Banker Deaf for Years Now
 Hears Perfectly

Mir. John L. Ellerman, President of the Farmers National Bank, Fairfax, South Dakota, says that after sui fering from deafness for many years he can now hear the slightest whisper and is 80 proud and happy of his own good fortune that he wants everyone who is deaf or hard of hearing to know about it. After trying every thing he could hear of without sue cess, Mfr. Ellerman finally saw the an- nouncement of a New York firm stat ing that they had perfected new hearing device called the Acousticon which would enable anyone whose auditory nerve was not entirely de- stroyed to hear as perfectly as those with normal hearing. As this firm offered to send their product on Ten Days Free Trial-no deposit-no c. o. D., he decided to try it. To his utter amazement and delight, he found that this remarkable invention enabled him to hear all sounds as clearly as when a boy. He has since recommend ed it to a number of his friends and they also report most satisfactory re- suits. If you want to hear again as we'll as when a child, write the Dicto- graph Products Corporation, Suite 1300-J, No. -220 W. 42nd Street, New York City, and ask them to send you an Acousticon on Ten Days Free Trial. There are no strings attached to their offer. The trial is absolutely free. Just send them your name and address. Adv.

Only NJ. Rakovsky, head of the delegation, will remain in London as official representative.
 If parliament ratifies the treaty, the Soviets will establish an embassy in London, and it is rumored that NJ Rakovsky will be the first ambassador He probably will be an ambassador without an embassy, however, as the building which served as embassy dur irsr the czarist regime still is being held by NJ.

GERMAN CHURCH OPENSCAMPAIGN
 ON RACE SUICIDE
Evangelicalists Move Also Aimed At Free Love
 And Drunkenness
By ERIC KEYsER (By Leased Wire To The Age-Herald)


 BERLIN, Aug. 9.-In an effort to combat the alleged physical and moral disruption of German family life, the German Evangelical church has begun strong fight "to win back laborers and others to the church and to God" A campaign has also been launched to check and, it is hoped, to eradicate, race suicide, which of late years has shown an alarming increase.
 The aims of the church movement were outlined today by Professor Titus, head of the theological department of the Berlin university, who added that the fight also centers on the elimina- ton of prostitution, free love and drunk enness, the improvement of dwelling and working conditions and the de- crease of divorce.
 Infant Mortality Lower
 Infant mortality is now decreasing, the professor said.
 "In this connection, we comprehend how fateful is the fight for non-pun- ishment of abortion. In 1916, the na- tion was mortified at the official an- nouncement that abortions had reached several hundred thousands. But today we have gone so far that, according to the experts, one-half the unborn children in Germany are killed by birth control. We must cling to the law against abortions, both from religious motives and for the sake of the Fa- therland." s--
 Professor Titus estimates there is one divorce in Germany to every twelve marriages, while the fall in the birth rate is alarming. In 1900, there were less than 100000 births annually, while now the rate is 6 per cent lower tha nit was at that time. Rr
 Family Life Disrupted
 There is no doubt that German fam fly life, physically and morally, has been badly disrupted. It must be re- constructed, but only by the purifica- tion of married life, based on the teach ings of the Bible," he said. I5s
 There has been an alarming increase in free love and illegitimacy, the pro- lessor pointed out, while more liquor is drunk, he claims, than is good for the nation. The church is therefore taking part in the newborn temperance movement.
 Professor Titus concluded with a reference to bad housing conditions. Where many are huddled together in single rooms, the effect was regretta- ble on both morality and health, he said. The church proposed that communities especially honor virgins, since nowa- days many women necessarily cannot marry.

KHAN WILL ENTER.
 OKLAHOMA VOTE
Effort To Avoid Issue Fails During State
 Committee Meeting

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug. B. After a morning of oratory, during which several members denounced J. c. Walton, democratic senatorial nominee, declaring they would not support him this fall, the democratic state central committee this afternoon was in a calmer mood and adjourned without bringing the Walton issue to vote. The democratic national platform was approved and preliminary plans for the state organization perfected.
 Kirby Fitzpatrick of Ardmore twice sought to have the committee voice it's opposition to injection of the Ku Klux KIan issue into state races. Both times he was voted down, the commit tee finally approving the national dem ocratic platform. An attempt was made to bring Walton before the com mittee today but the former governor declined to appear stating he would do so only after he was officially notified of his nomination.
 Fitzpatrick, in speaking this after noon against the injection of the klan issue, declared it would split the party and Twill bring bloodshed to thls state."
 Only a mild ripple of disapproval came up during the afternoon session, Fitzpatrick attempting to have the com mittee vote upon an amendment to the platform resolution that any issue re- jected by the New York convention shall not be injected into the state race. Ie was voted down and the resolution pledging the state organization to the New York platform, approved.
 Although it had been declared some of the committee members would bolt the meeting if Walton was indorsed or approved, theres were no defections.
