opment of telegraphic and telephone
communication, the development of
electric power, the construction of
harbor at Haifa, the drainage of
swamps, and afforestation on suitable
lands. 1t is evident that a systematic
and scientific plan is being followed
to make Palestine habitable for
large number of immigrants.
AS result of the work of santa
ton, water conservation, irrigation,
afforestation, and other public works
now being carried on, tremendous
development is possible agricultural
ly, industrially, and commercially.
Palestine can eventually contain
large population Almonds and olives
are raised plentifully, the latter MAX
ing possible the development of the
olive oil industry. The diversified
character of the soil makes the grow
ing of practically all kinds of fruits
profitable, the most important of
which are the citrus fruits, oranges,
lemons, ct cetera. Almost every
species of vegetable, grain, and tobac-
co are now grown or can be grown.
All branches of agriculture, including
dairying, poultry farming, and stock
raising can be engaged in. Even the
bee industry is rapidly growing at
the present time. Jerusalem is be-
coming wool center, and there are
possibilities for the development of
a great wooden industrial center in
Palestine. Lately there have been
persistent reports that rich oil fields
are to be found in Palestine. These
rumors are somewhat substantiated
by the announcement of the building
OF soap and oil factory near Haifa
by large English company. Pales-
tine is rich enough in natural re-
sources to easily support large pop
ulatiOn.
Sanitation
Sanitation has been effected for the
last two years by the American Zion
list Medical Unit, whose American
doctors, under the direction of Dr. /.
M. Rubinow, a New York physician,
are doing remarkable work in COM
batting disease. This unit has had
almost 100000 visits paid to it's clinics
from May, 1919, through May, 1920.
The four hospitals maintained by it at
Jerusalem, Jaffa, Liberals and Safed,
took care of over 1000 patients dur
ing this period. Altho the unit is
essentially a Jewish organization, no
racial nor religious distinctions are
made in it's work, Moslems and Chris
tians being treated on the same basis
as Jews. In localities where the hos
pitfalls and clinics are located in es-
sentially Moslem communities, large
percentage of the patients is Arabic
In Safed almost one-third of the
clinic patients were Arabs. In Heb
ron there were over twice as many
Arab as Jewish patients. The doc
tors and nurses recruited from the
nurses training school at Jerusalem
are devoting good deal of their time
now to school hygiene, teaching
school children how to take care of
themselves, and instructing the teach
ers in modern sanitary methods. Over
5000 school children were given ex-
aminations during May alone.
With the cooperation of the gov
eminent in the anti-malarial cant
paigns, the sanitarians will reach the
entire population. With the drainage
of swamps, with the terracing Of the
mountains and hills of Judea so that
the rain water should have chance

THEIR FUR SMOOTH
National League Magnates Sign
National Agreement.
Judge Lands Recognized as
Chief by Minors, Too.

New York, Dec. 13.-Fur on the
major league backs has been smoothed
by new national agreement that has
been approved by a committee and
most likely will be ratified this week.
The direction of the bristles on the
minors backs will not be known until
January 10, when a new agreement
handed to them yesterday by the ma
jors is acted upon.
After a two-day pow WOW between
the majors and the minors, presided
over by Judge Lands, two agreements
were accepted yesterday-one affect
ing relations between major league
clubs and another between the ma lOr
and minor leagues.
The major league agreement, eff
fective for twenty-five years, recog
nizes Judge Lands as the supreme
power of baseball with the jurisdiction
to settle all disputes and to mete out
punishment to leagues, clubs or indi-
viduals.
Claiming that by refusing to sell its
players and by eSca ping the draft, the
Baltimore club has a major league
team, five of the other clubs have an
nounced their intention of fighting for
the restoration of the draft with the
majors.

IN some farm operations, in

TN some farm operations, in
l. many manufacturing lines,
and, more particularly, in refining
and distribution of petroleum
products, large scale operations
are essential to insure maximum
economy and service.
The production of crude oilvaries
but little on account of seasonal
changes, and the refining pro-
cesses are continuous operations.
The consumption of petroleum
products, however, varies widely
with the season. In summer, con-
sumption far out-strips produc-
ton, while during the winter
months the reverse is true.
To prepare himself for the summer rush,
the oil rehner, who is ambitious to render
a maximum service, must operate his re-
hneries at full capacity throughout the
year, and must provide adequate storage
to take care of his surplus output during
the winter months, and store it against
a day of maximum demand when the
country roads and city boulevards are
crowded with machines, and the farmer
has his tractor in the field.
To perform this service requires the
investment of huge sums of money,
and the maintenance of a complete
organization at all times.
The Standard Oil Company Qndiana)
is ambitious to be leader in the petro-
leum industry. 1t is ambitious to render
to the people of the Middle West as
near a perfect service as care, thought,
and adequate resources can devise.
In carrying on its business, the Company
has invested more than 1876 million
dollars; it operates four large rehneries
in which it manufactures the many
varieties of petroleum products needed
by the consuming public.
1t operates 1915 bulk stations, more
than 1000 filling stations, and fleet of
nearly 1000 tank delivery trucks.
Its permanent organization consists of
about $4,000 efficient, loyal men and
women, working under one head, to
render service which makes it possible
for you to get a gallon of gasoline, or
quart of Oil, or pound of grease, when
you want it, and wherever you may be.

TIME REQUIRED FOR REPUBLI-
CANS TO GET ACTION.

Although Harding and a republican
congress are elected. the people must
realize that it will require consider
able time to get the republican pro-
gram of legislation in action. The
first great result has been accom-
plished in the restoration of public
confidence but it will be four months
before Harding takes over the execu-
tive department of the government.
and it will probably he another month
before the new congress can be called
together Several weeks will then be
required for congress to formulate
and enact the most vital legislation
that is needed. But next summer will
see the republican program of recon
struction well under way, with new
laws for the welfare of the public
swiftly following each other

THE PERFECT MAN.

proportions Of the perfect man and
the perfect woman. and naturally
they have dealt with physical charac-
teristics alone But DR.. Nicholas Muir
ray Butler of Columbia, believing that
the end OF education is the sound
mind in the sound body has set out to
name six points that distinguish the
supposedly perfect man as an educat-
ed product from the uneducated This
effort of mental appraisement will find
few to disagree with the standards
set up. In the first place, precision in
the use of ones mother tongue is set
down as a necessitated primary ac-
quirement. The use of good English
as a tool Of trade and a means of pro
fessional as we'll as social communi-
cation is a much neglected accom-

THE SMALL INVESTOR.
Denver Mining Recordl


Nothing makes money faster than a
good mine or a producing oil well. Is
il any wonder that mining stocks and
oil stocks are so popular with the
small investor? The man with a few
hundred dollars to invest knows that
this money will not bring him wealth
in a savings bank or a per cent bond
He does know that stock in a prospect
that develops into a mine or in a wild
cat that becomes a gusher may bring
him a small fortune overnight He is
willing to take a chance on fortune
and he does not cry when he loses if
he has had a square deal.
The man who has saved up his few
hundred dollars for investment sell
dom needs a guardian If he can not
invest where he pleases he doesn't in
vest. When he buys bonds he buys
the best-those issued by Uncle Sam.
He knows that the greatest dividend
payers in the mining camps and oil
fields We're once wildcat territory. The
dollars of small investors developed
their riches and made these investors
wealthy. An the big dividend payers
have not been discovered There are
new ones in the making Small in
gestors are getting their share of our
natural resources

COUNTRY MUST HAVE MORE
DRASTIC IMMIGRATION LAWS.

When congress meets on December
one of the first matters that should
receive consideration is amending the
immigration laws in order to stop the
swelling tide of undesirablos who are
landing at New York at the rate Of
about 5000 a day According to per-
sons who claim to be familiar with
the situation, most of the arrivals
represent the undesirable class at
home. 1t is even charged that there
are organizations abroad which make
it their business to facilitate the de-
parture to this country of those whose
presence is not wanted in Europe.
The total immigration last year was
only 141.1S2 but if the present rate
continues it viii mean the landing on
our shores of more than a million and
a half new arrivals year a large
percentage of whom are leaving their
country for their countiys good 1t
is from these that the forces of rad
icalism are being recruited in this
country. and it is from this source
that the cheap labor comes to under
mine the American standard of
wages. The danger from this element
presents one of the most serious prob
lens now confronting the nation
When the present immigration law
was passed there was much discus
sion regarding the literacy test the
contention being made that it was too
severe and would operate to keep out
desirable immigrants. It's practical
operation has proved that it is not
severe enough and must now be sup
plemented by a more drastic amend
ment

Heligoland. the German fortress in
the North sea, is fast disappearing.
and the Heligoland of 1890. the year
in which Great Britain exchanged the
islands for rights on the East African
coast is reappearing.
The change has been brought about
by the inter-alled naval and military
mission which. under the peace treaty
is charged with the demolition of the
military and naval works on the is
land During the IS years the Ger
mans were in possession they forti-
fed it at a cost of S175.OOO. 600.
Artificial cliffs were constructed
and the area of the island was in

mouth of which it stands) and de-
posting the material on Helgoland.
Great gun emplacements were con-
structed, harbors were made for war
craft and later airship sheds were
built
Now they have all gone
The great 12-inch guns have been

PREPARE FOR TOURIST TRAVEL
NEXT SEASON.

Il is no longer necessary TO indulge
in argument to convince the people of
Wallace, Mullan and Kellogg of the
value of tourist travel to the district
The season just closed has been a
practical demonstration and it re-
mains to be seen whether public
spirit will manifest itself to the ex-
tent Of attracting more tourists over
the Yellowstone trail next season.
There is of course no definite inform
alton regarding the amount of money
tourists leave in the several towns Of
the district during the season, but
there is no doubt that the amount is
sufficient to justify the preparation
and maintenance of free camp ground /
and accommodations. Important as
this feature is, it is in the long run of .

, 10000 Japanese children born in
> California in 1929 as against 10000
white children. At the same ratio
the majority of the population of Cal
ifornia would be Japanese in 1949.
With these figures in mind, the i'm
portance of the problem to California
can readily be seen California is a
part of the United States The prob
lem is therefore distinctly a national
one. Already the Japanese are spread
ing into Utah and Idaho, with
sprinkling in other states. 1t seems
evident that both Governor Cox and
Senator Harding are wise in taking
definite stand for elimination of this
menace. 1t threatened an open rup-
ture with Japan in 1907, again in 1913
and required an official warning from
Secretary Lansing during the peace
negotiations to prevent trouble
Such threats as that of the veteran
Japanese statesman Viscount Kaneko
on June II Of this year indicate that
it is increasing in danger. He said:
Japan has borne patiently a long
series of attacks upon the legal rights
OF the Japanese in California, but the
limit of endurance has been very
nearly reached"
American endurance also has its
limits We devoutly hope neither the
Japanese limit nor the American will
be reached
