The story deals with a young wo-

in Australia, meets a mysterious
death. She finds some papers
which seem to prove that the hus-
band is heir to a vast English es-

heir appears and it is only after
several stirring developments that
the widow ome to u realization of
the truth. She is about to give up
the estate when the real heir avowS
his love and both are happy.
Miss Clayton is delightful as the
widow, while Rockcliffe Fellowes,
who played the roles of the bush
rider and heir, amply proved his
versatility as leading nan The pic

If the farmer does not care to deliver it immediately he can stack it up in his own yard, and 1t will keep in definitely without deterioration or loss.

 The following claims are made for the production of flax fibre from Amer ican-grown fax straw. produced under the Robinson process, all of which can be verified on investigation.
 The flax will produce in seed from to 16 bushels to the acre, 56 pounds to the bushel, 20 per cent in finished fibre and 80 per cent in cattle food, there being no loss whatever in the plant.
 The crop has a lighter draft on the soil than almost any other crop and wheat following flax is improved both

Trees That Make New Land

tation has hitherto dared to venture. The little mangrove is not discour- aged, but forces it's roots into the soft limestone of the coral and rapidly be- gins to spread and grow.
 It is sociable little plant and likes company. Birds, ocean currents and winds bring seeds from distant shores. The mangrove catches this stray vege- tation in the meshes of it's tangled roots which spread over wide area. These seeds begin to germinate and a future tropical juncle is in the mak- ing.
 After the mangrove had collected sufficient earth and vegetation in its net work of roots the fruits of the CO., coanut palm find congenial home. When these owerfng trees appear above the mangroye swamp, ringing the border of the island on which the first pioneer plant took root, human habitation is possible.
 The oil of the cocoanut supplies a safe drink to the thirsty mariner. The wood and leaves of the palm can be

Generation afer generation of scien- lists and chemists the world over en- deavored to perfect method that would enable the world to obtain flax fibre in shorter, more economical and better way, but all efforts proved to no avail, until William Jay Robinson perfected synthetic process known as the Robinson Process. The amazing feature of this process is that 1t does in one hour and much better the work that takes the farmers from six to 16 weeks to accomplish. It is claimed that the new synthetic process is to the linen industry what the cotton gin was to the cotton growers.
 The New Process.
 MT. Robinson in his process takes the dried flax straw as 1t comes from the field and passes it through 8 so- called deceeding and de-shiving ma chine. This machine consists of number of plain and corrugated sur faced metal rolls, known as touch rolls" The first rolls are so adjusted as to crack the seed bolls and as the straw passes through the seeds drop down. The rolls crack the wood of the stalk without cutting the fibre, loosening. and freeing to great extent the pith or shive of the straw from the fibre. This, like the seed, drops down, and the fibre, called green line. as it comes from the machine, while still containing the gums, is almost free from the shive or woody part of the straw.
 The most important part of the new retinue of the linen industry now takes place. The green line Is baled and shipped to central processing plant, where it is treated to the Robinson process. This consists principally in submerging the green line fibre in what MT. Robinson calls a non-chem- ical, vegetable solution, which is prin- cipally obtained from the by-products of the flax itself.
 The flax is left in the solution for Is minutes, at a temperature of about 1S0 degrees Fahrenheit. The fibre is then washed in warm water and soured in a souring solution. It is then washed in cold water and dried. After drying the fibre is passed through another set of rolls, which softens it., whereupon 1t is ba1ed and sold to the manufactur- CT.
 l It has been proven by the Bureau oi : Standards, at Washington, that the , fibre produced under the Robinson , Process is better and stronger than that produced under the old process, } the comparative tensile strength being 1S3 grams for the new process and 115

grams for the fibre produced under the old methods.
 Although comparatively few are aware of the fact, fibre flax was grown successfully in Maryland last season. It was intended as planting, but the crop when harvested was greater than what the growers thought 1t would be. It has been stated that both Maryland and Delaware are ideal states for the flax industry, and nearly every day meetings are held in various towns throughout these states in an effort to interest the farmers and revive the flax industry in this country.
 Easy to Grow.
 In the early days every farm in Delaware grew fax in large quantities, and it is being revived today because the field crop will give greater cash than is received for any other field crop grown today.
 Flax will grow successfully wher- ever wheat, corn and oats will, and, planted as soon as the danger of frost is past, requires no more labor in the preparation of the soil than does any other small grain crop. It natures in from 70 to 90 days, thus giving back to the farmer his land in time to either produce another crop thereon during the same year, or for the most careful and exacting farmer to thoroughly work and firm his soil in preparation for his crop of Winter wheat.
 As farmers know, the crop after be- ing cut must remain in the field for several days to cure and dry. Then it can be delivered immediately to the stackyard of the concern which will buy up the flax.

land, England, Scotland, France, Bel gium and Holland is too small to hope to produce anything like an adequate supply of flax fibre. The cotton inter- ests are now awakening to the possi- bilities of producing linen cheaper than cotton through these processes. and have lately developed considerable activity concerning the outlook. It is said that the yield of flax is nearly twice that of cotton and the cost of production at least 50 per cent less.
 There is no reason why America should not become the greatest linen manufacturing country in the world. We have every advantage in climate. soil, water, people and ingenuity. The disturbed political conditions. and the shortage of raw product in Ireland would be sufficient inducement to bring to America a large number of the Irish linen manufacturers, with their trained operatives and machin- cry, as well as a large number of Irish farmers from the north of Ireland. who are experts in the growth of flax, just as soon as a sufficient amount of fax is grown to insure a supply of raw material.
 Even if Russia were again to become the great flax producing country which it once was, under imperial edict, we can grow flax, and prepare flax fibre in America, as by-product, where the feed and oil alone will take care of all the costs.
