What is'this Americanism? The most distinctive thing in the American soul is the love of liberty; the liberty to think and to believe which brought Puritan, Quaker and shores; and the liberty to act and to found and maintained in the land. These four liberties developed four great equalities; the equality of rank of opportunity, of political power and of personal privilege. When these four liberties joined these four equalities, such a marriage had never been made in the world before and they gave birth AMERICAN. ~ to America, the soul of America, THE This child grew, developing a distinctive character and persopal traits. Of American traits, the most marked wants to begin for himsel# what he wants to begin. want his Government to begin things is individual initiative. An American An American does not for him, or do things for him or give things to him. The American boy of 15 doesn’t want his parents to begin and to do things for him. A true American wants to begin for himself what he wants to begin, when he wants to begin it, and to carry forward his enterprise, unaided on the one hand and unhindered on the other, just as far as his own capacity will carry him. ' That is Am erican genius! Herein lies the challenge and limitation of governmental ownership. Just now that seems to be a seductive doctrine; but Government ownership is not a new fidea; it is a very old 1dea,—it i ment, indeed, it was the very first government. s the oldest idea, it is as old as govern- 0ld Pharoah in Egypt is an exhibit of a perfect example of governmental ownership. He owned the lands, the labors, the liberties and the lives of all the people. For’ six thousand years the common man has struggled, rebelled, fought and died to destroy this governmental ownership. The greatest rejoicing which the common man ever knew in this world was on the day when he reached the greatest distance and freedom from Pharoah in the Declaration of Independence in the Constitution of the United States in the Land of America in the name of Washington. And now we have reached a time when men in this land in this name under these documents would turn us back again to the beginning, for the full logical .end of governmental ownership will complete the cycle in the regime of & Pharoah if indeed rhen have under Trotsky and Lenine. not already struck far behind a Pharoah TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH KIDNEYS Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy or Have Blad- der Trouble Meat forms uric acid which excites and overworks the kidneys in their efforts to filter it from the system.

H. McKenny, who resides at 511 Payne Avenue, St.’ Paul, Minn., recently. Continuing, he said: “While, as I said before, I am hale and hearty and able to do my share of hard work, I could not do it be- fore I took Tanlac. In fact, I could not work more than half the time, and when I did anything at all I was so weak and tired out I would just have to drag myself around. For the past two years I have been gradu- ally losing weight and strength, hav- ing gone from 155 to 134 pounds, and felt tired and wornout all the time. I had scarcely any appetite at all and my stomach gave me a great deal of trouble, for when I would force myself to eat a little something it would sour and I would bloat some- thing awful from gas, and have ter-| rible griping pains. I was also both- ered with my back and would have the worst sort of sharp pains running through it nearly all the time and it was with the greatest difficulty I could stoop over and straighten up again. 'My nerves were in bad shape fand I was so restless at night it was next to impossible for me to get a good night’s sleep, and I would get up in the morning completely tired out. “I had been reading a great deal about what it has done for me and: decided to give it a trial, and it just seemed to be exactly the medicine I needed as I began to improve im- mediately after takin); the first few together, form a great machine, each part of pendent on the other. ment in it. they should give. tion. other implements. handicap other 2 Your farm implements, taken all is no better than the poorest imple- Poor seed bed-making by an in- ferior plow, for instance, will make it impossible for your planter and cultivator to give the profit that Like wise, inaccurate planting will lessen the returns from the best of seed beds and thorough -cultiva- And a cultivator that will not de- stroy weeds and conserve moisture without injuring the crop plants, . cuts the profit from the use of your Thus it is with practically every implement on your farm.
