FOOD MARKETS DOUBLE
DEMAND IN 10 YEARS

The big Four" farm market CEN
ters of the United States are New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia and De-
troit. And the lesser big Ten" ac-
cording to figures compiled by Frank
George of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture for Better Crops maya
zine are Cleveland, st. Louis, Balti-
more, Boston, Pittsburgh, Los An
geles, San Francisco, Buffalo, Wash
ington and Milwaukee.
1.-The quantity of food supplies re-
ceived at some of the big consuming
markets was practically doubled
during the last 10 years, taxing the
machinery of distribution to the ut
most" writes Mr.. George. New
terminals have had to be erected in
some places to handle the Gargan-
tuan food supply, and plans have
been projected for relocating city
distribution centers.
New York City now receives in a
year more than 10000 cars of 10
leading fruits and vegetables, COM
pared with $4,000 cars in 1920. Chi
cago gets 10000 cars Of these pro-
ducts, as compared with $4,000 in
1920. Philadelphia receives $1,000
cars compared with 1880 in 1920.
Detroit receives $4,000 cars as COM
pared with 5000 in 1920.
Carload shipments Of leading
fruits and vegetables now total up
ward of 100000 cars a year, COM
pared with 100000 ten years ago.
Per capita consumption Of meats
has decreased somewhat but the to-
tai consumption has increased, and
the total consumption of all food
and fibre products has increased
tremendously during the last dec
lde."

lie Printer apparently expects an
increase in the distribution of free
documents this year because it is
campaign year.
An illustration of how the Con-
gressionaI franking privilege is
used and abused may be CLEANED
from the report of a congressman
to his constituents as published in
late issue of the Congressional
Record. This legislator rounding
out his first term makes a bold bid
for reelection by reciting his
achievements in behalf of his con-
stituents. The record stamps him
as messenger boy at a salary of
$4,000 year. Among his contribu-
tions to the reading matter and
eventually the waste baskets of his
district was the distribution of $780,
600 pieces of franked mail No
doubt, he was obliged to pay a por-
ton of the printing costs, but a
private citizen mailing this ire
mendous volume would have paid
nearly $4,000 postage, an item
which is now checked off and paid
by the general taxpayers.
At the beginning of the political
campaign the Civil Service Com
mission is passing the word that
political activity on the part of Fed
eral employees having a civil ser
vice rating is not good form. The
Commission has a difficult task in
attempting to restrain office hold
ers, especially those having sufi-
Gent political influence to give
them a paid Office over the rank and
file of the government employees.
All of this class realize full we'll
that a change in Administration as
sures a race for their jobs. The
Commission endeavors to enforce |
the law but ordinarily they find |
themselves helpless against the
loopholes that political exigencies
permit.

17-YEAR LOCUSTS SWARM
EASTERN STATES ON TINE

AS astronomers time the cycles OF
the comet, so naturalists time the
cycles of the broods of 17-year 10
Gusts or cicades which swarm and
disappear in various parts of Ameri-
ca at regular intervals.
Now, after slumbering in the ca. tn
for half human generation, Brood
IL" as it is known to scientists, has
dug itself out according to schedule,
and is swarming over the Atlantic
seaboard states. During June and a
part of July the rasping hum Of my
riads of wings will be heard in Con-
necticut, New Jersey, Southern New
York, Eastern Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Virginia, and North Carolina.
This does not mean, however, that
the East will be afflicted by the des-
olation which marked the visitation
of locusts in biblical times. Accord
ing to w. T. Davis of St George,
Staten Island, who has named half
the varieties of cicada known in
North America and has written
many government bulletins on them,
the 17-year locusts have sucking
rather than a biting mouth. They
may harm the foliage of a few oak,
hickory and chestnut trees, or of
young orchards, but the damage will
be due largely to the eggs they de-
post in the tree twigs and plant
stems.
This years locusts are born Of
eggs that were deposited in 1911,
during the last swarming of Brood
II. The pupae borrowed into the
earth, cast off their outer shells from
time to time as they passed through
various stages Of development, and
now are emerging to enjoy a life of
about six weeks above ground he
fore they mate and die.

THE LOWLY VEGETABLE

The last statistical report of the
truck crop of the country shows that
there are now approximately 10000
acres, scattered in twenty-eight diff
ferent states, devoted to the raising
of cabbage. There are over 100000
acres planted annually in canta-
oupes. Sweet corn is another large
crop, necessitating the planting of
more than 100000 acres for the ma
tional consumption. There are more
than 100000 acres of cucumbers
planted annually. More than 100000
acres are devoted to the raising Of
lettuce for the market. Green peas
are raised in about thirty different
states, the total acreage planted an
nually exceeding 100000 acres. The
tomato is raised in thirty-fve differ
ent states, on land amounting to
$4,000 acres.-Thrift Magazine.

oBREGoN AssAssINATED
Seattle, Flash. (P)-Obregon, Presi- dent-Elect of Mexico, was assass- mated late today.

MEXICO, R)-General Alvaro Obregon, President-Elect of Mexico was assassinated at a banquet in restaurant in San Angel, twelve miles south of Mexico City, shortly after two PM. The assassin was not immediately identified but has been arrested. Obregon was shot five times through the body.
 General Alvaro Obregon, elect ed President of Mexico in Sep tember, 1920, following the esta- blishment of provisional govern ment and the death of Carranza, began his military career when he was 2S years old. He had baen student, machinest, farmer and merchant in Nogales, Sonora, the town of his birth. where his fam fly was well known. and first took the field at the head of 400 neigh bors to protect their property from the footing Of organized bandits. He was medium sized, stockily built, fine specimen of his Irish Indian blood. It has been said of him that he was "tke only Mexican revolutionary general who never lost a battle."
 The keynote to Obregon's char acter he recently voiced in the following words: "I would rath- CT teach the Mexican people the use of toothbrush than to handle rifle. I would rather see them in schools than upon battlefields. prefer any day good electrician machinest. carpenter. or farmer to soldier" His attitude toward foreign investors was shown at the same time by his declaration that "a country without capital is like a boy without blood"

RUSSIANS PLANNING FURTHER SEARCH
 FOR AAIUNDSEN

MOSCOW, [P)-New Russian plans for a further search for Amundsen and his party are d'v- eloping as the Krassin is pound- ings it's way toward Advent Bay for fuel. The Maligin is fighting a heavy storm while hunting for Amundsen. Professor Wise, who is the head of the Maligin eXpedi- ton, declared that he felt that all speculation concerning the probable location of Amundsen was mere guess work. He suggests that air planes fly out from the Krassin and Malgin. The Soviet Confer ence expresses itself very optimi- stic regarding Arunds ms chanc- es of succor. They point out that meterolc gical condition and ice this year are far more favorable than usual. -..
