SOUP ONLY FOR WEALTHY.

The strike among the makers of birds nest soup at Hongkong will only affect the wel-to-do classes, as birds nests are their special pre- serve, remarks the London Morn ing Post.
 Few callings are more dangerous than that of the men who collect the nests on the steep cliffs of the coast of Java. The nests are made of kind of seaweed, quite soft and like pulp; it's builder adds layers until she has built her nest large enough. The nests are tasteless, but the cook puts in so many spices that they are most palatable when they are served up. In Japan mock birds nests are made of the same seaweed, which is beaten soft and boiled into a jelly.

MINT MAKES RECORD
Production of Silver Dollars
 Being Speeded Up

Philadelphia, Aug. 2233-The Philadelphia mint, which to- day has reached the greatest production in it's history, is cutting down the inerest bear ing debt of the United States $5,O00,000 a month, according to officials of the institution. Incidentally a new record has been set in the coining of silver dollars, upon which the energies of the plant have been concentrated in order to replace the $50,000,000 coins of that denomination melted down udring the war and sold to the English as bullion. The average production for the last moth, it was declared, has been 260,000 silver dollars a day.
 After melting the coins sold as bullion, the government was obliged to call in all silver cer- tiiicates covered by them, as under the law the treasury riust hold a silver dollar for each certificate issued. To cover the loss in currency, short term certificates of in- debtedness bearing two per cent interest were issued. The dollars now being coined per- nit the issuance of new silver certificates which are being used in calling in the certifi- cates of indebtedness.
 The Philadelphia plant is turning out as much as the governments two other hints, but nevertheless, it probably will take two years to replace the coins melted.

TO AID EX-SERVICE MEN
War Risk Squad Will Visit
 This County Soon

A cleanup squad from the United States government bureau of war risk insurance, working out of Dallas, Texas will make a tour of the prin- cipal towns of Arkansas this month, and will be in Bates vile August 24-25, and will establish an office at the Chamber of Commerce.
 Batesville will be chosen as Headquarters for the counties of Independence, Jackson Stone, Baxter, Izard, Sharp and Fulton, and will be the only town in the district which they will make.
 The purpose of the tour is to enable the district manag- CT to come in closer contact with all ex-service men who have been disabled during their service i'll the late war. and who either through igno- rance of the law or timidity have not filed their claims for compensation.
 This squad will have a rep 1esentative of the American Legion with them and will as sist all who apply in making out their claims in the proper form, and will render such services as are necessary, to get their claims before the bureau of war risk insurance. EX-service men who are en- titled to compensation should take note of this visit and be ready to apply to the squad during their visit here.
