London, Feb. 1.-The weakness In
New York is not surprising after
tho long period Of cxaltation in the
face of persistent liquidation from
Europe.
The fall in rubber stocks has upset

stock market is dispirited, except in
the section Of Japanese bonds, which
are being cancelled here and are a

Among home railways the Great

The British government will not re-

Of a neutral country. who, over IS
years of age. enlists Of his own free
will.
This decision was brought to light
through the efforts Of Attorney Tay-
lor Crum to secure the release of
Charles Raymond Ingle, IS, son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas NJ Ingle, Az
Ninth street north, who enlisted as
a member of the Canadian eXpedi-
tionary forces in Canada last sum-
mer, in a letter received from the
United States department of state.
Ingle was is years of age on July
%, enlisting before that date, giving
the name of c. r. Laurie He wrote
his parents that he was going to war,
but supposing that he had Joined the
United States army for service on the
Mexican border. they did not worry
until they received a postcard, post
marked in France.
The boy was in Fargo up to within
a few days of the time he enlisted
None Of his letters have indicated
Through Attorney Crum, they took
the matter up with the secretary oi
state. Robert Lansing.
Last word received from Ingle was
to the effect that he had been trans
ferred to the 92nd Scotch Highlanders
and was at that time encamped at
Kent. England.

Mr.. Cooper stated that at the pres
ent time he knows of only one place
in the United States where hemp is
produced, that being in central Ken
tuckv. where it has been quite an
extensive crop for some time. He said
that the crop was produced i'll
Virginia later in Lancaster county
Pennsylvania. then in Ohio, then Wis
consin, and later in Minnesota. and
that after a few years the operations
were discontinued.
He is ofthe belief that hemp fiber
will have to reach a very high price
before the crop will become general
in this country. though he stated that
| he did not know what the market
price of the product was at this time.
The International Harvester Co.,
leXperiment station at Grand Forks has
| been producing hemp with success,
another demonstration that it can be
grown in this state" said Mr.. Coop
er, "and Mr.. Gronna must have had
the work at the station in mind when
| he made the Washington statement"
Not Hard on Soil.
When asked how the crop affected
! the soil Mr.. Cooper stated that it was
not especially detrimental to soil
vitality, but that it took rich soil to
raise successfully. He said that II
grew best in the humid climates. and
called attention to the fact that the
taller it grows the better it is. as it is
the length of fiber between the joints
that determines it's quality. To make
good crop it should have a growing
season of four and one-half months.
The seed used in this country is
brought from China and planted in
Virginia, where 1t Is acclimated, and
seed can only be produced in the
warmer, more humid climates. Seed
cannot be produced in this part of the
country" Mr.. Cooper said.
