1rALYs OLIVE OIL INDUSTRY.

The embargo olive oil exports from Italy,
which was established early in the war, was removed
on April O. 1921. Previous to the war Italy was one
of the principal sources to which the world looked
for its supply of olive oil. Shipments from Palermo to
the United States between April and June 80, 1921,
amounted to II8,o46 gallons valued at $I53,oo3.
During a normal year the production Of oil in
Sicily is about one-sixth of the total production in
Italy. According to the official statistics, the average
production of olive oil in Italy during the last ten
years has been 10000 metric TONS of which $1,000
from Sicily.
The outlook for the coming crop is excellent,
although the production will only be fair The reason
for this is that the olive produces abund-

IAPANs COAL PRODUCTION.

The coal market in Japan remains inactive and
there is little or no hope of revival in the near
future, states the Chugai Shogyo. Quotations at
present show decline of about 80 per cent as COM
pared with tho average price Of last year. The total
quantity Of coal brought from last year was
I478ooo tons, and in April agreement was reached
among mine owners of Kiushu, Hokkado and the
oban district to restrict the output. The average
monthly output in the country last year 225oooo
TONS while during the first four months Of this year
it was 2I2Sooo tons. The total output during 1920

AMSTERDAM PORT DEVELOPS.

Notwithstanding the general depression in the
shipping trade and the fact that hundreds of vessels
are lying idle in seaports all over the world the
movement in the port OF Amsterdam is much greater
this year than 1920 From January to June, 1921, in
elusive the number of vessels arriving at this port
was Il22, of which 1899 steamships during
the corresponding period Of 1920 the total arrivals
were 1913, OF which 6o7 steamships. During
june 1921 I7o ships entered the port at Amsterdam
OF this number sixty from England, thirty from
Netherand ports, twenty-five from Germany, four
teen from Finland and from the United States,
The growth of the shipping at Amsterdam is
due in part to the enlargement of the North Sea canal
locks and the extension Of Amsterdam harbor facilities

UNEMPLOYMENT IN FRANCE.

Although the statistics published every week by
the ministry of labor showing the number OF unem-
poyed who arc receiving financial assistance from the
government do not indicate the exact number OF
unemployed France the fluctuations OF these figures
nevertheless give indication of the labor situa
ton. The total number OF unemployed being assisted
at the end of January 1921 reached 47r24; ths.fgure
on April 80 increased to 84,SIo On June II the
number had dropped 6o,565, and June "a it was
$4,000. The crisis therefore, seems to have been
reached in April, and unemployment appears to be
gradually decreasing since that date.

Only few people opposed to regulating
traffic in tuberculosis livestock but their opposition
is sometimes effective, and several OF the kind
have been traced by the United States Department
Of Agriculture. However, the department believes
that cattle dealers who do not favor tuberculosis
eradication arc influenced by selfish motives and do
not represent the true spirit of livestock and
others interested in healthier and better domestic
animals Although tie States have suitable laws to
protect farmers and other livestock owners against
traffic in tuberculosis animals, the practice continues
in some localities.

MARKET FOR. GEORGIA CORN.

WHILE we are complaining about
" having no market for our corn,
the state bureau of markets comes
along with the statement that it is
having no difficulty in selling all the
Georgia shelled corn offered at a
price in line with the Western corn.
The last number of the Market Bulle-
tin, published by the state bureau of
markets, Atlanta, says:
eve are having no difficulty in sell
ing all Georgia shelled corn that is of
fered and at price in line with
Western corn. In our last issue we
sketched the history of the grain
elevator at Dublin, Ga, realizing,
however, that there are many COM
munities that are not financially able
to undertake thepromotion of a grain
elevator just now, we call attention
to the fact that practical corn
shucker and shelter with capacity
of seventy-five bushels an hour can
be had comlpete, motor and all, for
around six hundred dollars, with a
year or more in which to pay for it.
This machine is simple and practical.
The selling value of the shucks will
more than pay the operating expense.
Until grain elevators can be had
there should be one of these shuckers
and shelters installed in every coun-
ty where there is any surplus corn.
1t can be made a paying enterprise.
Shuck and shell your corn and send
US a sample and we will sell your
corn at the market price. You lead
ers of your community think of this
and write US so that we can inform
you in detail"
The chief trouble with marketing
Georgia corn is the fact that it is
not put in marketable condition as
a rule. Corn in the shuck is not fit
for the open market. Corn to COM
mand the current market price must
be shelled and graded That is why
every side track in the great corn
country has from one to three ele-
vators, just as in the South every
small town has its cotton warehouses
where the cotton is graded, sampled
and sold under recognized standards.
A system of elevators must come
in the South before diyersification
becomes reality. And we may as
well start as wait, for we are losing
while we wait.

WHILE YOU SLEEP.

HOV Olu are you. DIVIDE IL by
. - three and you have the num-
Der of years you have spent in bed.
A 60-year-old person, becoming
philosophical, can look back and say
Twenty years of my life have been
devoted to sleep. Isn't that shame?
Life is too short?'
Be not deceived Sleep is not a
waste of time.
Sleep is natures way of preventing
us from killing ourselves by exhaus-
ton. 1t is the system of relaxing
our muscles so the body can rid itself
of poisons that have accumulated dur
ing wide-awake hours.
Sleep rests the body and the
brain. DR.. Boris Sidis decided that
sleep is caused by monotony, that
we do not sleep until wakefulness
becomes uninteresting, boresome.
You give much thought to show
to live correctly"
But how much thought do you give
to sleeping correctly?
You are awake two hours out of
every three. Those two hours you
provide for carefully, striving for
comfort, trying to devote them wise
ly.
The third hour-sleep-is taken as
matter of course. You make little
provision for it--just tumble into bed
and go into a near-cataleptic state.
Sleep should be science, as much
care and study given to it as to
the hours you spend awake.
First of all, your bed should be
comforcable-just as comfortable as
possible, regardless of price.
Your mattress and springs should
be soft enough to make sinking into
bed a delight, yet stiff enough to
support evenly the body in all its
curves.
If your pillow doesn't "set" just
right, something is wrong with it
too many feathers or not enough
and your health is suffering.
Use just enough covers to keer
you comfortable, adding to or taking
from them, in line with the weather
not the seasons.
Most important of all, open every
bedroom window to provide plenty OF
fresh air. Place the bed out of a
draft.
If you awaken tagged out in the
morning, something is wrong with
your way of sleeping. Either that
or you are following the perilous
road of not enough sleep.
Your efficiency win be doubled if
you get sufficient sleep in a COM
Portable bed with plenty of fresh air.
