TERRIBLY SWOLLEN
Suffering Described As Torture
Relieved by Black Draught.

Rossville, GAINS. Kate Lee Able, OF
this place, writes: "My husband is an
engineer, and once while lifting, he in
iured himself with a piece Of heavy ma
chinery, across the abdomen. He was
so sore he could not bear TO press on
himself at all, on chest or abdomen. He
weighed l65 lbs, and fell off until he
weighed 10 lbs, in two weeks.
He became constipated and it looked
like he would die. We had three different
doctors, yet with all their medicine, his
bowels failed to act. He would turn up
a ten-cent bottle of castor oil, and drink
it two or three days in succession. He
did this yet without result. We became
desperate, he suffered so. He was swol-
len terribly He told me his suffering
could only be described as torture.

CHINESE LABOR QUESTION

of farm land which now lie idle is the

pected to be fought out in the pres
ent session of the Philippine con-
g1ess. Chinese immigration is now
limited by the exclusion acts of the
United States, and any attempt 10

PHILIPPINE PAPER MONEY Is
NOT ENOUGH FOR THE DEMAND

MANILA, Oct. 31-Philippine paper
money is quoted below par by the
vast army of Chinese merchants WHO
control 80 per cent of the retail bust
ness of the Islands. Silver coins, in
Guiding the peso, the bullion in which
is now worth $3.50, are being quoted
by Chinese merchants at a ten per
cent advance Meanwhile the gov
eminent is considering measures to
cope with the situation which is re-
earded as a serious menace to the
commercial prosperity of retail bust
ness here. The average Chinese re-
taller today refuses to make sales
unless the purchaser has with him
the exact change necessary. If he
presents a two peso bill for payment
the two peso bill being the smallest
paper currency in use, he is told that
he must accept ten per cent dis
count on it or go without the goods.
At the same time, the Chinese are
paying a peso for ninety centavos in
silver coin.
The chief factor in causing the pres
ent Situation is declared to be in
,creas ing business. Philippine trade
has gone ahead SO rapidly in recent
months that the circulation of money
in the Islands has not kept pace
with it. Then came recent advances
in the price of silver increasing the
value of the pesa to fifteen centavos
above par. Prohibited by law from
exporting silver pesos, the Chinese
are said to be boarding them. There
is a suspicion also that they are ex-
porting the BIZ lion obtained from
melting them down, although there
is a law on the local statute books
forbidding melting of coins
This boarding has withdrawn many
silver pesos from circulation. Their
work has been done by the smaller
coins, fifty, tewnty, ten and five cen
tavo pieces, and the burden of trade
has been too great for them to carry.
The refusal of Chinese store-keepers
to give change is regarded as indica-
ton that they are boarding the small
er coins also.
Several month ago the insular gov.
eminent saw the danger to the peso
in the increasing price of silver and
authorized the Philippine Nationt
Bank, the government institution to
contract for the printing of 100000
peso bills. 1t is the intention also t;
the insular legislature for the authori
ty to issue up to $4,000,000 in bills.

IGNATIUs LoYoLA

Ignatius Loyola, founder Of the or
der of Jesuits, 5oegan. life as a soldier
and as such led life not entirely IN
accord with biblical injunctions. In
1921 he was assisting in the defense
of Dampeluna against the French,
when a cannon ball fractured his
right leg and a splinter injured his
left He was carried to the neighbor-
ing cattle of Loyola and in the weary
months during which he lay stretch
ed on his couch tried to while away
the time by reading the Lives of the
Saints Thus was planted IN his
heart the seed which soon was to
lead to his founding the Society of
Jesus Loyola was thirty years old
when he recovered from his injuries.
He tore himself from his family and
friends and made pilgrimage to the
Holy Land. In the Church of the
Virgin of Mount Serrat, he hung up
his arms and vowed constant obedi-
ence to God and the church. Dressed
as a beggar he made his way back to
SPAIN suffering severe hardships. Ar
rived in Spain, at the age of thirty
three, he resumed his education
which had been. neglected from child
hood, and laboriously from the rudi-
ments Of grammar worked his way
through a full university course. He
went to Paris in 1928 and inspired
other students with his. own devout
fervor. In an underground chapel
of the Church of Nominate, on Aug.
Is. 1884 Loyo1a and five other stu
dents. took the solemn vows of cell
bacy, poverty and the devotion OF
their lives to the care of Christians
and the conversion of infidels. Such
was the beginning of the famous So
ciety of Jesus. The plan of the new
iorder was laid before Pope Paul III
who. raised several objections to it;
but on the understanding that Jesuits
should in all matters give implicit
obedience to the holy see, he granted
them a constitution. Loyola was cleo
| ted president and established al
Rome as director of the movements
I of the society. Loyola conducted its
affairs until, worn out with labors
and privations, he died on July 81
1856, at the age of sixty-five.

WAR "BLACK SHEEP"

The recent suspension of sentences
imposed upon forger in New York,

that the BLACK Sheep" Of many
families. prominent as well as OBJ

tirely on the BATTLEFIELD. In many in
stances they have won recognition
for bravery and in others have expi-
ated their sins in heroic death on the

Gaynors Gets Patent
RightssofH hnpr6ved
Bullet Manufacture

Patent rights on a radical improve
anent in the art of bullet-making have
been granted ito. Arthur C. Gaynor,
vice president of the. Gaynor Manu-
featuring company.
Mr.. Gaynor has found simple but
effective way of overcoming by me-
chanical means the inaccuracies in the
drift of the bullet which for a time
threatened to paralyze the bullet max
ing industry of America when the use
OF leaden bullets was discarded.
The bullet utilized today throughout
the world is of steel or steel jacketed,
made from wire of the required thick
ness. At the beginning of the Euro
pSRn war an effort was made in Amer
ia to turn them out by automatic
machinery. the wire being fed through
revolving axis and the bullet being
cut and shaped by edged tools.
It was found that by the slightest
fraccuracy of the axis so made the
bullet its drift was far beyond the
cpmpensating point of the rear sight.
Mr. Gaynor has perfected novel
method of drawing the bullets by
means of dies. It was found upon ex-
pertinent that the method overcame
the difficulties presented by the
turning method. Although his
claim was filed a year or more ago
official recognition of it by the govern
iment in the form of patents has just
been forthcoming.
Other patentees' who have been of.
ficially notified of their success this
week, taken from a list furnished The
Farmer by, A.. M. Wooster, the Bridge
port patent solicitor. are: Edward B
Allen, who has invented a buttonhole

sewing machines, and Clapence d

EDWARD HINES

If any. proof were needed that
there is romance in BUSINESS. the case
of Edward Hines would suffice to
convince any doubter. His story in
nutshell is From Tally Boy to
Lumber Prince and Bank Director"
Edward Hines was born in Buffalo,
N. Y, July 81, 1853. When he was
two years old his parents decided to
move to Chicago and, of course, Ed
ward went along. When ne was old
enough, they put him into public
school and that is all the book learn
ing that Hines has received. His
broader education has been gained
from his contact with men in every
station of life, which is. in the end,
the only real education; only, you've
got to know how to get it and apply
it. Anyway, there came time when
Edward had to ko to work and so
he applied for a job in a Chicago
lumber yard. The boss looked him
over and decided that Edward would
make a good tally boy, so he was
put to work. Then came day, not
long afterward, when he rose in the
business world to the dizzy heights
of office boy. That responsible posi-
ton, however, didn't satisfy Hines at
all. He worked hard and before you
and still later he became office man
ager. Then. for four years, he be-
came a travelling salesman. In 1884
he was elected secretary-treasurer OF
! the s. K. Martin Lumber Company
with which he had started out as
office boy. He stuck to this job until
1892 when he decided to strike out
for himself and founded the Edward
| Hines Lumber Company, of which
since that time, he has been presi-
dent, treasurer and general manager
In other words he has held down
three jobs which 1t ordinarily take:
three big men to hold down. But tina
is nothing, for besides this he i:
president or a member of the board
of directors of a. dozen other lum
Der companies, besides being interest
| ed in banks. All in all Edward Hine
has reason to be very much satisfied
with his lot, for he has just oodle
of mony, a great many friends and
like all big men, several enemies.

IN PAST 8 YEARS
GERMANS CLAIM
Better Fortified Than Ever,
While France Weakens,'
Says War Review.

Berlin, July 31-In it's review. of
the third year of the war. the Berlin
Tageblatt points out that the armies
of Germany and her allies have con-
quered more than half a million
square kilometres Of Entente terri
tory. It further asserts the military
strength of the Central powers, i1e-
stead Of decreasing, has increased,
while that Of France has visibly di-

The newspaper says the German
people has plainly announced it's
readiness for peace. It expresses the
hope common sense and a sincere de-
sire for the cessation of hostilities
will: assert themselves in the ranks of
Germany's adversaries. The Tage-
blatt says:
1.-The end of the third year of the
war finds the issue in the East and
in the West undecided. For the mo-
ment interest in the military opera
lions is focused on Flanders and
Galicia.
The past year, however, has been
fruitful of many instructive results.
Above all it may be asserted the En-
tente no longer has the disposal of
unlimited production and supplies of
ammunition as was the case during
| the ,Somme battle.
This cessation Of munition reinn-
| forcement has had a noticeable effect
on the western front. And, whereas,
the material resources of our oppon-
ents have not increased and the
strength of France has become wish
bly, diminished, we still are unimpair-
