Cairo, 111. "Some time ago I got to

tlllil a. bad displacement.
My right aide would
pain me and I was
so nervous I could
not hold a glass of
water. Many times
I would have to stop
my work and sit
down or I would fall
on the" floor in a
faint. I consulted
several doctors and
every one told me the same but I kept
fighting to keep" from having the opera
tion. I had read so many times of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
- it helped my sister so I began taking it.
I have never felt tetter than I have
since then and I keephouse and am able
to do all my work. The Vegetable Com
pound is coTtainly one grand medicine."

Street, Cairo, 111.
Of course there are many serious eases
that only a surgical operation will re

the above letter, and many others like it,H
amply prove tnat many operations are
recommended when medicine in many

The supreme court this afternoon
heard arguments In the first lfegal
clash In the ouster suit against Walter
E. Wilson, state bank commissioner.
Several formal motions, as well as the
application for appointment of a com
missioner to take testimony Jn the
1 - iicacijicu w uie court.
Suit Filed Iist June.
Suit to remove Wilson from office
was filed by the attorney general's of
fice in June following instructions
from Governor Allen. The ffnvpmnr
acted following investigation by a spe
cial committee which he had named
to go into the bank department affairs.
Numerous charges of irregularity In
the handling of affairs of state banks
were incorporated in the petition for
ouster.
Wilson's term of office expires next
April. Altho the suit for his removal
was filed in June, the hearine todnv is
the first direct steps in selection of a
commissioner to hear evidence. The
motions In Wilson's case were on the
docket for ' hearing this morning, but
were continued until afternoon ses
sions. - - -
Several motions in suits of certifi
cate of deposits and guaranty fund dis
putes were also presented to the court
today. These actions resulted from
failure of the Kansas State bank at
Salina and involve payment of a large
number of claims against tiie guaranty
fund. All are based on certificates of
deposit Wsued by officers of the de
funct Salina bank.
BIG SUPREME GOUBT DOCKET i
Eighty Cases Will Be Beard Darin
WeekN in October Session.
The October session' of the July term
of'thn Kansas supreme court will open
tomorrow with a bulky docket of
eighty cases to be heard the ensuing
week. The session is the first since
July. - Decisions on the cases heard at
the July session will be handed down
next Saturday. ' -
f particular interest among the
cases to be argued this week is that
pertaining to the ouster 'proceedings
against State Bank Commissioner
Walter E. Wilson. The law . under
which the office of bank commissioner
was created provides that that official
may not be removed, if he so chooses,
without court action. - With the su
preme court therefore lies the final
action to determine whether or not
Mr. Wilson Is to retain, his office.
Grounds for, the ouster proceedings
were laid at a bearing held several
months ago before a committee of five
bankers appointed as a commission by
Governor Allen. The decision of the
commission was that Mr. Wilson should
be removed from office. The charges
involved conditions , surrounding the
failure of two state banks, at Salina
and LaCygne, and the granting of a
charter to a bank holding corporation
ot which Mr. Wilson was an official,
being at the- same time a-member of
the state charter board which granted
the charter. .
Motions "to make more definite and
certain" are pending in two of the four
cases brought in the supreme court to
compel the state banking department
to approve certificates or deposit neia
by corporations claiming to have been
depositors in the defunct salina state
bank which was under the state bank
guarantee law. The purpose of the
motions is to make clear whether the
Indebtedness claimed represents money
actually deposited in the bank or
whether the certificates were issued In
return for loans to the bank. .

PROXY FARMING NOT SUCCESS
Farm Tenantry Has Destroyed 60,000
Homes In Kansas.
- '-There are in Kansas 111,108 farms.
Over 60,000 of those-farms are occu
pied by tenants. Agriculture by proxy
is not a success and never will be. A
landless man is a homeless man.
Farm tenantry has destroyed 60,000
homes in Kansas. Farm tenantry has
deetroyedorchards, it has crippled the
nursery business, removed - houses
from the land, grubbed ud shade trees.
stripped farms of fences, depopulated
school districts and is driving the ris
ing generation off the land. What are
we going to do about it? Pass the
land tenantry amendment and give
the legislature power to meet and
solve the curse. If land tenantry can
be eliminated our population will dou
ble, taxation will be reduced, bank de
posits will increase, good roads made
possible, livestock will be increased in
number and quality.
, Painted houses and jbarns will re
place rundown shacks. The yield per
acre of corn and oa and wheat will
be increased. Lower interest rates will
prevail, but greatest of all will be 60,
000 happy homes. Jree from the dread
of an absentee landlord' Home and
Americanism will then be a reality
and no fear of Bolshevism will haunt
our state. If you don't understand the
land tenantry amendment to our con
stitution Investigate and vote under
standing. Write the ' secretary of
state. Topeka, for a pamphlet of explanation-.

TO ADVERTISE KANSAS y
Keitli Clevenger "Feels Ouf .Topdfca
in upenlns Campaign. , ...
Keith Clevenger, secretary of the
state chamber of commerce, was in
Topeka today, "leellng out" th situa
tion preparatory to a campaign here
to raise part of the $100,000 fund for
the putnose of advertising Kansas as
a good place, in which to live.
Before launching 'the ' state-Wide
campaign, Clevenger is working the
five key cities, Kansas City, Kan.,
Wichita, Hutchinson, Salina and To
peka. The $100,000 to be ralsed'will
be used to place -advertising in -agricultural
and industrial papers In tle
central western states, setting forth
the advantages wrlUch Kansas offers;
first agriculturally, and, second, indus
trially. S ..v . . - -.
"Kansas lost 40,000 in rural popula
tion in the nine- years between 1910
and 1919," Clevenger Raid. "Ohio. In
diana, southern Wisconsin, Michigan
Missouri and Illinois have lost between
85,000 and 100.000 farmers, to Ute
northwest, west, southwest ana Can
ada. Of this number. Kansas has re
ceived only E per cent. She needs, ao
per. cent ajt least to overcome her loss
in rural population in the nine-year-period
alone. Canada Is getting most
of the farmerp who are. going west, 25
per cent. Texas comes uect and Okla
homa third.
"We had a chance to swell our rural
population by; 5,000 Just recently, 'but
we refused the offer. A Mennonlte
colony in- Canada wanted to eome to
Kansas,, but . they were - mostly for
eigners and we didn't feel they would
help Kansas much agriculturally.
They also were turned -down by Mis
sissippi." -
The state-wide canrfalgn of the
state chamber of commerce may not
be launched before the first of the
year, Clevengr said.
