BANKRUPTCY In
ENGLAND INCREASES
People Have Commenced To Econo-
mize and Shopkeepers
Are Hard Hit

London. July 27-English people
have determined upon a policy OF
strict economy resulting in a conslo
arable increase in the number OF
bankruptcies during the last 1e"
Months. These failures have occur
red not only in London but also IN the
nrovinces. Business men, however
are confronted by the fact that the
aggregate number is far below the To-
tai for pre-war years, figures for 1919
being 1877 as against 1855 for 1914.
while many reasons are advanced
for this state of affairs the most &C
ceptabIe one in business circles IS the
attitude of the buying public Wnlch
has decided only to purchase apsoIule
necessities. In consequence, traders
who have purchased large stocks OF
goods at fancy prices in anticipation
of quick and handsome profits, tlno

number of demobiliZed men VINO start

men. for the most part, were mex

women now are only purchasing the
necessities, the business woman added.
From every trade comes the report
that shop keepers and business
houses generally find themselves with
an overstock of goods, purchased in
hope of a big buying season this
spring and summer.

when the worms are on the march
or are starting in on one corner of a
field Of grain, head them off by plow-
ing a deep furrow directly in front of
them, then kill the worms falling into
this furrow by dragging log through
it. Where the whole field is infested
pillow a furrow entirely around it so
as to keep the worms out of the sur

tirely around it so as to keep the
worms out of the surrounding fields.
Keep the furrow free from rubbish so
that the worms will have no means of
crossing it. Shallow post holes dug
at frequent intervals at the bottom of
the furrow will trap many worms,
which can be destroyed by crushing
If the subsoiI will hold water well,
the holes may be partially filled with
water and a little coal oil or petroleum
poured over it., The oil will soon kill

ARMY WORM War
PLANS OUTLINED
(By George n. Mannina)

Washington, July 27-Warning Of
attack by the fall army worm was is
| sued recently to the farmers of tho
| Eastern states by the U. S. Agricul-
ture Department.
The fall army worm is already do
| ing considerable injury to field crops
in South Carolina and Mississippi, re-
ports to the Agriculture Department
state, and an injurious invasion may
be looked for in North Carolint, Vir-
ginia and the States to the North as
the season advances, probably within
the next three weeks. In South Caro-
lima the army worm has caused serious
injury to young corn, alfalfa and sor-
ghum.
By the Industrious use of a practical
spraying outfit to sprinkle such in
secticides as Paris green, arsenate of
lead or arsenate of zinc the farmers
in the path of the fall army worm
can prevent serious injury to their
crops, the Agriculture Department
states.
The Departments instructions to
the farmers relative to means Of COM
batting the army work reads in part
as follows:
Every farmer should have a CODY
of Farmers Bulletin No. 90S, which
tells how to mix and apply insecticides
and of Farmers Bulletin No. 752,
which tells in detail how to control
the fall army worm. The bulletin may
be had free on application to the De-
partment of Agriculture, Washington,
D. C.
1.-The farmer should keep constant
watch over the growing crops and thus
be in position to meet invasions and
vanquish the pests before they have
chance to do serious damage. For
those who may not have bulletins at
hand, the following summary of con-
troll measures my be useful.

BANK ROBBERS NEGOTIATING
 IN GERMANY

COLOGNE, Feb. il (by Associated Press) Bank robbers have been oper- ating in parts of Germany recently under the pretext that they were col lecting money for the allies for dam age caused by the German army dur ing the war.
 In one instance, according to stories published in the German newspapers, a man in the uniform of Belgian cap tain and accompanied by five guards and six Belgian soldiers, entered the bank of Probst & Go. in Aachen a few days ago, saying he was seeking stolen money. The man showed papers purporting to have been stamped by the Belgian minister of justice, and insisted upon making a search of the banks vaults ito determine whether the institution held any coin stolen in 1915"
 The man dismissed the entire force of clerks and then directed the owner, Probst, to open the vaults. Afterward the man locked Probst in his private office and helped himself to about 370,000 marks and 75,000 Belgian francs.
 Probst reported the affair to the authorities. The robber was arrested and the money recovered.

WILL EXPLORE ISLAND HOME
 OF CANNIBALS

NEW YORK, Feb II (by Associ ated Press). s).-Mustard gas and ma chine guns are to be used by Captain Harry de Windt, an English explorer, against the poisoned arrows of a tribe described as 'white cannibals,'' on Tiburon island, on the Pacific coast, it is announced here. Captain de Windt said he would leave New York in a few days to lead an expedition of six civilians and three score Mexi- can soldiers to the island Tiburon is said to have rich deposits of pitch blende, from which radium is made.
 The island is about forty miles from Guaymas, Mexico, which, in turn, is only about forty-eight hours by rail from Coronado Beach, Cal. The in habitants are said to be descendants of Dutch, German and Swedish pris- oners who escaped from Mexican pris- ons several centuries ago. Of sixteen persons known to have visited the island in the past few years, in par ties of two and three, only nine are said to have returned alive, the oth. CTS falling victims to the faxen haired, blue-eyed white Indians," as the Mexican peons call them.
 -Four miles from the Mexican coast" said MT. de Windt, '"Tiburon is easily accessible. Yaqui Indians who live on the mainland call Tiburon the Island of Death for the reason that any person who lands on it is shot by poisoned darts and then eaten by the natives. The cannibals, in ad dition to bows and arrows, use ar ancient blunderbuss. They are sup posed to number from five hundred te two thousand persons.

says His Prescription Has Powerful
influence Over Rheumatism
Discoverer Tells Druggists Not to Take
Cent of Anyone's Money Unless
Allenrhu Completely Banishes ALI
Rheumatic Pains and Twinges.

Mr.. James II. Allen suffered for years
with rheumatism. Many times this ter
rible disease left him helpless and I'M
able to work.
He finally decided, after years of
ceaseless study, that no one can be free
from rheumatism until the accumulated
impurities, commonly called uric acid
deposits, were dissolved in the joints
and muscles and expelled from the
body.
With this idea in mind he consulted
physicians, made experiments and final
ly compounded prescription that
quickly and completely banished every
sign and symptom from his system.
He freely gave his discovery to
others who took it, with what might
be called marvellous success. After
years of urging he decided to let suf-
ferers everywhere know about his dis
covery through the newspapers. All
druggists have been appointed agents
for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the
understanding that they win freely re-
turn the purchase money to all who
state they received no benefit.
