All these articles have been dumped into the Egyptian market on a scale and at prices that have defied competition. Statistics on foreign trade for the first seven months of 1922 show that Germany las advanced from sixth to fourth position, and that the United States stands fifth. The loss of considerable American trade this year is due to the heavy falling off in the importaa tion of cereals.

DAKOTALAW MAKERS PRACTICE ECONOMY
Financial and Public Welfare
 Problems to Face Legislature

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 22.-Finan- cial and public welfare problems and others having to do with political con- alterations, will face the North Da- kota legislature when 1t convenes here January 8. For the first time in three regular sessions and two special ses- stons, it will not be controlled by the nonpartisan league, small majority in both house and senate being mem bers of the independent voters asso- citation, a coalition of progressive re- publicans and democrats.
 Questions of economy will be the first to come before the legislative session. State taxes have increased s16.069,469 since 1915, largely through increases in road and school taxation.
 Reduction in the number of banks in the state also will be considered. North Dakota has an average Of a bank and a half per thousand popu- lation. The present law discourages consolidation of banks and an act that will permit their turn over without closing or liquidation, is expected to be passed.
 Other Business.
 Legislation also is expected looking toward the closing of industrial ex- periments of the league that nave proved improbable. The league closed fhe experimental creamery at Werner and stopped erection of buildings In its home building experiment. Most of these industrial experiments were adopted as initiated measures. In crease in the power of the farm loan department and provision TOT the operation of the state owned mill at Grand Forkes, are among other ex- nected legislatlre considerations One unit of the mill is running the com nlete operation of which the inde- pendent administration pledged an honest effort to determine If 1t IS successful experiment"
 Consideration of. a complete list or law. regarding children and the re- vamping of the health lays of the state to meet present conditions are the chief welfare measures 10 pc acted upon. A children's code com mission has been at work for two wears and with the help of the chil- dren's bureau at Washington, sys- tenn of laws has been compiled. The health laws presented will be largely an. attemp to consolidate and sys- temat,ze the present health agencies, with some attempts made at the en- largement of the field.

POOR NOT WANTED
Welcome Sign Not in Evidence to Im- poverished White Man in Island of Tahiti.

Papeete. Tahiti, Dec. 22.-The well come sign is not found on the door mat of this island for the white man who has insufficient income to sup port himself notwithstanding certain representations to the contrary to several narratives emanating from this island. The natives cannot and will not support a derelict white man merely for the pleasure of his com |pany.
 During the last two or three years Ia number of white men have arrived here. believing the natives would sup port them. Recently there were many wandering along the beach,. destitute in the hope that some passing ship would allow them to work their way home or to some other cline. The average white man cannot make liv- ing from aI small patch of ground be- cause he Is unable to endure labor under the tropical sun. There is no available employment on the island for white-mep and the economic con ditions in nslhH island are at low ebb.

WOODLAND BEACH TO AGAIN
COME BACK AS BAY RESORT
TO REOPEN MAY NEXT, SAYS
REPORT, MORE ATTRACTIVE
James X. Mott, the Owner, Has Force
of Men at WOrk-New Amusements
and Attractions Going up for Season

and Attractions Going up for Season
According to a story printed in the
Wilmington Star, Woodland Beach,
the well-known resort on the Della
ware Bay, nine miles from Smyrna, is
to be revived. Mr.. James R. Mott, the
owner and proprietor, is away and
could not be seen to verify the story.
According to the Star: "After being
closed for more than 16 years and
completely isolated from the rest of
the world for that long a period,
Woodland Beach is to be reopened as
a pleasure resort. Owing to the
storms that swept that region, causing
so many washouts, the whole length
and breadth of the once beautiful and
solid sauseway of three-quarters of a
mile leading to Woodland Beach dis
appeared. The bridge, forming part
of the driveway, was completely de-
mOlished by the rising waters. The
proprietor of Woodland Beach, James
r. Mott, has decided to rebuild the
causeway and erect several new build
ings on the premises preparatory to
reopening the resort for public amuse-
ment on or about May /.
WOrkmen Now Making improvements
During the greater part of last fail
and throughout the winter months so
far Mr.. Mott has had large force of
workmen engaged in making the nee
essary repairs and improvements and
says he is determined to make Wood
land Beach the most attractive resort
between Philadelphia and Cape Char
les. So far, it is estimated that a
sum greater than $4,000 has been ex-
pended to make the place even more
attractive and pleasurable than in its
halycon days previous to the vast
damage wrought by the storms fury
of few years since. Before the dam
age necessitated the closing up of the
place, the resort was steadily growing
in popularity and frequently from
1000 to 5000 eXcursionists jouneyed
there for days pleasure and recrea-
ton, going from all parts of the three
counties in the state, not to mention
the many visitors from Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington that fire.
quented the place
See Woodland Beach Popular Resort
With more amusements than ever
before, when the resort is again OPEN
ed to the public, Mr.. Mott and his
many friends predict that "good old
Woodland" will surpass its oldtime
popularity, becoming again the chief
mecca for excursiOnists and others
throughout the season. A big enter
tainment and other special features
will probably mark the opening of the
season at this Kent county resort"

EARLY RUN OF SHAD APPEARS
Fishermen Getting Ready to Cast
Their Nets By April First

Many Delaware river shad fisher
men have gone to the Southern waters
to fish until the opening of the sea-
son in the Delaware river. They had
nothing to do because work is so
scarce, so most of them borrowed
enough money to make the trip. There
will be more nets operated in the Del
aware river this season between Cam
den and Pennsville than for several
years. Scores are now overhauling
nets and boats. The season usually
opens about April 1, providing the. ice
and snow water has disappeared. Most
of the fishermen will use power boats.
The demand for shad is increasing each
year, while shad are getting scarcer
in the river.

PET CAT PREVENTS BIG FIRE
Its Calls ArOuses Mrs. James Davidson
of Frazier Street in Time to Save HON

lIS CdllS ArOuSeS Mrs. James Davidson
of Frazier Street in Time to Save HON
The meow" of cat at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. James Davidson on
Frazier street late Saturday night,
prevented a disastrous fire and prob
ably save the Davidson's their cozy
bungalow. Mr.. Davidson, who is en-
plOyed at night work on the railroad
was away and it appears that Mrs.
Davidson's brother, Mr.. John Poore,
of Clayton, came to spend the night.
He had been smoking and stuffing his
pipe in his Overcoat pocket he threw
the coat over a chair. Within an hour
or so after retiring, Mrs. Davidson
heard her pet cat meowing at a ter
rife rate and thinking unusual she
got out of bed and went to see what
was the matter. She discovered much
to her amazement, the coat on fire, as
well as the chair, the blaze mounting
up in the room. She Immediately
called her brother, who responded
quickly and grabbing the chair and
coat, threw it out the front door into
the street. The fire fortunately did
not extend to the rug or any of the
draperies adm was thus confined to the
one chair which was damaged beyond
further use. Mr.. Poore also lost his
overcoat. 1t is needless to say that
Mrs. Davidson thinks more than ever
of her pet cat and of its heroic work
in giving the alarm at a timely mo-
ment.
