The Major stared hard at George
from under his white eyebrows ''You

guest here you'd expect him not to be
offended, and to understand that your
remarks were neither personal nor un-
tactful if you said the church was
nuisance and ought never to- have been

kind OF young people these days. It's
new style of counting a pretty girl

liberately out Of his way to try and
make an enemy Of her father by at

a new way to win woman!"
George flushed angrily and seemed
about to- offer a retort, but held his
breath for a moment; and then held
his peace. 1t was Isabel who respond
ed to the Major. ''Oh, nor she said.

Thereupon he offered his arm to his

and that this one was no exception.
George did not move, and Fanny,
following the other two, came round
the table and paused close beside his
chair; but George remained posed in
great imperturbability, cigar between
teeth, eyes upon ceiling, and paid no
attention to her. Fanny waited until
the sound Of Isabel's and the Majors
voices became inaudible in the hall.
Then she said quickly, and in tow
voice so eager that it was unsteady: =

but injurious.
In truth, however he was neither so

BRAZIL GROWS.
MUCH RUBBER
Possesses Vast Forests Of
~ Huge Trees Of Finest
r. Quality.

How Brazil, possessing in her
vast forests millions of huge rubber
trees of the finest quality growing
in rich luxuriance all ready for the
knife of the Taper, has been forced
by unfavorable conditions to permit
the crude rubber supremacy Of The
world to be sWcpg from her in de-
cade by the Far East is one Of the
big events in modern business his
tory.
That Brazil can do big things in the
most approved modern fashion needs
no proof beyond her coffee industry,
her undisputed supremacy Shore be-
ing due to scientific methods of the
highest order. In cacaO and cattle
raising she is also demonstrating her
CAPABILITIES. But IN rubber produe-
ton she has been hopelessly outdls-
tanced.
About forty years ago some seeds
from the rubber trees of Brazil were
taken to England and sprouted. Then
a few thousand musings were trans
planted to CeylOn, Java, MWma ana
Singapore. For years little was heard
of the enterprise and then came the
demand for rubber tires, and with
that demand rubber from plantations
In the Far East began to trickle into
the markets.
Meanwhile, the Amazon rubber dis
trict was going through scenes typl-
cal of gold mining rush. Fortunes
rocketed to the skies, and as the
stream of crude rubber flowed down
the river there flowed back to Manaos
a golden flood which made the rubber
city more luxurious for its size than
Paris and made Manaos the best dia-
mond market in the world. Anything
that was expensive could be sold, and
Jewels, fine silks, good wines and
foods, costly furniture and gorgeous
carriages found their way up the

thousand miles only the walls OF
jungle that edged the stream. Manaos
and Para become beautiful cities with
splendid buildings, costly homes and
fine streets.
That the position of Brazil, with
its great virgin forests of rubber
trees, could ever be assailed was a
ridiculous thought in those days. Ev
en- the manufacturers of Europe and
America did not take the plantation
efforts seriously. When plantation
rubber began TO appear in the worlds
markets 1t was taken without enthu'
siasm and at prices well below those
paid for the Brazilian product.
But by 1910 change came. The
demand for rubber for automobile
tires and for a thousand other uses
had become tremendous, and Brazi
was unable to meet the demand. Tha

PRESIDENT BACKS
RED CROSS SEALS

With the cordial endorsement of
President Woodrow Wilson the sale
of Red Cross Christmas Seals opened
December /. Some have already been
sold in Washington, where the Prince
of Wales himself purchased them be-
fore his departure for New York to
sail for England. The President, in
a letter to Or. Charles j. Hatfield.
managing director of the National
Tuberculosis Association, wished the
movement to sell 65O,OOO.00O of the
Red Cross Christmas Seals the very
best success" and the British Prince
gave the movement his praise.
The money realized from the sale
is to be devoted directly and imme-
diately to the war on tuberculosis in
Kentucky. There nre hundreds of
men and women in the State who
have not been able TO use as many of
the Seals as their interest in the
movement caused them to buy. SO
this year a Health Bond. in denomi-
nations of IS to S1OO has been is
sued for their benefit.
Kentucky has been given 10000
600 of these little Red Cross Christ
mas Seals to sell. The States quota
of the six and half million dollars
to be raised in the nationwide sale
and nationwide war on the white
plague has been fixed at about $780,
600, and if il is realized an intensive
fight on tuberculosis for 1920. will be
made. according to DR.. J. s. Lock,
executive secretary of the Kentucky
tuberculosis Association.
In an address at Louisville. DR..
Lock gave some thought-provoking
statistics in regard to the ravages of
the white plague in Kentucky, saying
that last year more than 1900 per-
sons had died of this disease, and that
nearly thirty thousand others were
suffering from it. With proper care
and treatment. he said, many of these
victims could be cured, and at least.
with sensible precautions taught by
visiting nurse, the development Of
other cases from these could be pre-
vented.
Reports from various counties of
the State indicate that the quota will
be raised, but that those interesed
in public health work must become
active and present the matter proper
ly to the public, which has always re-
sponded literally in the Red Cross
Christmas Seals campaigns in pre-
vious years.

MORGAN HORSE IN
ENDURANCE RACE.

In a 300-mile endurance contest
with horses of the purest Arabian
breeding. Castor" a Morgan gelding
bred by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at its Middlebu-
ry, VT, Morgan horse farm, was the
only horse with clean speed record
at the end of the fourth day of Cruel
ing contest. Castor" won third
place for speed at the end of the con-
test, Notwithstanding the fact that he
fell in the deep sand on a bad road,
injured his nose, and made the last 3
miles in a walk. This achievement is
an indication of what has been ac-
complished by the Department of Ag-
riculture in the rehabilitation of the
Morgan breed during the few years
since the work was undertaken.
The race was from Fort Ethan AL
len, VT, to Camp Devens, Mass,
largely over unimproved roads. The
purpose was to stimulate interest in
the breeding of Cavalry mounts thru
out the United States. A majority
of the horses entered were Arabians.
One was a crossbreed that had seen
overseas service and was the first
horse to pass successfully through
quarantine at Newport News, Two
were Morgans, bred at the depart
ment's farm. The veteran of over
seas service. Bob" owned and rid
den by Col. George, led the field at
the beginning of the race, but was
taken out before the finish. The two
Arabians to finish ahead of the Nor
gan after his accident were Rustem
Bey and Ramala.
Mai. C. A. Benton (retired) was
one of the judges, acting as the re-
preventative of the Bureau of Animal
Industry.

able not only to compete with the
plantations but even to develop the
industry to it's full possibilities. Her
jungles are filled with trees that have
never been touched, and the increased
rate of growth of the output has
been negligible lately. although in
the past year there have been evi-
dences of efforts toward larger pro-
duction.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1919-12-12

was the plantations opportunity and
they made the best of it. Enormous
acreages were planted and hundreds
of millions invested.
To-day Brazil is far to the rear. The
worlds output of crude rubber for
the current year will probably reach
about $4,000 tons. OF this total
Brazil will produce, by the most liber-
al estimate. not to exceed $4,000
tons, while from the Far East comes
$4,000 tons.
The explanation for the change is
easily made. In Brazil the rubber
trees are found in the dense jungles,
and the work is done along lines de-
, veloped by the Indians and little i'm
proved upon. In the Far East train
ed business men and scientists have
brought all their skill into play. In
Brazil the worker cuts his way thru
the jungle to a tree, and then to an
other and another until he has laid
out a path which he can travel day
after day to tan the trees along that
route. In the Far East vast areas
are laid out like great orchards, the
weeds are kept down, every tree is
carefully nursed and the stately plan
tations are among the horticultural
wonders of the world.
On the Amazon the rubber collec-
tor works on shares with the man
who "grub-stakes" him. He is not
trained or careful worker, and his
biscuits may include leaves, sticks
and dirt, due to carelessness and have
been know to include old nails, stones
or ax-heads, deliberately introduced
by the worker to make his rubber
weigh more. Plantation rubber, under
the supervision of experts, is placed
on the markets in such form that
the manufacturer can send it direct
to his mills so free is it from impuri-
ties.
In Brazil most of the areas rich
est in rubber trees are swampy, fe-
ver-breeding spots. The rainy season
cuts the working season down to sew
en- months, but the average working
capacity of a, collector is only 100
days, chiefly as the result of sickness.
Speaking of one of the principal
areas, a Brazilian tropical expert de-
clared there were no natives there,
"all children born there die"
In the Far East the trees are tap
ped all the year round and modern
medicine is at hand to fight disease.
Before the days of its great pros
perity the Amazon rubber district
grew much of its own food, but the
/ rubber boom brought about almost a
complete cessation in agriculture, and
today the prices paid for necessities
are fantastic. Prices are from dou-
BILE to five times as high as at Rio
Janeiro. The price to be received
for the rubber is TO considerable
extent a gamble, dependent on the
market prices in Europe and Ameri-
ca, and the store-keepers, who usual
ly grubstake the collectors cannot be
blamed much for getting high prices
for their commodities.
With the cost Of labor very high
the cost of food many times what il
is in other points and production
methods crude, Brazil has been un'

ASKS PROBATION
FOR IMMIGRANTS
Caminetti Proposes Revision
Of Laws to Exclude or
Deport Anarchists.

Revision of the immigration laws
will be one outgrowth of the nation
wide bomb plot.
Secretary Of Labor Wilson has re-
ceived from Anthony Caminetti, Com
missioner of immigration. a lenthy
report embodying proposed changes In
the law.
The first of these provides for the
registration OF all immigrants upon
their arrival in this country, together
with information concerning their
habits. appearance and purposes In
this country.
The second provides a probationary
period for immigrants. This will en-
oble the government, in the event It
suspects a new arrival of bad ten
denotes. to grant him permission to
remain in the country for a stated
period of three or six months. II
his conduct during this time is salts
factory, and if he gives evidence of
becoming an American citizen, he
will be allowed to remain.
If he shows anarchistic tenden-
cies or other shortcomings, he will
be deported Immediately to the land
from whence he came.
There are approximately 1000
aliens now awaiting deportation,
Mr.. Caminetti said. The majority
of these are insane, but anarchists
and revolutionists are numbered in
the horde.
IF the changes suggested are
finally incorporated in the law"
said Mr.. Caminetti. "the burden of
proof will be on the applicant VINO

things are now, the burden of proof
is on the United States government
