 At the same time q similar project was coming to its end in England. The South Sea company. formed for the pur pose of trading in the South Seas. end ed with a crash when most of the di- rectors sold out when the value of their shares had been stimulated to reach 1000
 These early attempts at large scale business organization ushered in the modern type of corporation. A brief sketch of how our present complex business organization evolved should be interesting to the readers of this series. for the greater proportion of banking is inseparably linked with business. Many of the investment bonds on the market today are obli- gntions of corporations.
 The corporation, i'll it's essential pr:n- ciples, has been traced back as far as ancient Babylon. 1t grew out of the activities of families h commercial ventures. X family of fishermen would be as one in the ownership of boats, equipment and in their operation. Their trust in one another led natural ly to the recognition of each member as an agent of tue firm, whose acts bound the others, and to the unlimited liability of each for payment of obli- gations-features of the partnership. The corporation came into existence as an improvement over the partner ship in handling large projects and in limiting the liability of members. It is asserted by Blackstone that the cor poration as We see it today descended directly from the practice of Roman business men. The Roman corpora tions were known as colleges" They enabled aristoeratie Romans to engage in vulgar trade secretly.
 In medieval times the corporation form of organization was used chiefly with municipalities and ecclesiastical bodies. Guilds and municipalities were often chartered by the crown because they could exercise the power which the king himself was unable to wield.
 The American trust is not strictly American. The idea of trusts origi- mated in the middle ages through the desire of the church to get around the statutes of "mortmain." These laws were not favorable to those who had estates willed to them in perpetuity. The scheme adopted was ts have prop erty deeded to | third party, who would administer it for the benefit of the church. This Is similar to the modern trust organization, where stock of va rious corporations is held in trust by holding company. Probably the pop ular idea that trusts are illegal origi- mated in this first evasion of the law.
 The trade union has apparently al- ways existed. The Romans had them. In medieval times they were called guilds and crafts. Journeymen often formed associations for protection. The purpose they gave was religious vor- ship, but that was only a cover for what we would now call trade unions. They conducted strikes and obtained increases In wages.

Messengers of Death.

There Yre about 200 separate and distinct kinds of shells fired from Ger man guns, and each and every one of them has been given at least one nick name by the TommieS, according to London Tit-Bits. Some of them have been given several.
 The biggest kind of high explosive, shells, for instance, are known indif- ferently as Dirty Dicks," Jack Johnsons." Coal Boxes," Flower Pots' "Crumps,' "Black Peters or ''Whistling Willies."
 The smaller kind are "Black Ma rias" or "Woolly Bears according to whether the smoke they emit when bursting is black, or white with vel Jewish tinge.
 High explosive shrapnel and trench mortar shells are respectively "whizz- bangs and 'pip-squeaks,' from their habit of giving only those warnings of their approach. "Archibalds" are anti aircraft shells. Ordinary shrapnel projectiles are Little Willies."

AN ATTACK OF GRIP USUALLY LEAVES KIDNEYS
 IN WEAKENED CONDITION

Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidemic of grip which has visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are often very distressing and leave the system in a run down condition, particularly the kidneys which seem te suffer most, as almost every victim complains of lame Back and urin- ary troubles which should not be neglect ed, as these danger signals often lead to dangerous kidney troubles. Druggists report a large sale on Dr. kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an attack of grip. Swamp Root, being an herbal compound, has a gentle healing effect on the kidneys, which is al- most immediately noticed in most cases by those who try it. Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y, offer to send a sam pie size bottle of Swamp-Root, on receipt of ten cents. to every sufferer who re- quests it. 4 trial will convince anyone who may be in need of it. Regular medi. um and large size bottles, for sale at all druggists. Be sure to mention this paper.-Adv.

 This occurred during the beginning of what economists have called the industrial revolution" At that time there followed in rapid succession the invention of many machines, such as the steam engine, cotton gin. spinning jenny, and the like This revolution" ushered in the highly developed and organized world we live in today IL enabled Stephenson to bring the first locomotive to a workable stage in 1880. It also led 50 the construction of the first steamboat in 1897 by Fulton.
 These two factors in modern trans portaton have done much for the world. They have developed contin- nents. brought the products of distant iarl3s to your table. knit together na- tions through exchange with one an other. and capitalized the distribution of food. This latter is perhaps one of the most important b0ons it has conferred upon mankind. The fearful famines" of the past, where millions of people have perished through failure of crops in one district. could have been relieved If adequate transportation agencies were in existence and ready to equa lize the extremes of plenty and want maintaining throughout the world.
 But the modern transportation sys- tenn that has relieved famines in h. dia, China, Ireland, and more recently Belgium, would not be possible if the millions of dollars required for its ] financing were not available. And so almost simultaneous with the indus trial revolution people began to save and invest money. Savings banks were established and banks multiplied. It is an astonishing fact that previous to this period and since the time of Rome the accumulation of capital by indi- viduals was practically unknown.
 Now capital Is largely obtained by offering bonds for the investment of the funds of many people. Your city erects schoolhouses and bridges; your county builds roads, the country as q whole carries on its share in the pres ent war-all through bonds.
 Just as the funds of thousands of investors have made possible the re- building of American cities, so has the same principle made possible the progress and wonders of the twentieth century.

 The widest "booms' in America ney- CT exceeded that which occurred in Paris during the early part of the eighteenth century. IL was when Laws Mississippi scheme" reached the crest in it's meteoric course.
 In two or three years the manufac- lures Of Paris increased four-fold. The population was added to by hundred thousands. The vast numbers of peo- pie who came to Paris were forced to live in garrets, kitchols and stables.
 This amazing activity was caused by anticpations that huge profits would be derived from trade with the Louisi- ana province. At the beginning of the reign of Louis XV France was in seri- ous financial straits owing to the wars of Louis XIX Law was Scottish tinancier who submitted to the French government tempting plan for redue- ing the national debt by Il systematic cultivation of commercial relations with the French territory i'll North America.
 With the protection of the govern ment he organized, in TIT, the Com pagnie d'Occident, capitalized at 10O,- 100000 livres. His company was in- vested with the privilege of trading ex- clusively with the Province of Louisi- ana for twenty-five years. The intlu- enee of the Gompagnie d'Occident over Louisiana was made so great that it amounted practically to a new govern ment. In 171S the name of the con- pany was changed to the Banque Roy ale, with the king, himself, guaran- teeing the notes that were issued. In 1719 the company obtained a monopoly and the South Seas and was named the Compagnie des Indes.
 By this time so successful was Law in arousing popular interest that when 50,000 new shares were offered 100000 applications were made for them. Then the boom above described reached its continuation.
 The entire scheme was doomed to failure. Actual operations had hardly l been started when the government greatly increased it's paper money cir culation on the strength of this pros perity. People began to realize that they were riding on the crest of q l bubble. The end came swiftly and al ters by drastic measures he was forced

 Your scheme is preposterous in tkt extreme. It is of so extravagant q character as to be positively absurd. Then look at the recklessness of your proceedings You are proposing to cut up our estates in all directions for the purpose of making an unnecessary road Do you think for one moment of the destruction of property in it?"
 Such was the comment of one Sir Astley Cooper, a great Englishman, on the first railroad that Stephenson proposed in England!
 Other comments of the time are also interesting. For example, Mir. Berk- eley, member of parliament for Chel- tenham. said: "Nothing is more dis tasteful to me than to hear the echo of our hills reverberating the noise of missing railroad engines running through the heart of our hunting coun- try and destroying the noble sport to which I have been accustomed from my childhood"
 BSt this is mild in comparison with what one Colonel Sibthorpe said: II would rather meet highwayman or see burglar on iny premises than an engineer"
 Physicians stated that travelling through tunnels would expose healthy people to colds, catarrh and consump- tion.
 Witness this reassuring article ap- bearing in the London Quarterly Re view in 1925: Tt is certainly some consolation to those who are to be whirled at the rate of IS or 20 miles an hour, by means of high-pressure engine, to be told that they are in no danger of being sea sick while on shore; that they are not to be scalded to death nor drowned by the bursting of a boiler; and that they need not mind being hit by the scattered frag- ments or dashed to pieces by the fir- ing off or the breaking of wheel. But expect the people of Woolwich to suf- fer themselves to be fired off upon one of the Congreve's ricochet rockets, as trust themselves to the mercy of an engine, going at such a rate"
 Indeed. for long time, the nobility of England would not ride on the railroads. If any travelling was to be done they would allow their servants, with the baggage, to use the railroad. but for themselves they ad-

The first test a man is put thru for either war or life insurance is an exami- nation of his water.
