innl corporation, formed Of ave con

monopolize trade In contravention of
the second section of thss law.

America, control from so 20 IS per
cent of the trade in agricultural in

HOUSE IN POCKET
E%nqlishman Is Little Troubled by
Impedimenta in His Journey
inqs To and Fro.

7. H. Holding, the fully furnished
man. who is to demonstrate at the
simple-life exhibition how he carries
his bed in one pocket and his house
in another, explained some Of his con-
trivances recently to a London Daily
News interviewer.
All that a man really wants to pro-
tect him from the weather and supply
him with warm food and drink need,
he maintains, weigh no more than six
pounds thirteen ounces. Mr.. Holding
is in his SEVENTEEN year, and that is
the sort Of simple life kit he still
eses.
His tent consists of II ounces of
silk, with a sort of ishing-rod pole and
aluminium pegs. All his meals are
cooked on a tiny oil stove weighing
just over a pound, but capable of deal
ing efficiently with a rabbit or beef
steak.
Then there is a quilt large enough
to keep two people coy, though it
folds up into a package measuring
11x4 inches, and a water bucket hold
ing two gallons that can be tucked
into a space no bigger than your fist.
Mr.. Holding has invented innumer'
able other lodges in the way Of con-
centrated comfort-pillows that weigh
next to nothing and are blown up like
a cycle tire, pots and pans that van
ish when they are not wanted, toilet
apparatus weighing only a few ounces,
and so on.
BY the time he, is eighty Mr.. Hold
ing will probably have discovered how
to get a spare suit of clothes into q
watch case and at least n quart into
a pint pot.
Weather is a matter of almost com
| plete indifference to a nan Of Mr.
Holdings stamp. In the shelter Of bis
tiny tent he laughs at rain, has en-
dured as much as % degrees Of frost
and a regard snow with composure
As for cycling, he recently com
pleted his so, 000th mile on a daily
journey between Pullman and the Wes'
End.
