FLORIDA PLANS OVERSEA WAY Plan “Route of 125 Miles Similar to Present Rail- way Tallahassee, Fla. Aug. 25.—An “Overseas Highway” paralleling the “Overseas Railway” from the Key West to the Florida mafnland, a dis- tance of approximately 125 miles, is a possibility of the not distant fu- ture if plans of Key West civic leaa- ers are carried out. They seek te supplement means of travel to and from the little city which was en- tirely cut off from the mother state until the Florida East Coast railroad was completed in 1912. Plans already have progressed to the point of investigating the feasi- bility of the road, the committee that made the survey pronouncing the matter largely one of finances. A practical highway can be constructed over the distance, except for bridges, the committee reported, for approx- imately $1,500,000. Recommendation that ferries be used over the stretch- es of open water until funds are available for bridge building was made, Unless outside aid’ is rendered, however, construction of the road may be completed only in sections, owing to Monroe county’s ability to, bond itself above $500,000. A date early in September is being discussed as the time to vote on a bond issue to begin the work, tate highway department, at st quarterly meeting, voted to give the project its assistance to the extent of engineering advice, MAN INJURED.

EGYPT USES JAP TOBACCO Tokio, Aug. 25.—Japanese tobacco of inferior quality is being sent from Japan to Egypt in increasing quan- tities, blénded there, brought back F ptian” cigarettes and sold by the Japanese tobacco monopoly at high prices.

Later before the hearing on the motion to make the temporary -receivership perma- tent an affidavit of prejudice was filed against Judge Cole, who sent the case to/ Judge Englert of Valley Ci The latter dismissed the pro- ceedings on the ground that they had been improperly brought. He said stockholders had no right to take such steps when they had other re- sources at law or in equity. Subsequently several creditors of the company appeared before Judge Englert and asked for the appoint- ment of a receiver, George, Byastrup, formerly secretary, of the company, was, then appointed temporary re- ceiver, No Judge Named Last Saturday was’ the day set to make permanent the last receivership and attorneys representing -Alten- bernd intervened, filing a petition of prejudice against Englert. Englert de- cided that he did not care to sit further in the case as long as there was objection and therefore sent the record of the case to the supreme court pending the appointment of a new judge in the case, No new “judge had been appointed up to the time of the filing of the bankruptcy petition.

D., Aug. 24—While the margin of profit existing on gasoline previous to Aug. 14, when a drop in price was recorded in North Dakota, was unduly large, with the reversal of conditions now brought about it is doubtful if it is possible for the smaller oil companies to make a rea- sonable profit this year. Henry M. Wilson of Minot, an indpendent oil dealer, declares, The same sentiment is expressed by Mr. Wilson in a letter he has addressed to Governor R. A. Nestos. “In my opinion a drop of five cents a gallon instead of 6.6 cents a gallon on the 14th would have been reason- able and would have permitted the inndependent dealers to operate and make a reasonable margin of profit,” declared Mr, Wilson. Because of the immense resources of some of the larger companies {t would be possible for them to operate at a loss for a considerable period, while the smaller companies would be forced out of business, which un- doubtedly would be very much to th? liking of the larger companies,” said Mr. Wilson. POISON AFTER FAMILY QUARREL Hillsboro, N.

Prone 608 NORSE DISPUTE NORWAY'STITLE 70 GREENLAND Brings Up Old Dispute After) Many Years Si- | lence \ PLAN NEGOTIATIONS Export Trade Only Little: Over Million; Famous For Ice Bergs H Copenhagen, Aug. 25.—Denmark| thought its title to Greenland was! without blemish after the United States agreed to waive all claims’to| the Arctic island as part of the con- sideration in the purchase of the) Danish West Indies. But the inter- est of Norway’in the land .which “Eric the Red” discovered has sud- denly revived after centuries of inac- tivity, The controversy between the | two Scandinavian countries over the ownership of the east coast of Green- land has become so acute that Den- mark now has a commission, headed by former Minister Th. Zahle, tra- veling over the Arctic island for the purpose of ‘making a\report upon! which negotiations with Norway may be based. | Many Danes think Norway is op- posing Denmark merely for th pur-/ pose of holding its claims upon Greenland as a glub which can be used in forcing better terms out of! Denmark in a new commercial trea-| ty which is to be negotiated in the near future. The chief argument used by Norway is that its fisheries be affected adversely by recognizing Danish®sovereignty over the eastern coast of Greenland. There are only about 12,000 inha-| bitants in Greenland, and of these only about 300 are Europeans, most- ly Danes. The island is chiefly fam- ous as a leaping off place for explor- ers in search of the North Pole and as thé source of icebergs which im- peril shipping on the North Atlantic courses. Its trade is a monopoly of the Danish state, which enforces pro- hibition, The total import and ex- port trade of Greenland is only slightly*more than $1,000,000 a year, and has declined since fish fats of varjous sorts are in less demand. Norwegian claims upon Greenland date from the explorations of “Erie the Red” and Leif Ericsson in the eleventh century, when the latter of these intrepid Norsemen is supposed| to have discovered the American} mainland. In the fifteenth certury Norway abandoned all communica- tions with Greenland, and late in the eighteenth century Denmark began commercial relations with the island and established its colony there. Denmark’s colony before 1921 was only about the size of New York state, but the entire island over which it now is asserting \ts control is sixteen times larger. The season is so short in summer than even the small amount of tillable land near the coast can produce only potatoes! and other vegetables which do not require much heat. REASONS FOR LOSING JOBS Ninety Per Cent of Children Have No Sense of Re- sponsibility Chicago, Aug. 25.—Lack of a sense off respopsibility, unwillingness to work hard, lack of thoroughness, false notions about salary and pro- motion, and lack of principle are the five chief reasons why 90 percefft of the boys and girls of the United States lose their first jobs, accord- ing to a report made to the @hicago Association of Commercg by A. D. White, statistician of Swift and Com- “pany. Mr.~ White’s report noted that 90 } percent of the boys and girls lose their first positions. The report also shows that in nine cases out. of every ten, the loss of the position can be traced to one of the five reasons noted. His report continues: “Lack of a sense of-responsibility is shown by. neglect of work, failure to put the most important things first, and the expression of a gener- al ‘I should worry’ attitude. “Unwillingness to work hard, is shown by being late to work, stretch- ing the lunch hour, and stealing a few minutes at the end of the day, watching the clock, and wasting the time by social conversations and tel- ephone calls during business hours. “Lack of thoroughness, is indicated most frequently by unwillingness to begin at the bottom and to go through the drudgery of mastering each step before going ahead, “The real secret of promotion lies in constantly doing more, than you are paid to do. Keep yourself under- paid. As soof as you are overpaid you are bound to go backward. “Lack of principle is shown by con- cealment of mistakes, untruthfulness, and the constant’making of éxcuses.” FOXHOLM FARMER.
