AIEEIectric Paper Mill.

A large paper mill at Vargo, Swed- en, was recently rebuilt upon the most modern lines. Formerly 10000 tons of coal were consumed annually and the problem of maintaining this supply was a very serious one, but at the present time there is no coal whatever consumed at the plant. The boiler house contains seven "electric" boil CTS. each of 5000 horsepower, and the current enters the boilers at pres sure of 10000 volts without having to be stepped down. Each of the boilers is provided with three electrodes, and the coupling arrangements are such that steam generation can be regulat- ed within per cent. It Is stated that full steam pressure can be raised In from five to ten minutes after switch ing on the current, and considerable economy in attendance is obtained, as compared with coal firing.

President Obregon of Mexico has given his sanction to bull fighting by appearing one Sunday afternoon when Rodolfo Gaona and Ernesto Pastor fought jointly. He occupied ring side seat.

No Aerial Mail for Chinese.

While Chang Tso Lin, who today dominates the north of China, was wondering just what he would do with six airplanes which he ordered from England the question of the disposal of three of them was settled for him. He was undecided whether to use them for military purposes or for the establishment of a mail service, in &C., cordance with the terms of the con- tract While debating the question he ordered three to be sent to Mukden, for possible postal use, and the re- mainder to Paotingfu for military pur- poses. Those shipped to Mukden were loaded on fiat cars and started on their way. Some distance from Tient- sin they bumped railroad bridge and were not only smashed but also put the bridge out of commission. So 1t looks as though those who expected to get their mail via the air route are doomed to disappointment.

A while ago I published a little book on a tour I made in America dur ing war time. I dedicated 1t ITO the kindest people in the world" and put the dedication in Latin to spare their bushes. Should l write another work of the same kind, 1 think should dedicate 1t ITO the most good natured, tolerant and patient people in the world" writes Sir Arthur l.. Shipley in the Outlook.
 Although as the election grew ln- minent interest in 1t became keen and discussion eager, still l only once heard an acute disagreement between the supporters of the rival candidates. and this was between a husband and wife. IL seemed based upon a funda- mental difference of opinion on that most innocuous and unexciting fluid, milk.
 As a rule the discussions were most amicable, and usually finished up. aft CT the method of Lincoln, in joke or a story Their toleration equals their good humor. They bear patiently every variety of religious dogma {; these are almost as numerous in the United States as are patent medicines. They quietly endure and ignore the most internal noises. Owing to the enormous distances one has to trav- erse in the states, one spends con- siderable part of ones time on the train and it is this reason which pos sibly accounts for the fact that smeri- cans persist in talking on the cars.

.AN OPPORTUNITY.

Along with the campaign for redue- tion of cotton acerage an dthe urgency to increase in diversifieation and more food and feed crops, it would be we'll for the farmer to remember htat he should take all steps to secure the maximum returns from the acerage which will be devoted to cotton, for there will necessarily have to he some cotton planted this year.
 one of the most important steps in making cotton more profitable crop is the standardization of varieties within the community This must be done through community or county Bureau offers q solution to the prob organization. and the County Farm lem.

 By working out such plan the Farm Bureau will be ministering one of the greatest possible aids in adopt ing more profitable system of farm ing.
