Lloyd George
Leaves Journalism
Mr. Lloyd George has decided to
give up the 820,000 a year that he
is making from journalism in order
to devote his full energies to the
revival of the Liberal party.
For six years he has been the
highest paid article writer in the
world. He has contributed one ar-
ticle each fortnght during this period
co an American newspaper syndicate.
For each article he receives 2800
He has in six years been paid £125,-
000 for his journalistic work from
this one source alone.
The syndicate has spread his ar-
ticle all over the world. They
have been printed in French, Ger-
man, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Nor-
wegan, Arbic, Japanese, Chinese;
in fact, in almost every known
tongu e.
And now Mr. Lloyd George has
decided that he must cease to be a
journalist. His time is too valuable.
It is understood that Mr. Lloyd
George's decision will take effect at
the end of the year.
How Mr. Lloyd George has spent
the money is as great a romance as
the manner in which he has earned
it.
Most of it ihas been devotel to
the development of a farm attach-
ed 'co his home at Churt, in Surrey.
He has made this the finest mod-
el farm of its kind in England, if
not In the world.
Every conceivable device for
labor-saving and securing the ut-
most efficiency in agriculture has
been bough'c for experiment and
Use. Every scientic method of
testing the soil with a view to ob-
taining the best results from it has
been adopted.
All the experience and knowl-
edge obtained have been placed freely
at the disposal of farmers from all
over the world, particularly l3ricish
farmers.
Mr, Lloyd George constantly ee-
ceives visitors and agricuraural
deputations there.
Wearing a big touch hat and
using a shepherd's crook, he con-
ducts them Over the farm and ex-
plains its wonders. Here, in fact,
Mn, Lloyd George's land policy was
born and fostered.
The land is Mn. Lloyd George's
passion and he devotes every mo-
ment of his spase 'cane to it.
The house attached to the farm,
although small and simple in char-
acter, Is one of the most charming
fitted with violet ray windows to
permit of the maximum of sunlight.
Last year, 98,000,000,000 cigaret-
tes were smoked in the states. The
announcement has just been made,
and there has not yet been time for
the customary continents from certain
quarters, ffn fact, these indignant
comments are rather going out of
style in this modern age. The huge
figure, in fact, probobly does not ref-
lect so greatly on the morals of our
neighbors to the south. It may ref-
lect the fact 'chat the 'United States
doesnot impose an unreasonable tax
on her tobaccos. In fact, there is a
strong probability that a good many
of those cigarettes were not smoked
within her boundaries at all,

'PLANE AS BUTCHER BOY.
Alaska rinds New Way to Deliver
Meat.
.Alaska has found a new use for
airplanes and, at the same time, a
valuable aid in its growing reind..er
industry.
Regular transportation of reindeer
meat by airplane front. Shungmtk, a
small native village in northern Alas-
ka, has been started by the Arctic
Prospecting & Development Company
of Fairbas.
A company 'plane, she Arctic Pros-
pector, was the first ever seen here
and was the first to transport rein-
deer meat in Alaska, By a coinci-
dence, Pilot C. P. Crawford also
brought the first meat sold 'by the
Shungnak Co-operative Company, re-
cently organized with the assistance
of the Alaska division of the 'United
States Bureau of Educa,tien.
The natives were thrown into great
excitement by their first sight of an
airplane when the chief of the Koyu-
kuk Indians, ancient enemies of the
Shungnak Eskimos, climbed from the
'plane for a friendly visit. For years
the Eskimos had feared the Koyukuk
tribe,
Much of the meat taken by 'plane
from Shungnak will be sent to the
Koyukuk district, 150 miles south,
where the prospecting company oper-
ates mining camps.

About 200 members of the Institu-

mission of Messrs, Swan, Hunter and
Wigham Richardson, Ltd., shipbuild-
ers, and the Admiralty, visited the

end, recently, says the London Mail.

Perfect .1-lackbone Rare.
Backbones that are considered nor-
mal and perfect by their possessors
and the examining physician may
show interesting abnormalities when
subjected to the searching eye or the
X-rays. In over half of nearly a
thousand spines of railroad men in-
vestigated by Drs, B, C. Cushway and
R. J. Maier of Chicago and reported
to the American Medical Association,
there were anomalies and abnormali-
ties. Vertebrae are particularly var-
iable, every little vertebra tending to
have a shape all its own.
The willingness of industrial em-
ployes to blame any spine trouble to
injuries, sometimes imagined, incur-
red in their worlc, has caused rail-
way and other surgeons to study
backbones carefully.
