Blowing Up In The Ninth.
——#
There is an expressive Amer
ican sporting phrase that de
scribes the condition of an ath
lete or team of athletes in some
branch of sport who, after a
brilliant winning streak, sud
denly go to pieces and lose all
and more than they have gained.
We mean, when we say a base
ball team “blew up” that the
psychological moment arrived
when the heretofore beaten ad
versaries suddenly rally, seize
upon a temporary confusion or
weakness of the leaders and
hammer them all over the lot.
Poor Bulgaria has undergone
that fate. In the recent alliance
■of the Balkan states (except Ro
umania) against Turkey, Bul
garia was the acknowledged
leader. Its army was the largest
its arms and munitions the best,
its nerformance the most bril
liant, its victories the most de
cisive and its valor the most in
spiring. Quite the greatest part
of the credit for the humiliating
defeat of Turkey belongs to the
bravery and dash of the Bulga
rians. None appreciated this so
much as Bulgaria itself and as
a result the allies were soon at
Uoggerheads over the division of
the spoils and conquered coun
try. Bulgaria demanded more
than Servia and Greece were
willing to concede and because
Bulgaria atempted to take by
force what it could not get by di
plomacy, the late allies turned
up it and aided by Roumania and
the but lately vanquished Tur
key, have administered the se
verest sort of drubbing at the
very scenes of its recent brilliant
victories. Lula Brugas, Kirk
Kilisseh and Adrianople shed es
pecially bright renown on the
Bulgarian arms but now the Bul
^gars have been ignominiuosly
driven from those places and
they do not seem able to present
a firm front to even the weakest
of the former allies or even to
xthe lately defeated Turks, while
.the Roumanians, who took no
part in the earlier fray, now in
vade with an army fresh and ea
.vger for conquest and push the
Bulgurs helpless before them.
The poor Bulgars present the
most striking example of “blow
ing up in the ninth."—Fort

American Commisison In Ger

Special to Independent.
Dossenheim, Gemany. July 24.
—The cashier of the Raiffeisen
bank of this village, who is also
the postmaster and a considera
ble political figure in his commu
nity. welcomed to his house to
day five members of the Ameri
can Commission on Agricultural
Co-Operation.
Records of the Dossenheim
bank showed it to be a society
295 members, about half of
whom were laborers in a nearby
quhrry, but who maintained
small parcels of land they work
ed with the aid of their families,
aid about half of whom were
small farmers owning or rent- ;
mg on an average 2' acres of t
land each. The cultivation of
these farms was extremely in
tensive truck farming it would ,
have been called in the United
States.
One of these members entered
and counted out ten marks from
a bag which he deposited in the
bank. Evidenly the visit to the
bank was to the depositors* mind
something of a social event. He j
started conversation with the
«
cashier and it was apparetn that
he was a bit nettled when the
cashier explained that the pres
ence of visitors made it impossi
ble for him to indulge his friend
! in the usual amount of village
gossip. These conversations at
!the bank are an important fac
tor in the conduct of the bank.
They typify the intimate rela
tions that exist between the
managers of the institutions and
the members and it is this in
timacy which makes the banks
conservative, for everyone
knows everyone’s business.
It is upon such deposits as the
one made during the visit of the
Americans that the Dossenheim
institution depends chiefly for
its funds wherewith to make
loans to its members. It may
also borrow from the Central
Co-Operative bank with which
it is affiliated. At th'e present
time the demands for loans are
heavy and it has a debit at the
Central institution. The insti
tution commands about $28,000
to finance its 295 members.
For their deposits the mem
bers of the bank receive 4 per
cent interest. Deposits are also
acepted from non-members, but
only 3 3-4 per cent interest is
paid them—an unusual pro
ceeding which, it would seem
difficult to accept as good busi
ness policy. Only about $200
in cash is kept at the bank. It
is the object of the olcal bank to
lend out all of the money which
it receives to its members. If,
however, the demands for loans
are insufficient to keep all of
the funds at home, the surplus
is deposited with the Central
bank which pays the local bank
31/2 per cent interest. Wh(en
the funds of the local bank are
insufficient to meet demands for
loans, it borrows fi’om the cen
tral bank and pays 4 per cent in
terest on such loans. The loans
are made to farmers either on
their own note and without oth
; er security than the liability
which they have assumed upon
entering the bank or, if their
standing is not particularly
good, upon their note endorsed
by one or two sureties. Some of
the money is loaned on mort
gages, although the central in
stitution discourages this prac
tice.
! The institution is conducted
by a board of managers, the
1 president of which dropped in
at the bank during the visit of
the commisisoners. He was a
village merchant and a very
good type of man.

And Be Free From Her Troubles,

. ..:
Columbia, Term.—"Many a time,
says Mrs. Jessie Sharp, of this place,
| “I wished I would die and be relieved
of my {suffering, from womanly troubles.
! could not get up, without pulling at
something to help me, and stayed in bed
' most of the time, I could not do my
l housework.
The least amount of work tired me
out. My head would swim, and I would
tremble for an hour or more. Finally, 1
look Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
am not bothered with pains any more,
and I don’t have to go to bed. In fact,
I am sound and well of all my troubles.”
Cardui goes to all the weak spots and
helps to make them strong. It acts with
nature—not against her. It is for the
tired, nervous, irritable women, who feel
as if everything were wrong, and need
something to quiet their nerves and
strengthen the worn-out system.
If you are a woman, suffering from any
of the numerous symptoms ot womanly
trouble, take Cardui. It will help you.

Whole Family Benefited
By Wonderful Remedy
There are many little things to
asnoy us, under present conditions
of life. The hurry, hard work,
noise and strain all tell on us and
tend to provoke nervousness and
irritability.. We are frequently so
worn out we can neither eat, sleep
nor work with any comfort. We
are out of line with ourselves and
others as well.
A good thing to do under such
circumstances is to take something
like
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
to relieve the strain on the nerves.
Mrs. J. B. Ilartsfield. 82 Plum St.,
Atlanta Ga., writes:
"I have nn several occasions been
vastly relieved by the use of your med
icines. especially the Anti-Pain PUla,
which I keep constantly on hand for
the use of myself, husband and tws
sons. Nothing in the world equals them
as a headache remedy. Often I am
enabled by the use of one or two of
the Pills to continue my housework
when otherwise I would be in bed. My
husband joins me in my praise of the
Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine.”
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills
are relied upon to relieve pain,
nervousness and irritability :n thou
sands of households. Of proven
merit after twenty years’ use, you
can have no reason for being longer
without them. 11
At all Druggists, 25 doses 25 cents.
