Appreciated the Worms.

While touring the West a motorlst
ran across some good fishing and de-
cided to set up camp for couple of
weeks. Help was hard to secure, but
finally he got hold of stray Digger
indian who was engaged to attend to
various tasks about the camp. But
each morning the tourist was seen dig
ging his own bait.
He was asked why he didn't make
the Indian do that.
Cant trust him with these fat
worms" was the reply. "He considers
one of them greater delicacy than
any fish,"

Sure Enough, 1t Was.

One evening when l was ready to
leave the office the boss called me
back to write another short letter.
When I had finished it and locked up
my typewriter he said to enclose a
self-addressed stamped envelope for
reply. Being in too much of hurry
to get out my typewriter again, ad-
dressed 1t by hand.
Several days after that, when was
sorting the mail one morning, we were
talking of the lllegible handwriting on
many of the envelopes. Just then I
turned up an envelope which tossed
across the desk to him, saying: Isn't
that perfectly beautiful handwriting?
If everyone wrote as well as that we
wouldn't have any trouble reading It,"
He looked at 1t and answered dryly,
Its too bad we aren't all as perfectly
satisfied with ourselves as you seem to
be- I think that is an envelope you
addressed yourself, isn't it?"
1t was.-Portland Oregonian.

Asks Reconsideration of Rail Merger

ashington.-Further consideration
by the Supreme Court of the Southern
Pacific-Central Pacific railroad merger
was suggested by the department of
Justice in brief filed at st. Paul,
Mimi, before the Federal Circuit
Court. In view of the conflict be-
tween the Supreme Court decision or
lering the Southern Pacific to release
its hold on the Central Pacific, and a
later Interstate commerce commission
rider permitting the combination to
continue on the ground of public in
crest, the government suggested that
he highest court should give new con-
,idcrntion to the whole matter.

AMERICAN ARMY OFFICER is ONE
OF FIRST TO BE GIVEN
LIBERTY BY BANDITS
CAPTIVES ARE SAFE
REMAINDER OF PRISONERS TO
BE RELEASED SHORTLY; OUT
LAWS YIELD TO GOVERNMENT

Washington.-Unco release
by the Chinese bandits of two of their
captives, Maj Robert A. Allen, U. S.
A., and w. Smith, was confirmed Off
cially in II dispatch received at the
State Department from Consul Davis
at Lincheng. The consul added that
the negotiations for release of the re-
naming prisoners held by the bandits
continue favorably.
From Minister Schurman at Peking,
under an earlier date, the department
received II cablegram telling of let
ter written by Major Allen before his
release and opposing an attempted res
cue by force. I'VE are all in good
health" Major Aliens letter said. I'VE
are well treated. We are not suffer-
ing. We are in no danger. We can
remain in good health indefinitely IL
we scrupulously regard the rules of
hygiene necessary in China.
"Why be impatient at the slOwness
of the Chinese government in secur-
ing our release? Would it not be
better for us to remain here month
or two longer and eventually be re-
leased with whole skins than TO have
our lives endangered because our
relatives and friends outside or some
of us here are inpatient at the de-
ay?"
The minister's cablegram quoted
John Powell, the American news
paper man, designated to participate
in negotiations for release of the
prisoners, as having approved the
plan of the Chinese government to
strengthen its military Gordon around
the bandits and to exert "slight pres
sure without, however, opening any
hostilities." Powell reported that the
bandit chiefs We're growing more de-
sirous to negotiate with the Chinese
officials.
The cablegram said regular sup
plies of food, medicines and clothing
were being sent in to the prisoners.

Winnipeg Great Wheat Market.

Vice President ID. C. Coleman, Cana
dian Pacific railway, addressing the
Winnipeg Kiwanis club recently, spoke
of the record crop harvested during
the season just ended and said that
Winnipeg is now the greatest wheat
market in the world in point of re-
ceipts. For three months ending No
vember, inspections at Chicago totaled
S,275,000 bushels, at Minneapolis 49,
969,1G0 bushels, while at Winnipeg
they reached the enormous figure of
los, S,231, ,513 bushels. Mr.. Coleman
said further, in regard to shipments
of grain over the Canadian Pacific
railway, that from September l, on the
average of 1,016 cars were loaded each
day in Winnipeg for transportation
East, which meant that loaded train
left Winnipeg for the head of the lakes

period from September 1 to November

CUTS FOOD SUPPLY
Diminishing Flood of the Nile a
Serious Problem.
Engineering Commission Proposed to
Visit African Lakes With View
to Meeting Situation.

We learn from the Cairo correspond
ent of the London Times that the
Egyptians are IL good deal concerned
over the diminishing floods of the Nile.
In spite of the great dam ut Assuan,
which now covers with water the beau
tiful ruined temples at Philae, the sum-
mer supply of water for irrigation Is
almost always insufficient. The rice
crops in lower Egypt have failed for
several years in succession. Accord
ingly a commission of engineers is pro-
posed to visit the great African lakes
in which the Nile finds its source and
see whether any works in that region
can be undertaken with probability of
increasing the flow of the river in its
lower courses.
Climatologists are not hopeful on
that point. 1t Is of course a fact that
under British government agriculture
has widely expanded in Egypt, SO that
larger demands are made upon the
Nile than in earlier times. But it Is
not probable that the present needs are
us great as they were three or four
thousand years ago, when Egypt was
the foremost civilized state in the
world. AS a matter of fact there Is
probably less water in the Nile than
there was then, and less than there
was even hundred or two hundred
years ago. There is every evidence
that the great desert belt that extends
across Africa and Asia at or a little
above the tropic of Cancer is growing
larger and drier. The Syrian desert,
which is now an utter waste, was
crowded with cities and full of culti
waited fields only two or three thousand
years ago. MesOpotamia ana Persia,
ancient seats of civilization, could
hardly have risen so high if their eli
mate then had been what 1t is now.
There are plenty of evidences that the
Sahara and the Libyan desert have en-
croached on the fertile lands of north
Africa and of the Sudan. The old
"granary of Rome" In Tunis is now
largely an arid waste. 1t is not sur
prising If the Nile draws less water
than it used to from its tributaries in
to by evaporation.
Most geographers agree that the des-
erts are growing at present. Some be-
lieve that it is only an inevitable step
In the drying up of the earth and ex-
pect the process to go on forever,
though perhaps with occasional remis-
sions. Other scholars say that there is
evidence of an extraordinary amount
of fluctuation in the climate of the
world; that there have been much
drier periods than ours, as well as
much rainier ones and that the widen
ing of the northern desert band is only
phase in a longtime movement of
climate from wet to dry and back
again. But as these secular move
ments are extremely slow, often taking
many thousands of years to complete
their swing, none of us now living will
be here long enough to know which
theory is the right one.-Youth's Com
panion.
