Panama Canal
BY c. Il. srEMART

Washington. February 2i.-tspecial)
The most vexing problem which has yet
confronted the administration and which
how eonfronts Congress is the settlement
of the Panama canal tolls question The
hope of the commercial interests of the
country has been centered ON the PAN
anna canal as a means OF freeing 1t from
transcontinental railroad rates. But as
the canal hears completion, comes Great
Britain and raises the question of our
right to exempt from tolls, vessels flying
the American flag and dealing excu-
sively in the coastwise trade of the Unit
cd States.
Great Britain based her contention upon
article Of the Hay Pauncefote treaty.
This article reads;
THE canal shall be free and open to
the vessels of commerce of all nations
on terms of entire equality so that there
shall be no discrimination against such
nation i'll respect to the conditions or
charges of traffic or otherwise"
Congress has already taken the posi-
ton that article does not apply to
American vessels engaged in our coast
wise trade. from the very simple rea-
son that these ships do not compete with
the vessels of any other country in as
much as the ships of other nations are
prohibited by law to engage In the coast
wise traffic ofthe United States Great
Britain is unyielding and still contends
that the law passed by Congress exempt
ing these ships is in contravention of
the HayPauncefote treaty. In the Con-
gress there is a difference of opinion

MONEY FROM CHICKEN FARM
California Woman Has Proved That
Such an Investment May Be
Made to Pay Well.

Mrs. Annie Beasley recently saw the
possibilities of chicken farming, and
she turned to California for an ideal
climate. She started with o small cot
tage and one acre Of ground-but she
started right. Today she owns a ranch
of several acres and confesses she has
an annual income of handsome proper
tons.
Her first flock consisted of one
rooster and seven hens, but all were
pure bred-bought at the Los Angeles
poultry show. That year she had only
two chicken houses. but the next year
increased them to four, and the follow
ing to eight. Now she has big ranch,
but the strain of her poultry has al
ways been kept pure, so her prize win
ners are worth the $25 she charges for
them-and they eat no more corn than
mongrels.
Incubators and brooders are kept
running all the year except in July,
August and September, and the little
fiocks, as they come along, are divid-
ed for shows and shops. The perfect
specimens are ready to be groomed
with washings and bluing, and the
others receive three times a day all
they will eat Of milk, oatmeal and
grain to fatten them. Mrs. Beasley
has found that it is even more profit
able to sell egg at So setting than at
go cents dozen.

CHEAP LIVING AT ANTIOCH
RldIculously Small Sum VIII Provide
Family With Every Comfort and
Even With Luxuries.

The inflated price of his majesty the
turkey has no terror for the inhahi-
tants Of Antioch in Syria. To be sure,
they have no Thanksgiving feast to
worry about, but on the other hand
life can be one long fowl feast for
them the year round if they sc desire.
You can buy pullets and chickens for
five cents apiece. Eggs are four cents
dozen, while mutton and lamb seG
for three cents pound
These facts about the low cost of
living were learned from young Eng
hshman who had been ordered by his
physician to spend the winter away
from the cold and fog of his native
London. He decided to try Antioch.
This Englishman lived in the lap of
luxury in Antioch for five dollars a
week. He rented a fine house for
FIVE dollars month and he kept three
servants who were satisfied to work
for so cents week.

they are not sold in fixed quantities.
You merely pay quarter a week and
this gets you all the fruit and vegeta-
bles for your household needs.
This Englishmans nearest neigh
bors were an American family who had
been living in Antioch for several
years. They had all the comforts Of
life and their expenses were less
than $500 year.

One hundred years ago the Ken

q request from President Madison, set
aside a section of the state peniten-

American arms had become a per-

Disappearino akaa-

The disappearance of Lake Canter-
no, near Rome. will not seriously af-
feet the map Of Italy. Only the local
fisherfolk will miss its few square
miles. should its waters never return
from the subterranean caves into
which they have again disappeared.
The Russian government, however, is
much concerned about the greatest
of all the worlds lakes, the Caspian
sea, which covers an area of $780, 900
square miles. The waters of this
great inland sea are slowly disappear
ing. and the Imperial Academy of
Science has appointed a commission
to investigate on the spot the cause.
Unless the shores of the Caspian are
rising (which has been suggested),
there seems no other explanation but
that the water Is passing away by
some subterranean channel. The Brit
ish colonial Office has also recently or
dered an inquiry into inexplicable al
terations in the level of Lake Victoria,
which occupies some 1000 square
miles of the British East African pro-
tectorate, and occasionally sinks so
low as to prevent steamers communi-
eating with the shore.
