HIS POSITION NO SINECURE
Persian Poet Laureate Kept at Work
lmmortaIlzIng the Speeches Of
His Royal Master.

Persia appears to be the only coun-
try besides England where a poet
laureate has been maintained of re-
cent years. Until Muzaffar-ed-Din
abolished the post in 1896 the court
of Teheran had for centuries pos
sessed laureate. whose duties were
far more numerous than those of his
British confrere.
: According to Narcisse Persin, who
spent some years in Persia at the
beginning of the nineteenth century,
court etiquette prescribed that
whenever the shah travelled outside
the capital his suite must include a
dwarf, giant, jester, historiog-
rapher and a poet laureate.
The last two were kept busy, for
while the historiographer had to re.
cord for pesterity all the doings and
sayings of the shah, the laureate wal
called upon to celebrate a large pro
portion of these in verse. NJ. PersiI
highly commends this custom, which
he found rigidly followed, 'for tn
shah, knowing that many of his ut
terances and deeds would be crystal
lied in an ode, felt bound, on thes
royal progresses, to speak and behav
majestically.v

PRINCIPAL FARM CROPS
WORTH S5.568.O73. 900

Washington, Dec. 15.-The ma
tons harvests this year have sur
passed any ever before recorded.
The value of the principal farm crops,
based on prices paid to farmers Dec
ember 1, was announced today by
the department of agriculture in its
final estimate 5,568, 073, 900,
making 1915 banner year, both in
value and in production of crops.
The unusual situation of extraor-
binary production and high prices
probably never before so pronounced,
is credited principally to the Eu-
ropean war.
With the price of grain soaring as
the war progressed, American farm
ers began the season by planting
greater areas to grain. The acreage
of the principal crops this year ag-
gregated approximately 486, $40
square miles. That is larger than
the combined area Germany,
France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark
and Switzerland.
Corn was planted on 108, 1921 900
acres, the second largest area ever
planted, and the harvest was 3,045,-
535, 900 bushels, the second largest
crop ever grown. Its value was II, ;
755, 1858. 900, exceeding that Of the
previous most valuable corn crop by
$ss, 900, 900.
New records were made in produc.
ton by wheat, oats, barley, rye
! sweet potatoes, rice and hay, while
: tobacco closely approached its pro
duction record, 1,103, AIS, O0t
pounds, made in 1910.
Production of the first billion bush
ell wheat crop and the second tire,
billion bushel corn crop were fea
lures of the year.
Wheat acreage aggregated So,
1893, 900 acres. or 100000 NOR
t than ever before. The yield wa
e 1863 bushels an acre, the largest acr
a yield for winter and spring Whea
+ combined ever attained in this cour
try. The final estimate of produ,
= tion was 1,011. 5O5. 900 bushels, wit
:. value of 1890, 2O2, 900.
u Oats, rye, potatoes. sweet pot
10 toes and tobacco all were planted O

ne and its record value of 1914 by fit,

ST. PETER THE FIRST POPE
Traditions o. the Roman Catholic
I, Church SO Record-Title Ones
Given to All Bishops. ,

According to the tradition of the
Roman Catholic church, st. Peter
was the founder of the church and
its first pope. Both the ecclesiastical
and the temporal authority formerly
exercised and still claimed by the
popes of Rome are held to be of d.
vine appointment, and to have been
hahded down ii nnbrpfeu continuity
from apostolic times to the present
age. Peter the apostle, it issasserted
was indicated by Christ himself as
superiars4o the rest Of the twelve
IN the faith and spiritual discern
ment, and as the one of the number
whom it was his design to invest
with special pre-eminence. In con-
formity with the design, Peter, ac-
companied by Paul, is said to have
gone to Rome after Christ's death,
and founded a church, over which he
presided as its bishop for % years
from Al A. d. to 81 A. D.-eventu-
ally suffering martyrdom in the same
year and on the same day as st.
Paul, in the persecution under Nero.
The title pope" was at one time
given to all bishops, II was first
adopted to Hyginus in is9 4. D.;
and in 6O6 Boniface III induced
Phocas, emperor Of the East, to con,
fine it to the prelates of Rome. A list
compiled from the registers Of the
Roman church gives names of 264

German Shells Provide Meals for the

When a certain great stone struc-

adjourn to the shore for the enter

schedules the shells run on, and time

ing them are SO far off that the re-
port cannot be heard. There is a
deep, bass, tearing roar, closely fol-
lowed by another, for they come in
pairs, and then two huge columns
of water hurtle into the air for a
hundred feet, accompanied by two
heavy detonations. The bleacher-oc-
