40 per cent of normal. Coupled with the fact that there was a 70 Ter cent reduction in the yield of the second rice crop last fall, due also to drought, the shortage this year will have serious conse- qucncos.
 Rice farmers near rivers and canals rcsorted to irrigation and in their fields the crop is practically assured. Such fields, however, are few and far between and the crop they produce will be small com pared with the amount needed.
 The most lamcntahle fact about the situation is that the farmer will need two or three years 10 re- cover, granting that 1880 and 1881 are good years. The majority are too poor to carry reserve seed and they farm year after year, trusting to luck that they will produce enough grain to furnish food for the winter. seed for the next plant ing and, if extremely lucky, a sur plus for sale.

Washington, Sept. 1 (IlD-Any fore and since national prohibition knows that he obtains better results, more productivity, from his en- ployes under the present prohlbitlon system Senator Arthur Cappcr, pub fisher of the Topeka Capital and Farm Journals, said ill discussing his reasons for barring liquor from his offices and prohibiting drinking among his workers.
 Senator Cappor, who announced recently that he permitted neither liduOr nor its consumption in his various departments, said his req sons for this attitude Wer" not prl- marily moral, but were based on sound economics. He added however, that he would not go so fer as Henry Ford, who indicated he would cease production if there were re turn of the Qld prohibition days.
 "rhc old type of newspaper man who drank heavily is becoming thso- letr," Cappor said. 'Therc is less drinking among ncWSpapermen to- day than ever. They and their en- ploycrs both have learned that they can work more effectively, meet competition more efficiently, If drink is taboO.'
 The rule barring alcohol Is not new among the Capper publications. It has been enforced several years. Drinking everywhere is on the de cline, the senator said partly be- cause of prohibition enforcement. partly because big business is cll- forcing its belief that better results can be obtained from non-drinking pruplONpS"

 The Moslcm Arabs, however mostly send their children to gov ernmcnt or mission schools.
 The Christian institutions are for the greater part in Roman Catholic hands. In 1926, for instance, the Roman Catholic schools had a pupil attendance of 1O,400 against $500 for the Protcstants and 2100 for the Greek Orthodox. This is all the more noteworthy inasmuch as the Orthodox are numerically the strongest among the Christian de- nominations in Palestine.
