touch with trade conditions and op-

parent commerce bureau was started
not long ago in New York, and there
are now only three such offices in ex-
istence. The fourth probably will be
started at Denver within the next six
months. These bureaus are to be in
constant touch with consular agents
all over the world and there will be
a constant interchange of information
so that our commercial interests may

Lue Gin Gong, a chinese horticul-
turist of DeLand. Florida, has devel-
oped an orange that beats anything
yet discovered in the citrus line. The
oranges will remain on the tree for
four years after maturity without
material loss of juice or change of
color Moreover they will stand de
gree of frost without injury that would
destroy any of the known varities IN
Florida. On one tree on his place he
budded one half with the Lue Gin
Gong orange. When a big frost came
the Valencia side of the tree had all
of the fruit badly frosted and destroy
ed Good sized limbs were killed by
the cold and the leaves were all off the
Valencia bud. On the Lue Gin Gong
side not leaf had been lost and even
the most tender growth on the tree
was uninjured while the oranges them
selves were apparently untouched by
the slightest frost affection.

be of great service in developing the
farm lands of that new state. The bill
provides for the development of irriga-

the money which is to be paid back on

plow which seems to be all right. 1t
is so arranged that it can be attached

with the frame by four bolts and
when so adjusted the entire length
of the frame is only seven feet. The

Prince Erik OF Denmark, third son of
Prince Waldemar, Queen Alexandra's
youngest brother, has been working
quietly and steadily for some months
past on a farm in Worcestershire,
England. He is about twenty years OF
age, has studied agriculture since he
was boy of sixteen and is now on a
tour of the principal European coun-
tries to obtain his finishing touches
in different departments of practical
farming, which is the principal pursuit
of his countrmen. The main object
of his trip is to obtain first-hand know
ledge of cattle growing, wheat farming
and the raising of pigs. How much
better it would be if some of our
American nobility would turn their
kids loose in these honorable pursuits
instead of making loafers of them.

M. w Savage of the International
stock food company of Minneapolis,
Minnesota, has skunked the railroads
by putting in an independent electric
line from ST. Paul to Manakato, dis
tance of one hundred miles and has the
cars running despite all the things
they did to him. The line passes
through a very rich agricultural dis
trict and the opposition steam road
has already taken off one of its pas
senger trains for lack of business so
that it would seem that Dan Patch. as
the line is called, is still pacing on.

Washington.-War has been de-
clared by the district authorities ON
the binding headlights of automobiles
within the city. limits. The commits
sioners have instructed Major Sylves-
ter, superintendent Of police, to con-
fer with the corporation counsel, and
formulate some regulation OF the pres
ent evil. The present traffic regula-
tons do not contain any provision for
the restriction of the. use of such head
light which would hold in q court OF
law.
/ Much Of the present danger arises
out of the carelessness Of motorists
and pedestrians themselves. Motorists
spinning over the roads in the ada
cent parks and thoroughfares leading
into the city limits needlessly leave
their headlights burn in the adequate
ly lighted sections. Pedestrians
thoughtlessly walk in the middle. of
the road instead Of keeping to the
right and to the side Of the road.
Much Of the present danger can be
eliminated by little care and thought,
but the problem of the .nonglare head
light is twofold. First, the dazzling
rays must be eliminated or the use of
such lights restricted in some way,
and second. the original Illuminating
qualities Of the headlight must be con
served. 1925 T.##
Adequate light on the public high
ways is needed today more than ever
before. The heavy black oiled roads
make 1t much more difficult to distin-
guish pedestrians on the highways
than it was in the early days Of the
automobile. before the roads were
oiled. & :.st ~ o.
Still another factor in the problem
is the quietness Of the present.day
motor. 1t is now possible to creep up
within a few feet Of another car or
pedestrian on the road without them
being aware Of the approach Of car.

SUNSHINE in THE STOMACH IA
Happiness Lies in Eating Above
Ground Products, 1t Is Said by
Those Of Certain School.

Some people say that to be happy
one should eat only sun kissed foods.
BY sun kissed, they mean all fruits
and Vegetables that grow above ground.
The more these things are dependent
upon the rays Of the sun for perfection
the better effect they will have upon
the individual who consumes them,

Every man and woman in daily life

Dragged Quarter Of Mile, Final
W Lands Prize.

! Lexington, Ky.-Elza Mitchell. q
nephew Of W. H. Newman, formerly
president OF the New York Central
railroad, while fishing in Beaver creek
the other day sighted an enormous
catfish under a rock.
Try as he would Eliza could not
tempt the fish to take chance on a
worm. Finally he knelt and attempted
to seize the fish. The, fish liked the
looks of Elias arm and swallowed It
up to the elbow. Eliza closed his fist
so that he had the fish hooked. Then
he tumbled into the water and the
fish started down stream. dragging
Eliza along.
! For quarter Of a mile the. fish
and Eliza churned the water. A drift
log helped Eliza to stop the progress
of the fish. His cries for help brought
Joe Duffy to his assistance. Joe threw
a plow line to Eliza and he was towed
to shore, bringing the fish with him.
! The catfish was three feet nine
inches in length. and weighed So
pounds. 4

nE7unino a Piano,

Many people think it is an easy
matter to tune q piano, but this is
not the case. AS celebrated must
clan as Hans won Bulow got into
trouble in New York owing to this
fallacious idea. He would not permit
the instrument to- be tuned in tho
wareroom, one Of his whims being
that even a short removal of a piano
knocks it out of tune. There is, Of
course, modicum Of truth in the
theory. So it was tuned upon the
platform where he was to perform.
He stood over the tuner all the time,
at intervals emitting groans and
strong German language. When the
task was almost completed he gave a
shout and, selling the wrench, began
doing it all over again. In three min
utes he had the piano SO shopelessly
out Of gear that 1t took three hours
to get it right again. Herr Won Blu
low had to pay dearly for this exhibit
ton Of ignorance. t.5s1

LIGHT Is PROBLEM

throughout the country. and the local
officials are keeping in close touch
with every development. Until some
device is invented relief will have to
come through regulation. ls,s.s.
From Los Angeles. Cal, comes the
word Of a simple solution OF the prob
lem. The means consists of lens
nodded hemispherically and sand
blasted to give a, frosted appearance
except for a small oval space slightly
below the center. which is left trans
parent. When seen from the height Of
the drivers seat the frosted surface is
between the eyes and the llamentand
one sees only the diffused circle Of
light and the form OF the approaching
car Is visible. ri e.fs :. ...s3s, NV
The beam Of light coming through
the clear oval is centralized on the
road directly and far ahead instead Of
as with the old style fiat glass over q
widening arc. The road is made
brighter by the contrast and the Diff
fused light coming through the frosted
surface enables the driver to clearly
see the front Of his own car, even in
the face Of an approaching binding
