after years of suffering to be relieved.
For years, states Mr.. Schmidt, I have
suffered with constipation, and my

pound has completely relieved me. I
think it is surely a most wonderful
medicine. I had tried most every

Wild Cherry certainly has worked
wonders for me. Many people who
suffer as Mr.. Schmidt would show
good judgment to investigate the
merits of Wild Cherry Compound.

The clock is the work of c. w. Kline.
were made by George Russell, chief
engineer at the home.
Ten Feet Across.
The floral timepiece is laid level
with the ground, and is consequently
not SO conspicuous as it might be, but
it has attracted a great deal of atten-
ton this spring. The clock face prop
er is of green foliage, a circle of ten
feet diameter. The numerals are
red plants about six inches hight, and
stand out clearly. The two hands are
of painted galvanized iron.
Outside of the clock are hundreds of
artistically arranged plants with white
and yellow foliage which serve as an
effective background. They make the
whole piece in the form of a square
with the circular face in the center.
This clock is a model of one which
was kept in the royal gardens of Pots
dam, Germany, about thirty years ago,
when Mr.. Kline was employed there
He made it entirely from memory
however. and with no model or plan
to aid him. There have been but two
other timepieces of this character ever
constructed in the United States, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kline. One was at the
national exposition in Chicago, and the
other was made in the grounds OF q

Tried to Pass Another Car.

Dighton. Kan, July 22.-Harry
James was killed and Guy Van Wey
injured when their car overturned
Just east of the Dighton cemetery
when they attempted to turn out for
another car.
James head was crushed beneath
the wind shield. Van Wey, who was
driving, was badly bruised but his in
juries are not serious. They were not
driving fast, but a blowout in a front
tire caused the car to skid and turn
completely over. The road on which
the accident occurred had been but
recently graded and was dusty. The
men were returning from their work
in the country.

No Relief in Sight Until End of
European War.
FOREIGNERS BUYING FROM US
Home Trade Suffers ON Account
of Manufacturers.
Scarcity of Raw Materials a
Problem, Says C. L. Mitchell.
Scarcity of raw materials.
Increased demand.
Increased cost of production.

These are the three primary rea-
sons for the remarkable increase in
the price of paper according to C. L.
Mitchell of Crane and company.
One of the largest factors in the
manufacture of book papers. flats and
cheaper grades of bonds. is sulphite,
March /, 1916, the importations of the
United States of sulphite amounted to
approximately $1,000 tons per month.
BY May, this amount had dwindled to
less than 1000 tons. and for June and
July the importations have been near
ly nil.
No Wood From Russia.
Nearly all the Scandinavian pulp,
which is our principal source of sup
ply, is manufactured from Russian
wood and as no wood is being cut in
that no relief will come from that di-
rection until some time after the close
of the European war.
The United States import of old
rope, papers and rags from the coun-
tries now engaged in war, has been
about 5000 tons per year. These are
now shut out entirely by the en-
bargoes enforced by those countries
Foreign clays. dyes and other arti-
cles are equally difficult to obtain.
Partly because the warning countries
will not release them for export and
partly because of the dangers attend
ing shipping.
This" said Mr.. Mitchell, shows
how our imports have been affected"
Export Demands Grow.
Despite the cutting of the raw ma
terials from the markets, the demand
for exports of paper has trebled in the
last six months. Foreign buyers are
endeavoring to make contracts at the
manufacturers own prices and it is
not strange that some manufacturers
have yielded to the temptation, al
though, as a rule, they are striving to
care for the home trade first.
But the local demand is not solely
for export. Local consumption has
materially increased, one reason for
which is the numerous editions of lit
erature and music sent to our coun-
try from England for publication. De-
mands from South America and the
Orient are particularly heavy.
Not the least of the paper manu-
facturers' troubles is the labor situa-
ton. Wages have not only increased
from 10 to 20 per cent but large
losses have resulted from shutdowns
| due to the inability of employees and
| employers to adjust their differences
Contrary to the idea that existed a
few months ago, there is no relief in
sight nor is there likely to be until
after the close of the war in Europe

Erred Knapp. Secretary Of the State
Board of Control, has resigned and is
going to come up to Beloit and run a
newspaper. The state is losing a
first-class man from its employ. Sa-
lima is especially interested in Mr..
Knapp because he got his business
education here. When the Board of
Control took charge of the charitable
institutions of the state, they found
a tremendous problem Of bookkeeping
created the Board also created the
necessity for an elaborate scheme of
bookkeeping. Not only were the az
fairs of nine great charitable institu-
lions centered in their hands, but the
vital, personal records for those In
situations were also conferred in the
Board. The whole system of keeping
accounts of hundreds of thousands of
dollars expenses and receipts. and of
receiving, assigning and discharging
inmates of the institutions must be
brought into form for easy reference
There were great books to be de-
signed. systems of reports to be pro-
vided, blanks and vouchers and COM
niitments and discharges of almost in
finite variety to be devised. Fred
Knapp. as secretary of the Board. did
the big end of this work. He was the
bookkeeping expert on the Job. And
he followed this up with a system of
uniform accounting for all the institu-
tions. so that the Board can keep as
close track of the affairs at any tnsti-
tuition as though 1t were located within
a stones throw of the state house. It
is not often that the state can find as
competent a man as Fred w. Knapp
who will do the work he has done for
the pay he has received.
