they had suffered for years. It is
Dr. Andrews’ ambition to ha
every ruptured person enjoy the
quick relief, comfort and healing
power of his discovery, and he will
ser ' it on free trial to any reader
of The Journal who writes him at
his office, 1213 Koch Bldg., Kansas

tion, take advantage of the doctor s

i Railroads Help to Keep j
I the Boys On the Farm I
I Live boys leave the farm, not be
! cause they don’t want to work, but be- .
ill cause they want to make more money
U and have a better time. The lure of
f the city draws them, because they
I think it offers both of these things.
And the farms not located on, or easily
accessible to, railroads are the farms
which lose the most boys.
Railroads make farming profitable —by fur
nishing quick transportation to the nation’s
markets for all of the products of the farm.
Railroads make farm life pleasant— by bring
ing to the-farms many of the home comforts
and conveniences of the city. Thus, the rail
roads, by making farm life more attractive and
more remunerative, help to keep the boys on
the farm and at work on the big job of feeding
the people of this nation.
In return for the benefits
that railroads bring, you
' can help the railroads by
intelligent thinking ana
fair-minded talking —by
being fair when they are
ftajljb un^ust^y attac hed.

Runaway Army Blimp
To Bq Dismantled and
Sent Back to Illinois
The runaway at- y blimp OA-1
will be dismantled and brought to
Fort McPherson and then shipped
back to its home field in Illinois, it
was announced Wednesday from
Fort McPherson.
A detachment of mechanics on
two big Liberty trucks left Atlanta
about 8:30 o’clock Wednesday morn
ing for Woodstock, where the big
balloon has been anchored since
Monday in the velvet bean patch of
D. J. McCurley, several miles north
of that town.
The. balloon has proved a circus
attraction for people of Cherokee
and surrounding counties tor the
last three days, several thousand
having made the trip to the McCur
ley farm to view the ship.
Monday afternoon, before a de
tachment of soldiers arrived from
Fort McPherson to stand guard,
curious hundreds clambered over
the fuselage and examined every
detail of the running gear, but the
soldiers put an end to this.
The blimp, which is of the "pony”
type, got away from its pilot and
mechanic after they had made a
forced landing Sunday afternoon
near Belleville, HI. Lieutenant
Bache Reeves, a former Atlantian,
was the pilot.
Satterfield’s Daughter
Is Reported Missing;
Father Fears Suicide
J. B. Satterfield, awaiting the
death penalty in the Fulton county
jail for the murder of his brother
in-law, R. H. Hart, in 1921, hag re
ceived news that indicates to his
mind that his younger daughter,
Elizabeth, has committed suicide be
cause of despondency over her fa
ther’s crime. Letters from John B.
Mashburn, 6829 Mesa drive, Los An
geles, where the young woman made
her home, are to the effect that she
has been missing since the middle
of August, soon after Satterfield was
arrested in Los Angeles and brought
back to Atlanta.
The girl threatened suicide at the
time, according to her sister, Mrs.
Dorothy Tarter, who came to At
lanta for her father’s trial and is
still in this city. A search is being
conducted for the missing girl, ac
cording to the letters, but no trace
of her has been found thus far.
Satterfield denies any connection
with the attempted jail delivery
which was j thwarted Tuesday by
authorities at the jail. Officers there
found several hacksaws and a rope
made of strips torn from blankets,
making a search after receiving an
anonymous note from one of yie
prisoners informing them that an
attempt would be made Tuesday
night to free about thirty prisoners
on the fourth floor of the jail.
Negro Ragpicker
Gets $3,230 Check
On Past Due Pension
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Cynics
would have difficulty in convincing
Alfred Pettis, 75-year-old negro rag
picker, who lives here, of the "in
gratitude of the republic.”
A treasury warrant for $3,230
readier him in Wednesday’s mail
with a note from the pension bu
reau that it represented back pen
sion at the rate of SSO a jxjonth.
Pettis filed an’ application for a
pension ten years ago, but failed to
follow it up. The government mills
continued to grind, however, the
final grist confirming his claim that
he enlisted in the Second colored in
fantry at Key West, Fla., in 1864.
at the age of 16.
