MAN’S CI4>Tl<EH ON WOMAN IS NOT A MISDEMEANOR I ---------- - Boston, Dee. 28.—(I.

Mb» Kimball had also played the part of a bridegroom two months without arousing the suspicions of the bride, according to the latter. “HPKEDKR“ IN AGAIN AFTER TWENTY YEARS < Detroit. Dec 28.—(I. N.

Demand by France for a minimum submarine allowance of 90,000 tons was declared to have closed the door to any agreement, the American proposal having been fin ally rejected by the French. The American delegation made a new proposal to limit the site of subma rines and other auxiliary craft to a maximum of 10,000 tons. The British and Japanese, in view of the French action, stated they both felt compelled to reserve ac tion on the tonnage ratio for aux iliary craft allotted them under the American plan.

Doyle. rice crop has been harvested under exceptionally favorable climatic con ditions and the quality is reported good. .A favorable factor In its mar- kept prospect is the appreciable rice shortage reported in Japan where the embargo against rice imports has been lifted and where prices are re ported to be rising. Latest esti mates of the apple crop of the dis trict place it at 45,000,000 bushels, approximately 50 per cent in excess of last year's short crop. With t^e shortage of fresh fruits in the east and middle west, as a result of frosts last spring, the demand for apples so far this season has on the whole been good and growers are expected to experience a profitable year. The livestock of this district is in excel lent condition. Hay is abundant and cheap and winter range prospects are good. There is reported from all districts a stronger demand for feeder cattle and except In the in ter-mountain district, there are indi cations that herds and flocks are be ing restocked. Flour mills of tho district are operating at approximate ly 58.9 per cent of capacity as com pared with 34.7 per cent of capacity a year ago. Many mills in Califor nia are doing even better than this on account of a brisk export demand from Mexico and Latin America. "Unemployment throughout the district, principally among unskilled workers, increased during Novem ber. The greatest declines In em- ployment were reported from the seasonal Industries, agriculture and road-building, and from the shlp- yards, which are now operating at approximately 5 per cent of their war capacity. There continues to be a strong demand for skilled labor in the building industry.**
