(By United Press) Los Angeles, Ca., Feb. 4.—Flying fish have long been familiar but now the flying fisherman is introduced. Captain John D. Loop, whale-hunter, has adopted the hydrpplane in place of the time-honored dory. From it he hunts for sardines and whales. The hydroplanes’ adaptation to whaling is a development of the war when airplanes were used to search the seas for submarines. From the air the hunter can see beneath the surface of the water. ‘The chief part played by the air- men in fishing is to locate the schools and then the whalers or the tishing boats are sent out to finish the job. An attack on the whale from the sky, however, by means of bombs or ma- chine guns, is not an impossible de- velopment, flyers say. Loop, who long has hunted whales off the Lower California coast, al- ready has had big success in locating schools of sardines from the air. WEEDS ABSORB RAIN. (By United Press) : Fargo, Feb. 4.—North Dakota will cease to suffer from drought when the weeds are exterminated, accord- ing to Dr. J. H. Worst, state immi- gration commissioner. Dr.. Worst contends that the state has rain fall enough if it were not wasted, but the weeds absorb one-half of this robbing the grains. WILSON FIT TO PRESIDE. (By United Press) Washington, Feb. 4.—President Wilson has made such progress in recovering that he is in fit condition to preside over the cabinet if atten- tion is demanded. WILL AWARD PRIZES. ‘Watertown, S. D., Feb. 4.—Prizes will- be awarded for premium exhibits at the annual show and school of the South Dakota Corn and Grain Grow- ers’ association here February 4 to 6. Mr. and Mrs. David Swanson, who have visited at the Edward Ander- son home, left last evening for Ken- mare, N. D., where they will visit relatives for a short time before re- turning to their home at Limerick, ., Canada.

MOVE IN RIGHT DIRECTION Pennsylvania’s Good Work in Tree Planting Should Be Copied by Other Commonwealths. The state of Pennsylvania planted more than 3,000,000 trees in 1919 and by so much has helped the na- tion. The state has a long record in this respect,” as Pennsylvania’s his- tory shows that in 128 John Ber- tram set out many forest trees in his botanical garden on the banks of the Schuylkill near Philadelphia, and among these were Norway spruce, bald cypress and white pine. Since his day, population, needs and methods have multiplied in almost geometrical progression until what America can do shows what America must do. Palestine, Armenia and Montenegro show what deforesta- tion means and has meant for the old world. As a matter of business administration, it is a fascinating picture presented by the artistic, ag- ricultural and commercial improve- ment possible when each state zeal- ously goes about the work of forestry in the way that Pennsylvgnia has done; indeed, the warp and woof of what the public can bring to pass, is wonderful beyond description. Lived Long in Seclusion. Forty years in the District of Co- lumbia without having set foot on the streets! Such was the record of sev- eral of the sisters of the Visitation convent, formerly located at Connectt- cut avenue and L street Northwest, T am told on authority. For forty years these sisters lived in the schoot, taking their exercise in the spacious grounds bhack of the building, sur- rounded by a high wall, As you go past the building now you see it al- most razed to the ground by wreckers, the building and site having heen sold recently for a bhig price. So the good sisters at last came forth from their cells and trod again the strebts of the national capital for the first time in forty years.—Washington Star, MORE THAN HE 60ULD STAND Oyster Bay Salesman’s Sympathy for Customers Caused Him to Give Up His Position. This sugar shortage and high cost of food business isn’t all a onc-sided sorrow, to judge from the reaction in the heart throbs of the head clerk in one of Oyster Bay’s largest grocery stores, a New York Tribune corre- spondent writes. The sympathetic clerk 1s I'red Walker, and he handed his employer, R. W. Royce, his resig- nation the other day. “You’ll have to get another head clerk, that’s-all there is to it,” he an- nounced. “I can’t stand it any longer.” A fellow employee vouches for the statement that tears glistened in the man’s eyes as he made known his de- cision. “Why, Fred!” exclaimed the grocer. “You astound me. Haven’t we treated you like one of the firm ?”- “Tt isn’t how you’ve treated me, boss; it’s how I have to treat our customers. They come in asking for sugar and I have to refuse them. They buy a bar of soap and I have to charge 2 cents more for it than I did last week. It hurts in here,” and the faithful chief clerk tapped his breast. : “No,” he said brokenly, “I'm go- ing away from here. I'm going to study to be a real estate agent or a plumber or something, so my con science will be clear.” Mr. Royce is in the field for an in dividual with a heart of flint. NAMES TO BE SUNG. The supervisor in charge of the Blackfeet agency at Browning, Mont., has issued a ci.cular adver- tising for sale certain Indian lands. The list of the allottees shows that the years have not driven out all the picturesque Indian names. There are Chief All Over and Richard Calf Tail and Blanket Woman Don’t Go Out among the old-fashioned kind. But what sort of name is Everybody Looks at Marrow Bones? It sounds like a song. And Annie Rides at the Door might be the title of a poem. Lucy Iron Eater is no name for a gentle lady, but it is easier to write than Yellow Bird Takes Gun on Tep or Strikes on Top Morning Eagle. Petrified Russell has a Puritan sound. Chipping Too Deep Night Shoots is too deep for us.—New York Sun. NO'| BOOMING. ] haven’t seen you mentioned in connection with a presidentigl boom.” N “No,” said Senator Sorghum. “ig rather be inconspicuous in conn tion with a position I hold than to be prominent in connection -with one T’ll probably never get.” Art Criticism. One day n German subnitern who had been ordered to find béllets pre- sented himself at my house, writes a Belgian woman in the World's Work. T showed him ameng others the room occupied for more than two years by the American delégates of the reljef commission, in which a reproduction of an ancient work of art—a bust without arms—stood on the mantel- plece. The subaltern thought the room appeared to be comfortable, but, seeking to make himself disagreeable, he raised his eyebrows, after looking at the reproduction, and said in a rude voice: “Why, madam, did you cut the arms off this bust in a room destined to be occupied by a German officer?” Words failed me.~.What could I say? He left the house with an of- fended air. But the incident had no sequel, which was most extraordinary. THEATER FOR CHILDREN. Washington is to have a theater exclusively for children, with boys and girls from the playgrounds of the city making up the casts of the plays presented. The theater will be,in the Community Service club. Decision to launch the juvenile play- house was reached at a conference the other day between officials of the playground department and the community service organization.— Washington Star.
