ECONOMY IS IMPERATIVE
Pleasure Is Expressed By President
Over Large Investments Made.ln
Savings Securities.
Declaring that "nothing could be
truer than that in the present eco
nomic state of the world it is neces
sary not only for the people to teach,
.but to practice economy In expendi
tures and sound methods in invest
ment of their savings," Warren G.
Harding, President of the United
States, has expresed personal pleasure

States in Treasury Savings Securities,
which are the 25 cent Thrift Stamp,
SI Treasury Savings Stamp, $5 Gov

President Makes Pledge About
War.
Washington, Sept. 1.-Assurance
that they wili not be called upon
to enter any war that "you could
not enter with all your hearts and
given by president Harding today
in an address to 200 officerstudents !
at the army war college. Lack of
understanding was declared by Mr.
Harding to be the basic cause of all
conflict, whether between nations or I
domestic. He cited the disturbance j
in West Virginia as a case in point.
"The trouble with the world today"
Mr. Harding continued, "is that too j
many zhecrists know nothing about !
actualities, and have learned 'noth
ing of experience, and whoever in
this life brings the wisdom of ex
perience into a blend with the
teachings of theory makes a contri
bution to real progress.
"-vo matter where the best aspi
ration of the world may lead us, no
mattet what tremendous and gratiry
ing progress is made, there may nev
>er bo a time without the necessity
for armad forces in every govern
ment. 1 believe with all my heart
wc are coming tn a rime when we are
going to diminish the burden of ar
mament, s
I think there will be less of ar
mies and less of navies. I wish it
with all my heart, but there never
can come a rime when there is not
. a requisite agency for the mainte
nance of law and authority and for
nationa) defense. It is perfectly fu
tile to think there m?y never be con
flict when you stop to consider that
in two thousand years of Christian
civilization and four thousand more
of pagan civilization concerning
which we are informed, we have only
.lately come to a real civilized state.
"It has been a slow proceeding,
and 1 believe we of America, with
out unseeming boasting can say we
have come the nearest to unselfish,
conscientious warfare of any people
in the world.
"I am a firm believer that there
are two essentials to the civilization
to which we all subscribe. One is the
nnderstanding among men at home.
We ought to have na conflict like
that which is distressing us in West
"Virginia at this hour. That is a lack
of understanding. There should nev
er be a conflict between civilized
nations and there never will be if
t?iere are men in authority who will
?nsist on a full understanding first."
Knott in The Dallas News
the last few/years the people of the
United States have saved for them
selves in Government Savings Secur
ities an amount equal to the- cost of
digging the Panama Canal, the great
est ditch in the world.
FRENCH THRIFT
France is making a wonderful re
covery.
Ou: of 1,400 miles of railway de
stroyed in the war, more than 90 per"
cent have already been replaced.
Of the 550,000 houses destroyed,
some 160,000 have been replaced or
repaired.
More than one-half of the 1,986 fac
tories destroyed are now re-established
and producing.
In every line of activity the French
j have1 demonstrated wonderful recuper
I ative powers.
What is the reason?
There is no question as to the an
! swer: it is thrift-not only thrift itself
hut the HABIT of thrift which is an
immeasurably bigger thing.
> France belongs to its people. In a
population of 40,000,000 some 12,000,
000 are householders of whom 9,000,000
own their own homes. Nearly one-half
the area of France is under cultivation
and there are few i and h o gs.
Why Durocs?
The men entering the purebred
hog business should use the same
kind of judgment that he would in
launching" out into any other line.
He should not be influenced by fads
and fancies,- but weigh the merits of
the various breeds and choose that
breed of hogs which nearest con
forms to his standard of an ideal
pork producing machine.
We wish to set forth the merits
of the DUROC BREED for your con
sideration?
1. Due to the fact that the DUROC
has the ability to produce the.most
pounds in the shortest time and on
the least feed, statistics furnished
by the national Association show
him to be the most popular breed of
hogs. liv 1020, according to statistics,
51 per cent of all hogs marketed in
the United States were Durocs or
Duroc crosses. In 1919 the Duroc As
sociation recorded over 17,000 more
purebred animals than their compet
itor. Isn't that evidence that h*e
meets the demand of %both the feed
er and the packer?
2. DUROCS are prolific, the sows
always bringing good litters, raising
a large percentage of their pigs.. In
1920 out of the first one thousand
pedigrees recorded in volume G7 of
the National Association, there was
an average cf 9.52 pigs per litter and
7.13 pigs per litter raised. Thus the
OLD RED SOW can be safely relied
upon for at least an average of fif
teen pigs per year raised. What kind
of security of stocks do you own
that will pay such handsome divi
dends? .
3. The DUROCS as a b/eed are
docile, quiet and easily handled. They
are easily confined but splendid
grazers, which cheapens the cost of
production.
4. They are adapted to a wide
range of climate conditions, as ev
idence -of- this they are being raised
successfully from northern Canada
to the extreme southern part of S.
A,
5. The DUROC is one of the two
solid colored breeds, which means
that every pig that is a good individ
ual is eligible for record and for
sale. There are no fancy points such
spots, white points, nor belt to be
lacking, thus excluding a good pig
from record and sale as a purebred
breeding animal.
6. Durocs are big framed and
heavy boned and breed these charac- I
teristics. This makes their boars very
desirable for out-crossing on grade
sows by farmers.
Much more could be said of the
GREATEST OF ALL BREEDS, but
some one. has wisely said, "A hint to
the wise is sufficient."-The Duroc
Bulletin.

Alabama Lady Was Sick For Three
Years, Suffering Pain, Nervous
and Depressed-Read Her
Own Story of Recovery,
Paint Reek, Ala.-Mrs. C. M. Stegall,
of near here, recently related the fol
lowing interesting account of her re
covery ? "I was in a weakened con
dition. J -was sick three years in bed,
suffering a great deal of pain, weak,
nervous, depressed. I was so weak,
I couldn't walk across the floor; just
had to lay and my little ones do the
work. I was almost dead. I tried
every thing I heard of, and a number of
doctors. Still I didn't get any relief.
I couldn't eat, and slept poorly; I
believe If I hadn't ?eard of and taken
Cardui I would havo died. I bought
lix bottles, after a neighbor told me
what it did for her.
"I began to eat and sleep, began to
gain my strength and am now well
and strong. I haven't bad any. trou
ble since .\ . I sure can testify to the
good that Cardui did me. I don't
think there is a better tonic made,
and I believe it saved my life."
For over 40 years, thousands of wo
men have used Cardui successfully,
In the treatment of many womanly
ailments.
If you suffer as these women did,
take Cardui. It may help you, too. .
