Buy Your Fords orv, TRAOE MARK NOW We repeat, Buy fioto. or at least arrange to insure delivery next spring. There will be a serious shortage of FOBVSO /V Tractors. The factory will build one hundred thousand in 1921 and the dealers can sell twice thst many. The Central Sales Co. has been working its territory intensively and KNOWS that it will not be able to supply the demand next spring unless the prospective buyers get in early and literally steal the machines from other territories that are not so wide awake. The regular allottment is too to supply even a small demand. And you farmers who are losing your tractor enthusiasm because of the slump in prices should take a little time off to talk over the situation with us. We can show you that there is a BIG SAVING in power farming with the FOBBSOJi and Associated implements even though prices are declining. We have data compiled by our farmer owners and ourselves on our own farm that proves this assertion. Once you own a FORDSON you will never be without one.

WAR FINANCE CORPORATION

The senate did not seem the day after to be much impressed with the wisdom of its resolution asking for a revival of the war finance corporation in the interest of the farmers. As was suggested yesterday, there does not in truth seem to be much that is constructive about it. Indeed, certain senators # are fearful that it may be destructive, since it may, serve as a precedent that will prove annoying, at least, if other interests should demand state help But the wisest comment on the resolution is that of Senator Nelson of Minnesota. He said that, though the war finance corporation could, if rewived, supply money, it could not change the price of crops or give the farmers a better market. Here is his view: To get better markets we must have a greater demand from abroad. In this country we raise a surplus of agricultural products; our production is much greater than our consumption; we have to get rid of that surplus, and in order to get rid of that surplus we must sell it to advantage to other countries. With the exception of two crops produced in the United States, namely cotton and corn, we come into competition with all the world. There can he no foreign pjarket till law and order are restored in European countries, and they are put In a position where they can buy our products. “They are," said the sen-

S in the YdJoiv Box"

ator, "hard up today,” with no money or credit, and also with a shortage of goods to exchange for our products. None of these things is touched by the senate resolution, and very naturally Senator Nelson feared that it “might prove a disappointment." That is, we think, quite likely. The war finance corporation was devised for the purpose, not of finding markets or establishing prices, but of financing, as far as might be found advisable, establishments engaged in the production or Importation of war materials.

It could advance money to the fanners, but it could not affect the price of crops, as Senator Nelson points out, or solve the problem of markets. Nor would the high duties that are suggested help In any way, since they would tend to shut the farmers up to the already saturated home market, an<J make it still more difficult for foreigners to buy of us. There are Indications that the situation is gradually curing itself. Fresh strength in the wheat market, with advancing prices, was noted in Chicago yesterday, owing, it is said, to the belief that “the period of liquidation in grain was at an end.” Export demands are increasing, and only 15,000,000 bushels of the visible supply is to be found at western tSr minals. Whatever we can do to improve world conditions will *be directly in the interest of the American farmer. Finally, it should be said for Senator Nelson that he realizes the seriousness of the situation, is entirely sympathetic, and prepared to do all that can be done to affcflrd relief.—lndianapolis News.

SEN. NEW IS GIVEN ADVANTAGE

Over Watson In Summoning Him Among “Best Minds.” Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 17. —Presi-dent-elect Warren G. Harding has struck a sore blow to a combination of Republican politicians in Indiana by including Senator Harry S. New among the “best minds in America” called to confer with him at Marion, Ohio. It is not that they resent the fact that Harding has sought counsel from New, but they feel that the apparent favoritism displayed 1 by the president-elect for the senior senator gives him an unfair advantage over Senator James E. Watson. The latter has long been held up by his partisans as having been the staunch friend and confidante of Mr. (JHarding, yet so far as known he has not been summoned to confer with the« president-elect on matters of state like his colleague, Senator New. The fact that New, and not Watson, is closer Jo the throne wilPhave far-reaching effect on Republican affairs in Indiana after March 4. It means that New, who will come up for re-nomination and re-election, will be given the advantage in dispensing federal patronage in Indiana in order to build up his fences. Perhaps it is an adroit maneuver on the part of the senatorial oligarchy to see that their ranks remain unbroken during the Harding regime, but it is difficult to make the Watson supporters see 'the justice of the move, if remark% dropped

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

here may be taken as a criterion of their sentiments. New, as the dispenser of "federal patronage in this state, and backed by an intimate personal friendship with the president, will come perilously near having the Republican organization in the hollow of his hand. If th*l works out, as many leaders believe, it will thwart the plans of Senator Watson and Governor-elect Warren T. McCray to control the organization during the next two years. It will mean that Watson after all his ambitious years to guide the destinies of his. party, will again follow the leadership of another man. Senator Harding’s public protestation of friendship for Senator New is particularly galling to the Watsonites at this time, too. It was the Watson camp that took unto itself the duties of guiding the feeble Harding organization through the primary in Indiana last spring, and no senator jgot more publicity for bringing about the nomination of Harding than did Watson. After all of these heroic endeavors to curry favor with the man who was destined to become president of the United States, it is mighty difficult for the Watson men to look on with complacency while Senator New steps in as the court favorite.

FOUND NOW RIVALS PLIGHT OF BELGIUM

Children Chief Sufferers in Land Stripped of Necessities, Says Relief Worker. Poland is in the destitute state for want of food and clothing among the poor that Belgium would have been during the war, had there been no commission for relief in that country, according to Dr. Vernon Kellogg, American Relief Administration official, who recently returned from Warsaw.. Dr. Kellogg was a member es Mr. Hoover’a staff in Belgium, and at the conclusion of hostiltlea. entered Poland as the Hoover emissary In charge of food relief. He first entered .Poland in 1015, a few months after the German occupation. Hia report of atarvatlon, disease and suffering that existed at that time is one es the most harrowing document! In the records of American relief work overseas. Dr. Kellogg made the following statement regarding the work after the armiatlce: “With Warsaw as our headquarters, we bdfcan operation* in Poland In January, 1919. and within a few weeks there was established a steady Importation of food into that country. Tons and tons of It came from overseas through the Danzig. “It was Impossible to do all that the administration wanted to do, because the need of Pol#hd was too great, but It was agreed that enough food should be sent to Poland to car# for the four million people until the great agricultural districts couW again provide for them. “But In addition to these four million people who so pressingly- needed relief, there was another call for relief from a source that could not be resisted : the children of the land. Many of these were orphans, hungry, emaciated, destitute and diseased. So the American Relief Administration added to Its work by Instituting a system of feeding these children. In a few months a million and a quarter Polish children were getting a free meal- every day of special food prepared to counteract the effects of their previous undernourishment." To finsh the Job eight great organizations have united under the name of the European Relief Council to raise the funds necessary to care for the food needs and the medical needs of the 5,500,000 children of Eastern and Central Europe. These organizations are the American Relief Administration, the American Red Cross, the American Friends Service Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Knights of Columbus, the Y.

GRAY SAMARITANS RESCUING CHILDREN

The Young Women’s Christian Associations of the Ufeited States are keenly interested in the movement for the relief of the 8,500,000 starving children of Europe because a group of their members, the Polish Gray Samaritans, have been in charge of distributing food to children in Poland. They hive been serving under the American Relief administration and have conducted food kitchens and distributing stations in all parts of Poland outside Warsaw. In all the relief work being done in Europe, that of the Polish Grays has been unique because all the girls, though sent from America, were cither horn in Poland or are of Polish parentage. When the need for social service In their country became acute many girls of Polish descent answered the call of the Young Women’s Christian Association for overseas service and enlisted in the preliminary training course that was given In several cities es the United States. From this group thirty girls were chosen and ■Bent to Poland where, sljice 1918, they have been caring for the children of the country. The distribution of clothing has taken them Into all parts of Poland. They are now spending their entire time ip arranging for the feeding of children this winter. .Groups of them travel to strategic centers in outlying districts where they set up distributing stations, receive supplies, prepare meals, arrange for impartial distribution and train helpers to continue the work when they are sent on to the next town.

COLUMBUS KNIGHTS AID CHILD APPEAL

James A. Flaherty, of Philadelphia, supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, declared that the K. of. C., in response to an appeal from Herbert Hoover, chairman of the European Relief Council, had decided to take an exception In their policy of refraining from any national campaign for funds for relief or charitable work. “The need of the starving and sick children of Europe is so urgent,” Mr. Flaherty said, “that the Knights of Columbus feel in duty bound to devote themselves to the common task of raising funds for the relief of these children. An an organization it is our intention to conduct no distinct K. of C. drive for funds, although members of the organization are frequent contributors to all charitable drives. But in this case wo feel that the emergency calls for the united efforts of all Americans and we /Consider it a privilege to have partnership in this great work oi mercy-”

IS I LUCKIEST ■ NT OF HIS lIFE

Says He Spent Six Years Searching for Relief from Rheumatism and Stomach Trouble. "It I had only known 'about Tanlac sooner It would have saved me years of suffering and many a dollar, too," declared C. H. Gray, of 219 North Capitol avenue, Indianapolis, Ind. v “I had been trying for six years," continued Mr. Gray, "to get relief from rheumatism and stomach trouble. 1 had no appetite and what little I did eat gave me indigestion and caused gas to form so bap on my stomach that I would bloat up as tight as a drum and could hardly get my breath. My whole body ached with rheumatism and my-arms and legs became so stiff and sofe I could scarcely get about. 1 was so weak and nervous that I never had»a good night's sleep and would get up in tbe mornings feeling as tired as on going to bed. “I read in the papers about Tanlac and decided to try it. The day 1 bought my first bottle of Tanlac was the luckiest day of my life, for I commenced to improve with the first few doses and now after taking four bottles my appetite has returned and I can eat anything without having a sign of indigestion. The rheumatism has left me entirely, and I sleep like a log every night and get up mornings feeling fine and full of energy. I am more than grateful for what Tanlac has done for me and will always recommend and praise it” Tanlac is sold - in Rensselaer by Larsh & Hopkins, and in Remington by Frank L. Peck; in Wheatfleld by Simon Fendig.—Advt.
