CUBA is BEST SHOE MARKET
Offers Greatest Possibilities of Any
Country in World FOR American
Manufacturers, 1t Is Said.

Cuba is at present the best market
in the world for American footwear,
says a report on the subject just pub
Iished by Uncle Sans bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce. AL
though the climate is tropical, very
few even of the poorest natives go
without footwear of some kind, and
the per capita consumption Of shoes
is therefore very heavy. Over so per
cent Of the business is done by Amer
lean firms, as there is no competition
from local manufacturers and not any
of great Importance from Europe.
In spite of Americas strong position
in the market, however, the author of
the report, Special Agent Herman G..
Brock, asserts that there are many
ways in which our hold on the market
can be strengthened, as there are a
number of features in the Cuban trade
not well understood by the American
manufacturer.

PAT FOUND WAY TO KEEP IT
Resorted to Simple Device to Keep
Companion From Spending His
Own Money.

A Scotchman and an Irishman once
set out together on holiday. The lat
ter was a steady frugal man, the for
mer was careless and a spendthrift.
Conscious of his own weakness,
Sandy entrusted all his naoney to his
friends charge, with a strict injunc-
ton not to give him back more than
stated sum for expenses each day.
After a few days Sandy thought his
daily allowance inadequate for his de-
mands and pleaded for an increase,
but in vain.
Holidays over, the Scotchman in
formed Pat that, after the latter's re-
fusal to comply with his wish, he got
out of bed every night, when he found
the Irishman asleep, and made an ex-
tensive search to find the cash, but
could never succeed, and inquired Of
him where he kept it.
"Well," said Pat, ST allowed you to
go to bed first every night, and as we
occupied the same room, had no diff
ficulty in putting my purse, unob-
served, into one of your pockets. l was
first up every morning and took pos
session of it again."

Generally speaking, says a writer in
the Wide World Magazine, a Soudan-
ese is content with one wife, but the
marriage laws vary considerably among
different tribes, though all have much
in common. A man buys his wife, or
rather gives the value agreed upon
cash in prosperous towns like Omdur-
man, and cattle and grain in the coun-
try. Half of the amount is usually hand
ed over to the brides people before
marriage, and is spent on wedding fes-
tivities; the remainder is paid by in
stallments. You get your wife, in short,
on the hire-purchase system; the mot
to of Soudanese fathers-in-law, where
eligible daughters are concerned, is evil
IDENTIFY weekly payments taken" The
price of wife varies considerably. In
Omdurman, where the natives are we'll
to-do, wife costs from S75 to $3.50, or
even more. There is no restriction up
on the number Of wives a man may
have; a wife is regarded as so much
personal property, and valued accord
ingly.

Lessons Learned in sIeen.

Lessons have been learned and diff
cult problems solved while in sound
slumber.
A young girl, through the death Of
her father, was told that she must
leave school unless she passed an ex-
animation which would entitled her to
a scholarship. She studied assiduous-
ly, and on one occasion carried her
school books to her bedroom, intending
to rise early the next day for the pur-
pose of study. In the morning, on
looking over her lessons. she was sur
prised to find that she already knew
them. This happened for several sue
ceeding days, when she mentioned the
circumstances to her mother, who de-
termined to watch her. This she did,
and observed the girl get up as soon
as it was light, apply herself to her
lessons, and then return to bed. When
awake she had no idea of what she
had done.

HoME-PLANNlNG IN COUNTRY
Sketched and Studied Before Any
Buildings Are Erected.

Put the house, if possible, on an emil
with a gentle slope away from the
front. Don't build too near the road,
nor yet too far back-150 to 250 feet
will generally be about right.
Don't, don't ever put the barn and
lot buildings in front of the house.
The only logical place for these is in
the rear and hidden, if practicable,
by trees, vines and shrubbery.
Before building, give study and
time to planning the whole farm lay
out, Progressive Farmer advises.
Doing this may save many later re-
grets. Take paper and pencil, and,
with the aid of the family, sketch the
grounds as they should be when the
building and planting scheme is COM
pleted. 1t may and probably will be
years before all details of building
and planting are completed, but then
there will be harmonious, pleasing
whole. Aim at an ideal and come as
near reaching it as possible.
As never before, convenience and
simple dignity are the aims of house
building. A compact, well-arranged
plan saves steps for the housewife and
likewise building materials.
Put in plumbing and wiring as the
house is built. Every live, hustling
farmer these days should aim at moth
ing less than waterworks, a sewage
disposal system and electric lights, or
at least an acetylene lighting system.
Make the farm home fit its surround
Ings; the country is no place for osten-
tatious show Multitudes of gables,
bay windows and vivid-tinted paints
jar especially in country houses, be-
cause they give an air of artfficiality
among natures harmonies of coloring.
Have an open grass lawn. How
ever well designed and built a house
may be, if it has no green lawn in
front it is incomplete. Make the lawn
open and free from shrubs or flowers
except at the borders.
Frame the whole picture with flow
| ering shrubs and trees. Directly in
| front of and near the house is no place
for trees, however beautiful they may
be; rather place them at the side and
toward the back, bordering them with
Towering shrubs like the Grape myrtle
and these, in turn, with banks Of the
easily grown Towering ANIMALS like
zinnias and saliva.
Put vines, preferably a hardy ever
green like the English ivy, over un
slightly fences, stumps and walls.
Make stately, cool avenues of tht
hot, dusty lanes by bordering then
with pecan trees.

Dishes From the Indians.

The early American colonists adopt
ed certain dishes from the Indians,
among them samp, which is coming
into popularity once again today. Roger
Williams is credited with having de-
scribed this as Indian corn beaten and
bolted and eaten hot or cold with milk
or butter" "Hominy" was the term
applied to maize boiled with alkali,
which removed the outer skin of the
grain, leaving the inner part soft and
good to eat. "Hoe cake" popular with
the negroes of the South, is said to
have been adopted from the Indians
who once inhabited that section of the
United States.

CHAPTER v.
The Specialist.


Though the matter of calling in an
expert doctor of finance to diagnose
the alarming symptoms in Timanyoni
ditch had been left indeterminate in the
talk between Colonel Baldwin and him
self, Williams did not let it go entirely
by default. On the day following the
Brewster office conference the engineer
sent for Smith, who was checking the
output of the crushers at the quarry,
and little later the ''betterment' man
presented himself at the door Of the
corrugated-iron shack which served as
q field office for the chief.
Williams looked the cost-cutter over
as he stood in the doorway. Smith was
thriving and expanding handsomely in
the new environment. He had let his
beard grow and it was now long enough
to be trimmed to a point. The travel
broken clothes had been exchanged for
working khaki, with lace-boots and leg
gings, and the campaign hat of the en-
gineers. Though he had been less than
a month on the job, he was already be-
ginning to tan and tougher under the
u0dlluy OuIuOOT WOEh- IOu5ASu, do
well, his late fellow members of the
Lawrenceville COtillon club might have
said, since he had fought three pitched
battles with as many of the camp bull
lies, and had in each of them proved
himself q man of his hands who could
not only take punishment, but could
hammer an opponent swiftly and neat
ly into any desired state of subjection.
"Come in here and sit down; want
to talk to you," was the way Williams
began it; and after Smith had found
chair the chief went on: "Say, Smith,
you're too good man for anything I've
got for you here. Haven't you realized
that?
Smith pulled a memorandum book
from his hip pocket and ran his eye
over the private record he had been
keeping.
"Fve shown you how to effect few
little savings which total up something
like 10 per cent of your cost of produc-
ton and operation" he said. "Don't
you think I'm earning my ~wages?"
"That's all right; I've been keeping
tab, too, and 1 know what you're do
ing. But you are not beginning to earn
what you ought to, either for yourself

Strontium Ore Produced.

For the first time in many years
strontium ore has been marketed from
deposits in the United States, accord
ing to J. M. Hill of the United States
geological survey, department of the
interior. Most Of the ore marketed in
1916 was produced in Arizona and
California. The ore mined in the state
of Washington was not marketed. The
domestic output was equal to about
10 per cent of the ordinary demand,
which amounts to 1900 tons. The
British embargo on strontium salts
need cause little disquiet among Amer
ican users, it is declared, for abundant
ore is no doubt available in this coun-
try, and American chemists have
shown that they can proftably make
the salts needed here.

First to Adopt conscription.

Switzerland was the first European
country to adopt universal military
service. The original founders of the
Swiss confederation enacted that who
ever shirked military training was de-
clared ''devoid of honor and perjured," :"
and his house was vowed to destruc-
ton.
Should a man summoned to take
part in a military expedition prove un-
able to respond, owing to illness or
some other valid reason, he had to fur
nish a capable substitute at his own
expense.
From the earliest days of the confed-
GRAFTON, too, the military authorities
made special provisions for tending
the wounded.

a City of Distances.

Mesa, Ariz, streets are so feet wide
and every block comprises ten acres.
A residence building site there aver
ages about an acre. When you ask
an address in Mesa and the obliging
inhabitant directs you to walk six
blocks, it doesn't sound far, but you
realize the distance before you arrive,
SAYS the Ell Paso Herald. Mesa was
laid out by MormOns who favored un-
usually wide streets for attractiveness
and who made the ten-acre blocks in
order that every family might be more
or less self-sustaining in time of In
dian raids when the family garden
might be the only source of food.

stations to be on the lookout for the
modern Gabriel" and not accept him

For Home Consumption.

Backyard farms should be conducted
solely for the purpose of supplying
vegetables for home consumption.
There should be no thought given to
selling to your neighbors; plan the

nifty to produce vegetables, and if he
has not availed himself of his oppor-
tunity, the loss is his.-A. T. Hastings,
