BOHEMIA is RICH COUNTRY
More Than Able to Measure Up With
Any of the provinces" Under
Austrian Sway.

In so far as any state is self-sns-
tanning under modern conditions,
that of the Czecho-Slovaks will be
able to stand upon its own feet.
Even prior to the war, economically
and financially, Bohemia was one Of
the richest of the Austrian prov
inces." Sixty-two and seven-tenths
per cent of the burden of Austrian
taxation was borne by the Czech
countries, while the rest Of Austria
carried only 1913 per cent. And now,
freed from oppressive taxation, dis
eliminating in favor Of financially
passive" Austrian lands, the
Czechs will be even richer. 1t is
worth while to call particular atten-
ton to Czecho-Slovak resources,
stated by authorities: The Bohe
mian lands surpassed what were
once the other Austrian lands in the
production OF grain. Thlrty-elght
per cent of the grain lands of the
former Austrian empire is found in
Bohemia; of the coal found in Aus
tria, SO per cent is mined in the Bo-
hemian lands; go per cent Of the
Austrian iron is found there 80 per
cent if not more, of the sugar fac
tories of Austria are located in the
lands of the Bohemian crown; the
textile industry is one of large pro
portions and leather, paper, furni-
ture and electro-teehnical indus
tries are of Importance.

JOSS-PAPER INDUSTRY LARGE
Big Demand for Material Without
Which No Chinese Funeral Cere-
mony Is Complete.

The Swatow district is probably
the largest producing center of joss
paper in China. Its average annual
export amounts to half the total ex-
port from all China. In addition to
supplying the local demand, the fol-
lowing amounts were exported: =
1883 pounds, valued at $1,249,-
$50, in 1916. and 7,023,200 pounds,
valued at $1,011, 332, in 1917. About
one-half of the export was sent 20
Hongkong, Siam, Straits Settle
ments and Dutch Indies.
Southwestern Fukien supplies this
district with the paper for loss-pa-
per making. Only the lowest grade,
third quality, paper is used. Chao-an
district is the chief center Of the in
dustry.
The manufacture of joss paper Is
g simple process. Tin foil and the
paper are cut in the desired sizes
and shapes-usually square-and
sheet of tin foil is pasted on one side
of the paper. In this sheet it is sole
to the retailer, and it is he who
makes it into the common form Of
"shoes of sycee" or other forms, the
yellow representing gold and thu
gray ST. 5er. 1t is burned by the Chi
nese at funerals, at services for thu
dead, etc.-Consular Reports.

GERMAN GOTHAS.

There is no mystery now as to the
number of Gotha machines or the
types of them. There were never
more than thirty available to raid
England at any one time. Probably
we were most familiar with the
Friedrichshafene G III, which car
ried three men and LOO pounds Of
bombs. Its speed was 81 miles per
hour for six hours and it could reach
1000 feet
The latest and most wonderful of
all the raiders was the five-engined
Riesen (191D machine, which car
ried nine men and more than 1000
pounds of bombs. Some Germans
say that single bomb carried
weighed a ton Many of these ma
chimes crashed and took fire on land
ing. They we're slow-70 miles-and
could not lift their full load over
5000 feet.-Lendon Mail.

NATIONAL FORESTS.

The recreational value of the ma
tional forests alone is estimated by
Doctor Waugh as more than the
whole cost of their administration.
and is in addition to the timber and
forage resources and the value Of
watershed protection. On this basis
the national forests are certainly a
paying investment for the American
people.

Many Improvements at the
Herd Farms.

eSted in the extensive improve
ments being carried on at the
Anderson T. Herd farms, just
west of New Hope, and also al
his mill in Lambertville, as he is
now the largest private employer
of labor in this section.
1t is understood that work will
be renewed in earnest in a few
days, when the improvements
under way on what was formerly
the Stacy Johnson farm will be
pushed to completion. At pre-
sent fair sized force of men are
busy hauling lumber, stone and
other material, and looking after
his dairy barns, which are under
the personal care of Harry Haas,
of New Hope.
The new barn, erected on the
site of the one burned a few
years ago, is being used temper
aril for a dairy place until a
much larger place can be erected.
There are many fine Guernseys
in the present lot, running up to
high priced stock, and more will
be added a little later, when
| there is a place for them.
There will be an adminstra-
ton building, a garage, an office,
the horse barn and wagon house,
a dairy building a piggery, and
an Office building on the former
Johnson farm, which will be
headquarters for all the farms,
embracing 700 acres or more
already purchased.
The Sugar brook flows
through the place, and water is
being pumped from this stream
to the buildings now, and more
extensive provisions will be
made later to take care of a
swimming pool and other feat
ures at the house, which will be
one of the show places of Bucks
County when completed. The
magnificent old stone mansion,
with half a dozen or more fire
places, is being overhauled and
added to-.
A stone road is being built
from the Sugar Valley road past
the house, barn and other build
ings, and will probably be ex-
tended across country to the Ely
farm, another important spot on
j the Herd farm. map, according
| to present indications. The ma
terial is being taken from the
owners own quarry, on the east
side of the highway, crushed
and hauled for the highway and
for concreting and masonry
work around the buildings. 1t is
a limestone of good quality for
this kind of work, and equal or
superior to anything that could
be brought from outside. The
private road is being built for
hard service, large stone being
placed to a much greater depth
than is usual on contract built
Tmacadam roads.
There are three tractors
already on the Herd farm, two
operated by gasoline or kerosene
and one bv steam. The latter is
used at present in crushing the
stone used around the place.
1t is likely, now, that large
force of men will be engaged all
the season on this construction
work, and the more optimistic
are hopeful that Mr.. Herds ex-
ample in coming to Solebuiy
township will be followed by
other New Workers, with mutual
profit to all concerned.

concert-7ays Tribute
/ to Dead.

Washington, Nov. II. Presiden,
Wilson's message to the country or
armtsticc ~; is as follows:
TO My Fellow Countrymen:
"A Year ago today our enemies laid
down their arms in accordance will
an armistice which rendered them i'm
potent to renew hostilities, and gave
to the world an assured opportunity
TO reconstruct it's shattered order and
to work out in peace new and justeI
set Of International relations. The
soldiers and people Of the European
allies had fought and endured for
more than four years to uphold the
barrier. Of civilization against the az
s1ossions of armed force. We our.
selves had been in the conflict some.
thing more than year and half.
With splendid forgetfulness OF
mere personal concerns we remodeled
our Industries, concentrated; our finan.
c1al resources, increased our agricul.
tural output, and assembled q great
army, so that at the last our power
was q decisive factor in the victory.
We were able to bring the vast re.
sources, material and moral, of great
and free people to the assistance OF
our associates in Europe who had
suffered and sacrificed without limit
In the cause for which we fought. 3D..
"Out Of this victory, there arose
new possibilities of political freedom
and economic concert. The war
showed us the strength of great ma
tions acting together for high pur-
poses, and the victory of arms fore
tells the enduring conquests which
can be made in peace when nations
act Justly and in furtherance of the
common interests of men. To US in
America, the reflections of Armistic
day will be filled with solemn pride in
the heroism of those who died in the
c0untry's service, and with gratitude
for the victory, both because of the
thing from which it has freed US, and
because Of the opportunity it has given
America to show her sympathy with
peace and justice in the councils Of
nations"
WOODROW WILSON.
PershIne Praises Patriotism.
In statement issued by General
Pershing, he says: " ~a
AS we pay tribute to our fighting
men, we remember that solidly be-
hind them stood the American people
with all our resources and our deter.
mination. This common service has
welded together our people. These
experiences safeguard the future of
America, and enable us to look for
ward confidently to the development
of stronger nationality and deeper
sense of the obligations that rest upon
us. The exercise by the American
people of practical patriotism during
the war was an avowal of our firm
adherence to the principles Of free
government that will continue to have
great influence upon the progressive
thought throughout the world. These
are things which make this day
