LITTLE OHIO TOWN IS
BIRTHPLACE OF W. c. T. u

HILLSBORO, Ohio, April Is (by AS
ISOLATED Press. - This town, the
home of Mother" Thompson, credit
ed with being the founder of the
Woman's Christian Representation,
is arranging for a big national cele-
bration when America goes dry on
July 1. Leaders of various temper
ance societies will attend the celebra-
ton.
Those planning the event claim
that Hillsboro is the birthplace of the
national prohibition movement. They
say that on December "a, 1873, num-
Der of women joined forces and set
out to rid the district of it's saloons.
The story of how these pioneers,
headed by Mother" Thompson, sal
lied forth day after day and, kneeling
before the saloons, prayed and sang
them out of existence" is matter of
history, the celebration managers
say.
Some of the members of Mother"
Thompson's little band are still living
and will participate in the celebration.

MAY IMPORT
RICETOJAPAN

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10 (by AS.

would not surprise me to see japan
importing rice from California" said
Count Y. Ozaki, member of the Japan.
csc parliament; in connection with a
California industry which practically
did not exist six years ago. Count
Ozaki had just arrived from the
Orient on visit to this country and
Europe for the purpose of studying
economic, political and other condi
lions.
1t only was in 1912 that California
produced small crop of rice which
could be dignified as being CONNER
cial crop. The two following years
were failures. Prior to 1912 rice grow
ing in the state was purely expert
mental. The first effort at rice cul
tivation was made in 1860 when PA,
900 pounds was raised.
Comparative figures showing the
growth of the industry during the six
years of it's existence are:
1912-1,2OO acres; 100000 pounds
valued at $4,000.
1918 STANDARDIZATION acres
370,O00,0o0 pounds; valued at s13,
|O56,OOO.
The Japanese residents of Cali
fornia were the pioneer growers ant
to them is given much of the credit
for the success achieved in cultiva
ton. OF the varieties of rice grow
practically ninety per cent is
Japanese.
The climatic conditions and neces
sary water supply is found in thu
highest state Of feasibility in the
northern section of the Sacramento
valley. Ninety per cent of the states
rice areas is located in the countries
of Glenn, Butte, Colusa, Yuba, Suttel
and Yolo. Other sections of the state
are taking up the industry which
promise of increased production.
The United States recently has be
come the largest rice producer in tn
Occidental world; total production
having grown from 136,000,00O pounds

VACCINATIONS
OF |. v. WIS
Are EXPOSED

PHOENIX Ariz., April Is (by Asso-
ciated Press) documents and al
legged revelations of former secre-
tary of the Industrial Workers of the
World branch were made public here
today by Sheriff John Montgomery OF
Maricopa county, in campaign or
publicity ITO let the people of this
city and county know l. w. w. condi-
lions here and to impress on Wash
ington the necessity for protection"
An alleged verbatim copy of state
ments by former I. w. w. secretary,
receipt for money and letters were
among the papers published.
Sheriff Montgomery said his infor-
nation had been presented to COM
mittee of citizens and this committee
had decided upon publicity as a
remedy. His secret investigation of
/. w. w. affairs, he added, had been
prompted by a determination to pre-
vent recurrence of alleged incendar-
ism in the Salt river valley.
Much of the matter given out, he as
serted, came from the Phoenix I. w.
w. office which he described as head
quarters second in Importance only to
the main office at Chicago. He said
he had obtained records and papers
relating to I. W. w. operations in
Arizona, New Mexico, California,
Texas, Colorado and Nevada.
A former secretary of the I. w. w.,
according to a stenegropahic report of
answers said to have been made by
him to Sheriff Montgomery's ques-
tons, is credited with the following
admissions:
That incendarism in the Salt river
valley near Phoenix last summer was
carried out by members of the
/. w. W.
That members of the organization
still are carrying on the campaign OF
the "torch."
That member of the l. w. w.
from California told him privately
some of the Sacramento bunch OF
forty convicted there several months
ago, were guilty of the sabotage
charged against them.
That the secretary together with
other members of the l. w. w. had
held conferences on labor matters
in common" in the Phoenix labor
temple.
The records of the Phoenix head
quarters of the organization In the
sheriff's possession show total OF
$4,000 received in dues during half
a year, mostly miners dues, those for
other branches having been sent di-
rectly to Chicago. A grand total OF
nearly 100000, is shown as the
Phoenix Offices receipts from all
sources for less than year. OF this
more than $4,000 is represented as
coming from the sale of literature,
due stamps, six hour stamps and
defense stamps for the prisoners

In the verbatim statement which
Sheriff Montgomery asserted he OBJ
tanned from the former secretary, be-

and answers appear:

Awe were confident some of the
members were doing it, but we didn't

truth, the old 400 are in the biggest
part of that. Gle is reported to have

Sheriff Montgomery stated he had
been pursuing his investigation into

sible, he would prevent the outbursts
of incendiarism in the Salt river val

 The story has been arranged into seven great chapters and has been faithfully followed by Albert Cappe- lani, who directed the entire picture Never has the subtle influence of :he Orient been depicted with greater sincerity than in this picture.

The blaze of color and rhe animation of the bazaars and the cool and almost cloister like quiet- ness of the harems and the inner courts of the dwellings.
 This story was selected by the great Nazimova from a collection of masterpieces because she felt that in making the choice she would give freer rein to her great dramaicsab ity and do justice to the author.

HIGH PRICES
 NOT TO DECLINE

High food prices for many months to come This is the unmis stakable indication at the present time, accord ing to c. Howard Davison, speaking today for the National Agricultural Society.
 Some lines of foods may show a decline" MT. Davison said, "but as to staples. Americans car make up their mind that the world demand is strictly in control of prices and that this condition will endure for a long time to come.
 ''The end of the war has brought little or no relief. Food prices are just as largely under the control of the European situation as they were a year ago. It is true there are enough hogs coming into the markets just now to bring about a decline in the price of meats and fats if condi- tions were usual. and 1t Is likewise true that the present outlook is for a surplus of wheat in the spring. But the Government says the rninimuqa price for wheat and hogs must not be lowered.
 "The Government, fully conscious that the appalling scarcity of food stuffs abroad will exist for many months, clearly is continuing its pol fey of maintaining high price levels an order to stimulate production to the utmost Few will dispute the far-sighted wisdom of this policy"

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WAS FIRST UNITED
 STATES DIPI ONAT

The first diplomat to represent the United States at a foreign court was Benjamin Franklin, who arrived in Paris. as official agent" of the in fant republic in France 142 years ago tomorrow. The crossing of the Atlantic in the sloop "ReprisaT'' had occupied d%er a month, and Dr.
 Franklin had had many thrilling escapes from pursuing British vessels Franklin. was given a cordial recep- ton in France, although his refusal to wear a sword or wig when pre- sented at court shocked the fashion ables. The greatest writers and phi losophers of that golden age in France delighted to honor Dr. Frank lin, and even the venerable Voltaire paid tribute to the genius of the American. Franklin remained in France nine years. At first he was merely the agent of "the American rebels" and mad no official dipIo- matic standing, but even in that ca pacity he had sufficient influence to bring about the treaty of alliance be- tween France and the Colonies, which had so profound a moral effect on the revolutionary struggle. He raised a large amount of money in France, and after the signing of the treaty became the first American minister to that country.

MEXICO SHORT OF SMALL COINS

Mexico City, Jan. 4-Infnite an- noyance to every resident and an ap- preciable loss to business houses has resulted from the virtual disappear ance from circulation of silver coins. These comprise half peso pieces and those of 20 and 10 centavos. The constantly increasing price of silver has given spectators a chance to make enormous profits by cornering the silver cctns for sale as bullion. When the shortage became noticea- ble, the capital press printed stories On the disappearance of the coins An immediate rush to hoard what coins remained then began.
 Persons without change are unable to make small purchases as many merchants will decline to sell if they are forced to give silver change for 10 or 20 peso gold piece. The gov ernment to relieve the situation, is rushing preparations to mint a new gold coin worth two and half pesos.

|oL YINPIC HAS ADVENTUROUS CAREER
 SINCE THE BEGINNING OF GREAT WAR

Captain Hayes has brought her through without a scratch, but her scars are marks of honor. She bent and fractured some of her plates when, in the darkness early one morning, she 'strafed one of Ger many's finest U-boats.
 The Olympic had most of her ad- ventures while she was carrying American troops. During March, April and May, 1918, the German submarine commanders made at least seven daring attacks on her. Not once did the enemy have time to launch a torpedo, for in every case he was greeted by a six-inch shell or one of the destoyers was on his track with her depth charges. Perhaps some of Germany's missing subma- rines are now lying below the track Of the Olympic.
 "The most thrilling experience which the Olympic had took place in the darkness of early morning of May. 1918, near the entrance to the English Channel It was just about
 o'clock when the lookout man picked out of the almost total dark ness the outline of a lurking subma- rine which was lying on the surface. l Hmm ediately after his warning shout 1 one of our forward guns blazed out, and the ship, with her helm hard 1 over, spun around like a great racing l yacht and crashed into the enemy.
 The blow was. sof course, not a clean one, or there would have been i few survivors from the submarine. Judging from the damage on the
 bows of the ship when dry docked a few days later the blow cut off one | end of the submarine. The rest
 drifted past the stern of the Olympic.
 and one of the gun crews on the
 poop planted a six-inch shell square
 Iy into it. One of the destroyers in the escort dropped behind, and by
 the light of star shells picked up 31 survivors, three of whom died on the
 way to port. The total crew Of the submarine was over 6O.''
