Unusual Things at Home

All of us are wont to believe that we must go
abroad or to strange lands to find unusual and
strange things when in reality some of the most
interesting sights in the world are to be found in
the United States. Take for instance the sub
ject of farms. There isn't country in the world
that has us beat on queer farms.
At Pasadena, COL Edwin Cawston operates
the largest ostrich farm in the world. Joseph
Matlack of Moorestown, N. j., owns the largest
guinea pig farm in the world William Hagan
raises muskrats on farm along the Delaware
and his profits are $4,000 year.
At Victoria, in Mexico, is parrot ranch and
near Los Angeles can be found an immense
pigeon farm, while out at Hot Springs, Ark, H. j.
Campbell has an alligator farm that is greater
than any in Florida. In Texas they are breeding
buffaloes and crossing them with cattle and down
on the Isle of Hope, in Georgia, they are raising
terrapin.

LIZENDAUM FIRST ON
POLICE ROLL IN new JAIL

Hyman Lizenbaum. 26 years old, a
witness in a case called in City Court
this morning, was the first person ar
rested after the cells in the new
joint building were ready for occu-
pancy. Chief OF Police George Black
was the member OF the police force
to make the arrest.
Lizenbaum was ordered TO report
TO the court at $50 o'clock this morn
ing, but it was nearly an hour later
when he appeared. Judge Church
man demanded to know the reason
for his tardiness, and when no salts
factory explanation was forthcoming
he ordered his incarceration. Chief
Black stepped forward and led the
man away.
While Lizenbaum is PIONEERING over
the wisdom of giving strict heed 20
police and court orders hereafter, he
can solace himself with the thought
that he is the first person to occupy a
cell in Wilmington's new prison.
Lizenbaum was prosecuting witness
against Fred Yott, charged with TAX
ing a watch, valued at S25 from Lis
enbaum. Yott was arraigned but on
account of the hardness of Lisenburm
had his case continued until tomor.
row. He was placed under $500 bail.

While Optimism is the
Keynote, WarDepart-
ment Prepares for
Possible HOStilitieS
With Mexico.
By The United Press.

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON. Juy S.-"For the
moment" the United States govern
ment will not press Carranza to
answer its demands for statement
as to his attitude on Mexican-Ameri-
can relations. The State Depart
ment announced this today. saying
the situation is In statu quo. for the
present. especially in view of the re-
lief OF tension by Carranza's surren-
der OF the prisoners az chihuahua.
AT the same time Secretary OF
State Lansing declared there is no
change in policy regarding keeping
the American forces in Mexico, "as
far as ] know"
The fact that Lansing has made no
effort to extract an answer from Car
rama. since requesting Ambassador
Arredondo to speed the reply, was
interpreted as meaning that this gov
ernment has had secret assurances
that Carranza will adjust the situ-
alton n given time
Indications from the departments
statement we're that It will continue
to walt upon Carranza unless there
should be sinister developments be-
low the border. The department said
There might he several circum-
stances" under which statement Of
Carranza' attitude would become
most Immediately pressing"
II was Indicated, however. that Car
ranza's Immediate release of the prison
ers had 40 relieved the situation tina
the administration could afford to wal
until Carranza had had an opportunit
TO adjust matters at home without ~
iagonizing either Mexico or the Unite
/ States.
/ The War Department explained u

based on thoroughly good strategic re
