Country lie - Lsw-Abldlne That ON

NethlnO - Dc.

The only country In the world that
has not q single representative Of the
Law is Greenland. Here dwell 1900
Hskimos and 24O Danes in settlements
scattered along the coast. Eskimcs
manage their own AFFAIRS. Any griev.
ance they may have Is settled BY the
head man Of the tribe. There has
been no serious crime in the country
for the past hundred years.
The Danish government allows no
one to land there without permission,
which Is only granted to bona nde ex-
plorers and scientists. The sole o.
ject Of this seclusion Is to prevent
liqusr and disease reaching the Es-
kimos.
All Eskimos are Christians, and
Ia the larger settlements there are
fine churches. with steeples. organs,
and oil paintings. Here you will
find Eskimo ministers and physicians.
rs well as native newspapers, and an
illustrated Journal produced entirely
by Eskimo labor.
During the short summer vegetables
and various kinds Of fruits are grown,
and even strawberries, under glass.
The coastal areas are blaze Of col
or from the wild flowers that abound.
Then comes winter, when the whole Of
Greenland Is cut of from the world
and buried In snow and ice.-Detroit

RACING Pigeons,

The year 1922 Is to see a boom In
pigeon racing. we are told; form Of
sport that Is quite modern. although
the use OF the pigeon as messenger
is at least as odd as Solomon. 1t was
little over century ago that long
distance flying began with race of a
hundred miles in Belgium. This was
soon followed by a race from London
to Belgium, but even then it was not
until 1881 that regular races were be-
gun In England. In the early days
the birds averaged about 1,25O yards
. minute, but training has raised their
speed now to something over GO miles
IN hour.

PENNSY SYSTEM
ESTABLISH RECORDS
Last Month 27,943 Cars We're
lowed From Norfolk To
Cape Charles.

New high records in transporting
freight by car ferry between Norfolk
and Cape Charles, a distance of SO
miles across the lower Chesapeake
Bay were established during August
by the N. Y. P. & N. Railroad, one of
the component lines of the Pennsyl-
vania system. During the month,
counting the movement in both direc-
tions, total of 27,943 cars were tow
ed across on the car floats. This was
not only the heaviest traffic ever
handled over the Cape Charles route,
but is also believed to be the greatest
on record for a freight car ferry of
equal length anywhere in the world.
The average movement for August
was 901 cars per day.
The high record north bound was
made on August goth, when 624
freight cars were ferried from Nor
folk to Cape Charles on August 18th,
there were $40 cars ferried, north
bound. The previous north-bound
high record was on July 10, 1916,
when 613 were carried across.
The high record south bound was
made on August 4th, when SOP cars
were ferried from Cape Charles to
Norfolk. The previous high record
south bound was on June 10, 1917,
when sgt cars were carried.
When the north bound high record
was made on August 20, eleven barges
were in use. They averaged a little
over two trips each and carried an
average of 81 cars per trip. The av-
erage lay-over at Cape Charles for
unloading and loading was fifty and
one-half minutes. One barge No. 8,
with tug No, "a, unloaded q and re-
loadead % cars in 80 minutes.
On August 4th, when the new south
bound record was established, there
were ten barges in service, each av-
eraging two trips, and carrying an
average of 29.8 cars per barge.
In the first eight months of the
present year the Norfolk-Cape Char
les ferry has carried an average of
G34 cars daily, counting movement in
both directions.
The Cape Charles route, including
the ferry between Cape Charles and
Norfolk, constitutes on of the Penn
sylvania systems principal gateways
to and from the South. The unpre-
cedented movement during August
was due to heavy traffic of all kinds,
including agricultural products, lum-
Ter, general merchandise and coal.

R. R. COMPANIES TO
RUSH COAL SHIPMENTS
Loading And Unloading OF Cars
Will Be Made With Greatest
Possible Promptness.

Instructions to take immediate
measuers with a view to enlisting
the cooperation Of all shippers and re-
ceivers of freight, on the Pennsyl
vania Railroad system, in getting
more work out of each coal car than
was ever before thought possible,
have been issued by General w. w.
Atterbury, vice-presidant in charge or
operation. The appeal is based upon
the urgency OF the situation arising
out Of the coal shortage, and the ap
proacn of winter. General Atterbury
has addressed the following directions
jointly to the four Regional vice-pres-
idents Of the Pennsylvania system,
viz, Mr.. Elisha Lee, Philadelphia.
Eastern Region; MI. J. A. McCrea,
Pittsburgh, Central Region; Mr.. j. &.
Rodgers, Chicago, Northwestern Reg
ION; Mr.. Benjamin McKeen, st. Louis
Southwestern Region:
"With the resumption of mining in
both the bituminous and anthracite
fields, the most essential work ahead
on our railroad is that of moving
coal.
GAS vital part OF our plans,
wish each of you to take at once what
ever steps are required to impress up
on our patrons, in your respective re-
gions, the urgency Of the situation,
and particularly, the absolute neces-
sity for loading and unloading coal
cars with the greatest possible
promptness.
eve are faced with the most seri-
Gus coal shortage in the country's his
tory. To avert or minimize wide
spread suffering and loss. we must
make up as much of that shortage as
possible before winter sets in.
Coal cars must be kept moving to
and from the mines faster than ever
before, We must get more service
out of every car than has ever befor"
been attempted. To make success pos
sible, loading and unloading must be
done in absolute minimum time and
everyone using coal equipment must
be made to realize the moral duty of
releasing cars as swiftly as possible
in order that they may be returnd to
the mines for more coal with the least
possible delay.
81 am confident that when the vital
importance of this matter is made
clear to our patrons, we shall receive
their full support and cooperation"

Eggs And Poultry Plentiful,
Forecast For This Winter

This fall and winter eggs and poul-
try will be plentiful and prices should
be low enough to make them econo-
mical. Just now storage houss are
full Of eggs and farmers have in
creased their flocks of poultry to an
unusual extent. On August 1 there
we're 4,812,248 cases of eggs in sto-
rage, which is about 35 per cent more
than the average at this season for
the last three years.
Eggs start moving out of storage
in summer and the greatest sales OF
such eggs come back in the fall and
early winter. AS a rule, the bulk Of
storage eggs are sold before the list
of January, the activity of the market
after that date depending on whether
the weather is severe or mild enough
to stimulate egg production. An open
winter practically eliminates the sto-
rage egg early in the season. But
this year, regardless of the state of
the weather, eggs should be available
at very reasonable prices from the
start,
Poultry farming, both as a spcial-
ty and as side issue on other farms,
has been one of the best paying lines
of agricultural work during the last
TWO years, which accounts for the
large supplies on hand this yeas
Frices to the farmer, however, have
row reached low point on both eggs
and poultry, and he is not marketing
poultry freely, but is holding his birds
fol better prices or using them on the
table at home. Poultry fattening sta
lions that are usually crowded at this
season are now only about two-thirds
full.
