GOVERNMENT SAVES
 AMERICAN PEARLS
Bureau of Fisheries Working to
 Make Supply Inexhaustible

New York, Feb. 9-Hcnry O'Mal- ley, commissioner of the U. s. bureau of fisheries, has issued denial of the statement that Americas supply of fresh-waters shells, from which many of the finest fresh water pearls are taken. is near depletion. According to the commissioner, the fresh-water mussel resources of this country will last indefinitely. He called attention to the fact that the United States government has worked out extensive plans for the protection of mussels in inland river beds.
 Nfusscl Infection
 During the season of 1922, mus sel infection was carried on by the government on an extensive scale in connection with it's rescue of 139,- 173,7S0 fish in the Mississippi river basin," MT. O'Malley said. Rescue stations for fish were established on a large scale on the Mississippi river two years ago. When the water re- cedes after an overflow, fish in great numbers are left in stagnant ponds ard pools. Workers from the rescue stations return these fish to flowing waters. As they toss the fish back into the streams they infect them

 Basis Of Pearls.
 Mussels represent the basis of tho pearl fisheries of this country. The three principal streams which pro- ducc American pearls are in the Ozark region, along the Missouri and Arkansas border. There are far more fresh-water pearls than is generally supposed. Last year a pearl weigh ing 72 grains, and pronounced per feet, was taken from an Arkansas stream. One of the best finds few years ago sold for s3.0O0. A pearl known as the Risley pearl. which was seven -eighths of an inch in circum- ference and perfect in shape and lus- tre. was found at Peel, Arkansas, in 1913, and sold later for 5000
 Today there has grown up around the fresh-water mussel resources of the Mississippi valley an industry valued at approximately s9,000,0o and employing nearly So,oo0 people. At the present time Al species of shell have been found to be of com mercial value, aside from the possi- ble discovery of pearls. A recent tariff report shows that the impor- tance of the industry in this country rests in part on the fact that prac- tically every individual uses fresh water pearl buttons. the largest prod uct manufactured from the shells. ]
 The laboratory at Fairport, Iowa, conducted by the United States bu- reau of fisheries is making a spe- cial study of mussels and the fish upon which they live. Reports from Fairport show the usefulness of con rolled methods of propagation. The ish which were infected with the spawn of mussels in 1922 will yield

SURGEON OPERATES
 WITH RAZOR BLADE
Quick Action, Without Instru-
 InentS, Saves Her Life

New York, Feb. 9--Virtually to be snatched from death by the resource fulness of a young surgeon and now to have an excellent chance for re- covery is the unusual experience of Miss Minnie Lifshitz, aged 22, of 39 West 112th street, Q patient in Mount Sinai hospital.
 Last Sunday Miss Lifshitz lay ill in her home, a victim of influenza. A nerve center of the brain which con- trols dilations and contractions of the windpipe had been affected. The muscles were contracting and stran- gulation was setting in when Dr. Leon Antell, Al West Ill street, was summoned The patient had lapsed into inconsistencies before he ar rived. Respiration ceased, the heart stopped and to all appearances Miss Lifshitz was dead.
 Then with no other instrument than a safety razor blade Dr. Antell. who learned something of emergency surgery with the A. E. F. Chateau Thierry. performed tracheotomy, clBosing the wirdpipe, sitting it and with his mouth forcing air into the unconscious woman's lungs
 "1 repeated this 10 or , times q minute" Dr. Antell said yesterday, until after five minutes or so n sort of gasping sound came from the ex- posed windpipe. Then the heart that had been still gave a spasmodic beat or two. l kept at tine artificial Soon there were more gasps and the heart began 10 beat in regular and natural order"
 Then the patient. still unconscious, was removed to Mount Sinai. Miss Jifshitz now has a silver tube intro- duced into the windpipe through the incision in her throat and yesterday she was resting comfortably. In

short time, Dr. Antell said, when the surgeons are ready to turn the bre ath- ing back through the nortnal chan nels the silver tube will be removed and the incision allowed to close.
 Tt was fortunate that I arrived when I did," Dr. Antell said yesterday. Tt was apparent that all that was needed was to get air into those lungs. l was without any suitable instrument at the moment and there was not any time to lose. Some one handed ue a knife, but it was dull.
 Then some one else thought of the razor blade. l slit the throat with that, but the rounded corners made it difficult to open the windpipe once it was exposed. However I vas able to lift it clear of the esophagus and slit it that way"

Chicago. Feb. (By Associated Press)-The ancient Dearborn station damaged by fire four days before last Christmas, will be replaced by the largest railroad terminal in the world, if the seven roads now using the sta ton can obtain the support of two or more additional lines for plans al- ready drawn.

 The plans call for Il terminal dc. velopment approximately onc-third larger than that Of the New York Central on Manhattan Island.
 President II. G. Hetzler. president Of the Chicago and Western Indiana railroad, owners Of the Dearborn terminal. recently submitted the plans 10 the seven roads which shade the station, and. with their approval. has opened negotiations with the New York Central and Rock Island, which now use the LaSalle street station, and also the four roads which use the antiquated Grand Central station, in- vitlng them to join.
 The architects plans call for a so- called head house" composed of three units monumental forty story office building fianked by two twenty story structures. The three would front on wide plaza extending from Polk street. Dearborn street, which now terminates in front of the old station, would be carried south on either side of the central unit as a wide elevated boulevard. the two sec tons uniting south of the headhouse to be continued to 18th street as a 120 foot boulevard. Bridges at the sixth floor level would cross these boulevards, linking the three build ings.
 All tracks would be submerged, opening the entire present yard space from Polk street south to 18th street and from State street west to Clark street, for construction of business houses and hotels. This area is slight ly more than half as large as the pres ent loop district and about one-third larger than the Grand Central ter minal in New York.
 Development Hampered.
 Chicago's southern development has south branch of the Chicago river bending back toward the lake, forms a narrow bottle neck through which all north and south traffic must move. This natural handicap has been aug mented by acres of railroad tracks which have been crowded toward the lake by the twist of the river. As a result there are only four through ar teries between the lake and the river. ] avenue, Wabash, State and Clark streets.
 By carrying Dearborn street south l through this area as a 120 foot wide | elevated boulevard and also by eevat- ing a boulevard on State street, the | terminal plans propose to uncork the bottle. All north and south and east and west streets in the terminal area would be doubled with freight streets on the ground level and the boulevards above, following the plan already carried out on North Michigan avenue, and about to be in- stalled on South Water street, at the river.

LIOUIDATE
DEBTS FIRST.

The first duty of every man,
when the cash begins to come in, IS
to cancel his debts.
Our system of farm operations
makes the contracting of debt i'm
perative. Until this system is
changed, the hope for the next year
lies in the prompt meeting Of OBJ
legations this year.
For many months merchants and
bankers have carried Thousands Of
dollars on their books. The mer-
cant and the banker have obliga-
tions to meet, and these can not
be met until the accounts on their
books are liquidated.
THE CONTINUED EXISTENCE
OF TIE COMMUNITY HANGS ON
THIS ONE PRINCIPLE OF PAY
ING DEBTS FIRST.
Strict economy, careful planning
for another year, and desire to
pay, is all that it necessary.
We can not advise the farmer
to sell his cotton as rapidly as it
is picked. But we do advise him
to cancel his debts as rapidly as
he does sell his crops.
On that depends his hope for an
other year.
The crop in Sumter county, no
doubt, viii be short. We believe
the price will in a measure make
up for the shortage, so that the
income in dollars and cents may
be as large as last year.
If tais is true and if we, through
strict economy and wise manage
ment, put our shoulders to the
wheel, merchant, farmer and bank
er viii come through this year in
good shape.
