EXCONINIUNICATED ARTIST
PAINTED POPE'S PORTRAIT

(By International News Service)
ROME.-A mild sensation has
been created in vatican circles by
the discovery that the artist Crosse,
who has just completed picture
of Pope Benedict, is the same Gros-
so who was communicated by Pope
Leo XIII twenty-five years ago for
painting and exhibiting an alleged
indecent picture at the Venice expo
sition.
The new portrait, representing the
pope kneeling in prayer, is a most
remarkable likeness. 1t was pre-
sented to him by delegation of his
fellow townsmen from Santa Mar
sherita, but it was several days af-
ter the presentation was made that
the real history of the painter was
discovered.
Crosse is now director of the Tur-
in academy. In 1895 he exhibited
at Venice painting called "'The Last
Tryst," representing several nudel
women making merry over the open
coffin of a dead lover. The patri-
arch of Venice brought the matter
to the attention of Pope Leo XIII,
who instructed all Catholics to re-
main away from the exhibition I'M
til the picture was removed. Queen
Margherita saved the situation by
inducing Crosse ITO remove the OBJ
jectionable painting.

LARGE SAVINGS TO FARMERS
EFFECTED BY CO-OPERATIVES
(By International News Service)

WASHINGTON. - Co. operative
farmers associations in the north
ern and western states, whose Or
ganization was promoted by county
agents, last year effected saving to
the members of s5,434,OO0, accord
ing to reports made to the states re-
lation service, department of agri-
culture. The governing principle in
all activities on the part of county
agents sharing in the cooperative
movements has been not to act as
the direct business agent of the
farmer or an organized group, but to
assist farmers in determining what
form of local organization is desir-
able and to secure assistance, when
available, in organization methods.
The county agent also helps guard
the community against over-organ-
ization and wherever practicable ad-
vocates the use of existing agencies.
The cooperative associations which
have had to do both with production
and distribution and include cooper
alive grain elevators, creameries and
livestock selling associations.

JEWELRY EXPORTING
(By International News Service)

(by lnternatlonal NEWS oeFVlce)
Observation-Disclosures of the
export jewelry trade of the United
States has been remarkable since
the war put Germany and Austria
out of business and seriously Grip
pied the commerce Of England. For
eign jewelry buyers are just now
swarming into the United States
and are making heavy jewelry pur-
chases among the jobbers and man
ufacturers of Attleboro, Providence,
New York and Chicago. They are
in the market, it is said, for all lines
of jewelry from plated goods to the
most expensive platinum wares.
South American, English and
Scandinavian buyers are particularly
anxious to obtain rolled geld and
plated jewelry which is now said to
be popular in their home countries.
All the buyers either have bank &C.
counts in institutions in this coun-
try or are carrying large sums of
cash to bind their purchases. One
buyer from England recently closed
a $4,000 order for silverware by
paying $4,000 in cash and the bal
ance in sixty-day note Another
from South America has references
from Latin-American bankers guar
anteeing his ability to pay for any
purchases he may make, and Is re-
ported ready to buy from $4,000
to 100000 worth of American jew
elry. :
South American buyers declare
that Germany has been almost COM
pletely driver from the Latin-Ameri-
can jewelry markets, which it for
merly dominated, and that all the
nations of the southern continent are
now doing their trading with the
United States.

FIND MOONHINING
IN WOODS OF MAINE
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
GREENVILLE, Me.-Activities Of
federal prohibition agents who have
blocked the smuggling Of liquor
across the Canadian border in this
vicinity though it is reported as still
merrily going on in some other Sec
lions, have led to considerable
"moonshining" in the pine woods
hereabouts. At least that is the
claim of local authorities who have
begun a crusade against illegal dis
tilling.
The authorities here say that,
while enforcing the federal prohi-
bition law may be up to the United
States officials, they are themselves
concerned over the effects of the
raw" liquor on the consumer;
hence the local "drive" on moon
sinners"

BRIQUETTES TO RELIEVE @ i

federal Saskatchewan and Manitoba
governments to the Lignito Utiliza-

ture briquettes from Ignite for gen.
eral fuel purposes. The board has

solved the problem by the use of
coal tar pitch blended with waste
straw.
Successful operation of the bri-
quoting plant will 60 long way
toward solving Canada's fuel prob
lem. Though Canada has immense
coal deposits, they have not been
sufficiently developed as yet to sup
ply the nations fuel needs, and
much coal is imported from the Unit
ed States. In consequence the threat
ened coal shortage in the United
States this winter may be felt in
Canada. Ignite briquettes will not
only be much cheaper than Goals but
will add vastly to Canada's fuel sup
plies. The southern portions of the
three prairie provinces are uEderlain
with Ignite deposits so extensive as
to be almost inexhaustible.

MASS. TOBACCO CROPS
HARD HIT BY WEATHER
(By International News Service)

(By International News Service)
BOSTON.-Reports received at
the state department of agriculture
show the tobacco crop in Massachu-
sets had been hard hit by unfavor-
able weather, together with the ha-
voc by numerous electrical storms.
Around Northampton and Hatfield
severe gales have blown down to-
bacco barns, which are for the most
part lightly built structures, and
heavy winds have done much dam
age to the high stalks which pro-
duce the universal weed.
Tobacco farmers do not expect to
lose greatly by the damage done to
the growing crop, as they say the
production will be lighter and that
leaf tobacco therefore will bring
higher prices.
