NEW ZEALAND CHEESE
 COMPETES WITH CANADA

TORONTO, Feb. '. - Canadian dairymen are concerned over ~ ture of their industry, and steps to save it from a further slump are being considered by provincial ard federal agricultural authorities. The chief cause for concern is the in roads that New Zealanders have made in the British market where, for many years, Canadian cheese held first position.
 J. A. Ruddick, Dominion dairy commissioner, admits that the indus try is facing a crisis, the like of which has never arisen,' and M. N Empey, president of the Eastern Dairymen's Association, has ex- pressed the same view.
 Grading of cheese under federal supervision and some change in the texture of the product prepared for export are among the measures pro- posed
 Between 1911 and 1921, federal fig ures show, exports of cheese to Great Britain declined from 1S1 ,893,724 lbs annually to 133, ,629, ,340 pounds, while in the same period New Zealand's shipments to the mother country ln- creased from 49,1S7,3S4 pounds to 60,911, ASA pounds.

 SPOKANE, Feb. 7.-Alfred John son, who has been one of the leading jockeys on eastern and southern race tracks for several years, has arrived in Spokane after what he regards as a strenuous but his most success ful season, and will spend the re- mainder of the winter at his home here.
 Johnson achieved national fame when he piloted Norwich to victory in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, near Louisville, Ky, last May, and won the $5O,O0O purse for the turf classic His final triumph of the season was when he won both di- visions of the Pimlico Futurity at Baltimore, Md, November 4, and car ried away the S80,000 purse offered for the event.
 Johnson won more than 20 stakes during six months of racing last year for total of $290,000. This is said to be more than double the win nings of any other jockey on Amer ican tracks last year. Johnson is only P years old. He races under con- tract to Willis Sharpe Kilmer, of New York, receiving $100 a month and 10 per cent of his winnings. His percentage for last year is estimated at between s2O,OOO and $30,000.
 The little jockey plans on spending the next month on the family farm near here and in hiking over the surrounding country to keep himself in shape and to rest his nerves. He expects to leave here sometime in February for Hot Springs, Ark, for a month of training to reduce to his racing weight of 112 pounds.
 His first race of the 1923 season will probably be about the middle of April, when the season opens in Maryland. He is looking forward to this years Kentucky Derby which will be run about May 15, for Sally's Alley, considered the best of the Kilmer stables, has been entered.

 EDUCATION

BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. 7. - World
 peace through education will be fos tered by prominent educators from all parts of the world who will meet here
 for two weeks preceding the National
 Educational Association Convention in
 Oakland, an adjoining city, next July, | according to an announcement by Dr. | Walter Morris Hart, dean of the sum-
 mer session of the University of Cali fornia. Designation of a day to be known
 as "World Good Will Day" and a more
 effective system of the teaching of in- ternational civics are among the pro- posals to be considered at the con- ference.
 In his announcement Hart set forth
 the objects of the conference as fol- lows:
 To promote friendship, justice and good will among the nations of the
 earth. To bring about a worldwide toler- ance of the rights and privileges Of all nations regardless of race or creed. To develop an appreciation of the value of the inherited gifts of na- tionality through centuries of devel-
 opment and progress.
 To secure more accurate and Satis- fving information and more adequate
 statements in the text books used in the schools of the various countries To foster a national comradeship and a confidence which will produce more sympathetic appreciation among nations.
 To inculcate into the minds and hearts of the rising generation those | spiritual values necessary to carry 1 forward the principles emphasized in
 the conference on limitation of arma-
 ments.
 l In all the schools to emphasize the
 unity of mankind, the evils of war
 and the necessity of universal peace. A far reaching system of exchange | teachers and students between na-
 tions is another idea to be discussed at the conference.
