SMOKE BARRAGE TO SAVE BRAZIL’S COFFEE I I* (By Lawrence S. Hass, United Press Staff Correspondent) JRIo De Janeiro —(By Mail)—The; “alerte” and d“all clear" system of warning of air raids, which was used in Paris during the war, has beenl adopted by the coffee planters of Southern Brazil in unique measures i which have been ordered to combat frost. A smoke barrage is to be i adopted instead of the shrapnel which was so effectively used to “get” enemy air raiders and the agricultural officials of thin country believe ;that compliance with the new regulations will provide against a repetition of the damage of last year’s frost, which cost so many millions of dollars to planters and also to.consumers. During the winter of 1918 an extraordinary cold wave, beyond the memory of the “oldest inhabitants.” swept over Southern Brazil, and it was during this spell that the first snow in more than eighty years fell in Beunos Aires. The frost found the [ Planters absolutely defenseless, and j when normal weather returned, it I was found that millions of coffee trees , were killed and a large percentage iof the others injured so badly that the crops for the next three years will ,be cut down By about one-half. Tni stead of a production of 15,000,000 ! bags a year, seven or eight millions l is all that can be hoped for annually until 1921.

This frost had the effect of about tripling the local price of coffee. The new plan which has been ' evolved for getting the best of “Jack , Frost” is being put into effect by the : Municipality of Itajahy, a city in the I state of Santa Catharina, in the heart of the Southern Brazil coffee country . Planters in other localities will watch the effect of this campaign with the greatest interest and many are con- , sidering its adoption. Its success will , probably mean the enforcement of such a regulation in other districts ' where coffee crops would be subject : to frost. The regulations are compulsory, being issued by the agricultural authorities. Violation by planters under the jurisdiction of the district lays them subject to heavy fines. Tho project for the preparation cf I fuel for bonfires North, East and West I of the coffee groves at distances of I thirty to forty metres apart. This i 1 reparation must be made early ini the cool season and continued for several months. Each planter must collect sufficient wood and brush to | ' keep fires burning three nights in succession, and in case the fuel reserve becomes in any way depleted must maintain the adequate supply. I When the forecasters see a frost, a signal to the planters to light their j fires immediately will be given by I means of the firing of bombs. I The idea is to create as much smoke at possible, and hay and green leaves are to be thrown on the fires. When the danger of frost is passed the planters will again be notified by bombs I to extinguish their fires. FOR RESULTS TRY WANT ADS

AMERICAN STUDENTS WED BRITAIN’S GIRLS (United Press Service) London —(By Mail) —American sol-dier-students at British universities are doing something else besides studying. They are negotiating entangling alliances between U. S. male citizenery and the gentler sex of Britain. In oilier words, they are marrying English, Scotch, Irish and Welsh girls wherever they happen to be quartered by the army educational. authorities. According to the “American Sol-dier-Student,” the organ of the student detachment of the U. S. army educational detachment of the U. S. army in Great Britain, ten marriages with British girls have occurred among the detachment at University College, Ijondon, while other detachments at Oxford, Cambridge, and elsei where are not very far behind. There are between six and seven hundred I American students in London, and EdIngburgh has nearly as many. Nine weddings are reported from Edinburgh. and there is hardly a town in which they cannot report an AngloAmerican wedding. COURT HOUSE NEWS Hunting and fishing licenses were j issued to Ricahrd E.

Sometimes there are serious conditions where a hospital operation is the only alternative, but on the other hand ' so many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, after doctors have said that an operation was necessary — every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it a fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordealIf complications exist, write to Lydia E.

Fceding* the Millions INCREASING the food supply of the world is the most vital problem which man must solve. The burden of this solution rests heavily upon the shoulders of the farmers of America. The service rendered by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) in producing fuel and lubricants for the economical and efficient operation of farm machinery has made it possible for the farmer to cultivate a greater acreage, produce larger crops, and get them to market at least expense. ‘ By maintaining its comprehensive system of distribution, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) makes it possible for the farmer to get his requirements of petroleum products easily, regularly and quickly. By virtue of this complete service on the part ot the Standard Oii Company I (Indiana), he may, literally, “make hay I while the sun .shines.” I He is independent of the health or endur- | ance of horses. He can plow, cultivate or | harvest when these tasks should be done. | He can have a complete cycle of activity, | operating even by shifts, if necessary. He can plan his operations on a definite I schedule to produce a steady, constant I supply of farm products for you and your family. Thus is illustrated how you benefit by the service rendered by the Standard Oil ComEany (Indiana) to the farmer. These are enefits accruing to the world at.large which accentuate the usefulness of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) as a public servant, and emphasize how completely it discharges its obligation as such.
