TUBERCULOSIS

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept 1.--Complete
eradication of tuberculosis among eat
tie is practical possibility, DIR. }. A.
Kiernan, chairman of the international
tuberculosis committee and connected
with the department of agriculture, de-
clared here today before the American
Veterinary Medical Association.
DIR. Kiernan placed before the con-
vention showing that cattle inrection
of this character has been greatly re-
dueed and is now comparatively light.
.'In 81 states, comprising 46.2 per
cent of the area of this country and con
tanning more than 40 per cent of the
cattle of the country, there is less than
one per cent of tuberculosis, said DIR.
Kiernan. ''The livestock owners lii
those states have decided that the dis
ease shall be eradieated. In this area
there is such an active sentiment
against the plague that it does not seen,
too much to expect that within 10 years
it will be entirely eradicated or reduced
20 minimum.
"Inasmuch as it has been demon
stated that bovine tuberculosis may be
eradicated from an individual herd or
& group of herds or from all the herds
within cireumscribed area, there Is
no reason to believe that the campaign
maugurated in 1917, will be abandoned
until it is wiped out in every county in
the United States. y
DR.. Kiernan called attention TO the
rapid progress that is being made il
many states where there is a high per
ceutapc of tuberculosis.

OLDEST ALASKAN
BEAR IS KILLED
THE HEAD AND SKIN WERE
SHIPPED TO SEATTLE AND
WILL BE MOUNTED.

SEATTLE, Wash.-What is believ-
ed to be Alaska's oldest bear was kill
ed by an Indian hunter near Anchor
age, and the hide and head sent here
on the steamship Queen.
The animal when alive must have
made an impressive appearance, for
the skin measures eleven feet one inch
from tip to tip and the height at the
shoulder was six feet.
The Indian hunter and white men
who traded for the pelt estimated the
weight OF the bear at LOO pounds.
Bruin was of the Kadiak islands spe-
cies, said to be the largest of bears.
According to Indians who have in
habited the Anchorage section for
generations, the fact that this old bear
was toothess and almost clawless
leads them to believe it is one that has
been hunted for half century.
Their forefathers held a grudge
against the old bear because in an
early day, while i'll the prime of youth,
he is alleged to have cornered and de-
stroyed half OF a sea coast settlement
of fisher Indians.
The head and skin are being mount
ed for the country home of f. F.
Brent, a fish merchant.

YOUNG WOMAN FADES.

DENVER, Colo.-"Where he goes

surveyed what to many women would
have meant the collapse of a romance.
Elizabeth Calhoun Randolph Hill,
daughter of wealthy Kankakee (ln)
woman, who married an ex-convict to
reform him, still thinks her theory is
good in spite of the fact her husband
is in the Denver jail.
81 know that a man who has lnSplr
ed the love that he inspired in me must
be as good as he is kind" she contin-
ued. IF he did what they say he did
it was for love of me- No matter how
many the years may be | shall be
waiting for him."
A year ago Mrs. c. W. Dawson, Of
Kankakee, widow of Charles Dawson
automobile and real estate dealer, be-
came interested in the story of John
Randolph, who was serving a twenty
five year sentence in the Missouri pen
itentiary for burglary. She finally OBJ
tanned his release and got his promise
to lead a straight life. She took him
home with her and introduced him
to her daughter, Elizabeth Calhoun
University of Chicago graduate and
newspaper writer.
John Randolph began life anew in
Chicago under the name of David Hill
In short time he had won the love
of Elizabeth and they were married
last September at Moline, Ill. For a
time they lived in Chicago and finally
drifted west to Denver.
Randolph intended to go straight
but he met a man named Deacon, who
had been in the penitentiary with him,
and they thought of an easier way to
make living The result is that Ran
dolph is in jail in Denver on charge
of robbing an apartment and his wife
is in another part of the same jail,
while her part in the robbery, if any,
is being investigated.

HUMAN INTEREST IN BANKING

interests kept growing as time went
on until they became the most pow
erfuls factor in Europe. They handled
the funds of others and from the prot
its of these funds they re-invested or
speculated on their account until their
capital grew to enormous dimensions.
But when they backed Charles against
Francis and entered into politics their
funds were soon wasted. Their credit
fell. The name Of Fugger became only
of historical Importance.
Sir Thomas Gresham established a
very respectable system OF banking
for Queen Elizabeth considering the
age in which they lived, but the sys-
tenn went for nothing when the gay
Charles II began clipping coins tor his
loved Barbara Villiers.
Tohn Law entered France with a
perfectly normal scheme for banking,
but when he found it necessary to take
the government into partnership
through his association with the Re-
gent he threw common sense to the
four winds and entered into the Mis-
sissippi Bubble scheme with an aban-
don which had no relation to his COM
mon sense.
And thus we can &C down the ages
through the wonderful eighteenth and
nineteenth centuries and our research
will show that whenever politics,
friendship or pure social factors en-
tered into banking and monetary mat
tiers it meant the end of a decent and
respectable system. 1t meant loss and
deprivation to hundreds and thousands
of innocent people and it always re-
suited in hard times"
AS we broaden our field of observa-
ton to include the national field we
shall find that monetary factors from
the political or personal viewpoint
have not only in the past wrecked ma
tions, but even today they are holding
up the progress of civilization.
No better illustration can be found
than the Genoa conference. The admit
ted purpose of this conference is to
get nations together. Many wise and
prudent men have iterated and reiter-
ated the necessity for adjustment OF
balances and budgets, for rehabllitat-
ing money systems, etc, etc. These
are now platitudes of the most pro-
nounced type. There remain to be
found some methods of practically in
usage. On account of national likes
and dislikes the practically feature is
discarded. Politics with the secret dip
lomatic factor rule the day. The new
Cripple Alliance, as c. T, Revere has
dubbed it, between Russia and Ger
many has discarded economies for
sneaking methods. Possibly the only
good result will be to bring France a
little closer into the allied fold; for
she was fast slipping into an isolated
condition which BODIED no good for
anyone.

FIGURES SHOW THAT
RAILWAYS ARE SAFE
PRESIDENT WINBURN, OF THE
CENTRAL OF GEORGIA, CITES
INTERESTING FACTS.

That railways are safe, and con-
stantly growing safer is the assertion
of President w A. Winburn, of the
Central of Georgia railway, IN an IN
teresting statement Just issued from
his Office in Savannah, Mr. Wm6urn
proves his contention by quoting facts
and figures, and says that tWenty-nlne
millions of passengers have been ham
died by the Central OF Georgia since
a passenger riding in a coach has been
fatally injured. The last fatality OF this
nature was more than five years ago.
The year 1920 was a record one tor
heavy traffic, yet the number OF tatal1-
ties on the railroads was the smallest
in p years. Traffic in 1921 was not
so heavy, and figures just issued by
the Interstate Commerce COMMISSION
show a decrease of IA per cent IN the
number of fatalities from the previous
wear. Mr.. Winburn attributes the tnc
record of the railways in large part to
the fact that employees have been tram
ed to give safety precedence over all
other things.
The average newspaper reader VIII
perhaps be surprised to learn that
there are nearly as many persons
drowned accidentally in the United
States in a year as are fatally MUIR
ed on the railroads. All statistics tor
fatalities include automobile grade
crossing accidents and injuries to tres
passers, for neither of which the rail-
ways are responsible, but which go to
make up one-half of the fatalities.
Mr.. Winburn says that the handling
of a heavier business with smaller
number of fatalities is barometer OF
railway efficiency, and pledges the re
newed effort of the Central of Georgia
toward rendering to the public a
transportation service of safety and
satisfaction, in which the cooperation
OF the public is asked.

From the American Banker.

One of the most interesting features
.of the life of a banker is the human
interest which enters into his work
Many people who know very littie
about the banker believe that ne Is
some kind of Aladdin. All that II IS
necessary for him to do IS to rub a
special form of lamp and money 1undS
will be at once available. 1t IS the
average viewpoint OF the individual
that banker may do whatever he
pleases with the funds at his disposal.
Not Tor one moment does the would
be borrower stop to think that the
funds which he desires to use are, Tor
the most part, the property OF others
LETT for safe keeping with the banker.
On the other hand, the average
banker finds it difficult to maintain the
fiduciarv viewpoint regarding his Gil
ents' funds. When a good money max
ing proposition is presented Tor his &C
ton he must shake himself into act
uality by remembering that the funds
which he directs are not his own, nor
are they the property OF his bank.
This situation is reversed when the
banker does maintain his knowledge
OF the ownership OF the funds under
his control. He then becomes KIND
of ogre in the mind OF the borrowing
applicant. Under the head OF Dead
Horses Cannot Pull" there is told a
little story in a recent Saturday Eve
ming Post editorial which most aptiy
illustrates this situation.
"The banker said he thought the
would-be borrowers balance sheet was
all right, but one can never tell. NOW
YOU couldn't tell from looking at me
that have a glass eye. Which do you
think it is?'
The right" replied the borrower.
Eyes, but how did you know"
81 knew it must be a glass eye be-
cause it had a CLEAN of human kind
ness in it.
If the average banker is inclined to
dip into sympathy, if he is inclined to
assist his friends, if he is inclined to
abandon better judgment for human
interest reasons, his day as capable
banker is about over.
The aforementioned editorial goes
on 70 remark; But the history OF
money and banking would seem to in
dictate that loud protestations against
the 'usury' OF commercial banking, to-
gether with special banking programs
involving political, social and philan-
thropic features for special groups OF
peoples, usually mean in the end no
other than unsound banking, and that
in turn means merely that the deposi-
tor loses his money"
And thus we again come to the ele-
ment of politics in banking.
. The great and powerful Fugger fam
i1y were not only excellent bankers
but also wonderful spectators. Their

DISC FOR PEACH
CURCULI0 CONTROL
CLEAN FRUIT is NO SIGN
THAT ORCHARDS ARE FREE
OF THE PEST.

Peach growers can now get IN a
timely death lick against the curculio,
says a bulletin issued by the Govern
ment and State Laboratory at Fort
Valley, as the insect enters the very
HELPLESS and weak stage IN It's devel-
opment. For the past several weeks
many curculio larvae or worms, al
ter reaching maturity in the small
peaches. have eaten their way out and
made their escape to the soil, where
the pupa stage or stage OF transtorma-
ton from the worm" to the beetle
is passed. When the worm" enters
the soil it does not Immediately pass
to this pupa stage but first makes some
preparation for the Transformation by
preparing a neat soil cell. Upon the
completion of the cell the worm" en-
tiers the pupa stage, which is a period
OF inactivity and helplessness.
The time spent in the soil by the
curculio during the combined periods
of preparation and pupation varies
from twenty to fifty days, with an
average of about one month. The
transformation always takes place
within the first three inches OF sur
face soil. Therefore frequent discing,
especially directly under the trees,
where most of the insects pupate,
would destroy countless numbers OF
the pupa soil cells. The insect being
in helpless stage cannot prepare an
other cell, and as a consequence the
heat and pressure of the soil soon kills
the pupa by preventing it from devel-
oping into the adult beetle.
The destruction of curculio pupae
can best be accomplished with a Cal
ifornia Senior or some other good ex-
tension disc which enables one to
break the surface soil up to the trees
without injuring the lateral roots. The
curculio beetles resulting from pupae
that are now in the soil are the ones
that deposit most OF the eggs IN the
late varieties just before harvest and
cause them to be wormy. In order to
control the destructive second genera
ton growers are advised to use the
disc each week or two, especially I'M
der the trees, from now until the Ell
bertas have been harvested or until
peas have been planted.
Growers should not form the opin-
ion that the curculfo infestation is not
heavy this year on account of the fruit
looking clean and being free from
signs of the insect The clean fruit is
the result of the effective curculio
control program conducted by the
growers. To date 1907 curculio larvae
or worms" have been reared at the
laboratory from two and one-half
bushels OF peach drops" collected in
a nearby orchard on April 10, 1922:
This is proof that the insect is still
present in large numbers in Georgia,
and the acid test in its control will
come just before harvest of the late
varieties when the second brood of
larvae makes its appearance. The con-
troll has been very satisfactory SO far,
and in order to effectively handle the
second generation it will be necessary
to disc frequently as advised, and make
an application of arsenate of lead and
self-boiled lime-sulphur four weeks be-
fore the heaviest picking of each va
riety.
