two decades a race war will astound the
world unless something is done.
I'VE are living on the crest Of a VOL

PEARLING IN PHILIPPINES
HAZARDOUS BUT PROFITABLE

Pearling at JolO. which lies at the
southwestern extremity Of the Philip
pine group. is a mysterious industry a
large amount OF capital and thousands
of lives are risked each year in delving
into ocean depths for the great, rough
shelled bivaIve which occasionally con-
tains a pearl worth a kings ransom
Because of the great risk involved and
the 5)ossible fortune TO be gained, the
Industry has a fascination scarcely 10

perienced II. Because of the great va
riety of people who search Tor pearls,
the vast area of the hunting grounds.
the centuries-Old customs of the Moros
and the special laws covering the IN
dustry. no statistics can be obtained
which will approximate the prohts. Inc
business is. therefore. mysterious.
PearlIng is a game of hazard for high
stakes The pearler must risk capital
and human life. He must brave the
sea and go prepared to fight for his
rights with savage men. and he must
paw the taxes and divide the profits
with the shrewd traders from Ceylon
and Singapore. Sometimes, says the
Far Eastern Review, fortune smiles.
Three years ago single pearl was
marketed I'm the Celebes for sc, 900 pesos.
Such finds rarely come to public notice.
Shrewd traders are always on hand 70
snatch them away from the ignorant
and fearful divers. and the jewel is first
exposed for sale in London or Paris OF
a Dutch port.
The MorOs have three ways OF getting
the pearl shells out of the sea. One Is
by actual diving. one by dredging, and
third by a three pronged catcher LET
down by a rattan rope. This last
method can be used only when the sea
is absolutely calm. because the least
ripple will prevent the fisherman from
seeing the shell at the bottom of the
sea. When the first method is en-
ployed the diver always says his pray
ers before he goes down. In the days
when shells were plentiful the diver
went down TO depth of from to 1.
fathoms, but now there are men who
even go as deep as 20 fathoms.
In former times the divers were sup
posed to give the biggest pearls to tbs

confined to the Margaret Pillsbury Hos
pital under care of DR.. F. A. Sullings
and passed a comfortable night. He has
shown considerable Improvement this
morning.
Is Judge ChGmberln, who was pre-
vented from opening the trial I'm the
famous Christian Science case yester-
day, the victim Of "evil thought" cast
upon him by thousands Of devOut mem
bers Of the sect who are anxious to
hamper by every means in their power
what to them seems a very unneces-
sary proceeding?
The coincidence Of his sudden indis-
position. and the fact that the physi-
clans announce today that although by
no means dangerously ill., Judge Cham
berlin will probably not be able 10 hold
court for several days-ali these facts
tend to confirm many of the Christian
Scientists here in the belief that his
is no ordinary illpess.
Mother Eddy will never be placed
on the stard in open court, said a
prominent member of the church today.
Il don't care what maneuvers our OPP
pOnents resort 10, we shall never give

Poultry Notes

The man who depends upon
luck generally gets left.
The three requisites of a hustler
are application, patience, per-
sistance.
Model poultry houses are not
expensive, fancy affairs, but
rather comfortable and convenient
ones.
a Texas writer says that when
an inexperienced enthusiast goes
into the poultry farming business
with anywhere from five hundred
up, it is proof that the fools are
not all dead.
Gigantic poultry farms are very
often the property of wealthy men
who must entirely depend upon
hired skill to run them. They
are run--in the ground.
A successful poulterer is one
who studies his markets, the par
ticular, likes and dislikes of his
customers, learns to fill every
want, and just as they wish it,
and never knows more than his
customers.
The Democrat-sentinel. [volume] (Logan, Ohio) 1906-1935, 1907-05-30

in raising poultry.
Fowls are mrch like bulls, i'm

thing red moving toward them,
like red hat, red shawl or red
bodice worn by woman.
Poultry used to Lave women at
tend to them frighten at the APP

The way to check most poultry
troubles is to prevent the causes.

The man who has been fail

Chicken raising is not the dump.

people.
