Nearly Half a Billion Binder Irvine Used
Every Year

The size of the world may be guessed
at, according to Farm and Fireside, by
the fact that it takes nearly half bill
lion pounds of binder Irvine or to be
exact, 4O0000000 pounds to meet its
needs each year. An enthusiast for fg.
ures could spend an interesting hour i'll
figuring out how many times this Irvine
would reach around the world.
"Of this immense amount more than
so per cent is made Of henequen. This
fiber, which is so frequently miscallel
sisal, is secured from the leaves of the
henequen plant. Henequen grows in Iu-
catan and Cuba but the first named
country produces most of the supply
Henequen grows in many of the tropical
but more than nine tenths Of
it comes from Yucatan. The limestone
soil and the hot, dry climate there are
favorable to its growth"

SOME HINTS
TO ANGLERS
In the Selection of Tempting
MorSeIs to Lure Members
of the Finny Tribe.

Natural bats are those which most
anglers are accustomed TO using.
Such bats include worms, frogs,
mlnnOws. grasshoppcrs. grubs, salt
pork. CriCketE and many kinds of real
fish foods. says the New York AmerI-
can.
The most common OF all bats Ia the
angle-wOrm. and it IL used more than
any other because 1t can be secured
80 easily. This bait can be used for
all kinds Of fish. and Ia accepted ny
large and small alike, no matter
whether surface or bottom f"n lcrE.
The worms may be used just az
they are taken from the ground, and
they are generally used In that con-
dillon. But If they are dug week
before. washed and fed with few
bread crumbs. soaked in milk. they
become toughcncd and make the best
bait.
1t is Il common saying that the biz
worm will catch the big fish. There
this, but Il worm that Is just the right
size TO cover the hook when properly
impaled without crowding is the right
bait.
The grnsshopper is another good
bait. especially for surface-fecdinf
fish. Perhaps no other bait viii
cause lazy old trout TO rise so
quickly from the depths as will 4
lively grasshopper.
For black bass and other large fish.
the minnow is the favorite bait. BY
mlnnOw is meant small fish. for
small fish are Invariably called min
nows by anglers, regardless of their
species.
Small frogs make good bait for all
game fish. and may be used with
single hook by inserting through the
lips, like batting with n minnOW. The
dobson. or helgramite is excellent rs
bait for many kinds of fish.
Crawtish are common as bait used
for still fishing. They are best at
the time they have shed their shell.
and in this condition may be hooked
through the body. AT other times they
should be hooked through the tall.
Bass are fond of crawflsh. A bait that
is quite favorite for bass Is strip
of fat saItpork cut in the shape oftl1e=
letter 'V." with the hook through
the small end.

.CORSETS WORN
CENTURIES AGO
Cretans Had Bathrooms That
Moderns Might Well Envy,
SAYS a Speaker.

PHILADELPHIA, March 11.-They
wore then 1000 years ago.
That's fact. and you needn't think
that they are modern institution.
General belief credits them to some
beauty of the court of one of the nu-
merous kings named Louis. hut such

They have been discovered on the
island of Crete. buried beneath tons of
ancient dust.
What are they? Why. corsets.
And what's more. the recent hair
dressers' fashion show had nothing on
the women of Crete. They were fond
of elaborate c0itfures. too. And while

running water. beautiful frescoes and
other luxurious appointments. Also

Inasmuch rs this narrative is not
intended to hold up feminine foihles
exclusively. ii has been learned that
the men of Crete were vain of their
general contours. also. and wore waist
cloths to support their bodies.
All this information. and more, was

Erzerum.

Erzerum, which has suddenly sprung
into the notice and interest of the
world during the progress of the pres
ent Russian campaign in the East, says
the Manchester Guardian, has been
identified with the Byzantine Theodosi-
opolis, which was a fortified outpost of
the Grecian empire. 1t fell to the Sell
juks in the year 1901, and just three
centuries later passed to the Turks. 1t
had already on two occasions been in
possession of the Russians-in 1929,
when it was captured and held until
the peace of Adrianople of that year,
and in 1878, when it was restored to
the Turks after the treaty of Berlin.
The normal population of Erzerum
amounts to about $4,000, ten or
twelve thousand of whom are
Armenians and 1000 Persians. Its
public buildings, with the possible
exception of one, which dates back
to the beginning of the Seljuk
period, are of no particular distinction
AS in most towns in Turkey, the
streets are narrow, crooked, dirty and
badly drained, and there are few trees
in the neighborhood.

Ia, Conselheiro Antonio Prado, to
whom both state and city owe much.
The present prefeito, DR.. Washington
Luiz, is a fine representative son of
Sac Paulo, energetic, farseeing, capa-
BILE; he has done more than any other
head of the city to purify it morally
and physically, and while laying stress
upon strict economy he has not hest
tated to go ahead with certain civic
the grace of the city.
Rapid Growth of Business.
The greatest source of revenue of
Sac Paulo city is that obtained by the
taxes levied upon industries and pro-
fessions." The greatest yield in this
long list is that from factories, and
the growth of income is significant of
the quick development of Sac Paulo
as a business center. In the year 1907
the taxes upon industries and profess
sions yielded less than 1000 contos of
reis, while In 1911 they brought In q
600 contos, or nearly half of the total
city income. In 1913 the amount yield
ed had risen to over 5000 contos of
reis; in 1915 to 3,447 contos, out of a
total revenue of about 1861 contos.
1t may be calculated that this tax al
ways brings In over 40 per cent Of the
city income.
Examining this list of contributing
industries, professions and commerce
one finds that banks and banking
agencies pay together some $4,000 9
year; shoe factories contribute $1,000
and shoe stores rather less; ironworks
pay nearly $1,000; furniture factories
and sellers bring in another $4,000
goldsmiths and jewel workers about
the same amount; match factories pay
over $4,000; druggists about $4,000
sawmills, $4,000; cotton factories
nearly $1,000; jute factories, $4,000
and potteries another $1,000.
