Austria, she declares, is suffering from dismemberment. "With its body cut away and nothing you might say. but the stomach remaining, Austria, faces starvation," Mrs. Getzschman said today. Charles' Coup a Joke She visited Senator Hitchcock dur ing her short, stay in the capital. The American relief which is being given the people of Austria, she said, is largely being diverted in such a way that it does not bring the great est benefit to the people. Sseretary Iloover told Senator Hitchcock today that the relief work being done in Austria and Czecho-Slovakia now k wholly in the hands of the govern ments of the two countries. He said that there was only one American there now connected with his department here. The Austrians took the attempted coup of former Emperor Charles ar; very much cf a joke, Mrs. Getzsch man said. "There was much 1110:0 n bout that in the American news papers than in the papers in Vienna," she said. "Over there they just laughed about it." Austrian exchange has fallen so low that an apartment house capable cf housing eleven families could bo bought in Vienna for $400, she saiJ. Rut ?4C0 is about 1.000,000 crow .if. in Austria at the present rate of ex change. "You could not spend a dollar a day in Vienna unlets you literally threw the money away," Mrs. Getz schman said.

Louis Kroehler, proprietor hard ware store, 521 Main street, says: "Some time ago I had pains in my back. I was so lame I could hardly stoop and my kidneys were weak. I had a tired, languid feeling all the time and headaches were common. I got a supply of Doan's Kidney Pills from Rynott & Co's. drug store and began taking them. They soon re lieved me of my troubles. I am pleas ed to recommend such a valuable remedy." The above statement was given on April 10. 1912 and on May 12, 1920. Mr. Kroehler added: "I am of the opinion that Doan's Kidney Pills are a splendid remedy for kidney ail ments. I haven't needed them in a number of years and would certainly use them again should I ever have kidney disoruer. I have great faith in Doan's." Price 60c, at all dealers.

HORSE TRIES TO OUTRUN AUTO The following story may sound a little "fishy" but nevertheless facts are facts and Miss Louise Newhall, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Al New- hall can testify to the truth of the same: She had started home from town on Monday afternoon after school was out, driving the faithful old family horse that had passed his twenty-third year. The home Is sev eral miles south of town. When they were about a mile from home is where the horse thought that he would show the world a thing or two. An auto was "lazying" along ahead, the horse pricked up his ears, threw up his head and loosened his old Joints and muscles and the way he shook the dust from his old hoofs and lit out was almost enough to put Pat L's record on the fence. He ac tually went around that car with a snort of anger. Unfortunately the buggy was overturned and Miss Lou ise was thrown out on her head and rendered unconcious for a short time. At the present time she is getting along quite well respite the fact that she is considerably bruised up. The horse continued to run until he reached home and as a result the buggy and harness were badly dam aged. It is curious to know Just what was wrong with the old horse or what he was up to bu this will al ways be his secret. It is said that the auto belonged to Dan Fentlman and some think that he must have had some horse tonic in the car and it was this that the horse wanted. Elmwood Leader-Echo.

Wescott's Sons EVERYBODY'S STORE" SAY REAViS WiLL NOT BE CANDIDATE Republican Politicians on Inside are Certain He Will Retire at End of Present Tenn. Republican politicians who are generally on the inside are'quite cer tain that Congressman C. F. Reavis of the first district will not be a candidate - for , re-election. They , are not so sure but that he may resign before his term1 expires, as the op portunity to enter the law business with a big New York firm may not remain open for, him until the ex piration of his present term March 4, 1923. This is not' purely local gossip, says the Lincoln State Journal. It is quite current in Falls City, Auburn and Nebraska City, where apparently the word has been allowed to go out so that local ambitions may be nur tured. In a recent interview Mr. Reavis denied that he intended to locate in Omaha, but did not deny the possibility of his going to New York. Mr. Reavis personal friends have known for some time that he was not altogether satisfied with con tinuing in congress. He has been frank in saying that he was unable to save anything in Washington on the salary of $7,500 a year, that he would have been better off if he had stayed at the law business, and that as he grew older the necessity of lay z i I The flew Van lleussn Soft Collar! i The Soft Collar with the starch collar appearance.

A number cf congressmen of legal talents have gone to New York. When Congressman Good, of Iowa, a close friend, quit congress a little while ago to enter a New York law firm, Mr. Reavis said he would like to have such an opportunity himself, and it is understood now that just such an opportunity has come to him, so good a one that he does not feel his duty to his family will per mit him to refuse it. ? This is the form that gossip is taking. When asked, about it, Mr. Reavis has replied that he would make any. announcement . as-)t?his future in bi: own.
