By MILTON BRONNER
LONDON — Every day thous
ands of readers of the Evening
News turn first to see what “Poy”
has to- say aad draw about events.
"Poy's" pet subjects are bumpti
ous officials, and latterly the
Germans who, ns he sees It. arc
trying to ilodgo reparations pay
ments to France. In his pro-
French work "Poy” had tho late
Lord Northcllffe's hearty support,
and now he lias it from the lat
ter's brother. Lord Rotherm-re.
who owns the Evening News,
among many other papers.
“Poy” was born in 1874 In
Shanghai, but that’s the only
Chlneae thing nbout him. His
father and mother and all his an
cestors back to Noah's time were
English and proud of It.
All tho same. “Poy” himself
might almost be claimed as an
American. His parents took him
to New York at an early ago and
be grow up there.
He began his studies In tho New
York Art Students League studios
among such classmates as the
since famous F. C. Yohn, F. Luis
Mora and James (Montgo tery
Flagg. He studied also under the
celebrated William M, Clur.e,
the Chase School of Art.
It was also In New York that he
got Ills nickname. In 'irtvnte life
he’s known as Percy 11. Foazon,
but (lie New Y'orkers called him
"Poycey." which his I.issmutes
shortened first to 'Tore,-" and then
to 'Toy", and It stuck, or he t) It,
as may be.
More than 20 years ago “Ppy"
Journeyed to England and studied
for a time under tho renowned
painter. Sir Hubert Herkomer, at
Uushey.
His first cartoon appeared In
“Judy.” then a rival of "Punch.”
but now long defunct.
In 1905 ho went to Manchester
and did cartoons for the Evening

For 18 years he has turned out

"Poy” isn’t married. “When

Outlook This Year Better
Than At Same, Time
Last Year. Some Parts
in B’ad Shape, However.
ATLANTA, Oa. — (By the Asso
ciated Press) — The general farm
outlook in the Southeastern states
la much more encouraging than
at thla time last year, but there
are areas in very bad shape from
every standpoint, the bureau of
agricultural economist of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture declar
ed In Its mid-month crop report for
the states of North and South Caro
llna, Florida, Alabama. Tennessee,
and Georgia. Idle land In the worst
weevil Infested areas, the report
asserted, will run from ten to
twenty percent duping the coming
season.
The movement of labor from
farms to the Industrial centers
continues, the review said, and the
fanners are unable to meet tho
competitive prices. The situation
waa said to be serious in certain
portions of Georgia, South and
North Carolina.
A general increase In fertilizers
Is expected,'according to the re
port except In North Carolina and
North Georgln where the weevil
was active during the past season.
LIVESTOCK CONDITION
IS 8AID TO BE GOOD
GEORGIA livestock Is in unusu
ally good condition on account of
tho mild winter, the report assert
ed, adding that the condition of
range cattle Is poor in Florida.
Movement of hogs is brisk except
In Florida, where they have been
waiting for cooler weather.
Florida reports heavy move
ments of cabbage, celery and let
tuce and preparation of ground go

In the Southern belt The Florida
cantolopo acreage Is estimated to
bo large this season. The general
tendency for increased crop acre
ages Is reported from all over the
territory and the truck crops are
good but growing too rapidly. The
cold spell tho last few days Is re
tarding development. The Geor

tends Into many new counties.

NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORK—The cotton market
opened unchanged to 14 point* net
lower, with near months relatively
firm on continued covering t»y March
nhorts o trade buying. It seemed
however, that the advance of lute
Inst week had eased the techincal
position to some extent nnd the later
months were casie under realising
or selling for eactlon which was pro
moted by lower Liverpool cables than
ekpected and reports of continued “nuimwi"
good weather In the south. March St#^ Louil, Mo., H. S. Phillips,
CALCUTTA—Brigadier Gener
al George Pereira, qf the British
army, saw active service in both
the South African and European
wars, and in spite of these experi
ences and his 58 years, the love of
adventure in thla soldier was to
strong that he started alone two
years ago on a 7,000 mile journey
of tho utmost difficulty. So far as
the records go, no man had ever
before made the trip the General
selected for his adventure. He cov
ered half the distance on foot, and
is now in a Calcutta hospital re
covering from the effects of some
jf his hardships. _'\t>
After the armistice General
Pereira was sent to Peking asvmll-
itary attache to the British i em
bassy. In January of 1921 he was
ready to go back lo England, but
his sporting instinct had .been
aroused by tales of the difficulty
of travel through certain sections
of China and he jeceived neTtris.-
sion to make his way overland to
Calcutta.
The first lap of his journey was
luxurious, a firet-class coach from
Peking to Tientsin. Thence a
"hinese cart carried him to Shansi.
When he had crossed the Wangho
he proceeded, partly by. train, to
Lciyang where he was the guest
of General Wu Pei-fn, who was
busily engaged at tho lime in lead
ing a widespread political and
revolutionary movement against
the constituted authority.
General Pereira visited Sianfu,
the old capital of tho country, and
climbed She Hwashan, one of the
sacred mountains of China. This
climb was extremely difficult. The
mountain consists of great rocks,
with steep, zig-zag paths winding
upward between them. Tho paths
are cut into the rocks in the form
of irregular steps, some of which
ore a foot or two in height. At the
sides of these paths arc precipit
ous drops of 2,000 feet or more.
The climb had to be made with
the assistance of iron chains.
The General’s itinerary . then
took him through the bandit In
fested provinces of Shensi and
Szc-chuen. In one of these prov
inces there are reported to be 50,-
000 brigands. Just before General
Pereira went through a mission
ary lmd been captured by these da-
coita. These two provinces, ac
cording to General Pereira’s re
port, are in a state of utter chaos.
They do not recognize the author
ity of Peking. It is practically im
possible to travel through either
of them without making some ar
rangement with the brigands.
General Pereira visited the mag
istrate, who discussed the .matter
with the brigand leaders. The
traveler was then allowed to pro
ceed unmolested.
A journey was next made into
the Tachientu district, a region of
China inhabited by Tibetan tribet.
General Pereira from there work
ed his way northward through
more country inhabited by these
tribes, and then up the river into
Kwansu. Here he met Prince Chor-
ri, who has a vast tract of terri
tory under his Jurisdiction and is
the most Important Tibetan prince
in the province. Hero the General
spent some time in hunting with
the prince.
Then came a tedious journey
across northern* tern Tibet, and
General Pereira says it was a
great relief to get into Jeqkundo,
where he found a few shops and
could replenish his wardrobe.
Here he met Madame Neel, a
French Buddhist, who was the
only European encoqntered dur
ing the entire Journey across Ti
bet down to Cyantxe, which is a
British trade center.
From Lhaiaa. the Journey to
Calcutta lay along a fairly fa
miliar route, and the going was
continued relatively firm but eased
off to 28.30 shortly after the call,
or Helling for reaction which was pro-
niontlin werre easier under realising
25 points with May selling at 28.60
nnd July at 28.00 during the early
trading.
Trading was very quiet during the
middle of the afternoon and about
the only feature was the relative
firmness of March contracts as a re*
suit of scattered selling and furthot
trade buying. March sold up to 28.48
making u new high price for the day
and a net advance of eight points
while later months were about one
to two points net lower, with May
Mel'ilng at 28.77 around 2 o’clock.
Trade Interests seemed willing to
buy March at about 32 points under
May but the demand for the near
month, combined with further scat
tered covering In later deliveries,
;ave them a fairly steady undertone
•luring the middle of the morning.
May rallied from 28.60 to 28.69 and
July from 28.09 to 28.19 but this ad
vance was not fully maintained nnd
the market was quiet at midday with
active months ’about 8 to 10 points
net lower. Manchester cables re
ported yarns dull but steady with
cloths quiet nnd firm.

CARE OF WATER BAGS
Even the most expensive of hot-
water bags seldom reach a ripe old
age. This Is largely because they
are not cared for properly. If, after
each using, you will blow the bag

you will prevent the sides from
sticking together, and consequently
