The Worlds Dirtiest City.

Smyrna has the reputation of being
one of the most unclean, cities in the
world, and its whole arrang ements, in
deed, are such as would shock even a
local authority OF. the most bonighted
provincial town in Great Britain. An
attempt is now being made to put mat
tiers upon better footing. During the
past year,, amid the pressure of other
business, municipal affairs have been
allowed to stand over altogether, The
result of this -go-lucky system has
been that the state of the city has be-
come almost unbearable. The streets
contain huge collections OF the bodies of
departed cats, dogs, poultry, and rats in
every stage of decomposition, besides
refuse of all sorts; and the only step that
is sometimes taken to cleanse them is
the hanging of the carcases of the ami
mails on the window-bar of the houses
in trent of which they have been de-
posted. This proceeding has led to
neighborlY qnarrels and the wider diff
fusiorlsD horrible smells, and is for the
future to be discontinued as far as pos
sible. In the meantime the Governor
General has chosen nine notables, y
three of when are European gentlemen,
to constitute the new Municipal Council
for Smyrna. The notables are to begin
the work of cleansing the Augean sta
bles without further delay; and as some
of them are known TOT BE-. persons of en-
ergy, hopes are enter tained that better
days are store 0f1hH city, and that
strenuous efforts will he really made te
improve its sanitary arrangements be-
fore pestilence is added to the horrors
of the situation. 1917

The Minnesota Mania for Large Farms,

"a
A Winona (Minn. letter to the Chi
cago Times says Two things have done
wonders for this State during the last
half of the closing year. First, the well
established fact that Minnesota harvest
ed forty million bushels ofNo. / wheat,
and, second, the grasshoppers have all
disappeared, no one knows where.
These two facts seem to be working
great changes in the entire State. Vast
quantities ofwild land have been bought
The frontier has beef. alive with land
hunters. The places where land is sold
have done a land etlice business, and
even the cold weather md bad travelling
seem to produce"no' abatement in the
land fever Largetrgss of land which
have been surveyed and in market these
many years without a buyer or home
stead pre- mptor, have suddenly come
to be sought after by men who propose
to become grangers in dead earnest.
Our railroads have been crowded with
passengers in search of Minnesota wheat

large farms, Scarcely any buy less than

acres. Many are preparing to open
wheat FARMS, and to sow largely the
coming spring. The grand success of
the great Dalrymple wheat farm, which
lis SO large as toirequire 43 reapers with
a self-binding attachment, has con-
WINGED many Capitalists that wheat
can be raised so as to pay a heavy in
tofest on the money invested; at least
they are tempted to'buy immense guam
titles Of these lands and try the expert
ment. They may find that few can do
what Dalrymple has DONE A very
small amount of money buys large
farm. There is mo expense of fencing,
for no stock OF any kind is allowed to
run at large. The breaking and seed
will cost less than So per acre. The
seed alone will cost twice as much as

to get back all the money they pay out

whether they viii be land rich or land
poor. If they do not go and personally

fail to make the experiment profitable.
