A Monkey Paradise

From "A Camera Man in Borneo," by
 Martin Johnson. in Asia Magazine.
 A few days later. we set out on our first excursion into the jungles or Borneo. We crossed the bay in the launch and then chugged up beautiful river. For 50 feet back from each bank it was lined with great fern-like nipa- palms. Then the jungle began, and such jungle I had never seen before. Nam moth trees stood as close together as they could grow, so covered with vlnes and parasite roots that the trunks were completely hidden. Only here and there some giant shot up fifty or hundred feet above the rest of the jungle. It was a monkey paradise. At the roots or the nipa-palms were ground monkeys. Racing to and fro in the high trees anu swinging from the branches were mon keys of every sort and size ana shape
 red monkeys and gray monkeys Una. looked like mandrills: big-nosed monkeys with long shouts that make them looh as if they had tried to grow trunks; brown monkeys without tails and ilttle l black ones that seemed to be all tall

 Do not employ their wit Wheneer they go to see show
 In poking fun at it; Though often they're disposed, no

 To treat the drama rough, And with a punch express their hunCn

preliminary organization affected.
The demonstration tract near Vale
was inspected and found TO be still
quito badly alkalied after the first
seasons work. With the exception
OF a few plats. n stand OF rye had
not been secured from the seeding
done in September. Very little
sweet clover was TO be found. Two
visits were made TO the southeast
drainage district west OF Ontario TO
inspect the construction work In
progress there by means OF sluicing.
Good progress Is being made altho
some difficulty had been experienced
in cutting thru the hard pan stratas.
Also a mistake In location was made
and the canal outlet had TO be re-
made after considerable work had
been done. The cost, however. Is
far less than the dredging method
and will probably be less as the work
advances and experience is gained
by the workmen.
Some time was spent ON livestock
feeding work in company with II. A.
Lindgren, extension specialist In
livestock husbandry. Several feed
ers and other parties interested In
the development OF the industry
we're visited and arrangements made
with three men TO keep cost records.

Washington, ID. c.. Aug. 9.
All Government departments soon will
be operating under regulations forbid
ding the appearance Of former officials
OF the Wilson Administration as attor-
neys or agents In claims cases which
arose or were pending during their ser
vice with the Government, it was
to-day.
Not only Is Attorney General Daugh-
erty preparing to enforce in his own
department the old law of 1873 barring
OF two years after they leave office from
prosecuting claims of this kind against
the Government, but he is advising other
Government department heads who have
made inquiries on the subject, to do the
same. AS exclusively reported by THE
New YORK HERALD this morning, the
Attorney-General and Republican leaders
In Congress have made up their minds
to stop this practice so far as the law
and the authority of departmental reg
ulations will allow md to press for the
early passage of the Edmonds bill to
stiffen up the prohibtory statute. section
1870, Revised Statutes of the United
States. by providing penalty and ex-
tending its provisions to federal com
missions. boards, bureaus and courts.
1t has been charged by outside attor-
neys that an attempt is being made by
the scores of former Government off
cials who have entered tho pra ctice of
law here to monopolize Government
practice. One New York lawyer recently
told a high official of the Department of
Justice that 1t did not seem to be pos
sible to get action by the departments
unless one of these former officials was
employed as counsel.
The NEW YORK HERALD is informed
that group of New York lawyers has
strongly urged the passage of the Ed
monds bill. They are represented as
being in a hostile mood over the ap-
parent monopoly enjoyed by practition-
ers in Washington who were officials of
the former Administration in litigation
before Government departments. Their
d1spleasure has been made known 10
some of the highest officials OF the
Harding Administration.
Attorney General Daugherty is deter
mined to remedy this condition.
AS one step toward this end Mr..
Daugherty has readopted. without a sin

regulations framed by a committee Of
