Huge Demand for
Sargon Smashing
World's Records
If anyone told you that one single
medicine had relieved tens of thous
ands of suffering: men and women in
all walks of life of their health
troubles and that it had put thous
ands of other men and women un
able to find relief back to work, it
would sound impossible, wouldn't!
it?
But that is just exactly what is
happening right here in this state.
Not only has it brought them new
found health and strength, but it
has given them new energy, new
vitality and a new lease on life it
self. In many cases, the results
have been so remarkablt that many
people have bought it and sent it
to friends in other states, while
other thousands have written grate-
ful letters of praise.
The wonderful success that Sar-
gon and Sargon Soft Mass Pills have
achieved in only one years time
.imply staggers the Imagination
In the state of California alone
where it was introduced on April
16 of this year, it has required the
astonishing total of nine solid car
loads or more than 200.000 bottles
to supply the demand. Kansas

most widely talked-of medicine in
the world today.
When Sargon was first given to
the world just one year ago, it was
hailed as a triumph in the field of
modem medicine. Many well known
authorities who watched its develop
ment freely predicted that it would
become the one great outstanding,
health-giving remedy of the age. But
the men of science who labored for
years to perfect it little dreamed it
would become such a great boon to
humanity in so short a time.
Sargon may be obtained in Platts
mouth from Weyrich & Hadraba.
WILL TAKE UP AVIATION
Henry Celik, the clever and effi
cient barber at the Doug. McCraryi
f hop. is to forsake the tonsoriaf art;
to take up that more modern one of
flying and he has been awarded a
scholarship by the United States gov
ernment and successfully passed all
tests and requirements for the work
which he expects to take up the com
ing November.
Mr. Celik, who has been a stu
dent at the University of Nebraska
during the school year and follow
ing his trade during his spare mo
ments, has long had a desire to be
come n aviator and the doors of
opportunity have opened to him in
the chance to take up this govern
ment course.
The examination was held at
Leavenworth. Kansas, and in the
class of fifty-nine Mr. Celik was one
of the fortunate eight to be accepted
and given the privilege of attend
ing the aviation school the coming
winter.
The course will cover one year
of training and will cover every
branch of aviation from the know
ledge of every part of the plane to
the task of piloting them and is a
great opportunity to one who is in
terested in this line of work and
which has a very great future before
it.

best musicians that are to be found
in the musical world. Another fea
ture is the pack of genuine Siberian
bloodhounds Terry having the larg
est and most expensive pack obtain

also mentionable, for they will un
doubtedly bring joy to the hearts
of the little ones, as well as many
of the older people.

especially constructed cars. There
will also be a big band concert at 7

Lowden Urges
Tax Relief to
Help Farmers
Says Soil, Always Tangible, Over
burdened Under the Exist-
ing Methods
Milwaukee A new minlie attitude

recognition of the facts as to the
agricultural situation are needed
more than anv one Diece of legisla-
tion to bring economic justice to the
farmer, Frank O. Lowden. former
Governor of Illinois, told the thir-
teenth annual convention of the Ki
wanis International.
One way in which agriculture may
be helped, Mr. Lowden said, is to
change the present method of taxa
tion. The farmer is being done a
great injustice, he contended, by the
existing methods, as intangible prop
erty escapes direct taxation while
farm land, always tangible property.
is made to bear the greatest burden
of the cost of government.
"Depletion of soils is going on at
a dangerous rate and when farm
surpluses are often driving the price
of farm products below the cost of
production we are adding to those
surpluses by robbing the soil." said jrom abroad that the United States

while they kept them out of cultiva
tion, he suggested.
The former governor outlined the
contrast between city and rural life
and warned of the impossibility of
maintaining much longer the double
standard of living in the United
States.
"The trek cityward is already
under way," he said. "I am not dis
turbed about the movement, but I
am tremendously concerned that
this migration should not drain our
countryside of the stalwart young
men and women who prefer life on
the farm, but who are drawn to the
cities because they cannot secure a
fair reward for their efforts on the
farm. Generations hence, when the
problem is not of surplus, but of
deficit of farm products, these stal
wart men and women will be needed
on the farm if we are to feed, at a
reasonable cost, the constantly in
creasing population in our metro
politan centers."

Hoover willing to forego parity in

, Secretary Stimson indicated Mon

Says Matter Important.
Taking cognizance of reports from

He emphasized that when nations
have agreed not to outbuild each

longest step to eliminate war.
The belief that Mr. Hoover would
permit the parity question to be side

disarmament policy followed by the
present administration.
These circles also emphasized that
