SOME AEROPLANES

Curtiss Aeroplane & Motor corpora ton has orders from the British gov ernment for $15, 100000 worth of aero planes, motors and parts.
 This order will in no way interfere with the turning out of aeroplanes and motors for the United States govern ment.
 The Curtiss plant has been inspected and approved by officials of the United States Army Board and the govern rnnnt has taken an option OF $33,- J00. .0G0 of the company's production for tne next nine moEths It is estimated that the company's plants can complete this amount of work ir that period while at the same time working on the British order.
 In anticipation of this order. which was tentatively assured to the Cur .iss company some time ago. the plants and organization have 5eer gotten ~eadt. Supplies have already been purchased, sub contracts let and ahead for some time The major part of the United States order is for training machines and motors which is the type the company has been turning out for the British govern ment Although the Curtiss company has beer working on and testing out fighting machines, to date their en- tire efforts have been directed to- ward supplying training machines which do not require as much speed as fighting machines, but require more safety.

HARLOW AKERS
 HAS b|G RO[E

Harlow Akers. a youthful dramatic student, who has on various occasions proven himself endowed with excep- IiOnal talent and histrionic power in the field of drama will add to the ar tistic interpretation of the beautiful military play The Red Cross Nurse 9 with his splendid physique and com manding voice, in the role of Captain Harvey Powell, a flashing young com mander of United States volunteers. Nature has done much for young Akers toward the necessary qualifications for q brilliant career as an actor, should he desire to take up the profession, and in the character of the young military officer with ambitions Mir Akers will have an opportunity for some eXcep- tionally clever work. That he will prove himself more than equal to the task has been already demonstrated at rehearsals. MT Akers has a quick con- ceptiOn of the delineatiOn of character and keen insight to stage technique with a remarkable grasp of dramatic possibilities, and the management is much pleased with the artistic finish which this young actor promises to give to his part in "The Red Cross Nurse" His friends may look for very pleas ant surprise through his work in the coming play to be presented at the Elks theater two nights next Tuesday and Wednesday, May 29 and 30

KAISERIN SELLS JEWELS

Apropos of jewels, the announcement that the German Empress is selling hers will probably create some excite ment among diamond merchants in the few remaining neutral countries. On state occasions at court the Kaiserin has often worn jeweled ornaments val ued at quarter of million sterling. Many are heirlooms of the Prussian crown, and can be worn only by a reigning queen.
 But apart from these possessions, the diamonds alone, which are the empress private property. are worth at least $500.000. Most of them were left to her by the Empress Augusta. At the grand ball attended by the em- press the court jeweler calculated that her train was beset with diamonds worth $30,O00, while her dancing shoes were valued at S2.500.
 Two at least of the Kaiserin's orna- ments are unlikely to be seen in the salesrooms The first is the diamond which was found in Napoleon's tri- angular hat. under tree, after the battle of Waterloo. This gem she wears set high in her coifure like d glittering star. The other is the in

Half Your Living
without Money Cost

A right or wrong start in 1917 will
make or break most farmers in tho
South. We are all facing q Crisis.
This war in Europe puts things IN
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree OF
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost Of all food and
grain products is high, SO high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted. rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. 1t will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres Of cotton you
ever grew!

In Scientific Agriculture That Country
Has Far OutcIassed the Rest
of the World.

Holland has done more than any
other nation, perhaps, in the way OF
increasing crops by scientific agrl-
culture," said DR.. H. O. Hayden, an
agricultural expert, who has spent
several years in the Dutch East In
dies at the Willard, according to the
Washington Post. ''This is observ-
able particularly in the Dutch pos
sessions of the East Indies, partlcu-
larlv in Java and Sumatra. A few
wears ago it was impossible to get
more than one crop Of tobacco in Su-
matra or Java. Now two and three
crops are raised every year. 1t IS
all due to advanced scientific meth
DDS of planting and cultivation.
"Ten. years ago tobacco was the
bic crop of Sumatra. About that
time experiments we're made with
rubber plants, and these proved a
success. Today there are 25O,OoO
acres of land producing rubber. New
land brought under cultivation, and
fields that had been presumably
worn out through long years Of to-
bacco culture were utilized for the
rubber production. Experiments re-
Gently we're started to improve tea

some localities showing an annual
production Of 1900 pounds to the

the returns are very great. Tea IS
not the only new crop in that part
Of the East Indies, however. Nut
bearing palms have been introduced
from Africa, and have proved a sue

known as palm oil is produced
