This is the fifth and last of a series of stories on European farm relief problems. R)i United Press ROME, Feb. 21.—The principal agrarian problem facing Italy at present are the questions of increasing home-grown wheat and a grandiose scheme of reclamation known as the “integral land reclamation scheme.” This latter design, admitted on all hands to be one of the most comprehensive agricultural plans conceived in modern times, contemplates the reclamation of 4,471,000 acres of uncultivated land and presents a mass of financial and technical difficulties. The two problems are closely bound up together, and may even, be said to be one, for the “integral land reclamation scheme” when carried into effect w’ill have the problem of growing sufficient wheat in Italy to reduce imports to practically nil.

Indiana Mother is Proud, Now Don’t allow your child to remain weakened or run-down for any length of time. In that condition, children are so easily attacked by the millions of tiny germs that are seething and swarming around us. And it’s so easy to get the bilious, fretful, puny, underweight ones back into condition, with a hearty appetite, rosy cheeks and abundant energy, by using a purely vegetable, product which physicians have indorsed for over fifty years. Children love the rich, fruity taste of Caiff-'mia Fig Syrup and its acts almost like magic to regulate their little bowels and stomachs. It gives these organs tone and strength so. they continue to act as nature intends them to do and you don’t have to keep dosing your child. Four million bottles used a year and the enthusiastic words of mothers everywhere prove it gives satisfaction. Another Indiana mother, Mrs. C. E. TDurman, 426 Irving place, Indianapo’is, says; “My little daughter, Delores, suffered terribly from constipation until she got very weak,! run-down and underweight. I gave her California Fig Syrup and in just a little while she was eating heartily and gaining weight. Soon she was her bright, normal self again.” Always ask for California Fig Syrup by the full name to avoid substitutes.—Advertisement. THE INDIANA TRUST CO. Pay 4% Saving.

Bought Coffin 19 Years Ago Bn' s Ppedal SOUTH BEND, Ind., Feb. 21— John L. Siefert, 87, was buried here Wednesday in a coffin which he bought nineteen years ago. It had been held by an undertaker since 1910. a state in which probation has worked to enormous advantages. He said the system has been in operation there twenty-five years and in this time none of the penal institutions have been increased in size. He said that Boston is not faced with the problems of racketeering and rum wars because of this.

ORPHANS LEARN USELESS FARM WORTHMILLION Oil Gushers Bring Gold to Penniless Little Girls. Bp Times Special APPERSON, Okla.. Feb. 21. Fortune has reached into this ltitle Osage county town and favored two orphaned girls not yet old enough to realize fully their good luck. The girls are Doris and Una Hembree, 5 and 7 years old, who have just been notified that they are to share in a first royalty payment of $203,500 from the farm their parents left them. Their share will amount to $40,000 and is only the begininng of wealth which eventually w’ill come from the eight producing oil wells on their farm near Maud. Okla., in the greater seminolo oil field area. The girls live with their aunt, Mrs. Lemon, at Apperson. Their mother on her deathbed in 1926 placed the girls in the care of her sister, Mrs. Lemon. The girls’ father, Oren Hembree, died in 1924 from injuries sustained when he fell from the roof of a barn he was building. When the mother died a debt of several hundred dollars stared the children in the face. After the father's death the mother barely managed to eke out an existence and could not reduce the debt. Mrs. Lemon and her husband, however, after the mother’s death, managed to keep the farm, then thought to be worthless. But now the girls and their guardian, Bert Harris, Maude banker, have been o-dered to appear in court soon to c aim their share of the estate w’hich is now worth a million or so. It is a safe bet they will be there. Mrs. Lemon has children of her own. r.nd the house in which the

whole family lives, together with the grandfather. D. N. Brothers, is no larger than the ordinary oil field residence—three or four rooms, but there always has been room for the orphan sisters. Una, the older, has started to school, and $40,000 means a piano so she may take music lessons, and money for art lessons in which she shows aptitude. First of I. U.

"When Mother Nature rears up a tobacco plant with its big family of growing leaves, she gets like most mothers • • • a little bit partial. "'Just look at those no 'count top-leaves' she thinks, 'gummy and woody, no matter how much sun I give them. And look at the ground’leaver, they get frizzled and burnt by the sand, no matter how hard I try. But the heart-leaves grow silkysmooth, and bright as a ten dollar gold piece.* "So, to the heart’leaves, Mother Nature gave the quality of making a thrilling, throat-easy smoke.
