Keen Rivalry
For Predominance

Prague, April 28.-Keen rivalry
for predominance in the Danube ship
ping is developing among the three
land-locked fragments of the dis
membered Hapsburg Empire, Aus
tria, CZechoslovakia and Hungary
The Danube River is their sea, and
port facilities mean traffic and ma
tional income. Hence one form of
their competition is to build up their
respective ports-Vienna, Pressburg
(now called Bratislava)) and Buda-
pest, situated close to each other on
bend of the river.
With the prospect of connecting
canal system between the Danube and
the Rhine through Bavarian enter
prise, the Danube is coming to be
regarded here as the greatest artery
of trade in Europe. of tomorrow and
the British were aware of this when
they founded their River Syndicate.
The first struggle between the
three ports was to get the Allies
Danube Commission. Bratislava won
but the term was fixed for five years
and the Commission will next go
where the biggest traffic is. This is
squirting the Czechs to increase the
traffic capacity of Bratislava to l.
100000 tons this year and ultimate
plans call for capacity of 5000, 600
tons.
The struggle for trade thus far is
mostly between Bratislava and Buda
pest with Vienna tagging. Hungary
has granted contract to a French
firm to construct first class port al
Budapest and the Czechs are prepar-
ing to answer this by equipping Brat
islava at cost to the government OF
228,00O,000 Czech crowns. Czecho-
slovakia also proposes to build sub,
sidiary pjort at Komarno. This work
is to be completed in three years.
A private company has been or
ganized to take over the shipping un-
der the Czech flag on the Danube and
Czeehoslovakia means to keep the
Danube Commission at Bratislava.

Has Beard Nine Feet Long

Brighton, Mich, April 3O.-The
long whiskered championship of the
world is claimed by John j. Tannery
81, for more than half a century a
resident of this village.
His beard measures exactly nine
feet from chin to tip. Ordinarily, Mr.
Tanner controls it by thrusting the
end inside the band of his trousers:
More than 80 years ago, when Mr.!
Tanners beard was only two or three
feet in length, he decided to seek the
championship. To this end he braidl
ed his beard and tucked it inside his
vest. The whiskers soon attained
proportions making the braiding iml
practicable.
Ten years ago Mr.. Tanners beard
was six feet long. Five years age
two more feet had been added and
now it measures nine. The owner
hopes to attain growth of twelve
feet

fornia.
Production Of early cabbage for al
purposes is usually considerably in ex.
cess of the carlot movement. The in

crop this year is 49,100 acres as com.
pared with 35,40O acres last year. The
estimated yield per acre also is larger
this year, with an increase from 6.f
tons to sc tons.

New Minister From Colombia

New York, April 27.-Enrique Ola
va Herrera, the new minister from
Colombia to the United States, who is
due to arrive in New York today to
take up his duties in Washington ex-
ercised potent influence in induc-
ing the Colombian congress to ratify
the treaty between the United States
and Colombia under which this coun-
try paid $26,000,0O0 as compensation
for the loss of Panama. He has always
been a friend of the United States
and supporter Of policy of closer un-
ion between Colombia and this coun-
try.
AS vice-president of the foreign af-
fairs committee of the Colombian SEN
ate he defended amendments to the
treaty with the United States which
eliminated an expression of American
regret over the separation of Panama
from Colombia. When opposition
arose against it's approval as amend
ed he became secretary of foreign af-
fairs to defend the treaty and bring
about tis ratification.
In the debates over the treaty he
warmly defended policy of friend
ship with the United States and urged
investment Of American capital in Co
lombia and an intellectual exchange
with America.
Senior Herrera founded in 1915 FL
Diario Nacional, one of the most i'm
portant papers of Colombia. He has
served as chief of the diplomatic de-
partment of the Colombian secretary
of state, as minister to Chile and Ar,
gentina and has held other diplomatic
posts. He Is one Of the youngest men
ever appointed minister from Colon
bia to the United States. He is CON
sidered one of Colomba's best orators

British War Base on Suez
Canal Has Been Abandoned

Cairo, April 30.-What was once
considered the greatest military
dump in the world, Ell Kantara, the
British army base on the east side
of the Suez Canal, has now almost
entirely reverted to the wilderness
of sand and silence whence it rose.
Its passing marks the demise of one
of the most important "war baby"
soldier cities.
In 1914 Ell Kantara was merely the
name of "place" on the Suez Canal,
45 minutes by train from Port Said.
With the beginning of the Palestine
campaign, the transformation began.
Pioneers, engineers and army serv-
ice corps detachments mapped out
town.
There they erected enclosures for
cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, fodder
for great guns and small timber
carts. Later there appeared en-
closures for prisoners and the mis-
cellany of canteens, contractors huts,
officers quarters and barracks that
made up great war center.
When the armistice was signed, Ell
Kantara's stores included quantities
of every appurtenance of war. It's
dismantling began in 1920. Contract
ors rushed in and secured great bar
gains. Gradually the vast accumula-
tion dwindled until, few days ago
the Disposals Board finished it's
work and the site was handed over
to the Egyptian Labor Corps-a de-
lapidated, empty hulk.

Ten Years to Equip
All Troops in Khaki

Paris, April 3O.-It will require
ten years to clothe all the French
troops in khaki despite the efforts
Of the Higher Council of War to
equip all branches of the French
army with uniforms of that color as
quickly as possible.
The delay is due to the fact that
the Ministry of War has enough
horizon blue and steel gray cloth or
hand to equip some branches of the
service for ten years and those
stocks must be used up before KHAKI
can be adopted. Therefore the home
troops must continue to wear horizon
blue and the unmounted chasseur:
steel gray while colonial and Africa
troops will at once receive khaki uni.
forms.

New Publication on
Soil Building

Clemson College, April -"There
are five important factors in soil i'm
l'rovement and economical crop pro-
duction; namely, G) control of soil
moisture, (2) sufficient organic mat.
ter, CD deep plowing and thorough
tillage, (4) systematic use of lime in
rotation, and (5) intelligent use of
commercial fertilizers" says Exten-
sion Bulletin 81, entitled "Soil I'M
provement and Economical Crop Pro-
duction," by N. E. Winters, Specialist
in Soil Fertility, which has just come
from the printer and is ready for dis
trlbution by the Extension Service.
Clemson College, S. c., and by the
county agents. @
Moisture and Humus Big Factors.
In discussing moisture control the
pupllcation states among other things
that South Carolina loses annually
about $9,000,O00 worth of soil fertil-
ity in the teaching of nitrogen from
the soil and that the use of cover
crops would save most, if not all of
this loss. Regarding organic matter,
it is shown that humus helps to con-
troll soil moisture, holds plant food.
makes plant food in the soil more ran
idly available, and makes more effici
ent the use Of commercial fertilizer
applied.
Commercial Fertilizers Valuable.
That the South Carolina farmer an
preclates the value of commercial fer
tilizers is proved by the fact that in
1920 over one-sixth of the fertilizers
soil in the United States was bought
by South Carolina farmers, but our
farmers have made their mistake.
says the bulletin, has been in the con-
tinued use of large amounts of com.
mercial fertilizers without regard to
other factors, which make the use of
fertilizers more effective and profit
able. In short, the use of fertilizers
is beneficial, while the abuse of fer
tilizers is improbable and even harm
full.
Bulletin 81 is illustrated with four
tables and II cuts which aid greatly
in making clear and impressive the
facts and ideas of the publication
which should do much to stop soil rob
bing and encourage soil building

is man the Star has great confidence
in and delights to honor. Neverthe-
less, it thinks the people of the Sec
ond Congressional District will show
bad judgment if they put him in
Frank Clark's place. When Colonel
Davis gave up his chance for a re-
election to Congress in 1904, in order
to run for governor, he was the peer
of any man in the House of Represen-
tatives, and Frank Clark is the peer
of any man there now. To replace
Mr.. Clark with Mr. Davis would be
about as wise as to replace in the line
of battle a soldier of the world war,
familiar with all the tricks of that
terrible struggle, with veteran of
the Spanish-American war, equally
brave but knowing only how to keep
his place in line and sight his Krag.
