutting frame with cutter chain and a shearing frame on each side of the machine, in the undercutting frame is a conveyor. There is provided a powerful ram which breaks down the coal onto the conveyor. This ram can be directed at any height of the coal face. The machine is mounted in a pan and fed forward by means of a steel rope. When the cut has been made, the machine is pulled back in the pan by means of a rope; then this rope is hooked over a sheave on the forward side of the machine and the eye fastened to a jack at the face of the opposite rib. By this means the machine is pulled sideways the width of the cut. This requires about three minutes. The machine is then ready to take another cut. The machine can be used in combination with a movable storage hopper provided with a loading conveyor. By this system the machine operates continuously during the time the loaded mine car is being removed and replaced by an empty one. NEW YORKERS' LATEST SLANG Word "Qualit" Has Found Much Favor Among Those Who Affect The Artistic Life. "Quaint" is the latest word of the world that must have a new and uncommon adjective. It has quite outmoded "amusing" in the slang of the studios and among those who affect the artistic life. The dictionary meaning of the word—"combining an antique appearance with a pleasing oddity, fancifulness, or whimsicalness"—has been quite submerged in the passing craze for its use. When the governor's daughter in "The Tavern" said to the vagabond, "You are the quintest man I ever knew" she did not really mean what the dictionary says the word means. She was admiring his powers of deduction. But the "latest" word had been worked into the speech and that was the desired thing. The tone always used in connection with "quaint" is patronizing, whether it is applied to a human being, a picture, or what not. The user—invariably tries to give the impression that the object thus passed upon could have been done ever so much better if be, or she, had had a hand in making it. To be "quaint" nowadays is to be ever so slightly damned—New York Herald. Human Factor Counts. Lord Teigumouth, in a letter to the London Times, writes: "In the controversy between the advocates of battle or surface ships and admirers of the submarine, one factor, and that a very important one, has been altogether ignored—namely, the human factor. Ships are built to carry human beings; and, as far as present statistics enable one to judge, no submersible vessel has yet been constructed in which men can live for more than a few weeks, continuously, without deteriorating, mentally and physically, owing to the abnormal conditions prevailing on board. Man is an adaptable creature, and possibly, in the course of a century or so, a race of human beings may be evolved which can exist, comfortably, without fresh air, exercise or change of scene. In the meantime, surface ships will be voted the most habitable. Doctor Johnson must surely have had a U-boat in mind when he declared that 'being in a ship is being in jail, with the chance of being drowned.'" Fur Industry. Up to within a century of the present time, raw furs were one of the most important products of this country, commercially speaking. Imense quantities of them were exported to Europe, where they were dressed, dyed and manufactured into garments. This natural resource has been largely destroyed by the killing off of our fur-bearing animals. At the present time we are largely dependent upon foreign countries for supplies of skins. Within recent years a great fur-dyeing and manufacturing industry has been built up in the United States, employing 18,000 operatives. We now import annually raw skins valued at $69,000,000, and of dressed skins only $4,000,000 worth. Community Cars in Japan Community Cars in Japan. The community motorcar, owned jointly by 200 would-be motorists, is the latest thing in Japan. Fifty-five American cars have been sold by a recently organized Japanese company to 11,000 owners, each of whom paid $10 for his share in one of the cars. In return for his $10 the owner received a year's interest in the car. The year is divided into days and hours, and the specific time is allotted for each stockholder to ride. The hours have been so arranged that four people go riding with the driver during each period.

Special Club-Raisers' Rates As in former years, the Globe-Democrat is making a special club-raisers' rate, reduced from the regular rates when three or more yearly subscriptions, by mail are sent at one time. The club raisers' rate now in force is $15.75 net for a club of three yearly subscriptions to the Daily (only) Globe-Democrat, or $23.25 for a club of three yearly Daily and Sunday Globe-Democrat subscriptions. This reduces the price to each club member to $5.25 for Daily and $7.75 for the Daily and Sunday Globe-Democrat. More than three subscriptions can be included in a club, at the same club raisers' rates. former years, the Globe-Democrat is making raisers' rate, reduced from the regular rates w the yearly subscriptions, by mail are sent at club raisers' rate now in force is $15.75 new yearly subscriptions to the Daily (only) Globe $23.25 for a club of three yearly Daily and $7.75 democrat subscriptions.
