Farm Population Of Over 32 Million As Of Jan. 1,1937 NEWARK, June 30.—A farm pop ulation of 31,729,000 persons as of January 1, 1937, was estimated to day by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics, compared with 31,809,000 on January 1, 1936. The net loss of 80,000 persons represents the first decrease in farm population since 1929. The Bureau reported that 1,166, 000 persons left farms last year, and that 719,000 moved to farms from villages, towns and cities. But the net migration off farms was almost entirely offset by an excess of farm births over deaths; births were es timated at 716,000; deaths at 349,000. The number of births on farms last year was the smallest, and the num ber of deaths the largest in 16 years of Bureau records. The number of persons moving to farms was the second smallest during this period, and the number of persons moving off farms also was the second smallest. Mrs. W. E.

News of her condition will be awaited anx iously by a host of friends in Char lotte, and each and everyone is hop ing it will be good news, and that she is bn her way to recovery. ‘Fugitive in Sky’ Murder Mystery Charlotte Theatre The capture of a desperate crimi nal on an airplane flying by night in a terrific dust storm, is one of many exciting happenings in Warner Bros. “Fugitive in the Sky," which comes 40 the Charlotte Theatre on Friday.

Oil From Wreckage Destroys Seagulls San Francisco.—Dying seagulls lined the beaches and (ell from the sky saturated with oily water from San Francisco bay. The oil, leaking from the wreckage of the tanker Frank H Buck, coated the ocean for miles. Many of the gulls starved rath er than dive through the oil for their fish. Many of those which did dive were unable to rise when the oil impregnated their wings, and they bobbed helpless ly in the water. Some reached shore, and fell easy prey to dogs. Office building employees tossed out bread crumbs when the birds sought refuge on win dow sills and eaves. The tanker collided with the liner S. S. President Coolidge in a heavy fog. CHINESE PRINTERS PIRATE U. S. BOOKS Editions Sold at Fraction of Original Price. Shanghai, China.—Thousands of foreign books, principally in the English language, are being photo statically copied in Shanghai and sold at a fraction of the price of the original editions. Although China has an effective copyright law, its provisions require translation of each volume into Chi nese, not always an easy thing to arrange, and few foreign publishers have taken the trouble to protect their titles in the China market. In addition, the International Set tlement, which is not subject to Chi nese laws, provides a haven for lit erary “pirates,” and it is in the set tlement that most of the copied books are sold. The condition first came to notice with the publication of Col. Henry L. Stimson’s “The Far Eastern Cri sis." A Chinese printing firm im mediately announced, in large ad vertisements, that it would reprint the volume for sale in China at a low price. The city government of Greater Shanghai (Chinese) as a friendly gesture to American inter ests, promptly banned the publi cation. The ban, however, did not prevent the later appearance of photostatic copies at Settlement book stores. The volumes, reproducing the American edition almost in complete detail, sold for $2.90 Chinese cur rency (about 87 cents American), as against $13.10 for the original. The book is enjoying a good sale, having been widely advertised as a “history of the Chinese national cri sis.” But “The Far Eastern Crisis” is only one of hundreds of books being photostqjically reprinted and sold in Shanghai. Most of the volumes is sued in this manner are textbooks, particularly the high-priced ones on technical subjects. Medical and en gineering students, unable to afford the American-imported books, but requiring them for their studies, are pleased patrons of the book “pi rates.” Soldier in No Battles in Thirty-Year Service Minneapolis, Minn.—Thirty years in the army and never fought a battle; never even had a narrow escape! That’s the record of Master Sergeant James C. Hankla, head quarters company, Fort Snelling. “You know,” the veteran soldier said, “every one asks me what I’m going to do now that I’m through here. They think I need a long rest. Why, I haven’t worked for 30 years. All of my experiences have been pleasant. I soldiered on the Mexican bolder during the World war and took part in the Vera Cruz fracas in 1914, but I never fought in a bat tle and never had a close call. Yes, sir, give me the army any old day! “I’m going to San Diego, Cal., with my family until next July, then I’m coming back and look for a job.” Hankla enlisted in the army in 1906. He served in the 19th in fantry from 1908 to 1919, and then the 3d infantry from 1919 to 1936. He was guest of honor at a parade in the Fort Snelling riding hall re cently. Maine Idea Augusta, Me.—Dogs as well as babies would have birth certificates if the Maine legislature adopted a bill filed by Rep. Joy Dow, Jr. His measure would have dog owners file notice of birth with municipal as sessors. Cat Prefers Oranges Bremen, Ga.—The Rev. and Mrs. W. L. Brackman would find it cheaper to live in Florida or Cali fornia. Their cat’s favorite food is oranges, which it eats as greedily as most cats do fish. Cat Is Willed $250 Des Moines, Iowa. — Plenty of catnip and fish are in store for Brother, a seven-year-old Persian cat, under terms of the will of his late mistress. Mrs. Eleanor Mul vaney named the cat as benefi ciary of a $250 trust. Close Enough Cleveland. — Case School of Ap plied Science believes it owns the world’s most accurate clock. It has a variation of only 17 ten-thou sandths of a second a day. M. B. Rose Opens Realty Business Under Old Name M. B.
