CITY-COUNTRY RIVALRY. Thpre. 13 cr, fict in most American elections which might rmzzle th disinterested outsider. That is the regularity with which urban and rural populations take, directly opporlt tides in many matters up for tli ecr.c iteration of Loth and for d?r!lon by ballot. This apparent cor.Mict is most renounced, of course, in the states in which there are very large urban populations. Hut it Is found to be tru to a 5urpr5sin- extent even in those rtatr-s In Trhlch the chitf cltks ar barely more than tmall towni. There Is romethir.s oddly mistaken in the rr?petiye attitudes which permit tuch a wide divergence of wl5he? and opinion?. It 1 ohvious to any tlncer and thoughtful person that lo-i ition which is for the lr5t Rood of any group of citizens is o only because it Is rit the same tim. for thf be.t good of all. The b!' lndustriil centers and the thinly settled rural sections are mutually dependent upon each other for true prosperity, hcilth and happlnft.. Candidates who are wholly acceptable to on1 croup and distrusted by tho other must stand for narrow and t-t-lfl-sh principles. I5ut it Is not the randidites fault, t'ntil these two bis population groups the rural and the urban arp willing to forego selfish demands and to rubstitute inHtead a wholehearted trut in each othr and a d?lr for cooperation for the benefit of all. this apparent opposition of interest will remain. In the meantime it Is a sad comment on hüman hoit-sUhtfineps.

THE LEGION AND THE BONUS. The American Iion in convention at C!eo!and. O.. has declared for a bonus. The IIon favors the house of representatives bill, whoso important provblrs are: A bonus ir. ca"h or in certificates maturing in 20 yeara on the basis of length of f-ervice. Vocational training. Ail in buying a home or farm. Land settlement. In this latter provision "1 states hav already promised cooperation. It is only reasonable that the men who risked life and health for $3 a m'nth should have pome compensation for their tervire, in consideration of the fact that th men who stayed at home were fattening on hii?h wages and juicy opportunity It is not a matter of giving a man a bonus for serving hi.country. lUing paid for doing his plain duty in the matter of defending his home and peop!.- lias been no part of the Legion's id-a. P.ut some s.rt of compensation which would attemi.t to make less wido the gap in earning power between those who went and those who did not is what the Legion hopes to üecure. The amount necsöary to pay this "adjusted compensation" trrmendous, oven in these years of millions and billions. It will have to come out of the taxes of the whole nation. No matter how just the elaim. the collection of so vas;t a sum will be extrcnnly ditf'.oult. I ithculiies, however, are usually but a spur to the. genius of Young America. Just how it is going to be done, no thoughtful person quite fees at present. Iiut if the boys want tin- bonus, unojicstionr.bly they will g t it. o -CALAMITY" HARDING. Warren O. IIari:r;?r. old guard "dummy" canlidate for the presidency, continues to indulge hiö favorite practice of calamity howlir.g. So well has the senator developed the trait during the. list four years that he "Jest natcherly" falls int., jt very time he makes a fpeceh. ?o here now i? Warren Gamaliel, off the front porch for a jaunt to Wheeling telling an audience that democratic financial management is lea ling the country straight to ruin. The republican party and Mr. Harding, however, have still to establish records an financiers before their talk on the subj et can be taken seriously. Whih it is trae that when it comes to "f.-it fryinc' the raising of campaign slush funds the- g. o. p. N t!e undisputed champion. Its record in financial legislation and in conducting business affairs of the p'lb'.h (ne of the worst. For th" republican part. Tinder which occurred r raetically all the Ilr.anclal panics in the history of th country, to attempt to speak authoritatively on the yubject of public ür.ar.co to th demoeratl? party, producer of the great federal reserve system that has er.dei par.ics. is presumptuous in theextreme. For 4 0 years cr mere th republican party tried to reform an outgrown !-.an.kin system, hut the problem was too much for if. The republican congress has pre', f 1 the most heart-breaking: waste in the history of the country. It has held up peace in a way that not only has cor.tlnuei war pric , but has thrown away American precipe. However, after coming through war hnancing without a tremor and also enduring eight y?ars of bombardment from desperate republican politicians, the government will scarcely gy upon the rock now. Hardir.gV calamity howling now cr.'y

recills how he talked as a defeatist during the "o-ar. In one of the most critical periods and at a time when this country was in the midst of a Liberty loan campaign, Harding hinted he knew somothing that might disturb confidence of the American people in the conduct of the war. When his Innuendoes were, challenged on the floor of the senate, he knew of nothing that even other senator3 hostile to tho administration thought important enough to Investigate. On another occasion he declared that "much ef the sentiment concerning our part in the war is balderdash." It would be a real calamity to the country If a man who spoke of it war sentiment as "balderdash" should be elected to" the presidency. i o FARMER PROFITEERS. The urbanlte who motors to the farmer's door for fruits and vegetables has a right to demand that they r..! old to him at a lower rate than his corner rrrocer Is charging for the same goods delivered at the door. For a long time the farmers have been complaining that the retailer got too much and that the wholesaler or cr mmission man gave them too little. They have raised th- howl of "profiteer" from all the highways and hedges of the country. But when the consumer eliminates all the grasping middlemen :vr.d goes straight to the farmer, what does the farmer do. in nine cases out of ten? He charges the hichei-t retail price that is being asked In town. He telephones in every morning to make sure he knows the top f.gure. He makes no allowance for the timo and expense which he is saved in hauling and tho like, nor for the same expenses Incurred by the motorist. He simply Joins that innumerable caravan whope emblem is the busy bee, and stings tho contA mer. Go into the country and buy fresh produce, by all means! There has been profiteering among middlemen, and it should be chocked. But while you are elimln-.lir.g this evil, demand that the farmer also play fair, and give you at least a slightly lower price than that asked in town. If he refuseä to name a reasonable figure, drive en and buy of one who will. It is not fair to txpect a wholesale price for your retail purchase, but you are entitled to an allowance for your xpens -'s.

Mass.. for the bett grade, i plan for health teaching in the elementary schools. Teachers and health workers from all over tho country submitted plans, the rrlmary object of th" contest being to discover individuals who can contribute new methods for training children in health habits. It has been found that the old way of teaching phypiolopy and hygiene 'does not affect the children's daily habit of living, while an appeal to them through competition, tho game spirit and telf. expression interests them in health habits which result la better physical condition. Miss Spencer's plans are along these lines. It Is a far cry from old. unsanitary schoj! conditions, and from dry-as-dust memorizing of the bones in the, human body, to these modern gamer? of health and physical training, but no road was ever better worth travelling. Miss Spencer's scholarship, including courses of study in great training institutions, is the smallest part of her reward, for every individual who conceives a new or better way to make the child a healthier being makes him a happier one, and so joins that "Choir Invisible, whose music is tho gladness of the world.'

MK. ROOT'S PftnPICAMKXT. (Chlcage Journal.) F.lihu Root was expected :c return and set things right immediately. Men and women sincerely believing in the League of Nations a.s the world's one hope of avoiding war and doubting what Mr. Harding's declarations for a separate peace and a new "association of nations" might mean, were given to understand that Klihu Root would bring the perfect explanation of how Mr. Harding's revamping of the Hague tribunal would load directly to the court which Iloot was helping to plan and which had nothing to do with the Hague tribunal, but was based on the League of Nations. The "campaign strategy" of it was to be that these who believed in a League were to btlic-ve that in voting for Mr. Harding they would be voting for Llihu Root, while those who opposed a League would believe they were voting for Hiram Johnon. Almost daily Mr. Taft labors to show that although Mr. Harding says he is against the League, his election will insure our entering it. The same role is waiting for Mr. Root. And Mr. Root may yet put that tune on. But consider his embarraj-sment. He has been far away from the beaten trail between Marion and the senate chamber. He has been among the ptoples who learned w hat war was. He has felt, as Hoover ft It and YVkkersham felt, the hopelessness of the world unhss something is done to prevent war. His experience has; been e cn greater than theirs, for he has seen the League avoiding the threat of war between Sweden and Finland and halting a war betweenPoland and Lithuania. More than all this Mr. Root has been at work on what h must naturally hope will be the crowning nchievfment of his life a work that will not alone be his chaiest title to remembrance in history, but micht be offered to his makftr as his offering to th service of his fallow men. And this whole work is based on the suce. s of the league of Nations. If Llihu Root should now argue for the election of a candidate who has said again and again that he ci poses th" League of Nations, what kind of commentary would that be on his sincerity in helping to frame a vital part of that League's machinery? Mr. Root may join Mr. Taft in arguing that Mr. Harding should be elected because he is a republican and because he will not be able to defeat the League. He is a parry mar., as he himself has said. Rut is R any wonder that lie hsitut.s, that he is not so prompt as partisans hoped he would be in explaining that a vote for Mr. Harding and : gainst the league will be a vote for Mr. Root's court which i part of the League?

The Tower of Babe! By BILL ARMSTRONG

i visit a Mö.vninAL n.MiniTR. As I am not known in Montreal, I calculated coyly that I could visit a Canadian barber ehop in perfect peace. I entered the barber shop with all confidence. I had purchased a Chicago paper In advance of my visit to be certain of pending a quit period or restful reading while my long, curly hair was being cut and three days growth of .beard was removed. The information was brought to me before hand that all of the barters were French, ppeaking little English, which gave me a lot of courage. Divesting myself of coat and hat I slipped into a chair for 45 minutes of peaceful thouKht and newspaper reading of a more oi less constructive nature tven though paper I held in my hand was printed in Chicago. My nerves were really on edge and I felt the Koriou need of the three quarters of an hour of absolute solitude.

An I removed my coat and hat. the porter, a man born in Athens from all appearances, made a frantic grab at them with the result that the hat rolled and finally landed in the cuspidor and he succeeded in upsetting my coat in such a way that return tickets to South Bend. Ind.. were spilled on the floor, compartment tickets which I had Jus?t purchased at the cost of a suit of clothes fell under the shining stand and my watch was thrown out on the marble floor in such a way that the crystal was quite broke when I finally recovered my composure sufficiently to pick it ur. I apologized profusely for his error to the man from Athens and I was kindly allowed to remain in the barber t-hop. The tickets were returned to me on a ladle dripping wet. and the cashier held onto the crystalless watch, evidently for the purpose of sesjing whether I had the price of the check. I gave the barber a friendly smile and made an effort to enter his chair, intending in my usual timid way to instruct him to cut my hair, not too clos-3, shave me. and let me get out of the thop as soon as possible t To my surprise, the barber Phot out his hand and inquired where I belonged. I thought to myself, why the big cheese what's it to him where I belong. Why phould I conff? that I'm from South Bend? He said: "Oh, I mean. where'H your Blks' lodee? My brother belongs at Krie. Pa."

Though Caeser got a settling punch from Brutus Cassius and their bunch. Their hasty act has always laced Our heartfelt approbation. For Caesar, though ambition rwelt and waxed apace beneath his belt.

LOKI7TTA Loretta should by ri;ht of origin bo spelled Lauretta. Its present accepted form is due to the Italian influence which destroys the rencn "au" and supplies the letter equivalent to its pronunciation. Loretta signifies "laurel," but there is considerable difference of opinion in regard to her source.

Some etymologists believe that it is

taken from the masculine Laurus and that the ladies so railed should consider St. Iaurence as their patron. Others contend that it is taken freun the Greek word laura. meaning avenue., and applied to the clusters of hermitages which eventually formed the nucleus of monasteries. A religious interpretation is that the name Lauretta, was evolved to eomemorate the laurel grove, or loreto, to which the Italians believe the angehs transported the holy houso of Nazareth during the conquest of Palestine. But whatever theory i3 correct. Lauretta made her debut as a feminine name .among the Flemish in 1102. Her next appearance was in tho time of King .John when a daughter of William de Braose, Lord of Bramber, was so called. Alter th.i. the name hme into popular usage throughout Kngland and France. In tho latter country, it is called Laurette. The emerald is Lorttas talismanJc gem. It is the jewel of youth and springtime for Loretta and will bring her the charm that comes from quickened intelligence, and the admiration of others. Wednesday is her lucky day and three her luckv number.

"I am so nervous it seems as though I should fly " "My nep-es are all on edge" "I wish I were dead." Plow often have we heard these expressions or others quite as extravagant from some loved one who has been brought to this state by some fem.il c trouble which has slowly developed until the nerves can no longer stand up under it. No woman should allow herself to drift into this condition without giving that good old-fashioned root and herb remedy Lydia K. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. Read the Letters cf These Two Women.
