Chance Brought Wild
Rice to United States

Rice came to America by accident. In
the year 1894 rice-laden vessel from
Madagascar bound for Liverpool put
in to Charleston harbor in a raging
storm. The captain, noting that the
land and soil near Charleston resem-
bled that where the rice was grown,
gave the governor of the colony a
handful, telling him that it might grow
if planted, relates the Washington
Star.
The governor planted the rice and
several months later harvested the
first crop ever grown in America.
Since that time rice has steadily adj
vanced until now it is leading prod
uct of the Southern states. 1t first
spread into Georgia from the Caro-
linas, and with the beginning of the
Civil war it entered-Louisiana now the
leading rice state of the Union. 1t
gradually found its way to Florida,
Mississippi, Alabama, Texas and, final
" into Arkansas. Later its-eultiva-
ton was tried with success in Cali
fornia.

City Planning Important

improvements planned for five, ten,
or even fifty-year periods will result
In substantial savings for cities,
George B. Ford, city planning con-
sultant of New York city, said jD an
address at Dallas, Tex, at the ma
tional conference on city planning.
Detroit, Mr.. Ford said, estimated ex-
penses on a ten-year Improvement
program would reach $779,991i77 in
1926. Two years later, the program
was revised with saving of $780,
100000, he said.
Taxes sometimes will advance
slightly in cities which have adopted
budgeted programs for huge. munich
pal improvements, but such advances
would occur anyhow, he said
In preparing for a number of years
ahead, cities escape much of the "wan-
ton waste" and many OF the "mis-
takes" that have been made in the
past, Mr.. Ford said.

Bears are now priced as game in

"The Maine commissioner of game
advises hunters to use heavy rifle
in bear hunting, nothing less than the

a blow with enough shock to put a
bear down for keeps. He says that
only an average of one out of four
bear hit by Maine hunters is secured,

Which meant so much to you.
He tried to cut expense in two,
And that is worth your vote.
