CRAFTS AN ENGLISH WALNUT
Industry Is Revolutionized by the Dis
covery of an Arizona
Naturalist.

Tucson, Ariz.-The walnut industry
of Arizona is being revolutionized by
the discovery of G. r. Biederman, a
naturalist, that the English walnut can
be grated on the native Arizona tree
and made to bear the new fruit the
following year.
Not only is the fruit richer and of
more commercial value, but the char
acter of the grated trees is changed
so that they are preferable to other
kinds for the purpose of Identification.
The state commissioner of highways
of Missouri, having learned of the pos
sibilities of the tree, has planned to
get Arizona plants to place along pub
lie highways of Missouri.

Chocolate Soldiers.

The soldiers weakness for sweet
meats, to which Mr.. Bernard Shaw
called attention when he wrote THE
Chocolate Soldier" has been abund-
antly confirmed during the present
war. The quantity of sweets con-
sumed by our army in France has
been prodigious, while from Cairo
comes the news that the Australians
have absolutely eaten the place out
of chocolate. On the troopsh1ps
which brought them, too, it was the
same. Thus Capt. Bean, the official
correspondent with the force. writes:
"Our canteen had five times the de-
mand for sweets and soft drinks that
was expected and one-ffth the demand

Britons have the sweetest tooth, and
Americans come next, if the statis-
tics for consumption Of sugar mean
anything. An Englishman eats annu-

sumes 1872 pounds. In Denmark the
average consumption is 1875 pounds
per capita; in Switzerland it is DO
pounds; in Germany, Holland, Swed-

STA, 1913; in Portugal, 1874; in Spain
and Turkey, II; in Italy, Bulgaria,
Roumania and Serbia, from 6 to z

The principal reason for these varia-

or lowness of the customs duties on
sugar and on the things with which 1t

If one will look carefully around and
see how many valuable properties are
practically unimproved, although capa :
BILE of earning a good revenue. he will
be astonished to see how many wealthy
people, able. without any inconvenience
to themselves. to improve their prop

sands of dollars in rental income to
slip through their fingers, says Charles
S. Ashley of Toledo in the National
Real Estate Journal. Some of these
owners are considered to be of exceed
ingly grasping disposition in ordinary
affairs and yet they have lost fair
sized fortunes by the lack of fntelll-
gent development of their property.
In many other cases owners seem to
have a passio. for shabbiness, and even
though wealthy they put up exceeding
ly cheap and shabby improvements and
take a very low rent rather than to
erect buildings worthy of the location
which would yield them several times
the income-certainly an enormous per
centage upon the additional expense
required.
In other cases neighboring parcels OF

lay asleep at his home early last
Tuesday morning. The child was COW
cred with blood when found by his

The rat awakened the boy from a
sound sleep about o'clock, and when
the lad jumped from his bed in pain,
the rat scampered away.
Mrs. Alexander. hearing the boys
cries, thought he was dreaming and
told him TO be quiet but when the
child said he was bleeding Mr. Alex
ander rushed into the room. The
child was sitting up In bed with blood
issuing from his neck. An investiga-
tion showed that the rat had bitten
the child's left ear in six places, and
alongside the iugular vein we're four
additional bites. all of which were
bleeding freely. A physician at once
dressed the child's wounds.

to move with them, so she did not
move. Her sentiments we're with the

them to stir her TO action, even in
that direction. The nationalists strove
