When it comes to the development
OF her export trade Germany appears
to lead the United States. Take the
cement industry, for instance. On a
capital of s22, 1000, 900 she has shipped
her product all over the world and
during the past year cleared up a
profit OF 10 per cent. Even in Brazil
Germany sells much more cement
than the United States and yet the
quality is said to be inferior to the
American product. In many other
lines OF export business Germany is
away ahead of us. r

four dogs on duty as substitutes for

These dogs have been taught to obey
implicitly only men wearing police
uniforms, to answer a police whistle

to get away from an officer. They
have been instructed to seize the man
whom they are after by the legs,
throw him and keep guard over him

In Norway, Sweden, Denmark and
Great Britain women are eligible to
municipal Offices, and in Norway they

PROPAGATION OFTHE AVOCADO PEAR
BY BUDDING.

The avocado is of comparatively recent
introduction into Florida, but experiments
in the propagation of this fruit by budding
methods have been undertaken at the Elk
pertinent Station of the State for some years
past. Success has attended these efforts,
since a report dealing with the work done
states that frequently as many as IS per
cent. of the buds have developed into trees.
The method of budding is the same as that
practised in the case of citrus fruits. 1t is
recommended, however, that the buds used
should be rather larger than ordinary citrus
buds. They should preferably be inch
in length, since small buds are frequently
grown over by vigorous stocks. For wrap
ping the buds, waxed cloth IS mentioned as
giving better results than string. BY adopt
ing this method of budding, large unpro-
ductive avocado trees can be made TO give
good returns. The trees should be cut down
within 3 or 4 feet from the ground, and
buds from a good stock inserted on the
shoots which soon make an appearance

or to the Parish Of st. Elizabeth IN October

gathered. in order to demonstrate the best
methods to the growers.
In his report dealing with the work done,
The instructor recommends that vanilla should
not be planted under very tall trees, since 1t Is
often necessary to climb the trees in order to
get at the pods, which frequently leads to
breakage of the vanilla vines More satisfactory
results are obtained by planting under trees
which do not grow too high. and which sena

Grown in this way, the pods can be easily
gathered without damaging the vines

OGDEN MANAGER SEEKS
MATCH FOR THOMPSON
Irrepressible Cyclone Refuses to Be
Retired to Has-Been Division
and Challenges Welsh
and UnholZ

The sports up at Ogden are hunger
ing for some good lightweight to get
up that way long enough to crafty the
championship aspirations of Cyclone
Thompson, and the enterprising ca
manager of the Ogden fight factory is
dissipating his wealth in telegraph tolls
in efforts at inducing Freddie Welsh,
Phil Brock or Rudy Unholz to tackle
the job (?). The offer includes an al
legged temptation of a guarantee of
$1,000 for the winners share, with the
privilege of taking a percentage of the
receipts.
UnholZ merely smiled when he re-
ceived the offer by wire and Welsh is
not in Los Angeles TO decline. When
the news of the offers became known
the sports had to laugh. 1t seems like
a shame to dig into the forgotten past
and dig up such proved dubs as
Thompson to entertain CD fight fans
with an exhibition of gameness
Thompson has Joe Grim beaten to
death in the race for the prize as the
champion human punching bag, but his
gameness is about all that can be said
for him at this late day. He does not
class with the present day crop of
lightweights and is not regarded as an
attraction down this way. Just what
he ever did to entitle him to a match
with Welsh, Unholz or any of the
topnotchers of the light division is diff
ficult to figure out.

SANTA BARBARA TO
JOIN SUMMER LEAGUE
Proposition Satisfactory to Promoters
and Probably Will Be Approved
by Financial Backers
of Team

Magnates of the Southern State
league met last night at Eagles hall
and arranged a new schedule for the
summer season to go into effect June
Il and acted favorably upon a propo-
sition made to the league by Potter
and Patterson from Santa Barbara.
The proposition for the admission of
San Pedro as member of the league
was not favored, owing to the inability
of the San Pedro promoters to arrange
for suitable grounds in time to begin
the summer season with the other
clubs. The proposition from Santa
Barbara was considered and favorably
acted upon, although slightly changed,
and Potter and Patterson are so we'll
pleased that they will return to Santa
Barbara today to put the proposition
before the business men Of the Chan
mel city who desire to back the team.
1t is believed that the team will be-
come a member of the league.
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday night at the same place when
all the details. of final arrangements
for opening the season June n will
be settled. The schedule will be COM
pleted at that meeting, also.

MEMSIC DRAWS
WITH DONOHUE
PUTS UP FAST FIGHT FOR
SEVEN ROUNDS
INJURIES HAND AND LOSES HIS
EARLY LEAD
Has Opponent So Bewildered In First
Part That He Does Not Know
How to Get to His
Corner
Special to The Herald

Special to The Herald
BOSTON, Mass. June George
Memslc and Young Donohue fought
twelve fast rounds to a draw tonight.
The Californian sustained q fracture
of a bone in his left hand In the early
rounds and although having good
lead up to that time he slowed down
materially afterward and this permit
ted Young Donohue to cut down the
lead which Memsic took in the first
part of the fight.
Memsic went after his opponent in
his old time form in the early rounds
and put up such a furious fight that
he had Young Donohue bewildered and
the latter did not know which way to
go to his corner at the end of the open
ing round. 1t looked as If Memsic
would end the fight long before the
limit, but the injury became so pain
full that he slowed down in the final
five rounds, permitting Young Donohue
to get a draw.
