Ex-Sailor, Jobless, Takes Washings ]!
(By NEA Servtce).

l
 Fairmont, w. Va, March S.-Ever an optimist, despite almost a year of fruitless job hunting, Roy Schuman IS year old former sailor, is making success of taking in washings to support himself and his invalid par ents.
 Schuman was discharged from the navy in February, 1921. He arrived home to find his parents i'll and un- able to support themselvesa l Don't worry" he told them. "l'll got something to do and it'll be easier for us." -1
 Spring came, then summer and autumn, but all the work Roy had been able to find was just enough odd jobs to keep him from losing hope | Solves Problem.
 Just when things began to look pretty black, Roy got the idea tha' was to solve his problem. Since hls return from the navy, he had been doing his mothers washings-and doing them well, the neighbors said. If he could do washings for his own family, why, he asked hlmself, couldn't he do them just as well for outsiders?
 Against the advice of some older people and in spite of the jibes of scoffers, Roy went to the proprietor of a, department store and explained his plan.
 Interested in the scheme, the pro- prietor sold him an electric washing oln afrio iron terms. With these Roy went home and started to work.
 In three months he has picked up A record business and it Is growing larger daily. Down in the basement of the Schu- man home you can hear at almost any hour of the day the sloshlng and whirring of the electric washer and up from below comes the smell of hot, soapy things being made clean The Schuman home is encircled by | filled clothes-lines.
 Each morning Roy goes out with basket and collects the wash for that day and in the evening he car ries it back to his satisfied custom CTS.
 Doesn't Like It, But The eX-sailor was found standing knee deep in clothes in front of the sloshinS washer. A question as to whether he liked his job brought a wide grin.
 Well, I can't say I really like it, he said. But it's better than ordi- nary manual labor-and there's more money in it.
 There isn't anything about it tc be ashamed of. It's honest work isn't it?"
 Schuman is planning busily as he bends over his wash tubs on scheme to develop his present business into something greater He wants req laundry business, and is hoarding his savings to get it.

GERMANYS POTASH
 INDUSTRY REEVES
Arrangements Made for Resanp
 ton of Trade With Many Nations

Berlin, March 8.-Germany's pot ash industry, disrupted by the war, is rapidly getting on it's feet again Within the last few months, accord - ing to recent announcement, Ger many has concluded arrangements for resumption of her potash trade with all European countries, except Poland, and also a number of over sea countries, including the United States. The value of the total potash output in Germany in 1921 is esti mated at 2,500,000,000 marks.
 In review of the potash business in the Transatlantic Trade Journal for January, published by the American Chamber of Commerce in Germany, 1t is stated that relations with deal CTS in the United States recently have been re established, the American consumers now being considered, as before the war, Germany's largest and most important market for this branch of trade.
 The report says that Germany in competition of Alsace- Lorraine, es- pecialy in the American market, and bordering countries owing to the fav- orable freight rates.
 Of particular interest to America is the statement of the Chamber ot Commerce that the potash industry established in the United States dur ing the war is not considered in the least as a hindrance to the German export trade of the near future.
 The journal estimates that in 1913 Germany exported about 50 per cent of it's entire potash production While the export trade for 1921 averaged ahout | per cent of the business done in the last peace year.

GOVT, CONTROL OF SUGAR CONDEMNED Up to Public to Insist on Rest
 Producer Says

New York, March S.-Severe con- demnation of the government control of the sugar industry is contained in the annual report of Earl D. Babst, president of the American Sugar Re- filming company, which was read to the stockholders at meeting in Jer- scy City today. -..... Tor these experiments Of control and of decontro," he said the peo- pie of the United States and of the world have paid hundreds of mil lions of dollars. The magnificent sugar industry of the United States field, including the producers and re- liners, both beet and cane, whether of continental United States, the Phil ippines, Hawaii, Porto Rico or of Cuba, has paid almost with it's life. United States investments, in the hands of hundreds of thousands of people, amounting to several billions of dollars have been placed in jeo- pardy.
 Greatest Of Its Kind
 ''The United States sugar industry, the greatest of its kind in the world, ranking in importance with steel, railroads and farmgproducts, was de- controlled by legislative fiat and ex- ccutive order, without proper regard to elementary economic laws" The report shows a loss on opera tions of $2,177,27G during 1921. Sur plus was drawn on for $5,511,3G7 to meet operating losses and to provide for dividends declared. The operat ing losses were attributed to steadily declining prices The total tonnage of the country equalled that of the year before, and the volume of busi- ness amounted to $40, 0,000,0o0 Bal ance of surplus and reserves amount to more than $29,000,000.
 Up To Public
 'Is it now time for the pQblI, who must in the end pay the bill on every pound of sugar they buy" the report continued, ito insist that the sugar industry be given 8 rest from any further control or experiments of any kind, of any name. of any device, and be given an opportunity to recover it's position under it's own decision and administration In any event whoever undertakes to introduce fur ther artificial measures ln the present complicated position of the sugar in dustry does so at great risk and un- der grave responsibility to the entire people of the United States.
 "The reiner will assume no respon- sibility to the entire people of the United States.
 "The fetiner will assume no respon- sibility for the high prices which will come with any artificial crop curtail- ment or other experiments.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets
 are a Harmless Substitute

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub- stitute for calomel-are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver Is almost instantaneous. These little olive colored tablets are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
 The pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no f<d after effects. They don't iniure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel. Let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take its place.
 Headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards. Olive Tablets when you feel "logy" and "heavy" They clear" clouded brain and "perk up the spirits l5c and 3oc'
