SO thoroughly has the date be-

this country is often called the
Land Of the Date. Indeed, Arabs
say that the original Tree Of Life
which stood in the Garden Of Eden
was a date palm and they show
travellers a venerable date tree as
the actual Tree OF Life. For 1t
was in the heart Of the date coun-
try, where the Tigris and Eu-

Eden is supposed to have been sit

Whatever the connection, how
ever, Of the date palm with the by
gone glories Of Mesopotamia, 1t be-
comes more and more certain that
the commercial present and future
of that country are linked TO the
health-giving date that has not
been affected by the passage Of
time and that has given to Per-
sian and Turk and Arab and
Greek and Roman, to European
and Australian and American the
benefit of its nourishing, delicious

fee to Brazil, sugar to Cuba, beef

II Is surprising. In a way, that
interest seems centcrcd right now
upon the product Of northern
Mcsopotamia. oil, while the great
product Of the southern part OF
the country Is neglected by the
press. The oil fields Of Mesopo-
tamia may prove as rich ms those
Of Texas, but II Is also possible
that their production may be short
lived. while there Is no doubt at
all about the stability and worth
Of the product Of southern Meso-
potamia. Year after year for thir-
ty centuries or more this part Of
the country has yielded a delicious,
nutritious fruit that has become
known In almost every part OF the
globe and that now every year Is
as eagerly awaited In the United
States and in Europe as In Bag
dad itself.
This is the date, first and most
successfully grown in Mesopo-
tamia and now one OF the worlds
staple crops because Of the wide
spread demand for It. It's value as
food and the fact that II can be
kept indefinitely without deteriora-
ton. Practically the entire life Of
southern Mesopotamia revolves
about the date. A large part Of
the population works in the date
gardens or in the packing stations
where the golden dates, the finest
dates Of Mesopotamia - which
means Of the whole world-are
prepared for shipment TO this
country.
Dates form one Of the staple
foods of the people; in fact, many
Arabs eat little else for months at
time and remain in a state Of
perfect health. Poorer qualities
Of dates are fed TO horses and
dogs and even to camels and drom-
edaries. Dates are southern Meso-
potamia's chief source Of wealth,
| and the magnificent date gardens
along the Shat-el-Arab (River Of

mained in the same family for
hundreds of years, take the place

Southern Irak
One-Crop Land

It has often been argued that
the southern states should diversi-
fly their crops and not depend upon
cotton alone, but the same argu-
ment cannot be applied to Mesopo-
tamia, for large parts of the coun-
try are suitable only for growing
dates. Dates demand very hot
climate, together with plenty Of
water at the roots of the tree-an
old Arab proverb has it that the

FTER twenty-five hundred
"A years Of subjection TO foreign
masters, Assyrian, Persian, Greek,
Roman, Psrthian. Turk and 9th
ers, Mesopotamia Is once more
free.
The world thrilled when Poland
regained her independence after
being under alien rule only little
more than a hundred years, but
Mesopotamia since the year $50,
before the birth of Christ. had
never known what IL is to lead an
independent existence.
In that year Cyrus, King of the
Persians, captured Babylon, and
from that day until the close Of
the World War the historic land
between the Tigris and Euphrates
was under the control Of foreign
ers. This is the more surprising
in view Of the fact that Meso-
potamia, according to many au-
thorities, was in reality the scene
of the birth of civilization; its cul-
ture is older even than that Of
Egypt or of China, and, appropri-
ately enough, it contains the tradi-
tional site Of the Garden of Eden.
England Holds
League Mandate
At last, however, Mesopotamia
is free. Henceforth it will be
known as the Kingdom Of Irak; its
first ruler is Prince or Emir Fei-
sci, son of the King of the Hed. .aa.

However, in spite of these diff

long it was under foreign rule, a
genuine spirit Of independence and
nationality is be. developed In
Mesopotamia and King Feisal is
receiving strong popular support.
Efforts are being made-success-
fully, according to most accounts
to unite the various peoples of that
land, and it is predicted that be-
fore long the Kingdom of Irak will
be regarded as the most stable

Turks in Anatolia have not for
gotten that a few years ago the
Tigris and Euphrates flowed

farther north Soviet Russia looks
longingly at the Mesopotamian oil

Mesopotamia is by no means homo

ONE TWIN DYING;

Chicago, March 2S.-Josefa Blazek, one of the "Siamese twins" desperately ill of jaundice, lapsed into unconscious ness this afternoon at West End hos pital and surgeons say she will die in a few hours. They do not expect her to regain consciousness.

 than one-fifth of the amount charged
 to us as Sheriff. If was to consult my own personal | fellings in the matter l would rather tbere would be no extension of time. as would save considerable money | in the way of hired help and other expenses, but knowing conditions as

More Factories Are Being Erected For Stakeholder Company

The Studebaker Corporation of Am erica at the first of the present year set as the possible sales mark for this year, 100000 Studebaker automobiles of all models combined. That was what the factory considered would be the greatest possible mark.
 A. R. Erskine, president of the Stu debaker Corporation said recently that already this year 60,000 Stude- baker cars had been sold, leaving on ly 10000 more cars to be sold for the remaining six months which he con sidered would be comparatively easy
 But the enormous demand for mo- tor cars and the extra effort put forth by the Studebaker sales organization showed that it was necessary for the factory to do the popping up" to keep abreast of the great flood of or ders. Consequently additional factor ies are being built to increase the Studebaker output. The company is spending $4,00O,00O at South Bend, Indiana and $1,000,OOO at Detroit which when completed by January, 1923, will increase the facilities of the plants to 325 daily for South Bend and 275 daily for Detroit This will allow the factory to practically double the 1923 output over the 1922 and will all low the company to provide the deal CTS requirements with efficiency.

 A number of test flights are being made preliminary to the flight in Sep tember. Recently a flight was made to New York and back. with a crew composed of Captain Will E. Kepner, Lieutenant F. s. Moon, and Staff Ser geant August D. Albrecht. This flight was attended with many hazards, due to thick fog which hung over New York when the airmen arrived there. But, after being lost for two hours, the crew regained their bearings, and made the return trip without mishap.
 The C-2 has been one of the most dependable lighter-than-air ships the government has ever owned. Origi- nally built for the navy by the Good year Tire & Rubber Company, it was later transferred to the army for use as a training ship and for aerial bomb ing practice.
 The original car has been supplant- ed by one designed especially for car rying and dropping bombs. As a bombing test ship the C-2 has been stationed at the Ordnance Proving Grounds, Aberdeen, Md, until orders were given to put her in shape for a cross-continent flight.

 The C-2 has B, gas capacity of 172.- 900 cubic feet, is 192 feet long. 53.7 feet wide and the envelope has a height of 56 1-2 feet. She is equipped with two 300-horsepower Hispano Suiza motors and at full speed can make 60 miles an hour. Her cruising speed. however, at which most of the transcontinental trips will be made, is 40 miles an hour. At that speed she has cruising radius of 1250 miles. It is planned to add additional gas tanks which will considerably increase the radius.
 Although built to carry useful load of 3750 pounds, the C-2 will carry no excess baggage or weight on the flight The additional weight of gas carried will be offset by dropping one man
