Four Out of Five States Have
Labor Governments,

BIZ Times Special
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 25.-The
wave of reaction that hit the world
after the war has affected the
Antipodes only in name, according
to word brought back by w. H.
Porterfield, special writer for
Scripps-Howard publications and for
mer Washington correspondent.
-Four out of Australia's five States
have labor governments" said Por-
terrified. New Zealand is in the
hands OF the reform party, but the
new government, placed there in
response to a fear of the COM
munists, has shown no disposition
to change in any respect the social
policies in vogue since the days OF
Dick Seldom.
I'm Australia every workingman is
a unionist and member OF the labor
party. and every employer is a mem
Der of either the conservative party
or the country party. The sheep
shearers' union is the biggest and
dominates the situation. The govern
ment owns all the railways. trans,
telephones and other utilities. In
Queensland the government runs
sawmills, butcher shops, coal mines
and even steamships.
I'm New Zealand, the only bad
effect of labor domination is a false
economic policy of limiting produc-
ton, a go slow attitude. New
Zealand has no slums and no I'M
employed. 1t has the lowest death
rate in the world, and practically no
poverty. 1t has the old-age pension,
giving 10 shillings to one pound a
week for every man or woman over

wage of $22 a week.

and streams. 1t is about two inches
in length, and is oval in shape,
brownish, and with a long beak and
big eyes. Like the Junebug, these
creatures are often to be found on
summer nights crawling underneath
electric lights on street corners or
dashing into the light to their death.
The creeping water-bugs are little
roundish creatures that may be
found crawling over the bottom of
ponds looking for other insects upon
which to feed. Often they come out
and crawl along the grassy. shores.
The water-skater, or water-spider as
1t is sometimes called, has a long
narrow body and six spidery legs
by which it darts over the surface
of the water with hardly a ripple.
The middle pair act like rapidly
moving oars, while the hind pair are
used to steer. The short legs in
front rest lightly on the water,
ready to shoot out and ,sieze any un.
suspecting insect that comes within
reach
Water-bugs of all sorts are easily
caught and makes interesting pets
in an aquarium. The big electric
light bug should never be put in
with small fish or frogs. for s. will
attach itself to them and kill them
by sucking their blood.
The scientific names Of two COM
mon species Of water boatman are
Notonecta undulata and Notonecta
glauca; common form OF water
scorpion, Nepa cinerea; Of water
skater, hydrotrechus remigis. The
electric light bugs are known as
Bolostomidae. In addition TO the
species described In this article,
there are a number of water beetles
to which the name waterbug Is
sometimes applied.

BIZ NEA Serpicc
III TLANTA, Ind. Dec. 26.-Ora
Al Smith, Popcorn Dick, or the
III Hoosier Popcorn King. has
won fame by raising popping corn.
But the Popcorn King gives his
children all the credit for starting
him on the road which led to fortune
and prominence.
Fifteen years ago Smith was plant
ing corn on his farm near here. A
bit of land was too wet to cultivate
when he planted his crop.
After the land had dried off, his
children persuaded him to give 1t
to them for a. popcorn patch.
The children sold the popcorn at
such nice profit that Smith con-
sidered 1t more profitable than field
corn. SO the next year he planted
seven acres and each year he has
increased his acreage. Now he grows
thousands of bushels every year.
Smith grows two varieties, known
as the White Rice and Golden
Queen. The White Rice variety
grows large and on good fertile soil
will produce thirty bushels an acre.
The Golden Queen variety grows
smaller and Is not so productive,
but is richer and brings a better
price.
The Popcorn King does not sell
his crop until almost a year after It
is grown. The crop that was har.
vested this fall Will be marketed
next July.
Smith cultivates his pop corn in
the same manner that field corn is
cultivated. He uses special plates
in his planter and averages about
eight pounds of seed to the acre.
A rat-and-mouse-pr proof crib is used
to store the corn after 1t is harvested.
The crib used is made of round tile
set in concrete.
The corn can stay there indefinite
ly, as it never gets too old to pop.
If it is kept inside Of heated room
it will sometimes become too dry to
pop, but If the dry corn is placed in
a shed or ventilated building. it will
draw enough moisture from the air
to make it just right for popping.
When Smith first started to sell
popcorn he placed it in grocery
stores. Later he travelled over the
country carrying samples and selling
to popcorn machine owners. Now he
is so well know that he sells his
entire output without leaving his
farm.

BUILDING GAINS
20 PER CENT In
INDIANA BOOM
Leads HooSer Cities,
With South Bend Sec
ond, Says ReaItor.

There was 20 per cent more build
ing activity in the State Of Indiana
during 1925. than during the pre-
ceding year. according to l.. K.
Murchie, of the Indiana State Real
Estate Board.
Murchie declared that this in
crease was largely in the northern
section Of the State, although the
southern and central portions more
than held their own.
Such a condition, 1t was pointed
out, indicates a prosperous condi-
ton throughout the State.
Busy at ElIShart
According to Murchie the greatest
building activity Of the year was
in Elkhart, Ind, with South Bend,
Mishawaka and FIT. Wayne, in the
order named.
The entire Calumet region was
swept by a building boom of no
little proportions, while Evansville
also experienced considerably activ-
ity.

improved as a. result of renewed
activity in the mines and industrial
plants OF that section.
Murchie said building increased 20
per cent in the northern section: Is
per cent in the central section and
3 per cent in the souther portion,
excludig Evansville. In that city
the increase was estimated at Is
per cent. above that of 1924.
Building of all kinds in Indianapo!
lis increased more than 30 per cent.
Mostly Homes
A fact that points to the general
stabilizng OF conditions was the fact
that the majority of the building
done was home construction.
Murchie pointed out that one man
built and sold flfty-five( new homes
during the year.
Anderson, Richmond. Mitchell,
Bedford anG Bloomington also
showed considerable increases. but
these cities were not in class with
those in northern Indiana.

RI HIS is very common name
given to several kinds OF in
sects which live in streams or
ponds. They belong to a large group
known as the Hemiptera, or true
bugs. which have beaks for piercing
their prey, and sucking blood. If
you hold one tightly it may give you
a painful jab.
The water boatman is one of the
familiar varieties. This is an oval.
shaped gray-and- black notified hug,
with one pair of it's legs very long
and fringed with hairs. These two
long legs project out from the boat
shaped body like pair Of oars and
row the insect through the water.
The back-swimmer is shaped
with sharper hind end. This curious
creature always rows himself
through the water upsidedown, with
mis- stomach uppermost. That is
why he is called back-swimmer. He
hangs from the surface by the top

TOBACCO PRODUCTS.

The real money making branch Of
the tobacco industry centered in 1872
around cigarettf production. The
output Of cigarettes showed q gain
OF = to - per cent as compared with
1924 and this rate of gain seems likely
o continue.
Production OF cigars showed net
decline of about 6 per cent rs com
Jared with the previous year. but
makers of very high grade and Of
he low priced machinc-made cigars
eported the best earnings Tor several
years The sentiment in the cigar
trade was given a better tone in De
cember by the proposals before Con
Sress that the internal revenue tax on
rigars be reduced % per cent.
The 1925 tobacco crop was improved
by Fall weather and stocks of leaf are
larger today than u year ago. Some
of the growers found little to rejoice
over in the situation. but others,
notably those growing bright leaf in
Georgia, found their product in 1928
big money crop.
Tobacco production for the year is
estimated at 1.264.0O0.0O0 pounds and
garette consumption for the first
nine months of the year totaled
% 1864 900 900.

was sold at high figures before it was
grown. Prices started 1925 at Il high
level. An average of 9S quotations
at Boston in January was around
S1.02l2 per pound. Then they
slumped sharply dropping nearly 20
points in April and hitting the low
of the year in May. July and August
saw a recovery. Then there was q
further fall, but as the last quarter
of the year progressed prices
strengthened rapidly.
Growers who had been in strong
position and able to hold surplus
woods for favorable opportunity
cleaned up accommodations then AT
good prices.
Consumption was about the same
as in 1924 throughout the first nine
months. In that time 479.760 900
pounds of wool were consumed as
compared with 470.O77. 900 in the cor
responding period of the previous
year. Since America grows only
about half the wool which is con
sumed here, the foreign markets had
a decided influence on prices. Quo
tations at foreign auction in the Fall
We're strong. France was q heavy
buyer and many dealers saw in these
purchases an attempt to turn de-
preciated francs into something more
stable. There was also increased
buying for Japanese and Russian ac-
counts.
A marked increase took place in
domestic consumptive demand in the
early Winter. owing to Improvement
in the wooden goods trade. Taken a.
a whole. 1925 was a good wear for the
wool grower but with Australian
WooiS coming on the market many
dealers fail to see q, continuation of
price advances in the first quarter
of 1926.
