LEATHER FROM SHARKS SKIN

Conspicuous among the many sub
stitutes for the conventional leather
used today exhibited at the shoe show
A. the display Of leather made from
shark skin at Boston.
The shark was placed some time
ago very much in the limelight over
tAe question OF whether or not his
"neat" was a good substitute for the
accepted food. Now, it seems, he is
being exploited from a different
angle.
The dried rough skin of certain
varieties OF shark, called shargreen,
has always been used for covering
such articles that have handles and
scabards of swords, and for orna'
mental purposes, but it was not until
recently that a process for making il
into durable leather was discovered
IL has now been sufficiently develop
ed TO permit its use in all kinds OF
shoes. book bindings, trunks, bags
harness, etc.

EDWIN SPENCER, JR., BUYS BIG
HOLDINGS

We know that his friends In TINS
county will read with great deal OF
interest and pleasure the following
item which we clip from a recent
issue of the Lakeland Telegram:
"One of the biggest real estate deals
ever put over in the county has just
been censummated by the purchase OF
the properties of the Peace River
Farms Co, by Edwin Spencer, Jr.
"This property consists OF some
twelve thousand acres, situated be-
tween Dundee and Winter Haven, to-
gether with all the stock and appur'
tenances, consisting of cattle, hogs,
tractors, implements, etc. About hall
the tract is muck land, of which about
1.40O acres are under cultivation; the
remainder is very fine citrus land.
aMr. Spencer will develop this prop
erty, and undoubtedly will make a
most profitable speculation Of It.

 The Executive Committee has called to take his place as General Secretary, MT. H. c. Cridland of Dayton, Ohio. MT. Cridland has served the t h Montgomery County .(Ohio) Sunday School Associa- tion with Dayton as head quarters, for six years. From here he went to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he served the Hennipen County Associa- tion in the same capacity. Last summer he left Mime dpolis, and returned to Day ton to serve his denomination as office manager in preparing for the financial drive con- ducted a few weeks ago, in cooperation with the Inter- Church World Movement.
 The new General Secretary arrived in Little Rock a week ago, and has been spending his time in conference with MT. James relative to the con- Hilton and activities of the State Association. His active service as General Secretary for the state begins June 1, and he is hoping to meet many of the Sunday School workers of the State in his attendance up- on the forty County Sunday School Conventions which will be held during the summer months.

SURVEY TO BE MADE

Little Rock, June, 1-The Arkansas Federation of Wom- en's Clubs and the Arkansas Public Health Association have just perfected arrange ments for a sanitary survey of the schools of the state. The survey is authorized by the State Departments of Health and Education and will be under the chairmaship of Mrs. c. w. Garrison of the Fed erated Clubs. The Public Health Association is getting out a very complete question 1aire which will be sent to the district club charimen of health in a few days, and in Crder to expedite matters, they are requested to make. report directly to the Arkansas Pub- lie Health Association. It is planned to finish the survey by the first of November.
 This work has been taken up because workers in the health and educational fields have realized for a long time that unsanitary school con- ditions are affecting t h e health of the children. Field workers report that in many places toilet facilities were neither adequate nor proper. Buildings are overcrowded and poorly lighted and ventl- lated. In some the children are facing the light, and in others the water supply is re- ported not adequate. Ere
 quent reports of this character have led to this study of con- ditions on an extended scale.

The State Tax Rate

In these days of high prices and bur-
densome taxes of various kinds, it is
with a great deal of satisfaction and JOY
that the people of this state flearn that
the State tax rate for the next two
wears will be two cents lower.
In these abnormal times, anything
that helps the taxpayer and. at the
same time keeps our State and County
in the vanguard of progress. is always
received with satisfaction.
We congratulate the Governor upon
the wise and business-like manner in
which he made up his budget which,
while lowering the tax rate, makes pro-
visions for necessary increases in salar-
les, thereby insuring, we believe, ef-
ficient men in office. The Governor will
fully justify the increase in salaries ne
has made by appointment to the various
Offices, especially where increases in
salaries have been made. the most eff
Gent and able meE that can be had.

GERMANY'S TERRIBLE PLIGHT

In the ordinary course of bus
mess the other day a prominent
Columbus broker executed a com.
mission to buy three bonds of the
city Of Cologne. The par value
OF three municipal bonds in our
money in normal times was So, 0OO
and the three together cost the
purchaser the other day $50.
He bought them thinking per-
haps they would be worth some
thing some day.
The incident illustrates the
terrible plight in which Germany
finds herself with her own colos-
sal war debt, the vast indemni-
ties charged against her. her
commerce wiped out, her domes-
tic industrial activities shot to
pieces, her food supply short,
millions of her men killed and
her good name gone. We can
imagine her pitiable condition and
her dark outlook by rejecting
upon what the situation would
haveto be in this country before
a 81, 900 bond of Cleveland or
Columbus would sell for less than
s18 in the financial markets of
the world. Not in justice to Ger.

selves should the Allies be leni-
ent in enforcing damage claims

hopeless nation. Ohio State

REDUCED FOOD SUPPLY
THREATENED BY SHORTAGE
OF FARM LABOR

The farm population has de-
creased 3 per cent in the asst
year in some States and available
farm labor has decreased II per
cent, according to estimates by
the Federal Department of Agri-
culture.
Reduced food production is
threatened because of the labor
shortage, the high cost of nipple
ments and supplies and the move
ment from farming communities
to the cities, the department
warns in its latest statement.
Investigations concluded Feb
ruary l. indicate a considerable
increase in farm wages for 1920
although the wages in 1919 were
IN many cases 80 per cent. high
er than before the war.
Of the tendency to avoid a
heavy farm payroll, the depart.
ment's statement says;
Numerous letters to the De-
partment of Agriculture from its
field workers or from farmers
indicate widespread disposition
to cut down paintings, so that
the work of cultivating can be at
tended to by the farmer himself
or by members of his family
The assertion that farmers can
not pay the high wages demand
ed in competition with other in
dustries and make a profit on
their products is frequently
made. Many farmers also de-
clared it is unfair to them to be
under the necessity of working
10, II or more hours day, when
the tendency in other industries
is toward shorter working day
and a decreased output"

A State Memorial

About year ago there were many
suggestions as to suitable state mem
orial in honor of the soldiers and sailors
who made the supreme sacrifice in the
Great War. Lately the question has
been revived and it is likely that some
definite plan will be worked out in the
near future.
Among the plans proposed, that sug-
gested by Senator Metzerott of Prince
Georges County has some novel feat
ures. His proposal is to widen the
bouelevart between Baltimore ard
Annapolis and to make it memorial
highway. From the Hanover Street
Bridge, one of the finest approaches to
Baltimore to the proposed new bridge
across the Severn near Annapolis is a
distance of approximately twenty-three
miles, or a mile for each county of the
State. There would be a general pla n
of identifying the highway by the
planting of trees, shrubbery and flowers
DUL G6CU sGCLiUu WOuHA NC given oOA1S
distinctive treatment representative
of the county it represents by the cree
ton of markers, monuments and other
special features.
Such memorial would be perma-
nent living expression, growing more
beautiful with the passing years. Is not
this much more satisfying tribute to
our honorod dead and one more truly
representative of the whole State than
a marble shaft or building of stone?
The proposed memorial highway ia
already an improved State road, travers :
ing a most picturesque part of the coun-
try. As this section is not highly de-
veloped it would not be difficult to widen
the road way which beautified as pro-
posed would constitute one of the most
beautiful and attractive drive-ways in
the country.
