AMERICAN FLOWS
 REACH SALON|K| Motor Flows Badly Needed in Macedonia Because
 Livestock Is Gone
ev A,,ocjat,d pres.

Saloniki, May 7.--(By Mail.)--Large consignments of American agricuftu- ral machinery has been unloaded here for use in Macedonia The motor blows are badly needed or account of the dearth of horses and oxen which the Bulgars carried off with them. In the last six months the American Red Cross has been instructing the Greeks and Serbs in the use of modern farm machinery and American methods of soil improvement and now farmers are being given the opportunity to buy implements at advantageous prices
 King Alexander of Greece is much interested in American farming ma chinery. Recently a very large con- signment of agricultural implements arrived in Athens from America. The consignment comprised all classes of power machinery and considerable number of motor blows. King Alex ander viewed these blows at the Athens botanical gardens. At his request two Or three of these blows were set to work In an adjacent field, attracting from first to last his special attention. Later these American machines and i'm plements were exhibited at the Zap peion, the large exhibition building in Athens used during the war as hos pital. There they were visited by land owners, farmers and the general pub lie.
 The Greek government shipped a. number of these motor blows and other implements to eastern Macedonia and Thessaly to be used for the spring cul- tivation In addition thousands of or dinary American blows are being ship ped into Macedonia. To pull these blows the Bulgarians finally agreed after much discussion to deliver 700 draught animals per week to the Greeks in recompense for the tens of thousands of animals taken by the Bulgarian army in Thrace during the war.
 Owing to the fact that farmers throughout the near east cultivate on- ly small tracts, small size American machinery is in greater demand than the heavier machines, with the possible exception of harvesters. Only large owners can afford the large blowing tractors
 The American Red Cross has brought in about 300 American farm wagons and later these wagons and the many small American automobiles now bein 2 used in the near east will be sold to the farmers. The near east Is in greatest need of means of transportation and farming machinery and Americans are now meeting this demand.

AMERICAS MOVIE
 STARS ARE POPULAR
 |NBRAZ|L THEATRES
Visitor In Rio De JaneirO Can Imagine Himself In America From Posters
 Displayed
By Associated Press

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, June 12.--A North American arriving in Rio de Ja- neiro and traversing the main street of the city-Avenida Rio Branco-can with little mental effort imagine him self in New York, Boston, San Fran cisco or almost any city of the United States, owing to the extensive use of American made moving picture films, which have in the last three years be- come exceedingly popular, to the ex- clusion of European made films.
 Moving picture theaters, or cine matographs, as they are known here. line both sides of the avenida in the section where it passes through the heart of the downtown district Large posters with the names and pictures of North American movie stars are to be seen in almost every direction. The Brazilians have their favorites, know their respective qualities and can, in fact, converse as knowingly of the North American moving picture world as can the enthusiasts of the United States
 In addition to the amusement they afford, the American-made films are accomplishing something of perhaps more importance. They are stimulat- ing many Brazilians to a desire to learn the English language.
 Although the captions and written explanations done on each film are al- most completely translated in Portu- guese. this cannot \Adone so easily and economically with the large pos ters and therefore the prospective pa- tron is often confronted with the ne- cessity of reading the English if ne wants to know something about the picture before purchasing his ticket.
 This and the fact that occasionally in the captions English expressions are not translated has resulted in Bra zilians learning just enough English to create a desire for more. Added tc this Is the apparent extension of North American and English commercial in- terests in Brazil. Foreign language schools attribute to these causes the constantly increasing number of Eng fish langl1aRe students

 ing crops and thereby causing consider
 able damage. MT. Poland said that ne
 had permitted the construction Of the vat on his property in order to accom- modate himself and his near neignpors and that instead of being blessing II was proving to be exactly the opposie MT. Poland reported that the same con l. dition existed at the Charlie Borders vat near his own. and that reports from otn- CT yats in the county indicated a gen eral feeling of carelessness on the part ol cattle owners as to the damage to pri- yate interests near where the vats werf located.
 The Chosea Springs vat located on the property of Mr. Poland, is great con- venience to the people Of that commu' nity. but Mr. Poland has made the an nouncement that greater care must DC | used by those who use it or the privilege ] of using the same will be withdrawn.

She had been in i'll health for two or three years and while it had been known that she was critically i'll, the announcement that the end had come to her brought sadness to the homes of those who had known and loved the splendid matron for so many years.
 Mrs. Hampson was the daughter of the late w. A. Darden, pioneer settler ot this city, and the sister of Arthur Darden of this city, and of Billie Darden, Governor Kilby's private secretary.
