■ SHROUDS
DES MOINES, lowa, June 4. — Miss
• Sarah Barbara Thorsdale, pretty
young school teacher, was found
murdered near Valley Junction to
day. She had been missing for two
days.
Indications were that the girl had
been assaulted. Her head was crush
« ed and her hands tied behind her
back.
The girl’s body was found on the
west side of the Raccoon river, near
the scene of her disappearance, by a
! boy scout.
Miss Thorsdale disappeared on
Thursday afternoon. She had left the
Barton school house, where she was
a teacher, and apparently started for
the car line at Valley Junction. She
was last seen near the Raccoon river
near the spot where her body was
found.
Searching parties headed by Dep
uty Sheriff Everett Pugsley had
scoured the woods In the vicinity of
the lonely little country school
where she taught since last Thurs
day.
Sheriff Pugsley is holding a negro
In the county jail, who told conflict
ing stories of seeing the girl Thurs
day In the woods near the school
house. The negro first volunteered
the information that he saw Miss
Thorsdale get into an automobile
with a man at a bridge over the Rac
coon river, about a mile and a halt
south of Valley Junction. Later he
changed his story and said he saw
the girl picking flowers in the woods
along the river.
The sheriff learned today that a
man who lived all last winter in a
cabin on the river bank not far from
the schoolhouse moved yesterday and
has not been seen since.
Footprints of a woman and a'man
leading from the edge of the bridge
to the shaft of an abandoned coal
mine, were discovered by the search
ers last night.
Mrs. R. S. Maswell said Miss
Thorsdale, her sister, had about SSS
with her Thursday. She believed
robbers may have attacked the girl.
Right-of-Way to Be
Asked for Beer Bill
s WASHINGTON, June 4— Chairman
'Volstead, of the house judiciary com
mittee, announced today that he
would ask the rules committee eaiiy
°next week to give right of way to
his beer bill so that it might be call
ed up for immediate consideration.
' Should the bill take its usual
course it might not reach a vote at
this session. Mr. Volstead said the
committee was anxious to make it a
law before the bureau of internal
-revenue could put into effect a ruling
'of former Attorney General Palmer
that the enforcement act did not pro
hibit use of beer on a physician’s
prescription.

RESTORE BUYING POWER OF
FARMER, SA YS M. F. ANDREWS
Mr. Lamont says: “Take your
losses like sports.” Mr. Schwab says:
“Reduce freight rates on steel.”
Mr. Atterbury says, don’t reduce
freight rates. Mr. Kruchmett says
reduce wages. Mr. Gompers says
don’t reduce wages. Mr. W. G. P.
Harding says our finances are sound.
Mr. Eugene Meyer says sell a million
bales of cotton to Europe on credit
and aid the farmer. Mr. Alexander
says: “Go to work; the man that
works won’t starve. Mr. Cotton
Farmer says: “If I had only milked
my cows and gone fishing the bal
ance of the year, I would have been
out of debt last Christmas.
All admit disorder exists in our
economic life.
Mr. W. P. G. Harding wrote: “The
living of all begins with the farmer,
and anything that affects his buying
power is soon reflected in the busi
ness of the merchant and manufac
turer. The farmer should be aided
and stimulated to the full measure
of his harvest.”
Never In the history of the land
has any nation suffered a business
depression following a season ot
bountiful crops. There cannot be
an over-production of any commodity
essential for the living of man, un
less you measure it by money.
The need of man is a living—food,
clothing and shelter. These three
things, all and each being the prod
uct of labor, comprises the real
wealth of a people.
In the organizatiort of society, to
labor, in the pursuit of a living,
there is but two systems, namely,
the system of agriculture and the
system of commerce. The first be
ing the actual producer, the second
being the exchange barter or distri
bution of ene man’s product with the
other.
Following these primary and nat
ural lines, there is no reason why the
people of this country should ever
have a business depression—unless
we suffer a famine of our crops.
Hence, there is no fundamental
cause for the depression now spread
ing over this country, threatening
the living of all the people in a land
of plenty. , „
The statement that We must suf
fer for bread because the people or
Europe have lost their buying power
is not* sound or true. George Wash
ington and our forefathers proved
this even while at war, and during
a period when they had less real
wealth than we have today. Hence,
as all we can get from Europe is
gold, and as we can’t eat gold, nor
is gold raiment, nor will gold keep
the rain out of our house, wherein
can we be in need of more gold from
them?
Use of Currency
Currency was introduced Into so
ciety as an instrument of commerce.
Various articles were used in the
primitive exchange of products, from
cattle to salt, and metals finally be
came the most popular.
During the administration ot
President Cleveland we adopted a
standard and fixed the unit dollar at
25 8-10 grains of gold—this being
gixed by Fiat of congress. At that
period we were debtors to foreign
countries to the extent of two and
one half billions in gold, and while
it was argued against the adoption
of the gold standard that it would
be a physical impossibility for this
country to ever produce two and
one-half billions of gold. The favor
able argument was made that it
could be paid off with 32,000,000
bales of cotton and. the sustaining
argument was that having a monop- ,
olv of cotton, if the government
would take over the cotton crop,
handling it as a merchant, charging ,
a reasonable price to foreign coun
tries, it could be paid off w'ith eigh- ,
teen million bales of cotton, and the
south could be pushed up to produce
it in one year. .
We thus, by legislation, added a
third system to the science of po
litical economy, and really limited
agriculture and commerce and all
their expansion and development to
the amount of available gold and
credit based on gold.
It soon developed that with the
limited supply of gold this great
nation could not develop but a small
part of its resources;, nor continue
our necessary amount of commerce
for an increasing population; so that
in an effort to provide a greater
credit of capital than our stock of
gold, in itself supplied, we adopted
the federal reserve systebi of banks.
In this act of congress it provides
and implies an elastic system of
currency equal to all the needs of
agriculture and commerce.
It had the indorsement ■ln these
essentials of many eminent finan
ciers. It began business in 1915,
with a capital of $101,000,000, all
subscribed by member banks, which
are limited to receive 6 per cent of
its earnings, all other earnings go
ing to the government as a fran
chise tax and to surplus account.
While no limit was fixed for it to
retain as a surplus, it did provide
that “one-half of the net earnings
should go to a surplus fund of the
bank until it would amount to 40
per cent of the capital stock.”
This surplus today is $202,000,000,
or 200 per cent of the paid in capi
tal stock.
“The net earnings going to the
government can be used in the dis
cretion of the secretary of the treas
ury to supplement the gold reserves,
or applied to the reduction of the
bonded indebtedness of the govern
ment.”
Quotes Bank Reports
The last report of the Federal Re
serve banks shows $2,400,000,000
earning assets, which, at the late
rate of 7 per cent, would show
$168,000,000 interest earned last year
on $101,000,000 capital.
With this statement of facts, it Is
apparent that this “expansive cur
rency system” has als<> the power to
contract the currency and retire
money from its only public use—
circulation. Money has no value to
man except as a circulating medium,
i And the continued expansion and in-
I creasing development of trade and
I industry can reach a height that the
functioning of the Federal Reserve
bank will of itself pull it down—the
greater the loans and discounts and
corresponding increase in deposits
requires the retirement of gold as
reserves. And as there is only three
billion gold in this country and the i
Federal Reserve bank ’is collecting I
interest on $2,400,000,000, It is plain .
to see that it’s only a question of i
time when all the real money is own
ed by the Federal Reserve bank. And
while it is true that the
banks have fifteen to seventeep bil-
IDLE WORKERS ARE
BMBTO JOBS
WASHINGTON, June 4.—Approxi
mately 2,225,000 workers now are
jobless, according to estimates made
here today based on reports to sev
eral branches of the government, in
dicating that unemployment is de
creasing.
At least 3,500,000 men and women
were idle in January, a survey by
the United States Employment serv
ice showed. Now, however, no ex
act reports are available for the en
tire country, but data dealing with
selected industries collected by the
labor department, the federal re
serve board and other agencies, in
dicates that war time wage scales
are now generally deflated. Defla
tion makes it possible to operate all
full time factories wmch formerly
were closed or running only two or
three days a week.
Production of bituminous coal is
shown to be greatly increased in re
ports to the United mates geolog
ical survey proving that thousands
of mines in the central, eastern and
middle western fields are returning
to work.
Railroads are now getting into the
swing of summer track maintenance
jobs and are hiring men daily. Rail
road shops also are beginning to hum
with activity following the winter
period when thousands of machin
ists and other workers were laid off.
Unemployment Grave
Problem in Cuba
HAVANA, June 4. —Unemployment
is a grave problem facing Cuba, ac
cording to the Havana Post, which
estimates that the closing of the
sugar centrals will increase those
out of work to more than 300,000.
There are more than 75,000 unem
ployed in Havana at present, the pa
per states it has been informed, with
the number increasing as a result of
the influx of others from the coun
try districts.
Unless the government takes ac
tion, it is-asserted, there will be no
relief until the agricultural .districts
again offer employment next Septem
ber.
Child Is Accidentally
Killed by Playmate
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., June 5. —
William Hylton, nine years old, was
fatally injured when struck on
the head by a croquet mallet in the
hands of his playmate. Jack Cun
ningham, same age. He walked to
his home, two blocks away, but soon
became unconscious and died. It
was an accident.
lions of loans and discounts, earning
$1,200,000,000 to $1,360,000,000 in in
terest each year. It is also possible
for the Federal Reserve bank, acting
as a “Kitty,” t,o, in time, hold all
the banks’ gold, 'as gold is not being
produced as fast as they are gath
ering it on discounts.
That money is taking too much
toll from trade and industry, is borne
out by the statement of the Federal
reserve board, page 69 —“That a
charge of depositors on checks of 10
cents per SIOO. upon the business
handled,by the Federal Reserve banks
last year would have cost commerce
and industry $135,000,000.”
In 1915, “to move the cotton crop.”
Mr. McAdoo deposited $15,000,000 of
treasury money in the Federal Re
serve banks of Richmond, Atlanta
and Dallas. They, in turn, deposited
this money in the member banks, who
loaned it at 6 per cent to individuals,
taking their notes and indorsing
them got’ $15,000,000 more from the
Federal Reserve bank. This they
repeated again and again, until they
cent, or 48 per cent earned on the
original deposit of $15,000,000. Like
a game of- poker—when one man wins
all the money, the game stops.
Money as a mill is taking all the
corn for toll. t
Those who questioned the bankers
statement that they have no money
to lend with these facts can have
no doubt of its truth. The effect on
trade and industry is exactly as if
all our railroads ceased to run trains.
“Vehicle of Transportation”
Money is the “vehicle” of transpor
tation. distribution and exchange,
though we use the wagon, truck,
train or boat. Unless we have the
use of money or transportation, busi
ness becomes congested and stagna
tion sets in—the orderly marketing
of crops is stopped and the distribu
tion of surplus of the farmer to those
who need can not-be supplied. The
under supply of currency brings
about an unequal exchange between
peoples, while for an individual “to
get the best” of a trade with another
individual hurts only that individual.
When money gets the best of all
trade and industry, the whole people
are hurt.
If the emergency or crisis is
reached the government should apply
remedies to correct and save the
people from calamity. If the circu
lation of money is needed. some
method should be fou’nd to supply it.
The Federal Reserve b ink was creat
ed to supply this need.
Remedial need of money as an act
ive instrument of commerce by those
in control, is necessary to prevent
further tumbling of business.
Simply to sit down on the ever-in
creasing gold reserves and cry aloud
that “confidence’ is restored re
minds us of “Nero fiddling while
Rome was burning.”
Our cotton farmers are parting
with their cotton and nave nothing
left for their year’s labor to buy a
cotton-made shirt. The railroads
are losing tonnage. Unemployment
increasing. Can the ‘optimist” furn
ish the people food and coal this
winter?
A real “advance agent of prosper
ity” would be an army of “construc
; tionists.” We have the “tools and
I ifiaterials.” Let us go to work and
I rebuild the fallen structure bigger
I and better and “all concrete.”
Restore the buying power of the
farmer and we will have a living.

Cobb County, Ga.
n
$1,000,(00 TO BE
SPffITM ROODS
More than $1,000,000 will be spent
by Fulton county during 1921 on the
most magnificent road and highway
construction program ever attempted
in the south, and as a result this
county will have built and improved
more than 100 miles of roadway by
the end of the year.
In addition to the road building
program, $150,000 will be expended
on the construction of eleven new
highway bridges. The paving con
templated will be of aspnalt or con
crete, and the bridges with a single
exception, are to be of concrete.
With the completion of this work,
Fulton county will take rank as one
of the most progressive regions in
the entire country, and will have
accomplished its greatest single
progressive movement in its history.
Most remarkable of the highway
projects undertaken by the county
this year is the spring street paving
job, already well under way. When
completed, Spring street will furnish
a new north and south traffic-way,
relieving Peachtree and Whitehall
streets of an immense burden. From
Marietta street to Harris street,
comity convict gangs have complet
ed the paving of Spring street, and
with a concentration of workmen
and equipment, this project is being
speeded up to every possible degree.
Another unusually important piece
of paving is the resurfacing of the
Roswell road; from Buckhead to the
river bridge in Roswell will be com
pleted this year at a cost of $250,000.
This paving will be of asphalt, by
the penetration method.
Practically the entire strength of
the county’s convict labor will be
concentrated in the highway con
struction program for the remainder
of the year. This strengtn is com
prised of 594 convicts, 54 guards,
112 teamsters, 30 engineers, foremen,
steamdrillers and blacksmiths, and
282 mules.
Four of the bridges have been
completed. These are the two on
Piedmont avenue, over tne Seaboard
Air Line railway tracks, one over
Peachtree creek and one over Utoy
creek in the Campbellton road.
The seven which will be built in
the near future are: One on Collier
road, east of Peachtree road, over
the Seaboard tracks J one on the
Johnson road, over Proctor creek:
the Luten bridge over South river,
on the Jonesboro road; Peachtree
creek at Cox’s crossroads; Nancy
creek, on the Randall Mill road; and
two bridges on Beecher street.
Russian Gold Said
To Be the Basis of
Influx to America
WASHINGTON. June 4.—Russian
gold is believed to form the basis
of the steady influx of the metal
Into this country, according to study
of the increasing gold imports made
by governmental experts The ex
cess of gold imports over exports has
reached more than $1,067,000,000,
treasury officials estimate, which the
holdings in the country are put at
$3,250,000,000, two-thirds of the
world’s supply.
In commenting on the situation to
day, officials said that the- gold re
serves of the principal countries out
side the United States have for some
time shown no material change. The
imports are. therefore, believed to
consist of new gold produced in
Africa and Australia and Russian
gold shipped to European countries
and then reshipped in part to this
country.
What is regarded as significant in
the recent gold movement, is that
America’s gain represents the concen
tration of gold previously not used
as reserves by central banks of gov
ernments except so much as is made
up of the reserves of the Russian
state bank. On the other hand it
is said that shipments from Europe
may consist not of Ria«sian but of
othe gold being used to’fill the gaps
caused by this exportation.
Shipments of Russian gold in ap
preciable quantities are said to be
reaching this country from Scandi
navia. The Swedish mint is report
ed to have received and smelted $42,-
500,000 worth of Russian gold since
the first of the year. Gold imports
into this country from Sweden since
the first of the year are estimated
at. about $29,500,000.

Dixie Highway Closed
AMERICUS, Ga., June 4. —The
Dixie highway west of Americus has
been closed by order of the county
commissioners during a brief period
of paving operations. The paving
gang is now laying- surface material
from the top of “hard-boiled hill,”
where the Scarborough store is 10,
, cated, into the city. This closes not
| only the Dixie highway, but also the
Dawson and Smithville road. A de
tour on the Dixie highway has been
arranged, leading nortii on Cotton
avenue and McGarrah street, turning
to the left at the city limits and
going out the Myrtle Springs road,
a distance of five and one-half miles.
There a cross road, which has recent
ly been put into good condition, car

Engineers Blaze
Way for Expedition
To Scale Everest
DARJEELING, Bengal, June 4.
—Somewhere in the tangled maze
of the southern Himalayan moun
tains three parties of British en
gineers are working their way
through unexplored gorges and
passes toward the base of Mount
Everest. They are blazing the
way for the expedition that will
later this summer attempt to
scale the granite walls of Ever
est and conquer the highest peak
on the globe.
The first party to leave here
was commanded by Major Mors
head, which proceeded up fthe
Teosta valley and over what is
known as the Kangrilla route.
The other two units, commanded
by Colonel Pury, intended to meet
the Morshead party at Khamba
Jong, and then the combined ex
pedition will strike westward to
ward the village of Tengri Jong,
which is about thirty miles north
of the Everest group. A perman
ent base will be selected near that
village and from it will start the
party which will try to reach the
summit of the dominating peak
of the range.
Before the'actual work df scal
ing the stupendous slopes of
Everest group can begin, however,
engineers must carefully survey
all approaches to the mountain
and try to find the most practic
ble route to the top. This recon
naisance work is the chief task
assigned the men now working
their way into the heart of the
mountains.
FARMERS DEMffl
BEMEDIJB ILLS
BY HARDEN COLFAX
fLeased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1921.)
WASHINGTON, June 4.—American
farmers two and a half million
strong, have organized almost over
night and are today in the halls of
congress demanding relief from their
ailments and the right to mode rnize
their business affairs. They are,
perhaps the most powerful force in
the presence of the national legisla
ture. So swiftly, silently and ef
fectively have they combined their
energies that few persons, even here,
are aware of their existence and
fewer still have even an approximate
notion of their strength. Their rep
resentatives are working tirelessly
and with almost certain prospect of
success for the passage of a cluster
of bills whose effect upon American
economic life wilt be measured in the
hundreds of millions of doUars.
As the farmer sees himself he is
today, in an economic sense, the
sickest of sick America. With his
women folks, his children, his other
dependents and his z hired help he
makes up some forty millions of peo
ple. He has something to sell—all
that America eats and much that it
wears—and his products have drop
ped into an abysmal market. His
purchasing power has been cut more
than half within the past year and
his needs, like those of other folks,
have increased. Because of his nu
merous numbers and troubles he re
gards his condition as the basic ail
ment of American commerce and in
dustry. Through his organizations
he is seeking legislation which, he
believes, will help bring him back to
economic health.
Capper, of Kansas in the senate,
stands out today as the most skillful
and energetic of the farmers’ cham
pions. His name is on almost half
dozen or more important measures
which the farmers are pressing upon
congress. ,
I oremost of these measures is the
Capper-Volstead bill to authorize the
formation of co-operative organiza
tions of farmers and permit them to
do business in interstate commerce.
It seems strange that such author
ity should have to be sought at this
late date on behalf of the
bread makers when almost every
other line of business is so organized.
But the farmers want legal author
ity, plain specific and direct, before
they proceed. The bill seems certain
of passage. Under its provisions they
expect to unite in big co-operative
societies for the purpose of short
cutting to the consumer, slicing
down the tremendous spread between
prices paid for fruit, produce, grain
and other products in the fields and
the prices paid for the same prod
ucts in the markets of the cou .try.
Apples rot on the ground of New
York—and other farms —in the sum
mer and fall because the prices the
farmers obtain are so low as not to
justify picking the fruit and sending
it to market, at the same time those
applies are rotting, other apples, no
better, are selling retail at five and
ten cents apiece in the eastern cities.
That situation, the farmer holds, is
an economic sin. Milk sells in New
York today at, say, twelve cents a
quart delivered; the farmer gets five,
or thereabouts —hardly enough to
justify his keeping the cow, feeding
her, paying labor to attend her and
sending her milk to market. That
situation the farmer regards as an
economic wrong. The price of both
commodities, and all other the farm
er raises, should be, in all fairness,
he holds, cheaper to the consumer
and at the same time should yield the
farmer at least enough to make an
honest profit on his investment and
toil.
Co-operative organizations some
how, some time can bring about a
betterment of these conditions, the
farmer believes, and that is one rea
son why he wants such organization*,
authorized by federal law and ac
countable to the federal department
of agriculture. Another measure the
united farmers of America ara press
ing through congress is the bill cre
ating a joint committee to investi
gate the relativity of agricultural
prices to other commodity prices.
That bill, too, is going through. It
has passed the senate and when the
joint committee of ten gets on the
job the farmer believes there will qe
news popping that will make most
folks either red-headed or wild-eyed
about some of the prices they are
paying today for things not raised
on the farm. ,
Farm prices have dropped like fall
ing stars, other commodity prices
have gently and slowly eased down
a bit. Why? That’s what the far
mer wants to find out and place be
fore the American public through an
official committee of congress. H
eggs have gone down 50 per cent,
why haven’t other things? If corn
on the cob Is off 60 per cent from
high, why do the rates ot public util
ity corporations stick up where they

CATCHING THESE BIRDS
IS STRENUOUS SPORT

Sportsmen, here’s a real game! It’s the gentle art of catching
an emu.
To nab the ostrlch-like bird of the Australian bush, first run him
down, then get a half-Nelson around his neck, just below his head,
give a deft twist of the arm, and Mr. Emu is yours.
But don’t try it until you have practiced a few times.
Such is the advice of “Snowy” Baker, Australia’s greatest athlete,
now producing pictures.
The emu is the native bird of Australia, stands about six feet
six inches, and carries an awful wallop. His only defense is a kick.
They have remarkable endurance and generally manage to keep
just far enough ahead of a galloping horse to shave themselves from
being caught. ... , „

market. How large a tract of land
must I use, and what machinery will
be necessary?—F. N. .
A The bureau of plant industry
says that the maintenance, charge for
hay-making equipment is so high
that it is doubtful whether a farm
er is justified in going into the busi
iiess unless he lias 20 acres of nay
to cut each year. The special equip
ment necessary for the successful
production of market hay consists
of a mower, rake, tedder, wagon with
frame, horse fork, pitchforks and a
hay press. Unless there will be 50
tons of hay to be baled, it is inore
economical to hire the hay baled
than to buy a press.

Mr. Dodson, the “Liver
Tone” >Man, Tells the
Treachery of Calomel <
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It’s mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells fcr a few cents a large
bottle of Dodson’s Liver Tone, which
is entirelv vegetable and pleasant
to take and is a perfect substitute
for Calomel. It is guaranteed to
start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don’t take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or a
wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn’t gripe.— (Advt.)
