EXPECT GOOD PROFIT
FROM SKUNK FARM
Here is the latest.

Here is the latest.
A skunk farm is located right in
Wayne county with prospects Of be.
coming prosperous business for its
promoters.
1t is situated three miles west OF
Economy and has been started by
James Roush and his brother, who live
on Frank Thornburg's farm in Dalton
township. Although the farm is only a
few weeks old, its proprietors have a
stock Of twenty of the furry animals
They have constructed several
cages, ten feet long and three feet
wide in which the "skunks" are fed.
Holes have been dug by the animals
underground but none have made any
attempt to escape.
The "star" hides which command
the better price, will net about So
each, according to the Roush brothers.
An expert skunk" raiser has been
consulted and has given the proprie-
tors Of the farm the latest information
on the care of the animals Corn and
milk is the chief food given them and
they all seem to be healthy and enjoy
ing life. The first hides will be put on
the market this fall.

with this view of the case.
1t was pointed out that in the first
four years after its opening 172 patti.
ents had been dismissed as we'll from
our own state tuberculosis hospital
at Rockville.
The hospital would provide first for
those In the incipient stages; most OF
them would be cured or greatly i'm.
proved and put on the road to final
recovery within a few months; and
second, advanced cases, all of whom
perhaps would die, but they would be
SO cared for, that they would not be-
come centers Of infection and for ev-
cry one who so died, at least two
would be saved from contracting the
disease; the people would in less than
ten years adopt the hospital as their
very one and nothing would need be
said for 1t.
The commissioners are heartily for
it; let them know that you are today,
either in person or letter and we will
soon have 1t.

England Trying to Gold Brick Us

Payments due American manufacturers for
munitions of sold to the allies are falling due
in increasingly large amounts. When they sign
ed the contracts, the allied governments agreed
to pay the American manufacturers in American
dollars. Our business men were wise in so stlpu-
lating for today the American dollar is the only
currency on earth that has not deprecated in
value. The English pound, which heretofore has
been the money standard of the world and was
worth about $4.s6 gold has deprecated to such
an extent that today it is quoted at around $4.66.
English currency, like our own, is secured by
the gold standard. Like any other gold standard
government, however, England has more curren-
cy outstanding than she has gold to retire it.
Consequently as the Germans continue piling up
victory on victory and as the world becomes bet
ter acquainted with the underlying inefficiency
of the British Empire, doubt arises as to the ina
bility of the latter to maintain the value of its
currency under such conditions and depreciation
of that value is the immediate resultant.
There are three ways in which England can
pay her debts to America, the two most satisfac-
tory of which are to send us gold or exchange
the American securities of her investors for our
products. The third way and the most unsatis-
factory one from the American standpoint is for
England to establish credit for herself in this
country through the sale of her government
bonds to our investors. This is what England is

now attempting TO do, rs her bankers conoesCenu-
ingly state they are going to offer three hundred
million dollars Of British bonds to United States
investors. Proceeds from the sale Of this issue
are to be used to pay off the American manufac-
turers Of munitions. In other words, England
wants to borrow our money with which % pay Us.
She wishes to give us her promise to pay rather
than her gold or her investments in our country.
If English currency is depreciating, however.
it stands to reason that the same thing is happen
ing to her credit In fact her credit isn't as good
today as her currency. She has certain proper
ton of gold with which to back up her currency
but her inefficiency in the war, as evidenced by
the gigantic German victories and her terrific
expense for which she is saddling herself with
debts mounting up into the billions. raise the
spectre Of reputation before the eyes Of those
who are asked to buy additional issues Of Eng
lish bonds. IT, as now seems likely, England
loses in her great onslaught against Germany,
she will have to pay staggering indemnity as
the price of her failure which will make repudia-
ton absolutely certain.
Let England pay us in gold or in our own Sc
curities. Let her obtain our securities from her
investors by giving them in exchange British
bonds. English investors own many billions Of
dollars worth of American stocks, bonds and
land One duke, for instance, is credited with
owning 40, 900 acres in Illinois and Iowa. Let him
exchange this land for British bonds and let Eng
land put up that land with American bankers as
collateral to secure her debts to our manufacture
ers.
With England's war expense running between
ten and fifteen billion dollars year, our great
New York bankers, many of whose daughters
are married to British lords and dukes, should
not be allowed to jeopardize the savings of Amer
lean bank depositors by underwriting English
loans. AS long as England herself can pay the
piper, let her enjoy her tunes Of war. When she
can no longer pay, however, and if we refuse to
be duped into loaning her our resources on her
promise to pay, which could never be fulfilled
and would have to be repudiated, peace will come
and blood will cease flowing.

Talks With Lovers
Kitty Carothers Gives Advice to Young Persons and An
svvers Inquiries About Affairs of Heart

Hearts are less easily broken than
ten years ago. There are few rejected
suitors today who pine away their
lives. The wound may be deep, but
they turn from the past and seek balm
for the broken heart in the compan'
ionship of others.
The trend OF love affairs is, drifting
away from the ideals OF novels. so
popular a few years ago. Then the
hero was pictured as having never
loved but once, and the heroine fell
in love before she knew it. Today
both hero and heroine may go through
several serious love affairs and en-
gagements, find the right man in the
end and live happily ever afterward."
Neither does the girl fall in love
before she is aware of it, She knows
all the time what she is doing, and
often reasons out her course of action

JAPAN LANDS OLD
GERMAN BUSINESS

LONDON, Aug. 10. Particulars
have come to hand of a significant de-
velopment OF the export trade of
Japan with markets farther afeld than
she has been able to secure before
the war Thus, larger beer brewery
which was established there by Ger
man capital and under German tech
nical supervision. has been taken over
by the government, and is being work
ed with no little success. 1t is even
said that the Japanese beer is being
introduced into India as a substitute
for the light beers Of Teutonic origin
which are no longer available. Similar
ly, India is finding that its own pro-
duction of some mineral materials
are being subjected to very effective
competition from Japan, notwith-
standing the handicap occasioned by
the cost of freight and the import
duty.

beforehand, weighing with her best
judgment the things in favor of each
wooer.
Since these things are true, the girl
who deliberately leads one admirer on,
when she knows she loves another,
who may be in some distant city, Is
not to be excused. Some time she
must announce her decision, which will
hurt one of the men. Although the
wound will heal more readily than in
previous generations, it's infliction will
always be a source Of regret to the
young woman.
FRANKLY TELL HIM.
Dear Miss Carothers-I am a little

with whom I have been keeping COM
pany is three years older. Recently
met another a year younger than he,
with whom fell in love. How shall
get rid OF the first? NJ. w.
II you are sure that you care more
for the younger, frankly tell the other
of your change Of sentiment. Don't
keep him hoping against odds. Each
day that he continues hoping will
make the final break that much harder
for him.

my husband and / are drifting apart.
He has important engagements" at
town nearly every night. He is seldom
home of evenings and has lost interest
in keeping the premises in good condi-
ton. Is this fair to me and our 4-year-
old son? What shall l do?
Puzzled Wife.
Talk the situation over with your
husband at once. Show him that he
must be the example for your son and
try to make him feel the responsible
ity which he has as husband and
father. Do not threaten him or CEN
sure him as that makes most men re-
bellious. At first talk approach the
subject by citing impersonal cases. II
this fails ask him candidly why he has
lost interest in his home.

EARLY GERMAN CHURCHES.


One OF the old German residents Of
the city, who has made a study of the
coming of the first Germans to Rich
mond, says the first preachers who
visited the Teuton immigrants same
from the western part of Wayne coun-
ty. Records at st. Johns church show
that ministers visited here from Cam.
bridge and East Germantown. Itine
rant pastors from Cincinnati and the
German settlements from Brookville
south to Cincinnati also visited the
early Teutonic residents and christ
ened their children. Entries in the
first church record Of st. Johns con.
gregation are in the handwriting Of
these itinerant pastors.
PEWS OF PlANkS AND BLOCKS.
The first pews in st. Johns church,
according to the traditions Of the con-
gregation, were made Of planks laid
across blocks. The members were too
poor to buy even benches. The orig
tnal ediffce still stands on South
Fourth street. AS the congregation
grew additions were made to the front,
top and rear, SO that the present struc-
ture, figuratively speaking, has been
built around the original building.
