The Low Spread Spreader
Will Appeal To You
EVERY detail in the construction of the Low
Spread manure spreader, you will be certain
when you have examined the spreader, was designed be
cause it increased the efficiency, the strength, or the
simplicity of the machine;
Thus, it is built low only waist high to save you a vast amount
of energy. It is built of best steel, except for box sides, apron slats,
etc., to make it stand all strain and all loads for years. The end gate
to keep the beater from clogging, the heavy steel rear axle, the shields
to cover working mechanism, the extra strong beater and apron drive
mechanism, all tend to give you many years of perfect service.
But you cannot really appreciate the features that have built op
Low Spread reputation until you go over the spreader yourself. Come
in and examine it as thoroughly as you like.

Possibility of Swiss System
Being Used in United States
By William G. Shepherd
(Cnited Press Staff Correspondent)
Berne, May !5. The average Swiss
man is better physically and as x sol
dier than the average American male,
thanks to the system of compulsory
military training in .Switzerland.
(jet's under the hide, a dtatement
like this, but it's true.
Every male Swiss can shoot slraight
er, run longer, march firther and en
dure more than the averago male
American. You havo only to know
what the Swiss is taught, to do and
what the average Amiicaui isn't
I taught to do to realize that this is
true.
Every Swiss school boy must go to
a gymnasium. , Every Swiss school
must have, a gymnasium. It does'nt
matter whether it's a church school
or a business college or a fancy, high
priced school for little Swiss Lord
Fauntleroys; it must have a gymna
sium. In this gymnasium must be taught
daily, certain exercises prescribed by
the government.
The average American doesn't even
know what, these exercises are.
Now and then, it is true, after he's
fattening up at thirty, the American
answers an advertisement and pur
chases some alleged scientific physical
culture book and follows the instruc
tions therein.
Any Swiss school boy of ten could
teach him a world of valuable things
in this line.
TRY SALEM FIRST
4LVM COUMtaCIAL CLUB
By the time a Swiss school hoy is
twenty he has developed his physique
to its high iKint.
lie has made his body as fine and
strong as his particular body can be
maic.
Tiiis has been done scientifically
and meanwhile, the call of his splendid
muscles has driven him to football and
other sports.
That crowded Polo grounds in New
York makes you sick, when yog look
over these Swiss. You couldn 't get
10,000 healthy Swiss to sit around of an
afternoon watching other men play a
game. Each man wants to play him
self. Hundreds of little sport centers
are always ousy.
That cheering grandstand at the Polo
grounds filled with men that couldn't
run to first base without puffing, is a
disgusting thought, here m the war
country.
Anything in the world is better than
that. Any pacifist must admit that
even learning how to shoot, out in the
country learning how to shoot with
the intention of killing an enemy some
day if you have to is better than the
average American s silly mental par
ticipation in baseball. Or, if you're too
much ot a baseball fan, make it kelly
pool.
The average Swiss boy can out shoot
the average American boy.
r The Swiss boy belongs to a rifle club
in his neighborhood. The club is sup
ported by the community. His shoot
ing costs him nothing.
Let an American boy get the idea
that he wants to be a sharpshooter.
Where can he learn
Where, in most cases, will he find
the money to buy his rifle and ammuni
tion? .
Uich American boys, true enough,
have opportunity to learn the art of
shooting. Good shooting is among the
accomplishments of almost every rich
American youth.
Hut the afer.igc American Ijov, no
matter how deeply he may be stirred
by his desire to learn how to defend
himself and his country in war, is with
out a chance unless he later in life de
velops political or social ambition, and
goes into the state militia.
In his shooting, as in his physical
training, the Swiss youth finds a world
of fun. There are shooting matches in
various neighborhood!.
Finally, the champions of a canton
are weeded out. They shoot against
each other in semi finals and every
year at licrne there is a great national
shooting mat. h that draws throngs of
husky shooting men from every corner
of the little country.
Warlike sports, says the pacifist.
Yes, but it's a sport that keep
Switzerland from war. And heseball
and cricket never kept any country
from war.
(Article Xo. 5 will dcil with the
democracy of the Swiss army.)

Salaries of Commissioners
and Widows Pensions Are
Both Jolted
At the meeting of the Taxpayers'
league lield Wednesday evening at the
i eourt house, Joseph H. Albei t presiding,
, Judge r. H. D'Arrv, Judge W. M.
Bushey and Senator A. M. I.aFollette
were called on to tell of the state meet
ing of the league which they recently
attended in Portland.
The amount of money paid to the va
rious commissions was too much, ac
cording to Judge D'Arcy. Jf embers at
j tending the state meeting felt that
; many men on the commissions were
; paid' from $3,000 to $4,000 a year who
i could not earn half that amount in
other occupations. Judge D'Arcy said
that a resolution was puffier! favoring a
taxpayers' lobby at the coming legisla
I tnre. As all those interested in increas
ing their salaries, as well as other sue-
cial interests had lobbies, why not the
taxpayers i
Incidentally, the judge said that the
only lobbving he ever did was when he
anpeared before the legislature and ask
ed that he and a few of his friends be
reimbursed for the money paid in the
purchase of 12 acres at Champoeg. The
state already owned three acres, and as
a patriotic act, the additional 12 had
been purchased. The money was refund
ed amounting to $1.2(15.
"I do not believe in these pensions."
said Judge D'Arcy. "'When people
accept pensions, they arc In a condi
tion of pauperism. Jleans of labor
would be more felf respecting. We are
building up a spirit of pauperism with
the present system o'i pensions."
"At first, the only way to be safe
from n law suit was to pay every
widow's pension bill th t came along."
said Judge Bushey, "When the bill fnl
widows' pensions first came up, wo

Eat Less Meat If You Feci
Backachy or Have Bladder
Trouble Take Glass
of Salts
No man or woman who eats meet
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Heat forms
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become over-worked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
the waste and poisons from tho blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheuma
tism, headaches, liver trouble, nervous
ness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary
disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
Tho moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if the
urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of ,liid Salts from any pharmacy; tako
a fablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast and in a few days your
kidneys will act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
flush and stimulate the kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urino so it no
longer causes irritation, thus ending
bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-wnter drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.
oral widows pensions, the judge said
that often children were left money,
but that they would not receive it un
til of age. In the meantime, the county
was expected to bring up the children,
although when they become-of age ihey
would receive money left by their fath
er. We need a strong lobby of intel
ligent men from different parts of the
state, that will investigate every bill.
So many bills are introduced that no
man can investigate all of them."
At the Portland meeting, it developed
that 00 per cent of tho cost of the Pa
cific highway was paid by Portland.
C. E. Spenec, master of state granges,
was in favor of more market roads.
During the past year, according to
Judge Bushey, $2o,OoU had been paid
on the poor account by Marion county.
Half of this was for the widows' pen
sions.' liight years ago, tho poor ac
count was only $7,500, und unless some
thing wus done to relieve the counly,
the poor account would soon run far be
yond the $25,000 of Inst year.
Senator A. If. I.a Follettc, who also
attended the state meeting, declared
that Oregon was taxed more than any.
state in the union, and he had the fig
ures to prove it. In 1!I02, the per capita
tax in Oregon was only $11.4.1, while in
1913 it was $:i(l.50. he net bonde
indebtedness of the state, according t
the senator, is now $n, while in 1002 it
was $20.11, and in 1S!)0, only $7.90.
While the population ot the state is in
creasing at the rate of 7 1-2 per cent,
tne ad vnlorum taxes have increased 37
per cent.
As to the industrial condition in the
state, Senator I.a Follette referred to a
friend of his who intended to establish
a cannery, but changed his mind after
taking note of our labor laws. He re
ferred also to the Oregon Packing com
pany whose mnnnger was fined for vio
lating the labor laws during the rush
of the canning season, when he hud h
house full of fruit that needed immedi
ate attention, This nrm quit Oregon,
said the senator, and moved to Wash
