Some idea of the quantity of rubber used every year can be obtainted from the following necessarily rough esti-
 mate of French statistical experts. They calculate that the present total annual production of rubber is not less than 57,0OO,OO0 pounds. Of this total about 55 per cent. comes from South America and Africa, and considerably over 45 per cent of the finished prod uct is consumed in the United States. Germany is the second largest user of rubber.

Five steamboats are being built for a Kiel shipping comany which are said to be wholly unsinka'ble. The recent trial of one of the boats was carried out in the presence of representatives of the imperial navy and many ship ping firms. The vessel was fully laden to represent 200 passengers, and it was assumed that, in consequence of a leak, caused by a collision, the entire engine room division, into which water was pumped, had filled, while hole was made in the exterior to admit water freely. The ship accordingly sank, but when it was full of water 1t had still about foot of freeboard above the surface, thus satisfying the conditions imposed,

There Is such thing as being too eager to help. A London girl had a rather embarrassing experience in a church recently. She accidentally let her handkerchief fall. By repeatedly stopping to reach It furtively she at tracted the attention of the gentleman in the pew behind, who thought she was about to faint. With the best of motives, therefore, he took her gent ly under the arms and raised her up, greatly to her surprise. AS she tried to release herself another gentleman went to her assistance and before the lady knew what was the matter they were moving her out into the aisle, and, in- deed, carried her into the vestibule be- fore she could recover sufficiently from her astonishment to find words for pro- test.

Millions For Reclamation.

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE gen.
eral land Office has completed a com.
pilation of returns for the fiscal year
from local land offices throughout the
country, showing receipts from sales
OF public lands, and computation of
the proportion which is to 60 into the
reclamation fund. The statement
shows that 81. Ss2, ,0S4 was added to the
reclamation fund last year, and that
its total on June 80 last was 49,, $685.
1922. North Dakota's share of this
total is 1884, 1895, OF which 1888, ,sO3
was contributed last year. Montana s
receipts last year were S50O,746, the
total for the state being $2,647, 433.
The reclaim alton act provides that a
major portion of the money obtained
in each state shall be expended in that
state, and the secretary Of the interior
has construed this to mean that 81
per cent. shall be so allotted. The
major portion of proceeds of sales OF
land in North Dakota since the act
was passed is So, 40, 94l, and in Mon.
taua it is 81 $50, l9l.

Railroad Gets Valuable Lands.

TOPEKA, Nov. l0.-Thousauds OF
acres OF the most valuable farming
lands In Kansas, together with large
amount of land located in towns and
cities OF the state, is given to the Mis-.
souri,, Kansas & Texas railroad by a
decision Of the Kansas supreme court
today, in the case of the railroad
against Watson.
In July, 1876, congress granted to
the Union Pacific Railro ad company 5
southern branch, now the Missouri,
Kansas y Texas Railroad company, q
right-Cf way 200 feet wide from Fort
Riley to the south line of the state.
Af.erward patents were issued to priv.
ate persons for land through which the
railroad runs, without excepting the
rlyht.ofway. These persons have
treated the right.of-way as being only
100 feet wide, and in some cases valu.
abe improvements have been made on
the other % feet on each side, which
have been occupied and used without
disturbance for many years.
TIE railroad company brought suit
TO Dust these occupants, and the court
decided in its favor. The land affected
by the decision lies in Geary, Morris,
Lyon, Cotfey, Woodson, Allen, Neo.
sho and .abotte counties.

Land Fraud Case In Court.

SALT LAKE, Nov. 9.-Arguments in
the case in which the federal govern.
ment seeks to recover 1900 acres of
coal land said to have been fraudu.
!ently secured by coal companies con.
trolled in the interest of the Denver &
Rio Grande railway system were con.
tinued in the federal court today be-
fore Judge John A. Marshall.
Fred Il. Maynard, of Grand Rapids.
Mich, special United States attorney.
made the principal argument for the
prosecution in reply to the points
raised by the defense in its demurrer.
Mr.. Maynard charged that the interior
department had made gross blunders
in permitting title to these coal lands
to pass to the coal companies, and
that inasmuch a. the careles ssness and
blunders of officials of the department
had made it possible for the company
to secure patents by fraud and deceit.
the government was not barred from
seeking redress in the courts. He
charged the Utah land board with
"eXtravagance and wautOr pro-
cedure,' in its dealin. with the coal
companies, by which they were per-
mitted to buy valuable coal deposits
as agricultural lands and grazing
lands. He maintained also that the
men who took up such coal lands as
agricultural lands, paying 1925 an
acre for lands worth ,hous auds OF dol.
lars, were employees OF companies.
There was a conspiracy, he said, and
the government was entitled to redress
through legal proceedings.

make the matter a subject of form al
