An ideal citizen is the one who sees clearly and ever something good in the city and never loses the opportunity to spread that good news abroad that others might derive the benefits therefrom, whose unselfishness prompts him to want others to share opportunities, health and pleasure which his home city offers. Lpyalty is the first requisite for the ideal citizen. The love for the place , arid his neighbor which dismisses the the thought of self interest of policy and resolves itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all in his power to make the city a better place in which to live. There are three distinct attitudes which a citizen may assume toward the, place in which he lives, which furnishes him food, shelter and association for himself and family, to boost to remain quiet or to knock. The booster is that ideal citizen who is never forgetful of the obligations which is due the home city. He is ever found at the front when any movement is launched which might tend to the advancement of the interest of the city. While others see darkly, to him good is visible at all times. The quiet citizen issatisfied to let the neighbor do the work and content to lull the city asleep and let it rest. The knocker is the man who is without a country. There's no room for him anywhere, his presence dampens the enthusiasm of every man or group of men who unfortunately come in contact with him. Having no faith in his own ability to go forward, he naturally lacks faith in his home city to do so. You have the chance to belong to either of the three clases. If you are a booster, your neighbor kows it well and will boost you. If you are alligned with the quiet class, you will not be regarded one way or the other, for the man who selects to steer in the middle of the stream, gets no support from the either side, if unfortunately you Burns Cover with wet baking soda—afterward apply gently — VICKS ▼ Vapoßub Over / 7 Million Jars Used Yearly i 1000 SM j ROOMS Os I Rates K? j ’’ j »ji |I'D Bl) | -npn a 4JI I | A» «* ' JsSpjS I —!

are a koncker, get ready to be knocked, for eventually it is coming to you. As you give, so will it be mteil out to you. SENSIBLE CONSERVATION Good, old-fashioned moralists used to have a precept, "never destroy that which you cannot replace." The upplftutton was usually made to the taking of life, and probably did some good in a humane way. But the saying would be worth considering economically. The people of the United States have been prod igal with natural recources which either they cannot replace easily or which they cannot replace at all. They wasted their forests and left their vast areas of formerly wooded land a pitiful barren, the annual prey of fire, could have replaced the forests, but they didn't. And jiow, according to the reports of the geological experts, they are reaching the end of the oil supply. At the same time they are making the greater part of their industrial and economic structure daily more dependent upon petroleum and its products. In view of this opposition to the proposed reduction of navy fuel oil consumption seems rather absurd. The saving proposed directly by reduction in the appropriation amounts to $6,000,000, not an insignificant sum. But the greater importance of the proposal lies in conservation of the oil supply. The world applauded when Secretary Hughes proposed scrapping a lot of big ships. It is quite in line with that to stop wasting the world's oil supply under the boilers of fighting ships. The suply is limited. It can never be replaced. It would be fine business for another world conference to restrict by agreement the ruthless waste of oil in ships of use only in case of war. Hon. E. B. McDowell, now of Hartford City, but a former resident of this city, has announced as a candidate for representative from the counties of Blackford and Wells, the district formerly represented by Jerry Cronin. The last session of the legislature changed this district to be composed of Adams and Wells counties, as it did several other districts, but suit has been brought to set aside the action of the legislative body, and a lower court has held that the law is unconstitutional. The case is now in the state supreme court, with an equal chance of the law, being held not good. Inasmuch as there is contention over the law Attorney General Lesh has advised that nomi nees file in both the new and the old districts. Mr. McDowell files under this instruction, and if the supreme court holds the law invalid, he will be the regular nominee of the democratic party, and Mr. Gottschalk, who has filed as a candidate for the counties of Wells and Adams would become the candidate for Adams county alone. Mr. McDowell served two terms in the Indiana legislature from this county and made a good record, and should the fates hold that he should be the nominee he will receive a hearty vote from his old county. —Bluffton Banner. Teachers of Adams county deserve congratulations on the splendid showing made by the boys and girls in the big county spelling match held here last night, requiring more than three hours to select the winner, Miss Marie Burdg of Geneva, who has a right to feel very proud indeed of her distinction. Spelling is one of the most important subjects taught in school for it has much to do with whatever vocation is decided upon. The interest manifested was inspiring and encouraging and the event was one of the most successful ever held in the county. An entire ticket of women candi dates was defeated at an election in an lowa town. Ther sisters saw to it that they did not got the opportunity to be stuck up over holding a little office. Congress has a bill beforcit providing for the purchase of a collection of butterflies. How would it be for congress to adjourn and go out and catch a collection Some of the district do not know whether their congressman is again a candidate because they have forgotten who he is.

A THIRD PARTY' Claiming to Have Many Millions of Supporters Entered the Arena Today. LABOR AND FARMERS Said to be Back of the Move — Will Support the Miners in Strike. (By Paul R. Mallon, United Press staff correspondent) aWshlngton, April I—(Special to Daily Democrat)—A powerful third party — purporting to represent 23,000,000 workers and 10,000,000 farmers in the United States—entered the national political arena hero today. The definite decision to form the r.ew party as the great coal strike begins is regarded here as most significant. The 600,000 miners, now quitting work through the country, have joined hands with the railroad workers and farmers to form the backbone of the new organization, Fred C. Howe, secretary of the national committee, told the United Press. 1,11 11 "■ The People’s Voice WE WANTED A CHANGE We were getting a dollar, six-bits for our corn, We could sell every hide from the hoof to the horn — We wanted a change and we got it. Now we're getting a quarter for corn. It's so cheap That we burn it for fuel, our toes to keep. We can t sell the hides, so we bury them deep— But we wanted a change and we got it. The poor working man pulled down eight buck a day. Now he's darned glad to work for half of that pay— But he wanted a change and he got it There was work and plenty for every man's son. And warm food and shelter when that work was done. Now millions are idle, heretofore there , was none— But we wanted a change and we got it. Mr. Wilson spend quite a long time "over there,” For peace he was fighting, but what did we care — We wanted a change and we got it. Now all that we read is of golf and vacations. Gay week-ends at summer resorts and plantations; Not what we expected from the head of a nation — But we wanted a change and we got it. We were prosperous and happy, well fed and gay, Now millions of children go hungry each day— We wanted a change and we got it. Meantime we hear this: It was certain to come — Reaction from war time, “and war three years done. If we wanted a lemon we sure did pick one — But we wanted a change and we got it. —printed by request. AN OLD MANAGER SPEAKS I've handled a pick and a shovel, I’ve sat at a bench in my time, I've done heavy work in the heat and the murk, I’ve known all the sweat and the grime; And so, when some frosty-eyed expert Talks “Labor” as if it were coal, “A commodity”—well, I just choke for a spell Before I regain my control. Plague take all this dope economic That plate human toil in its charts, I tell you that “Labor's” your friends and your neighbors. It's Folks that have bodies and hearts; It's fathers and brothers and husbands. With mothers and sweethearts and wives, Who love and who hate, and who dream and who wait, It's real people living their lives. Now maybe I'm inoss-backed and rusty, But here's how it lines up to me: Statistics will aid in the plans you havp made. They’re useful to quite a degree, But all or your lore scientific Will fall down again and again, Unless in' your brain this one fact you retain That “Labor” means flesh-arid blood Men. V r « - ’•«/ < ‘ '-t , » In brief, if's a problem that’s Human, No soulless “commodity” stuff. And the very best plan I have happened to scan Is just to be human enough; And when it is finally settled ( fear I won't be here by then) It won’t be by art of a book or a chart But by men dealing fairly with men —Berton Braley, in Forbes Mag. s—s—s— WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s

The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled wtih uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys , will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of graps.and lemon juice, combined'with llthia, and has been Used .for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot injuixj. makes a delightful effervescent lith la-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody tan makei a mistake by having a good kidney flushing -any time. 1

The Coal Miners Have Quit Work (Continued from page one) the house labor committee in Washington investigating the suspension. Thousands of non-union workers were reported to have joined the suspension. We have tried to bring the mine owners into wage conference —now we’re going to fight,” Lewis declared. Fifteen hundred mines in the open shop fields were feverishly heaving coal above the ground to augment the nation's 65,000,000 ton reserve. This surplus and the non-union production will enable the country to endure a strike of at least six weeks without feeling the pinch of a fuel shortage, possibly longer. Lewis conferred frequently during the last two days with Secretarytreasurer William E. Green and district union chiefs. Trying to devise some means to budge eastern operators from their opposition toward interstate wage negotiations. They al£> discussed the attitude of the federal and state governments. The officers are known to resent bitterly the apparent willingness to use troops and state constabulary to put down the strike. There is no disorder in sight among the coal miners nor is any violence threatened,” Green said. “The mine owners are the only ones who have committee violence. They did so by violating their contract calling for interstate wage negotiations.” By Herbert W. Walker lulled Frew Stall Corri-spun.lcnt Washington, April I.—(Cpecial to Daily Democrat)—With a nationwide strike on in full swing today, president Harding faces the first big domestic crisis of his administration. Believeing that he has done everything possible to prevent the walkout, the president now’ has one thought uppermost in his mind—there shall be no violence. o— A British company claims that it has developed a process for treating chalk with a carbon bearing substance so that a valuable fuel results. o ■ — DON.T DISREGARD A COLD Foley's Honey and Tar will check a cold if taken in time, and will also stop a cough of long standing.

Two botles broke a most ! stubborn lingering cough." It loosens i phlegm and mucus, eases hoarseness, stops tickling throat, helps “flu” and • grip coughs.
