You will admit that when seven million bottles OF
Korjola were used in two years that Konjola must
have merit. Well, Konjoa is actually 81 medicines
in one and of these 80 ingredients % the juices
of roots and herbs known for their medicinal value
Results are what count and Konjola can be counted
on for results. Take, for example, the case of Mr.
John H. Jones, 504 Randolph Street, Richmond. See
what this amazing medicine did for him, and then
decide to find out all about it from the Konjoa
Man, who is at the Peoples Service drug store, TO-
East Broad Street, this city. Learn how Konjola
cleanses the aing organs; rids the system of poi
sons and brings glorious relief from ills of the
stomach liver, kidneys and bowels, and from rheu-
matism, neurits and nervousness.
''Konjola is the most marvellous medicine l have
ever found. For several years had stomach dis
tress almost constantly, and especially after meals.

occupations. Big 1929 one-third o.
the negro population was in cities,
and the census OF 1880 will show ali
even larger proportion.
Losses in one class of occupations
have been offset by gains in others,
put the shifts have worked great
hardship. The losses have been in
certain skilled trades and in num-
cipal employment in the South, and
in jobs such as walters and BARRIERS,
both South and North. The great
est gain in Negro employment from
1910 to 1920 (the last year tor
which census material is avallable)
was in steel, meat packing, rubber,
and automotive industries. Cues
tionnaires indicate that the major
plants which employed Negroes be-
fore 1920 have since continued to
employ them in about the same num-
bers.
The Committee notes that there
are obstacles to the rise of Negroes
into the higher paying jobs, but both

cate an encouraging increase in Me-

educational guidance are necessary
in Negro high schools.
3. That, as in the case of agricul-
ture, facilities to raise the economic

cational Education and the Depart
ment of Labor, should be extended.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, January 81 (R. - With
Liverpool quotations much lower than
expected and the amount of wheat on
ocean passage showing a decided in
crease, wheat values here headed down
grade today. Further Russian offer
tngs Of wheat to other countries were
reported. Opening q to Il OF Chi
cago wheat later underwent an addi-
tional downturn. Corn, oats and pro-
visions were also weaker, with corn
starting "a to Il on and subsequently
sagging still more. Both corn and oats
made new low price records for the
season.
Word that export demand for North
American wheat had apparently fiat
tened out went hand in hand today
with news of 2,528,00O bushels enlarge
ment of supplies Of wheat afioat on the
ocean. AdviceS also were received Civ
ing details of a continuance of Russian
offers TO ship wheat abroad, and men,
tioning that full cargo of such wheat
is now being loaded. Notice was also
being taken that dispatches from trans
atlantic sources persisted In emphasiz-
ing the big visible stocks of wheat In
the United States and Canada
On the resulting downward swing
today Of the wheat market here, how
ever, active trading developed around
$l.25 bushel, May delivery, and good
sized amounts of wheat changed hands
at that figure. Meanwhile, a bearish
factor as to wheat was heavy hquidating
sales of May and July deliveries Of rye
here. Prominent among the sellers Of
rye were houses with foreign connec-
tons.

per cent per dollar on the value Of all
importations.
Few people recognize the tremendous
amount of work involved in examining
all goods which enter the United States.
In 1929, there were more than $780,
900 entries of merchandise into the
country thousands of them came in un-
der protest regarding tariff charges.
In the importation of this huge
amount of over $4,000, 000,0 900 of free
and dutiable merchandise, the United
States collected in customs duties more
than $550,000,000. But every pound Of
this great amount OF goods had to be
handled by customs officers to deter
mine the duitable status.
While IS per cent of all the goods that
entered the United States came in free
of duty, these free articles too had to
be checked carefully.
To handle the disputes that arise, the
United States customs courts were form
ed. The United States Court of Gus
toms and patent appeals has been made
final appellate, judicial, tribunal in all
customs matters. Prior to this, the regu-
lar District Courts, Circuit Courts and
the Circuit Court of Appeals were
utilized for these cases and became
badly congested as a result.
Prohibition violations might very
wisely be taken from the regular United
States courts in the same way.

soon found out that South America and
Australia had raised unusually large
crops which they were both able and
willing to sell below the price Of North
American grain. The native European
crops also turned out excellently and
American export came to a standstill
early in the Summer.
our large storage space was already
filled before harvest. The railroads. at
the suggestion of the Government.
sought to relieve this situation by
establishing emergency freight rates for
export wheat. Some space was un-
doubtedly cleaned for the new crop. But
this move for lower rates generally
failed Of its purpose; it would not pro-
mote the volume of export sales, Our
prices remaining still too high. The
visible supply of wheat continued to in

any time IN our history"
