YEW YORK.-It is not half SO
surprising that SO many chorus
girls marry millionaires as It
Il Is that SO many OF them re-
main happily married.
Why is 1t that chorus girls
make good millionairesses?
The question was put to Edna May
OF Belle OF New York" fame. who is
now Mrs. Oscar Lewisohn.
Her married life has been ideally
happy-of which she Is far more
proud than her success on the musical
comedy stage. Before she made her
great success rs the Salvation Army
lassle In THE Belle Of New York" she
was an obscure chorus girl, and her
husband is member OF the rich Lew.
isohn family OF bankers. with several
million dollars In his own right.
In these days OF quick marriage
and quicker divorce OF rich men and
women OF the stage It Is ditiicult to
lay down any rules or recipe for their
marital happiness" said Mrs. Lew.
isohn when interviewed at the st.
Regis during her recent visit here.
But am sure II couples lived us MIR.
Lewisohn and live there wouldn't bo
any unhappy marriages. We live q

well.nigh or quite impossible for
horses.
There is plenty Of room for ex
tension and improvement OF the stock
raising industry. Upon q large pro
portion OF steephill land suited only
for forestry and perhaps the produc
tion of certain fruits. such as pineap
pies. mangoes. etc. good grazing can
be secured through the establishment
Of guinea grass pastures. A number
OF native grasses. such as those which
flourish upon the savanna lands. al
ford good grazing. while Para and
Bermuda grass. cowpeas. velvet beans
corn. the sorghum known as 'Guinea
corn.' sugar cane. and peanuts do well
upon the lower-slope soils and constf
tute excellent forage crops. Another
good stock food Is cassava. 3 crop that
gives large yield with minimum OF
attention. 1t might be we'll to say
here that fine cattle. particularly the
large, strong oxen as draft animals In
portions OF Costa Rica. are fed al
most exclusively upon chopped stalks
OF plantian. banana and sugar cane.
in the latter part OF the dry sea
=
son the grasses Of the canal zone are
generally 80 parched that very little
sustenance can be secured from
cleared pastures. But stored forage
and crops like cassava, sugar cane.
sorghum. banana stalks. etc. could be
depended upon to carry stock through
the dry months to the rainy season

tender vegetation. With such posi-.
bilities for the local production OF
forage crops there Ia no necessity for
tho present relatively large importn.

other feeds by the few who are oper.
ating stock and dairy farms. AT the
time Of this survey the price OF shelled
native corn was 50 gold per SO'pound
| sack, while bran was bringing $3.50
per 100 pounds. It Is not Mt all sur.
prising under such conditions that the
demand for milk is SO much greater
than the supply and that the prices
are exceptionally high. MIX from
Gniry farms OF the savannah section
Is sold in the city OF Panama Mt rs
cents per bottle containing one-nftn
OF n gallon. less than quart.
Very few hogs and goats are raised
in the canal zone. a considerable
number OF hogs and goats are import.
ed from points along the Pacific coast.
and hogs principally from the Province
OF Chirique. in the high northern por-
tions OF tho Republic OF Panama.
Some poultry Is raised BY native and
| canal employees. In view OF the ruling
high prices there Is unquestionabiy n
good opening for raising both pork
and poultry. Away from the noisy
| activities OF canal construction the
deprcdations OF wild animals such rs
the tiger cat and Jaguar would likely
entail some loss to these industries.
Small farming. including the pro-
duction OF vegetables and choice trop.
ical fruits. such as the avocado. man.
go. pnpaya. pineapple. orange. guava.
anona. etc. can be carried on profit
ably with the application OF intensive
methods. coupled with proper care in
the selection OF crop varieties and
soil.
Such variety OF ornamental
plants thrive on this soil that there
seems little doubt that many or these
could be extensively and proiitnbly
grown for shipment to the United
States and other northern countries" 4"

Changes At MechauiesviIle.

There have been some radical changes at the mill of the French River Textile Company, Mechanics vile this week. The change is in the management and operative force of the plant and it came as great sur prise to the operatives connected with the industry and citizens of Putnam and Thompson generally.
 C. Fred Waterman, manager, and Percy l.. Waterman, superintendent severed their connections with the business, after some fourteen years em' ployment, Monday night. They are succeeded by J. B. Hanseom of Paw tucket as manager, and Mir. Cocoran of Rockville as superintendent.
 Tuesday, k. E. Hi, designer severed his connection with the mill
 The mill is one of the best equipped in the country and manufactures high grade worsteds. It's product is stable among the trade and the plant has often in the last few years run night and day to fill orders.
 The Watermans have lived in this city since coming to Meehanicsyillei for the last few years making theiI home at the Putnam Inn. MT. Hi has a home on Mechanics street.
 MT. Brace well, master mechanic, who lives At the Inn, in Mechanics vile has also handed in his resigna. tiOu
