PATRON SAINT OF HATTERS
corded Recognition by Makers Of
Hsad Coverings

st. Clement is known as the patron
saint of hatters. because OF his dis
covery for the making of compact
fabric out of wool without pressure
or weaving. The story goes that this
devout priest, while on a journey. be
came footsore and tired, and, removing
his sandals. sought rest by the road
side.
ST. Clement was soon disturbed by
the bleating OF lambs. Looking up
he beheld fox that had just seized
one of the helpless young sheep. He
cleared a hedge just in time to destroy
the fox and rescue the lamb, in the
process of which act he observed loose
wool, which he gathered and exam
ined.
The priest was struck by the sud
den inspiration that here was relief
for his lacerated feet. Binding the
yielding wool ON his wounds. he was
able to continue his journey. on
reaching his destination ST. Glenn
ent removed the sandals from his
feet, discovering instead of the fine
soft wool II piece of unfinished cloth,
seemingly so firm and thick thnt he
couldn't pull 1t apart. He called the
matted material felt"
This accidental knowledge Of the
priest caused the basic principle that
nnderlies the mems hat industry.
November 23 has been named st.
Clements day and is Il red-letter day
for the hat manufacturers of many
countries.

When VaseHne Was Valuable.

About three thousand barrels of oil have been obtained from the various wells experimentally bored by the Brit ish government in Derbyshire' (Eng1 and elsewhere. It is not a great deal. In fact, considerably more than this must have been yielded altogether by the famous Balm we'll, situated at St Catherine's near Edinburgh, which during several centuries exuded sub- stance we now know to have been genuine petroleum. No one ever seems to have thought of refining the crude oil and using it for Illuminating, pur- poses; but 1t was in great repute as a remedy for skin complaints, and people so afflicted came from far and near to obtain supplies of 1t. Espes cially esteemed was the solidified pe- troleum which was scraped from in- side the we'll near the bottom, and which used to be retailed, under the name of Balm of Sinai, for as much as a sovereign an ounce. Today one can buy an ounce of the same. sort of stuff-vaseline-f any chemist for a few cents.

SUDAN GRASS IS
 IMPORTANT CROP
Now Being Successfully Grown In Nearly All Parts of the
 United States. ~.
HAS SHORT GROWING SEASON
Gaining Popularity Because of It's Ability to Produce Falr Yield of
 Hay Under Conditions of
 Low Rainfall.

Ten years after its introduction to the United States from Khartum, Afri- ca, Sudan grass was being success fully grown in nearly all parts of the United States. It does not serve we'll either as money crop" or a soil im- prover, hence it may never find a permanent place in regular crop rota- lions. It has, nevertheless, very im- portant place in the farmers second line of defense as catch crop which can be planted to give satisfactory returns when conditions have brought failure to other hay crops. This is the verdict pronounced by the United States department of agriculture in Farmers Bulletin 1128 recently is- sued
 Sudan grass is replacing millet as the premier catch crop in many local tiles because of It's ability to produce fair yield and a high quality of hay under conditions of low rainfall; its rather short growing season, and its ability to thrive on a wide range of soil types. Large yields of Sudan grass are obtained only on good soils. but the grass fails completely only on cold, poorly drained land. !
 Sudan Grass Produces Heavily.
 Tn California under irrigation Sudan grass has made yields of g.8 tons of feld-cured hay an acre, when alfalfa produced but S.9 tons under like con- ditions; it ordinarily yields about the same as alfalfa under irrigation in the Southwest, but Sudan grass gives its full crop in three cuttings against the four or five required for alfalfa It is the only grass yet found which in this part of the United States ranks as the equal of alfalfa in point of yield and quality of the hay. Its rec ord in this respect has led to It's use in patching" old alfalfa fields when the stand of alfalfa has been de- stroyed. In the southern great plains where there is a low rainfall, Sudan grass grown without irrigation will yield from one to three tons of hay to the acre. a
 There are certain parts of tho United States where the department of agriculture considers 1t unwise to depend on Sudan grass for hay. This is true of the stiip of territory 200 miles wide along the northern boundary; the regions of high alti-

 SHOW QUANTITY
Various Fruits and Vegetables Must Be Marked Plainly to
 Comply With Law.
SHIPPERS DISREGARD RULES
Every Opportunity Has Been Given to Trade to Get In Line With Pro- visions of Amendment-Some
 Shipments Are Exempt

Fruits and vegetables in package form. when shipped into interstate commerce., should bear a plain and conspicuous statement of the quantity of the contents in each package, ac- cording to a statement made by off, cials of the bureau of chemistry, Uni ted States department of agriculture, who are charged with the enforcement of the federal food and drugs act. h. structions have been issued showing how various fruits and vegetables In marked In order to comply fully with the net weight amendment to tho law, and also showing what shipments of vegetables as ordinarily marketed are exempt from the net weight provisions. These instructions have been distribut- ed widely among fruit and vegetable growers and shippers.
 The bulk of the fruits and vegeta- bles now shipped into interstate com merce are marked in accordance with the law, say officials, but some ship pers have overlooked or are disregard ing this provision of the law. Since this amendment has been In effect for six years and every opportunity has been given to the trade to get in line with Its provisions 1t is the opinion of the officials that there is now no ex- cuse for any shipper failing to mark the quantity of the contents on pack ages of fruits and vegetables shipped within the Jurisdiction of the law.
 How to Mark Packages.
 Fruits and vegetables in baskets, hampers, drums, cartons, boxes, crates and barrels may in general be marked by either weight or dry measure, or when packed In barrels may be marked in terms of the United States standard barrel and it's subdivisions of third, half or three-auarters. Statements of dry measure should be in terms of the United States standard bushsl and it's customary subdivisions of half-bushel, pecks. quarts, pints or haf-pints. If the quantity of the contents be stated by weight or measure, 1t should be marked in terms of the largest unit contained in the package except that In the case of an article with respect sO which there exists a definite trade

IS RECORD BIBLE
Immense Volume Now Nearing
 Completion in England.
Book Will Be by Far the Largest Vol ume That Has Ever Been Con- structed-Definite Purpoae
 In It's Production.

English Bible plans for 1921 center around the production of the worlds largest Bible, notes the Portland Ore gonian.
 Months of work have already been expended upon it. Many weeks more will be needed for its completion. AL ready, however, the frame of the great book is in being. Six stout hempen ropes, much thicker than the ordinary clothesline, are its backbone. Four of these are laced into millboards half an inch thick as foundation for the leather covering. The back of the book is sewed with twine round the six stout hempen ropes in the old fashioned way.
 In every sense the biggest Bible Is intended to be the finest example of book making that England can pro- duce.
 But why produce the biggest Biblef The answer to this question was given by the Bible Crusade" as follows:
 "The great Bible is intended to rivet public attention on the primary im- portance of the Bible as the fountain and source of all truth. AS this unique volume is magnified in size above all other volumes, so the grandeur of the Bible ought to be magnified in value above that of all other books"
 A feature of the great Bible Is that 1t will be written entirely by hand. Not more than three verses of the text will be written by the same person. Kings and field marshals will, side by side with paupers and workmen, tes- tify their belief in the holy scriptures. At the side of the piece of text which they write all will sign their names to the following:
 "As my testimony that acknowl- edge the Bible-as originally given to mankind-to be 'as 1t Is in truth, the word of God append my signature"
 The biggest Bible, when completed. will not only be the largest example of the word of God, but 1t will constitute the worlds completest autograph al- bum, with signatures, it is anticipated, of most prominent English and for eign men and women from hngs QCWnWdTU. iNeiVe LuouSduu pcOplc will be needed to complete the text.
 Twelve large goxrskins have been used in providing a cover for the big geSt Bible.
 When standing on end the volume is more than feet 2 inches high and nearly 8 feet inches wide, su that when 1t is opened flat it measures about 2 feet 10 inches across.
 The whole volume now lies at the Oxford University Press. It awaits the advent of Bible year and the grft by some wealthy crusader of special motor car which is needed to take 1t on Its mission in England end oSer- seas. Perhaps the great Bibfe will visit America if invited, to do so4 The special car which is to be designed Tor the great book will contain a foldlng pulpit and a special platform Bor exhibiting the text of the biggest Bible and the signatures.

 You attach it to the top of the win dow frame just as you would an ordi- nary shade. Being transparent, it does not obstruct the view. The ends of the stick may be fitted in grooves in the frame to keep the celluloid from curling.

He denounced such an effort as utterly repugnant to Ameri- can ideals. He said that government paternalism, whether applied to az riculture or to any other of our great national industries, would stifle ambi- tion, impair efficiency, lessen produc- tion and make us a nation of depend ent incompetents.

tudes in the western states; and also most of Florida and a narrow strip of land along the gulf coast. Low tenn peratures prevent success with the grass in the first two regions named, and disease is the limiting factor along the gulf coast. In a majority of the central and southern states, how ever, climatic and soil conditions are favorable to Sudan grass.
 Although Sudan grass Is best adapt ed by nature to use as hay crop, it Is also used with great success as a soiling and pasture crop for summer pastures. Its use as a silage mate rial is limited by the fact that it'fs easily made into hay and fed as such with very little waste, and also be- cause corn and sorghum both outyield 1t and are generally available through out the region where Sudan grass is grown.
 High Feeding Value.
 The feeding value of Sudan grass is equal to timothy hay. In localities where soy beans or cowpeas do well these legumes may be grown in mix lures with the Sudan grass. Such a mixture produces n hay of higher feeding value than the grass alone, because of the high protein content of the legumes.
 Sudan grass hybridizes freely with the sorghums. It is necessary, there fore, if pure seed is produced, to have the Sudan grass field at some distance from any sorghums, otherwise 1t will result in mongrel crop the follow ing year.
