WEALTH FLOWING INTO CUBA
Crops of Cotton and Sugar Will Net People of Island Some
 $2,OOO,OOO, 900.

Cuba's coming sugar crop Is expect ed to yield about 100000 tons-a rec ord output. At prices which the plant CTS are counting upon receiving for to them of from about $75O,0OO,OOO to $SO0,0OO,OOO. Bear in mind that thls is for one crop raised on an islanu Of only 45,S96 square miles and with a population of about 2,5OO,OOO.
 In the cotton-grOwing sections of the South there are approximately about 25,0OO00O people. The center of interest in Cuba is sugar, in about the same degree that cotton concen- trates the interest of the South. When the cotton crop first reached the value of $2,OOO,OOO,OOO a year, the world held up its hands in amazement, and yet this $2,OOO,OOO,OOO is distrib- uted directly or indirectly among 25,- 100000 people. In Cuba more than third of that amount will be distrib uted directly or indirectly among 2,5OO,OOO people. Every dollar of this vast sum is paid into Cuba from other countries. It is as though the entire world production of gold for two years and more were dumped into Cuba, as measured by the worlds production of gold and the Cuban sugar crop value. -Manufa cturers' Record.

North nakofaSs tonite.

A government report says "the fuel problem has been forever solved in North Dakota" The western half of the state is underlaid with Ignite, the beds estimated to contain 60O,OOO,OOO.- GOO tons. Over thousands of square miles this soft coal lies so close to the surface that farmers merely dig a hole in their own fields and take out the coal as they require it. During 1918 1000, 100000 tons were mined. If the farmer is too busy with his farm work to help himself, he can buy it for $15O or $2 per ton. Many of the large grain elevators are operated by power furnished by coal that is mined on the spot, and this general economy in fuel has aided materially in in creasng the per capita wealth.

Britons Eat Less Meat,

Englishmen used to be considered the greatest meat eaters in the world Now, declares the Society of Meat I'm porters Uondon), the average Eng lishman eats 33 per cent less meat than he did before the war. Unless he can be induced to eat more of it the country will be faced with such a glut of meat as it has never had before, a London dispatch says.
 The annual consumption of meat in the United Kingdom before the war was about 1,S0O,OOO tons, say the im- porters. It is now only 100000 tons And this, they contend is due entirely to the high cost still maintained. Eng lishmen and Englishwomen, too, are just as fond of meat as ever, but they cannot afford to eat as much of it as they used to.

 Little Edward is just 3 years old, but "going on A. He is very fond of his grandmothers home and often is a young visitor. His last call was last Sunday afternoon. Grandmother, who had been taking a nap, was bit late coming downstairs to greet her fa- vorite guest. She found him cuddled up in the big easy chair in front of the fireplace. Edward smiled as she stopped to kiss him, but, boylike, that was about the only sign of affection from him.
 "Get up, dear," urged Edwards mother, that's grandmother's chair"

The Royal Society for the Protec- tion of Birds in England and the Per manent Wild Life Protective Fund of the United States join in suggesting that Helgoland be made a reservation for the birds that migrate along the coast of Europe. The island is less than one-fifth of mile square, but 1t is directly in the path of migra tory birds, and when Germany has re- moved the Notifications and other military establishments the birds will probably use it.
