VISITOR SHOWN
PRIDE OF SOUTH
Grizzled Veteran Tell*
Lloyd George Jackson Was
Greatest General
BY JAMES R. NOURSE,
Universal Service Correepondent
Fredericksburg, Va., Oct. 28.—The
pride of the south in her military
heroes was indelibly impressed upon
former Premier David Lloyd George
Sunday while on a visit to the battle
fields whereon the greatest battles of
the onfederacy were fought. For the
leader of Britain’s war forces learned
that were it not for the military
genius developed by the Civil war
there wrould have been no Foch to
lead the allied forces to victory in
the World war.
Lloyd George heard this from the
lips of a grizzled Veteran of the con
federate side while standing at the
site of Grant's headquarters in the
wilderness, 16 miles north of hero,
the scene of gruelling fighting in the
campaign before Richmond.
Hear* of War Generals
The veteran had been with the
south’s most distinguished cavalry
leader. Stonewall Jackson, and had
seen him shot and fall on the spot
now marked by a memorial monu
ment.
"You can say all you want to about
the great leaders in the World war,”
he said to Lloyd George, "but that
war 7vevrr developed any men equal
to Jackson or Lee.”
"Ah! but how about Foch” in
quired Lloyd George.
"There never would have been any
Foch if JacksQn and Lee had not
come flist," replied the veteran, the
look in hin eyes attesting his love for
those southern leaders.
"Belligerent to the last,” was Lloyd
George’s comment as he turned
away to rejoin in his party.
The former premier enjoyed his
visit to the southern battlefields.
Accompanied by Admiral Grayson,
a native Virginian, he went first to
the Salem Church battle field, then
through Chancellorsville to the
Stonewall Jackson monument, which
he inspected with great interest. The
drive to the wilderness and Grant’s
headquarters followed.
Washington Farm. Visited
He visited Washington farm where
young George is reputed to have once
annihilated a cherry tree and from
whose edge he is said to have
thrown a silver dollar clear across
the Rappahannock. He saw the fa
mous stone block where slaves were
sold and hired prior to the Civil war,
and the city hall, in which a recep
tion for General La Fayette was held
in 1824.
Lloyd George also learned that in
this city, rich in traditions of early
Americanism, the first resolution de
claring that America should be in
dependent of Great Britain, was
passed in 175, that John Paul Jones,
who first raised the Stars and Stripes
over the American navy, lived on
Main street near the spot that every
president, Washington to Buchanan,
was entertained at the “sentry box.”
Fredericksburg furnished seven
presidents of the United States,
namely, Washington, Jefferson, Madi
son, Monroe, Harrison. Tyler and
Taylor.
The place where Lincoln reviewed
the union army before the battle of
Fredericksburg and where General
Burnside had his headquarters, was
shown to Lloyd George and he was
told that within a radius of 16 miles
of Fredericksburg more battles were
fought and more officers and pri
vates were killed and woynded than
in any similar territory in the Uni
ted States.
BANK RECEIVER
TAKES (IP TASK
Refuses to Discuss Problems
Faced By Institution
At Mitchell
Mitchell, S. D., Oct. 26.—(Special.)—
Paul C. Keyes, appointed by the
United States comptroller of currency
as receiver for the First National
Bank of Mitchell, which was closed
last week by the federal bank exam
iner, has arrived in Mitchell to take
charge of the business of the bank.
Mr. Keyes is also receiver for the
First National bank of Eureka, S. D..
and the Corn Belt National bank of
Scotland, but his work at the First
National bank here will keep him in
Mitchell the greater part of the time.
"Re-organization of the bank is be
ing discussed,” Mr. Keyes, says, "but
I cannot give any idea as to whether
or not the contemplated re-organiza
tion will be possible. All the assets
and liabilities of the Institution must
be cheeked over before any statement
can be made on this question- If the
bank is not re-organized the creditors
will be given an opportunity to file
their claims and they will receive
dividends on these claims as they are
liquidated. I cannot give any idea,
however, at this time how much the
creditors will be paid on the dollar.

MADOO WANTS
ENFORCEMENT
OF “DRY” LAWS
Candidate for Democratic
Nomination Follows Lead
of Henry Ford
BY JAMES MARTIN MULLER
Universal Service Correspondent.
New York, Oct. 28.—William Gibbs
McAdoo, who is known to be actively
organizing his forces with a view to
securing the democratic nomination
for president. Sunday came out flat
footedly for prohibition enforcement.
His empathlc words on the pro
hibition question followed those of
Henry Ford, who said he would sup
port President Coolldge In the nxet
campaign if the president would en
force the prohibition laws. Ford’s in
terview was printed widely.
While Mr. AcAdoo did not say he
would use the military and naval
forces to enforce the law, as Mr.
Ford did, Mr. McAdoo did say he
would like to see every resource of
the government used to the utmost
to wipe out the disgrace of prohibi
tion violation. He Intimated that the
efforts so far made on the part of
the government showed inefficiency.
Comparing enforcement of the 15th
and 18th amendments, Mr. McAdoo
said:
“I fear some people do not dis
criminate as regards the difference
between the two amendments. The
15th does not carry with it the con
current power clause, which, as
regards the 18th amendment, makes
It obligatory upon the states to adopt
legislation so the state government*
can co-operate with the federal gov
ernment in enforcing the Volstead
law.
la Duty of States
"It is the duty of the states to see
that the prohibition law is enforced
Just as much as it is the duty of the
• federal government to do so.”
Mr. McAdoo was rerained many
federal and more state laws are “dead
letter.” for no attempt Is made to en
force them. He has told that millions
of dollars are bet on presidential
elections. Sabbath observance laws
are violated In many places and that
up. that many such laws should be
repealed. They are a great menace
to our country If they are not prac
there is betting on norse racing in
violation of the law.
Mr. McAdoo answered:
“Most of these laws were passed
years ago when they seemed to fit
the order of things more than they
do today. Ail laws, however, should
be enforced. I feel that tliere should
be a cleaning up of these laws which,
In this day, appear to b.e obsolete and
incapable of enforcement because
public sentiment is not back of them
as when these so-called 'bluelaws'
were adopted. I mean by a cleaning
ticable and are not enforced.
Should Enforce “Dry” Lav/.
"The prohibition law, however, Is
a very recent law. The people of this
generation adopted it. Fresumably
the people think it fits into the
scheme of things for the good of the
country. Therefore there is no rfaeon
why we should consider the liquor
prohibition law in the same class as
other prohibition laws.
"This law must be enforced as long
as It is embodied in the constitution
and it is just as incumbent on the
state governments to entorce It as
it is upon the federal government."
Mr. McAdoo told the following little
story regarding the 15th amendment
and the negro voter in the south:
"Negroes are required in .some
states, where fhey appear at the polls
to vote, to explain some clause in
the constitution as a test for their
fitness to vote. In Mississippi ‘Uncle
Mose’ appeared at the polling place.
He was asked: ’Uncle Mose, what is
the meaning of the clause In the
United States constitution which
says the right of habeas corpus shall
not be suspended?’ ‘Oh. that means
that a nigger can’t vote, I reckon,’
answered the old darkly. The answer
amused the election officials and
they let him vote.”
WHOLE FAMILIES ARE
WORKING IN FIELDS.
lanKton, s. u.. Oct. Z6.—(Special)
—The labor problem In Yankton
county, so far as corn picking Is con
cerned, Is being solved by the farmers
themselves. There la a dearth of help
for harvesting one of the biggest
crops the county has seen for years, In
spite of a wage of 8 and 9 cents per
bushel being offered.
But the farmers are solving the
difficulty by doing the picking them
aelves, aided by their families. Home
establishments are being closed tem
porarily. in scores of cases, and
everybody in the family except the
babes adjourns to the corn fields to
help. EJlther they do not care to pay
the high prevailing wage, or help was
impossible to get. Practically all corn
is ready to crib now, and farmers
are in the fields all over the county.
A local labor agency reports that It
is unable to supply enough men for
the demand in spite of the l lrb
wages offered, considered very higl'
since the corn is so good.

“PROSKiSSlVES”
SOUND WAR CRY
Appointment of Kellogg as
Ambassador Arouses
Johnson Supporters
BY CHARLES N. WHEELER
Universal Service Correspondent
Chicago, Ort. 2S.—Chicago support
ers of Senator Hiram W. Johnson of
California Sunday sent him urgent
appeals to return east Immediately
nnd announce himself as a candidate
for the republican nomination for
president.
Washington advices that Vrt'Stdfiit
Cooiidge had tendered the ambassa
dorial post at the court of St. Janice
to Former Senator Frank B. Kellogg
of St. Paul, has smashed the "watch
ful waiting” program of the progres
sives and farmer-labor forces all
over the middle and northwestern
sections of the country.
The reported selection of Kellogg
Is now held to be "overt act" the anti
administration leaders were waiting
for. They believe they are now jus
tified, without disclosing unseemly
haste, in joining issue with the White
House for a real battle for the presi
dency next year.
Kellogg was one of the mild reser*
vatlonists in the fight on Former
President Wilson’s supergovornment
laid down at Versailles. He is classed
as one of the pro-internationalists,
and his selection at this moment is
held by the progressives to be full
of Jeopardy.
Alarmed Over Selection
They are alarmed over the Kellogg
selection, following so close on the
heels of Lloyd George's visit to Sec
retary of State Hughes and the ac
ceptance. by Great Britain of Mr.
Hughes’ plan for putting the United
States into the European controver
sy.
Accordingly the Chicago sponsors
of Senator Johnson are now up in
arms and demand that he take the
'ield again and at once as the cham
pion of the "America first” forces,
as he did In the great battle in the
senate over the Wilson league. Sena
tors, Frazier, Shipstead, Wheeler of
Montana and Magnus Johnson al
ready have sounded the war cry.
Senator La Follelte, who soon will
be back in this country, is relied up
on to take the lead against President
Coolidge.
Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania,
already out on the firing line on the
prohibition enforcement issue will
be urged to keep the Pennsylvania
delegation out of the White House
column.
Brookhart All Primed
Brookhart of Iowa also is primed
for a slushing campaign against the
! “reactionaries.”
After getting Senator Johnson into
the field as a candidate against Pres
ident Coolidge, if that can be achiev
ed, the first big move on the anti
administration program is a call to
the progressive and farmer-labor
bloc in the new senate to block the
confirmation of Kellogg, if his name
is submitted.
This, they believe, will open the
whole field of attack on Kellogg, and
is bound to bring into the fight again
the seating of Former Senator New-,
berry of Michigan.
Just what Senator Johnson’s reac
tion to the Kellogg proposal is has
not yet been ascertained but several
very indignant letters went forward
from Chicago Sunday to the Califor
nian, Insisting that he put away
all other considerations now but the
fight to save the United States from
European entanglements.
Should Senator Johnson reply fa
vorably to the appeals he will receive
this week, the national campaign for
the selection of delegate? to the re
publican convention will be opened in
Chicago within a fortnight.
In that event, It is tentatively plan
ned to put Johnson delegates in every
congressional disrict in Illinois and
go to battle without quarter asked or
given.

EVERY farm need* two automobiles, one of which A»«»M

The open touring car is best for general farm use, carrying pas*

dise, but for cold or rainy weather, and for church or social use
the family needs a dosed car, either a 2-passenger Utility
Coupe as illustrated, or the 5'passenger Sedan. The extra
large rear compartment Is a feature of the Coupi.
These closed cars are. very finely made,-furnished, upholstered
and trimmed. The windows are of plate glass and he
lowered, providing as much air as an open car, yet affording
full protection against wind, rain, snow or cold when raised.
With a second car on a farm, one is always available for those
at home when the other car Is out.
