The strongest of European frontier
lines is that marking the boundary
between Hanover and Holland, where
IL crosses the Rhine. A row of pom
toons lies across the river, chained
bow and stern. Inasmuch as the di-
viding line runs through from stem to
stern, the eastern halves of the boats
are painted in German colors, the west
rrn in Dutch. The effect is most
striking.

Great Activity In
 Kansas Oil Fields

TOPEKA, Kansas, May 7.-The activity in the newly discovered oil fields of southeastern Kansas is unprecedented. a rush of enormous proportions on the part of oil pros pectors from all over the United States now being in progress. The owners of the land on which the oil was discovered are fully aware of the value of the product from their land, and accordingly lease prices are higher than were ever known before in any oil field.
 The greatest developments are taking place in Butler and Cowley counties Further, prospecting, how ever, is being done in adjacent counties, as it is thought that the oil belt may include of the counties in the southeastern part of the state.
 As result of the oil discoveries the price of land In the southeast ern counties has trebled.

 Are Investigated

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.-Anti- cipating a Canadian embargo on as bestos imports into the United States, the official mineralogist Of this state is causing an investigation of the asbestos deposits of the state to be made. It is a well known fact that asbestos exists, but here tofore it had been just as cheap to import it a. to mine it, as the United States government charged no duty for it's importation.
 Now, however, conditions are diff ferent For on account of the war, Canada threatens to use all of the asbestos that can be mined within her boundaries, which would mean no more imports of the material, as far as the United States is con cerned.
 Last year the asbestos imports of the United States amounted to $2, 50O,OO0

 town and are patroling the streets.
