Production of graphite on the island
Of Madagascar in 1917 was estimat II:
at $4,000 tons, and exports amounted
to 27,S3S. Shipments to England to-
tailed 1896. and those to France 1892
tons. While direct shipments to the
United States have not been permit
ted, it is understood from consular re-
ports that 5000 tons reached this
country from Marseilles in 1917, and
considerable quantity has also been
shipped from that port during the
present year, principally through a
consortium Of French firms which, up
until now, has controlled the bulk Of
the output Of Madagascar graphite
other than that shipped to England
Inasmuch as the French firms belong
Ing to this cOnsortium are represented
In Madagascar, it is not unlikely that
they, will endeavor to control such
graphite as may be shipped to the
United States direct from the island
when restrictions are removed, while
It would appear that various indie
pendent producers are endeavoring to
torn, direct connections with the
American importers.

NO GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter Of Proper Amount Of Bodily
Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
erection of Individual.

1T is an axiom that mental excel.
lence is to very considerable extent
dependent upon a mans physical con.
dition," declared Secretary of State
Robert Lansing. 1T is equally true
that rules Of health, except the most
general, depend in large measure up
on the individual and upon his peculiar
needs.
IF I were asked to lay down rules
which might be applied generally" con.
tinued the American premier, II
would embody them in the phrase
More fresh air and less food How
much bodily exercise should be taken
and its character depend upon the
individual, his physical condition and,
to an extent, on his tastes. OF course,
exercise is, as rule, beneficial, but
1t ought to be pleasure to the one
taking it If he would get the best re.
suits.
1T may sound like heresy, but
sometimes wonder whether exercise,
when it is not diversion, Is really
worth while. Certainly the mind is
not rested If it rebels against certain
forms of physical training which are
being taken, and recreation for the
mind Of one engaged In intellectual
pursuits is, in my opinion. one Of the
most essential purposes Of exercise Of
the muscles.
Il believe, however, as have said,
that fresh air is one Of the great re-
storatives, and the fact that exercise
is generally taken in the open is one
Of its chief benefits. From "Secre-
tary Lansing's Story of His Health
and Energy" by Richard M. Winans

KILL OFF PREDATORY BEASTS
Kidding Ranges Of Ravaging Rogues
Results in Saving More Than
100000 Worth Of Stock.

1t is estimated that the bureau of
biological survey Of the United States
department of agriculture is saving
annually over $5,00O,00O worth Of live
stock for the ranchers Of the Rocky
mountain section as result Of it's in
tensive campaign against predatory an
finals, which has been in progress dur
ing the past three years. During this
period 6O,458 coyotes, 8,0S5 bobcats.
1929 wolves, POI mountain lions, and
1877 bears have been trapped or shot,
and many other animals have been
poisoned. The income from the sale Of
pelts of animals killed by government
hunters to protect live stock during the
last year will aggregate approximately
100000. This work Is Of special i'm
portance, because the cattle and sheep
which are already on the range produc-
ing meat, wool, and leather are afford
ed protection, and thus the actual
sources of these essential commodities
are being conserved for market. Fur
thermore, clearing the range Of preda-
tory animals Is making conditions more
favorable for stocking the grazing
areas to full capacity and for improv-
ing the quality Of the breeding stock.

Month Of Harvest Moon.

Aside from the autumnal equinox,
Sep ember each year is marked by an.
other astronomical event of cOnsidera-
BILE interest, namely, the so-called har-
vest moon, it being the full moon near
est the autumnal equinox. The harv-
est moon rises at nearly the same time
for several successive evenings in
stead of nearly an hour later from
night to night, as is usually the case,
and it Is from this continuous run of
bright moonlight nights that this
moon is said to derive it's name, farm
ers as rule taking advantage Of the
extra light to gather in their late sum-
mer crops and store them away for
the winter.

UNITED THOUGH FAR APART
Ceremony Known as "Handsehoen''
Recognized Under the Dutch Law
as Legal Form Of Marriage.

Not so very long ago Boer in Pre-
toria was married to girl in Amstcr-
dam, Holland, the ceremony CONSTITUTE
ing what the Dutch call handschoen,
or glove marriage.
In spite Of the fact that distance
Of 5000 miles lay between the bride
in the Netherlands and the bridegroom
in the Transvaal they were just as eff
fectively married under the Dutch law
as if both had been present in the
same church.
The bridegroom sent to his friend,
or best man. in Amsterdam a power
Of attorney to represent him as his
proxy at the ceremony, and at the
same time forwarded his glove, which
at the proper moment, when the two
were made one, was held by both the
bride and the proxy. The wedding
was duly registered at Amsterdam
and at Pretoria, where the bridegroom
filed an affidavit with the proper mag
istrate.
This curious form of marriage is a
purely Dutch institution, the custom
having originated, it is said, in the
old times of Dutch-Batavian rule. 1t
is, however, a dead letter in the Trans
vaal since the English took over that
colony.

GEORGE N. YOUNG
MAKES ADDRESS

One of the most interesting and in
structive addresses heard from the
platform of the Normal school audi

Congressman Geo. NJ. Young Satur-
day. Congressman Young, it will be
remembered, was member of the
congressional committee that visited
the allied countries and the battle
fronts for two months last summer.

Mr.. Young OBJ d .-.-, address with
direct nit at AefnlaA propaganda,
which he said was rife in America
even now as much as at any time be-
fore or during the war. Stories, he
said, were current in all the allied
countries that one or the other of them
would surely seek to carry off all the
advantages in the peace conference,
with a view to stir up feeling of dis
satisfaction and unrest. The speaker
appealed to his countrymen that they
close their ears to such propaganda,
and gave assurance that the situation
warrants nothing but the greatest
optimism from all standpoints.
The speaker took his audience on
many interesting little side trips
through various parts of England and
France, and with statistics refuted
beyond doubt the oft-heard statement
that England was reserving her own
men at the exense of those of the al
lies and her colonies.
Speaking Of mistakes made in the
war, Mr.. Young said that all countries
had made them, America perhaps the
least. But the greatest blunders made
were those of Germany, herself. The
first Of these was the violation of
Belgium. Another was the Zeppelin
raids on England; the Zeppelins them
selves without any real military value
to Germany being instrumental in the
recruiting Of seven and half millions
of men. Only for the unrestricted
submarine campaign, America might
Ct have taken arms against Germany.
-, through blunders on the part of a
country that thought itself superior
in a military way to any other, Ger
many has come to grief.
Mr.. Young spoke of having visited
Lieut.. Col. Mudgett, Captain Richie
and the Co. G boys. He paid high
tribute to American valor and the
eagerness Of the Doughboys to get
into the thick of the fight, and related
many incidents in connection with
American units that helped turn the
tide of war.
The speaker left no room for doubt
as to the final outcome resulting after
the return of our soldiers to America,
and he gave reason for a feeling of
optimism, closing his address with an
appeal for the support of the United
War Work activities in the closing
hours of their campaign.
