RAILROAD CIRCLINC Gulf
OF BOTHNIA IS Completed

Stockholm, Sweden, Jan. 6, Via Lon
don, 1922 A. M.-The railroad circling
the gulf of Bothnia, the northern ex-
tension of the Baltic Sea, was virtual
ly completed to-day. Up to the pres
ent time there has been a gap of ten
miles over which passengers from
Stockholm to Petrograd had to drive.
Now this distance has been reduced to
half a mile.
The Russian line now runs to point
opposite the Swedish station at Karun-
gi. Here passengers leave the train
and go half a mile over the river Tor
nea. This instead of the previous
journey between the town of Cornea
and Haparanda, distance of ten
miles.
The new arrangement is working
very we'll indeed. Between 500 and
500 passengers made the trip daily, the
uncertainties of steamship to travel be.
tween the Swedish coast and Russian
ports near Petrograd having of course,
influenced many travellers to select the
land route. Heavy freight also is be-
ing moved over land with little delay.

"Brotherly Love" in Islam!

Aside from their political differences,
the enmity between the Arab and the
Turk is rroverbial; racial, deep rooted
enmity, which the New Regime, instead
of overcoming or at least tempering, has
brought successfully to a head. And
still the effendi of Constantinople re-
fers to the son of the desert as "that
dog of an Arab" and still the desert
Arab, who will rhyme even on his way
to Juhannam, pours out his hatred and
contempt in couplets like this:
"Three things naugh but evil work
The locust, the vermin, and the
Turks
There is such a thing as
the fatality of hate, which seems to be
a part of the Cosmic scheme. Indeed,
some people are born to hate each other,
and the sooner they know it the better.
The Young Turk, for instance, when he
can neither knife nor poison nor despoil
an Arab aspiring to power, will invite
him to Stamboul and make him a
pasha, that is a Sublime-P Porte instru-
ment of murder and plumber. That is
why the Arab chiefs as well as the lead
ers Of thought in Syria and Egypt, have
always resisted these baleful seductions.

one of the leading amateur athletic or
ganizations of the country from the
Amateur Athletic Union, there was
said to be feeling on the part of many
members of the club that the differ
ences between the Halpin committee
and the registration committee would
be amicable settled.
Chairman Halpin S declaration fol-
lowed the announcement last night that
the registration committee of the Met
ropolitan Association had suspended
SIX New York athletic club swimmers,
who had entered swimming races of the
Sportsmen IS show in Madison Square
Garden and failed to compete. The
swimmers did not compete and with
drew their entries, according to officers
of the club, because of rule adopted
by the Board of Governors two wears
ago forbidding its members 30 enter
contests conducted by professionals
for monetary purposes. Jacob w.
Stumpff, chairman of the registration
committee, said that the withdrawal
OF the swimmers was received too late
to permit the committee to accept them.

REPORTS 43 German SPIES
Arrested AMONG TROOPS

New York, Jan. 6.-Charles Walter,
an attorney of Toronto, Canada, an
nounced to-day upon returning to New
York from England aboard the steam
ship Minnehaha, that forty German
spies had been arrested among the
Canadian contingent of troops which
sailed to England last fall.
Mr.. Walter said that he had been
largely instrumental in identifying the
prisoners and in causing their arrests.
All the men, he said, had enlisted as
Canadian soldiers. One of the forty
three, according to Walter was killed
by the members of the company in
which he had enlisted when the charge
was made that he was a German spy.
The troopers set upon this man and
killed him before officers could prevent
it, Walter asserted.
The other forty-two alleged spies, ac-
cording to Walter, had been locked up.
What was done with them afterwards
Walter said he did not know.

Keeping a Farm Record.

Before farmer can determine, with an
certainty, whether or not his farm is paying
it is necessary for him TO understand the
financial side of the business. An accurate
account should be kept of the expense of
operating the farm, and the receipts there
from.
Very often when large farm is being
operated small rate of interest per acre,
will afford the owner good living and give
a prosperous appearance to the place. But
that is not proof that it is actually paying a
profit upon the amount invested. In order
to have fair knowledge of this matter, it
is necessary to establish AMI keep farm
record. Probably the best way to keep a
farm record is to procure good ledger and
start it about the first of April carry it until
the first of the next April. The reason for
starting at this time is that about this time
the last years supply is exhausted and new
supply begins to come into view. The first
thing to determine is the value of all the
one set of farm implements, the value of all
buildings, live stock, implements, amount
of feed and amount of cash on hand at the
beginning. Thes. things should be sum-
med up in the way of an inventory at the
beginning of the farm year and throughout
the year on account of everything that is
sold off the farm should be put on record
and likewise everything that is, purchased.
In one column of the ledger, keep the en-
tire farm capital, including land, buildings
and everything on hand. In another coll
umn, keep all expenses for running the farm
such as provisions. improvements, labor,
etc., also charge to this column the depre-
citation of buildings, equipments and work
horses. The depreciation will run some
thing like 20 per cent on implements, per
cent on buildings and 10 per cent on horses,
over six years old.

UNCLE SAM LOOKING
FOR MORE EMPLOYEES
Many Good Jobs For Spcial-
lists, But These Are Seldom
In Need Of Them

One good thing about job in the
Civil Service department of the
United States, is that the holder there.
of, holds his job as long as the work is
done satisfactorily, and the other good
thing is that the pay is regular, regard
less of poor business or hard times.
Examinations are held every month
at Seattle, and a poster on the bulletin
board at the local postoffice announces
several within the next few weeks.
Interested parties may send to the post.
office here for blanks and additional
information.
For instance, here is a fine $4,000
job waiting for some one. This amount
is what the government is willing to
pay for a man who can satisfy the
Civil Service examiners that he could
fill the job of special agent as a Latin
American trade expert.
A nice little income is awaiting the
man who can qualify as specialist in
insects, to the extent of $4,000 year.
The man without special training is up
against it when it comes to a fancy
salary, as the government is only will
ing to pay $50 year for a sawyer
and mechanic, which seems to indicate
that it pays to be a specialist
Cotton classers are offered 5000 a
year, while an oil gauger pulls down
$1,000 yearly, with sure chance of
holding the jobs regardless of weather
or local business conditions.
A pulp and paper engineer for the
forest service stands high with the
government as the offer for the right
man who can pass by the Civil Service
examiners, is a salary of $4,000 year.
Those ambitious of entering the gov
ernment service, might watch the bull
letin board at the Salem post office
and finally discover one in which they
might take chance at it before the
civil service examiners.
