AT REASONABLE PRICES THE NEVADA BAR BEER WINES CARDS AND POOL Ethiopia Seen As Fertile Garden For Agriculture By Charles Norman Associated Press Staff Writer The shadow of Italy’s Afri can legions lies across “the finest piece of unappropriat ed real estate on the interna tional horizon.” That is the destination giv en Abyssinia, the largest and most fertile portion of Eth iopia, by Wilfred H. Osgood, curator of zoology, Field Mus eum, Chicago. It is a country that abounds in livestock, estimated to num ber millions; cattle, sheep, goats and poultry are plenti ful. It is capable of being con verted into one vast granary said another observer. I he entire surface of Aby ssinia shows traces of past vol canic upheavals. Now most of the crater shells are filled with the water of the coun try’s extensive lake system. Much Gold and Silver Iron and coal are found ev erywhere. Gold is washed from the sand of mountain streams. Godjam is rich in silver, saltpeter, sulphur and copper deposts. Rock and cof fee are important crops. Med icinal springs abound. Abyssinia proper is a farm er’s paradise. Perpetual spring weather reigns in many localities, and in these crops are numerous and abundant. Every agricul tural product can be raised with ease with the assistance of a bountiful nature, and two and three crops of wheat barley and maize often are harvested in a year. Only one species of live stock is conspicuously among the missing. The Ethiopians, Cptic Christians since about 300 years after the death of Christ, do not eat pork. They like hot, peppery dish es and raw meat, which is considered a delicacy. Children's Ilelp-self Pajamas Flannel and Broadcloth Sanforized-Shrunk AT MILDRED’S SHOPPE H.

Terrain Rough Between Eritrea and Ital ian Somaliland and the Eth iopian highlands lie vast, wat erless plateaus covered with grass and scrub growths—an uninviting watseland through which invading armies have to pass. The mountainous terrain of the interior represents seem ingly insurmountable obstac les, and there are few cities which offer real targets for artillery or air raids. Addis Ababa, the capital; Harrar, center of Emperor Haile Sel assie’s own province, and Dire-Dawa are the only cit ies of any considerable size. The rough regions that make Abyssinia proper a turreted castle of a country offer slight opportunities for landing air planes, or for their take-off.
