The collateral Swabian line, found

was in 1875 divided into the Hohen-
zollern-Hechinge and the Hohen-
ern-Sigmaringen lines. Owing TO
the trouble OF lS4S, the year In
which Europe was swept by revolu-
lions, Prussia was unable to absorb
these independent municipalities. The
proposal to raise Prince Leopold, of
llern-Sigmaringen, TO the
throne Of Spain was the immediate
cause of the Franco-German War in
1870.

Those who till the soil are the
chosen people of God.
Farming is as old as the human
race and is yet in its infancy.
Success is bound to come to the
farmer who plans while he plows.
No civilization has ever advanced
beyond its agricultural development.
No farmer is successful who
thinks more of his barn than he
does of his home.
The development of the farmer
himself must precede the full de-
velopment of the ground he tills.
The most beautiful fact in the
farmers work is that everything he
plants is a lesson in faith.
The best farmer does not bother
about getting ahead of his neighbor;
his great business is to get ahead of
himself
We must give the people who live
on the farm the same educational
for their children as
those of the cities enjoy
The country clergy is an agency
of much potentiality because the
rural life movement is religious as
well as industrial and social
There should be social and an
survey of every COM
The pastor, teacher and
the school and church officials are
they who should make such a sur
vey.
In recent survey of a community
in New England. the average annual
income of 154 farmers who had a
common school education was 1929.
while the average net income of 1922
farmers of the same locality with
high school education was $4S2 an
nually. This was worth to each
farmer who possessed it 1858 each
year.

HAVEN'T GOT TIME"

With chance for the brother

He raped till his fingers were sore
And muttered; Come on, let me
me in.
Here is something | know you can
do.
Here's hill that know you can
climb"
But the brother inside
Very quickly replied:
"Old fellow, haven't got time
Opportunity wandered along
In search of a man who would
RISE
He said to the indolent throng:
Here's chance for the fellow
who tries"
But each of them said with a smile,
Il wish | could do it, but I'm
busy to-day
Very busy to-day
And I'm sorry to say
That really I haven't got time"
At last opportunity came
To man who was burdened with
cares,
And said: II now offer the same
Opportunity that has been theirs.
Here's a duty that ought to be done,
It's chance if you've got
time to take it."
Said the man. with a grin,
Come along, pass it in!

America of the German method OF

Twilight Sleep which up to the

ments in the German surgical dis
covery.
ION this my third trip to study
the dammerschlaf as practiced by
Doctors Kronig and Gauss at Fret

American women, because of their
nervous temperaments, were insult

there | had a rather nervous Ameri
can patient who came through her
experience with splendid results.
II firmly believe that the 'Twi-
light Sleep is a definite success and
that it will not be long before it will
be as successfully practiced here as
in Germany. But the important
thing which should be announced
with all the emphasis possible, is
that the Twilight Sleep can be sue
cessfully administered only in the
specially arranged quarters of hos
pital and under the care of special
lists who are giving individual and
particular attention TO each separate
case.
The method is not suitable for
general practice, nor should Ameri-
can patients expect treatment in
their own homes.
IL was pleased also at the i'm
provement of German technic over
what had been attained in 1912. At
that time injections of scopolamin
and morphine were used, while now
a combination of narkophin, de-
rivative of opium and refined scopol-
amin is found to produce less ex-
element. This injection in varying

ular needs of each patient, has pro-
duced practically perfect results.

Mayor Moorhead Calls Attention to
This Fact After Erroneous
Statement In Papers.

Regarding the articles published in
local papers Friday about the city
clerk being Instructed to issue time
warrants amounting to $4,000 and
stating that they were for the pur-
pose OF making up overdrafts on GER
tain funds, Mayor Moorhead today
called attention to the fact that the
present council is not making any
overdrafts on any funds. Several
funds were overdrawn at the time the
present administration took Office and
as yet the present council has taken
no steps to make these up. They say
they will do It in the legal way as
soon as possible, but that at present
they are concerned with keeping the
funds under their administration sup
piled. There will be no overdrafts
made by the present administration
and instructions to the city clerk to
this effect have been issued. The Is
suance OF time warrants as ordered
by the council is to replenish funds
pending receipt Of the bulk OF the
taxes later in the year.

NEW YORK, June 29.-There was
no response in either home or for
eign markets to the Austrian tragedy
and security prices in general showed
little change from the quotations OBJ
tanning at the close of last week. So
far as the market here was concern
ed 1t became utterly stagnant after
opening a trifle higher. Later there
was fractional reaction but this
was not important, owing to the mar
row trading here. Before the close
some active shares but even the pro-
fessional traders who had the mars.
wholly to themselves did little or
nothing. There was a sharp break in
foreign exchange before the close on
offerings of bills that had been ae-
cumulated in anticipation of much
broader buying for the July settle
ment obligations than appeared today.
The days trading on the whole yield
ed the smalles. volume OF business,
except for one day in 1918, that the
market has witnessed for fifteen years.
Operations in the money market
had chiefly to do with arrangements
to provide for the large July divi-
dend and interest disbursements.
These caused some calling of Wall
street loans by banks here and out OF
town. But the highly significant de-
velopment Of the day was the broad
ening Of demand for mercantile paper.
This followed the return to the mar
ket of various banks shat had temper
arily withdrawn last week on the news
of the mercantile failure.
There were no gold engagements to-
day and the foreign exchange market
