Body of Former General Brought Home Mexico City, June 15.?The body of General Felipe Angeles who was shot Lwo years ago in Chihuahua following his captured by Carranza forces, probably will be brought to Pachuca; his former home, for final interment. A movement to that effect has been startel and coincident is a subscription campaign to obtain funds for a suitable monument to the famous artillery export in Mexico City. General Angeles was one of Mexico's most illustrious military men and uuring the world wax.achieved conaiderabe famo In tho French army as a master of artillery. ^ A silk floss cotton or silk cotton, known as Kapok, is obtained from tho fruit of a tree found In the.

The United States, says the Trade Record of The National City Bank of New York, has enormously increased its exportation of refined sugar. This tig increase occurred during the war and was in fact one of the consequences of the war which materially reduced the quantity of beet sugar produced in Europe and consequently intensified the demand for Cuban, Porto Rican and Hawaii cane sugars, most of which are refined in the United States. As a result we have become not only the world's largest exporter of refined sugars, bui also the largest refiner of cane sugars, for practically all of the cane sugar of the three islands above mentioned passes from the hands of the producers in the raw state to the refineries of the United States, while the cane sugar of the other chief cam producer, Java, although not "refined" in a strict sense of the term, is turned out in a condition in which it passes directly to the consumer, making it quite apparent that the sugar refineries of the United States handle larger quantities of sugar than those of any other country of the world. The total quantity of refined sugar exported from the United States in the year immediately preceding the war, the fiscal year 1914, was 50,000,000 pounds, jumping to 549,000,000 in 1915, 1,G30,000,000 in 1916, 1,250,000,000 in 1917, a little over 1,000,nnn onn a * * * * ~ * uuu,uuu ill LVIVf 1,H4,UUU,UUU in 1920, 500,000,000 in 1921, and in the fiscal year 1922 seems likely to approximate 1,750,000,000 pounds, or more than in any earlier year. The value of the 1921-22 exports of refined sugar will of course be less than that of some earlier years, owing to the extremely low price of sugar at the present time, but in quantity the distribution to the world from our refineries will probably be the "biggest ever." And this distribution of sugar refined in the United States is worldwide, for the distant countries and islands have come to realize that the United States is the one spot in the world in which they can confidently expect to obtain refined sugar. Even in 1920 when our exports of refined sugar were but little over one-half those of the current fiscal year the number of countries, colonies and islands to which we sent refined sugar was 88, ranging downward from England, France, and other of the European countries to Canada, Mexico, South America, China, Japan, Australia Africa and the cane sugar producing islands of the world, Cuba. Porto Rico, Hawaii, Java, and the British and French colonies. In the nine months of the current fiscal year for which details are available, we rave sent to Great Britain 360,000,000 pounds, and the total for the full year will approximate 500,000,000; to France 200,000,000 pounds with a prospect of 300,000,000 for the full year, and even to Cuba, the world's greatest producer of raw sugar, approximately 10,000,000 pounds, composed doubtless of raw sugar grown in that island, sent thence to our refineries and returned in the refined state for consumption in the area within which it was produced. Practically all of the refined sugar which we are exporting and which will toiai aoout 1,71>U,UUU,UUU pounds in the fiscal year about to end is of Cuban production. While we refine practically all of the cane sugar produced in Hawaii and Porto Rico, none of their sugar or that produced within Continental United States is re-exported after refinement and as a consequence practically all of this large quantity of refined sugar which we are now distributing to the world is the prod?? ?. ?- >'? " uiv ui uui m-AL-uoor nviKiiuur, i>uua. The refining of raw sugar in factories established for that distinct service is much greater in the United States than in any other single country. Practically all of the beet sugar produced in the United States is turned out in the finished form by the producers, and In Europe where beets formerly supplied about one-half of the world's sugar crop (but now very much reduced), about one-half of the beet sugar passes from the hands of the producers to refineries; while in Java, the one great cane sugar producer aside from Cuba, Porto Rico and Hawaii, a large proportion of the sugar now produced while not strictly "refined" is turned out as "white sugar" in a form in which it passes direct t^ the consumer. The value of refined sugar exported from the United States in the eight years preceding the war. Floods Wash Out Rio Grande Bridge San Antonio, June 18.?Both the Southern Pacific railroad bridge and the international bridge spanning the Rio Grande at Eagle Pass were washed out late tonight, according to a telephone message to the San Antonio Express. The river was reported at a 52 foot stage, a mile wide and still rising. Fears were felt for the population of Piedras Niegras on the Mexican side, which is believed to be inundated. Laredo, Texas, June 18.?According to reports received here, there has been a loss of life in the floods in Mexico, but because of impaired communication it has been impossible to ascertain the number of persons. A number of persons were said to have lost their lives in a cloudburst in Nuevo Leon. The Rio Grande continued to rise al<wrly. f .n I JonetvilU News June 19, 1922.

Pullman Car Mileage Chicago, 111., June 17.? (By the Associated Press).- The Pullman car mileage in 1921 a\eraged four and a half round trips daily to the moon, which is 238,480 miles from the earth, according to a statistician of the Pullman company. The mileage averaged eight and a half trips to distant, according to the statement, the sun, which is 92,900,000 mile? The mileage reported for the year was 709,572,465 miles, which was declared equivalent to encircling the earth at the equator eighty-eight times each day, or once every sixteen minutes and twenty-two seconds. Each car was said to ^ave averaged a yearly run of 118,367 miles, or approximately five trips around the globe. "Pullman passengers, the company reported, "rode 11^94,228,406 miles in 1921, or a car ride of 107 miles for every man, woman and child in the United States. If a new-born baby started this trip and traveled at the rate of 30 miles an hour without stopping he would be 43,977 years old when the porter brushed him off. The average dally mileage was 2,190,609 miles, or 91,275 miles an b^ur and 1,529 miles per-minute. "Pullman cars carried 31,204,992 passengers, an average of 85,500 a day. It would take 106 hotels with 500 rooms each to furnish nightly the sleeping accommodations provided." "Cros? Crossings Cautiously."

It was my pleasure to be one of the several hundred stockholders, correspondent and tomato growers to attend the opening day of the Union Cannery & Products company June 14th. Never has a more appreciative crowd assembled at any time than that which filled this large and commodious building. Several short speecnes were made by Messrs. Duncan, Matheson, Kennedy and Smith and it seemed Mr. Rice was at his best and his co-workers in perfect harmony with him which was fully testified by tlie many outbursts of applause when lie had finished speakin}?. I consider it a special favor to take my hat off to the Union Canning & Products company. Nothing was left out to make the day a success. IIow well Mr. Rice succeeded was attested by the large overflowing audience preesnt and one who enjoyed the day in its entirety. The well-prepared dinner was served in a most sumptuous manner, and the ones having in charge this difficult task are deserving of the united thanks of each and every one present. Every one was bountifully supplied, from the looks of the plates after din- " ner was over?they presented a scene g of emptiness, which was conclusive proof that all had the desires of theii hearts gratified and the promises ot their appetites fulfilled. Map of Europe Still a Puzzle f Belgrade, Jugoslavia, June la. The map of Europe was so bally cut up by the peacemakers at I'aris that -it is still a constant puzzle to many peo pie, especially Americans. The gen/inphy of the new Baltic republics and the countries in the Bakans and Near East seems to be particularly obscure. European postal authorities find that Americans often confuse Serbia with Siberia, Rumania with Armenia, Ju goslavia with Czecho slovakia, Bucharest with Budapest, Bulgaria with Bavaria, and so on. "Peoples in the United States show the most lamentable lack of knowl edge of this part of the world," i. prominent American diplomat in the Palkans said recently to the correspondent. Not two persons in 10 can locate the Balkan countries accurate ly. And I am sorry to say our own government officials often show distressing ignorance. Not long ago the American consular chief in Belgrade'! received an official seal from the stat >; department, the steel die of which read "Jugo-Slovakia." "Cross Crossings Cautiously."
