School Boy Of
Bethlehem, Learns
"Thyee Rs" Here

Born in Jana, Palestine. attending
school In Bethlehem, the village where
Jesus Christ was born, Antoine METRE.
a Syrian. is here in this city learning
the elementaries Of reading, writing,
and arithmetic. He speaks fairly good
English. but his education received in
the town in which the most important
event OF Biblical history occurred was
very meager. 1t advanced no farther
than probably would the education up
to our third or fourth grade.
METRE, who is man Of "A. Is anxious
to learn to read and write English, AMI
multiply and subtract. He heard Of
the English classes organized by the
Y. NJ. c. A., and he applied. But his
foreign education was so very elemen-
tary that he needed coaching before he
could enter one of the classes, and
again both Of them were full and the
citation secured o. A. Phenix, Of tho
Marshall Oil Company. to tutor the
Syrian in the three RS.
The scene Of Metres birth and
early boyhood was Jaffa, the Joppa, Of
Biblical history, the chief port Of en-
try into the Holy Land. It IL forty
four miles west of Jerusalem. Six miles
south Of the Holy City. is Bethlehem,
where Metre went to school. To him
the places where the bible and tradi-
ton says were the scenes of the Inn
portant acts Of Christ and his disciples
are as familiar to METRE as are the
very common landmarks Of this city to
the local school boys Of today.
METRE has been in the United States
for the most of twenty years. During
that time he has returned to Palestine
three times, the last trip being made in
1906. His first came to this city ten Or
twelve years ago. but left, to return
last summer. He is unmarried and his
employment is operating a stear,
hammer in the NJ. & st. L. shops.

New Peace plan.

Castana Times: Why not settle our
international difficulties by series OF
baseball games? Let each nation
keep team in training. When some
question comes up that seems to be
heading towards war call out the
baseball reserves. Instead of England
sending over fleet of battleships to
see how many of our skyscrapers she
could knock into q Rocked hat she
could challenge us to five game
series, National league rules, the
winners to be conceded the point in
controversy. Or If the Japan nine put
it over the Cubs. the Pirates, the Reds,
the Tigers and the Hyenas the Japs
would be granted the right to use Cal
ifornia for permanent practice
grounds; otherwise said Japs to be
rooted off the continent. Texas
might play a bush league game with
Mexico to see who took the pot. Base
ball teams could be maintained lots
cheaper than battleships; and If oc-
#casionally 1t was necessary to shed a
little gore to appease the ancient
bloodthirst that sometimes possesses
the heart of man, the shortstop could
slug the umpire in the nose; or some
bleacherite hit the first baseman or
the head with pop bottle. War is un
necessary, wasteful, expensive. Let's
try baseball.

WARNS IOWA LAND BUYERS.

COlOneI JOhn r. irish, formerly al
Iowa citizen, but for many years a
resident of California, during a recent
visit to Des Moines. warned Iowa citi.
zens against the purchase of Califor.
mia land without being thoroughly &C
quainted with the tract in question.
In published and signed statement
in The Register and Leader he says:
Il find at present in Iowa many tin
Grant peddlers OF ranch lands in Cali
fornia, who are finding as their Gus
toners railroad workmen. wage earn
ers and school teachers. Some of
these peddlers are selling Zig land
at Fresno at $500 per acre, and find
ing takers.
These men are swindlers, and |
warn my friends in Iowa against
them. Buy no California land sight
unseen and, If you go there to In
spect it, remember that our land is
spotted. The good land Is very good,
the bad is very bad, from white and
black alkali and hard pan. But at
certain seasons the surface aspect of
all is the same. So il buyer goes
there, he must take counsel of some
one besides the seller as to the ma
ture and quality of the soil and its
underlay.
Again, don't pay for good land,
raw, a price that will be its value
when your labor has developed and
improved 1t, for that means that the
seller is taking out of your pocket the
increment of value to be added to
your land by your labor, and when
the land Is improved it will be worth
only what you paid for 1t raw.
ITO ditch and check land for irri.
cation for alfalfa or other irrigated
crops costs $50 per acre, added to
the cost of the land. When set in al
faifa. which is the foundation of our
agriculture as corn is in Iowa, land
is worth 500 to $50 per acre. In a
raw state half that sum per acre
should be paid for it, in addition to a
water right and cost I have farmed
many years in California, and have
seen happiness and profit follow hon
est treatment of eastern land buyers,
and sorrow, misery and broken hearts
follow their nlistreatment by promot-
.ers. Show the land peddler the
door. He Is walking swind1e, and if
You come to buy, don't succumb to
the lure of scenery and climate, but
use caution and common sense. as Won
do in your affairs in Iowa.

WASTING NATURAL GAS.

Oil experts of the United States
bureau Of mines who have ben inves-
tigating the natural gas industry have
reported to Joseph A. Holmes. the
director, that millions o. dollars
worth of this most perfec. fuel is
being wasted each year in the United
States
The history of the natural gas in.
dustry is an appalling record OF in
credible waste, say Ralph Arnold and
Frederick G. Clapp, the experts, in
their report made public today. They
refer to the waste in Oklahoma
Louisiana and California as being no
torious.
In Oklahoma. one hundred million
cubic feet of gas is escaping into the
air every twenty-four hours. This has
a value OF $4,000 a day or s7,300, 900
a year. This waste is also equal to
one and one quarter million tons of
the best bituminous coal
The waste in Louisiana is estimat-
ed at seventy-fye million cubic feet
of gas daily, valued at $4,000 for
each day, or s5.475,O00 for the year.
| This waste of gas is equivalent to
nearly one million tons of coal. II
1 is pointed out by the experts that
/ this waste is especially aggravating
because of the fact that Louisiana
does not have any coal resources
within her boundaries, and that while
the state is allowing its supply of gas
i to escape in the air, the citizens are
/ paying for coal that has to be trans.
ported some distan e.
There were three principal wells
in the Caddo field from which the
greater part OF the waste occurred, Z
says Mr.. Arnold Two of these have
4 been closed by the owners, thus prov
ing that closure, is feasible. No at
tempt has been made to close the
other and when visited By Mr.. Clapr
in February. 1912, 1t consisted of a

worth as much as twenty per cent of
the oil produced from the same we'll.
1t is not extravagant to estimate the
loss Of gasoline the most desired
constituent of the product-in the
wasted gas Of California is ten per
cent of the value OF the oil producer
in the southern California fields ny
to 1912, or a clear waste of about So.
100000 or 100000. The value Of
the wasted gases carrying minor
amounts of gasoline. but useful for
fuel purposes. will bring the total
loss up to fully FIVE per cent of tbs
value of the total oil produced in the
state. or $4,000, 600"
Mr. Arnold quotes /. c. White, state
geologist of West Virginia as author
ity for the statement that from one
well in eastern Kentucky there pour,
ed a stream of gas for a period OF
twenty years without any attempt to
shut 1t in or utilize it, the amount OF
which is has been figured was worth
81 current prices more IMAM So,'Vo'
900.
Mr.. Arnold declares that there was,
years ago, great wastes in Ohio. Penn
sylvania, Indiana and West Virginia,
but it has been stopped through the
business like methods of the larger
companies and the efficient state leg
islation.
The oil experts of the bureau offer
number of methods whereby the
gas may be saved for future use and
urge upon the industry and the states
involved the necessity for quick ac.
ton If the gas fields are to be OF ser
vice in the future. Already number
of fields have become exhausted
through waste and others are begin,
ming to decline in production.
