A'-. •• ■ ' .. One-Half The Lawyers In The Countty Are Parasites On Society By Dr 3ugh Miller, Geo. Washington University. Duo acknowledgement should b ' paid the k gal profession for its ser vices to civilization in Hie past and to the high minder) and etlicirn members of that profession today I'he profession us a whole, bowew is all out of joint with the nquirt ments of our present day civilian tion. So much so that I I,el lev that 1-2 the lawyers in the country are parasites on society and p.<r form no useful service To explain this let me say that congress, composed mostly of law yers, paid by the public 810,’000 a year, spend their time piSeiug law s which they violate every-day, to gether with a large part of the pop ulation of the country, Other lawyers employed by individual and corporations earn §50,000 a year and upward by trying to inter pret or evade the laws which the first group of lawyers have passed. In other words, the legal pro fessipii ■ ?on.of its omdrul vl ■ political and economic machinery, are playing both ends, against tlie middle and art fattening them selves at the expense of the public Moreover, lawyers, as a rule, talk too much and act too slowly for modern conditions Enifineers, proverbially, talk little, but act quickly and efficiently. o Low Prices On Spring Goods Elsewhere in this issue of The Liberal will be faund an attractive, “ad” for that' popular merchant, Mr. B. H Fudge. He is offering, at reasonable prices, a large and varied line of , new and fresh spring merchandise, including anything that the entire family might need. It would be useless for us to try to introduce Mr. B. H. Fudge to the citizens of this and adjoining counties, fur they know that he stands upon honesty and trust worthinest, as well as giving them the very best values in clean, fresh and up-to-date drv goods, ladies’, gentlemens’ and childrens’ ready '.o-wear, notions, etc. He will appreciate your patron age; and he and every member of ■lie efficient sales force will be glad to serve yon.

Owner must raise money. MILLER COUMTY REALTY CO., Jesse A. liraice Manager. I Add More Life To Your Tires With a little thought you can add still more to the life of your tires. Here are a few precautions to observe that will be well repaid by the extra lire mileage that you will gain; Avoid sudden stops, Do not let the tires slide along the pavement. Avoid sharp turns. Taka cor ners slowly. Don t bruise a tire by running into a curb or other obstruction. Don’t scrape the tires by run ning too close to a curb. Keep out of car tracks and deep ruts. Repair outs and worn spots promptly. Keep tires properly inflated. Under or over inflat’on is very ■ injurious to a tire. . —— o Another Courthouse Row Brews In Calhoun County Arlington publishes the state ment th it she has the money on deposit to turn over to the county board for the purpose of building a court house and jail.
