"OUR MORGAN COUNTY DEMOCRAT •rConutlMTllIc, Otal*. Bittbllih«4 1871 RAYMOND DURBIN. Editor and Mgr. Pulilicatlon Day—Published every Thursday entered at the McConnels ville r-w/Mtc.llice as second-class matter. $1.50 l'ER YEAR—IN ADVANCE THURSDAY, SOVEM15KU 10, 1921 WILSON AT ARLINGTON President Harding could do no more gracious thing than to extend an invitation to former President Wilson to be present and have a prominent part in the ceremonies at Arlington cemetery on Armistice Day. When the nation is doing hon or to the dead who died for us, through the interment of this unknown boy, what more fitting than that his commander-in-chief should be among those taking part in such formal honors? Woodrow Wilson was our chief in those days. He led the nation through this war, and as he typified the nation at that time, he should have a large part in this ceremony. History will have to fix the place of the late president, but no man, how ever partisan he may be, can deny to him an idealism that was far ahead of the vision of the other nations. While we are honoring the dead, who more fitting than one who is equally a wounded comrade—whose life, while not given, was shattered by his service in the same war? He who was commander-in-chief of those we honor should have a part in the ceremony.—Sandusky Regis ter-Republican. AM liAKSA IH)K A UVIIY DENOUNCED The following resolution was adopted, a copy of which was sent to President Harding: "Be it resolved, That the words of George Harvey at the Pilgrims* banquet in London are a miserable calumny, worthy only Of a little mind, dominated by envy and jeal ousy and incapable of appre ciating the higher ideals of life and, therefore ascribing to others the only motives which it is able to understand that we therefore, respectively rep resent to the president of the United States that the said George Harvey is unworthy to hold any office whatsoever in the gift of the American people, and that a public rebuke and immediate recall would be pun ishment mild in form compar ed with the enormity of the of fense which is committed." No. the foregoing was not adopted •by a Democratic convention, or po litical meeting of any kind. It came from the American Legion National convention, which met last week in Kansas City—a gathering of the sol diers of the late world war, which represented the millions of Anieri can ex-soldiers and the highest type of American patriotism. Still Hard in?.' has never by word, or action of any kind, let it be known that he disapproved in the least, thri Harvey utterances, so but one conclusion can be drawn, and that is that they are the President's sentiments also. And why doubt that they are, since was it not about the same time he killed the soldiers' adjusted federal compensation bill? It was this man Harvey who con cocted the venom that poisoned the minds of thousands against Presi dent Wilson. And by the way, this same American Legion passed, amid loud cheers, a resolution extending greetings to Wilson, the former com mander-in-chief of the American army and navy, wishing him a speedy and complete recovery from an illness incurred in the service of his country. What more fitting feature of an observance of Armistice Day could there be. while bereaved nation mourns 'or its di. ad, :-nd rejoices with its li'Mng. than for press, pul 1"' neus organizations, societies. in«li•. iclunis to reiterate that i \ev. de mand made hv the American Legion I11 \mbassador Har- who if hi- words w.-re true in ary sn--e ol of v or! v r' -istie»j bay would m:ke a i,d a hollow mockery optional shame. HO.MH PAP Kit \Vi KK This is "S u o t-Your-Hoine Paper-Week'" in the United States This week the editor has a perfect license to forget his modesty, toot his own horn, arid boost his paper as hard as he does hundredsof other en terprises. It is also the week set aside by the home town newspaper fraternities to try and add as many new names to their lists as possible and collect back subscriptions that are due. Speaking from actual experience we know that running a newspaper is a mighty hard game. Should the «ditor of a country paper remembei all the knocks he gets during a year •ompare them with the mighty few boosts he receives, and knowing that Ihe coming year he will have just as many to face, he certainly would llirow up the game. Most readers want the editor to tell the plain truth about everything and everj k®dy except themselves. Someone lias said that running a newspaper like running a hotel—only different A man goes to a hotel and orders his Hnner. The chances are that eome Iking will be brought to him that he not like. What does he do, get mad and quit the hotel? No, he simply sets the one dish aBid**, eats what he likes, and keeps on patron- Mag is the hotel. Note the compari son with the newspaper. A sub scriber may take a paper for years, and enjoy every line of it, but some day let even two or ttti-ee lines be published that he dislikes, but which please hundreds of other readers, then what happens—"stop my pa per,"* ?. Zip Bang. While we may feel that our news paper lot is a hard one, and there is no getting around the fact that it is a strenuous game, still we realize that ours is an easy one compared with hundreds of others in the same position. We believe in this com munity and have stood back of it. We have made careful investigations and know whereof we speak when we say that for the population of the county, there is not a county in the state that can boast of such a large subscription list of steady sub scribers, as can the Morgan County Democrat. Neither can a similar community boast of a better county weekly paper, or even one so good. We have given this community our unstinted support the community has reciprocatcd by giving this paper its approval. The two working to gether have done much to make this the high standing splendid commun ity that it is. CELEIIRATE ARMISTICE DAY We are glad this community is to give proper recognition to Armistice Day. Friday morning beginning at 9:30 short exercises will be held at Rocky Glen sanatorium. This will be in honor of those who in making Armistice day possible, were hit hardest, save those who gave their lives. A number of the sanatorium boys are down, and the manager of that institution has expressed it as his wish that as many of the citizens asi possible go to the sanatorium for the exercises, and to greet these boys who are unable to be out. In the afternoon a splendid program which is published in this paper, has been arranged by the American Legion, and will be given in the Opera House. The mayor has issued a proclamation in accordance with the proclamation of the President of the United States, asking the citizens here to suspend all labor And busi ness at 12 o'clock Friday for a per iod of two minutes and devote such period to remembrance of all those who gave their lives on the altar of their country and also asks that all places of business close during the time of the exercises in the opera house. Friday evening at 7:30 the men of the Malta M. E. church Bible class will entertain at the church, members of the American Legion, and all ex-service men, including members of the G. A. R. Sunday morning at 10 o'clock Rev. R. O. McRae of the local M. E. church will conduct special services at the church appropriate to Armistice Day, and has issued an invitation to the G. A. R., and auxiliaries, the American Legion, and all ex-service men to be present. All exercises should, and we feel sure will be, well attended. OVH NEW MAYOR Dr. Donald G. Ralston, our newly elected mayor, is one of our best young men, of clean habits and splendid ability. He is a busy man. Besides looking after his extensive practice as a physician, he is com mander of Malconta Post, American Legion. He is secretary of the chamber of commerce, and has been selected as captain of the new guard company just organized here. It is a common expression that if there is a duty to perform, it is the busy man who will do it best, and we feel sure it will be true in this case. He was nominated and elected as an indepen dent candidate, and he will fill his new office as mayor with the same marked ability, he shoe's in looking after his profession, and the other activities with which he is engaged. With a man like John O. Day, newly elected mayor of Malta, and Dr. Ralston for this place, the head offices of the twin cities will be in competent hands. a i hti/itii.\l news notes Pisgah Institute The institute season was opened by the recent meeting at Pisgah, Friday and Saturday, Nov. 4-5, Bloom township.

Hervey, cow tester, in charge. In the Washington County Ohio Testing Association cooperat ing with Morgan and Wood coun ties, we find 17 cows making the honor roll for October, 1921. C. E. Chase of Stockport leans with his registered Holstein. "Mus kingum Belle," a 3-year old cow. Her record for the month was 2043 Ihp. milk and 75.fi lbs. of hutterfat. This cow is a wonderful type and constitution and we predict a won derful future for her. Of the 17 cows producing over 40 lbs. of fat, 4 were registered Jerseys, and the rest grade Jerseys, with the exception of the Holstein owned by Mr. Chase. Following is a list of owners of 40 lb. cows, and the number of cows making the record: Luther Miller, Marietta, 5. all Jerseys W. M. Har rington, 3 Jerseys C. E. Chase, Stockport. 3 Holsteins J. W. Moore Son. Warner, O.. 2 Jerseys. The following had one each: J. B. Hick man, Marietta, O., Earl Bowman, Chesterhill, Dr. C. S. Dye. McCon nelsville. and S. B. Tallman, Wash ington, W. Va. We have started in this part of the country what we hope and ex nect to develop into one of the great- Jersey renters of the sta'e or states. We as an association, are young, but we "xpeet to grow a great deal ie t.be future.

These rows have been fresh n'nee sprina. and the fact that thev are doing so well is because he is an excellent feeder. Suvs Few Children CJet tli«» Right Food "Malnutrition is common in all parts of America and among all classes," said Prof. J. F. Lyman of the Ohio State University, sneaking before the extension workers of Ohio at their recent meeting. "A nutrition survey in a state not far from Ohio recently revealed 57 per cent of the children getting enough getting properly balanced to theii nutritive requirements. "Th^i main deficiencv v-as in vita mine-benring foods, such as vege tables, fruit and milk. Failure to provide such food for growing children leads to conditions which differ only in degree from those in the Balkan countries. There, as here, the nrinciral lack is in vita mines. There they do not have such foods here we do not seem to know how properly to use what we have." Find Freight and Labor Stili High Wide differences between prices "aid to farmers for their products, to cifv workers for fh^ir labor, and to railroads for carrying freight, are analyzed in the latest monthly nn'ce report made by economists of the Ohio State University. The nresent unbalanced state of indus try these economists attribute to such differences. Prof. .T. I. Falconer, head of the university's Department of Rural Economics, makes the report. Study ing current prices he finds farm pro ducts bringing 22 percent more than they did before the war, factory wage •rales 100 percent higher than In ^re-war days, and hand laborers get ting 84 percent more. Railroad freieht rates, he says, #re ISO perceat above pre-war lev MORGAN. COUNTY DEMOCRAT, McCONNELSVILLE, OHIO, els, and adds that "Though the re cent decrease of about 28 percent granted in Ohio on gravel, sand and road material may mark a beginning in necessary reductions, it is barely a beginning and will affect but little the general level of freight rates." "Before there can be a normal in terchange of products between agri culture and industry there must be a closer relation between the levels of farm products, wages and freight rates," Prof. Falconer declares. 600 Farm Children to Visit University Something over 600 Ohio farm boys and girls who toiled in field and kitchen throughout last sum mer's heat, to win county champion ships in their projects will come in to their reward during the third week in November, "Club Week" at the Ohio State University. They will be brought to Colum bus as a prize trip, lodged for the week in the most modern of down town hotels, and be guests of honor throughout a week of talks, stunts, and events arranged especially for them by officials of the university. The youngsters will observe farm hours, rising in time for a six o'clock breakfast. Separate instruction in agriculture and home economics for boys and girls will begin at 8 o'clock at- mid-morning there will be an hour of group recreation, con ducted by specialists in organized play on the university staff. General meetings for both the boys and girls will come mainly in the afternoon, and at night. At these meetings, say those arranging the program, the effort will be less to inform than to inspire. Leading men and women of the farm world will talk to the youngsters and try to open up to them a conception of the opportunity for achievement at home. At the afternoon meeting on Frl day, the last day of the conference, county championship medals will be presented by Dean Alfred Vivian of the College of Agriculture, and boy and girl state champions in farm and home contests will tell in their own words how they carried on the work that won them honor.

In the Present (Today) we are privileged to use the steady, brilliant Electric light—the product of Science. In the Past thousands of people went through life suffering from ail ments that seem to be incurable. In the Present (Today) thousands of people are finding out that these same ailments yield readily to CHI ROPRACTIC—the modern scientific method of removing the cause of Dis ease. .!&•!. i' \J v K' com:* a- THI5 X'PCNIl :i v iT'.

Is it any wonder there is a lack of function and so called dis-ease? Chiropractic adjust ments will restore such vertebrae to normal and nature does the rest. Health is then certain, inevitable. In the Past, the idea, a mistaken one, was to try and cure the effect without making any effort to find the CAUSE. In the Present (Today) the SCIEN CE OF CHIROPRACTIC strikes right at the root of the matter, adjusts the cause and Nature, the Great Healer is given the opportunity to make the cure.
