' Before the senate investigating committee, Dudley. S. Blossom, one of the leaders in the Cleveland fund-raising drive for the republican national committee testified that the Cuyahoga county quota was fixed at $400,000 as stated by Governor Cox, although the testimony of Fred W. Up- ham, republican national treasurer, testified that the goal j tor the entire state ot unio was $iuu,uuu. C. W. McClure of Atlanta, Georgia, testified that Upham had set a quota for the national committee of $25,000 for Atlanta alone as stated by Cox although Upham testified that the $25,000 was the quota for the state of Georgia. Already enough testimony has been produceed to substanti ate the charges made by Governor Cox as to the huge slush fund being raised to elect Harding, and to discredit the testi mony of the republican chairman and treasurer. Chairman Will Hays testified that his national campaign budget was only $3,000,000. Treasurer Upham who had previously stated that it was $7,500,000, exclusive of state, senatorial and congressional funds, on the stand made his testimony conform more nearly to that of Hays, but sub mitted an "official budget" totaling $4,800,000, or nearly $2,000,000 more than testified to and he admitted additional eonerressional and state funds. Under oath, Treasurer Upham stated that he had received $2,551.50 from Oregon for the party fund. Chairman Tongue of the Oregon state central committee states that he had sent over $20,000 to Upham. Pretty good grounds for Cox's assertion that Hays is a either a perjurer or Upham a liar. "Boys, Get the Money !" is the republican slogan for the campaign and paid workers are getting the money", ac cording to the testimony. When all the "leads" given the senatorial probers by Cox are followed up, the statements of a $15,000,001) slush fund will probably be found substantiated Meanwhile workers can heed the admonition given in the national committee's official bulletin, as follows: "Harding and Coolidge have the confidence of the people, but, Imys, get the money.' The platform is sound enough to hold the weight of the nation, but, boys, get the money. It takes time to organize, but we haven't any more time left; boys, get the money.

Whether it is due to speculators seeking to profiteer or to unsettled financial conditions, the effect on the grower is the same. Buyers have withdrawn from the market, temporarily, because jobbers have ceased to place orders. Ihe reason given is the uncertainty of market conditions. Wholesalers do not care to stock up with high priced commodities on what may prove to be a falling market. But there seems no reason to believe that this condition will be anything but temporary. Dried fruit is advancing, rather then falling. There is a national shortage of apricots and peaches and other dried products and there must be demand for the prune the most nutritious and popular of dried products. There is every indication for a normal demand for the prune at good prices when the pre-election hysteria subsides. Rippling Rhymes Oil I know a dozen men who've won snug fortunes by the route of oil, and their financial cares are done, they do not have to spin or toil. They ride around in limousines, in all the pomp men could desire, and care no hoot how many beans it takes to buy a rubber tire. And when I see them in their pride, my own sad outlook makes me blue; I have a yearn ing pain inside I'll go and buy some oil stock, too. Then I remember countless gents who tackled oil and hoped they'd win, and now they haven't forty cents to buy a stein of prohib gin. I see them sleeping in the park, on benches com fortless and bare, and when they wake some leaves and bark will be their breakfast bill of fare. Where one oil magnate lives in state, and has nine banks on which to draw, a thous and losers rail at fate and say there ought to be a law. And so I buy no oil well stock, nor heed prospectuses sublime; along my humble way I walk, and save a quarter at a time. Love and Married Life Bv the Noted Author IDAH McGLONE GIBSON Is Harding Wet or Dry ? During the consideration of the army bill, Senator Mc- Keller (Tenn.) offered an amendment prohibiting the selling or giving of liquor to officers or enlisted men. Senator Un derwood (Ala.) proposed making this apply to senators and congressmen, frankly explaining that his object was to make the whole thing "ridiculous." Harding voted yea on the Un derwood amendment to the McKellar amendment (April 28, 1917; C. R., 1457). . When the Underwood hoseplay had failed, as of course it did, Harding proposed an amendment authorizing the presi dent to make such regulations governing the prohibition of alcoholic liquors in or near army camps as he deemed advisable. There were several prohibition tests on riders offered as amendments to the espionage act during May, 1917, as follows; . Senator Cummins (Iowa) proposed an amendment pro hibiting the use of any "cereal, grain, sugar or sirup in the production of intoxicating liquor" during the war. It was directly a war measure, intended to conserve the food supply. The "wets" were therefore in a difficult position and they confined their efforts largely to saving beer and wine. In these efforts Harding joined. Senator Wadsworth (N. Y.) tried to amend the Cum mins amendment by making it apply to "spiritous" rather than "intoxicating" liquors. Harding voted yea (C. R., 2190). Senator Reed (Mo.) presented an amendment to prohibit the "sale" of intoxicants. Harding voted nay (C. R., 2191). Senator Weeks (Mass.) wanted to exempt rum used in preparing tobacco. Harding voted yea (C. R. 2192). Senator Gronna (N. D.) presented an amendment to per- 'rnit the redistillation of liquors into alcohol for explosives and industrial purposes. Harding voted nay (C. R., 2194). Harding then voted twice against the Cummins amend ment (C. R., 2196, 2269). The food and fuel control bill, considered in July, 1917, brought forth numerous amendments dealing with the liquor question. Without exception Harding voted with the "wets." Senator Cummins proposed an amendment prohibiting the importation or withdrawal of distilled liquors from bond for beverage purposes. Harding voted nay (C. R., 4751). Senator Robinson (Ark.) offered an amendment pro hibiting the use of food materials in the manufacture of distilled liquors, thus saving beer and wine. Harding voted yea (C. R., 4792). Senator Smoot (Utah) proposed an amendment author izing the president to take over distilled liquors and pay the cost plus ten per cent. Harding voted yea (C. R., 4780). Senator Reed's bone-dry amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, prohibiting the shipment of liquors into dry states, was voted upon in the senate February 15, 1917. Harding dodged this test. He had answered to a previous quorum call that day, but neither responded nor was paired when the Reed amendment was decided (C. R., 3335, 3336). Upon the question of enforcing the eighteenth amend ment, Harding voted to pass the Volstead bill over the rresident's veto (October 28, 1919; C. R., 7633). Before that, however, he had expressed the belief that prohibition could not be enforced, as follows (August 1, 1917; C. R., 5648) : I do not think a prohibition amendment will lie effective. Mr. President. You cannot make any law stronger than the public senti ment which sees to its enforcement. I have watched the progress of n,i- nnr,n frnm the conflict in the hamlet to the municipality, to the country, the state, and the nation, and while I stand here and freely express my doubts about its pracucauuuy, ai me samo nun cuB- nize that it is growing and insistent and persistent ana it must oe settled. . . That is the same kind of logic displayed m several Hard ing speeches and decisions. He did not think that prohibi tion could be effectuated because public sentiment was against it ; yet, in the same paragraph, he pictured that same public sentiment as so "insistent and persistent" that he felt compelled to vote with it.

Solomon Owl and Fatty Coon couldn't help laughing at what Tommy Fox said to them, as they sat in their tree near the farm house, looking down at him in tho moonlight. " "Watch you'll se! "I'm here to watch Farmer Green's chickens for him " said he "to see that no rat or any body else runs away with a pul let." "Farmer Green has someone else watching for him tonight," said Solomon Owl, when he had stop ped laughing. "There's that strange man! You can see how he keeps his glaring eyes fixed on the chicken house. And unless I'm mistaken, he's on the lookout for yon." "No such thing!" Tommy Fox snapped. And he looked up at Solomon as if he wished that he could cllmbthe tree. "Here comes somebody else!" Fatty Coon exclaimed suddenly. His keen eyes had caught sight of Jimmy Rabbit, hopping along on his way to the vegetable garden, to see if he couldn't find a stray cabbage or turnip. Solomon Owl called to him. Whereupon, Jimmy Rabbit prompt ly sat up and looked at the odd trio. If it hadn't been for Tojniny Fox Jie would have drawn nearer. Why Be Afraid of Good Food?

"Well," said Salomon, "won't you kindly speak to him; and ask him to go away?" ..Certainly!" answered Jimmy Rabbit, who always tried to be obliging. "I hope the stranger won't eat him," remarked Tommy jfjx, "be cause I hope to do that some day, myself." It was queer but Jimmy Rabbit was tho only one of the four that wasn't afraid of those glaring fea tures.

Jimmy Rabbit shook his head. "You come over here!" he an Bwereel. And he did not stir from the side of the stranger. He knew very well that Tommy Fox was afraid of the man with the head with the glaring eyes. As for Tommy Fox. he did not even reply that is, to Jimmy Rab bit. But he spoke his mind free ly enough to his two friends in the trae. - ' ! "It otnrht t j em w can't SOIo stranger.. 01 Fatt n. ' hi- mn null.. "The ono tho . U "TW. MI!'

But 1 knew that was not what I was waiting for. because 1 still had that peculiar feeling, which our grandmothers used to call "a goneness in the pit of the stomach." It wasn't nausea, neither was it faint ness, but for all that it was terrible sensation.

State Politics Center Interest Just because the itching and discomfort becomes so in tense, the average person af flicted with skin diseases is led away from the proper ra tional treatment in their anx iety for some measure of re lief from its torture. Mere temporary relief from the riumlng skin irritution should not deter you from seeking its cause and re- moving it. In other words, you should not be content to have only temporary relief from the ter rifying itching and burning of fiery skin diseases. And that is all you can possibly get from the use of salves, ointments, lotions and other local remedies applied to the surface of the skin. Temporary relief will do you but little good if you are a victim of itching eruptions, tetter, rash, eczema or other terrifying skin disorders. Soon all the itching and irri tation will break out afresh with renewed fury, and you should be convinced that no amount of local treatment can possibly rid you of your trouble. Such remedies will doubt from one or two Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets. Relief is usually very prompt. The regular use of these tablets after meals gives the stomach and smal lintestine substantial help to digest food and you will then be bold enough to eat baked beans, fried eggs, sausage. buckwhent cakes and many other things you thought would make your stomach miserable.
