CHINESE FLU
CURE SUCCESS

Rossland, B. c., Dec. 11.-Prom.
nent citizens who have taken a special
treatment for the Spanish influenza
from local Chinese doctor describe
the treatment as simple and not pain
full and state that rapid cure is eff
fected.
No bleeding is necessary unless
the patient is seriously affected, when
the doctor messages the body with
salt water and Chinese medicine un-
til black spot appears. This spot
according to the doctors theory, in
dicates the presence of influenza
germs in the blood; and. should it
reappear on any of the twenty OF
more places treated on the day fol-
lowing the original treatment, the
blood is removed by a needle pi,rc-
ing the skin.
Failure of the spot to appear sat
isfies the doctor that the germs have
been successfully attacked and de-
stroyed by the simple rubbing in OF
the solution. It is said that no more
than two or three days treatment
is required.

WIFE OF RECORD EDITOR
PASSES AWAY IN ASHLEY

After spending nearly two weeks
at Ashley caring for the sick family
this editor returned to Linton Thurs
day afternoon. On Thursday even.
ing at eight. o'clock. December 10th
we were called upon to mourn the
loss by death Of our dear little Wits.
She was taken i'll with influenza on
Tuesday, Dec. 10th, and on Friday
Dec. 18th gave birth to our fourth
little SON. On Tuesday she was
seemingly getting along nicely anc
with her consent we left for Lint6j;Si
to get out the Record. We had only
arrived at Braddock when we received
a telegram to return at once as she
was critically i'll. Being unable to
gst some one to take us back from
there we were obliged to suffer in
tensely until we arrived at Linton.
Here we called them up by phone
and Immediately secured an auto to
make the trip to Ashley, arriving
there about four o'clock on the fol-
lowing morning. Upon arriving, we
found that she was somewhat bstter
and continued so until about noon,
when she became gradually worse,
pneumonia having set in. She was
not to remain with us long, and about
six o'clock she called us to her bed
side and informed US that the end was
near. She rested quietly the last
hour, and passed to the Home Beyond
at eight o'clock. Everything that
human hands could perform was done
to alleviate her sufferings, but she
had been called by her Maker and it
was not in human power to save her.
She had reached the youthful age
Of twenty-four years and fifteen days
at the time Of her death, and leaves
to mourn her husband, four sons,
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs.
o. L. Elliclsson Of Tuftle Lake,
Wis, three sisters and one brother,
now in France.

mutual benefit Of all. For instance,
they will have an executive board,
each member of which will look after
10 certain line or department; one will
have q line on pure seed; another on
the different breeds of live stock and
where to secure them. He will know
just which farmers Of the county
specializes in Short Horns or Here
fords, or Holsteins, Parcheron horses,
Shropshire sheep, Poland China Hogs,
ETC., and can tell you just where to
get good sire or who wants to buy
one. The same will be true of feeds
and everything pertaining to the
farm. This information will all be
sent to the County Agent who is the
head of the organization, and when
the farmer wants to know about any
special thing he can write to Linton
and find out just what he wants to
know.
The past few years thfs county has
changed considerably. More blocded
stock is being raised, and it il no.
ticeable fact that most every farmer
who wants a registered sire of any
particular kind of stock, he generally
takes trip to some distant place in
South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska or
some other state to find the animal,
where in nine cases out of ten he
could get as good one if not better,
right here in his own county, and thus
save himself whole lot of expense.
But the reason he doesn't know that
his neighbor has got this fine grade
of stock for sale is because there is
no organization to gather the infor-
nation for him and the man who has
the pedigreed stock for sale fails to
keep the fact advertised.
With the Farm Bureau all this
would be different. You could be
'tput next" to the better class of goods
that are right here at home and if
yOo WSIC VlAo VI CuUSo WIN u3U IL 1OT
sale you would have no trouble of dis
posing Of an you could raise.
Our County Agent has done good
work in what little time he has been
with US, but as a matter Of fact he
has not been wi utslhnusggonohi
has not been with Ms long enough yet
to get thoroughly acquainted with the
farmers of the county or what the
farmers ars raising. He could not
be expected to gather all this infor-
nation himself, but must at all times
have the cooperation Of the farmers
Of the county, and the farm bureau
is the proper medium to bring It all
about. Then the county agent would
be Of indispensable benefit to the far
mers Of the county. We hope to see
the proposition revived in the near
future .-Haxelton Republican.

PERMANENT ROADS
DEPEND ON BONDS.
Senator Rogers Visits City
and Talks on Proposed
Trunk Highways

State senator John A. Rogers OF
Sumter county, recently appointed
chairman of the state highway commits
sion, was in Birmingham yesterday on
business trip. Senator Rogers was
the author of one of the highway bills
that was enacted into law by the leg
islature at it's summer session, and is
one of the most enthusiastic good roads
advocates in the state.
Discussing the state commission and
the good roads programme, Senator
Rogers stated that the commission
could not make any definite plans for
road construction further than to QUIT
line in a general way what was pros
posed to be done, until after the ratifi-
cation of the S25, 1000. 900 bosd issue.
The development of the road system
and the permanent construction of the
trunk highways on an extensive scale
is dependent upon the bond issue.
From reports received by the high
way commission and the State Highway
Improvement association, which is con-
Quoting the ratification campaign, 1t Is
believed that the voters of Alabama will
give their Endorsement to the bono
issue by a substantial majority.
County organizations are now being
formed to handle the campaign in the
various counties under the supervision
of the state association, and before cleo
ton day comes around. on February 10.
1920, every locality in the state VIII
have been visited and the good ROADS
proposition with it's attendant BENEFITS
to the entire state put before the voters.
~All that can be said at present.
said Senator Rogers, 'is that under the
act passed by the legislature every
county seat in the state will be on one
Of the state trunk highways. and
through one or more of these connected
with the county seat of each adjoining
county 1t is obvious that permanent
surveys of the particular routes cannot
be made until we know whether the
money provided for in the proposed
bond issue is to be available.
1--WE can only state in a general way
the routes over which these improved
highways will be built, but the people
of the state can rest assured that the
most feasible routes will be selected
and the most economical roads con-
structed."

JOINT STOCK LAND
BANK BOND OFFER

The Equitable Trust company of New
York, Halsey, Stuart & Co. and William
r. Compton company are offering s15 oo0,-
0oo Joint Stock Land Bank per cent
bonds.
These bonds are issued under the fed
eral farm loan act and are secured by
first mortgages on farms approved by
the United States government or by
United States government bonds.
The bonds are exempt from all federal
state, municipal and local taxation with
the single exception of Inheritance taxes.
The bankers offering these bonds have
secured the opinions of Is firms of emf
nent attorneys approving the constitu-
tionality of the act under which these
bonds were issued and the validity of
their tax exemption. The federal dis
trict court at Kansas City on October
81, 1919, dismissed the suit attacking the
constitutionality of the federal farm loan
act and the tax exemption of the bonds.
thus in effect establishing the validity
of the act and all of its provisions.
This action of the court confirms the
opinion Of George w. Wickersham and
William G. McAdoo, who at the request
of the bankers rendered very complete
statement uphcloing the constitutionality
of the federal farm loan act and all of
its provisions.
The bonds are being offered at a price
to yield over 4.50 per cent to optional ma
turity and per cent thereafter.
