PHYSIC FOR UNCLE SAM
When a patient is very sick he not
only vets advice from his physician,
but a large number of suggestions
from outsiders. Uncle Sam has a se
vere case of financial cramp?cramp
affecting his entire anatomy, and as
in the case of the sick individual the
number of remedies suggested for his
cure and restoration to his usual financial
condition is enormous and of
great variety. The nostrums, patent
medicines and "yarb" cures are not
to be compared in number or quality
with the panaceas that are proposed
to bring Uncle Sam and his numerous
family into perfect health and vigor.
One of the Doctors is Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska. The Advertiser
has great confidence in him because
he is a true and tried Democrat, a
pairiouc and ante suni'snian. 111s
remedy for Uncle Sam's serious condition
is the establishment in NewYork
City of a bier bank with a capital
stock of .several billon dollars and
with branch banks in this and other
countries. Senator Hitchcock in advocating
his proposed remedy says:
'Everyone recognizes that there
exists in the United States and other
countries at the present time a
great demoralization of business, a
high rate of unemployment and a
general unprofitable condition in all
lines of trade. International commerce
is almost in a state of collapse.
The United States has an enormous
surplus of products which it is unable
to sell, while other nations have ;
a great need of these products and
are not able to buy them."
The diagnosis of Senator Hitch/?ru?Lr
nc In nnnd itinnc nf tli,. iunt
and the cause of the trouble in his interior
is divided into two parts?not
like Gaul, as we learned in our Latin
lesson at school that Gaul was divided
into three parts.
Here is the diagnosis of Dr. Hitchcock,
and if it hits the spot as surely
as does old Dr. Hitchcock's liver
medicine the Nebraska healer is entitled
to the cake.
After feeling Uncle Sam's pulse
and looking at his tongue Dr. Hitchcock
says:
1. "The unstable condition of international
exchange, which has tluctuated
so violently during the last two
years that it has made exporting
and importing a dangerous gamble
and has ni'ncd hundreds of firms
attemntie-* in*< motional commerce
2. "The exhaustion of international
credit, duo to tho enormous balance
of trade each was not paid for in!
products and could not be paid fo? !
in tfold. Attempts by private con- j
corns to supply this cred t have only j
resulted in the oxhauston of their
resources."
Senator Hitchcock's bit; bank with
a capital stock of several billion dol- j
lars and with branches all over the i
country and in Europe looks like a'
good medicine and when there are ;
billions of it there ought to be enough
to tone up Uncle Sam's system ami
mat <>i an ms numcnms aim varum j
family connexion.
But while Congress is considering
the various remedies proposed a bank
in Savannah. Georgia, The (iitiv.ens
and Southern, has made applieation
for an advance of :?r?t(MM),()00 for fi-j
naneinp: exports and the application
was approved by the War Finance
Corporation.
The president of the bank, one of,
Georgia's leading financiers, Mr..Mills]
B. I.ane, referring to this advance
says:
I
"These funds will he used as a financial
resource and facility in addition
to the usual federal reserve
bank facilities for the betterment of
the people in my part of the country.
The War Finance Corporation's
emergency help will he an added
source of strength in the orderly
marketing of th" crop from our part
of the country."
Has South Carolina no Vill- 15.
Lane who can get money to assist
in marketing our crops?
DIDN'T HIT US
The earth passed through the comet's
tail a few days ago and was not
even singed, so far as heard from.
The astronomers failed to notify the I
world that it was about to collide
with the tail of the liory monster
which probably was lucky as some of
us are afraid of these celestial visitors.
Congressman Kissel has introduced
a bill which would prohibit the President
from leaving Washington for
more than 48 hours at a time without
losing his power as chief executive.
In the event the ('resident left Washington
for more than 48 hours his(
powers would be transferred to the
Vice President.
ANOTHER FLIVVER
The Advertiser recently alluded to
some of Henry Ford's big ideas and
here is another^ told in ran time by|l
Dudley Glass, c?f the Atlanta (leor- K
gian : , I
Hank Ford discovers railroads have f,
been run all wrong for years; he K
starts to build one 'mid tjie hoots of k
all the engineers. His trains will be I
built light and loose, along the lines J
of flivvers, providing us with exercise
that's fine for torpid livers. I
ASSOCIATION OF COTTON
GROWERS COMING ON NICELY r
Columbiu, Aug. 27.?Officials of
lit1 South Carolina Cotton Growers
Cooperative Association yesterday
received ? ord that the North Caro- ?
ina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association
had been successful in securing
contracts representing 200,JO0
bales of cotton, the minimum set
>y that state before the signed contracts
become eil'ective. This makes ,
the fourth cotton growing state to
successfully complete its organization
and a fifth will :;oon have its
minimum number, it is announced.
Oklahoma was rhi> ?tnto fr?
reach its minimum, <500,000 bales
having been signed in that state. The !
.Mississippi association was the next J
to perfect its organization. The Ari-1
iuna growers have completed their
organization and now North Carolila
has reached its quota. Texas lias
cached its original minimum of
S00,000 bales but has now raised its I
minimum to 1,000,000 bales which it i
lopes to reach within the next two or <
hree weeks. !
The campaign in Georgia is going
iliead successfully and Louisiana,
Vrkansas and Alabama are launching i
.heir drives. It is not the intention of (
these four states to handle this year's i
crop. i
Satisfactory progress is being i
made in the campaign in South Camilla,
it was stated yesterday. Signed
contracts are coming in daily from
larger planters over the state while
uiv 111 u" 11 i > v \.aiii|'ui^;iin in ?j|/tu iciii
urg and Marion counties are procoding
satisfactorily.
It is not the intention of the South
Carolina association to attempt to
uitulle this year's crop, oiiiciaU said
yesterday. In the lirst place they
]>ointed out that it would ho impossible
to sign the minimum number of
ales in this time.
"The movement in South Carolina
s gaining momentum daily," said
/resident Harry (I. Kaminer yesterlay.
'The longer one studies the prop sition
the more firmly wedded he beams
to it. It is the only solution of
the marketing? problem.**

The "Distant Husband" and the Bear
The following missive was received
by the forest ranger of Pasadena district
and read recently at the annual
dinner of the Sierra Club in Los -vntreles:
"Kind and Respected Cir:
"I see in the paper that a man
named J S was atacked and
ct up by a bare whose cubs he was
trying to git when the she bare came
up and stopt him by eatin hint up .11

1 want to know is did it kill him or
was he only partly et up and he

he was killed in the war but

by the bare for I have been married
twice since and their ought to

me if the bare did not eat him all up.
if it is him you will know it by him
having six toes on the left foot. He
also sings base and has a spread
eagle tattoed on his front, chest and
a ankor on his right arm which you
will know him if the bare did not eat
up these parts of him. If alive don't
tell him i am married to J YV
for he never liked J - ?. Mebbe you
had better let on as if i am ded but
find all you can about him without
him knowing what it is for. That
is if the bare did not eat him all up.

There Is more Catarrh In this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years It was supposed
to be incurable. Doctors prescribed 11
local remedies, and by constantly falling
to cure with local treatment, pronounced
It Incurable. Catarrh Is a local disease,
greatly influenced by constitutional conditions
anil therefore requires constltutionaJ
treatment. Hall's Catarrh Medicine,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney &

STOP ADVERTISING
AND SAVE? MONEY i
Just recently a manufacturer of a |
well known and highly meritorious |
product said that because his product j
was so well established he believed he |
vould discontinue his advertising for j
a year and save money. The following |
anagraphs illustrate what usually j
uappi'iis wnen sucn a course is caiten: i |
"L)o you remember Pearline?
"Once it was the most popular! =
washing powder in America. '
"in 1907 Pearline ceased advertise (
ing. i
"Its owners said that advertising
was no longer necessary, that Pear- | v
line was a good product and every- J=
>ody knew it.
"In 1914 the Proctor & Gamble
Company bought Pearline at their
>vvn iigure to savo it from bank- J
uptcy. They renamed the formula
and have sold millions of dollars'
worth of it since by advertising.
"In seven years the public forgot
i'c-ju iiiie, and it dwindled from millions
to nothing. j
'Pears Soap once tried the same
experiment; noting the alarming
slump in sales in six months they resumed
their advertising and did not
bust.
'It' people did not die, if people did
not move, if new generations did not
grow up, if customs and habits did
not change, if competition did not
compete, if nvoolc were not onen to :

ideas, there would be no need of advertising,
and when a business was

CHAPTER XIX.
A Perfect Crow.
Ou the floor of the rlchly-furnlshed
library of the Dale home, near a went
! wi.iduw, Miss Elizabeth Llttleford sat
1 reading by the fast fading light of aa<
1 early March pfternoon. Somehow she
llk?d to sit on the floor, and always aha
liked to reud; for one thing, books
helped her to forget that she was
lonely.
There were footsteps behind her,
soft footsteps because of the thick vol*
vet carpet; then a low voice Inquired-} t
"Areu't you afraid you will Injurs
' your eyea, Elizabeth? Better have a
light, hadn't you, dear?" The old coal
king turned toward the switch on tha
i wall.'
I "No I" she answered tiulckly. Ths *
through reading for today, and I Ilka _
this twilight."
Her Improvement In speech and la
maimers had gone on at a surprisingly
rapid rate. She rarely spoke with any
but the simplest words, but she never
fell Into ?nythlng more than bare semblance
of the old drawling hill dialect
unless It was while she was under the
stress of gome strong emotion.
She closed the book and looked ap
with eyes that were like the first star?
In n summer sky. Her beauty waa
wonderful; it was finer and sweeter

Ok) Dale stood looking thoughtfully
Into her upturned face. He was a lit*
tie pale, and he seemed troubled and
uneasy.
Kli/.ahetli shook her head. "You'rt
4worrying again 1"
He dropped Into a nearby cbatr,
leaned slowly forward and let one
I hand fall gently on her thick find silky
eheitnut-brown hair.

lie took his hund from her head, lay
j hack wearily In his chair and closed
I his eyes. Then he bent forward again.
"The Morelnnds, Elizabeth?they've
I moved away from the settlement,
J haven't they?"
"Yes; Bill Dale has done wonderful
things for them I" the girl answered.
John K. Dale-was silent for a mo*
uient, after which he said suddenly: "1
want to see my son; there Is something
I must tell him. Will you go with ma,
Elizabeth?"
j "Of course, I'll go with you."
! She thought she knew what It was
that stirred him. By Intuition, supplemented
by Bill Dale's occasional cryptic
utterances, and pieced out by hill
tradition. Elizabeth Ltttleford gradually
bad come into possession of tha
old coal man's grim secret
Neither of them knew that John
Moreland was then visiting his beloved
old hills for the sake of some shooting.
The following day John K. Dale and
Kllzabeth Llttleford alighted from a
northbound passenger train at the
? Halfway switch. The mountains were
covered with three Inches of snow, and
the hemlock end pines bore heavy b.^r.
dens of the beautiful white stuff; but
the air was still, and It wasn't very
cold.
"You'd get your clothing all black
on the coal 4ra!n," Dale said to his
companion, "so you'd rather walk over,
wouldn't you? Anyway, the train Isn't
here. I'm good for six miles, 1 think."
"Yes," smiled Ben Llttleford'a
daughter, "I'd rather walk?If you're
sure that si* mlldk won't be too much
for you."
Together, with the girl leading the
way, they set out across David Moreland's
mountain. The old trail showed
not one footprint ahead of them; It
was not SO much used now Thou a>U
little. Each thought their own thought*,
and neither cared to speak then te
the, other.
Just before they reached the mountain's
crest, they passed a group of
snow-lnden pines that concealed a big,
brown-bearded man who had been
stealthily following the trail of a lone
wild turkey. He wore khaki huntingclothes
and high laced hoots, and there
was a certain English fineness about
him. In his hare hands he carried *
fepeatlng rifle, which marked him aa
one horn In the hills; a lowlander
would have had a choke-bored shritgun.
When he saw John K. Dale he
stopped suddenly. It might have been

Oil the nlll??-frtni/?nl I'roal
. Idttleford halted to view that which
Iny around and below hltn. Old Dale
stopped close at her aide, and he, too,
looked at that which lay around and
below them ; mid to hia iuii.U else theta
came memories crowding.
The* young woman brushed luck a
I wayward wisp of hrown hair and
; turned to the man beside tier.
"The Morelnnd pan o' the settlement
looks lonesome, don't It?" she
said. "See, there's no smoke cotnln'
, from their cubin chimneys. . . ." She
i went on absently, "Hut the Idttleforda
are there yet."
Old Dale caught the meaning that

: a shallow meaning.

I "I'v? thought much over It, and Just

A greet gladneaa Oiled Elisabeth's
heart. It did not occur to her to ask
hew, In what manner, he was going to
take care of her people; It waa enoagfc
to know that he waa going to take care
of them. Be put a father's arm lightly
