Ohio Dry Forces Are
 Making Plenty Money

Cleveland, O.-Following disclosures 'Ghat special deputies working under the provisions of state dry laws have lbesn making in some instances more ,shan S40,000 per year, and that justices of the peace, mayors and village mar .Bhals and township constables having ,sheir places of business in and near big cities have been making fortunes in ,she same manner. the entire state has become embroiled in discussion of dry law enforcement methods.
 After a decision by Attorney Gen oral C. c. Crabbe that men employed lby the state can only be employed on a straight salary basis, Prohibition Di- rector E. F. Mcdonald, at the direction of Governor A. Y. Donahey, summarily dismissed more than one hundred 'cRrd" deputies, who received as their compensation portion of the fines as- .ssssed by justices of the peace for al- aegsd violations ssf pe dry laws.
 Hard on thes hesls of this officers action, Judge John M. Killits, of the United States District Court at Toledo
 wrote to the governor and the attorney general scathing denuneiation of al- lsged methods of law enforcement fol- flowed by justices of the peace and con- stables in the neighborhood of Toledo. He declared that gross irregularities had been committed and that, in his opinion, some of the men whose duty it was to enforce the law had been guilty .of extortion and other crimes in con- Insction with its operation
 Similar stories come from all sections .of the state. Citizens declare their homes are invaded on illegal search

A Little of Everything.

Most of the city of Kimberley. South Africa, is built of "tailings, the refuse from the diamond mines, which was used by the authorities for street mak- ing and street repairing. When up-to- date methods of,dealing with the tail ings came in. it was found that this waste stuff contained quite 8 lot of small diamonds which the old methods had failed to recover, and people act ually began digging for diamonds in the streets of Kimberley. One street alone is said to have yielded S40,O00 worth of the gems.

Some Interesting
 Geographical Facts

taken from an article written by H. O. Bishop, which appeared in a recent issue of the National Republican. and will be found most interesting:
 Most people, if questioned regarding the matter, would reply that Maine is farther north than any other state. This, however, is far removed from the truth. Minnesota IS farther north than any other state, due to rather extend, ed projection into Canada. Moreover, Washington, Idaho, Montana and North Dakota are all farther north than Maine.
 Many people are certain that Texas is the most southerly state. The dis. junction, however, belongs to Florida. Key West, situated on Thompson Island, or Bone Key, is the southern most city of the United States.
 New York and Pennsylvania are not the largest states east of the Mississippi river, as many think. The five largest states lying between the Mississippi river and the Atlantic ocean are: Geor- gia, 59,265 square miles; Florida. 58y y666 square miles; Michigan, 57,980 square miles: Illinois. 56. 665 square miles; and Wisconsin, 56, 066 square miles.
 The five largest states west of the Mississippi river are: Texas, 265, 1896 square miles: California, 15S, 297 square miles; Montana, l46, 997 square miles; New Mexico, l23,634 square miles; and Arizona. ll3, ,956 square miles.
 Twenty-two of our 48 states are west of the Mississippi, and 26 east of that important stream.
 StatoB with the most water-rivers, lakes and irlets-are:: Minnesota, 3,824 square miles; Florida. 3,8O5 square miles; North Carolina, 3,6s6 square miles; Texas, 3,498 square miles; and Maine, 3,145 square miles.
 New Mexico has the least amount of water-13l square miles.
 Florida leads in tidal coast mileage, with 3,751 miles. Other states with more than LOGO miles of coast line are: North Carolina, 1,87l miles; Washing ton, l, ,72l miles; Louisiana, l,713 miles; Texas, 1882 miles; California, 1,555 miles; Maine, l,3t9 miles; Virginia, I,280 miles; South Carolina 1,24l miles; Maryland l,O45 miles.
 The lowest spot in the United States is Death Valley, Calf., which is 276 feet below the level of the sea.
 There is only one place where four states come together at right angles These states are U6ah, Colorado. Ari- zona and New Mexico One monument marks the corner of all four states.
 Travelling due northward from Ha- vana, Cuba, one would finally land at Akron, Ohio.
 The Panama canal Is straight south from Pittsburgh, Pa.
 The large portion of Alaska IS in the same latitude as Iceland, the lower end of Greenland, Norway, Sweden and Finland. The town of Seward, Alaska, is no farther north than Christiania, Norway, Stockholm, Sweden, and Pe- trograd, Russia. The islands of Alaska are in the same latitude as Ireland. Scotland, England, Denmark. Germany, Poland, Lishuania, Latvia and EsthO- nia. The half-way point between Washington, D. C., and Alaska is San Francisco.

Jujuy, a place of considerable im- portance in Argentina, presents to the world the edifying spectacle of 8 city councillor who cannot address his fel- low members or understand what they say. The member in question speaks only Arabic. An Arab by birth, and of such short residence in Argentina that he speaks no Spanish, he has nevertheless been elected to the city council by his admiring fellow citizens.
 A claim is put forward for one James Chalmers of Arbroath, Scotland, who submitted specimens of adhesive post age stamps to committee of the House of Commons in 1884. Rowland Hill is also credited with the invention, hav- ing exDerimented with adhesives in 1857. As Hill directed the British pos tai arrangements for many years, he was probably the first man to lick a stamp.

ADVANCES
IN GRAIN VALUES
Week Sees Wheat, Corn,
Oats and Provisions Jump
to New Levels.
By the Associate Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 13.-Record-
breaking advances. in. prices for
wheat. corn, oats and provisions have
resulted this week from unusually
broad general buying based on such
factors as an authoritative estimate
that Europe would require $4,000, 900
bushels OF United States wheat be-
tween January 1 and July i, next.
Compared with a week ago, wheat
this morning was 5A to 7x cents
showing ~ to SIS cents gain and
provisions at a rise varying from 20
to 81 cents.
Quotations Stand Up.
For the most part, no downturns
in quotations took place except tenn
porarily as a consequence Of big SELL
ing to realize profits. ~
1t was current gossip that any
weakly held stocks of wheat in Eu-
rope were being rapidly disposed of,
and with indications that shipments
from Chicago and other centers were
being expedited there was apparent
Likelihood of an impending further
shrlnkage Of the domestic visible
supply total. aside from the decrease
shown last Monday. Falling off of
the amount OF wheat on ocean pas
sage was likewise deemed significant.
Virtual ending Of the lake move
ment of Canadian wheat was another
source of strength in the wheat mar
ket here, and so, too, was a reported
enlargement of the domestic demand
for -four. The fact, moreover, that
No. 2 red Winter wheat, the standard
contract grade in Chicago, had COM
manded as high as $1.74 bushel In
Kansas City seemed to act as a par
ticular stimulus to proponents of
higher prices here.
Sharp Rise i'm Corn.
Advices of severe crop damage in
Argentina had much to do with the
ascent Of corn values. and were off,
set only In part by news that drought
there had been relieved by rain. Oats
followed corn.
Buying of provisions was acceler-
ated by the disparity between the hog
market and prevailing prices for
feed.
