This ; same action was taken by the house] over a year ago, but it was thought i the South would put these articles in the high tariff. The committee of the Senate reported in favor of the tariff but when the vote was taken it was 39 to 24. Several Republicans voting with the Democrats. i?? HENRY FORD'S DREAMS COME TRUE Some of the people who oppose accepting Ford's olfer for the Muscle Shoals project say that Ford is a dreamer .In an editorial in the Nashville, Tennessean the character of Henry Ford's dreaming is thus described : "He has dreamed big things in the past and they have come to pass, and there is no reason to doubt that his dreams for the future will come to pass if he is permitted to aid them with the common sense and the business acumen with which he is possessed. "Twenty years ago Henry Ford dreamed of a horseless carriage, and today his automobile is known from *1 i-i 4^ aI? -4U ? wiic cuu ui tut? wui m iu tut: titiitrr. This was a practical dream, yet there were those who laughed at him. "He dreamed of a great industrial city, and he has built one and more out of the profits of his first dream. He has given employment to thousands. He has spread prosperity and sunshine over a great part of our country, from which he has drawn the raw materials and the parts that ?o to make the finished product which bears his name. "He has dreamed of an easier life for the farmer and of greater returns for the labor that goes into the production of crops, and he has given the farmer a tractor to ease his toil and to increase his pofits. "He dreamed of a railroad that could be operated without loss and at the same time give the public cheap and 4picicnt service, and lie has brought that condition about. "He dreams of a great water-power development on the Tennessee River which will put to use a war project that so-called captains of industi'y were about to abandon. One of%the results of the realization of that dream will be added prosperity for the farmer. Another will be the im provement of a great river, so that heap transportation may be had. Another will be the building of a groat industrial center which will hum with activity and will give employment to thousands and carry prosperity to them and their families. Another will be the maintenance of the great war project intact, so that in event we go to war again, Uncle Sam will have ready at hand tools that he will need so urgently. "This is Henry Ford's dream, and it is a dream that will come true if partisanship and the grip of the special interests can be smashed." Ex-Kaiser William did not win the war but he has won a law suit. He objected to a play to be put on the stage that was not complimentary to the said Ex-Kaiser and the court decided in Bill's favor. DON'T SHOOT THE PROFESSOR! Professor Einstein and his theory of "relativity" got into trouble in Germany. In fact Einstein feared assasithe Germans did not find out any /nation and left Germany in haste. If more about the meaning of "relativity" than the people of this country it is hard to understand why they should want to kill the professor. TARIFF WILL HELP THE TRUSTS Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, who has made so many masterly speeches in Congress in opposition to the tariff bill recently paid some attention to the gigantic trusts that will be benefitted by the Fordney-McCumber tariff. The North Carolina Senator said: "The Republican Party has been in power over a year and I have not heard of any prosecutions of trusts, although we all know that during the war the trusts in the United States multiplied and multiplied, and that their power today is infinitely greater j than it has ever been in the history of 1 this country, and we all know that if ; this bill passes the hands of the trusts | will be further strengthened and the further monopolization of the indus- ] tries of this country will be invited. < "Oh yes, help the producer. Do not i prosecute him if he is in a trust. I)o i not interfere with his trust organiza- ^ tions. Give him a free hand to monopolize, and then give him enough tariff duty to enable him to raise his present sky high prices until they r bump the sky. That was his theory, and the country shall know that such li ia the doctrine of the Republican Par- n ["RANGE NEWS ITEMS FROM THE DAILY PRESS Washington, Aug. 10.?A man in >ndon tried to hang himself.

"The Kour Horsemen of the Hard- ^ ing administration are: "Poverty, 4 n "Distress, a "Disorder, j "Violence." v Seantor Robinson (Dem., Ark.), ^ who like the Nevada Senator always v talks straight to the point, thought so well of Senator Pittman's interview that he had it placed in the Conjrresional Record. SNAKE CITES: WHAT TO DO "What snakes in the Southern Uni- ^ ted States are poisonous and what ar? j the symptoms and especially the treatment of bites from such snakes?" v asks another subscriber. c The bites of copperheads, water ^ moreosins- enrol sn:ikc< sind ruffle snakes are poisonous. The bite from a ? small snake is not as poisonous as a bite from a large snake of the same species. Snake venom, which contains the poison, is a thin, greenish-yellow fluid of characteristic coloi*. The deaths from bites of poisonous snakes vary from 5 per cent in the case of ' copperheads to about 20 per cent, for the large rattlers. ' The symptoms of snake bite are intense* pain, discolored swelling of the bitten part, and profound disturbances of the circulatory and nervous systems. There is great weakness and prostration, nausea, and a profuse flow of saliva. Muscular paralysis may occur in from three to fourj hours. Unconsciousness is rare, but; the patients often fall into a kind of J stupor. As soon as possible after the bite! has occurred a band made of a hand kerchief or some similar article should ! l>e applied a few inches above the | wound, between it and the heart, and! twisted with a stick to prevent the | poison being carried into the system J by the blood. The bites of mosti snakes consist of but two punctures; these should be freely incised with a I knife and then sucked. There is no i danger in sucking the wound if there are no cracks or sore in the mouth or on the tongue. After the wound hasj been sucked it should be cauterized by j applying carbolic or nitric acid on the] en<l of a stick, such as a match. Or j cauterization may be done by heating: a nail, knife blade, or some such arti- j cle and freely burning all parts of the wound. After the wound has been sucked and cauterized, the bandage may be : J loosened. It shouid be allowed to re- I main loose for one minute and then j be tightened up again. If no alarming: ? symptoms have developed within 20' minutes it may again be loosened, this I time for two minutes, after which it should be tightened again. After another period of 20 minutes the bandmm Kn IrtriQnrwwl for throo min_ utes. This procedure should be kept up several hours, gradually increas-l , ing the time the bandage is off; the object, is of course,to allow only small! quantities of the poison to get into the > system at one time. If in spite of the local measures and : the use of the bandage general symp- ' toms of weakness develop, the patient must be given stimulants. It is com-! monly believed that large doses of n whiskey or alcohol in some form I should be administered. This is a so-' c rious mistake, as the alcohol will do j d harm by adding another depressant to that which is already in the system. 0 Instead of whiskey it is better to I ?ive aromatic spirits of ammonia, one- ' aalf teaspoonful in water every hour, s !ind half a cupful of very strong cof-. d fee every two hours. I I Of recent years serums have been produced which are very effective in B ertain kinds of snake bites, but they n ire rarely obtainable when most iceded.- Dr. Washbun, in The Pro- B cressive aFrmer. ^ g Efficient Treatment tl "Do you guarantee results in your * lerve treatment?" asked the caller.

CHIEF OURAY, THE DICTATOR OF THE UTES "To the Chiefs, Hendmsn and Utee of the White River Agency: You are hereby requested and commanded to cease hoe- | tllitlea against the whites. Injuring no i Innocent person or any other further j than to protect your own Uvea and prop- j ertlee from unlawful 'and unauthorised combinations and desperadoes, as anything further will ultimately end In disaster to all parties. (Signed) "OURAY." SUCH Is a document unique in Indian history. No other Indian chief had a secretary to wliotu he dictated orders and there is no other case on record of a chief calling upon his warriors In this manner to lay down their arms after they had shed white blood. It Is evidence of Ouray's greatness that his comtnuud was obeyed Immediately. In 1879 Agent N. C. Meeker had trouble with the White Itlver Utes and called for troops to protect him. MnJ. T. T. Thornburgh with a -force <?f 150 men mnrched to his relief. The Utes took this as a declaration of war and nt tacked them on the Milk river hi northwestern Colorado. l'art of them besieged the soldiers, killing 13, I including the commander, and wounding 48. Others attacked the agency, murdered Meeker and nine other white men, taking five women and children captives. Then came Ouray's message and the "Ute war" was over. Ouray, "The Arrow" was horn In Taos, N. M., In 1834. He was baptized by a Jesuit priest and educated in a little Mexican school at Taos where ke learned tlie Spanish tongue. In 1850 he returned to the Utes who were then engaged in a bitter struggle with the Navajoes, Cheyennes and Arapahoes. One day a war party of 30 Utes led ' by Ouray was attacked by 800 Arap' ahoes. The chief rallied his warriors, formed them in a hollow square and then in a fight lasting 14 hours they Anally beat oft their assailants. Soon after this Ouray's only son was captured-by the Arapahoes. From that day the Ute chief never allowed his tribe to rest from hostility toward them. In later years he apjwaled to the government to restore his son to him, but the boy had become so much an Arapahoe that he refused to come. Because of Ouray's knowledge of Spanish he was made the government Interpreter to the Utes in 1850 and became head chief soon afterwards. His friendship toward the whites was unwavering and he adopted some of their ways. He had a woll-cultlvated form on which he built a comfortable house and there he died August 24, 1880, f I CAUGHT IN PASSING I j Every cloud has a silver lining, but you have to rise gi>ove It to rcp it. ; Mot the simple life Is the simpleton life. The lutter Is usually expensive. A woniuu seldom dresses to please her husband?unless she pays the bills. Stop worrying uhout the sorrows of yesterday and go after the Joys of today. i When you talk louder than'the other fellow It's a sign you're wrong and he's right. As a rule when a man begins to look for trouble he overestimates his capneity. Every man Is as old as he feels, hut j he should try to look younger to please I his wife. Every woman has a certain look with which she thinks she can squelch a man. (letting Into trouble Is generally expensive, hut some people Just will have expensive things. l'oetry of love Is transformed into I prose when matrimony reaches the | paregoric stage. | If a had habit hasn't killed a man i by the time he Is seventy-live, he li pretty sure It won't. The halo a man sees on a girl's head during courtship develops Into a bonnet ufter marriage. So many people are Imposed on hecause they fear they may be entertaining an angel unawares. Any man who can keep his umbrellas In the right place has the faculty of saving money. No one now offers any moralizing on the blessings of poverty. It is called "the simple life." If there is such a thing as a perfect woman it must bo one wlio Is able to conceal her Imperfections. MADE WISE CHOICE OF WIFE John Brown's Helpmate Apparently Ideal Woman for a Man of Hia Stern Disposition. John Brown, whose body iRter on lay "a-molderlng In the grave," once described the lady who afterward became bts wife as a "remarkably plain but neat, industrious and economical girl." These bitter virtues seem to have atoned for her want of physical charm, for he and Dlanthe Busk were married when she was nineteen and lie was only twenty. Dlanthe was a strong-minded woman, but she made John an excellent wife, and their twelve years of married life?terminate! by her early death?were most happy. He was a man of decided nnd violent disposition, and hi;; wife Is said to have possessed the faculty of getting him to do as she wished and causing him to believe that It was his Idea all along. She died In 1W12, twelve yeurs after tbeir marriage anu Just after the birth of their seventh child. Doubtful Proposition.

Several hundred men and women will be jrcsent and a representative of each ;chool will take part. The programs have not beeri printed yet, but each pupil should practice on a selection from his or her reading book so that he will stand a chance of being selected to represent (he school in the reading contest. A prize will be given the pupil reading the best. A prize will also be offered the pupil who makes the best talk on "Why I N^ed the Adult School and What it Has Done for Me." The teacher will select the best from her school as there will be only one representative from each school for each contest at the county commencement. Community Work A community is made up of a group of neoplc who live under the same laws and have the same interests. The five principal communities arc: the home, the city, the county, the state and the nation. Each one is dependent upon the others to make the best type of citizen. Citizens The Fourteenth Amendment to the ~ r 1.1 T T? za. ?i ni-A _ vtiMimii'ULiun ui tut? unutu ot&ics uedares that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and ubject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States and . of the state wherein they reside." The Rights of Citizenship These rights are civil and political granted by Federal and state governments: 1. The right to vote and hold office. 2. The protection of the law. 3. The protection on the high seaa and in foreign lands. Good Citizens 1. They must be just and honest in their private and public business. 2. They must respect the law and 1 uphold it. 3. They must, take an interest in* politics. 4. They must do all they can to better the conditions of the community. Duties of a Voter Voting is the right to express your wijl in political matters. Party organization is separate from government organization, but it is as old as the United States Constitution itself. ThP turn nlrl r*ovtino ^ . wtT w vm\i pni (/ICO aic cue i/ciliw cratic and Republican. You should be loyal to your party, but only so long as that party has the best interest of the country in view. Remember: -k.'. 1. It is your duty to vote. 2. You must understand the questions upon which you are called to vote. < ' 3. You must vote for good measures?those that will make the community n better place. 4. You must neither give nor receive a bribe. f>. You must vote for the best-interests of the country rather than for those of any party. 6. You must recognize the result of the election as the will of the people. 7. You must uphold the law. 8. If you think a law is sad, you should not break it, but you should try to have it changed. Local Work The work of each community varies according to its needs, but every community, city and country?does all, or nearly all, of the following things for the benefit of the citizens: 1. It keeps the peace and good or('cr' Jt ' 2. It builds public schools and pays: the teachers. ^ 3. It cares for the public health. 4. It helps the poor and unfortunate. ' ? 5. It licenses trade; assesses and
