I'or ten years a gmg of bandits of the nioKt daring and desperate char- acter liaJ terrorised the Mexican Slate of t'hlhiialiua, with extortion of ransoms, outrlRht robbery and vari- ous other crimes, including fref|uent miirdors. The leader was Tomas Ur- bino, formerly a landed proprietor, who for liomo reason bad conceived and cherished a special enmity again^it other land owners. It was his delight to raid n rich farm, loot It of all easily portable wealth, mur- der It.s occupants and commit to the flames all the buildings and every- Ujing that could b'e burned.

Ho said that Ur- bino, who not unnaturally had long feared a sudden death, had made him his oonrtdaht, and given him precise Information of all tho places In which his treaBurcs were hidden; with In- Btruction.i that In case of hisâ€" Ur- bino 's â€" death, he wan to seek them out and restore lliem to those from whom tliey had beon taken.

The authorities Uiere- upon askcti him to prepiro a list of tbem all, with map:i and directions for flnding tliem. This required several dayB, and Just before tho priest was ready (o turn It over to the authorl- ttoK a stranger called upon him and ropreKcnted himself to bo one of Ur- blno's lieutenants, who had further Information concerning other hidden treasures, which Urhino himself had not had opportunity to convey to him. Thief's Identity Discovered. To do this, ho said. It would be necessary for him to see the list of hldln.!; places which the priest al- ready lia<l. Unsuspecting evil, Bar- ranza produced tho list and directory which ho had prepared; whereupon tho visitor sprang upon blm, knocked making a good profit. Cost of production data complied at the Experimental Stations, at Har- row, Ontario, and Fivnham, Quebec, have shown that It costs from $150 to $250 to produce an aero of tobacco, the variation being due to varlettal seasonal, and other differences. As- suming $200 as a reasonable cost for producing an acre of Ontario Burley or Quebec cigar leaf. It may readily be seen that the man who sells 1500 pounds at 25 cents per pound clears $17.'). Whereas his neighbor who cells a 1000-pound crop at 15 cents loses 550 on every acre of tobacco he grows. CANADIAN TREE SEEDS EXPORTED Large Part Obtained by Forest Service Extracted from Western Species Not only do "great oaks from little acorns grow," but trees as largo as any oak that grows may originate In a seed which weighs only the one- thousandth part of the weight of an acorn. The Sitka spruce, a tree of Canada's western eea-coasi, attains a height of 160 to 180 feet and a dia- meter of eight to 12 feet; but the seed from which It springs le so small that It takes 300,000 of them, or even more, to weigh a pound. Seed of tho western cedar, so well known as the source of shingles, hao about the same weight. The seed of the Douglas flr, the largest tree in Canadian foreata, weighs about one forty-thousandth o( a pound. The white pine, once the standby of the eastern lumberman, and still the choicest wood In the eastern forest, commences as a little seed weighing about 26,000 to the pound, and many grow a -dinnieteT of 30 to 4-0 Inches. The white spruce, tho tree used in groat<?s-t Quantity by eastern lumber- Clash Foretold by Lenin Recalled Anglo-Soviet Break Draws Attention to Prediction Made Almost Fro m Deathbed London (U. P.) â€" Lenin's fear of a "clash between imperialistic States and the Soviet," which he expressed more than a year before his death In an article written for the official Soviet newspaper Pravada, has been jusUfled, In the opinion of many per- sona, by recent events. Although In 1923 few took cogni- zance of predictions of the coming "SovIet-Imperlallstlc clash" made by the apostle of Bolshevism almost from his deathbed. Great Britain's pends on many questions. The ovor- whelmlng majority o fthe human race win be forced to light by capitalism Itself. The outcome of that fight will be decided by the fact that Russia, India, China and the other Eastern nations represent the great majority o fthe world's population This ma- jority is already drawn into the light, therefore the final victory for social- ism is unquestionable. "Meantime we must face this ques- tion: Can we stand fast until the break with the Soviet and tho many western European states complete Tho cultivator who cares for his ' men and pulp manufacturers, starts tobacco properly during tho growing and curing season, and who delivers a clean, well graded, carefully packed crop of high quality leaf to the deal- er, has the double satisfaction of re- ceiving more money tor his season's labor, and of knowing that he has done his work well, and has enhanced his reputation ou next year's markot. -♦- Vacation Efficiency Vacations? We still get 'em, but It's a question of rushing like mad to got up all night getting thlnigs packed In the flivver, starting the trip two hours behind schedule, determined to make our first day's destination by late driving. The trip has been as elllclently planned as though. It were a business sales canipalern. We will be here life as a seed wlilch takes 120,000 to m^ke up a pound of weight. In order to give an Idea of what tbis i means, comparison may be made with somo more familiar yegetable and weed seeds. The seed of the Sitka spruce or western cedar would weigh about as much as two dandelion seeds, about the sraino as a single seed of the carrot, chickory, or black mustard, and less than a single seed of garden cress or onion. British Suggestlan For several years tho Forest Service of tho Department of tho Interior has canied on the work of collecting tree seeds of western species â€" a work be- gun largely at the suggestion of the British authorities who are undertak- ing re-forestatlon of lands In England and Scotland. Ueeldes a large seed- extraction plant at Vancouver, Bnitish the first night, two hundredand fifty Columbia, at which large quantities of seed collected from forests In all parts of British Columbia are extracted, three smaller ones are mointalned in tho Prairie Proviiices (at Rocky Moun- mlles farther on tho second night, three hundred more the next night, and so on, through a mad two weeks. We have even planned the places where wo will stop ..for eats. And so we tear through our two-week "vaca- tion" sitting at the steering wheel. diplomatic complications which fol lowed closely on the heels of this break have caused many to turn back the pages of history to a chapter which appeared Insignificant when written. "Peace between the Soviet govern- mental Institutions and the imperialis- tic States is the only sure means of successfully coping with Russia's fu- ture problems," Lenin wrote. "Under the present state of interna- tional relations In Europe one State Is placed under the heel of others â€" their victors.- These victors are able to grant a few concessions to the op- retard the revolutionary movement and create a semblance of social peace. "At the same time there are a num- ber of Oriental countries, notably In- dia and China, which as a result of the Imperialistic war find themselves completely beaten from their former foundations. Their development has finally come to be directed along the general lines of the European capital- istic system. General European fer- mentation has begun 1 nthose coun- tries and the whole world now clearly sees that they are being dragged In- thelr development toward socialism? "This development v,'lll 'not come by simultaneous ripening but as a re- sult of the exploitation of one con- quered country by another. Such ex- ploitation has influenced the entire Orient, where the revolutionary move- ment cannot be long halted."

Carpenter has sent an application to officials at Washington asking the govtrnmont to send a gas bombing squadron against the insects.

Until relief arrives farmers will continue to bombard the insects with noise, working in relays to keep up the din night and day. 1 to How's Your Spelling?
