A similar acreage will be pjanted each year until the price of rubber, or the demand for it, will create another plant. The process of production, from the seeding of plant beds within an immense nursery, to the final delivery of the rubber in 200-pound blocks ready for the market, has been completely mechanized. Labor Problem in this way Intercontinental Rubber Company, which also owns Im mense plantations of hevea rubber trees in Sumatra, Dutch East Indies, has been able to solve the labor problem. One American laborer, at the going wage, can produce just as much rubber from the guayule shrub in one year as can 16 Sumatran coolies drawing the same amount of money. Altogether 10 implements, each of which has been especially devised and developed, are used in the process of growth and delivery to the factory. These include a seed gatherer, topper and cutter in the nursery, a six-row planter setting the plants in rows, six-row cultivator, cutter severing the roots at nine inches underground when ready for harvesting, duster to relieve the shrubs of dirt, windrower and harvester. Four-Hour Job This last instrument picks up the shrubs from the ground and reduces them to small bits before they are hauled into the factory. From the time they reach the factory until delivery of the 209pound block of rubber is exactly four hours. Four years are required for the plants to develop. They may be left in the ground for 10 years, .with an increased rubber content each year. According to Carnahan, America's normal rubber requirements total 1,000,000,000 pounds. This far exceeds the present possibilities of domestic production. However. his company has made experiments which prove that vast southern California, Arizona. NewMexico and Texas areas will produce the shrub at a profit. At present America imports 61 per cent of the world's rubber supply, SI per cent of which is turned into tires and tubes for motorpropelled vehicles. The new- product, guayule, is not a rubber substitute, is not synthetic, but is of exactly the same chemical content as the hevea rubber from the middle eastern areas. o The Prosaic The man with too much common a lot of fun. — Terre Tfanft*' Tribune.

The opposing counsel were unable to settle their disagreement, and Coroner W. S. Henry, of White county, in charge of the disinterrment, overruled the prosecution's protests. The casket was taken in a motor hearse to the one-story frame building which is Reynolds' town hall and opened in the presence of Arlene's sister and three brothers. An attempt to exclude the towns-, people was unsuccessful. An tin identified person came forward with a spray of red roses and placed them on the coffin lid.
