China Cables tor Forty Thousand Tons of
 Rice to Prevent Famine

That the shortage of rice in the Orient which has been fore seen for some time has become alarmingly acute is told in a tel egram received by E. A. Eignus, Secretary of the Southern Rice Growers Association, from F. B. Wise of the Bureau of Markets, United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. c.
 Had this call for help in feed ing the needy Orientals been re- ceived two months ago it would have caused general rejoicing among the rice interests, but at this particular time, with stocks about cleaned up. 1t only bears out the forecast made by the As sociation that prices at the open ing of the market on this year S crop will be higher than ever before, said Mr. Eignus, when asked what effect this demand would have on the American rice people.
 The telegram from MT. Wise read: E. A. Eignus, Southern Rice Growers Association, Beaumont. Texas s-Cable re. ceived Penang. China, Forty thousand tons rice needed to prevent famine. How much can the United States supply, how much can be shipped immedi- ately? Give lowest price per ton at Pacific and Gulf ports. Appar- ently good chance to unload stock low grade rice. Get in touch with rice interests. Wire reply our expense. Wise"
 Forty thousand tens is lot of rice, about eight hundred thou sand pockets, and even had the demand in China developed into the present acute situation thirty days ago, it is doubtful, if not absolutely certain that such a quantity of the cereal could not

A Fine Rice, Wheat and Hay Farm

One of the finest farms in this section is that of A. N. Hollings- head. located a few miles north east of town. It consists of 4S0 acres of rice. 90 acres of wheat, and several hundred acres of fine prairie hay which is ready for the mower.
 Two excellent rice irrigation wells have been installed this spring and were started to pump ing the first of the week. The wells are each equipped with an 05 horse power Bessemer engine and a Layne & Bowler pump of the very latest type They run like clock work and are. produc- ing a flow of 2000 gallons of wa ter per minute each, which will be sufficient to irrigate the large crop, which is just now getting to the proper flooding point The rice on this place is almost free from grass and promises to grow rapidly as soon as the wa ter gets the ground all flooded.
 MT. Hollingshead is preparing to harvest his wheat crop and tells us that most of it will make an average yield of from IS to 20 bushels per acre. He is also getting ready to make hay. hop ing to put men in the field next week and keep them busy until the having season is over.
 Mir. Hollingshead is an exper. fenced farmer and has the best wishes of the Independent for a most successful season of 1919.

 A demand for shipment o.S American rice to Europe alsdS developed last week when the Southern Growers were asked if there could be furnished to the Grain Corporation any of Types 200 and 250, consisting of about two parts of fancy and one part of screenings or stack burned. The Association lad been working for the past sixty to ninety days to ascertain if there would not be available 15.- 900 tons of these types which had been originated to take the place of higher grades of which there was shortage the past season. On receipt of the tele- gram last week from the Grain Corporation the situation had so i changed that there was none of this type Of rice available, where a short time before 1t had been considered there might be had 5000 tons.
 The recent sharp advances in the rice market were caused by stocks of all grades moving so fast that t hey are now practical ly cleaned up, and the only out, come will be that the market will open in August on the new crop at even higher figures than now prevail. With a demand for American rice from both the Orient and Europe no other re- suit is possible. and there is no, i proof that this demand is sbb- stantial and viii continue than the cable from China received Saturday and the inquiry Of the Grain Corporation for Type 200 rice.

Future Of cantonments.
From the Ohio State Journa,

Now there is a scheme worked out at
Washington to buy up all: the canton
ments as a sort of training grounds that
might be needed in future emergencies.
The project assumes that this nation is
always to be military. and yet it is the
very idea that the great war crushed.
Think of the cost Of those cantonments
from the purchase Of them and the ex-
pense they would constantly require in
the maintenance of them. Here would
be hundreds of jobs thrown into the po-
littcal caldron, and for no use excent
for The vaguest possibilities.

TRAP TRAVELLING
MAN WITH BOOZE
Pays Dearly For His'scheme to
Get Liquors For Which He
Had Not Paid Pre-
vailing Price.

Edgemont, S. D., Jan. 25.-A travel
ing mar had to pay $500 in a Hot
Springs court because he had taken
possession of a suitcase which had
been abandoned by a boy. The suit
case contained IA bottles of liquor, SO
the travelling man paid at n rate of
$21.40 u quart. and also lost the booze.
The boy who abandoned the suit
case was transporting the liquor from
Douglas, Wyo., to Chadron, Neb., 1t
is aid The travelling man got a
tip as to what the boy had in the
suitcase, and, seating himself near the
lad. got into conversation.
rs h a your grip?" he incidentally
asked h lad, pointing to a suitcase
that was setting some distance from
the boys seat.
Suspecting that the travelling man
was a liquor 'spotter;" who almost
daily boarded trains and searched the
grips OF passengers entering Nebraska
from Wyoming, the boy became eau
tious and denied ownership of the grip.
When the train reached Chadron the
boy ignored the suit case and left the
train. His alleged employer was wait
ing for him and inquired as to what
had become OF the suit case and Ii
quor. The boy told him of what he
had encountered in the way of a sus-
picious character and pointed out the
travelling man.
The "bootlegger' made inquiries and
ascertained that the suspect was not
an officer but a travelling man. Be
coming convinced that the travelling
man intended to confiscate the booze
when he left the train at Hot Springs,
S. d., he telephoned an officer at Hot
Springs. giving a description of the
travelling man. When the latter left
the train at Hot Springs he was
pounced" upon and the IA bottles of liz
quoE We're found in his possession. He
was arrested on the charge of trans
porting liquor into South Dakota, in
violation Of the statewide prohibition
law. and, when taken into court, was
fined the 5000.
