FARM PROBLEMS TODAY BIGGEST IN HISTORY Fountain County Farmers Hear Address by Earl Crawford. HIGHWAYS AND TAXES Special to The Times. KINGMAN, Ind., Feb. 18.—Addressing a meeting of the Fountain County Farm Federation here this afternoon Earl Crawford, member of the State highway commission, declared the farmer's problem today is the biggest one in the history of agriculture, because he is confronted with the stupendous task of paving his debts—public and private —with half-priced products. ‘•ln the last few years we all spent money like a crew of drunken sailors on shore leave. We paid personal bills with notes and they are now due. We paid for public improvements with bond Issues that now must be reckoned with. Strict, economy in expenditure of all public monies as well as in personal life must be followed and then we are sure to come out on top.” he declared. CAUSES OF PRESENT DIFFICULTIES. The speaker charged out present difficulties was due to inheritance, in a way. because farmers as a rule sidestepped and temporized with important questions affecting agriculture and affairs of State. This seed of indecision and inactivity has brought the Nation a harvest of trouble, he said. He pointed out that in raising livestock and crops we long ago learned that like begets like, and that as we sow we also shall reap. Cognizant of this law of nature and man. it seems that we forget it is applicable in our cltlc, social and political affairs, he said. Mr. Crawford said no one individually was to blame for this condition but collectively we all, in a measure, are responsible. “We are paying the price for the folly of unrestricted spending and several pears of unprecedented prices, because farmers, representing 40 per cent of the country’s population, failed to make concerted effort to exercise their best Judgment on many important questions and to exert their best influence upon civic affairs.” RESPONSIBILITY FOR HIGH TAXES. Speaking of taxes he declared that if the people had thought as much about them some time ago as we are talking about them now, they would never have permitted the wild orgy of spending for improvements, a circumstance directly responsible for higher taxes now. The time to think intelligently about our expenditures is when debts are contracted, not when the bills are presented for payment, he said. Mr. Crawford declared the matter of following Governor McCray’s policy as regards the work of the State highway commission was strictly a business proposition and was being conducted as such. ‘ The Governor and the commission are working in complete harmony to handle the affairs in the interests of taxpayers, and to build and maintain modern roads at least possible expense. Our overhead this year is less than 3V& per cent, and the fact that we are besieged with requests from all parts of the State to take more roads into the State system makes us believe that the results we are obtaining are satisfactory.” WORK OF HIGHWAY COMMISSION. He said that the State highway commission is paying for all improvements as work progresses. “We know Just how much money we have to spend and we are trying, and we believe we are succeeding, in obtaining value received for every dollar expended. The installment plan has no place in our work, for we pay as we go, and if we feel we cannot afford it on that basis we assume we can’t afford It at ail. For that reason wo had a very modest program dur ing last year, centralizing on maintenance and completion of contracts previously let rather than awarding new construction contracts.” Mr. Crawford explained that Indiana is to be congratulated- upon its construction which does not permit bondtNto be issued against the State for road work—a condition existent in some States where elaborate and costly road building programs are in progress. These States, he said, go ahead and build with money from bond issues which necessarily must be taken up later on. Hoosier roads are repaired, built and maintained, but payment is made on completion of the work.

IS. — Reports {hat le Valera Miiq>orl(*rs were seeking funds hi the United States'to combat the Col-iins-Griffiths policies in Ireland prompts one strong pro-Irish official to protest against the iirospect of lieinpr asked to contribute to two groups in Ireland. Ho says: ‘I have been kicking In for the Irish fund for fifty years and I hope they won't ask me now to subscribe to two Irish funds.” There is a quite a fend on among the female members of the Senate clerical staffs. It is proposed to give women committee clerks the privilege of the Senate floor. Some Senators object. They contend against s’ich an invasion. They prefer to leave well enough alone. They fear to borrow trouble. Some of the women contend, however, the real objection is due to the flappers of the Senate office building whose appearance on the Senate floor would give a pronounced Greenwich Village flavor to (he picture. It is not advisable to print the retorts. It does not happen often that legislation urged by the Harding Administration encounters defat through the vores of such Senators as Edge, Newberry. Moses, Keyes Poindexter, Sterling and Bali, but it was their votes which spelled doom for the Hoover public works measure. The irrespressible "Pat” Harrison or Mississippi is never happier than when bantering Senator Medlil McCormick of Illinois. His latest thrust bears on sh fact that newspapers relegated Mr. M Cormick's political speech of this we. to the inside pages to play up the Boston address of Senator Lodge. Harrisoi contended such crossing of wires was deplorable. Frequent comment on Increased importation of liquor from the Kingdom during the past year has drawn a rise from Prohibition Commissioner Haynes. Importation figures mean little, he said. It Is consumption figures that count, as most of the imported whisky never has been withdrawn from customs warehouses.—Copright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

Is this the Third Influenza Wave? Is the type of heavy cold now prevalent a true Influenza? Doctors disagree. It will be remembered that after the terrible epidemics of 1918 and 1919, It was predicted that “waves” of influenza would recur, milder each time, until humanity should have acquired Immunity against the disease. Science has not yet found the germ, nor medicine the cure. But we have learned better how to avoid influenza, grip and pneumonia. The value of Vicks ss an aid in preventing these diseases is explained below.

A void Influenza— Grip—-Pneumonia Apply Vicks to help avoid infection. Use Vicks at the first sign of an oncoming cold.

TV/TOST medical authorities now f A agree that Colds, Grip, Influenza and Pneumonia are all germ diseases —most commonly spread by breathing in the germs. If the system is in good shape—the membrane of the air passages in a healthy condition these germs do not breed. In fact the germs of all of these diseases are frequently found in perfectly healthy persons. It is only when the bodily resistance is lowered—as by a cold for instance—that they are able to harm us. Avoid Sneezer* and Cougher* It is best to keep away from the sneezers and coughers in the street cars and public places, or ts you must meet them. insert some Vicks in the nostrils before you start out. On returning home, melt a little Vicks in a tin cup or a spoon and inhale the vapors. Opposed to Bacteria The ingredients of Vicks are not only antiseptic, but rubefacient—that is. they summon the blood to the tissues where applied and this free blood circulation is nature’s best method of repelling germ infection. Also Vicks spreads a protective film over the membrane and furthermore is opposed to the growth of bacteria. In short, we believe you have a much better chance to avoid infection by these numerous germs if you have Vicks in your nose.

Adopt the DIRECT treatment for all cold troubles ABSORBED, like a liniment, and, at the same time, INHALED, as a vapor, Vicks reaches immediately the congested, inflamed air passages. Three Sizes: 35c; 75c; $1.50

Nuns Save 100 Children in Battle With Flames Cool-Headed Work Prevents Panic in Chicago Orphanage Fire.

CHICAGO, Feb. IS.—Heroic work by a group of nuns during a fire at the Home for Friendless here was credited today with saving lives of one hundred children inmates and preventing heavy damage. The children, all under twelve years of age, were being tucked into bed on the third floor of the home when the Sister Superior noticed heavy smoke coming from the attic. Prayers of the last curly-headed tot to reach the dormitory were interrupted as the nun informed the children they were going to have an unusual treat—they were going to be allowed to go outside and play again for a short time before going to sleep. Concealing her agitation from the children. the gister summoned one squad of half-dozen' nuns and directed them to get the children dressed quickly and out of the building. The other half dozen

NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Treating ts over in the subway. You cannot treat your friend to a ride without mutual embarrassment since the installation of the au tomatic gates. Who would hand over a nickel? Who would take a nickel? The result is that everybody digs for himself and “nickels it” alone, even the ladles, bless them. The noise of the automatic gates when they are in action suggests the antiaircraft artillery of the West Front during the World War.

Attack a Cold Immediately When you feel a cold coming on, go right home. Take a laxative. Make some hot lemonade, then take a hot bath —as hot as you can stand. Stay in the tub 30 minutes, sipping slowly several glasses of the lemonade. Get into lied, with a hot water bottle at your feet, and pile on blankets. After an hour’s sweat, dry thoroughly with a rough towel, apply Vicks over throat and chest, rub in well until the skin is red, and then spread on thickly and cover with one or two thicknesses of hot flannel cloth. Get into bed again between dry sheets. Leave the bedclothing loose about the neck, like a funnel, so that the rising vapors may be freely inhaled. It i3 an obstinate cold, indeed, that will resist such treatment. If it does, call a physician. Act* Two Way* At Once Vicks is of benefit in cold troubles in two ways. Ist—lt is absorbed thru.and stimulates the skin, thus helping to relieve the soreness, loosen the phlegm and make the breathing less difficult. 2nd—At the same time the ingredients, released as vapors by the body heat, are taken with each breath directly into the congested, inflamed air passages.

Smaller children who had been put to sleep 4-arlier in the night were carried out through the smoke-filled’ halls by the Sisters without being awakened. They were taken to nearby homes. The children dressed silently and without confusion and hurried out. They considered it a lurk. Flames burst through the eeling as the last or the children were carried to safety, the Sisters working with wet towels around their faces to protset them from the heat and smoke. Although an immediate call to the fire department had \been sent in, by the time the first apparatus arrived sisters had the fire extinguished. Working bravely, they chopped the floors and ceiling to reach the flames. Facing the scorching heat without flinching, they poured the chemicals on the blaze and checked it with a loss of $5,000.

Vicks really is “a vapor lamp in salve form.” The Ingredient* of Vicks Since the dawn of history mankind has been searching nature for remedies against cold troubles. The know ledge gained thru a thousand years has come down to us today. Vicks contains the best known remedies for these troubles, some of them of great antiquity. Menthol, for instance, comes from Oil of Peppermint which was grown in Egypt three thousand years ago and whose virtues are described in the old Icelandic books of the 13th century. The highest authority on drugs and their usee is the U. S. Dispensatory. We give Mow a few extracts from the Dispensatory on some of the ingredients in Vicks. y MENTHOL—"It is actively anti-bacterial. It is employed for its antiseptic and anaesthetic influence in coryza, pharyngitis and laryngitis.” CAMPHOR —" Has a peculiar and ageeablt effect on the mucous membrane—relieves cor.gestion and inflammation —is a powerful stimulant to th respiratory centers."
