wild and WOOIIy" Wednesday

Even the many admirers of
Douglas Fairbanks who are ia
miliar with his daredevil stunts,
will gasp at his new thrillers dis
closed in "Wild and Woolly," at
his first appearance here at the
Orpheum next Wednesday night.
Leaping from porch of a house
onto a fast moving train is but
one of the many thrills performed
by the athletic star in his latest
film. Another startler is present
ed in a fight on horseback in
which right predominates. This
is undoubtedly one of the most
remarkable stunts of its kind ever
staged and shows the daring actor
leaping from one dashing horse
to struggle with the rider of
horse going at break-neck
speed. If you see Doug" this
time you won't miss seeing him
the next time.

MAKES FORTUNE
BY SMUGGLING
Swedish "Rubber Baron" Tells
How He Profited by Trad
ing on Frontier.
Was CLERK BEFORE The WAR
Made His First Money Dealing in
Russian RubIes-Then Engages in
Smuggling Rubber From Fin
land and Gets Rich Quickly.

Stockholm, Sweden.-"You want to
know what people smuggle? Go up
the river then, and you will soon find
out They smuggle nearly everything,
so 1t is rather difficult to answer the
question offhand" So said a custom
house officer at Haparanda, the little
Swedish town ON the frontier of Fin
land, to Herbert Ericsson, a Swedish
writer who went up the Tornea valley
to investigate the smuggling stories.
''While 1 was waiting for the Over
Tornea train to start, a motorcycle
chugged into the station yard" said
Ericsson.
"That is one of our rubber barons,"
remarked an acquaintance to me. A
rubber baron, in Haparanda talk, is
a man who suddenly gets rich on
smuggling rubber in from Finland. 1
was in luck, for the baron-KarlssOn
I will call him-traveled north in my
compartment. He was a pleasant fell
low. He did not remind me of the
smart spectators l had met in Norr-
land. He even looked embarrassed
Clerk Before the War.
"Presently he told me that at the.
outbreak Of the war he had been a
clerk In one of Norrland's coast towns.
He had earned his money in rubles.
"It is not generally known that
many hundred Swedes have made big
fortunes out of rubles. 1t happened
like this: After the occupation of
Poland and other regions of Russia,
the Germans found that the population
refused to take marks in payment for
such supplies as were paid for. The
people demanded rubles, and rubles
the Germans did not have. The only
way of getting them was through
Sweden. The Russian government
permitted no more than 500 to be tax
en- out of the government by each
traveller, but with the incentive of a
good reward smugglers were not lack
ing. The Haparanda agents bought
up these rubles and sent them down
to Germany by bales.
"When the Germans had bought all
the rubles they wanted Karlsson tried
to smuggle drugs to Finland. That
failed absolutely. He met with a dis
aster at the outset. His first consign-
ment of several kilos of acetylsalicy-
lie acid and 100 clinical thermometers
was seized by the Swedish customs au-
thOrities and a heavy fine was i'm
posed.
$50 he got into touch with some
Finnish merchants who, for a price,
guaranteed to have a large quantity
of rubber rings on the Swedish side of
the river at a certain minute on a GER
tain day.
Entering into relations with a firm
in Stockholm and finding that he could
make many thousand kroner profit
thereby, Karlsson told the Firms to 60
ahead. One night he went to Mattila,
where the rubber was to be ready.
Matilda is a tiny station on the Hap
aranda-Over-Tornea stretch of rail-
way, and almost on the bank of the
river.

Distinctive
Products

There Ia always an advantage
when a community gets reputa-
tion for some particular kind Of
product. Stock raisers say that the
farmers make mistake in dividing
up their interest among 80 many
different breeds. II those In one To-
cality would agree to specialize on
one variety Of cattle. their neighbour
hood would acquire a reputation for
that type. Buyers wishing that
breed would come from long dis
lance to look over the stock.
johnson County. Missouri, is one
locality that has worked along that
line. In one day breeder of short
horn cattle disposed of SO bulls. cows
and calves for $1,000. This could
not have been done In a locality that
had attained no reputation for some
distinctive product.
The same results are attained by
growers Of fruit. Whenever the
producers Of any section can acquire
. reputation for growing some par
ticular thing IN u distinctive way.
they attract buyers from long dis
lance, and accomplish moro than
they can by scattering their efforts.
The same idea works ON all kinds
OF manufactured products. When .
tcwn becomes known as q center
Tor certain type Of industry. people
come to It as center for that par
ticular thing.
A town or an agricultural district
may well keep In view two ends:
First, to diversity Its industry to =
certain point. SO that when condi-
I.
lions are dull in some industries and
not mothers. it will not be wholly
flat. ~
III Second. to specialize on some line
of agricultural or manufacturing pro-
aduction, and work to make that
thing a distinctive product. Young
men seeking to start in business
should be encouraged to enter that
particular line. SO that the commun-
ity should gradually tend to acquire
its own distinct product for which

The Struggle With
Mud

The struggle Of the American peo-
pie with mud. particularly in late
winter and early spring. is one OF
the regular experiences Of life In
The rural districts. People who live
in well paved towns or along hard
roads, do not realize what handt-
cap mud is to industry along the
back roads Of country having soft
soils.
Several of the Congressman went
down to Camp Greene In North Car
0lina and struck mud. The visitors
reported the mud at the cantonment
as being foot deep. On army wag'
ons It was nearly up to the hubs OF
the wheels. and almost up to the
bellies of the mules that drew them.
There are millions Of miles OF

a foot deep Is not at all unusual
While the mud season lasts travel
over the highway is practically pro-
hibited. It comes at season when

Our Railroad
Program

Clearly we have reached q point
where the regulating bodies are op-
posed to increasing railroad rates.
It will be Of no advantage to the
present owners to get back their
properties at the end Of the war II
they are to face conditions such as
have. year by year, reduced their
credit and brought the annual add
lions of new facilities to the lowest
during this generation. It will be
some time after peace comes that
prices OF commodities and OF all Ia
Dor fall back where the 1917 railroad
freight rate in Eastern territory can
absorb them.
Again, war has demonstrated the
necessity for some thousand miles Of
purely strategic lines in the United
States. probably running north and
south. or along frontiers. These
would be expensive to build and
quite without commercial value. Still
further. the only apparent solution
Of the terminal question without the
expenditure Of hundreds Of millions
Of dollars Is In the naturalization Of
these existing facilities. Along with
this goes q policy Of common inter-
est between the transportation lines
and our merchant marine In the de-
vclopment and retention OF high
II desirable overseas trade. Includ-
ed in this program would be the in
land water ways. whose development
has been retarded by the railways.
and whose future growth must de-
pend ON their direct relation to q
national transportation scheme.
The rebound in all securities aft
ier the announcement Of the propos-
ed guarantee was sufficient evidence
that investors felt they had been lift
ed out OF their slough of despond.
1t Is a very grave question whether,
unless they are allowed a modifica-
ton Of pre-war conditions, they will
wish to return to the old condition
of uncertainty as to interest and
dividends. preferring fair price for
their properties to limited opportun'
ity for profit under excessive rate
