OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS One Y:eur DEMOCRATIC EXTRAVAGANCE. The Wilson administration spent- $1,051,000,000 to build aircraft for war purposes. When the war closed there were no American fighting planes at the front. The administration paid one company $20,000,000 for motors and airplanes and sold them back to the company for $2,720,000. Government operation of the railroads under the Wilson administration created a deficit of $1,375,000,000 to be paid out of the United States treasury and went very far to cause an increase of $2,000,000,000 in passenger and freight rates. The ' administration. spent $3,250,000,000 building ships now estimated by the shipping board to be worth $2’0005000" 000. Wooden ships, built against the judgment of knowing n!fipping men, cost $450,000,000. They are virtually worthless \ today as far as the government stands to recoup any of the expenditure, o Secretary Baker built military training camps on the cost plus plan; Which meant that the more the contractor spent the more he got back 'in profit. The camps should have cost about $1720,000,000. They actually cost $1,200,000,000. e set out 'to build 20,000 pieces of artillery and to provide the guns with ammunition. The department got ready for action at the front only a few thousand shells and only about one hundred guns. It ‘wasted '$7,000,000 on a' new artillery camp. at Columbus, ' @a. It paid for the site $439,000, and sold it back for $32,000. " Ninety millions of dollars was spent by Mr. Baker’s depart- ment for the construction and operation of the Old Hickory powder plantat Nashville, Tenn. No powder was produced om the plant that could be used in the war. Sixty millions| was spent to build a powder plant at Nitro, W. Va., and $10,- 000,000 was invested in p le. property. = The whole shoot- h;g ma,tch was sold for $8,551,000: <The company that oper- ated the plant was paid $11,293,737, but no powder produced there was used.at the front. s e Mr. Baker’s department bought three times as many ,saddles as horses, %V? timeg .as many halters, four-times as] many horse brushes,’ five times as many nosebags, and onei branding iron for every two horses, The'administration spent $116,000,000° for poison gas. Not a pound of the gas ever s used in American shells and anly about a hundred tons of | erican gas-loaded shells ever reached the dump fields. inneapolis Tribune. i : " fi," RN CoUl )MMISSIONERS. outhérn B _'ltrarfqi coufity - has two efficient ‘commissioners who arg seeking re-election, .

Commands are not heeded as.in days of ‘old:" Neither are promises relied upon. It is q cage of spreading all your “cards” on the table fj.ght from the statt. The people’refuse to be “hoodwinked'* in this day and age. They demand to know the whole truth. If any portion of the facts'in the case are with- held they become 'suspicious, and whén once “fobled” they refuse to be fooled again, ~ : Especially is"this trie 'in ‘politics. Selfishness and greed are the principle factors,’ A cause must be’ for ‘the good of the people as a whole, the common pgople in particular.

He was “puz- zled to find himself a personage,” said James Russell Lowell. ‘But his politi- cal friends were quick to see in his triumphs_abroad a chance to restore their own prestige at home, and they urged him on ®ntil he had completed aetour of the world, which remains, perhaps, unequaled in brilliance.

With grim heroism, he fought' it un- til he had completed the two volumes of his “Memoirs,” although he was re- duced to the 'mecessity of whispering his dictation in the ear of a stenog- rapher. | Firally he was left speech- less and had to write out the closing chapters on a pad in his lap. At the coming of summer, he was taken up state to a cottage on Mt. Mc- Gregor, ' There he silently welcomed, as he sat on the piazza, the visitors who came to see him, among them Gen- eral Simon Bolivar Buckner.

Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trou- le, nervousness, dizziness, sleepless- ness and urinary disorders come fron. sluggish kidneys. The 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 attended by a sensation of scald- ing, stop eating meat and get about Zour ounces of Jad 'SaKy from an pharmacy ; take a tablespoonful i glass ,of water -before. bre in a few days your kidneys will act. fine.
