DERELlcT RICHLY LADEN.

Synopsis. = Captain Phineas p.
Scraggs has grown up around the
docks of San Francisco, and from
mess boy on river steamer, risen
to the ownership of the steamer
Maggie. Since each annual in
spection promised to be the last of
the old weatherbeaten vessel,
Scraggs naturally has some diff
Guilty in securing a crew. When
the story opens, Adelbert P. Glib
ney, likable, but erratic, a man
whom nobody but Scraggs would
hire, is the skipper, Neils Halvor-
sen, solemn Swede, constitutes
the forecastle hands, and Bart Nc
Guffey, a wastrel of the Gibney
type, reigns in the engine room.
With this motley crew and his an
cient vessel, Captain Scraggs Is
engaged in freighting garden
truck from Halfmoon bay to San
Francisco. The inevitable happens;
the Maggie goes ashore in a log.
A passing vessel hailing the wreck,
Mr.. Gibney gets word TO a towing
company in San Francisco that the
ship ashore is the Yankee Prince,
with promise of a rich salvage.
Two tugs succeed in pulling the
Maggie into deep water, and she
slips her tow lines and gets away
in the fog. Furious at the decep-
ton practiced on them, Captains
Hicks and Flaherty. commanding
the two tugboats, ascertain the
identity of the Yankee Prince"
and, fearing ridicule should the
facts become known along the wa
ter front, determine on personal
vengeance. Their hostile visit to
the Maggie results in Captain
Scraggs promising TO get a new
boiler and make needed repairs to
the steamer. Scraggs refuses to
fulfill his promises and Gibney and
McGuffey strike" With marvel
GUS luck, Scraggs ships a fresh
crew. At the end of few days
of wild conviviality Gibney and
McGuffey are stranded and seek
their old positions on the Maggie.
They are hostilely received, but re-
main. On their way to San Fran
cisco they sight a derelfct.

"IHose Who Dance
Must Pay The Eddzey''

There's settlement in profit or loss, for
nearly every indulgence.
Sometimes the pay day is long deferred, and
IN that case the settlement may bear compound
interest
Often payment in i'll health is required for
the dance had with tea or coffee during earlier
years. Sometimes the collection comes in Sleep
lessness sometimes in headaches, sometimes in
high blood pressure, or In nervous Indigestion
sometimes in all these penalties.
Nerves won't always stand the whipping of
tea and coffees drug, caffeine
Ifyou've been dancing to tea or coffee's fid-
ding, why keep on till payment time comes? IF
you're beginning to pay, now, why not cancel the
contract
There's an easy and pleasant way to avoid
tea and cofees penalties, as thousands have found
with any neal-rich, comforting and satisfying
and it never harms. Even the little children
can have breakfast cup of Postum, with no fear
for what may happen to sensitive nerves.
Instead of paying penalties for your meal
time drink, let it pay benefits to you, by giving
natural health full chance-and begin the new
arrangement today. Any grocer will sell you, or
any good restaurant will serve you Postum.

sands Of acres Of cotton stalks
have been destroyed by farmers
of this county in an effort to keep
down the early weevil infestation
next spring. Farm Demonstration
Agent e. S. Wolfe says that ap-
proximately Is per cent OF the old
fields have been cut before frost
and that many of these fields have
been put in cover crops.
Farmers here are determined to
make cotton another season and
are going to try every method sug-
sested. The most progressive are
using approved methods. while
others will try anything once.
Much publicity on boil weevil
control has been given here by the
farm demonstration agent and he
has had the hearty cooperation OF
the local press. Each paper has
given much space to this informa-
ton both in their news and edi-
torial columns. This splendid SER
vice has made the work effective
as most of the farmers are taking
advantage of the information given
them.

funds available from the $500, 600

Allied Debts to Be
Devoted to Schools?
DR.. Fmley's Proposal Cams
Favor in Capital

Washington, Nov. % Capital
News Service) The proposal of
DR.. John H. Finley. editor Of the
New York Times. that the allied
debts, instead Of being paid, be con-
verted into a trust fund, the inter-
est Of which should be devoted to
the primary education. first Of the
children of those who were killed
or rendered unfit to earn by the
World War, and later for the educa-
ton of all children the world over,
is receiving much favorable consid-
Grafton from legislators and. edu-
Gators in the National Capital.
1t has been repeatedly said by
those in authority in congress that
no proposal by which the United
States would forgive" foreign
debts would ever pass the elector-
ate of this country. At the same
time many economists and fnan-
ciers see no way, in this genera
ton, at least, by which Europe
can possibly pay anything on the
principal of the huge sums owed.
even If they pay the interest.
DR.. Finley's proposal recalls the
Boxer Indemnity Fund. which, in
stead of being turned back into
the treasury of the United States,
has been used ever since the Boxer
uprising to educate selected Chi
nese students in American schools
and universities, with the result of
spreading the gospel of western
civilization and ideals throughout
all China. Just how much this
generous use Of this fund has been
responsible for the awakening Of
China. it is not possible to say,
but it is unauestionably very large.
Should it be possible to work out
practical plan by which Dr.. Fin
ley's proposal could be put into eff
feet. the cause Of education and
Americanization would receive an
impetus. such as it has never had
The interest payments of the allied
debts would doubtless reach the
huge sum of five hundred millions
yearly. which, devoted to the chill
dren of the world. would have an
effect on the next generation i'm

Samuel Adams. president of the

from tour OF European countries.
Mr.. Adams was Commissioned by
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton to Investigate the liquor
situation in these countries, espe-
cially the so-calied light wines and
beer phase of the drink problem.
Mr.. Adams made his Investigation
with an absolutely open mind on
this question. .
In his report to J. r. Howard,
president Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, Mr.. Adams
says:
The sale of light wines and beer

Bureau Federation on my trip this

tries.
found that in the countries
such as Norway. Sweden, Belgium
and Finland, where the sale of
whiskey. gin, brandy. ETC., was pro-
hfbited. or the sale was supposed
to be controlled by permit
system. Or sale allowed only in
bottles not to be opened on the
premises. that the strong alco-
holic drinks were sold illegally
and freely at cafes, hotels. beer
gardens, and other places that
were licensed to sell only light
wines and beer.
My Investigations show that it
is impossible to separate the sale
of light wines and beer from the
strong alcoholic drinks. and that
in the places where light wines
and beer were permitted to be sold
were to be found many immoral
women who frequented them to
secure their victims.
In other words, the places that
could legally only sell light wines
and beer were fiagrantly violat-
ing the laws of their country, and
were securing q. large part OF their
revenue and profit from the Illegal
sale of unlawful liquor.
