From, Dan to Beershebu

The colonies are for the greater part
agricultural settlements. They dot the
landscape from Beersheba in the south
to Dan in the north. Some of them
date back forty years and more, though
the majority of them were founded
within the last twenty years. Many
owe their creation to the generosity
of Sir Moses Montetiore, Baron Ed
mund de Rothschild and other wealthy
Jews Land was purchased and Jews
from all parts of Europe were encour-
aged to settle on it,
At first the colonists had a very hard
struggle. Under Turkish rule there
were virtually no laws, and the colo
nlsts had to police their own settlements
to prevent the rowing Bedouins carry
ing off their goods and cattle. There
were no sanitary arrangements and no
attempts whatever to keep down malaria
by hghting the mosquitoes or the dis
OF all proportion were demanded by
the Turkish government, and alto
gether there was precious little en-
couragement for the Jew to undertake
farming in the land of his forefathers.
Yet the colonists throve, largely
owing to the use of machinery and the
more up-to-date methods employed.
This is evidenced by comparing the
yields of their crops with those of
their Arab neighbors. With the Arabs
the cereals (wheat and barley yield
an average gross produce OF about ef
an acre; in the better Jewish colonies
the fields yield up to - TO ss an
acre and more. In Arab orange groves
$50 cases of oranges an acre arc con-
sidered a very good average crop,
whereas the yield from Jewish groves
IS 10 to 60 per cent more. Jewish
vine Alanters also obtain double the

The St. Lawrence Project
Drawbacks To Be Considered Wit
Reference to Ship Canal

NcielenCe 10 Ohlp lanai
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Before the United States builds
the st. Lawrence ship canal and power
plant we should discuss few pertinent
facts. Is it economical 10 send large
oceangoing steamers 4 long trip up
river, canal and lake to lake ports?
This trip is slow and more danger
Gus for large than small vessels, as
large vessels are hard to handle in mar
row waters. Will it involve increased
insurance? Will owners assume the
risks of delay of the larger investment
in expensive oceangoing steamers
rather than permit the inland carriage
to be done by railroad and the cheaper
! lake and Erie Canal lines? Can steamer
owners secure the same diversified gen
eral cargo at lake ports as at Atlantic
ports or will they get only bulk car
goes of grain and four-when there is
any? If diversified general cargoes go
to lake ports by rail then the rail
freight must be added to the lake
!
costs with Atlantic ports.
Owners of liner steamers require in
their service regularity and as short
round trip as possible; the establish
ment of a clientele of passengers and
shippers, covering a large area and
drawing freight from many trades, SO
that large tonnage can be booked ahead.
Mere bulk cargo-grain, cotton, -four
and coal-must be competed for at
lowest freight rates. 1t has no friend
ships; no remembrance of good and
quick service. If lines depended on
such tonnage alone they would starve.
Perishable cargo and higher class goods
and manufactures pay higher rates.
Regular lines often have full ships
when bulk cargo steamers at lake and
Atlantic ports might be unable to get
any cargo. The point is, an Atlantic
port names rate, good all the year
round, and the shipper can ship any
time; but the lake port cannot during
winter. At the end of the season goods
may be hung up if they miss the last
ship.
The demand for the St. Lawrence
Canal seems to come from Western
shippers of bulk cargo, who want lower
lake and canal or lake and rail
freights. The problem is simple. How
low can such cargo be carried at a
profit by lake and rail or by well
equipped lake and Erie Canal lines? I
exclude liner steamers entirely as too
expensive.
Can cargo tramps make a profit on
the long trip and compete with lake
and canal boats for the cost of the
saving in unloading and loading from
lake steamer and canal boat? Why
should large fleets of large canal boats
not travel from New York to Duluth
and do it cheaper than a cargo
steamer? Would a tramp cargo steamer
take chance of ice, perhaps to be
stuck all winter and lose six months
business on the ocean? If lake freights
were low would it go up the lakes at all ?
Would cargo steamers pay in addi-
tion fair tonnage charge to the United
States, covering the cost of the invest
ment in the ship canal? Or would this
be more than the present loading and
unloading charge from lake and canal
boat? H. N.

Not by the Sea
(Fron. Horper'sl

From Horpcr's)
MOT by the sea, but somewhere in the
hills,
Not by the sea, but in the uplands
surely
There must be rest, where a dim pool
demurely
Watches all night the far, slow-moving
skies;
Not by the sea, that never was appeased,
Not by the sea, whose immemorial long
ing
Shames the tired earth where even
longing dies;
Not by the sea, that bore Iseult and
Helen
But in dark-green hollow of the hills
There must pc sleep, even for sleep
less eyes.

Jewish Progress in Palestine
Evidence Of the Spirit of Enterprise Both Agricultural
Industrial Development
(From The Manchester Cuor1ion)
Copyright, 1921. Rev York Tribune II

What are the Jews doing in Pales-
tine? Representatives Of the native
population are now in London, plead
ing that the land must not be given
to the Jews.
Yet we Great Britain accepted the
mandate to administer the country on
the understanding that we would assist
the Jew to establish in it his national
home, and at the same time see that
the rights Of the Arabs and other
native races were not interfered with.
The task has been trying one. There
have been strong anti-Zionist demon
strations, rioting and even bloodshed.
But it is interesting to note how the
Jews have quietly gone on with their
plans and how they are rapidly estab-
fishing themselves in the land.
When war broke ont there were some
fortyfive Jewish colonies in Palestine
To-day there are seventy-two, owning
among them 10000 acres of land
Hundreds of Jews have settled in the
country and they have expended vast
sums in agricultural and other enter
prises. Since 1913 the Jews alone
have spent over 100000 in the coun-

Cobwebs

(Fron, The Bookmun)
MY THOUGHTS are like cobwebs:
~ Sometimes my fingers are all
feathered with them
And they play tanglefoot with death;
Sometimes they spread canopy to dew
and sun
Where love may find home beneath
their tented shade;
Again, they fling line of silk
A .ariat will moose the furthest star!
Sometimes my thoughts are bags Of
fiaccid gray,
Traps for the JOY that, glittering, drifts;
Again, they catch the wind of enterprise
And, bellying sails of dream, dart out
to sea,
With coasts beyond the world for porti

yield of the native vineyards. The
average yield of milk from the native
COW is 13O to $50 gallons per annum,
against 44O gallons from the cows on
the Jewish farms.
Practical illustrations of this pro-
gressive and scientific spirit on the
part of the Jewish coionists are met
with on every hand. In place of the
primitive Arab chain-pump, which is
set in motion by a camel or a mule
that walks round and round with its
eyes blindfolded the Jews have intro
duced modern pumps worked by oil or
gas motors for the irrigation of their
orange and lemon groves. In order to
remove the stagnant pools which breed
fevers the Jews have planted large clus-
ters of eucalyptus trees. They also
have tackled on scientific lines the dis
eases that are likely to attack cattle,
and have mastered the insect pests that
do damage to fruit trees.
On the plains of Sharon they have
founded an up-to-date agricultural sta
tion equal to those found in America.
This station has accomplished marvels
in improving the vines, fruits and ce-
reals. Every year Egypt imports
about $4,000 worth Of table grapes
from Smyrna and Cyprus. The agri-
cultural station has succeeded in &C
climatizing variety of table grapes
ripening three weeks earlier than those
varieties which Egypt imports. In 4
like manner the olive has been i'm

Theirs is the old excuse of the gam

sucker somebody else would.

IS IN his desire to stop speculation.
But it can be stopped. A general

AUCTION PARTY

Seemingly entertaining at auction
would at some date grow uninterest-
ing but instead, the more INDUCED in,
the more fascinating it seems to be-
come and too. there is generally pres
ent some attractive individuality on
the part of the hostess and certainly
it was IN evidence yesterday when
Miss Dorothy Schneider was hostess
to a six-table auction party at her
home on Oklawahs-
Miss Schneider, becomingly gowned
in chic yellow organdie, met each
guest at the front door, in q most
hospitable manner. Assisting in diff
feernt ways for the pleasure of all
present was the hostess mother. En-
HANGING further the attractiveness of
this party were the bright electric
light shades and a profusion of all
sorts of colored flowers which lent q
soft setting for the entire afternoon.
The six tables were arranged in
the music room and library. Fancy
candies were enjoyed during the
games. Fruit punch was also par
taken of.
In conclusion strawberry puffs and
cake were served and ornamenting the
plates were paper centerpieces and
bouquets Of sweet peas.
Miss Adele Bittinger was the clev-
crest player of the afternoon and was
presented with a useful and dainty
filigree bud vase. Mrs. Clifford Aver
won the consolation trophy a pretty

RECEPTION GIVEN BY
MRS. HORNE AND DAUGHTERS

The reception given' yesterday aft
ernoon by Mrs Maude Horne and
daughters, Misses Ethel and Elizabeth
Horne, was one of the most elegant
affairs ever given in the city, despite
the fact that at the last hour they
were compelled to entirely change
their plans on account of the rain,
from lawn party to an indoor affair.
If plans for the lawn fete had ma
terialized it would decidedly have been
the most brilliant and beautiful social
affair ever given in Ocala. Entirely
encircling around the artistic grounds
were electric light bulbs, which were
to have been encased in unique Jap
anese lanterns, sent from Atlanta by
Mrs. Horne's son, Mr.. Norman Horne,
and there were large japanese UNI
brellas which were to have been deco
rated for different booths.
However, the hostesses are to be
highly commeI ded for their cleverness
as the changes made appeared to
have been first plans and the home
was charming in its decorations of
spring flowers and greenery. The
front porch was most cozily arranged
with pot flowers, rugs and floor
lamps. Mrs. E. H. Martin stood at
the front steps to welcome the arrival
of the guests and usher them to the
left side of the porch, where stood
Mrs. w. A. Knight to introduce the
receiving line, which was formed just
inside the door of the living room
and it was composed of Mrs. Horne
and her two daughters, who were
attired in exquisite summer frocks
This room was most deliberately orna
mented with Shasta daisies, nastur
tiums and roses, with asparagus ferr
intermingled.
