Although we are not surprised at
the failure of Mr.. Beamguard's bill to
provide for the indexing Of chattel
mortgages on crops for a fee of Is
cents, we would have been glad to see
the proposition become a law. The
practical effect of course, would have
been to restore the old lien law, with
a little better security to the supply
men. The principal difference between
the crop mortgage and the agricultural
lien Is in the matter Of the cost of re-
cording mortgages over a hundred dol
lars. Where the mortgage is for less
than hundred dollars, the mort
gagor, if he sees proper, instead
of having it recorded, may have
it indeXed for a fee Of Is cents and the
indexing serves the same purpose as
recording. Mr.. Beamguard sought to
take away the 800 limit and let the
indexing for Is cents apply to all crop
mortgages, regardless of amount. Mr..
Beamguard's bill was probably de-
feated by the anti-lien law sentiment:
but maybe if he would try again, he
might be able to secure an amendment
to the present statute raising the in
dexing limit on chattel mortgages to
$500 or s4OO and that would help some.

Forget lt.-"Judging by his inau-
gural address, we are inclined to infer
that the governor of South Carolina
has a newspaper-not to say newspa-
person the brain. 1t is likewise not
impossible that a newspaper-not to
say newspapers-have Blease on the
brain.
IF we may venture a suggestion, it
is that the governor ignore the news
paper, if not the newspapers, and that
the newspaper, if not the newspapers,
let the governor alone. There is plen-
ty for each to do for South Carolina,
without the one nagging the other, and
vice versa.

The automobile attractions are

The immense buildings are all con-

with wide roofs, so that weather has

FORGOT His Orders

The head-on collision between No.
IL and the Hannibal & st. Joe train
was apparently caused by lapse of
memory on the part of the engineer
on the latter passenger engine. 1t is
customary and has been for several
years, for the south bound K line
train to take siding" just south of
Ashburn. Yesterday, No. 10 was
about twenty-five minutes late and he
Hannibal & St Joe train was to have
slowed down and taken siding for the
equipment which passed through
Keokuk, at $50. No. II was standing
on the main line watt for the on
coming st. Joe passenger.
A large cure which hides the trains
from view of each other until within
a short distance, kept the engineer
of No. 43 from seeing No. u and it
was too late TO stop the train going
al terrific rate when the turn was
made. There is a ruling that all
passenger trains and freight equip
ment pulling into town or switches,
must be under control, but the Han
nibal & st. Joe train was evidently
not complying with the order

The market for human skin is going to

Powder Grows Human Skin

He tells of scarlet red growing new skin at
the rate of three millimeters in forty-eight
hours on one of his patients. His report on
its use in Johns Hopkins hospital, published in
a medical journal. did much to bring the
strange little anillne dye to surgical notice
here and elsewhere.
1t was taken up in the post graduate and
the German hospitals here last spring. Then
its use was experimental. Now it Is uniformly
used in every case where burns, wounds or
ulcers have stripped the epidermis from any
area of human body.
THE results have been astonishing, even baf.
fling" said Dr. F. William Steichmann OF the
post graduate, and also connected with the
German hospital.
There is just one thing about its use. how
ever, that should be generally known" DR..
Steichman said. Where surgeons in the dis
pensary have used it and applied the dress
ings the results have been marvellous. Where
patients have used 1t themselves the results
have been unsatisfactory"
