(Omaha Bee) From civilized life in an American city to "queen" of a "musical come dy island," with cannibals as next door neighbors! it would be a startling change -even in fiction. But Mrs. Louis Landrock. of Oma ha, is making the jump. She is on the Pacific ocean, en route to Isgau, one of the Fiji islands, and the town of Pontianak, in Dutch Borneo. She expects to settle down, almost in the center of the Fijis. as part owner of a $10,000,000 estate. One of the most eccentric wills in history is responsible for it all. Wav back in 1664, Prince Wol- fert Webbert, of Holland, became j disgruntled with his daughter, Prin- cess Anneka, for marrying out of roy- j alty. He willed her share of his ex- j tensive island holdings to the seventh j generation of her descendants. j Held In Trust. ! The Dutch government has held i the property in trust since that time waiting for Anneka s great-great-great-great-great-grand children to put in appearance. The princess, in the meantime, moved to New Armsterdam, where she told the story of the island king dom to her children. They repeated it to their children and their chil dren's children. From the princess there were two distinct lines of descent, for after her first husband was lost at sea, she married Evaradus mation furnished by this woman it j er to depend upon outside agencies.

"When you produce a poor article, you lose money." The organization of the Connec ticut Valley Leaf Tobacco Improve ment Association, which was an nounced to the trade in last week's issue of this paper, is the answer of the New England leaf tobacco grow ers and packers to this thought- Not that the suggestion of the New York er was the reason for the organiza tion, because the New Englanders had long had such an organization under contemplation, and . had util ized for many years the activities of the Federal and State experiment stations.

He was placed in Roanoke jail for safe keep ing until Jan. 27, when he was taken back to Halifax for trial that, was convicted on Jan, 27 for housebreak ing and larceny and given 16 years in the penitentiary, upon the evidence of the woman and a chain of corrobora tive evidence, which led to Louis ville, to Philadephia, Washington, Atanta, Raleigh, Danville and Houston. FIVE HUNDRED DRAFT DODGERS HAVE BEEX LOCATED The apprehension of nearly 500 draft deserters since the publication of the slacker lists began has pusti fied the position of tho American Le gion and veterans or the world war in general in their leisure to have the lists published. More than half of the 60,000 ; names of draft deserters have been published, according to information obtained by officials of the legion. The unpublished names are being re leased at a rate that should com plete their publication in the next month. Of the approximately 500 desert ers who have been apprehended. about 200 have been tried and 80 Bosardus, j convicted.

Her Life Secret. ' All through her lifeMrs. Land rock guarded the story well. "This is America," she said, just before sailing. "People would only have tapped their heads, had I told them of it" The lineage chart, which Mrs Landrock has kept complete, has traveled back and forth between Holland and Omaha dozens of times, and was drafted in its final stage at a cost of 14,000. It dates from 1664 to 1915. For five years Mrs. Landrock has had a representative in Dutch Bor neo and the Fiiis. He has been IfPnt hllRV cllO cave Inrklrintr oflri.

But Mrs. Landrock with a dic tionary of the Malay language un der her arm is soon to set foot in the Fijis as the seventh descendant of Princess Anneka. they got together and committed themselves to providing for a move ment which will unquestionably mean better tobacco, better grown, and better handled and packed. And in fact, the successful opera tion of this plan will mean a great deal more to the tobacco growers and packers than another dollar wrapper duty would. At the best the increased duty would have been a palliative of temporary importance only. It would have kept out a type of tobacco that is competing with the New England product. The plan the New Englanders have adopted means the production of tobacco that upon merit holds its own place in the econ omy of the American cigar and to bacco' industry. They are hoping to produce tobacco that is so desir able as to be indispensable and which merely on its merit, will have noth ing to fear from any tobacco, grown anywhere and under any conditions. The benefits of the Improvement Association's work will not be con fined to the New England wrapper, but will extend equally to all the types .nd grades produced. While the Shadegrown has had the most spectacular development and con rtitutes the most highly evolved to bacco product of the American con tinent, the aggregate value of the Sungrown wrappers, binders and fillers far outweighs the value of the Shadegrown crop. The Improvement Association has started, possibly, an era of far reach ing importance to the tobacco indus try of the country. The marvelous efficiency already achieved by the New England tobacco growers is a matter of trade knowledge- Carried out along the lines embraced in the program of the Improvement Asso ciation, the progress that may be made cannot be predicted at this time. It is not beyond the reach of possibility that the- New" England product will find a wcrl dmarket, rather than continue to confined to the domestic cigar industry. The German firm that paid 22 guilders for fancy wrappers recently, would in all probability, be willing to pay $7.48 for equally desirable wrappers of American production. The possibilities for good in the Isprovementv Association far out weigh the advantages that might ac crue to New England from an addi tion dollar of wrapper tariff.

You can regu late the heat produced by each burner, warm something gendy on one and roast over another in a New Perfection oven.
