JUDGE AWARDS $40
TO A GENESE0 MAN
J. ID. Cady Is Held Liable for Price
of Cement Block Machine, in
Suit i'm Circuit Court.

A judgment of 1910 was given in the
circuit court in favor of Charles H.
Hamann of Geneseo against John d.
Cady of Moline. The suit was brought
to recover the price of cement ma
chine. 1t seems that Hamann sold the
machine to Cady, and was to give
Cady agency rights. Cady claimed
later that Hamann had already sold
these agency rights, and refused to
take the machine.
The suit to set aside the will of Mrs.
|Albertina Hanson is in progress in the
circuit court. The will leaves the
property to son, for his life, and on
his death it is to go to his wife and
children.

st. Louis, June 29.-Four years
ago DIR. Joseph j. Elcan, a wealthy
physician of Mason, Tenn, during a

age of 23 years. The ceremony was
performed here in the presence OF
Nat Mitchell and Mrs. Mitchell, of
Memphis, Tenn, the son-in-laN and
daughter OF the bridegroom.
The bride is the daughter OF the
Rev. Francis Moore. rector OF the

prying neighbors of their home town
to crowd around at the wedding, and
came to st. Louis. Or. Elcan is a
brother OF DR.. A. l.. Elcan, formerly
of Memphis.

LACK OF FARM HANDS.
Says Secretary Who Declares The
Country + Highly Prosperous.


Washington. June 29.-Secretary
of Agriculture Wilson. who has Just
returned from a trip through the
western states. says that lack OF farm
hands is the chief cause Of the high
prices OF fOodstuffs. "All through
the west and northwest the same sit
uation exists" said Mr.. Wilson. "1'he
country Is as healthy and prosperous
as ever Il was. but thousands OF acres
of valuable and fertile land are lying
idle because the owners cannot hire
labor. although wages paid farm
hands In these states are the equal
of those paid TO the laborers In our
large cities.
"The immigrants who land on our
foreign shores all flock TO the larger
cities. and those OF them who have
done farming in their own country
are incompetent and nearly useless to
the American farmer. because they
don't understand the modern machin-
cry used on farms In this country.
Prices OF grains and vegetables
therefore are bound to be nigh. and
Of course. with these staples selling
at high prices, the value OF meats Is
thereby raised"

| the body itself produces. and this Is
generally necessary. because We fail
to obey the regulations, which nature
prescribes for our benefit and i'm
immunity.
Surgical science has kept pace
with its sister science; and in that the
doctor is equally the victim Of mis-
representation. The doctors informs
the family that a patient is certain TO
die unless an operation is performed,
and the chances of recovery from the
operation are slight. We could not
conceive of the doctors we know
wantonly or ignorantly saying such
thing falsely. The family says to
operate, and the patient dies. Then
designing persons spread lies broad
cast about the operation, and com
mon rumor makes the doctor out a
butcher. The general public does not
know how kindly the family feels to-
ward the physician and the surgeon,
who did all that science and tender
solicitude could to restore their loved
one to health. The public only
knows that the operation was per
formed and the patient died; and It
is not possible for the doctor to rush
into public print to deny something
OF which be is not accused by those
most intimately concerned.
That is the doctor in the sick room,
where he spends days and nights
watching and studying, and from
which he carries burden that no,
other mortal can appreciate.
But medical science is not resting
with the care Of the sick room from
which the members derive their rev.
enue. 1t is leading in the movement
for the prevention of diseases. Medi-
cal science is delving deep into the
cause OF human Illnesses, and first II
has Weakened faith palsied lestl
science disprove the gospel; and then
Il has capital in rage, because IL
condemns unsanitary conditions and
expensive but important re-
forms. Judged by the standards OF
any other calling, excepting that OF
the teacher and clergy. the doctors
are cutting of their own revenue by
trying 10 keep people well. CUES
tons of sanitation and hygiene are
urged on an unthinking public by the
only people, who possibly could
profit by the lack of them. Doctors
are studying psychic phenomena, and
not for the purposes Of establishing
a new kind of cult about every unex-
planned vaga-y OF the human mind
but for the purpose of discovering
some new benefit for humanity. No
one knows better than the doctor the
advantage of a good temperament,
hope, courage and will power in the
sick room, or has been preaching i'll
longer. -.r
Il we would spend as -1uch time
finding out what the doctors really
practice, as we do studying means to
lgnorantly criticize professors OF the
one science that II has as its one and
ultimate purpose the benefit of HUI
mainly, we would keep our premises
and our bodies and minds in order,
live more happily. both for ourselves
and our fellowmen. and live longer.

THE PUBLIC FORUM.
The south Needs Her Young Men.

The South Needs Her Young Men.
A whole volume OF sound sense is
compressed into a few words by Pres
ident Finley, of the Southern railway,
in his address to the students of the
University of North Carolina. Among
other things he said:
"In, whatever career the young
man Of the south may select, he will
find opportunities at home among his
own people. He will not find Il
necessary to go either to the north
or to the west. AS time goes on he
will find these opportunities in in
creasing abundance, for the economic
strength Of the south. already great,
is constantly increasing.
1.-THE wealth OF our section in nat
ural resources il being supplemented
by increased financial strength, and
southern communities are becoming
better able to finance their own en-
terprises and less dependent on out
side capital.
"The south needs everyone OF her
young men, and those who are faith
full to her she will bountifully reward.
Great as has been the growth of
the south, that section is only at the
beginning of its career of develop
ment. The south is not overcrowded
with population and. can for many
years yet furnish opportunities for all
who earnestly seek them. Far-sighted
railroad men and other
leaders of industry are almost unani-
nous in predicting that the greatest
OF the next two decades
in this country will occur in the
south"
