LOST OUT BY SMALL MARGIN Daring Adventurer Played for Millions and Almost Succeeded in Dis- honest Venture. A remarkable rogue, at a time when the competition for that distinction is keen, was arrested recently. By name Surran, before the war he kept a small shop, eking out his legitimate profits by receiving stolen goods. This stage of his life ended in a blaze and he was sentenced to three months’ tm- prisonment for burning down hie place of business to yet the tusurance money, Since the war he has become the most expert of all the bandits who prey on the immense dumps left be- hind by the American and British, and by perseverance he got together a large sum. Last August he tried a higher flight. Well dressed and suave, he presented himself at a certain dump in France and bought the whole place, the sum demanded belng £1,- 000,000 at the present rate of ex- ebange. To arrive at this end with- out actually paying a penny to the government he had to distribute £10,- 000 in bribes and tips, He immediately started to cart off his “purchase,” but lack of capital was his downfall. He had hardly a cent left over from his gigantic cam- paign of bluff and bribery, and could not pay the wagon drivers, who com- plained to the police—Maunchester (Eng.) Guardian. ADRIAN ONLY ENGLISH POPE le Said to Have Been Elevated to High Office Contrary to His Own inclinations. Pope Adrian IV was by birth an Euglishman, and the only ope of that bation who ever occupied the papal throne. He was a native of Langley, in Hertfordshire. He was born before A. D, 1100, His real name was Nich- Olas Breakspear. He is sald to have left England as a beggar, and to have become a servant as lay brother in a monastery near Avignon, in France, where he studied with such diligence thet in 1137 he was elected abbot. His merits soon became known to Pope Il], who made him cardinal- bishop of Albla in 1146, and sent him two years later as his legate to Den- mark and Norway, where he convert- ed many inhabitants to Christianity. Soon after his return to Rome, Nich- olas was unanimously chosen pope against his own inclination, {n No- vember, 1154. Henry II of England, on hearing of his election, sent the abbot of St. Albans and three bishops to Rome with his congratulations. Must Keep on “Making Good.” Life is an everlasting struggle. Nothing but the keenest attention to its great problems will bring lasting success. There are many that gaip temporary attention and they think they have made a name for them- selves. The fact Is there are thou- sands of others with just as much head striving for # place in the sun, They are watching every loophole for an opportunity. Often the fellow who starts right with a small lead can achieve almost anything he sets out to. So folks have learned to take ad vantage of everything that turns up or that they can turn up. That means you are never safe in resting on past laurels, It's a case of making good eternully or falling down before you have finished your course. Air Mail Stamps. Over forty varieties of specially de- signed postage stamps for air mails have already been published, much to the joy of the philatelists. Italy has the credit for the first air stamp which was issued by the Italian postal au thorities as long ago as 1917. The United States, Canada, Newfoundland, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland, Esthonia, Colombia and the Belgian Congo have all considered it desirable to issue spe- cial stamps to their peoples, Tunis has even produced a second contribu- tion, Needless to mention, Germany and Hungary were early in the field, rightly considering it an excellent means of educating the public in the practical side of aviation, Aide Electrical Welder. Ordinarily an electric welder must remove his helmet that he may better see the finer detalis of his work. The main improvement which a new helmet has over the old masks ts the mounting of the window, so that the protective screen can be raised with the left hand of the worker and he can obtain a bet- ter view of the work, yet the screen falls back into place when he Is ready to go ahead with the welding. This screen or window is made of chemical- ly prepared glass to protect the eyes from ultra-violet rays, Better Than Alarm Clock, Instead of leaving word at a hotel desk for an early morning call, there 1s now a pew call system which ep ables guests to call themselves at any desired hour. A system of electric clocks is the newest hotel Installation, The guest simply sets an indicator at night, somewhat similar to an alarm clock and a low musical chime rings at the desired time. The clocks have lu- minous dials and hands so that the time can be read tn the dark. The Curse of Poverty. “Well, my dear, what did you see in town you wanted to buy?" “Oh, thousands of beautiful things.” “You didn’t buy them I hope?” “No, I came home with a package season.

For the lust two seasons Lowell Pat- ton, the brilliant pianist, has been lit- tle less than a sensation on Ellison- White Chautauqua tours. He is one of the younger generation of artists who Is rapidly earning just recognition for his exceptional artistry. He is a student of the great Rachmaninoff and was known in New York as the protege of the famous Russian. In addition to rare musical talent he pos- sesses a remarkable personality. He likes his audiences and they all like him—immensely. There is probably | no more popular pianist in the West today. INTERESTING DATA. The Idaho Crop Reporting Ser- vice, which is a co-ordination of the activities of the U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates, the Idaho De- partment of Immigration, Labor and Statistics and the Universi- |ty of Idaho Extension Division, in making a survey of the agri- culture and live stock of the state, has issued an Agricultur- al Review giving the acerage, the yield per acre and the total of Idaho for 1920. record of the acerage, yield per acre, total production and value and barley for 39 years; corn and potatoes for 30 years; and New Prices $1495 $1525 $2135 $2435 $2325 $1735 $2635 production of the principal crops | In addition, the review gives a! of :-oats for 58 years; hay, wheat | Hardware _—— SS) SO |) rye for 29 years. The live stock of the state is covered by counties for 1920 and by classes for the past 10 years, giving the number and value of each class. The Review contains much valuable information that has never before been gathered, in- cluding normal precipitation and temperature records for all cities in the state which co-operate with the U. S. Weather Bureau. The assessors of the state, in making their survey of acerage, have contributed largely to the value of this Review by making it possible to give county statis- tics for all the principal crops. Prior to the time the assessors began this work, it was not pos- sible to secure such information by counties. Within a few years, if these records are continued, they will become very valuable. The information contained in the Agricultural Review was compiled under the direction of Mr. Julius H. Jacobson, Agricul- tural Statistician of the U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates. Th expense of issuing the re- port is borne by the Department of Immigration, Labor and Stat- istics, which also assisted in gathering the information and in its compilation. As near as can be, in the limit-| ed space permitted, the cover portrays the agricultural and live stock industries of the State. It may be of interest to you to know that the dairy cows repre- sented on the frost cover are making the alfalfa fed to them worth up to $19 a ton at a time when hay isa drug on the market. WANTED!

Eugene, Or.—After committing the fermers to government ownership of railroads, co-operative marketing, a federal department of education, the abolition of the state highway commis- sion, a state income tax and various other solutions concerning farmers’ problems, the Oregon State Grange concluded its fourday session in Eu- gene. The government ownership of rail- roads, the records show a two-to-one vote of the membership, although _ about a tenth of the membership voted on the referendum during the past year. The Grange Is absolutely committed to co-operative marketing. The legislative committee was in- structed to draft a bill aimed at the abolition of two-thirds of the state commissions, with the power to in- vestigate these bodies and select for discard those which do not seem to justify further expenditure of the state’s money. Provisions was made that funds be drawn from the coffers of the grange to conduct an educa- tional and pre-election campaign on both measures. Abuse of the public necessity law by the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph company, was charged by the state grange and repeal of the measure was urged. NEW DISARMAMENT RESOLUTION DRAFTED Washington. — A joint resolution “concurring in the declared purpose of the president to call an international conference to limit armaments” was agreed upon by republican members of the house foreign affairs committee, as a substitute to the Borah disarma- ment amendment to the naval appro- priation bill. The text was drafted by Chairman Porter, after a conference with President Harding and was be- lieved to have met with his approval. The house resolution, unlike the nu- merous disarmament proposals placed before congress, does not “authorise,” “empower” or “direct” to take any specific steps toward disarmamént. Instead, it is merely a notice to the world that congress believes in dis- armament and approves the position taken by the president. It provides an appropriation of $100,000 for the pre- liminary expenses of a disarmament conference, TULSA DEAD PUT AT 35 Official List of Casualties Gives 26 Negroes and 9 Whites.

Valley Forge, Pa.—A sermon of faith in established American institutions and of hope of a day of peace and good will throughout the world was preach- ed by President Harding Sunday from a Woodland pulpit overlooking Gen- @ral Washington's historio camping ground in Valley Forge. Civilisation, he declared, has been beset by “van- dais.” This dation, he added, could discharge its responsibilities to hu- manity only if it preserved securely its independence of action and the traditions inherited from its fathers, Northwest Gets School. Philadelphia —Plans to establish an educational institution in the north- western part of the United States, probably at Yakima, Wash., were ap- proved at the closing session of the general assembly of the United Pres- byterian church with the adoption of the education committee’s report fav- oring the project. The institution will cost approximately $2,000,000. Colorado Governor Aske For Help. Pueblo, Colo—Governor Oliver H. Shoup asked the United States gov- ernment to place $20,000,000 at the comioand of the state for use in flood relief. Flood Sweeps Western Kansas.
