CARRIES COINS IN HIS EARS
California Man Has Cash Register
System That Is Exclusive

Fall River Mills, Cal.-Women carry

OF Florin Brothers of this place, makes
cash register of his ears.
When ne is selling goods and is in

or the other and finds the needed
coin.

the doorway of the estaminet was
chalked some lettering which indicat-

on the floor were some wounded men.
They looked little stunned, which
was only natural when you have been
as close as they had to burst of
shell-a shell that made a hit. The
conclusion was bound to have this
effect.
A third man was the best illustra-
ton of shell destructiveness. Bullets
make only holes. Shells make gouges,
fractures and pulp. He too had band
aged head, and had been hit in sew
eral places; but the worst wound was
in the leg, where an artery had been
cut, causing loss Of blood. He was
weak with sort of a Where am II"
look in his eyes. If that fragment
which had hit his leg had hit his head
or his neck or his abdomen he would
have been killed instantly. He was
an illustration of how hard it is to
kill man with several shell frag-
ments unless some of them strike in
the right place. For he was going to
live; the surgeon had whispered that
fact in his ear, that one important
fact
And 1t was the one successful she'll

was supposed to make the waste of

RURAL. CREDIT PLANS
+. MAY Be BLOCKED
Congressional Committee to Hit
Snag. in Demands Of Labor
and Farm Men.

When the members of the Congress
sional committee now investigating the
question of rural and personal credits
for farmers, report at the next session
of Congress- they will find that the
farm organizations and labor unions Of
the country have already formulated
definite demands on this subject, and
probably will not be disposed to accept
the committees findings.
These organizations are now making
a study of the whole question of credits,
not only for farmers. but for small
shopkeepers and employers in urban
communities as well. According to the
men who have the matter in hand, a
good credit system should be extended
to all classes of people, and they are
now working together on several bills
in an effort to frame a measure on
which they can all agree. When this
is done they will go to Congress with
bill, insisting on no compromise.
Legislative Agent Atkinson, of the
West Virginia State Grange, has in
dorsed the idea of a credit both for
farm and labor men as well. The plan
most favored is to remove all depository
restrictions from the postal savings
banks and use those funds to finance
the credit system.
representatives OF 1aT11lerS ana ldDOT
ing men are saying that the work Of the
Congressional committee now investiga-
ting the subject of personal credits
has no real value. They point out there
Ia nothing to investigate about per
Sonar' credits.
The plan of a Government banking
institution such as is now under con-
sideration was presented to the execu-
tive coucil of the American Federation
of Labor, at 1t annual convention at
Atlantic City. and the general features
were approved.
Work on the details are to be taken
UP with officials of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. The contention is
made that the plan for private land
mortgage banks supported by many
members of the House and Senate is an
attempt of financial interests to mort
gage the farm lands OF the country as
they have already mortgaged, the rail-
roads and industrial concerns.
