Parallel
(By Richard Linthicum)

With all due respect to the brilliant
powers Of analysis and eloquence of
Senator Harrison there has been no
truer epitome of the Monumental
Accomplishments Of the Harding ad.
than. the one presented
in the form Of an analogy by the de-
lightful humorist and philosopher, Abe
Martin, when he said:
"Pony Mopps, president o. the town
board, has only been in office six
months, an as result O. his splendid
leadership he has accomplished this
in follerin '1aa talked of swimmin'
pool, new courthouse steps contempla-
ted, reduction o. taxes in th' back
ground, four new lamp-posts prophesied
abudget system suggested an party
split almost ironed out.''
Like Pony Mopps, president of the
town board, Warren G.. Harding, Pres
ident Of the United States, has also
been in office six months, and as
result Of his "splendid leadership"
he has accomplished the following-a
talked-of and badly talked-of tariff
bill; new loans to the railroads con-
templated, a reduction of taxes in the
background, so far back they cannot
be seen; more appropriations for the
Lasker Slipping Board prophesized, a
budget system for ''paper savings"
and a dispute over party patronage
il Ohio practically ironed out.
These items do not include much
of the legislation pending nor the
eleven bills for bridges, three for pub
lie lands, two for public grounds and
buildings, two for dams, one each for
dykes, rivers and fisheries, and five
appropriation bills already passed to-
gether with authorizations to the Sc
cretary Of the Treasury, to issue GER
tificates of Indebtedness upon which
to borrow money to run the govern
ment while the administration makes
claims of ''great savings.''
The late Max O'Rell said: "The
hum orists are the wise men,, and Abe
Martin $ satrical analogy is fresh evil
dence of the truth Of the statement.

CORDIAL UNDERSTANDING
NEEDED BETWEEN THE
COUNTIES Of SOUTH
AMERICA
(By Associated Presso

Lima, Sept. 29.-A cordial reap
proachment between the civilized peo-
pies Of the southern half of the New
World is the urgent and immediate
need Of today, said President A. B.
Leguia, speaking at the opening Of the
Simon Bolivar Museum, one Of the
features Of the centennial celebrations.
The musem building, the president re-
called, was the same in which Boli-
var, iberator of the northern repub-
lies Of South America from Spanish
rule, drew up the invitation and bas-
es for The congress of American re-
publics and conceived, more than a
century ago, the idea for society Of
nations to serve as tfcouncil in
great quarrels and point Of contract
in case of common dangers
"Sueh was Bolivar's thought, a
thought which here took shape and
found happy expression,' contin-
ued the president. "a century has
passed and events have proved for us
that the talented iberator was right
and foresaw future storms. Ny gov
ernment is therefore of the opinion
that this occasion and this spot arc
fitting to once more proclaim, after
the lapse Of years, the need for fra
ternal union-vigorous and sincere
between the peoples descended from
the same generous trunk and their un.
ion, further, with all the other peo-
pies of America.'
A new antich tonic league, (compos-
ed Of people Of one hemisphere) the
president said, will nnquestionably be
the "opus which the future conceals
from us enshrouded in its 1mpenetrable
shadow But that which today is
pressing, the urgent and Immediate
need, is a cordial rapproachment be
tween the peoples of this hemisphere
and that an effective deed Of restitu
tion shall extinguish on American sol
all intentions Of and attempts at con
uest.'

PAVING PETITION
BEFORE BOARD

After strenuous work by those in
terested in getting the petition signed
for the paving Of North Main Street
from the corner of 18th Street (Rid-
dick s Corner) to the town limits, the
necessary amount Of frontage was Sc
cured yesterday afternoon and the Pc
tition was turned in for the considera-
ton Of the board. It is understood
that this question will be considered
at the next meeting of the Board of
Commissioners, which will be next
Thursday night, October 9th. There
seems to be no doubt but what the
Commissioners will approve the paving
Of this street, which for so long has
been a disgrace to the town and al
times almost impossible. It's compile
;tion will mean the development of
one Of the best residential sections il

J the centre, one of the most beautiful
streets in the country.

WANAMAKER HAS FAITH
IN AMERICA

New York, Sept. 29.-Discussing
the business outlook, John Wanamak er,
the New York and Philadelphia "mer-
chant prince' said:
'EI have more faith in America to-
day and more expectation of the fu-
ture than at any time in my sixty
years in business life. In our stores
we are expanding, rather than re-
trenching. I am asked "Why are
you putting fine goods to the fore,
such as jewelry and silver from the
Orient, when business is slow?' Ny
reply is L have faith in America
'There will be plenty Of work for
all if we show our faith. It is a mis-
take to hold back, to relax. to wear
blue glasses, to hold should make need
ed improvements, building and rebuild,
buy and sell, putting to work our
money, energy and brains, everything
we have to make the country busy and
prosperous
"Instead Of curtailing advertising
our stores are enlarging it. Instead
Of standing pat we are making i'm
provements which gives work to many
mechanics both day and night. We
mean to be ready for the good times
just ahead.
"France, Germany and England,
hit harder by war than we are, are
putting US to shame by taking off
their coats and getting to work.
Money must come out of it's hiding
place, in banks and homes, and Get
to work.

THE SPIRIT Of
PESS|M|SM FAST
DISAPPEARING
FROM COUNTRY

Here is some straight talk on ad-
vertising methods and on believing in
good times in business from the ad-
,-ertising manager of one of the largest
concerns in the United States.
Earlier in the week while the re-
tail groeers Of Wilmington were hold
;n,y their annual convention in Peters
burg, Charles w. Myers, advertising
manager for Morris and Company,
made a talk. This is a part Of what
ha said:
"lt is the function Of advertising
to instruct as well as to fulfill it's
principal message, that Of selling
goods. Readers often look at your
space, if you are an advertiser, mere
fv for the purpose of determining ex
aetly what your lines OF brands are;
whether your prices are e4cltable;
possibly cnly to ascertain yolr o">i-
ness address, Advertising in its full
est sense not only builds up business,
but it builds up cities and communities.
Advertising Valuation
Advertising is the very spirit of
current events. There is, however
still little Of the effect of pessimisn1
existing in the business world. Don I
listen to it, It has done its worst
and we are rounding the corner Of
gradually improving times.
t'Change your advertisements often
make them actually advertise some
thing, make them full of human inter
est, inspiration and pep. Get acquain
ted with your customers personally
and keep acquainted with them; stol
at no expense within reason and pru
dence to keep faith with your trade
You will thereby establish a reputa
ton for your store as going out o
the way to deal fairly with everyone
"There is unquestionally muc]
better feeling regarding business an
Industries everywhere generally. Price
are on a sounder basis and our coun
trv's condition will be satisfactoril,
met and solved within a REASONABLY
short time. Already the optimistic
effect of the trend Of cotton and to
bacco prices is being felt Throughout
the entire south. Talk good times, be
lieve good times and you will hav
good times'

The Worlds Banking

trialist who is interested in numerous

trialist who is interested in numerous
Russian movements.
''Other foreign concerns have flatly
declined to have any commerce with
the Russian Soviet and the actions of
these concerns have been widely ad-
vertised. The fact Of the matter is,
and many financiers see it that wheth-
er the present Russian government
prevails Or not, vast fortunes are
waiting in Russia for the men who ul-
timately must develop the country's
latent resources, as well as rehabilitate
the present rundown industries.''
A Russian refugee here once veal
thy and a member Of the old regime,
not daring to return while the Soviets
are in power, nevertheless has decided
to devote his efforts to promoting
plans to 'exploit' Russia at long
range, hoping to ''share in the profits
that will later make many Rockefel-
lers Of Russia.''
IT know Russia and know the Rus
slams and I understand what kind of
government exists there now,' this
man declared. "This government,
which has prevailed notwithst andiny
prophecies of it's downfall every month
for the last four years, will not be lal
mediate1y overthrown but gradually
will give way, as it has been giving
way, to q less radical ard a more rea-
sonablo regime.
| ''The new government will repre-
sent the different classes Of Russia and
through its agency there viii eventual
ilv arise the United States of Russia
"a United States richer in natural re-
sources than the United States of
America. This new state, deprived of
ready money by war and revolution,
will welcome the advent Of foreign
capital and foreign experts and I arr
convinced they will reap profits as
they sow investments.
He expressed the belief that TIE
present negotiations, which he said he
had understood were proceeding Csc
cretlv,'' would in large measure
succeed, although responses from
America had not indicated the propos-
al was being considered there as fav-
orably as in England and Germany.
The Germans are particularly anxious
! to cooperate with the English and the
Americans, he explained, for even in
dividual commercial alliances represent
to them "another link in a friendship
which may later result in new Ger
many, able again to take her place
among the great financial powers OF
the world.''

Berlin, eSpt. 30.-American, Eng
land and German banking interests
have begun negotiations looking to-
ward cooperation in the rehabilitation
of Russia through the financing of in
dustrial enterprises in the Soviet re
public, according to information
which has reached interested CONNER
cial circles here.
The proposed assistance would n,t
be based upon recognition of the
present government Of Russia but would
extended "with the conviction tbst
the Russian government would res
pect any contracts which might be
made,' one of the representati Of
"a London house, which is prom otin 2
the movement, declared. He ad led
that negotiations were begun Only
LATTER it was established :hat the
Soviet government was no longer red
but had swung to the right, and vas
aiming at something essentially the
same as the goal of other republican
nations.'
The Russian government is under
stood to have been informed Of the
purpose of the American, English and
German interests and to have been told
frankly there was no intention at this
time of making Russia fourth party
to the contract, but only the object of
"a solicitous and profitable, move
ment''
The Russians are believed to have
taken it for granted that the interna
tional bankers were planning "a ben,
evo1ent exploitation Of Russia, which
would not only yield them profit but
would help to stabilize the uncertain
economical situation there.
Certain Russians here who have dis
played lively interest in these nego-
| tiations assert there is a possibility
they will succeed regardless of wheth-
| er the present Russian government
stands or falls, although it is admit
ted that at this time the only result
Of the movement has been to secure
! the promise Of a number of individual
fut strong, banking houses IN each OF
the three countries to support the
plan if good evidence is offered that
the Soviet government will give the
foreign financiers a free hand.
GA number Of foreign banks and
] particularly English concerns already
have placed large sums at the disposa
of the Russians and also have sold
them much merchandise, in many in
stances extending credit for as long
as five years. said a German indus

Stomach Worm Most De-
structive Sheep Ailment
METHODS of TREATMENT and CONTROL
GIVEN

The stomach worm is the most de.
strcutive parasite Of sheep, according
to livestock specialists of he Division
of Extension. The effect of this worm
not usually noticeable in lambs until a.
bout the middle of the summer. How
ever, lambs or sheep may be affected
anytime of the year. The past mild win
ter aud unusual amount of moisture
have been very favor ably for the early
development Of this peat.
The presence of stomach worms Is
characterized by the appearance of the
sheep. The animal shows weakness,
drops behind the Aock while grazing.
The mucous membrane Of the eyes and
mouth becomes very pale, the skin
loses its healthy pink color and becomes
whitish in appearance; very often the
sheep has the scours.
A definite diagnosis may be arrived
at by making a post-mortem. This is
best done by killing sheep showing
the outward symptoms of having worms
After the sheep has been dead few
hours it is difficult to find the worms,
Us they soon die and disntegrate The
worms, if present. will be found in the
fourth stomach. Before cutting open
the stomach it is well to tie string g.
round the intestines leading into the
stomach, and another string around the
other end Of the stomach. This will
keep the contents from flowing out.
After this is done, an incision may be
made along nearly the full length Of
the stomach and if the worm 10 pres
