miles there are other measures of dis tance, not counting the French kilo- meter, which is rather less than two thirds of mile. The Brazilians have a miIia that is one and one-fourth times as long as our mile; the Neopol- itan miglio is about the same length the Japanese ri is about two and one half times as long as our mile; the Russian verst, five-eighths as long. The Persian standard is farsakh, about four miles long, which is not far from the supposed length of the parasang, so familiar to every school boy who has read Xenophon's "Ana- basis" The distance indicated by the league also varies in different coun- tries.

GOVERNMENTS FORECAST

Government report forecasts big crops for 1920. It is estimated that there will be SO0,O00,O00 bushels of wheat, 9,0O0,O00 bushels of corn and a large increase in the produc- tion of potatoes estimated at about 36000,0OO bushels over last year.
 The degree of comfort to be ex- tracted from these official figures is equalied only by the compliment which they convey to the farmers of America, who are doing their duty with undiminished earnestness and patriotic determination, despite the pressure of difficulties and complexi- ties. So after all the ravens croak is to be drowned in thepaeans of praise at the coming harvest time for the triumph of the farmers of America.

A rumor in the automobile world to the effect that prices of cars had recently been reduced in Omaha has been found incorrect. Investigations shows that there has been no actual reductions in the prices of new cars but there is hope in the fact that pro- posed advances by manufacturers have been temporarily deferred.

pressed by Mr.. Frank P. Smith, pro-
| nrletor of the Penn Square Kennels,
he added the following eloquent
tribute paid by the late U. S. Sen
atOr George G.. Vest, of Missouri,
said to have been the most feeling
tribute to dog ever paid:

when he needs it most. A mans
reputation may be sacrificed in a
moment Of ill-considered action.
The people who are prone to fall on
their knees to do us honor when
success is with us may be the first
to throw the stone of malice when
failure settles its cloud upon our

his dog.

winds blow and the snow drives

CHAMPION FISH STORY

Here's the champion fish story OF
the season, although the season is
not so very old just yet:
While fishing on the "rocky
shore on StOner Creek, few miles
from Paris, Jerry Wilson, colored
fisherman, made what is perhaps
the most remarkable catch that has
been recorded among local fisher
men. Wilson was fishing without a
cork, and felt a slight nibble, like an
electric thrill, running from the tip
of his fishing rod. He drew i'm the
line and was astonished to find firm
ly attached to the hook a string of
fish, comprising two large bass. five
catfish and Dream of good size. All
OF the fish were still alive, and had
evidently been recently caught. The
fish which bit at the bait was the
last one on the string. They had
evidently escaped from some fisher
man up stream a short time before.
and had fioated down to where they
become Internationally on their part
or on the part of Wilson, his game.
There is no chance now for the
owner to indemnity them
