JACKIE STUCK TO HIS POST
Fireman on Watch In Engine Room Of
Torpedoed Ship Commended for
Devotion to Duty.

When the United States ship. Alcedo
vas torpedoed last November in the
war zone George A. Collier, a second
class fireman Of the navy, was on
watch in the engine room under in
structions as machiuist's mate. He
was just at that time taking up duties
that would mean, If successfully ham
died, bringing him up another step in
the service. The kind Of stuff he is
made Of was shown when just as soon
as the torpedo struck and was fol-
lowed by an explosion he remained
cool and knew exactly what to do.
Despite the fact that he was stand
Ing In water up to his knees, the sea
having rushed in through the rent torn
by the torpedo, he stopped the main
engine and then deliberately raised the
safety valve on the main engine by the
hand gear.
Thus, without regard to his own per-
sonal safety, and when in the greatest
danger Of going down with the ship, he
stuck to his post and performed his
duties. He has been commended for
this devotion to duty In a letter writ
ten by the secretary Of the navy. Fire
man Collier is a son Of w. T. Collier
OF Morringsport, La.

Sugar Acreage In india.

British India's sugar cane acreage
Is from 9 to 10 per cent larger, accord.
ing to the second official crop estimate
for 1918. This forecast Is based on
reports furnished by provinces that
contain 90 per cent Of the sugar area
Of India, and these reports indicate an
acreage for the crop Of 2,565, 600. as
against an estimated 2,34O.0OO acres at
the corresponding date year ago. an
increase Of 10 per cent. AS compared
with the final estimate (2,414,OO0
acres) for 1918-17, the present estimate
shows an increase of per cent.
The Indian Trade Journal states
that, while the crop was affected to
certain extent by heavy rain and floods
in low-lying areas in parts of the Unit
ed Provinces, the Punjab and Bengal,
and by disease and insect pests in
some of the eastern districts of the
United Provinces, the prospects of the
crop, on the whole, are good.

HOPE RUssIA's ART is SAFE
Outside World Anxious for Preserva.
tion Of Masterpieces Held In the
Chaotic Capital. ,

Chaos has now apparently descended
upon the Russian capital, and the out
side world can only hope that someone
in that unhappy center of revolution
and discord has seen to it that the
hundreds Of masterpieces in the ma
tional collection shall be placed in
comparatively safe hiding place until
the storms of war are over, says the
Boston Transcript.
A brief summary of the facts given
In the preface to the three volume
French catalogue of the Hermitage
(Petrograd's great art gallery will
suffice to convey some idea Of the won.
derful riches of this collection. AT
the time that this catalogue was pub.
lished the gallery contained 1,644 paint.
ings, Of which 331 belonged to the Ital.
ian school. lit to the Spanish school,
$40 to the Germanic schools (Flemish,
Dutch and German), eight to the Eng.
lish school, 172 to the French school
and 81 to the Russian school.
These 1874 pictures were selected
from a total Of more than 1900 pic.
lures acquired since the time Of Cath
crime II. Those of the 1900 which
were not given place in the Petro-
grad galleries were hung in the winter
palace and in the other royal resi-.
dences of Tsarkoe Selo, Peterhof and
Gatchina, and In the museum Of Mos.

Fighting In the Air.

strikingly graphic is the account Of
fight In the air, told in Newfound.
lander's letter home.
"Soon after We crossed the lines,
which we did at $1,000 (nearly three
miles high). 1 began to have difficulty
In keeping up with the formation. As
result Archie picked me out and he
certainly made 1t hot. However, l kept
along bit behind the rest, and was
just dropping my bombs over the OBJ
Jective when seven Huns dived down
on us. In the scrap that followed l
lost all trace Of the rest Of the forma.
ton, so knew my only chance lay In
flying west as fast as / could. Just as
l was getting well under way, a Hun
came Mt us. 1t was exciting. We
twisted and turned, dlved and climbed,
each trying to get the other. Finally
he left u.s."

TRACTORS USE IN SCOTLAND
American Machine 10 Popular Among
Larger Farmers-Demand 10 In
Excess Of Supply.

The use of tractors In Scotland for
farming purposes has increased re-
markably during the past two years,
and the present demand is far in ex-
cess Of the supply, writes Vice Consul
e. R. Pottle, Dundee. The very high
prices and costly upkeep Of farm
horses, added to the heavier expenses
for labor, have compelled the larger
farmers to be on the lookout for the
best type Of utility tractor.
The necessary points seem to be:
Sufficient power with reserve;
strength and simplicity of construc-
tion; ability to run on common paraftin
with economical consumption; capa-
bile Of being operated by one
man; toughness and durability of
parts; easy adjustment; and abil-
ity to pull harrows, rollers, cultiva-
tors, ETC., over broken ground.
A local farmers association has
stated that it would be difficult for
any other class of farmers than those
cultivating more than 100 acres to
make use economically of tractors, un-
less the smaller farmers can combine
to use one tractor among several Of
them.
There is no doubt that tractors have
come to stay, and-it is only a question
of short time until hiring system
will be found which will work con-
veniently and economically in much
the same way as in thrashing. Sew
eral American tractors already are on
the Scottish market, in limited num-
bers on account of import restrictions,
but experience has given the Scottish
farmer great confidence in any Ameri-
doubtless there will be great demand
for American tractors after the war.

JAPAN ISSUES NEW CURRENCY
Fractional Amounts In Paper Money,
Relieving Z Great Need, Now
In Circulation.


Two recent steps taken by the Jap
anese government illustrate the diff
culties attendant upon the use of sub
sidiary coin whose metal value is COM
paratively close to its mint value,
states Commerce Reports. Announce
ment was made recently that paper
fractional currency would be issued to
the amount of 3O.OOOO0O yen ($14.94O,.
OOO). Early In November a portion of
this issue was put in circulation. The
new notes are exchangeable for regular
bank notes and are legal tender up to
ten yen ($4.9S).
More recently the Japanese govern
ment has announced three prizes of
1000 yen, 500 yen and 800 yen for the
best designs submitted for new silver
50-sen piece GAO cents). The new coin
is to be materially smaller than the
one now in circulation.
The present 5O-sen piece is 80 per
cent pure and weighs 81 momme
(O3255 ounce troy). The coin, there
fore, contains O.26O4 ounce of pure sill
yer and O.O651 ounce of copper. At par
the money value of the coin is 24.925
cents. This corresponds to 95.7 cents
per ounce troy if the value of the cop
per is disregarded.
For considerable period the excess
of the bullion value over the mint
value made it profitable to melt JAP
anese subsidiary coin or ship it to
China. The country, as consequence
became denuded of small change, and
1t was and is extremely difficult to get
money changed except through money
changers at comparatively high rates.
1t was no unusual thing to pay ten sen,
or even more, to change five-yen
note; and in that case the buyer would
receive four one-yen notes and only
the fraction less than yen in subsid-
iary coin.

"Early to bed, early to rise" is a
splendid maxim for the nervous pa
