HER HOUSEWORK
Mrs Hernby Says Planters Bene-
dicta Is A Wonderful
~ Medicine.

Mrs. Hemby, of Laurel Hill, Fla.
who had been a sufferer from female
troubles for many months, tells in a
letter to The Planter Medicine Com
panY of the wonderful way in which
Planter's Benedicta has relived her
suffering and restored her health.
Mrs. Hemby says: 81 had been
sick for months with female trou-
bles. was sd weak and nervous that
| could hardly hold out to do my
honsework Now l am strong and
able to do all my work, and Benedicta
did it,''
Aside from being a wonderful reg
ulatUr, Benedicta is the greatest ton
ic for weab and nervous women. 1t
builds up the system and brings back
health and strength.
Planters Benedicta is a purely
vegetable medicine, being made of
herbs and barks that are admitted by
all physicians to possess wonderful
medicinal properties.
ii is neither injurious nor habit
forming.

The fact that Mr.. Griffith spent
eighteen months in France would
seem to indicate that Hearts of the
World is war play. To the con
trary, and on the authority of Mr.
Griffith himself, it is not about the
war, but about the people to whom
the war came-and for this reason
1t makes our recent victory real
Many war films have been devoted
so exclusively to photographs of
fighting that, for all they have re
vealed, the war might be limited to
the scenes recorded by the camera.
Others have so insulted intelligence
and pure patriotism with theatrical
rubbish, tacked-on melodrama, clum-
sy studio fakes and other devices that
many persons are inclined to believe
the producers guilty Of burlesque
ing the reca.t war, were such a thing
thinkable. Mr. Griffith has proved
by his Birth of Nation" and other
master works that he is man who
does big things in a big way; one
who stops at nothing, however SEEM
ingly insurmountable, in his honest
efforts 10 faithfully reproduce a Civ
en- condition Hence the very fact
that Mr.. Grifith's name and reputa-
ton are back of "Hearts of the
World" is an assurance that local
theatre patrons are to be treated to
something as real as it is colossal.

WORLD TOCALL
ON UNCLE SAM
FOR FINANCING

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Work dur
ing the past month has carried the
process of ratification of the treaty
of peace further toward practical
completion abroad, while the United
States still refrains from expressing
itself definitely one way or the 9th
er. The progress that has been made
enables foreign countries to begin
the task of settling down upon a
peace basis and of determining what
they must do in the way of taxation
and borrowing in order to re-estab-
lish themselves. In the course of this
process very considerable demands
are likely to be brought to bear upon
the United States and much of the fl
naneing of the next few months will
inevitably be connected with the
problem of exports and the making
of provision for the needs of foreign
countries.
Demand and Supply of Funds.
The closing of the Atlantic City
Trade Conference on Saturday, Oc-
tober %, makes possible an estimate
of the results accomplished there
with respect to financial negotia-
tions. It Is evident that foreign
countries want practically all the as
sistance they can possibly obtain in
che American market and that very
moderate computations of this as
sistance would place the figure well
toward two billion dollars in the inn

NUGGET NELL" DELIGHTFUL

Dorothy Gish invariably is delight
full in any screen Characterization,
but in Nugget Nell" her latest
Paramount picture which is being
shown at the Alcazar theatre today,
she is irresistible. This is a humor-
GUS travesty upon the wild and movie
West which all alike will enjoy for
its kindly satirical qualities. Miss
Gish has role which she handles
with all the chic that won her fame
in previous screen productions. She
is well supported by capable players
and in every respect Nugget Nell
IS vastly enjoyable.

severe shock to the superstructure
of credit that has been built up.
Meantime, operations on the eX-
changes need to be conducted with
great caution, not only because of
the fact that the situation is now
overstrained and likely to suffer a
setback at any moment but because
of the money condition. These
money conditions include not only
the presence of high call loan rates
but apparently a decreasing volume
of funds available for the support Of
operations in securities. The supply
Of loan funds usually received from
the interior has, it would seem, been
less in volume than usual due to the
local demands of funds to be used
in carrying stock of commodities.
This makes market situation which
calls for special caution.
Industrial Conditions Discouraging.
While the strong stand of the
President and his administration in
regard to industrial conditions has
treasured operators, it remains to be
seen how far it will be possible to
bridge over the present situation
without a serious check to industrial
OUTPUT and without much suffering
on the part fthe community. The
general sentiment of the country is
evidently behind the administration
in its coal mine policy, yet the ap-
plication of that policy in full would
not be altogether easy if "a Ylgor-
Gus strike should actually be at
tempted by a large body Of miners.
Suspension of mining, even in part,
would, as pointed out by the Presl-
dent in his striking statement Of
October %, result in the incidental
of many industrial enter
prises with consequent losses which
could not help affecting the value of
the shares of such concerns. Mean
while, the steel strike and other la
Dor disturbances are drawing to
close, and the outcome, coupled with
the lack of any support in public
opinion, has been discouraging to
those who contemplate the calling of
new strikes of the same general
variety. There remains the fact that
a period of industrial disturbance
and unrest is before the country,
and that great caution in the pur-
chase and holding of industrial Sc
curities is necessary.
Imitation Continues.
Active initiation of our banking
system continues to be the note
worthy feature of the time. Al
thoagh there was a temporary I'M
in the reserve percentage
of the Federal Reserve system a
week ago, it was evidently the re-
suit of fortuitous conditions, the
steady movement of funds being
downward and out of the system.
This again intensifes the specula-
tive situation because the margin be-
tween the legal required reserve OF
Reserve Banks and the actual gold
holdings is now becoming narrow.
It is not strange in these circum-
stances that call money should have
reached higher level, and that 1t
should react toward that level when
ever there is any excessive demand
for funds for the carrying of shares
or other speculative commitments.
This has been the experience
throughout the past month, as the
figures clearly show, and today the
Americus times-recorder., 1919-11-03

mediate future. Meanwhile congress
has practically reached the point of
passing the Edge bin which provides
for the creation of new enterprises,
supervised by the Federal Reserve
Board, whose function it will be to
take the obligations of foreign con-
Germs guaranteed by the governments
under which such concerns are oper-
ating, and use them as collateral for
their own obligations to be sold to
citizens of the United States in order
to facilitate exports which cannot
be paid for at the present time by
those who receive them abroad 1t
would seem now as if number Of
these corporations would be organ
lied and it may be that much of the
borrowings asked for by foreign
countries may take the form of ad-
vances to be made to those Edge
bill corporations. This may be a
convenient way of handling the fl
nancing rather than through straight
government loans on this market.
However, it may be disposed Of, the
chances aow favor large issues OF
foreign securities here in one form
o. another and serious drafts upon
our resources available for home use,
while a new type of securities is of
fered in considerable quantities to
our investors.
Investors Earnings.
Meanwhile, investors are obtain
ing very large rates of earnings upon
the new securities which are issued
bv home concerns. Both stock and
bonds are being placed upon the do
mestic market in great volumes and
as money loses its purchasing pow
er, the rate of interest which must be
paid in order to induce owners to
forego present use in favor of tu-
ture. has to be cOrrespondmgly rals-
ed. The rates for both call and time
funds during the past week have
shown a stronger tendency, and long
term borrowing is now being con-
Quoted upon a basis of high return
The fact that the new British loan
paws 6 IA per cent, with an addl-
tional exchange profit to be mace
from possible conversion, is IN itself
of the whole SITUATION
Not only foreign securities but Dor
rowfngs in behalf of domestic enter
prise are likely to be called upon for
very much greater payments IN the
form Of interest and dividends than
heretofore. ard those which are un-
able to make them viii find them-
selves left behind in the effort to
yet new capital.
Speculation Rampant.
In the meantime, moreover, speeu-
alton has become rampant and the
spirit is spreading rap
dly throughout the country This IS
lot merely true of operations IN Sc
.urities and OH the exchanges, but IS

yances in all cases corresponded to

not necessarily be serious, but it
must be considered that the mainte-
nance of such values cannot be per

minated when conditions may be-
come such as to give a sufficiently

TWO BROTHERS SHOT |. BY DEPUTY SHERIFF
Principal of Guntersville
 School Dead and Returned Soldier Dying

Hugh Haney, of Guntersville, and prin- cipal of the Mount Olive school, was shot and instantly killed, and his brother, Tom Haney was fatally wounded by dep- uty sheriff Bob Shumate, in an affray that occurred yesterday afternoon about four o'clock. Tom Haney was brought to the Birmingham infirmary last night where he is in serious condition having been shot in the head, abdomen and leg and his recovery is doubtful.
 The shooting occurred near Mount Olive. about fifteen miles from Gunters- vile, and it is understood grew out of an attempt to arrest Tom Haney, who is a returned soldier, having arrived from France about two months ago. Owing to the fact that Tom Haney has been unable to make any statement of the af- fair, details of the shooting were not available last night, other than it grew out of an attempted arrest
 Shumate was arrested and placed in the Guntersville jail on a charge of murder. and a warrent sworn out by relatives of the deceased
 At late hour last night the condition of Tom Haney was critical.

Brief Account of Sermons
 Preached inLocaL Churches

Tt is right and fitting that Alabama should erect a suitable memorial to her brave and patriotic sons who enlisted in the cause of liberty. Every citizen should have part in it.
 "The Master himself erected three memorials while here upon earth-not memorials in stone or other earthly ma terials, but in words that live and shall live till time shall be no more The first was to the man who gave cup of cold water in the name of deciple. God is not unmindful of the little acts of kind ness that give expression to the heart within. God does not prize us for the great things we do that attracts the at tention and brings the applause of the world, but for the little unconscious | deeds of kindness We do which the-world never notes or applauds God looks at the heart.
 The second monument the Master erected was to the widow woh cast in two-fifths of a cent in the treasursz Others had cast in of their abundance but she of her penury. It is not how much we give, but the spirit that prompts the gift and the sacrifice and devotion the gift represents She gave her all. Let no one hide behind this widow and excuse himself from doing something really worth while by making an insifnificant offering to worthy ob- jects. If we would have her blessing We must have her spirit and put our all upon the altar.
 The third monument the Master erect ed was to Mary, who just before the crucifixion broke the alabaster box of precious ointment and annointed the Master Certainly the carping critics were there, they always are when some. one wants to do beautiful thing. The cry Of extravaganza is heard from those who do nothing themselves. They insist the pastors salary is too high, the music is needless luxury and the money spent in church houses might better be given to some charity. The Master said: She hath done what she could Have you?
 -Four lessons from these incidents: First, lesson in appreciation. Do we take things for granted? Do we appre- ciate the goodness of God the blessings of friends and loved ones, our country. our men. Christ was the most apprecia tive of men. Second, lesson in demor- stration. Each of these people gave practical expression to their feelings Are we holding back the words of appre- citation or keeping the flowers till too late to bless and cheer those we love? Third, any good that we may do to others, prompted by a pure motive, will be accepted by the Master as though it were done to him. In as much as you have done it unto one. of the least of these, I will consider that you have done it unto me- Fourth, let us give our best. Only that which we give away will be ours in eternity. That which goes out of your purse will go into your character"

raised by them the most interesting question dealt with concerns Germany 8 admission to the league of nations The reply denies the German declaration that the terms of the treaty with regard to the league are contradictory saying the paragraphs mentioned by the Germans are complementary
 It says the covenant of the league of nations declares that members of the league shall take the necessary steps to assure and guarantee the maintenance of liberty of communication and transit, and also equable commercial treatment of all members
 Germany when admitted to the so- ciety," the reply says, will share in the benefits of these stipulations with other countries. Nevertheless, during the period of transition following peace, it is necessary to take into account the spe- cial ends which are laid down on page 42 of the memorandum. The obligations Imposed on Germany are therein shown to have the character of reparations measures, and their maintenance for five years. far from being incompatible with the people of equable treatment, have as their object to assure the appli- cation of that principle"

Widespread Demand For
 Economy In Man-POwer

The Standard Farm Tractor company of Texas has organized and will erect fac tory at an early date at Dallas with a capacity of 1000 tractors year, according to 4 Dallas, Tex, special to the Manufac- turers' Record. Headquarters have been opened in the American Exchange Ma tional Bank building, Dallas The officers are: President, James A. Stephenson; vice president, R. R. Boyer, the designer of the and treasurer, H. B. Byrne, and sales manager, S. c. Smith.
 The site purchased for the factory con sists of approxima tely four acres in North Dallas, located at the intersection of the Missouri. Kansas and Texas railway and the Cedar Springs road
 For the present but one type of tractor will be built, which will be a three-plow job rate at 15-25, and built entirely of standard parts by manufacturers of na- tional reputation, and will be equipped with 40 horse power four-cylinder kero- sene motor according to the designer, R. R. Boyer. No capital stock has yet been announced.
 It is estimated that there will be sold in Texas during the present year not less than s4.0o0,oo0 worth of tractors, and they are being bought by individuals, partner ships and communities. They average in price about $1500 the smaller machines being in greater favor with the Texas farmers.
 The Texas dealers have made careful survey of the probable demand and have placed orders for about 2500 of the ma chimes of various makes.
 It has been found while the tractor was originally designed to displace animal farm work, one tractor being equal to four $500 mules, that the real saving comes in the economy of man power. and that the farmer is enabled to do a great deal more work than he could possibly &C., complish with the four mules.
 There is also the added fact that the farm boy is more enamored of driving a tractor than he is of the mules. and that the use of the machinery Is having an unexpected influence in making the boy contented, more especially with such farmers as are able to acquire an auto, and that also has become a farm neces- sity.

Psalms Make Music
 For SOul-Dr. McNeill

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou an- nointest my head; my cup is running over" Psalm 23;5.
 From this text Dr. John McNeill, pas tor of the South Highland Presbyterian church, yesterday morning preached one of the strongest sermons he has delivered since coming to Birmingham. He likened the, Psalms to a sx-stringed harp, saying that playing upon each of the strings made music for the soul
 The Lord had prepared table in the presence of the enemies, thereby making for the greater joy and comfort and happiness of his followers. q once read of a feast prepared for the victors in a war" he said, which illustrates the point l wish to make. The king ordered the captives taken in battle chained to columns in the hall that he might watch them as he feasted, It was a delight to his soul to see them wall theie eyes, strain their muscles and exert them selves to break the chains that bound them. Their humiliation and their strug- gles delighted the old king, their con- queror And the Lord prepared a feast before the enemies that his people might the more enjoy their feast.
 Tn heaven there will be no enemies, and feast carfnot be prepared before them This must be enjoyed on earth, where the enemies are"
 My cup is running over. His joy was great; there was no limit, no end to 1t. There was a spring in the bottom of the cup and it kept flowing; he had to drink to keep it from running over"
 Dr. McNeill called upon his hearers to let the light of Christ shine in their lives; to. give expression to their joy; to show the blessings they have received from God.
 Shake hands with tine person sitting next to your" he urged. You may not know him, but you both come to God S house to worship; you should know each other"
 Dr. McNeill's wife and three sons and two daughters who arrived Saturday from England attended the services The congregation will give a social affair at the church next Friday night in com pliment to them, and to formally well come the pastor and his family to Bir- mingham.
