Chambersburg Man Describes the Farming Conditions in Borneo New York, Nov. 21.—Farming conditions in West Borneo are graphically described by Dr. J. W. Hoover, of Chambersburg, Pennsyl vania, in a letter received by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Hoover has charge of the mission and Centenary community center at Sibu, Sarawak, West Borneo, and is teaching native Dyaks, Chinese and Malays scientific farming. The mission is a modern community cen ter, and owns 250 acres of jungle land which is scientifically farmed. The mission also owns two rice mills, an ice plant and a rubber garden. The pupils of the high and public schools are taught modern ways of '""' • i I LIFT OFF CORNS WITH FINGERS j Few Drops of "Froezone," Then | Corns Lift Off —No Pain I A tiny bottle of "Freezone" costs so little at any drug store; apply a few drops upon any corn or callus.

Sleeplessness is frequently due to disorder in the organs of digestion, and consequently, to avoid it you must put these organs right. The use of narcotics is not only dangerous but leaves the cause of the trouble untouched and should therefore be avoided. H & The surest means of finding relief in the circumstances # _ referred to is undoubtedly Beecham's Pills. - n After Taking a few doses of this famous medicirfe the digestive functions will resume their energy, the sluggish liver become active, the bowels healthily regulated.

The native Dyaks who are jungle men are being taught the most modern ways of agriculture and are becoming interested. Dr. Hoover says the native Dyaks hate any kind of work, especially farming. They make no gardens and raise no vegetables except gourds. These are made into vessels for carrying water. Rather than do agricultural work, the Dyaks prefer ->lo gather roots and leaves from the Jungle and eat them. "At the sight of the hoe," Dr. Hoover says, "the Dyaks would drop dead." Premier of Canada to Accompany Prince of Wales to Halifax Atlantic City, N. J., Nov. 21.—Sir Robert Borden, premier of Canada, who has been here for several days, will leave on Saturday for New York and will accompany the Princo of on the cruiser Renown to Halifax where a farewell dinner will be tendered the Prince. This will be the Prince's last social function prior to his departure for England. Sir Robert will return to Ottawa early next week. Five of Raby Family Total 471 Years Bath, England, Nov. 21.—Five members of the Raby family here have ages totaling 471 years, the oldest being Miss Jane Raby, who has just been congratulated in a letter from the King on the lOOtli anniversary 'of her birthday. Her brother won the first Victoria Cross awarded during the Crimean War. Imperator to Be Returned to Britain i Washington, Nov. 21.—Settlement of the controversy over disposition I of the German liner Imperator it is indicated, will rendered immedi ately to Great Britain. Action with regard to the seven other German steamers in the same status had not been determined. It was said. It will depend, it was indicated, on final disposition of the tankers under the German flag, but American-owned now held in the Firth of Forth by direction of the Supreme Council. The Imperator was one of a num ber of former German liners taken from German ports after the armis* tice was signed, and allotted to the United States to return troops. After completing her last trip as a trans- I port, she was to have been delivered on September 27 to the Cunard line, and was advertised to sail as a pas senger ship October 11. On the day set for delivery, however, army offi cers of the port of embarkation re ceived instructions from Washington to maintain possession. Afterwards custody of the ships was transferred to the Shipping Board. Several hundred British mercan tile marine officers and men are now here, and have been Waiting since September to tuke over the vessels. Hamlin Refuses Treasury Post Washington, Nov. 21.—Charles S. Hamlin has refused to accept ap pointment as Secretary of the Treas ury to succeed Secretary Glass, who resigned to accept appointment to the United States Senate in place of the late Senator Martin. Mr. ' Ilamltn was the first Governor of | the Federal Reserve Board. He is I now a member of that board. In this i position where he is devoted to and pleased with his work, Mr. Hamlin j receives a salary of 12,000 a year I and his term of office has seven I years to run. As Secretary of the I Treasury he would receive the same I salary and if he had accepted he would have been stepping into the position at the tag end of an ad ministration. It was intimated in an unusually reliable quarter late yesterday aft ernoon that the name of Russell Cornell Lefflngwell. who has been Assistant Secretary of the Treas ury since October 30, 1917, has now come very much to the front among the names of those under consider ation for the Treasury Secretary , ship. In the event of Mr. Lefflngwell's nppointment, the friends of John Mason, of Philadelphia, will urge his selection as Ass'stant Secretary of the Treasury to succeed Mr. Lef flngwell. German General Staff's Story of War Soon Complete Berlin, Nov. 21.—The general staff's story of the war written from the official achievements will soon be issued and will be entitled.

"Since the suspension of free move ment of gold ami the great changes that have come about in the control of exported commodities," says Pro fessor Willis, "the usual influences which tend to prevent a movement of exports from going too far have been absent. Accordingly, foreign countries import freely, while the United States has gone on extend ing credit to them and exporting in the belief that by so doing it was helping the foreigner and at the same time making a large profit. - "The fact that thus far the foreign countries have paid us no interest on our investment and are not likely to do so in the near future throws a bright light upon the nonprofit ablencss of this trnde and makes It worth while to wonder Whether from the strict business standpoint we have not paid too much for the whistle in the form of very high do mestic prices and costs of living. This is a situation In which the in terest of specialised export industries Is placed ahead of that of the rank and file of consumers and in which exporters may fiml it advantageous to participate in a movement which in the last analysis is not in the in terests of the public at large. It Is a situation which tends to correct itself, as alrealy seen, by virtue of the fact that the public is eventually appealed to for the means with which to finance the further ship ment of the goods, but a large sec tion of the public finds its invest ing power greatly diminished by reason of the vast increases in liv ing cost. •Vow Course of Action "It may fairly be said that a defin ite foreign trade policy has been lacking except as a common course of action among bankers and finan ciers has been emphatically work ed out. That course of action, so far as ran be gathered from a sur vey of the facts, may be considered to incline the following points: "(1) Suspension of Government financing of the export trade. This at least is a definitely expected basis for the future, as indicated by au thorative announcement of eXecutl\e officers. "(2) Suspension or abandoning of the idea of financing export trade by commercial banking credits, subject to renewal. "(3) Disinclination on the part of the general public to provide the means for the continued expansion of exports through the steady absorp tion of foreign obligations of all kinds. "(4) Recognition of the probable necessity of placing our foreign trade credit application upon this new footing, studying it carefully from the point of view of its merits as an individual action of those who are most directly concerned in se curing its success. "(5) Abandonment of the idea of creating an artificial exchange rela tionship between different countries and consequently development of an adverse quotation of many foreign currencies which in itself tends to correct- the export situation by dis couraging buying in the United States. "(6) In consequence of these dif ferent trends or tendencies, a re duction in the movement of our goods abroad. Speculating Xot Saving "Unquestionable it certainly is that much of our current earnings is not going to saving but is being diverted to speculation or waste. One reason for the unfavorable reception of vari ous foreign offerings of securities is the fact that funds are so largely employed at home in all kinds of transactions in real estate, com modities and securities. In the na ture of the case the foreigner cannot offer a very large rate of interest as contrasted with the possible earnings of funds in speculative em ployment. , "Our attitude toward foreign se curities must therefore depend very largely upon the extent to which w'e value our trade development. If we are willing to allow temporary specu lative profits to outweigh our inter est in steady foreign trade develop ment on which to build future busi ness the prospect of financing our foreign trade is not very good and we may expect an early decline in it. On the other hand,* if wo are willing to be content with a modern rate of interest and prefer this, coupled with the prospect of de veloping a strong foreign trade, to the quick and easy profits already referred to the chance of floating foreign trade securities is very much improved. "Just at present, for reasons al ready stated, the pendulum appears to have swung against foreign trade financing, with the result that since the beginning of November new low records in exchange quotations have been made, while the prospects ap pear to indicate a decline in goods shipments to sundry foreign coun tries. That such a decline will con tinue to manifest Itself because of the inability of this country to ab sorb any such quantity of securities as would be necessary to continue the financing on its present scale, and because of the apparent disinclina tion of American investors to pay much attention to long-range trade problems, is the opinion of not a few, and in the absence of countervailing considerations seems to be entirely likely."

PLAY TOXIGIIT Jan Sickesz, the celebrated Dutch pianist, whoso recital at Fahnestock Hall this evening is looked for ward to with great interest by music lovers of this section of the country, is one of a great many ar tists whose rise to fame was held in abeyance by the war. The night that the fatal shot which murdered Arch duke Francis Ferdinand was fired, Sickesz was playing to a crowded house in Paris. The following morn ""ff Papers were filled with the news of his "arrival." His playing of the balnt Snens "Concerto and Chopin's "Polonaise in A flat major" were never-to-be-forgotten delights. Yet :n a lew short weeks the name of PI ekes* and of all other artists of his kind who had not already established themselves in the hearts and minds of men were supplanted by the long roll of men who were dying In arms. The report of Slekesz's remarkable playing, however, had reached this country and in the autumn of the year the great war started he was invited to play at the opening concert of the New York Symphony Orches tra, which invitation he accepted. His playing on this occasion was acclaimed with delight by New York critics and he was induced to make r tour of a few of the leading musical cities of America after having made the customary bow in Aeolian Hall, lie Is again in this country this win ter and before making a tour which has been planned for him later in the season, he accepted the invitation of a few people living in this vicinity, who had heard him play abroad, and his promised appearance at JCahne stock Hall on Friday evening is the result.
