MURRAY

A well known stage and screen
player was engaged as leading man
for Alice Calhoun, the popular Vita
graph star in CLOSED Doors which

Thursday.
He is Harry c. Browne, whose ca
reer includes long engagements on
stage, screen and comic opera. He
spent nine years in stock and roper
toire companies, including Shakes
pearian classic and modern plays.
These prepared an excellent founda-
ton for later achievements. He was
male lead in the first road produc-
ton companies of Arizona 'ZaZa"
and "Magda," winning for himself an
enviable reputation and calling his
work to the attention of some OF the
greatest stage stars of the day.
Edith Tanaferro engaged him as her

TAKE FISH WHILE sTUPEFiED
Natives of the Fiji Islands Have Most
Peculiar Method of Sharing
the Finny Tribe.

An extraordinary means of catching
fish is practiccd by natives of the Fiji
islands. The bait is "tooya," native
vine or creeper.7 Having pounded
lengths of vine into pulp, the fisher
men paddle out over coral reefs. In
about II to Is feet of water they dive
and fasten bundles of 'toova' around
rocks and crevices where fish are
known to be.
In few minutes all fish within a
radius of six to eight feet turn over on
their backs and float up to the sur
face. They are scooped up into the
boats, and soon their tails begin to
wiggle. If thrown back into the water
the fish return to normal condition.
The poisoning of water in this coun-
try is not uncommon. The weed buck

Paper Money Ths. Is Lost.

From figures available it is esti.
mated that bills of larger denomina
tions are not frequently lost Prob
ably not more than three-tenths of l
per cent of them fail to return. TAX
ing it altogether, it is estimated that,
aside from the shinplasters that were
lost, there has been about 100000
worth of paper money that went out
of the treasury and never came back.
These were United States notes and

Lend Farmers
Two Billions

the proceeds of such loans have been
applied by the borrowing banks for
agricultural purposes, but it is impos-
sible to state the amount.
Conditions Similar in Other Banks.
"The same is true with respect to
loans made by member banks in Chi
cago, st. Louis, Minneapolis, Kansas
City, New Orleans and other financial
centers throughout the country. Nom
member State banks lend large sums
in the aggregate for agricultural pur-
poses. But as they have no dealings
with the Federal Reserve banks their
loans to farmers are not reflected in
the figures furnished by the Federal
Reserve banks, although it is a fact
that all Federal Reserve banks have
been lending large amount to mem
Der banks, which have in turn redis-
counted paper for nonmember banks.
1T should be borne in mind also
that the total amount of farmers notes
rediscounted by Federal Reserve
banks gives no Indication of the
amount advanced by the Federal Re
serve banks to finance the production
and sale of farm products, since large
amounts advanced to member banks
in other districts on commercial and
industrial paper are used by these
banks for loans to agricultural inter-
ests. Only the Federal Reserve banks
Of Richmond, Atlanta, st. Louis and
Minneapolis have taken account of
loans of this character by increasing
proportionately the amounts formally
classed as farmers paper.
'In view of these facts, it is evident
that the compilation transmitted here
with is valuable merely as indicating
the increased amount of agricultural
paper rediscounted by the Federal Re-
serve banks for member banks during
the year 1920 over the year 1919.
