speech. he made as minister of agri- members of the Farmers Union about the hard times that were in- evitably in store for the majority of them, Premier Lloyd George handed in his resignation to the king and Sir Arthur automatically became an ex- minister.
 His speech, as he admitted himself, contained only "cold comfort for those who had to get their livings from the land." Some farmers, he prophesied, would go under, and there would be acute distress in the country districts before prosperity could return.
 There may be future for the dairy farmers" he said, "and live stock farming generally may be able to pay fairly well in time, but for the arabic farmers-the corn growers-I can see only gloomy outlook" Re- ferring to the views of one of his predecessors in office, he said: lord Aliwyn probably was right in think ing that smuch arabic land will be- come grass; that the rural districts will be depopulated, and that there will be great misery among farmers and thiaaiE k, lahaorers.H '
 According to his own survey of the state of agriculture, its future seemed to lie in large farms in favorable dis tricts, cultivated as cheaply as pos sible, with patches of intensely culti- vated land.

|CAN USE VARIOUS
 PARTS OF SHARKS
Fishing fer 'Man-Killers' May Be
 Made Important Industry

Washington. aNov. 24.-shark fish Ing can be made an important indus try in this country in the opinion of officials of the Bureau of Fisheries. There are many uses to which various parts of the dreaded man killers can be put and at profit to the fishermen.
 Former Secretary of Commerce Redfield gave prominence during the war days to shoes made of shark skin and it is stated that leather from this skin is as good as that from beef hide. Its use is confined not alone to shoe manufacture. but to the making of other Heather" goods. E
 Shark steaks also get some adver- tiscment during the war, but the Fisheries Bureau holds that the shark fish. dried or smoked, also can bring a good price per ton as fer tilizer. Shark liver oil, crude, also is used commercially, while the body also is valuable.
 The shark Also carries delicacy for the OrientaM It Is the fin, or rather certain of the fins. These are denuded of the flesh and dried. Later the cartilaginous substance of the rays" of the fins are separated. soaked in water and cut up for use In soup. In Hong Kong 1t is stated that the best restaurants charge as much as $2.50 gold for a cup of soup made from the first class fins.
 So the Bureau of Fisheries says fishermen and those who kill sharks are losing money when they fail to mako shark fins part of their busi- ness. Along the California coast 1t has been the custom of fishermen and sportsmen catching. sharks to kill them and turn the carcasses adrift as useless.
 The market price of the dried fins of good size is as high as 65 to 76 cents per pound, but range much trimmed or cured. In the Philippines it is the custom to salt down the fins or powder with lime before drying.

BANDITS RESPECT X. R. A.
Russian Robbers Do Not Molest Am erican Relief Workers As They Pass Warehouses.

WSf6lOuScS.
 Samara, Nov. 24.-One of the larg- est bandit gangs in Russia n 1,70O strong-which neither the Red army nor famine has as yet stamped out, continues to operate in the Pugachof district, but in no way have the rob- bers ever attempted to interfere with American relief workers. It has been estimated that about 1,200 of the men have horses The band is made up chiefly of army deserters who operate in units of 15 to 20 men. According to relief workers, the bandits always make it a point to avoid anything belonging to the Am erican relief administration. In Bala- kova the government warehouse was robbed while the A. R. A. storage house, next door, bulging with cocoa, sugar, canned milk and other good things to eat, was not even touched.
 AS an illustration of further consid- eration by the bandits of the famine sufferers, it Is related that some of the gang last summer rode up to one of the A. R. A village kitchens mefelyt asted the food being prepar- ed for the children; pronounced 1t very good, chucked a few youngsters under the chins, wishing them good appetites and then went their way--to the home of the village treasurer, which they looted.,

protection or subsidies"
 The farmers showed plainly which of the two remedies they preferred by cheering loudly the mention of protection" and greeting subsidies with vociferous cries of dissent. But Sir Arthur would not allow the poor farmers to comfort themselves with ahy false hopes.
 Tt would be dishonest to suggest" he declared that at the present time either remedy is practical. The agri- cultural interests have a comparative ly small representation in the House of Commons, which is permanently urban in character. The government may adopt some palliatives, but it will insist that agriculture. must work out it's own salvation on an economic basis"

USED HIS GLASS
 =. EYE VERY GOOD
Foreman in Berlin Took It Out and Told Natives It Watched Them
 While He Was Absent.

Berlin, Nov. 24.-East African su- perstition and ingenuity are anus ingly illustrated in an incident re- alted by the German colonel, Dr. E. Nigmann, in his memoirs of the days when he was. in charge of colonial administration in that part of the world.
 One of his most reliable aides, he says, was a native lieutenant-colonel who had lost an eye during one of the local expeditions, and wore 8 glass one in its place. This officer was assigned to superintend the erec- ton of a post office in rural dis trict. The inhabitants had long been delinquent in tax payments, and con- sequently each male adult was re quired to meet his civic obligations by putting in weeks labor on the new government building. #
 One day while the native laborers were industriously at work under his vigilant watch. the lieutenant-colonel was temporarily called away. On leaving the building, he took out the glass eye, placed it on one of the WAiiS, dHu nHnounSou " eho W. AASAS Look here, my men. l must go now. but am leaving my eye to keep tab on you and to see that you keep working while I am away" It was with considerable self-satisfac- ton that he returned to find his gang hard at work.
 Next day the lieutenant-colonel had another summons to leave his post. Again he placed the glass eye in charge and left. Returning, he no- ticed from afar that building opera tions were at standstill and all of his dusky help snoring peacefully. Upon looking for his Foreman" eye, he found it carefully covered with an old hat.

Despite Evidence Of Profit

Higher as Activity De.
velOps on Broader Scale

Activity was on still broader scale
yesterday in the two-hcur session than
in the markets of the previous two
days. which marked heightened specu-
lative operations and rising prices. De-
spite some evidence Of profit taking
the trend of quotations was once more
definitely upward, and speculative en-
crgy was concentrated especially on
the equipment shares, notably Baldwin
Locomotive, which rose TO 102H higher
than the peak price in 1921, and closed
with a net gain for the day of 4ls
points.
The investment market, too, seems to
have emerged from the temporary pc
rod Of moderate reaction. Transac-
tions were made yesterday on the basis
Of rising quotations.
In the foreign exchange dealings the
march of sterling exchange in the di-
rection of parity remained unchecked.
Sterling cables were quoted as high as
S4.3314 and closed at $4.321s, up IL

movement has carried sterling ex-
change TO the highest levels since 1919.

reached its low point in February, 1920,
when rates on London we're quoted at
s3.1S to the pound. Since that time
there has been several recoveries and
setbacks. Mint parity is $4.866 and the
recent upswing has tended greatly to
reduce the premium of the dollar, on
the one hand, and the discount on
sterling, on the other. The continental
exchanges have been firm in sympathy

European currencies is at premium
over the dollar, rosa sharply yesterday
Wheat prices, which on Friday re-

In looking to the future Of the
American oil industry the question OF
imports from Mexico assumes place
or major Importance, Sta tes an analysis
prepared by Carl II. Pforzhemer g. Co.
The greater part Of the proven oil
area of Mexico" it adds, "has been
affected by exhaustion and the intru-
sion OF salt water. The bulk of Mex
'co's production is now coming from a
district Of about three and half miles
square. comprising the Toteco and
Ccrro Azul pool at the southern end Of
the narrow Mexican producing strip.
In the latter part OF December fifteen
wells in this district were being ex-
plotted for combined daily production
Of 521, 900 barrels daily, and in the first
fifteen days Of January, 1922, the daily
veragc was about $4,000 barrels. Va
rlous estimates have been given AZ to
tho lifa Of this district, but the best
opinion seems TO be that production at
this high rate cannot be long main
tained. It is believed that that event

and developed in Mexico but, as the
