THE "EYE" WORM OF AFRICA
Dangerous Pest That Is Apt to Be In
flicted on the Visitor to
the Congo.

Every one who, lives In central AZ
rica any length Of time sooner or later
becomes affected with tie fllaria loa,
a worm which is about two inches In
length and the size of hair. Its larva
Is supposed to be taken into the body
In drinking water, and, when incu-
bated, 1t wanders through the body for
a long period. At one time 1t may
make its presence known in the fore
arm or the back Of the hand by pain
less swelling. At another time the
same indications appear In leg or
about tie lips or forehead.
Missionaries tell me that have sew
eral of them In my body, although,
save for the indications described, they
have caused me little or no inconveni-
ence. The worm Is supposed to end its
career in the eye Of the victim, and In
Africa is commonly called "eye worm"
because of this tendency. 1t then pro-
duces Inflammation, and, unless skill
fully extracted, 1t sometimes ruptures
the delicate membranes, frequently
causing great suffering and even blind
ness.
The natives take 1t out with bam-
boo splinter. But if the worm breaks
in the eye, TIE virus is liable to poison
the organ completely, frequently with
the result of loss of sight. European
surgeons, however, find little trouble in
removing it successfully.-R. L. Gar
ner in the Century Magazine.

"IF YOU'VE GOT A JOB,
KEEP IT!

This is the advice of the Illinoise
State Free Employment Bureau and
cooperating. employment agencies in
Chicago. "Only the most efficient
men can now get jobs" says C. W.
Sharkey, chief of the agency.
This is the general opinion of all
the employment agencies in the Chi
coga district. This is the first time
since the beginning of the war that
such a condition has existed, and in
dications are thae before the winter
is over there will be greater unm-
Der than ever before.
What is true of representative
American is likely to be true over
the rest fthe United States. 1t is
a significant warning to the ignor-
ant labor agitators, if they would
heed it.
And on the same date comes a dis
patch from the Attorney General of
North Dakota: "This state has never
had any strikes, and we have never
been troubled with matters of this
kind
This was a reply to the Industrial
Relations Committee of Pennsylvan-
ia asking for data on strikes and
lockouts. 1t is significant that no re-
ports of lack employment are COM
ing from North Dakota as they are
from Chicago, which has become a
hot-bed of strikes.
However, we despair for North
Dakota's danger. Now that this re-
port has been sent out, labor agitat-
ors will flock there like buzzards to
a dead carcass.

ELIJAH C. HUTCHINSON.

Business Man Law Maker Diplomat
The voters of the Fourth District
of the State of New Jersey are alb
solutely certain of one of the men
for whom they will vote on Septem-
Der 18th. and November End. Other
men who run for office can only tell
what they promise to do. Congress
man Hutchinson, however, does not
have to say anything. His record is
his spokesman. 1t is a record of en-
deavor and achievement that proves
him the highest type of man.
The Washington Star said on May
22nd.- "New Jersey has done better
than most states in sending success
full business men to handle the bust
ness of government in businesslike
way. No better example can be cit
ed than Representative Elijah c.
Hutchinson, whose personal business
achievements have been along lines
that fitted him peculiarly to legis-
late intelligently both during the war
period and the readjustment period
for the safeguarding of public inter-
est.
His record is one of which not only
he should feel proud, but one which
should stir the pride of the men who
send him to Washington.
Two years in the State Assem-
bly,.
Five years in the State Senate. The
last of these h ewas presiding officer
Three years as State Road Com
missioner.
Three terms in Congress.
The Hutchinson Cold Storage Bill
formulated by him, is the most def
mite action taken to reduce the cost
of living. This law demands the sale
of food products instead of boarding
them in storage in forcing prices up.
His business experience rs laud-
able a record as his public life.
Bank Director He knows how to
protect the financial interests of the
tax payers.
Commercial Casualty Insurance
Company Director. He is acquainted
with human values.
Merchant Miller. He has a flour
mill in Hamilton Township. He is
acquainted with the real values of
foods, so that he knows how to pro.
tect the tax payer from excessive
prices in food stuffs.
Fertilizer manufacturer. He knows
the farmers problems. He has a
farm of his own. When Congress was
on the point of passing bill recently
that allowed for stock explorations,
he blocked an attempt to loan fert-
ilizer manufacturers thousands of
tons of nitrate of soda which would
have meant taking four million dol

LIVES IN CONSTANT DREAD
At No Period Of His Life Is the Zulu
Free From the Fear of
Witchcraft.

The Zulu baby is born into the feaI
of witchcraft; in the fear Of witch
craft he grows up and when he sick
ems and Is about to die, his one thought
is that a spell has been cast upon him
for which the charm cannot be dis
covered.
All his life long he breads to meet
in lonely places the "inswelabova"-
an inhuman man, lacking only hair or
fur to make him altogether beast-a
sort of beast In human form who rides
backward on a baboon, ready to
pounce upon and make medicine Of
the unwary traveller.
In mature manhood he suspects his
neighbor, his friend, his brother, and
even his wife of having dealings with
makers of charms and poisons. He
walks with an uneasy feeling that an
enemy may have put medicine in his
path to harm him.
From every possible source, from
earth and from sky, from river and
from forest, from friend and from foe,
he is continually apprehensive Of an
evil influence coming upon him and
searching for a talisman to wear
against it.-Dr. James B. McCord in
Medical Missions.

KNOCKING THE PRESIDENT

KNOCKING THE PRESIDENT
A subscriber to this paper writes
us: 81 wish you did not SO love to
knock the president. He was honest
ly elected and is entitled to decent
treatment at least until his term ex-
pires"
We ar ealways glad to receive such
honest communications. No doubt
there are other readers who agree
with the statement. 1t deserves an
answer.
In the first place, this paper is not
partisan. islands for right govern
ment, no matter administers it. At
present the party in power has Woe
fully failed to uphold the traditions
of the United States and those of
the individual citizen. Therefore we
oppose the party that seeks to per-
petrate such laxity and inefficiency.
Woodrow Wilson is the high priest
of the system that has squandered
billions of dollars and set the Stars
and Stripes up to ridicule by his fan
tastic and visionary"L League of Ma
tons. He has weeded out of office
every man of ability because those
men aroused jealousy by their sane
and marked efficiency.
The writer supported Wilson at
his first election. (And wishes to ap-
pologize for IT'D Since that time he
has proven himself a conceited auto
crat. He was not Honestly elected
the last time. He took for his slogan:
"kept us out of war" / twas only to
get the vote of the west(where they
could not appreciate as we of the
east the necessity of participation in
the world conflict-they didn't have
submarines off their shores as we did
for instance) And so the returns of
the last election were tied up for
days before we knew who really was
president. Then Immediately after ell
eCClOn on Il IlO WAL pidt1OEHl He
calls for a declaration of war. He
knew before his election that it was
inevitable. Cor else he was afooD
And now comes the Democratic
Party and asks the nation to elect
a successor who promises to perpe-
trate the administration of waste and
bigotry and autocracy and delusion.
We will have none of it!
Therefore the personal will of this
paper is to support Candidates Hard
ing and Coolidge-men of level and
sane heads who have proven them
selves worthy to keep the faith of
Americanism and national integrity,
and who have never uttered such
Pro-German filth as has issued from
the periodicals of Cox. The ex-service
men who have seen and smelled the
rottenness of Germany's vomiting
are of the same mind.

vote FOR THE BETTER MAN

(The following is reproduced from
THE FRENCHTOWN INDEPEN-
DENT of yesterday. It is always
gratifying to find ones convictions
in print, and this article deserves the
highest praise for it's unbiased ex-
preston. 1t speaks for itself and
needs no justification. Editor.)
It is the fixed policy of the IN
DEPENDENT to support those can
didates for public office who are,
in our opinion, the best fitted for
the offices for which they are RUM
ing. We are opposed to that narrow
partisan policy which leads other
wise intelligent citizens to disregard
their own interests and the elements
of fitness and ability and cast their
votes entirely on party lines.
When you select man to work for
yourself, you consider his efficiency,
integrity and ability, and his polit-
cal affiliations is the last thing you
think about. In these times of high
taxes, the voter ought to consider
who are the men who will most like
ly serve the tax payers interests in
public office, and the matter of whe-
| Their or not it is second term should
not be considered except in the light
of the fact that the experience of
one term is of great value to one ser
wing a second term.
Mr.. Judah Higgins is a candidate
for reelection upon the Republican
ticket. He has conducted the County
Clerks office with rare ability and to
the entire satisfaction of the patrons
of the office, and we do not believe
that there is single voter in this
county better fitted for the position
of Clerk than Judah Higgins. He
was elected by the largest majority
ever given a Republican in the his
tory of Hunterdon. He is better quail
flied even today than he was when
first elected since he has had the ex-
perience of actual servnce.
Mr.. Charles Holcombe, Mr.. Hig-
| gins opponent, is an agreeable gen.
tleman against whom we say moth
ing, but his education and training
have not fitted him for the important
duties of County Clerk. If you wre a
member of bank or corporation and
you had in your employ high class
competent cashier or manager, would
you discharge him merely to give
some other fellow salary? Would
you let the rained man go and take
an undertaken in his place when the
| services of both were available? OF
Course you would not. If you had a
Judah Higgins you would hold fast
to him as long as you could, and that
S just what we advise you to do in
his election. You know that your
deeds, mortgages and other import
ant papershave been properly cared
for; that the Clerks court work and
manifold other duties have been well
done, and you know that your best
interests will be served if you vote to
retain in office the man who knows
the job and does it.
Instead of supporting the "no sec
ond term" policy that the politicians
advocate when it suits their purposes
the intelligent voter should stand
ready to retain in office a man who
has madet good and demonstrates
that faithful and efficient public SER
vice is appreciated.
