While hé was talking to the members of the Karmers' Union about the hard times that were in- evitably in store for the majority of them, Premier Lloyd George handed in his resignation to the king and Sir Arthur automatically became an ex- minister. His speech, as he admitted himself, contained only ‘“cold comfort for those who had to get their livings from the land.” Some farmers, he prophesied, would go under, and there would be acute distress in the country districts before prosperity could return. “There may be a future for the dairy farmers,” he said, “and live- stock farming generally may be able to pay fairly well in time, but for the arable farmers—the corn growers—I can see only a gloomy outlook.” Re- terring to the views of one of his predecessors in office, he said: “Igrd Aliwyn probably was right in think- ing :{]fl..muéh arable land will be- come grass; that the rural districts will be depopulated, and that there will be great misery among farmers and 8 f’)rersf\ A According to hig own survey of the state of agriculture, its future seemed to lfe in large farms in favorable dis- tricts, culftyated as cheaply as pos- sible, witR“patches of intensely culti- vated land. “What canthe government do?" he asked, ‘‘thére are only two remedies— SAY “BAYER” when you buy Aspirin « Unless you see the name “Bayer” on package or on tablets you are not getting the genuine Bayer product prescribed by physicians over twenty- $wo years and proved safe by millions| for colds, headache, toothache, ear-| ache, neuralgia, lumbago, rhemua-| tism, neuritis, and for pain in general.

But Sir Arthur would not allow the poor farmers to comfort themselves with ahy false hopes. “It would be dishonest to suggest," he declared “that at the present time either remedy is practical. The agri- cultural interests have a comparative- ly small representation in the House of Commons, which is permanently urban in character. The government may adopt some palliatives, but it will insist that agriculture: must work out its dwn salvation on an economic basis.” USED HIS GLASS EYE VERY GOOD Foreman in Berlin Took ¥t Out and Told Natives It Watched Them While He Was Absent. Berlin, Nov. 24.—Kast African su- perstition and ingenuity are amus- ingly illustrated in an. incident re- alted by the German colonel, Dr. E. Nigmann, in his memoirs of the days when he was in charge of colonial administration in that part of the world. One of his most reliable aides, he says, was a native lieutenant-colonel who had lost an eye during one of the local expeditions, and wore .& glass one in its place. This officer was assigned to superintend the erec- tion of a post office in a rural dis- trict. The inhabitants had long been delinquent in tax payments, and con- sequently each male adujt was re- quired to meet his clvig obligations by putting in a week’s labor on the new government bullding. One day while the native laborers were industriously at work under his vigilant -watch, the leutenant-colonel was temporarily called away. On leaving the building, he took out the glass éye, placed (it on one of the walls, and announced to the workers: “Look here, my men. I must go now, but I am keep working while I am away.” It was with considerable self-satisfac- tion that he returned to find his gang hard at work. Next day the Iteutenant-colonel had another summons to leave his post. Again he placed the glass eye in charge and left. Returning, he no- ticed frog afar that building opera- tions' were at a standstill and all of his dusky help snoring peacefully. Upon looking for his "foreman” eye, he found it carefully covered with an old hat. PARIS WOMEN SAVE Feminine Sex There Refuse to Pay High Prices For Beautiful Gar- ments, Preferring Simple Ones. Paris, Nov. 24.—Dlaheqtnned and saddened by the evident® determina- tion of the iwomen of Paris to adorn themselves simply, in the matter of dress, those who are interested in the selling of laces, feathers and embroid- ery have come together to ask the women for mercy. M. Dior, minister of commerce, iwells upon the stagnant condition of e industries which provide feminine inery, and tells the fashion artists ‘hey must do something about {t. The inswer given him is that the dress- makers are poweriess. A “This simplicity which troubles M. Dior,” one leading gown designer said recently, “saddens us as much’as it does him. Ouyr models are simple be- cause they are inexpensive, and please our clients. The eight hour day, taxes, high wages and customs decrees, in- volving onerous reciprocity like the'| American tariff bill which came into force lately, all make a cheap and pigin dress necessary.” ‘"'He newest models shown are with- out lace and brocades and of plain and cheap ‘materials. SWISS RAILROAD TOSING Geneva, Nov. 24.—The tourist trade in Switzerland has falleh to ‘such a low: ebb that Swiss railfonds are con- siderfhg ways and means to,revive it. To, this end they have offered reduc- tions in railroad fares amounging to 30 per cent. to parties of nglish tourists, effective January 1, A similar reduction probably will be of- . fered later to Americans leaving my eye to |} keep tab on you and to see that you || GAN USE VARIOUS PARTS OF SHARKS Fishing for.“Mao-Killers” ay Be Made Important Industry Washington,gNov. 24.—8hark fish- Ing can be made ai important indus- try in this country in the opinion of officials of the Bureau of Fisheries. There are many uses to which various parts of the dreaded ‘‘man-killers” can be put and at a profit to the fishermen. Former BSecretary of Commerce Redfield gave prominence during the war days to shoes made of shark skin and it is stated that leather from this skin is as good as that from beef hide. Its use is confined not alone to shoe manufacture, but to the making of other “leather” goods. Bhark steaks also get some adver- tisement during the war, but the Fisheries, Bureau holds that the shark fish, dried or smoked, also can bring a good price per ton as fer- tilizer, Bhark liver oll, crude, also is used commercially, while the body also is valuable. The shark 80 carries a delicacy for the Orienta¥. It is the fin, or rather certain of the fins. These are denuded of ‘the . flesh and dried. Later the cartllaginous substance of the “rays" of the fins are separated, soaked in water and cut up for use In soup. In Hong Kong it is stated that the best restaurants charge as much as $2.50 gold for a cup of soup made from the first class fins. So the Bureau of Fisheries says fishermen and those who kill sharks are losing money when they fail to mako shark fins part of their busi- ness. Along the California coast it has been the custom of fishermen and sportsmen catehing# sharks to kil them and turn the carcasses adrift as useless. s The market price of the dried fins of good size is as high as 65 to 75 cents per pound, but range much trimmed or cured. In the Philippines it is the custom to salt down the fins or powder with lime before drying. BANDITS RESPECT A. R. A. Russian Robbers Do Not Molest Am- erican Relicf Workers As They Pass ‘Warehouses. Samara, Nov. 24—One of the larg- est bandit gangs in Russia — 1,700 strong—which neither the Red army nor famine has as yet stamped out, continues to operate in the Pugachof district, but in no.way have the rob- bers ever attempted to interfere with American relief workers. It has been estimated that about 1,200 of the men have horses, The bafid is made up chiefly of army deserters who operate in units of 15 to 20 men. According to relief workers, thé bandits always make it a point to avoid anything belonging to the Am- erican relief administration. .In Bala- kova the government warehouse was robbed while the A. R. A. storage house, next door, bulging with cocoa, sugar, canned milk and other good things to eat, was not even touched. As an {llustration of further gonsid- eration by the bandits of the famine sufferers, it is related that some of the gang last summer rode up to one of the A. R. A village kitchens merelyt asted the food being prepar- ed for the, children; pronounced it very good, chucked a few youfigsters under the chins, wishing them ‘good appetites, and then went their way—to the home of the village treasurer, which they looted..
