The island Of Corfu, which may
become q modern st. Helena, is in
the Mediterranean sea, off the coast
of Albania It is the most northerly
of the Tonian islands. It has an area
OF about 277 square miles, surface
rises TO a height of 1900 feet at one
point. It Is no barren, rocky reef
TO which the former emperor is GO
ing. The climate Is pleasant and the
soil fertile. Oranges, citrons, grapes,
honey, wax oil and salt are abundant
there.
A Corinthian colony settled on the
island In the eighth century, B. c..
In 228 B. G. it became subject to
Rome and At the division OF the
Roman empire it became a part Of
the Byzantine realm, The Venetians
possessed Corfu from 1886 to 1897.
Since that time 1t has shared the
fate of the other Ionian islands, and
has belonged with them, since 1868,
to Greece. Corfu had a. population
in 1907 of 99,571.
1t is very unlikely, however, that
to this Garden Of Eden The French
took over the island in 1916 and turn
ed the castle into q hospital for Ser
bian sufferers. Greece, then with the
Germans, protested against the seiz-
ure, but the allies pointed to the fact
that the island was being used as a
submarine base by the Teutons. It
is unlikely that the allies viii turn
the villa over to the kaiser when it is
serving humanity.

Coal Shipments
Continue Meagre

Bismarck. N. d, Nov. 2s.-Anthra-
cite shipments into North Dakota
have failed to increase. as promised
by the federal fuel administration,
and Capt. /. p. Baker, federal fuel
administrator for North Dakota, has
addressed a protest to the adminis-
tration in Washington.
Instead Of improvement, your
comparative statement OF distribu-
ton OF anthracite to November. ].
shows a decrease in percentage of
total shipments to North Dakota
and South Dakota, and further in
crease of percentage to Wisconsin"
wired Captain Baker. This condition
is intoIerable. Shipments to North
Dakota must be brought up to the
proper percentage of coal promptly
for as YOU know many communities
have been neglected and results will
be serious unless immediate ship
ments are forthcoming"
The fuel administration contends
that for some time this state has not
been receiving it's proper quota from
the head of the lakes docks.

State Uses Half
Usual CoaISMbply

Baker, federal fuel administrators for
North Dakota, estimates that the
states consumption OF coal during the
6rst two months Of the heating year
has been less than half the consump-
ton under normal conditions. this de-
spite the influenza. epidemic that has
neceasitated extra firing in many i'm
stances.
Mild weather has been big factor
in reducing coal consumption. while
Captain Baker says conservation poll
cies carried out by domestic cOnsuu-
ers are having a vital effect in reduc--
ing consumption.

SAVE GARDEN SEED

WASHINGTON, D. G., Aug. 2O.--
Saving seed from the home garden--a
practice that was the rule in earlier
times-is the cheapest and best way
of insuring supply for planting next
spring. Saving garden seed is an
emergency measure; the supply is lin
tied, yet thousands of people had gar
dents this year and last year who new
er raised them before. There is but
one general principle, say garden
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture, underlying
the production of good vegetable seed
and you probably know it: save see'
from the best plants. Seeds shoui'
not be gathered until maturity, tn
specialists add, and should be prop
erly dried, placed in suitable contain
ers, carefully labeled and stored in
dry place where insects or mice cal
not get at them.

VACCINATION SAVED
MRS. ]. D. O'REAR

Mrs. John Davis Orear, wife of the
late United States Minister to Bolivia,
and small son, arrived home at mid
night Thursday after a voyage of more
than three weeks, up the Pacific Coast
through the Panama Canal and up TO
the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans.
Mrs. orear and son were met at St.
Louis by her father, DR.. X. R. Bragg,
who accompanied her to this city.
For day or two, Mrs. Orear will
see no one, as she has undergone not
only very trying trip, but has passed
through a very sad experience in los
ing her husband while several thous-
ands of miles away from home. She
was accompanied as far as Panama by
the Rev. DR.. Hartzell and family, mis-
sionaries to Bolivia.
At the time Minister orear was TAX
en- i'll with smallpox, from which he
died, their small son was away from
home with friends, and Mrs. oreal
was with her husband. She remained
three days at his bedside until propel
nurses could could be procured. Bot
she and her small son had been vac
cinated against smallpox before leav
ing this country, while Minister 0rea
had refused to be vaccinated.
The Ledger joins the many friend
Of Mrs. orear in welcoming her bacI
home, and again extend deep sympath
