JOHN R. SHULTZ.
Atkinson Graphic, April 22: A
wound in one arm caused by a calf
kicking a knife out of his hand re
sulted fatally to John R. Shultz, a
—south Holt county ranchman.
The accident happened while he was
marking calves several weeks ago.
Later, blood poison attacked the in
jured arm and for two weeks before
the end came he was treated and nurs
ed in a Norfolk hospital.
Aside from hired help deceased
lived alone on his ranch, the wife and
one daughter living in Broken Bow,
Nebraska, and one daughter in Kan
sas.
One daughter, Mrs. Esther Northrop
of Broken Bow, was with him at the
end, the funeral taking place at Grand

RAPA, PARADISE
FOR LAZY MEN
Women Do All Work, Even to
Feeding the Indolent Male
of the Species.
MIT WORRIED BY CLOTHES
-
Natives Went Naked Until Soandal
ized White Missionary Hailing
Prom Tahiti Gathered Old
Garments for Them.
Rapa, Dangerous Archipelago, South
Pacific.—They toll not, neither do they
spin, and In all the reaches of the
seven seas it would take a long voyage
to find a more lazy population of men
than Rapa's.
In Rapa the women are the hewers
of wood and the drawers of water. In
other happy climes of Micronesia and
Polynesia the self-appointed "lord of
creation" will deign to raise his hand
aloft and pluck for himself the fruit
of the banana and orange tree. In
Rapa, however, he will not even feed
himself.
When mealtime comes the woman of
the family, after foraging for food and
cooking It, must also put It Into the
mouth of her lord and master. They
roll the taro “pot" Into little halls and
toss them into the open mouths of the
men folks.
Not Worried by Clothes.
The people of Rapa wear no clothes
—or did not until a scandalized white
missionary from Tahiti Insisted on
gathering some old garments from his
more favored parishioners In Papeete
and hurried them to Rapa.
Rapa, known also as Oparo, is one of
the most Isolated and most interesting
Islands In the Sonth Pacific. It lies
south of Tahiti, far out In the tropics,
included In the French settlements In
Oceania and inhabited by Polynesians
of the same type as the Tahitians.
It is one of the few spots most light
ly touched by the finger of civilization
Seldom does a schooner touch here—
not more than once a year—and once
In a great while a French gunboat
from Papeete will voyage Into the
Dangerous archipelago.
Has Coal Deposits.
The island Itself Is mountainous,
with strange castle-llke peaks rising
In the Interior. It possesses a good
harbor, and, what Is most unique In
the South Sea islands, has deposits of
coal, not of very good quality, though.
When the Panama canal was near
ing completion there was much talk In
Tahiti of establishing a coaling station
here, Rapn being close to the southern
great circle route t . 1 admirably adapt
ed to such a purpose, but no such
thing had come to rudely shock the
serene existence of Rapa men.
LOYALTY TO MIKADO TAUGHT
Japanese Children in Hawaii Under
Allen Influence, Mission
Board Says.
Honolulu.—Certain priests and lan
unge school instructors in Hnwail are
teaching young Japanese children
their first loyalty is to the emperor of
Japan, even If they become American
citizens, the Japanese committee of
rlie Hawaiian board of missions re
ported In submitting the following
resolution :
“Be it resolved, that It ts the point
of view of tlie Hawaiian board at the
beginning of the second century of
mission work that for plantations to
continue, as in the past, to financially
assist the non-Christian religious
organizations is detrimental to the
welfare of Hawaii, and is a hindrance
to the Christianization and American
ization of the nllen peoples in the Ha
waiian Islands, nnd we urge the mem
bers of the board financially interested
In tlie plantations to present this view
to tlie hoards of directors.”

Berlin Claims Most Area.
Berlin.—Greater Berlin, with Its
latest addition, claims to be the big
gest metropolis on earth.
Its area is officially given as 877.66

New York’s 840 square kilometers
(307.8 square miles), Paris’ 480, Lon

BARTER IN AUSTRIA
Medium of Exchange as Paper
Crowns Lose Value.
Peasant Demands Something More
Valuable Than Paper Currency
for Hls Products.
Vienna.—Only Americans of a gen
eration ago who traded farm products
at the crossroads store for everything
from shoes to sugar can realize the
extent of barter In Austria today.
With the country flooded with cheap
money, the peasants’ stockings and
bank accounts fat with currency and
legislation Impending for a compul
sory levy on fortunes, the paper crown
virtually Is spurned by those who pro
duce the necessities of life.
For eggs or butter, cheese or white
flour, fat geese and ducks, pork prod
ucts and all the things that the Aus
trian city dweller must do without,
the peasant wants something more
valuable than the paper constantly
turned out by the Austro-Hungarian
banks.
Prodigious offers of crowns fall
where a linen shirt, silk stockings
(even much darned), rugs, musical In
struments, shoes and such things bring
results.
The story of how the bourgeoisie and
poor nobility of Vienna have part
ed with their wardrobes and furniture,
their pianos and carpets, fop food, has
been <Aften told. Now everyone Is
getting back to first principles In
trade.
Visiting a retired officer In hls lit
tle country place the correspondent
saw It work. The officer could not
pay 500 crowns a pair for gloves for
a wife and three daughters. But he
had three roebuck hides from the ani
mals he had shot this season. He
exchanged them for two dressed hides.
The village glover made them into
gloves, taking in payment elder, mut
ton and some veal from the little
farm.
Then came the problem of stock
ings, almost unpurchasable In Aus- ,
trla. There were 11 sheep grazing i
on the place. Sheared they yielded
enough wool to exchange for yam sul
fleient to knit the family hosiery for ■
the coming winter.
The apple crop of this tiny estate
has been mortgaged for grain to a
neighbor who has no fruit and the
miller will take hls pay In toll.
The host who entertained In the lit
tle cottage now hls home, filled with
American and English periodicals,
once trod the quarter deck of hls own
cruiser. A uniform stripped of orna
ments and recut In civilian style Is
hls best suit.

ZULUS HONOR LORD BUXTON
Give British Governor-General Fare
well Ovation—Express Affection
and Esteem.
Durban, South Africa.—The chief of
the Zulu nation, his ringed headmen
and many minor chiefs, recently as
sembled in the courthouse at Marltz
burg and delivered speeches of affec
tion and esteem for Lord Sidney
Charles Iluxton, retiring governor
general of South Africa, and Lady
Buxton, who accompanied ulm on I he
farewell visit. There was an enthusi
astic demonstration.
The courthouse was packed with
Zulus, some of them In frock coats
and wearing medals received for
bravery In the war, but others, also
wearing medals, were clad only In the
primitive Zulu fashion.
The governor general thanked ti«.
ZuliA for their excellent behavior dur
ing the war.
Aged 72, Cycles Long Way.
Blair, Neb.—John Warner, seven ty

pleted a bicycle trip from California.

enty-year-old mark, and In poor
health, lie took up bicycling as a rec
reation and as a restorative of health,
tind has ridden more than 30,000 miles
on the bicycle on which he made the
Journey to Blair.
He says he feels leu years younger
than he did fen years before he hr

GREAT DRY DOCK IN NAPLES
Italian Government Authorize* Con
struction of Mammoth Affair on
Mediterranean.
Washington.—The largest dry dock
on the Mediterranean Is planned at
Naples
Recent decrees of the Italian govern
ment authorizing the construction of
this dock and a smaller one at the in
dustrial port of Bata-Avemo provide
that work must begin within six
months of the official date of the
declaration of peace.
Besides the dry docks, It Is planned
to transform Lake Averno for the use
of ship yards, and to build a canal
connecting the lake with the port of
Naples proper.
The Italian government will within ■
a period at fifty years pay about half
of the cost of the work and at the end
of sixty years the entire property
automatically becomes government
property.

CROPS IN FAIR CONDITION.
An excellent condition of winter
vheat and rye, improvement in oats,
trospects of some fruit, slight de
treased acreage in some of the staple
:rops, more tame grass pasture and
summer fallow, and highly favorable i
toil condition are the leading features
of the Weekly Nebraska crop report,
made public Tuesday by A. E. Ander
son, of the federal bureau of crop es
timates.
“Winter wheat acreage was reduced
2 per cent, but the condition is fine.”
continues the statement. “Very little
if any, abandonment is expected.
Spring wheat acreage will bo the same
as last year which was about the usual
pre-war acreage. Most of the other
spring grain crops are up. Oats ate
improving and a slightly increased
acreage is expected.
“Preparation of ground for com con
tinues and a slightly decreased acre
age is planned. Tame hay acreage is
now large enough to meet all demands
for hay, but the seeding of some tame
grasses for pastures is planned. The
seeding of sweet clover for pasture
and as a soil builder is increasing.
“Conditions are favorable for pota
toes. The earliest planted potatoes
will soon be up, but in western Ne
braska the planting of potatoes will be
icntinued for another month. Last
gear’s acreage was unusually small
and a slight increase is expected this
vear.
“Early blooming tree fruits, like
peaches, pears, apricots and plums,
are nearly a failure, but there are
prospects for some cherries. Apples
that blossomed early promise little
fruit, but the late blooming varieties
tange from poor to a faiT crop, lie
vitality of fruit buds was very high
this spring due to the light crop last
year and the favorable season last
summer and autumn, and for this rea
son were in better condition to with
stand the freezing temperatures this
spring. The last period of cool weath
er did some damage to small fruits,
especially grapes.”
