by way Of explanation and justification
for the sort Of young Englishman he

that impression II can. by exposing
some Of the mechanism that works his
conduct. I think I can do this because
I know him very well, understand the
mainsprings of his actions. and I re-
spect them.
so much has been said about an
Englishman's natural reticence, the re-
preston of his emotions, and his avoid
ance. with a sort Of horror, of anything
natural that TIL leave those things

had little thought OF ever entering the

written for him. and here is how 1t
happened:
After his apprenticeship with the min
strels, Beckwith, In search OF employ
men, and having become fancy diver
and swimmer--as monw OF his family
are--went to Paris. where he did high
dive as part Of spectacle called The

accident broke both his knees, and Beck

occupation,
He came 70 America and secured a
post as ticket seller for an animal show
which was playing tent stands. He al
ways loved dumb animals and soon be-
came interested In the wild beasts OF this
show and on the side became an assist
ant trainer. One OF the stunts was 20

OF the animal. The trainer must mark
well the high light characteristics OF his
pet, no matter how wild or untamed the
animal may be. and not try to force the
beast to do something for which he
shows no aptitude. I am never over

has the patience, kindness for his pets, a

his charges.

Easy Now to Rid :
Y0urFarm0 0fRats
Wonderful Discovery by Noted
Scientist Kills Every Rat
Within a Weeks Time
Not a Poison.
ADVERTISEMENTS

Rats cost farmers over two hundred
millions Of dollars a year, through the
destruction of grain, poultry and
buildings. Farmers need no longer
suffer this loss Lecause they can now
kill off all the rats on their farm in
less than weeks time. This is pos
sible through the remarkable discov-
cry of E. R. Alexander, Kansas City
chemist, who has perfected virus
which kills rats, mice and gophers as
though by magic. This product is not
a poison can be eaten by human
beings or any animal on the farm as
safely as their regular food, but
means quick, sure death to rats.
The nonpartisan leader., 1921-10-17

This wonderful rat virus, which is
known as Alexander Rat-Killer, is
merely mixed with bread or meat
scraps and placed where rats, mice or
gophers can get to it. Within few
hours after rat has eaten Alexander
Rat-Killer he gets a high fever and
suffers terrible thirst. He leaves the
barns and nesting holes and goes to
the open fields in search of pure air
and running water. Rats and mice
affected always die away from the
barns and houses, so there is no odor.
It is scientific fact that one rat
affects others and soon the whole COL
ony leaves the buildings and dies. And
though this virus is absolutely deadly
to rats-chickens, hogs, cattle or any
farm animal can eat it and not be
affected at all.
So confident is Mr.. Alexander that
Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat
on your farm in less than a weeks
time that he offers to send, as an in
troductory offer, regular $500 tube
for only S1.00. Give it according to directions,
and if at the end of weeks time you are able
to discover any rats. mice or gophers your
farm, your money will be refunded. A big
Kansas City bank guarantees that Mr., Alex
ander is reliable and will do as he says.
Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. R.
Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 118 Gate
way Station, Kansas City, Mo-, and the tube
will be mailed at once. When it arrives nay
the postman only one dollar and postage on
the guarantee that if not absolutely satsfac-
tory your money will be returned without ques-
ton. Write today postcard will do-and
stop your rat losses now.

Tha United States has rejected
proposals made by foreign dele
gates to the armament conference
that separate economic confer
ence be held here to discuss world
financial matters, it was stated of
ficially today.
American Firm In Stand.
All Of the participating powers have
made suggestions that there should
be an economic conference, 1t was
said. but the United States has been
firm in It's stand that the primary
purpose Of the present conference is
Limitation of armaments and that this
Government desires to settle that
matter first.
Officials Of this Government take
the position that IL the United States
should initiate an economic confer
ence 1t would place this Government
in position Of having to make pro
posals to the other nations.
There have been many indications
that the foreign delegates. now here,
would like to discuss the question of
foreign debts, 1t was said, but this
Government does not believe this
question should be taken up at this
time.
A successful outcome of the arma-
ment conference would have q
remedial effect upon world economic
conditions, officials here believe, and
until this conference has completed
its work discussion of economic
matters would be out Of place. Off
cials today said progress of the con-
ference has already had a stabilizing
effect upon foreign exchange.
