'without so much us walking half u

ITho precedent for thin neglect and
the social fabric of Zunzlhur Is de
pendent on precedent Is undoubtedly
,the Indifference of the early explorers,
jwho fitted out ciiriivans In the old
jtown und, bent on discovering n vol
(chiio or n iiyiinza far atleld, never
wasted time In wandering about the
glorlotm Island Itself.
On the first day that one leaves the
roail behind and finds oneself at large
In the dense green of Zanzibar's tllnnlc
verdure one Is conscious of a newness
of interest as when one reads for the
tirst time some hook of very distinctive
Imaginative qunllty.
The woods and Holds, the "shamlms"
(plantations), are like the contents of
Itrolidlngnnghtn glass house; the col
ors of (lowers and trees themselves
(ire so elementary as to seem like a
'Child's concept of beauty In nature,
ml when, unexpectedly, without piep
Hrutioii of any kind, the sight of the
'dove trees, shining green, red
Htemnied, sviimietrli'iil, stretches be
fore one, with the ultramarine of the
Indian ocean as a background for their
uncipialeil loneliness, (lie beauty of the
whole writes itself on the memory of
Hie most commonplace of observers as
nil Indelible delight.
As Large at Long Island.
The Island, about the same sl7,e In
iipiare miles as Long island, is of a
different shape, being shorter and
much broader. It Is one of tirent l'-rit-uln's
protectorates.
To the south of the town the land
liciipe is not so redundant and riotous
In vegetable expression, but gouts
.hound and llnd all they need In the
way of food to make them marketable.
Hut to the north the mango trees,
jMiluis. cloves ami every form of orange
ud lemon crowd thick Hnd glorious
Mndcr the most primitive of husbiind
lren. Just as Africa Itself Is netted
vcr with aimless foothpaths. so is
Zanzibar veined with little trucks worn
leii Into the living green so long ago
thut no tradition follows the feet of
those w ho made them.
The Industrial life of Zanzibar lias
chuliirod three times since Ihtvlil I.lv

town, whose saul-
to the iniur.it Aral
luib u was then a b uord of the Last.
The bodies of dead slaves were fre
sueutly put out on the beuch by Avals
too Inhuman to give them burial, and
animals who had died were disposed
of in the same fashion. liutli water
was informally evicted through harem
windows, and all the wanton wuste of
the cooking department In large Arab
houses was bunked up by the kitchen
doors. There Is a tendency to thut
sort of thing still, but Zanzibar's West
ern health officers have removed Sir
Ulchurd Hurton's reproachfully apt
epithet of filth In connection with Zan
zibar town.
Cloves Are Its Salvation.
Hut the third and last phase of In
dustry In Zanzibar has been Its salvu
tlon, and wdll keep It alive as u place
of Importance long after Mombasa
has caught up with and passed It as
the center for general trade and the
entrepot for the African hinterland.
Tills last phase Is clove cultivation,
and the history of the clove In Zunzl
bur Is a record of such pluck und fore
sight ns may well teach a lesson to
the proud Saxon who considers his
race a monopolist of both qualities.
In 18(10 un A rub named Telitn bin
Isse came up lvom Muurltlus with a
hundful of cloves In his pocket and
1!0( plants to put Into his shatnba. His
Idea of agriculture was very unique,
and he only Intended to persevere In
clove culture If he could depend on a
crop after every neglect nryl affront
had been offered his trees. Their
beauty (cloves ure a kind of myrtle
and exquisite In appearance) excited
the Interest of Said Hurgash, nbout to
become Zanzibar's sultan, and be wrote
at once to the Moluccas to obtain the
llnest plants which could be bought
for money.
Two Dutch ships brought them In
an unusually short time, and the sul
tan, the most remarkable man Zanzi
bar lias ever produced or associated I
with Its fortunes, sent out numbers of I
his henchmen to comnel laborers from I
every side to get the plants into the
soil Immediately. He had read up the
whole subject In a book of French au
thorship, which lie hud caused to he
written out In Arable, and saw that
tin1 enterprise had a great mercantile
future for Zanzibar, lie knew that the
island's supremacy as a trade center
would pass, and lie hoped to make It,
with l'embn, the extremely fertile but
rather uninteresting Island to Zanzi
bar's north, paramount in the world of
spices.
In 1S712 a cyclone blew over Zanzi
bar, which uprooted all the clove trees
and blew the coconuts tint to the
earth without breaking them. Many
clove trees were blown Into the sea;
many were broken off short. Within
a week after the storm Said Hurgash
was rounding up his laborers again
ami sending hither and yon for plants,
which lie presented to the poorer
Arabs, who had seized on the Idea of
n crop which could be sold to Euro
peans, and had put their ull Into the
purchase of plants and slaves for their
culture.
Krotn that second planting conies
the great bulk of the world's clove
supply today, and when one realties
that th least output of cloves per an
num lias amounted (from Zanzibar
alone) to SO.tXKt bales and the great
est output to 'JUO.iKM, and when one
furthermore realizes that the govern
ment claims as tax one bag out of
each ihe. one may catch a vista of
llui'gnsh's ilream, and concede that

of nn-ntal attributes imagination,

uinl in II. e hurry of its beauties and
t tie horrors of Its mvsterious cuius
1 i replies like the smallpox epidemic or
t'.e bubonic plague, forget to tell the
of its wonders. It will always
i ivu.ar.t in one's tn'md like a so:!, ,!
. pa-.e of the "Arabian Nights." with
wii.it promised to he a splendid eut-
lomc ruined by some fearful visitation
of o clone or of sickness. l!ut the In
I tiinsu' strength of the island continues
ill t.ie clove crop and bus attracted tin
enormous number of Indians, who are
fast driving out the Arab and keeping
up a desultory intercourse with India
tor caste reasons. ,
By virtue of an execution and or
der of Bile of attached property is
sued out of the Circuit Court of the
State of Oregon for Morrow County
by the Clerk thereof, dated the 22nd
day of September, 1923, in a certain

UMBER QO,
Higgins Wanted to Tell Smithers How
He Should Buy Hors for
His Wifs.
Higgins is troubled with an over
weening curiosity about other people's
affairs.
Occasionally, however, he comes a
cropper, much to the delight of those
whom he has been in the habit of vic
timizing. The other day he met Smithers In a
tramcar.
"Busy, eh?" he Inquired in an off
hand way.
"Yes," said Smithers. "Eeen buy
ing a horse for my wife."
"Have you?" said the other, his curi
osity at once thoroughly aroused.
"Well, let me give you some points."
"Oh," said the other, "I concluded
the bargain.'
"Not without trying him, surely?
Was he sound In wind and limb?"
"lie appeared to be," was the reply.
"Doesn't he jib?"
"N-no, I reckon not."
".Stands without hitching?".
"Y-yes, I think so."
"Good gait?"
But here Smithers got up to leave
the car. As be reached the door he
called over his shoulder to Higgins:
"I forgot to mention the kind of
horse my wife wanted. It was a
clothesiior.se."
TRAFFIC HALTS FOR PIGEON
New York Crossing Policeman Sees
That Thirsty Bird Gets Drink
on Pavement.
Traffic was heavy and the policeman
signaled, shouted, frowned and grinned
according to the changing character of
the four-way crowds. The white sig
nal flashed and waiting drivers pre
pared to throw in tlteir gears and
speed north or south. But the arm
of the law warned them back. They
craned around their windshields to find
out the trouble. The policeman with
arm still uplifted was gazing at a shal
low pool of rainwater in the hot pave
ment, says the New York Sun and
Globe.
"That bird shall have her chance,"
he growled at the nearest car. "She's
tried to get a sip of water four times
and what with all the pedestrians and
cars and other Interferences she's like
to die of thirst."
The pigeon sipped peacefully, rais
ing its sleek throat each time for the
drink to slip down more smoothly.
Then It waddled haughtily away.
The policeman's arm came into ac
tion and a satisfied grin spread over
his ruddy cheeks. "Come along now,
with your noisy cars!" he invited.
"What's detaiuin' ye?"
Vacuum Cleaner "Blows" Organ.
In a church where an ordinary reed
organ with pedal-operated bellows was
used, it was desired to install an elec
tric blower. As the reeds of such an
organ are sounded by suction, the air
being exhausted from the wind chest by
the bellows, it was found that a com
mon vacuum sweeper could easily be
made to do the work. A small hole
was cut in the wind chest, and the
end of the vacuum cleaner hose in
serted, the connection being made air
tight. The cleaner itself was set in
the basement where it could not be
heard while running. The result was
entirely satisfactory, the cleaner do
ing the work Just as well as an expen
sive electric blower. I'bil H. Brehmer,
Rutland, Vt.
His Luck Was in.
Signup Marconi tells in London Tit
Bits an amusing story concerning an
applicant for a job at an electric pow
er station whose knowledge was small,
to put it mildly.
The busy foreman of works, wish
ing to learn what were his qualifica
tions for the post, led off by asking
him what was ordinarily used as a
conductor of electricity.
Applicant (all at sea) Why er
Foreman Wire. Correct ! Now
tell me what is the unit of electric
power.
Applicant The what, sir?
Foreman Exactly, the watt. Veny
good ; that will do. You may sign on
for the job.
Flicker Is Your Friend.
The red-shafted flicker or wood
pecker is a persistent enemy of the
ant family, says Nature Magazine.
Many kinds of ants are extremely
harmful. As wood borers they destroy
timber and Infest houses. Worst of
all, they protect and care for many
aphides or plant lice, which are tle
greatest enemies of trees, plants and
shrubs. As many as 5.000 ants and
ant eggs havs been found in the stom
ach of a single flicker.
Seek and Ys Shall Find.
Ash barrels and garbage cans may
contain treasures. Many years ago
- New York man named Crawford who
was visiting te national tapltal hap
pened to notice an extra large peach
stone in a garbage can that was stand
ing on the curb, aDd he wrapped it in
a piece of paper and carried it back
home with him. He planted it and
the seedling that came from that
stone was the source of all the excel
lent Crawford peaches in the world.
