Germany's Charm

The periods of the Renaissance
and the Middle ages were not alone
in creating a prodigal abundance of
imposing buildings and monuments
of art leaving them as impressive
memorials of former splendor. In
the Eighteenth century, when the
other great peoples had long since
achieved internal unity-thereby
gathering all energies in the mighty
capitals, in London, Paris, Madrid
Germany was still an old, fantastic
mosaic. 1t was in this period of
princely dominion that the singular
dispersion of German cultural life
manifested itself, crystalizing around
a multitude Of great and small spots.
This evolved n brilliantly variegated
picture whose magic charm persists
to the present day.-Exchange.

Lions Bred for Market
by Astute Californian

A farmer of Ell Monte, Calf, some
years ago learned that there was a
steady demand among circusses,
ZOOS, and moving picture corpora
tions for the king of beasts, so he
purchased several adult lions and
set up a lion farm. The original
lions were imported from their ma
tive haUnts in Kenya colony, Africa.
The lions of the California farm
have spacious runways, guarded by
stout steel fences too high for them
to hurdle. They have shelters to
which they may retreat in rainy
weather, though most Of their time
is spent basking under the rays of
the warm California sun. The eli
mate of southern California is very
much the same as that of the high
plateaus of Kenya, so the lions of
the farm feel perfectly at home.
There is ready market for young
lions.

Soybeans are vigorous in growth,
easy to cultivate and mature in a
short time. Usually they do not de-
crease the crop of corn when plant
ed with 1t, and are often worth as
much as the corn crop itself. The
beans are used for grazing live
stock, especially hogs; moving for
forage; turning under for soil i'm
provement, and are harvested for
seed, leaving the vines and stalks
on the land. They make fine quail
ity Of hay and cure more readily
than most hays. They stand wet
weather better than cowpeas and
are not badly injured by dry
weather.
AS sales crop, the hay and seed
both bring good prices. In many
communities of eastern Carolina
farmers are building up their soils
with this crop, while at the same
time they are selling seed and hay

years ago when only a small acreage

Corn as Fuel

restricted by the former statute.
The Legislature, summoned in ex-

affixed his signature. Since 1t was
passed by both House and Senate with
two-thirds majorities, the law went into

Under the old law, the proration rules
of the commission, Texas oil regulatory
