A world war In furs is predicted as
the result Of a boycott declared on
June auctions In London by fur deal
ers Of Leipsio, who are supported by
the dealers Of Vienna and Paris. All
German fur dealers who are members
Of the German association have been
ordered to join In the boycott, under
a penalty Of $500. More than $780,
100000 worth Of furs Is sold annually
in Leipsic. London is this city's prin-
cipal rival. The German fur dealers
say the trouble began with London's
annual June auction, which does not
afford sufficient time to work UP the
furs bought and sold at the March
auctions. Leipsic dealers asked Lon
don dealers to drop their auction this
year, as $50, 900. 900 worth of furs was
sold at Leipsie in January and March.
and another auction in June would
probably demoralize the market. The
London fur men refused to grant this
request and a boycott was declared.

Since Mayor Taylor has hearkened

league of jackson and issued orders
against the giving OF sacred concerts
by the Ennis military band on sun

gems who question the right Of the

musicians and subject to state rather
than municipal control.
But this fact aside. competent legal
authorities declare that there is no
law that would prohibit Sunday con.
certs, especially free and In the open
air, Among the legal authorities who
do not find any statutory provisions
that would prohibit such concerts -
District Attorney j. Il, Howle, who In

Clares that after Il careful search Of

Sunday observance he has found moth

Although the United States produces
little asbestos, 1t is the largest pro-
Queer OF objects manufactured from
this mineral. More than half of the
worlds supply is brought into this
country from Canada and is converted
into articles Of commerce. Being
finely tibrous, flexible and incombus-
tible, asbestos can be used In a great
variety of ways. 1t Is woven into
cloth for flremen and f%oundrymen ex-
posed to heat that would burn ordi-
nary clothing and Its use for tireproof
curtains In theaters Is universal. Ac-
cording to a report made the Unit
ed States produced last year LOO
short tons Of asbestos. There were
two producers In Georgia and one in
Arizona. The Arizona product has a
fiber which can be twisted into a yarn
0.03 of an inch In thickness that will
support an average weight of fifteen
and a half pounds. The amount of
iron it contains Is considerably more
than that of the Canadian fiber and
for that reason 1t is better for insu-
lating purposes.

FARMS.

Ever since the FIRST fringe Of set
tiers was established on the Atlantic
coast OF the United States there has
been a gradual and natural movement
westward. As the lands were occu-
pied and gradually impoverished of
their original fertility by careless or
~lmprudent farming new lands were
acquired. Land was cheap, and the
westward movement was accelerated
as population increased by improved
means Of transportation enabling the
product of the land to be probably
marketed, says Philadelphia Record,
Now that the process Of occupation
and tillage Of new lands has gone 30
FAR that we are nearing the limit OF
arabic opportunity and population has
overtaken our capacity for self-supply
OF foodstuffs, we are beginning to real.
ize the mistake made In haphazard
under-cultivation OF the soil and look
about for the remedy. There Is very
little dispute as to the means of re-
pair. The farmers must be educated
SO that they may know their farms
and get more adequate returns for the
labor Of husbandry, As farmers Or
farmers boys have moved westward
the tendency in the East has been to-
ward a lesser proprietorship and larg-
err holdings of farm lands. Farms
have been rented by owners, and as a
consequence the lands have been
farther impoverished.

There still are doctors who question
the efficacy of incubation with typhoid
fever serum, which is compulsory In
the United States army. But here are
the statistics, as summarized by the
Louisville Courier-Journal: In 1898
when the United States had an army
of $4,000 men In Florida there were
$500 cases Of typhoid fever and 480
deaths In four months. In the year
1913 in the entire army at home and
abroad there were only six cases of
this disease. In the big mobilization
camps in Texas this year and last, Gov
ering a period of many months, there
was not q case Of typhoid fever. This
is a record probably unparalleled In
the history Of armies It's pretty
hard to remain q doubter In the face
Of a showing like that.

Among the innovations being insti-

in the middle of the forenoon, and In

great relief to the girls, for instance,
who do nothing but count money or
p%erforate stamps and other such mo-
,notonous work. During this period
the employees move around, can close
their eyes, or enjoy the beautiful sun

finds that so far from decreasing the
amount of the daily output by this
ten minutes rest, that, thanks to the
relaxation, the return to work is be.
