ORIGIN or EGYPT"
How tho Name Came to Be Applied t.
Southern Illinois.

The year 1924 was very wet Heavy
rains fell frequently. Corn on flatlands
was a total failure. This year the wee
vii destroyed the wheat after it was
harvested. The next year, 1925. there
was a remarkable growth Of thistles on
the branch bottoms. The winter of
1901 was known as the winter OF
deep snow. The snow was Of a depth
Of from two and half to three feet on
a level. 1t drifted much and was very
destructive to fruit trees. The weather
was intensely hot. Both in 1881 and
1882 the early frosts so injured the
corn as to entirely render it worthless
for almost any purpose.
During the years between and in
Guiding 1S24-32, so nearly correspond
ing to the years of famine in the days
of Pharaoh and his ruler, as he made
Joseph to be, the people of Illinois,

the state for so much grain, particu-
larry corn, that people in remembrance
of the Bible story began to call the

motive, and that no incapacity, indif-

shown in any case"

contentious of District Attorney Je-
rome in every charge. stating at the
conclusion Of many of them that he
could find no neglect on the part of
the district attorney or any good rea-
son for other or further action than
that which was taken by him.
The charges in the main accused
the district attorney of alleged neglect
of duty in not sufficiently prosecuting
alleged fraudulent acts of the Metro

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, md that is by constitutional
remedie& Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of th> Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound ,r imperfect hearing. and
when 1t is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result. and unless the iuflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases
out of ten are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but inflamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.

CHINA IS ANXIOUS
FOR AMERICAS AID
Realizes That This Country
Would Lift That Out of
Darkness.
JAPANESE ARE FEARED.
SENTIMENT TOWARD THEM is
GROWING EACH DAY-CELES-
TAILS SHOWN SYMPATHY TO-
WARDS REFORMS.

Hong Kong, Aug 25.-News Of the
suggested alliance between China and
America has created intense interest
among the Chinese and caused the
revival of hopes for the thorough re-
generation of the Empire and the pre-
vention of possible partition. They
realize the ineptitude of the country,
but recognize its potentialities if sup
ported by a strong nation like Amer
lea.
Development of commercial indus
try and natural resources, which has
been blocked by official greed on the
one hand and negligence and ignor-
ance on the other, would be given a
chance if China were upheld and
guided by strong, free nation. China
has little to offer in the shape of an
army and navy, but possesses esen-
tials which could quickly materialze
assured by an ally. 1t was once be-
lieved Great Britain would be the
guiding hand in bringing China to her
own, but now it is recognized that she
has entirely lost the splendid oppor-
tunity, which, if seized by America,
will be the saving of China and the
firm establishment of America in the
far East.
Evidences of Awakening.
There are evidences of the awaken
ing which indicate warm sympathy
in the reforms necessary to fit China
to enter the family of nations on an
equal footing with the others 1t is
felt that with the moral support of
China would quickly reform her finan-
cial arrangements and later effective
ly found an army and navy, establish
good government and abolish her poll
teal and commercial evils.
China fears Japan, it is claimed,
Influence to bear to gain ascendancy
of power in China. She has a domin-
ant influence in three Manchurian
provinces, which is bound to spread
unless checked. China's eyes are OPP
ened to Japan's objects. She is gradu-
ally dismissing the Japanese teachers
that Japan induced her to employ and
also is finding her students educated
in Japan inefficient and revolutionary.
China is realizing that if she must
learn she must be taught by a master
and not by pupil, as Japan is. China
needs assistance which an alliance
with America would insure.
