SHARKS A FRIEND,
REDF|ELD CLAIMS

! How would you like to wear a pair
Of shark shoes. go travelling with a
shark suit case. read a shark-bound
hook. eat shark fms in a Chinese res
taurant for lunch, and have wifey

1t all may sound funny, but it's
coming to that before long, in the

said. And there's no trouble in get

Florida firm caught I41 sharks in one
forenoon.
Calling man shark these DAYS
may well be construed as a distinct
compliment" said Mr. Reddeld, "for

RUSSIA NOW READY
FOR NEW BUSINESS
Urge Sending of Commercial
Missions to Recaptured
Territory.

TAGANRoG, South Russia. oct. IS.
The Germans who in 1917 obtained
foothold in Russia will undoubtedly
try hard to get back again and take
up the threads of their old conmer-
cial influence. At the present mo-
pent British prestige stands high,
and the time is favorable for a
British commercial campaign. Noyo
Rossisk was before the war one of
the chief exporting ports in South
Russia, and vast quantities of grain
went through it and across the Black
Sea to England. 1t has vast quays
and beautiful harbor. The town
lies under the lee of a huge hill.
which is composed almost entirely or
cement, and contains big cement
works built largely by Germans and
intended for German exploitation.
These are now lying practically idle.
The kuban harvest this season is
likely to be record one.
A lot of work still remains to be
done before the neighborhood of the
port becomes serene and tranquil. In
the first place, Denikin's advance was
very rapid and has necessarily left
behind his army a population which

shake down to sane. normal methods.
Special and expert attention will have
to be given at the earliest opportunity
to the peace organization of the
Kuban Cossacks. They are tur-
-bulent crowd, and are quite apt to
jib at any sort of unaccustomed au-
.thority.
Suggest Autonomy.
The suggestion which has been put
forward by a section of the Kuban
Rada is that each of the small
States" in Russia should be granted
entire and unrestricted autonomy,
and should then be at liberty to dele
gate certain administrative functions
to the central Russian government
The state into which unbridled Boil
shevism has thrown the country may
be judged, for instance, by the fact
that there exist in the hills which
surround the port bands of men who
are nothing better than trigands.
These men style themselves the Green

Regular sea communications should
at once be established between Novo

same time every effort should be
made to speed up the construction of
