Oddie's Career as Odd as His Name

Lasker l.. Oddie, United States
senator from Nevada. has had career
as odd as his name. He was born in
Brooklyn, N. Y, in 1870. At sixteen
he went to Nebraska for his health
and was cowboy three years. Then
he went TO New York, worked, studied
law and was admitted to practice. In
1898 he went to Nevada for the
Stokes family to investigate the
handling Of mining properties. He
discovered. through private detective
work exposing him to sudden death
by lead poisoning, that the Stokeses
hadn't suspected the half of the fraud.
He cleaned up the swindlers, took
his pay, got interested in mining for
its own sake and went into the sage
brush a-prospecting.
He fell In with old Jim Butler.

Baton Rouge.-It is estimated tina
100 cars of strawberries will b.
shipped out of Louisiana this season
according to authorities in the straw
berry producing section. This ia zoo
cars more than were shipped last
year.
The acreage planted in strawberries
this year in Louisiana is estimated by
the United States Department of Ag.
riculture as follows: 10,260 acres in
Tangipahoa, 500 acres in St. Helena
and 900 acres in Livingston. The
total area planted is approximately
11,160 acres, as compared with ZOO
acres in 1921.
The first solid car Of Louisiana
Strawberries left the Hammond dis
trict March IS, but the movement was
not In full swing until early in April,
according to V. d. Callahan, in charge
of the Hammond field station of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
tCre.
The total amount Of Louisiana
strawberries up to April 1 was sew
enty-four cars, as compared with 54S
cars shipped the same date last year.
However, Mr.. Callahan stated that
the season is not unusually late as in
dicated by the fact that in 1920 only
3 carloads were shipped up to April
5; in 1918 the shipments were sew
enty-eight carloads, and in 1918 they
were 1862 carloads.
Killing frost the second week of
March served to prevent active early
movement Of any magnitude, and
heavy rains during the last week of |
the month caused further reduction
IN the quantity of berries available |
for shipment before the maturing of |
those set after the cold weather.
The plants seem unusually good de-
spite the unfavorable weather early
In the season, Mr.. Callahan stated,
md barring late mishaps, the ber-
should measure up to the usual
standing in quality.
because of the comparatively light
Fawberry pickings in the Louisiana
SETON thus far it ESTIMATED by
ne Department of Agriculture that
20 cars Of strawberries including less
than carload shipments were forward
ed from various loading stations to
the Chicago market up to April l.
The largest daily shipment to April
j was thirteen cars of which five were
assembled from small lots.
Early sales of good quality berries
this season have brought from s4.75
to $50 for cars Of twenty-four-pint
ventilated crates. One car of unus-
ually good quality was sold for $500
crate. This is believed to be a re-
cord price in the district for a car
load. Because of the presence of ,
mixed lots and the fact that some
stock vary widely in quality and con-
aition, some cash buyers have been
unwilling to pay price in line with
hat at which CARROTS of uniform quail l
ty and packing were quoted. ]

to break my skull from behind is still uncaught after four weeks. The reward offered for his apprehension Is ridiculously small, because the vic tim does not belong to the govern ment's admirers and nobody would risk the nationalist mafia's wrath for 1t. The affair was, according to the police, much more significant than the murder of Rathenau, but nothing has been done and even the national ists, to whom he confessed the deed. have not been arrested. The whole thing Is to be quietly forgotten. The law for the protection of the republic is a carlcature of democracy attempting what Americas free citi- zenship never would tolerate. It or datns higher courts and heavier pun ishments for attempts at libels on ministers. deputies and members of former governments that at the same crimes committed against simple citi- zens. Thus is abolished equality be- fore the law, which the constitution guaranteed even under the Kaiser. As for the Bavarian objection that the laws art too democratic our Ber- lin governors are willing to com promise.
 Thus Germany need not be sur nrised if the world continues to de- spise it's money.

 Ministers. politicians, industrial leaders and newspapers, with the fine German talent of always blaming others, declare the latest slump in the mark is due to the unfriendly speech of Premier Poincare. The im- pulse to stir up international anger is greater than to confess the truth. Even had the fall of the mark begun before Paris chilly note was pub lished, I myself do not believe his majesty, King Dollar, would have adapted his standard of life to the changing moods of the French prime minister.

Berlin, August 5.-The internal situation in Germany continues ex- tremely grave. In the second week of July revolution seemed immi- nent. This was not through anger over the murders by nationalists, but for a more primitive reason. The printers were striking and the money presses were idle. Money be- came scarce because the Reichbank' $ reserves were exhausted. Workers feared their wages would not be forthcoming. This would have been considered a sign of state bank ruptcy, and before matters could have been explained, the workers would have felt compelled for the sake of their wives and children to seize all available foodstuffs and raise the flag of revolt.
 Suddenly the Reichsbank remem- bered an issue of 50o-mark notes
