A NEWSPAPER OF THE BETTER SORT

W. J. B. has been buying Lib-
erty Bonds again. Who said he
was a pacifist?
The Journal probably carries
more automobile advertising
than any other country weekly
in this part of the country.
There's a reason. Big advertis-
ing concerns do not place con-
tracts at random.
We hereby submit the name
of Thomas Pryor Gore, of Ok-
lahoma—Lord help us—for ad-
dition to the roll of Unitea
States Senators to be ousted
from their seats in Congress.
Gore is Lafollette's most able
lieutenant.
year. Entirely aside from the
fact that there is no earthly rea-
son why the present president
should not perform another
year, we are much more inter-
ested in who will make a good
secretary for next year. The
Journal editor is now acting in
that capacity for the fourth
successive year, and we are
herewith again tendering our
resignation, effective immed-
iately after the close of the
coming show. We are rather
piggish about good things al-
right, but we really think we
ought to divide the honor (?)
with some of the other fellows
—not to mention the hard work.
Nominations are now in order.

UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU SICK.
D0N1 STAY BILIOUS, CONSTIPATED
"Godson's Liver Tone" WiH Clean Your
Sluggish Liver Better Than Calomel
and Can Hot Salivate.
Calomel makes you sick; you lose a
day's work. Calomel is quicksilver and
it salivates; calomel injures your liver.
If you are bilious; feel laxy, sluggish
and all knocked out, if your bowels are
constipated and your head aches or
stomach is sour, just take a spoonful of
harmless Dodson's Liver Tone instead
of using sickening, salivating calomel.
Dodson's Liver Tone is real liver medi-
| cine. You'll know it ne*t morning be-
i cause you will wake up feeling fine,
| your liver will be working, your head*
| ache and dizziness gone, your stomach
will be sweet and bowels regular. You
| will feel like working. You'll be cheer-
| fill; full of energy, vigor and ambition.
Your druggist or dealer sells you a
50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone
under my personal guarantee that it
wiU clean your sluggish liver better than
nasty calomel; it wont make you sick
and you can eat anything you want
without being salivated. Your druggist
guarantees that each spoonful will start
your liver, clean your bowels and
straighten you up by morning or you
get your money back. Children gladly
take Dodson's Liver Tone because it is
pleasant tasting and doesn't gripe or
cramp or make them sick.
- I am selling millions of bottles of
Dodson's Liver Tone to people who have
found that this pleasant, vegetable, liver
medicine takes the plftce of dangerous
calomel. Buy one bottle on my sound,
reliable guarantee. Ask your druggist
about me.

The campaign for the sale of
the second issue of Liberty {
Loan Bonds opened this week in
the big cities all over the coun-
try Geary did not do particu-
larly well on the first issue. Let
us make a record for Geary on
this second issue.
There is a dearth of interest
in the world's series this year.
We'll venture to assert that not I
20 men in Geary can tell off |
hand which teams will be in the I
contest, whereas in former
years it has for a week been the
all absorbing topic.
It would seem the powers j
that be in the Ozark Trail or-
ganization are very willing to!
appease Geary for the loss of
the 0. T. The truth is that
Geary has a crew of live wires
and road buildws and boosters
that the 0. T. outfit needs in its
business.
The war and prosperity re-
sulting from the war is playing
havoc with the ^killed labor
market. Printers, barbers, me-
chanics, skilled help of all kinds
is getting scarcer every week.
It's not particularly a question
of wages; the men simply have
good jobs—those who are left—
and are sticking.
Seventy-five men, the remain-
der of Blaine county's quota for
the first draft army, are leaving
this week for Ft. Travis, Tex.,
where they will enter training.
This completes the draft pro-
gram until time comes for the
raising of the second army. In
the judgment of many this will
not be until spring, when a new
quota will be called for exami-
naton. See list elsewhere in
this issue.
There is a lot of discussion
these days about the injustice I
of the government in the man-!
ner in which it is regulating
prices. This note of protest is
not without sound grounds as
the situation now stands, but it
is evidently the intention of the
government to regulate prices
all down the line and they evi-
dently mean to take the items
they consider most important
first. We think that in time
most all the essentials will be!
government regulated. The j
people should bear in mind that!
regulation of the prices of each ;
individual item tor the entire
nation is a monumental task,'
requiring a lot of time and care-,
ful study—and a good man\
mistakes are going to be made j
before and equitable schedule
is perfected.

TO THOSE WHO HAVE
THOUGHT OF BUYING
A CHALMERS CAR
An arrangement has been
effected whereby the Max-
well Motor Company has
leased for a period of five
years the properties of the
Chalmers Motor Company.
The immediate effect of this
transaction is:
1. The Chalmers car will be
continued under the Chal-
mers name for a period of
five years.
2. Those distributors or deal-
ers who have been suc-
cessfully marketing the
Chalmers car will continue
to do so.
The appraisers of the prop-
erty and their engineers
report the current Chalmers
model a good car and the
Chalmers plant a wonderful
factory.
The first move we have made
is to increase the efficiency
of the Chalmers organization.
The second move was to
place behind the Chalmers
car the resources of the Max-
well Motor Company.
This is a business transaction
between two automobile
companies of probably no
more than ordinary interest
to the public but important
to you if you have thought
of buying a Chalmers for
these obvious reasons:
1. You obtain a good car.
2. You obtain a car produced
in a magnificently equip-
ped plant
3. Yoja obtain a car pro-
duced by an organization
materially strengthened by
the addition of able ex-
ecutives.
4. You obtain a car produced
by an organization mate-
rially strengthened by
additional financial re-
sources.
5. You obtain a car from
a distributor or dealer
who will have the support
of this organization.
In this way all three of us
prosper in the transaction.
