CONDITIONS IMPROVING IN
PORTUGAL.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Cardinal Bourne has returned to
London after a brief visit to Portugal
and Spain, for the purpose of attend
ing the tercentenary of the English
College in Lisbon, whose co-founders
were an English priest and Portu-
guese hidalgo, Dom Pedro Coutumho.
Before crossing the frontier into Por-
tugal the Cardinal paid visit to Alba
da Tormes, where ST. Teresa died, and
where her body is now enshrined.
In speaking of his visit to Portugal
Cardinal Bourne emphasized a politi-
cal fact whose significance has become
somewhat obscured in the haze of
passing centuries. Portugal is the
oldest ally of England-not necessa-
rily of Great Britain, since the alliance
was concluded when England and
Scotland were separate kingdoms,
each with it's own king. But the Eng
lish alliance with Portugal has di-
rect Catholic interest, because it was
concluded between two Catholic kings,
at time when England was Catho,
lie country and the heresiarch Wye
life had not begun his apostolate of
trouble-making. And - so Cardinal
Bourne expressed tit says great
deal for the relations between the two
countries that this political alliance,
made some 500 years or so ago be-
tween two Catholic powers, has con.
tinued unbroken down to the present
day, though both England and Portu,
gal have gone through times when the
Church has been seriously menaCed in
both countries.
Conditions in Portugal.
But although relations between
Church and State have been strained
in Portugal since the overthrow OF the
Monarchy, Cardinal Bourne believes
that conditions are beginning to mend
and that some improvement may be
looked for. Among the Cardinals
hosts whilst he was in Lisbon were
such prominent public men, devout
practical Catholics too, as the Mar
quis of Sousa and Holstein, the Wis
count de Assentis, Conselheiro Fer
nando da Sous, and DR.. Beltasar Ca
bral
During his stay in Lisbon Cardina
Bourne went out to the country house
of DR. Cabral, where distinguishes
Portuguese were invited to meet ths
Cardinal at luncheon. Senhora Cabra

SAM 500 HOO DIED FOR FLAG
Body of Patriotic chinaman, Born and
Educated in America, Sent to
China for Burial.

The last journey of Sam 500 Hoo,
killed in action in the Ourcq valley
is told by the American Legion Week
ly.
OF Chinese parentage on both sides,
but born and educated In San Fran
cisco, Sam, when he became young
man, went to China and married, think
ing some day to return to America.
When in 1917 news came that America
had entered the war; Sam kissed his
perpleXed little bride and said: 81
must tgo."
Time passed, and a white cross
stood over all that was mortal of Sam
500 Hoo. A Red Cross man came
along and took a picture of the grave,
sending it on to the widow, who Won
dered what it meant. And then re-
quest came from relatives that the body
be sent to China. So now, close by
Jia 81 Chuen, just outside the south

try for which he died, he will be laid

HAD THE "THE0D0RA" DOOR
Fancy French Pets Saturated With un-
welcome Perfume of Marshal
Foch's American Mascot.

Fifty thousand francs worth of pet
dogs were temporarily ruined by Mar
shall Foch's wild cat on the voyage to
France. When the marshal, as guest
of the American Legion, had picked
up Theodore from an admiring friend,
he had little reckoned what devasta-
ton was in store.
Theodore was placed In the kennel
room atop the liner Paris, under care
of the ships butcher, who acted as
animal valet for the trip. Believing
that the fluffy Pekinese, and poodles,
and Mexican harnesses that shared
her compartment did not represent,
like herself, the true red-bloOded pi-
oneering spirit Of America, Theodore
lay quietly In her cell and exuded the
aroma peculiar to wildcats. When the
Paris touched the shores of France,
the valet handed the pet dogs around
to the group of daintily-scented mad
amoiselles and was greeted with loud
shrieks.

APPLE SPRAY PROGRAM
OUTLINED.

The basis of a campaign against
the various pests and diseases which
rob the apple-growers of the state
of hundreds of thousands of dollars
every year has just been laid down
in an apple-spraying program pub
lished by the New Hampshire Col
lege Extension Service as Press Bull
letin 1872. The program carries a
total of seven sprays, but not all of
these have to be applied every year
or on all varieties. The first spray
of relatively strong lime sulphur
solution, which is called the delay
ed dormant" and which controls
scale and aphis, is due every other
year when the buds are breaking.
Mcintosh and other varieties suscept-
ible to scab should also have the
"pre-pink" and pink" sprays when
the leaves have expanded and when
the blossoms show pink; but Baldwins
rarely need these sprays. All var
ieties however, require the "calyx"
spray just after the petals fall, and
Mcintosh should have a duplicate
one two weeks later. Baldwins need
at least one summer spray for the
control OF sooty fungus and fruit
spot. which often seriously damage
their market value with little black
spots. Before the blossoms open
Bordeaux mixture is the principal
weapon of the. fruit grower for con-
troll of fungous disease, but after the
blossom period lime sulphur appears
in the various sprays with arsenate
of lead and Black Leaf 40. The full
program will be furnished upon re-
quest to the State College, or to the
county agricultural agent.
Some men get by" by looking wise,
others by acting wise and here and
there one by being wise.

LEFT IN COUNTRY ELEVATORS.

Stocks Of wheat in country mills
and elevators March are estimated
at 1854, 900 bushels by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
This is the smallest quantity in the
record of reports made to the depart
ment for that date during the past
ten years, with the exception Of Mar.
/, 1918, when the abnormally low
stocks of 66,OOO,000 bushels followed
the small wheat crop of 1917.
Exports of wheat from the 1921
crop have been heavy and country
mills and elevators possess only 81 per
cent of that crop. This is the small
est percentage for these crops in the
same month in ten yeras. The high
est record is 16 per cent.
Average wheat stocks in country
mills and elevators March during
the past five years were about 91,-

year average. Wheat stocks of this

DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE
German Submarine Commander Who
Sank Lustania Also Now at
Bottom of Sea.

The commander of the German sub
marine that sank the Lusitania is now
at the bottom of the sea, according to
a story which has reached American
Legion headquarters. Flogged and
flung over the side of Paraguan war
vessel, he met death with dose of
his own medicine.
The story is that the commander,
fleeing from allied justice, took refuge
In Paraguay, where he at once took
out naturalization papers and swore
allegiance to the Paraguan republic
Friends in the shipping world secured
for him the command Of Paraguan

him around for beating, and then
threw him into the sea, far from sight

ALLIED DEBT REFUNDING TO BE
SLOW AND LENGTHY.

Democratic senators criticize Presi
dent Harding's selection for member
ship of the allied debt funding COM
mission only because one of their
own political faith was not included.
They are wise enough not to question
the qualifca cations of Messrs. Mellon,
Hughes, Hoover, Smoot and Burton.
1t would be interesting to receive
from them a list of Democrats, any
one of whom might be substituted
for one of the Republicans to the
improvement of the commission. But
they will make no such suggestions
simply because there are none better
equipped than the Presidents APP
pointees to conduct the delicate
negotiations which must be under
taken. There is no place in the re-
funding operations for mere politics.
1t is business of serious kind and the
character of the five gentlemen
selected gives assurance that partisan
politics will not enter into their
consideration of it. Responsibility
for making the best possible arrange
ments rests on the administration. 1t
cannot be shirked. This is the suffi-
Gent reason for the Presidents selec-
ton of five men in whom he and the
country can repose absolute con-
fidence.
People who believe that the fund
ing commission will devise process
for early discharge Of their obliga-
lions by our war debtors are going
to be disappointed An indication Of
the difficulties they will encounter
is given in the news that Great
Britain, the most capable financially
Of the debtors, contemplates making
in the near future only a relatively
small cash payment on account Of
overdue interest and that she will
tender bonds in an amount not to ex-
coed 81 100000, 900, whereas she owes
us approximately 100000, 900.
