An account of the principal events in the career of mankind
shows many individuals with STRANGE and UNUSUAL ideas and
of RADICAL ways who at length finished and delivered to the pub-
lic Important discoveries, inventions and achievements to which
civilisation owes much of its development.
The Telescope of Galileo, the artificial eye by which the magic
Story of the stars is read, ad his STRANGE idea that the earth
moved and the sun stood still were condemned by learned men as
blasphemous.
The son of Mary and the carpenter, a man of finer fiber and
'mold than mortals, gave a new date to history, changed the beliefs
of mankind and was put to the torture of the cross. His ideas and
work were STRANGE, UNUSUAL and RADICAL.
The teaching class of the time did all it could to suppress the
Art of printing invented by Gutenberg. It was a strange and unusual
achievement and was considered too promising to the emancipation
of thought and the enlightenment of the common people. Of all per-
sons of consequence, Queen Isabella stood alone in supporting the
8TRANGE ideas of Columbus, who is said to have discovered the
North American continent.
For the time being Congress lent no favor to the STRANGE
ideas of Morje when he sought'federal aid to develop the telegraph.
Even in an age of great enlightenment Marconi was slow in gaining
| favor when he announced his STRANGE and UNUSUAL invention
that would send words anywhere without wires. Incredulity and
doubt preceded and attended the invention of the telephone by Bell
and Gray.
S The aeroplane was “dreamed" out and its idea rejected with
legendary derision long before man could really fly. Itwvas assum-
ed the STRANGE AND UNUSUAL idea of the feeble minded.
THE POINT IN THIS PAPER
ISPS
The Chiropractic idea is STRANGE and UNUSUAL in the, an-
nals of the health professions. To rrlany it is unorthodox to the
last degree. It was born in the light of new knowledge of the^body
through a process of simple reasoning. So far it has had the for-
tune to be rejected by medical science and accepted by more than
five million people.
In the Science of Chiropractic, the brain, spine and nerves are
looked to for health of the whole body. The brain receives its power
from the intelligence that rules the Universe and transmits it to the
body through the nerves. The spine is the route of nerve travel
and organ of nerve distribution.
Displaced joints in the spine corp-
press the nerves and interfere with the impulses from the brain,

which irregularities are the cause of about all the diseases the body
suffers. The chiropractor adjusts these disordered vertebrae by
head and the patient gets well by the forces that reside in the body.
Evolution is perpetual. Health modes are no exception. Who
will say the( electric light does not improve on the tallow candle,
the self-binder on the old fashioned cradle, the thresher on the flail
or the automobile on the ox car? Results are the measure of merit
in any health work. Chiropractic makes no claims not based on its
rsuccess. No charge to investigae it. Few disappointments among
those who have tried It.

THE DAILY HERALD
FRENCH SACRIFICE
FOR LIBERTY HEROIC
^ Answering Mr. Scott.
Weatherford, Texas. May 22.
Editor—Under date of May 18th,
there appears on the second page of
the Herald an article by Mr. R. H.
Scott, “Replying to Working Man.”
The statement is made that it is
admitted that supply and demand
govern prices, but who is it admitted
by If that is the case and monopoly
does not govern prices, why necessa-
ry to forever clamor concerning the
regulation of ilie trusts? The people
are today aware that the basic in-
dustries of this country are monopo-
lized and through this monopoly the
private owners of industry have the
power to appropriate unto themselves
the excessive profits which are paid
byv the people in the form of the
high cost of living, added to this
they pay dearly for needless dupli-
cation necessitated through our sys-
tem of private ownership of indus-
try? The Railroad Administration
during government control clearly
saw the futility of needless duplica-
tion and unified many terminals and
departments during the period of
control and when the roads were
turned back to private management
on March 1st the administration had
accomplished but a small portion of
the elimination of needless duplica-
tion which would have occurred had
the people been aware of the possi-
bilities and demanded of congress
that the railroads not only remain
under government cotrol but, govern-
ment ownership- This morning’s
paper carries in the headlines, in-
formation that the railroads of the
country will again be operated as
one system. Will we never see the
futility of our efforts, or efforts on
(the part of many of our citizens to
I turn the wheels of progress back-
ward.
I am heartily in accord with Mr,
Scott in his claim that we must have
increased production on the farm and
even every place. But how shall we
provide more farm laborers by re-
ducing the wage at least 50 per
cent? It is the simplest matter on
earth to induce the people to go
back to the farm and produce. All
you have to do is to create condi-
tions on the farm which are attract-
ive and you will have millions of
men and women prefer going to the
farm and work in the open air, than
remain indoors and on the railroads,
etc., where the labor is more haz-
ardous. Establish' large farms in
the agricultural districts where rain-
fall is sufficient or where there may
be irrigation, employ highly pro-
ductive machinery and establish de-
for as Mr. Scott says, and I trust
that he has, but let him join hands
with his fellow citizens, the indus-
trial workers and through thorough
organization, along with all the peo-
ple meet and discuss those matters
and arrive at some plan for remedy-
ing the situation, ere we sleep so
long thRt our indifference and inac-
tivity brings upon us economic and
sodhl conditions which cause us to
regret it.
Industry is being nationalized
throughout the world. Such a step is
inevitable in industry to prevent ex-
ploitation of man by man, and re-
gardless of whatever opposition, with
which we meet, evolution is and
shall step by step make for such
progress.
The people should elect represen-
tatives capable and pledged to enact
laws permitting the State and na-
tion to take over monopolized in-
dustry, eliminating profit taking and
needless duplication. We are drift-
ing down life’s stream and I wonder
how much longer we shall depend
on some other hand to man the cars
ere we reach some goal. Why not
lets do it next November at the
polls ?

JAMES BOWIE CLUB
ENTERTAINMENT ENJOYABLE
The belated citizen passing along
the street last night wondered what
all the racket at the city hall was
about.
On invesigation he found that it
was what is generally known as a
"howling success.” This howling suc-
cess it seems was engineered princi-
pally by Prof. W. E. Davenport and
all the female population between the
court house and Springtown, known
locally as the James Bowie Improve-
ment club.
There were many old ladies pres-’
ent, also many grey headed males
and certainly every kid in town be-
tween the ages of five and fifteen
years of age.
I want to tell you right now i

a million people at their entertain
ment last night because there wa'
