A most remarkable superstition Of
the Kenyahs Of Borneo is the consulta-
tion Of birds. IL, for example. a Ken
yah has to undertake long journey
he will not risk 1t without having first
consulted the "dakki" a kind of hawk.
II the hawk flies with its wings spread
out to the right side it is a good sign,
but II it goes TO the left or haps its
wings then the journey is not begun in
any circumstances. The next day the
Kenyah tries once more until the
hawk gives the sign which he wants.
Thus the continuation of the journey
depends on the flight OF the birds.
Some birds are Of greater Importance
than others, and also to the singing OF
the birds attention is given. Other
animals are also consulted, aud the sea
Dyaks call every animal bird when
they consult it.

as the remedy for the increase were
subject matters OF an address today by
Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson,
before the New York produce exchange.
I'VE cannot afford to be buying food
from foreign countries" he said, and
we must see to it that our western
farms produce enough, not only for
home consumption, but also to sell
abroad and square up the balance of
trade"
Secretary Wilson said in part:
The cost of living calls for a care
full inquiry into the causes that have
operated to bring about conditions now
to us as a people We have had great
abundance of food and prices that were
lower than most other countries with
which we compete in commerce and
manufacturing. Compensation for skill
and labor has been comparatively high
in our country, but increased cost OF
living has been an absorbing factor
that cannot be adjusted at present to
the satisfaction of those concerned.
"The major part of our people In the
east are being fed from the mississippi

much from the same source. am wei

These facts were confirmed to the As

The Coffey jury had been out almost
"a hours when Judge Frazer made his

In the meantime several notes had
been sent to Judge Frazer from the
Coffey jury asking a discharge as no
agreement could be reached. Each was
met with a refusal until 1t appeared
no longer possible that an agreement
would result.
