Three Great Men.
I was making a speech at a banquet
mad In the course of my remarks said,
“America has produced only three
great men—Washington, Lincoln and
I, myself-” Loud laughter drowned
fte reet of my remarks. I had Intend-

But the lnughter got my coat and I
had to sit down without saying any-
thing more.—Exchange.

WHEN KIDNEYS
ACT TOO OFTEN
H bothered with that form of kidney
tsouWe which oauses too frequent or ex-
cessive passages of urine, don’t expect re-
lief from medicines that are intended for
oomraon kidney complaint. These remedies
generally are intended to increase kidney
action.
Liquid Shu Make should always be used
where the kidneys are over active during
the day or at night. It ia not a cure for
all forms of kidney trouble, but is intended
for cvcr-activity of the kidneys of both
ihildrcn and adults alike, especially for
children bothered with kidney action at
night.
Any druggist has Liquid Shu Make ia

get it through his wholesaler for you. Adr.

With All Party Lines Withdrawn, As
Members Stand Out For
Clean-Cut Ameri-
canism. '
DOUG AND MARY ARE MARRIED

Quick Action Divorce, Nevada Style,
Followed By Secret Marriage
In Lob Anglee
Lob Angeles.—Mary Plckford and
Douglas Fairbanks, moving picture
stars, were married secretly at the
home of llev. Whitcomb Broughter
here.
Miss Plckford eariy this month ob-
tained a divorce at Mlndqn, Nev., from
Albany, N. Y.—Five socraltsts, LouIj
Waldman, August Claessens, Charier
Solomon, Samuel A. DeWltt and Sam-
uel Orr, all of New York City, the en.
tire delegation of their party in tho
New York assembly, were expelled
from the legislature.
The majorities In favor of unseating
the men, suspended on the openlbg
day of the legislative session on chary,
e» of disloyalty, were substantial the
strongest being 116 to 28.
The five have been under suspen
sron since the charges were'file!
against them on the opening day of
the 1920 session, January 7, and the
judiciary committee of the assembly
was directed to investigate them.
Voting came aft r twenty-two hours
or oratory, parliamentary wrangles
atfd filibustering.
Owing to the fact that the men were
expelled after midnight on March 31
there can be no special elections to fill
their seats In the assembly unless an
extraordinary session of the legislat-
ure is to be convened.
Theodore Roosevelt, republican, vot-
ed against expulsion, having argued
with the assembly during the night
that It had no right to exclude the
party.
By its action the assembly estab-
lished a precedent as never before has
an entire party delegation been eject-
ed from any legislative body.
Party lines disappeared in the vot-
ing. The democratic minority, whicn
was supposed to be pretty well united
in favor of reseating the socialists,
polled a majority of one vote in favo.’
of expelling Waldman, Claessens and
Solomon, the democratic vote on thes<?
being 18 for unseating and 17 for ro-
stering them to their former leglslat
lve status. Twenty one democrats vot-
ed to reseat DeWitt and Orr, while 14
favored their expulsion.
The next step In the fight agalns*
the socialist party, characterized as a
"traitorous party" by the assembly iu
diciary committee, which recommend
ed, after investigation into the charge
of disloyalty against the five social-
ist assemblymen, that they be denied
seats In the assembly was when bills
designed to carry out the recommen-
dations of the committee that appro-
priate legislation be enacted to the.
end that hereafter no party, group or
political organization in which aliens
are accepted as members, or whose
policies, or program are responsive to
or determined by an organization, na
tional or state, composed of persons
not members of the electorate of tho
nation or state, shall be privileged to

San Francisco.—Herbert Hoover
telegraphed the Hoover Republican
Club of California that he would ac-
cept the republican nomination lor
president, “If it is felt that the is-
sues necessitate it, and it is demanded
of me.” Hoover aligned himself wiili
those favoring the United States’ en
try into the league of nations with res-
ervations ‘‘safeguarding American tra-
ditions and Interests” and declared he
differed just as strongly with "the
extreme view advocated against any
league at all” as he did with "the
extreme position taken by the presi-
dent on participation In purely Euro-
pean affairs.”
He declared he had refrained hither-
to from entering partisan political dis-
cussion,-pending clarafication of di-
verging views on the great new issues,
but that recent developments in the
treaty situation stagnation in econom-
ic adjustments and urgent represen-
tations regarding the situation in Cal-
ifornia has impelled him to "confirm
the action that my republican friends
there have already taken without con-
sulting me."

Hie Disturbed Repose.
The clock struck the hour of three.
The wife rose on one elbow and lis-
tened. Then she nudged her side part-
ner.
“John," she whispered, "‘there’s a
burglar downstairs."
“The deuce there Is." exclaimed
John, Jumping out of bed. “I’ll show
him."
He crept downstairs. There was the
sound of a crash, a revolver shot and
the sullen thud of men engoged In
mortal combnt. Then a window
smashed and all was still. The terri-
fied wife turned on the light and hur-
ried Into the hall.
“John!" she called timorously.
"All right, my dear," called John. “I
found him. All he had wagjiixty cents.’’

of It Is all right, but it’s that blasted

“Relief from guard duty I" ejaculated
the other. “Man, you’re cuckoo I
There’s nothing to being relieved from
guard duty. It’s being on guard duty
that’s hell."
“No," maintained the first “It’s the
relief. Why, the other day they put
me on guard for two heurs, and It
wasn’t bad at all Just standing around

nnd knowing that I didn't have to do
It myself, but then whei the time for
relief came the corporal came up and
