ing up of the front step of the open
door, there are other instances of
economic control that will be directly
pertinent to the conference. Several
of these, in which different powers

figures prominently. They are:
/. Occupation of the Sakhalien dis
trict of Siberia by the japanese army
and navy.
9. A Aninety-nine-year extension by
China as provided in the twenty-one
demands of the present lease of the
Liaotung peninsula, which expires in
March, 1928.
In both of these Japan is firmly de-
termined that her policy be accepted
by the other powers. Economic con-
troll, as effective as a door held open
by nayies is involved. The Sakhalien

by the State department unoer Mr.
Colby, but a larger territory on the
mainland. as well. including the
mouth of the Amur-is rich in tim

the district until stable govern

capable of making reparation for the
Nikolaievsk massacre of March. 1920
The syndicate of eighteen Japanese
COMPANIES now endeavoring to obtain
the concessions in the district, would
vigorously oppose the withdrawal of
Japanese troops, but whether popular
opinion in Japan would agree is
doubtful, as the Siberian expedition
was unpopular from the start.
The Japanese public feels differ

feels that it has been twice pur-
chased with Japanese blood. When

Ehrhardt School Opens.

Ehrhardt, Sept. 13.-The opening
exercises OF the Ehrhardt school were
held in the school auditorium yester-
day morning. The interest that is
being taken by the people in this
community in the education of the
youth was evidenced by the large
number present, the large auditorium
being filled to it's capacity. The elo-
quent address delivered by DR.. c. E.
Burts, Of Columbia, was interesting,
enlightening and inspiring. With
the enrolment totaling near $50, and
taking into consideration the able
corps of teachers secured, the great
interest manifested by the board OF
trustees, the patrons and friends OF
the school, there is every reason to
believe that this will be one of the
most successful sessions in the his
tory of the school.

Base Ball Season Ends.

The Ehrhardt base ball team
wound up it's season of forty-odd
games Friday by winning from Fair
fax by a score of four to one. Pur-
cell. who started on the mound for
the home team, retired at the end of
the third, with the score one to one,
on account of a sore arm. The jinx
pursued Purcell from the beginning
of the season to the end. With no
catcher to hold him he was forced to
do without his fast one in most of
his games and that fast ball was his
main stock of trade. Though the
rest of the stuff made one of the Tri-
County leagues official umpires (not
the one residing in Ehrhardt) say
that he was the leagues best.
Continually handicapped by poor
support and Intellectual receiving,
caused by injuries, etc., he was yet
able to shine in number of contests.
Among them one against Fairfax
which resulted in scoreless tie and
in which he allowed but two hits, the
one at Springfield against Pollock in
which he allowed five scattered
singles, walked no one and lost the
game on three disastrous errors. In
another game with Springfield at Ehr-
hardt, in which they did not have a
look in the entire game, also one at
Allendale, when his battery mate was
Gross, of Wofford, he defeated the
best team Allendale ever got togeth-
er. Purcell's cup of troubles was
filled out by a sprained ankle, a
sprained knee, and several sore arms
during the season. Through all this
he was grinning Purcell, the only
pitcher that could stand in his box,
see his team throw away the game
through errors, and grin and pitch
harder than ever.
The rest of the pitching staff was
followed by the same jinx as Faber
Kearse, who has pitched college ball
in four states, was sick most of the
season and, not being worked prop
erly, hurt the three inexperienced
younger pitchers.
The team started off winning in the
early part of the season but dissatis-
faction that crept in and the poor
support of the fans in general de-
moralized it completely and was the
cause of the poor showing made in
the league. 1t was only through the
continual support and encouragement
of a very few fans that the team was
able to keep the field. Mainly among
these we're Mr.. and Mrs. F. H. Cope

PROFIT GOES TO UNCLE SAM
All Paper Money That Goes From the Treasury and Fails to Return
 Is "VelVet."

If you subscribe to the philosophy that one mans loss is another man's gain, to whom do you suppose, does the profit accrue when you forget to take your package from it's hiding place in the pa~1or stove before light a dollar bill and it blows into the gutter and is never recovered, WHO profits?
 If you fall into the river and drown and your remains take their place per- manently in Davy Jones' locker, who is to the good to the extent of the modest roll in your vest pOcket2
 The answer to one and all of these questions is, Uncle Sam. Every piece of paper money that goes out from the treasury and fails to return, profits the government to the extent of it's face value. If it is gold or silver certificate the metal which was placed in the treasury for its redemption is never called forth.
 If it is a federal reserve note or a national bank note, the securities that have been deposited as guarantee at the time of it's issue, or their equiv alent, remain in the treasury. So is there sOlace to the patriot who so loses his wallet that if it is not found by another it's contents are applied to the expenses of the government

You simply rub it on and out comes the pain. It is perfectly harmless and doesn't burn or discOIor the skin.
 Timber up! Don't suffer! Get a small trial bottle from any drug store, and after using it just once you'll for get that you ever had backache, lum- bago or sciatica, because your back will never hurt or cause any more mis- cry. It never disappoints and has been recommended for 50 years. Stop drug ging kidneys! They don't cause back ache, because they have no nerves, therefore can not cause pain.-AdV.

CHAPTER XI-Continued.

 Harris told his story with such CO., herence as he could. He and his son had come up into the hills to arrange for the purchase of a property which they had become interested in through a third party, Gardiner. They carried with them a large sum of money as proof of the sincerity of their inten- tions. At this little cabin they were | to be joined by Gardiner and by a1- other, named Rfles, who also was talk ing an interest in the property. AS they waited in the cabin, and as he, Harris, slept after his long drive, they were suddenly set upon by outlaws. Allan shot one down-the body still l lay in the doorway-but was himself badly wounded, and had not spoken since. Harris had encountered anoth- CT, but after a severe fight the robber had escaped. The little black bag in which the money was carried was gone with all its contents. Although he had waited all night in great anxiety, Gar diner and Riles had failed to appear, and it could only be supposed that they too had met with foul play. But some hours after the assault one of the paAey had returned, dismounted from lds horse at some distance, and stolen Softly up to the shanty. Harris had followed him, and, taking him by sur' prise, had been able to make him pris- oner.
 Sergeant Grey looked from Harris to Allan, and then to the prisoner, who seemed to lie in a semi-conscious con- dition amid his bonds and gags.
 You were foolish to come into the 5g with so much money alone" he said. "I would have been at your service for the asking, and this would not have happened. But now that 1t has happened, the first thing is to pro- vide for the wounded man,. and the next is to place this suspect in GUS tody. I know a rancher's house few miles down the valley where you and your son will have the best atten- uon."
 The mounted policeman made brief examination of Allan, as best he could in the gray dawn, for the lantern now had no oil. He has not bled very much," he said. "He has a strong frame and ought to have fighting chance. l will just have look at the scene of the crime, and then we will move him."
 He made a hurried survey of the cabin, merely satisfying himself that the man in the doorway was quite dead, and then, with Harris assist ance, quickly found the horses and harnessed them to the buggy. He also found another horse near the roadway, saddled and bridled. We will make the prisoner ride his own horse," he said, while you take your son in the buggy
 They placed the wounded and still unconscious Allan in the buggy as gently as they could, and then Grey gave his attention to the prisoner Having searched his clothing for Weap- ons, he cut away the bonds that se- curely held his arms and feet, and re- leased the sack from his half-choked | throat. The man writhed and gasped | for fresh air, and the policeman drew l tfre sack away and revealed the face | of Jim Travers.

She must not see him just now. You will arrange that?" "Yes. But I must see hfm-I must help"
 Beulah hurried to the room where her mother was rapidly dressing. "A man has been hurt, mother" she said, with suppressed excitement. "We need hot water. Will you start a fire in the range?'
 Mary Harris nistOOk Beu1ah's emo tion for natural sympathy over a suf- fering creature, and hurried to the kitchen. Mrs. Arthurs was whispering with her husband in the hall, but a moment later joined Mary at the range.
 Then Beulah entered the room. The policeman was speaking to Arthurs. '1 must go into town now with my prisoner" he was saying "I will send out doctor at once, and in the mean time I know you will do everything g possible"
 Beulah turned her eyes to the bed. A man was lying there, and an old man was sitting beside it. At the sec Ond glance she recognized him, but in an instant she had herself under con- trol- She walked with steady step to the bed and looked for a full min ute in her brothers face. Then she locked at her father.
 What have you done to him" she said.
 He threw out his hand feebly. "You do well to ask me that" he said. 'I take all the blame." He raised his face slowly until his eyes met hers. They were not the eyes she had known. They were the eyes of man who had been crushed, who had been powdered between the wheels of fate. The old masterful quality, the old indomitable will that stirred her anger and ad1nira tion were gone, and in their place were coals of sorrow and ashes of defeat. For moment she held back; then, with arms OutstretChed, she fell upon her fathers breast.
 And then he felt his strength return. He drew her to him as all that re mained in the world; crushed her to him; then, very gently, released her a little. He found his fingers threading her fine hair, as they had loved to do when she was little child.
 She sank to her knees beside him, aud at last she looked up in his face Forgive me, my father" she whis- pered..
 He kissed her forehead and strug- gled with his voice. "We all make mistakes, Beulah,'' he said. q have made mine this 25 years, and there there Is the price!"
 His words turned Beulah's thought to Allan, and the necessity for action
