ADVISE FARMERS HOLD WHEAT

Federal Board Reiuses to Enage In Stabilization Operations With Farmers Aid

The federal farm. board has refused to engage ip wheat stabilization operations in spite of dnsistent requests to do so as a means of preventing recurrence of last Tuesday’s six-cent market price drop. . Telegraphic appeals to buy up the surplus wheat and store,it in any available place have flooded the board’s offices. It has decided, how}ever to await ‘perfection of the machinery of the farmers national grain lmarketing corporation, which will be }charged with handling any emergency and is: advising farmers meanwhile to hold back their product whenever possible. : A formal statemenf by the board said there was a prospective world shortage of- wheat this season and ascribed the immediate situation *“to hurried and, to some extent at least, unncessary marketing of wheat farmers.” ‘ : If the farmers can be induced to hold back their shipments past the congested period” it- said “the effect of stabilization will be accomplished and the farmers generally will benefit- by the slower marketing movement.”

Another Henoch Letter

From Stockholm we traveled to Gothenborg by the Gota Canal a three day trip a deseription of which I wiil give you in a later letter. - Stockhelm' is one of the world's finest cities. Located partly on a seres of islands connected by biidges ver canals, and partly on the mainand near Lake Malaren and a navigable outlet to the Baltic 40 miles away. this modern capital of Sweden combines a perfect commercial position with considerable natural beauty. Frequently called- The Venice of the i.\'orth" it is interesting not only 't'rom a physical and architectural point of iview, but from a historic and social a 8 - well. - v

Stockholm -was founded in the year 255 by one Birger Jarl. Originally a ortress on the island of Stadholm its subsequent growth in the Middle Ages under the Hanseatic League was slow. Not until this foreign influence was shaken off by the success of the Swedish armiesﬂin Europe did the city begin to. prosper in any material manner. Then many fine buildings were erected, and thie seat of government transferred to its presnt location. It bcame the industrial and artistic eenter of Sweden; and since the middle of the last century Stockholm has developed so rapidly that it is now a flourishing metropolis of nearly half a million inhabitants. The out-standing wonder of Stockholm is its new Town Hall which was just completed in 1922 at a cost of about $10,000,000. This amazing brick structure is 440 feet long by 244 feet wide and has a square tower 300 feet high at one corner. Its architect Ragnar Ostberg has succeed ed in combining Venetian, Germanic, and Byzantine motifs into a virile and harmonious expression of contemporary Swedish art. The interior contains two gigantic concourses or meeting halls. This great structurg is generally conceded to be one of the finest municipal buildings erected in modern times. | In addition to this masterpiece there are plenty of other attractions. The Royal Palace completed in 1760 is a huge pile done in the Renaissance manf ner. When the King is not in. residence some of the chambers are open to the public. The old Court Church with its Gothic interior; the Exchange erected on the site of the “Blood Bath” of 1520; the splendid facade of the House of Knights; “The Swedish Pantheon” the Royal Opera House; the Nathional Theater; the heroic statue of John Ericsson; the Olympic Stadium; the Law C(Courts; the various museums and galleries; and the new Lutheran Church should all be seen also. : Located in a neighboring suburb is the Skansen, or noted 70 acre Open Air Museum, which containg among other things exhibits of native arts and crafts, some old peasant huts a wooden church from Seglova, a model of Visby, the Summer’ resident of Swedenborg and a colony of real Lapps. - Still father away lie the Royal Chateau of Drottningholm or miniature Verailles; the Castle of Gripsholm; and the bathing beaches of Saltsjobaden. = In all, Stockholm is a clean and progressive community. Its pretty canals boulevards, and garden never fail to delight the stranger. Everything seems to denote prosperity and efficiency. The hotels are luxurious, the food delicious, and the natives hospitable. What more could any traveler desire? : From here we go to Copenhagen, Denmark. : Yours very truly Sol Henoch

HAWAIIAN FISH GODS STILL HOLD POWER

Anci\:x%t Form of Worship Ad- : hered to on Island.

Honolulu.—Ancient “fish gods” of Hawaii still retain their power to aid or hinder fishermen, according to the beliefs ‘of many Hawaiian and Oriental followers of the Waltonic art. Though Hawail has been for more than one hundred years nominally Christian, any old resident can point out the hidden fish altars and relate that they are still used. v : : An unbeliever in this ancient magic recently visiting the Kohala coast of Hawaii, where the old customs linger to a greater extent than in many parts of the lislands, relates that three schools of akule, a popular food fish were sighted near the mouth of Kuapanaia bay A fishing “hui” eor assoclation from the neighboring port of Kawaihae came with its nets and surrounded a portion of the school. Two men, one a Chinese, the other’a Hawaifan, took up a lease on the land through which all vehicles must pass to and from the fishing ground and warned all fish venders that one sack of fish would be levied upon each car going through the gate ‘with fish for sale. v People from all parts of the neighborhood approached the shore with bags for the akule, as the fishermen prepared to bring the fish in. Prospects were for a huge catch. But the old Chinese toll taker looked on with disgust. - “No pgood” he said U"No . can catch. He no give akua some fish.” _ The fishermen maneuvered until they had a much larger school surrounded, in ecombination with the. first. The people shouted in glee. But suddenly the akule bhroke loose, left the net and headed for the open sea. No fish were caught. . ~_The fishermen had neglected fo lay ~ offerings " hefore the rough stonc “akuah,” the fish gods of the place.

Illiteracy of Males in Japan Decreasing Washington.—Thanks to the progress of home study methods of education, Japan is making marked headway in decreasing the illiteracy rate of its male population living in remote regions of the empire, the national home study council, Washington, D. C., asserts.. ; o “This fact was confirmed recently in an announcement given by the Japanese ministry of war, which revealed that only 50,000 of the young men from rural districts, who were called to the colors this vear, are unable to read or wrife. In 1926 and 1927 "the number of illiterates included in the recruiting classes was 59,000 and 54.000 respectively,” the council states. adding : - ‘ o : “While education is compulsory in Japan, there are many of the natives, who, for economic reasons or official carelessness, evade the law -and do not attend school long enough to {master the rudiments of character writing, Most of this evasion is found in the rural regions among folk far removed from the government schools. This situation is being relieved by ‘the extension of home study programs for these people.”

Guards Watch Barber as He Shaves King Zogu Tirana, Albania.—King’s barber has soft job. - A handsome young man is King Zogu's barber, with thick, dark hair, a fashionable tiny mustache and the added “charm of married brows.”™ He is sald to have been not only ‘‘guaranteed” as a real fascist by Mussolini, but also personally introduced to King Zogu by him. ¢§ . Whether or not this'is true, Giuseppe Falgari is King Zogu’'s best-pald gervant., He receives, in addition to board ‘and lodging, a “retaining fee” of $175 a month, as well as a daily fee of $4 when he shaves the king. Perhaps this compensates for any loss of dignity Giuseppe may feel when the two armed guards stand by during the shaving. The Albanian king takes no risks and these knights protector of ‘the lather, as one might say, are always on hand for the dally operation.

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom tea’c-héth,_ but which the Holy Ghost teacheth: comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
