(Advt.y Rupture Kills 7,000 Annually Seven thousand persons each year are laid away—the burial, certificate being marked “Rupture.” Why? Because the unfortunate ones bad neglected themselves or had been merely taking care of the sign (swelling) of the affliction and paying no attention to the cause. What are you doing? Are you neglecting yourself by wearing a truss, ap pliance, or whatever name you choose to call it? At best, the truss is only a makeshift, a false prop against a collapsing wall—and cannot be expected to act as more than a mere mechanical support. The binding pres sure retards blood circulation, thus robbing the weakened muscles of that which they need most—nourishment. But science has found away, and every truss sufferer in the land is invited to make a FREE test right in the privacy of their own home.

WASHINGTON, June 12.—South ern railroads are asking freight rate increases twice as great as the law contemplates in their application for a 31 per cent advance, Iff M. Caskie, of Montgomery, Ala., today told the Interstate commerce commission in behalf of the Southern Traffic league. Some increases, however, are necessary, the league coheeded. Mr. Caskie presented figures to show that the earnings actually be ing received by the railroads of the south Atlantic at the present time are much greater than the carriers estimate. So far during 1920 he declared southern lines have been rapidly recovering their normal earn ings while the petitions of the car riers were based entirely on the un favorable showing for the year 1919. Carriers of the south, nevertheless, are entitled to the fair return the law assures them, C. E. Cotterill, of At lanta, general counsel of the league, contended. “In showing to the commission that the lines of the south are not entitled to what they are asking for,” Mr. Cotterill stated, “the Southern Traffic league is not seeking to hold the earnings of those lines down be lo wthe fair return which the new law assures them. "On the contrary, the whole diffi culty with the carriers’ case is that they have completely ignored the actual results of operation for this year and are still relying upon the unfavorable results of operations in 1919. We rejoice in the recovery of earnings by southern lines during the present year and share their pride in the achievement. ‘ "Should conditions hereafter arise to change the present tendencies the railroads tn the south need fear no antagonistic attitude toward them by southern shippers. For the pres ent. however, it cannot fairly be con tended by the southern carriers that they require anything like the per centage of increased rates petitioned for. As to the carriers in the north, they have apparently made their case.” Tick Eradication Work Commended EASTMAN, June 12.—A large num ber of farmers and business men of the county have issued a card heart ily indorsing the work of cattle tick eradication, which is now in prog ress in Dodge and adjoining coun ties under the direction of Dr. Joseph J.

Harmony in Democratic Party Plentiful, But I 7 otes Scarce, Says TV, J. Bryan BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN To every political observer two things are apparent: first, that the contest for the Democratic presiden tial nomination is proceeding without acrimony. The Republicans are fighting and hairpulling in an arena that is vocal with accusation and cries of distress. If the public can believe what the Republican candi dates are saying about each other — and they are all- honorable men— none of them is fit for the office to which they aspire. How different the situation in the Democratic party! Everything is as peaceful as a pink tea; the candidates are most ladylike in their treatment of each other —it is, “After you, Alphonso,” "You first, Gaston.” Is it the lull before the storm, or is it be cause the prospects of success are not so exciting? That brings us to the second ob vious characteristic! of the campaign, viz., the shortage in Democratic votes, as shown by the primaries and by the various straw ballots re cently taken. Take Nebraska, for instance. In 1916 President Wilson carried the state by 41,000 majority; this year, in spite of the spirited fight over the liquor question, the democrats polled only about 76,000 votes at the primaries, while the Republicans polled about 130,000. In Michigan, the Republicans polled more than twice as many votes as the Democrats. In Ohio, the Repub licans polled considerably more than twice as many votes as the Demo crats, althougn the Democrats car ried Ohio in 1916. The same' rule holds goods—or should I say bad?— in Indiana, California, Massachusetts and other states where a vote has been taken. Scarcity of Votes The Literary Digest poll, the lar gest ever taken, reveals a lamentable scarcity of Democratic votes. But more astounding than the scarcity of Democratic votes is the apparent landslide of Democratic voters to’Re publican candidates. The voters are asked to state their party affiliations, and, up to the publication which ap peared on the fifteenth of May 148,- 000 Democrats expressed a prefer ence for Republican candidates wnile the number of Democrats expressing a choice for Democratic candidates was only a little greater. The pro portion is as great in the issue of May 22. It is quite unusual for more than two-fifths of the members of a party to indicate a leaning toward the candidates of the opposite party at the beginning of a campaign. Os course the Digest’s poll cannot in clude all the voters —they are count ing upon only eleven millions out of the total number of voters, and the votes already in represent only about cne-tenth of the total expected. It would not be fair, therefore, to re gard the Republican trend as con clusive, but it is enough to excito alarm among the Democrats —enough to compel earnest consideration of the problem which must be met in the campaign. The question which will be asked with increased emphasis as the con vention approaches is, how can the Democratic party rally to its stand ards a sufficient number of votes to win? To win is the thought upper most In the minds of delegates at a national convention, however much j they may differ as to the methods to be’employed. Some will insist on do ing anything that promises victory, while others will insist that the best way to’win is to deserve to win; but these two groups are united in pur pose. , , x Having in view this primary object of winning, let us consider the rela tive availability of the candidates, and it must be remembered that availabilty is not necessarily propor tionate to merit. To begin with, the president need not be considered. While vague hints and suggestions have been thrown out occasionally, no one claiming to speak for the president, or near enough to him to be assumed to ex press his wishes, has announced his eanaiaacy. Need Not Consider Hoover Mr. Hoover need not be consid ered among the availables. For a time he seemed to hesitate about de claring his allegiance to any party. He was inclined to wait until the platforms were written, with a view to choosing the one which came near est to his ideas. But this hesitation did not last long. For some reason— whether he acted voluntarily or was pushed by his backers, I cannot say •—he- plunged into the Republican pool and became a rival of Senator Johnson for California’s instructions. Before he took the fatal plunge, many Democrats joined his colors, and some of these would doubtless fol low him into the Republican party if he were the nominee. But he ap pears to have but little chance in the Republican convention and none at all at San Francisco. The most active of the avowed can didates for the Democratic nomina tion is Governor Edwards, of New Jersey. The primary vote shows that he has a strong following among the Knights of Thrist. Democrats of his variety thrive luxuriantly in the wet cities. His propaganda, however, does not take root to any great extent in the agricultural sections, and his following in the convention will not be sufficient to make him a serious competitor for the nomination. Be fore the convention the supreme court is likely to demolish his plat form by affirming the right of the people of the United States so to amend their constitution as to pro hibit the manufacture and sale of beverage liquors; and, second, by de nying the right of his and other states to nullify the national enforce ment law by state statute. His op position to prohibition is so violent that he would not be available except on a wet platform, and a wet plat form is an impossibility. Governor Cox, of Ohio, is likely to be the residuary legatee of all the other wet candidates, and may be regarded as the final rallying point for all Democrats who, either because of financial interest in the liquor traf fic or because of their own fondness for Intoxicants, regard love for liquor as the only legitimate affection and the right to buy it as the only in alienable right guaranteed by the constitution. Will Urge Compromise Governor Cox’s friends will, urge I him as a compromise between wets of the Edwards type and the bone drys. His supporters will make r their fight under the false flag of party harmony—a'harmony in which ■ they would feel no interest whatever if they could muster one majority for a wet plank. But Gov. Cox’s record is as mal-ordorous as Gov. Edwards, and extends over a longer period. The New Jersey governor began work in the vineyard, if I may be pardoned the illustration, at the eleventh‘hour, while Gov. Cox enter ed in the morning and perspired un der the rays of the rising ..un of prohibition. He can secure letters of recommendation from all the brewers, distillers, wholesalers, re tailers and topers’ in his state. He refused to aid in securing an en forcement law in Ohio after the voters had written prohibition into the constitution by 25,000 majority, and then he sat silent in the gover nor’s office while the representatives of the liquor traffic, with his knowl edge if not with his aid, waged- a bit ter fight against every law that the temperance element had secured during the past fifty years. He was willing to allow these reactionaries to repeal constitutional prohibition, nullify the enforcement law, and withdraw Ohio’s name from the list of ratifying states —erase it from the nation’s roll of honor! He was even willing that the brewers should write into Ohio’s constitution a falsehood, declaring that 2.75 per cent beer is not intoxicating, thus violating the national enforcement act. No wonder he has the enthusi astic support of those who manufac ture criminals for pay and make a busines of the corruption of politics It is the height of audacity that a man with such a record and such a suport should aspire to a Demo cratic nomination in face of the fact that every Democratic state rati fied the prohibition amendment, and in face of the further fact that thir ty-four of the states are dry by their own individual acts. The absurdity of his candidacy becomes the more apparent when it is remembered that at least fiften million women will be able to vote at the coming president ial election by virture of state laws. If the suffrage amendment is rati fied before November some twenty five million women will be entitled to vote. Bidding for Wet Vote Vice President Marshall is making a feeble bid for the wet vote, but he is hampered by his church con nections. His religious speeches ex cite suspicion atpong those who might otherwise fie attracted by his denunciation of national prohibition while Christians are disgusted by his wetness. In like manner the vice president is inviting Wall street sup port by his praise of "old-fashioned democracy” and by his veiled opposi tion to the initiative and referen dum, but the enthusiasm of the re actionaries is likely to be dampened by the rude remarks which he oc casionally makes against the exploit ing class. Attorney General Palmer entered the campaign with considerable ad vantage. He was in a position to deal sternly with the profiteer and an expectant public stood ready to applaud. But the profiteer seems to have things all his own way and the attorney general is now suffering from the reaction, which philosophers tell us is equal to the action and in the opposite direction. He has also roused the antagonism of labor and has their opposition to a greater ex tent than any other Democratic as pirant. ' He is unfortunate, too, in having to espouse the ratification of the treaty without reservations. His candidacy is, in this respect, a re buke to twenty-seven of the Demo cratic senators, twenty-three of whom voted for ratification with reserva tions and four of whom opposed the treaty entirely. The primaries reveal Mr. Palmer’s weakness as a candidate. In Michi gan he polled a little over 11,000 votes out of about 80,000 votes cast by Democrats. In Georgia he polled about one-third of the votes cast at the Democratic primary. In the Lit erary Digest poll up to May 22, he has secured only 17,000 out of some 300,000 votes cast for Democratic candidates. • McAdoo Is Leading Ex-Secretary McAdoo has, up to this time, led all the other candidates as far as the sentiment of the party can be gauged by primaries and polls, although his name has been on the ballot in so few places that the proof is only prima facie. He came next to Hoover in Michigan and has a con siderable lead in the Digest poll. His vote of eighty-six thousand out of some three hundred thousand Democratic votes counted is quite complimentary to him, coming as they do from the whole country, but it is not a very encouraging vote of confidence when it is measured against more than nine hundred thousand votes cast for Republican candidates. As Mr. McAdoo has annoupnced no platform it is impossible to know what following he will have when his position on public questions is known. It is evident that he has considerable strength among the wage earners, especially in railroad centers; but he is handicapped by silence on the tfeaty question. It he agrees with the president in the latter’s desire to make it a cam paign issue, he is at variance with the sentiment of the voters; if he favors ratification with reservations, he is not in a position, for family reasons, to lead the opposition to the president. Seriously Handicapped He is even more seriously handi capped by his close relationship to ♦the president. Without being able to call to his support those to whom the president’s candidacy appealed with special force, he furnishes an easy ‘mark for all the president's enemies. The virulfence of the hos tility which he invites is very accur ately described in the twenty-first chapter of Matthew, verses thirty three to thirty-nine. The Republicans have indicated the advantage which they would seek to take of his nomination by fre quent reference to the marriage tie which binds him to the White House. Speaker Clark has his own state behind him and has reason to feel complimented by the number of votes he has received in the ■Liter ary Digest poll. Judge Gerard’s candidacy has South Dakota’s support and he has many personal friends among the delegates. Senator Owen, of Oklahoma, and Secretary Meredith, of lowa, will be presented by their respective ' states. They deserve to be named among the few available men thus ■ far mentioned. To be available this year a candidate must be known i to be for woman suffrage, for pro- moi INDUSTRY FAILS TO STOPMMPOBTS That Georgia continues to import vast quantities of meat, notwith standing the growth of the hog and cattle industry in the state, is shown by statistics oconMPiled by Dr. Peter F. Bahnsen, state veterinarian, and given out Saturday. His figures cover the years 1916. 1917, 1918 and 1919. They show that the state produced more foodstuffs in 1918 than in any other year on record, and raised and marketed more cattle and hogs than in airy other year, but at the same time im ported a greater quantity of meat from other states. This is explained by Dr. Bahnsen on the theory that war conditions were responsible for both high rec ords. In 1918 the government made a drive for increased food production to help' win the war. In 191$ there were trained in Georgia many thou sands of soldiers in the various can tonments, and a large part of their diet consisted of meat. In 1916 the state of Georgia im ported a total of 06,690,767 pounds of meat of all kinds, including dress ed- cattle, hogs and sheep, pork and pork products of all kinds, lard, can ned meats and other packing house products. In 1917 the state imported a total of 75.507.089 pounds; in 1918 a total of 99,570339 pounds; in 1919 a total of 88,537,713 pounds. Imported Less in 1919 It will be noticed that the im portations of meat in 1919 were less than those in 1918 and less than those in 1916. Dr. Bahnsen esti mates that the 1919 importations represent about the normal meat im portations under present conditions. Dr. Bahnsen’s figures show that the total beef importations for 1919 were 16,234,695 pounds, or 40,587 head of cattle, requiring 1,450 cars to haul them to the packing houses, and worth $4,056,939 at the low price of 25 cents a pound. Taking the pork importations for 1919, which was the largest year on record, the figures show'that Georgia imported the equivalent of 790,289 hogs, requiring 10,000 cars to haul them to the packing houses, and rep resenting an expenditure of $10,838,- 218. In this connection he remarks that “should by any chance trans portation facilities fail, we would be in an extremely bad predicament.” Dr. Bahnsen’s Statement After showing the above and nu merous other figures on meat im portations into Georgia, Dr. Bahn sen makes the following observa tions concerning the system which forces farm products, especially hogs, on the market in a very limited period in the fall, thereby glutting the market and forcing down prices: “This problem is by no means an easy one. To be sure, we must ex tend our production. But, unfor tunately, our system of agriculture forces the products of the farm on the market durjng a few months of autumn, especially hogs. ,It is a most difficult problem to extend the marketing season of our hogs over a period sufficiently long to prevent the glut of the fall market with its in evitable depression of the price ot hogs on foot, a condition which just ly discourages the producer. "A glutted market, from a labor scarcity viewpoint, -is no doubt a source of embarrassment to the pack er also. But the packer converts this period of market stagnation into a golden harvest of profit for him self bv forcing the price of hogs on foot to the lowest possible market le '*lt is entirely wrong to think that the consumer reaps the benefit of this depression in the market. No small part of the hams and break fast bacon retailed at sixty cents per pound and much of the side meat, sold at thirty cents per pound Or more are the products of hogs that brought the producer from ten to twelve cents per pound on toot. Prepare for Pall Bush “With shrewd business acumen the packers annually empty their cool ers in anticipation of the fall rush. And as the price of live stock on foot is hammered to the lowest point possible, they replenish their ex hausted stores in anticipation of the rise in the market which Inevitably occurs as soon as the market is no longer glutted. In spring and sum mer, when because few hogs are of fered for sale, the price of hogs on foot advances, the large stores of meat purchased at distress prices from the producers find their way into traffic in keeping with the then prevailing high prices of hogs on foot. “Packers and packing houses are modern necessities but in common with other middlemen, they welcome and help to create opportunities that enable them to constantly widen the gulf of difference between the price paid to the producer ’as compared with the price paid by the con sumer. "I believe the establishment of municipal abattoirs in each county where the hog industry is sufficient ly developed to justify the expense would prove a blessing to the pro ducer. It would enable him to have his hogs slaughtered when food is getting short, independent of the packer, instead of being compelled to sacrifice them to the unscrupu lous greed of the packers. The pro ducer could better afford to hold his meat in suitable storage until a nor mal market demand called for his product than to sacrifice his hogs, on foot, at ruinous prices; a system that has enabled the packing indus try to accumulate fabulous wealth while the producer is still earning his daily bread by the sweat of his brow.” Girl Waits 22 Years Only to Be Jilted FALLS CITY, Neb. —A Richardson county jury has awarded SI,OOO a year to Miss Jennie Fellers for each of the twenty-two years she waited for Louis H. Howe, now of Lincoln, to make good his promise to marry her. Miss Fellers is a school teacher. Her story was that when she was a high school girl in 1896 she met Howe, several years her senior and of a family possessed of large hold ings of land. Howe was manager of the estate for his mother. Miss Fel lers agreed to marry him but he said he must stay with his mother as long as she lived. Howe’s mother is still living. In 1918 Howe broke off the engagement. He said that 1 his mother and sisters did not think Miss Fellers would make him the kind of a wife he need ed. He also said his fiancee had grown “touchy” and “sharp” in her conversations with him. She sued for $50,000. The jury gave her $22,- 000. Poland to Abolish Mark as Standard WARSAW, June 12. —Poland is to abolish the mark as the standard of currency which has been in use since the German occupation of Warsaw in 1915. The basis of Poland’s new financial system is to be the zloty, normally about qeual in value to the French franc. The zloty was the monetary unit more than 10 years ago, prior to Poland’s partition by Russia, Prussia and Austria.

Mother and Son Sail Into Girl’s Fiance BEDFORD, Ind. —A young man’s fancy, which had soared to heights of June weddings, taflspinned to earth when Robert H. Cruder, Chi cago, left town under police protec tion from a mother and a brother and without a bride. The first reel showed the prologue, wherein the young Chicagoan became acquainted with Miss Margaret Da yis, twenty-one years old, Bedford, by mail. The next pieftired arrival of the "city fellow” in the Indiana town, the meeting with the girl and a stroll in the park. Then the climax, as love’s dream took the skies. Mother, Mrs. J. T. Rutledger, arm ed with an umbrella, and brother, with a revolver, jumped into the camera’s range. In a jiffy the um brella lost its usefulness for rainy days. Borther accelerated Cruder’s flight with a couple of shots. The Chi cagoan came to a high fill and tried to "plane” out of range, but his landing was bad —and painful. He limped to the police station and had police guard him until he left town. The fade-out showed him aboard the first train out.

"Senator Harding was nominated be cause the old guard Republicans want a president to whom they can give orders —apresident who will take orders. Accordingly they pres ent their puppet candidate in the person of Warren G. Harding, of Ohio.” The Times, also Democrat, in a first-page editorial said: "Upon a platform that has pro duced general dissatisfaction, the Chicago convention presents a can didate whose nmoination will be received with astonishment and dis may by the party whose suffrage he invites. “The nomination of Harding, for whose counterpart we must go back to Franklin Pierce if we would seek a president who measures down to his political stature, is the fine and perfect flower of the cowardice and imbecility of the senatorial cabal that charged tiself with the man agement of the Republican conven tion.” MACON CLAIMS 62,950 PEOPLE ON DIRECTORY MACON, Ga., June 12.—Macon has 62,950 inhabitants, the new city di rectory shows.
