Arkansas and Oklahoma —In the matter of the production of important crops, other than cotton, in 1919. “It would be a source of interest and information to ascertain the five states which led In the production of corn, wheat, oats, hay, and so on. “There are what shall be designated a* seven groups of crops. state is accorded rank by the largest and the next largest production.

China Makes Rapid Progress Forward BOSTON. May 22.—Dr. Geil has been spending nearly a year In China and studying the Fire Holy Peaks, mountains which for 3 000 years have been visited by countless pilgrims. He was most impressed with the progress made by the Chinese people toward 'modern civilization duriug the last few years. The one ambition of the youth of China is to learn English. As for their own intricate writing, a method has been devised which reduces the period of study from several years to a few weeks. Radical changes are taking place, some of which even affect the outward appearof the people's homes. In some of provinces an order directs every family to plant a number of trees every y -ar. This is being carrifd out with such energy that groups of young trees ors found even in streets and market places. Ask Taller Buildings as Housing Remedy

LONDON. England. May 22.—The solution of the bousing problem in London by the erection of higher buildings ■was advocated in a paper read before the Royal Institute of British Architects. An appeal was made for the modification of the London building act so as to permit buildings up to 20* feet in height opposite parks, open spaces and the riverside, and structures equal in height to the width of the street when the latter was over eighty feet in width. The proviso was made that these erections should be fitted with staircases affording alternative means of escape incase of fire. ' It was contended that the suggestions. Instead of Increasing the traffic problem, would contribute to reducing It, as the more business and residential premises provided in central positions the less traffic would result between the center and the outskirts.

U. S. DOPE RULE PLEASES CHINESE Urge Tightening of Ban to Include Transit in Band. PEKING, China, May 22.—The decision of the treasury aepartment to prohibit exportation .of opium, cocaine and their deriyatives after Feb. 16, was most favorably couiinneted on in the Chinese ?ress. ■ The hope was expressed that in addition to this action the American govern- ; ment would go one step farther and prohibit shipment of these drugs from other countries through the United States. ! It is known that many shipments are made from European countries in bond ; through the United States, and it is believed here that If the government can find a way to amend its treaties with European countries so that such drugs will not have the privilege of being bonded it would result in cutting off a large part of the supply which now filters into China from all western couu- | tries.

Mass., May 22.—“ Ain’t love the grandest thing?” That probably was the sentiment that inspired Agnaslo Oeuiffre. a deaf mute, to flirt with passing girls on the street corner.

Canada Plans H. C. L.

With a large supply of fish from both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts, it is expected that the price of ment will f ill in consequence.

EGYPT MAY CUT RAIL SERVICE Coal Shortage Forces Consideration of Water Routes. CAIRO, Egypt, May 22. —Owing to great difficulties experienced in obtaining coal supplies, the Egyptian state railway has Issued a statement to the effect that, unless, within a stated time, certain consignments are definitely assured, the administration will be bound to reduce very considerably both the passenger and the freight service. It appears that, finding exports of coal from England are almost impossible at present owing to abnormal circumstances there, large orders were placed in the •United States, but the recent strike in America stopped that source, leaving only the possibility of small supplies from Indiana and South Africa. An interesting feature of the present •ituatlon, however, is the fact that for the first time the railway administration is urging the public to utilize to the utmost water transport. The government in the past, up till the outbreak of the war, did little or nothing to develop inland navigation, but rather hindered It, especially through competition in freights with river and canal traffic and many petty obstructions, such as the opening of railway bridges at inconvenient times and at very short periods. Although a certain amount of Improvement has occurred since the military authorities took the matter In hand, inland navigation in Egypt still simply “happens,” rather than exists as an organized link In the country's system of communications. Apart from this policy of competition on part of the railways, the irrigation service, which is responsible for upkeep of the waterways and locks, gave very little interest to the matter, it being oonridered that navigation in an irrigation canal is a nuisance. As for the river, facilities are left almost entirely to the whims of the Nile ntid consequently, navigation during the •pring and summer, when the river is *>', Is very difficult for any but very ibsllow draft boats. £. cstematic training works will be made in the near future. Their lack, and the many undeveloped facilities for navigation in Egypt, caused the government much inconvenience and trouble

A snake Just bit me.” Breathlessly Frank Dorraco burst through the door of Central Emergency hospital and addressed this plea to attendants In charge. “Interesting, if true,” commented Dr. Calmann Silbermann. “In such eases the antidote is incision, cupping, cauterization and hypodermic injection of drugs.” “Where do you get that stuff,” agonized Dorraco. “You don't believe me. Well, here's your snake.” And he pulled from his trouser leg a live, struggling three-foot gopher snake. “I'm a snake catcher by trade,” be elucidated. “A friend of mine offered me a drink of good whisky if r brought him a three-foot gopher snake. “Well, here It is, and I want a drink of whisky.” “Where’s your friend?” queried the doctor. “Can’t find him,” mourned Doraceo. “That’s why I’m here.” “Sorry, but we have none,” said Dr. Silbermann. “You'd better keep on looking for your friend.” Photograph of Girl Shows Cupid Way SPRINGFIELD, Til., May 22.—Four years ago, when Raymond R.

SEE BIGGER DAY IN PHILIPPINES Opportunities Pointed Out for Man of Moderate Means, SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.—Two Philippine islands today offer the greatest opportunity in the world for . the man of modest means, and the development of the islands during the next few years will be one of the marvels of the age, according to John L.

Harrison, he said, has been granted a leave of absence and is to spend three months touring India. Concerning the islands Irwin said: “The cost of living has gone up in the islands just as it has on the mainland, but wages also have increased. “We have had little trouble in the Philippines. “The trouble we have had has been quickly settled. “I believe the present sugar crop will be larger than last year’s, and every year the acreage devoted to sugar production Increases. “The islands never were more prosperous. “The Philippine independence propaganda is being spread, but It can not be said that the demand for independence Is greater than it has been. “The natives have improved their conditions so much under the Stars and Stripes that mostly they are satisfied.” Veteran, 8 Times Wed, Dies at Age of 96 DALTON.
