Every great fortune had its first foundation laid in small savings. Mar shall Field began work as clerk in a small retail dry goods store. Today he is one of the greatest merchants in America. He saved something every day. Then he put his savings in sav- ings bank, where they drew interest. Why not initiate Fields example by putting your savings in The Home Saw ings Bank?

FOUNDERS or WEALTH-Farmers
know full well that they are the found
alton for much of the prosperity of the
country. Careful finanriers never
make a p:edicauon without acquaintina
themselves thoroughly with the out
look for the farm. An increase IN
crops calls at once for additions to the
rolling stock OF railroads, ami this de-
mand, bringing iron ami steel manu-.
features, mining operations and allied
or dependent industries into frcer ac-
ton, gives employment TO hundreds of
thousands of men who must look tC
the farms for food, and who spend
other portions of their earnings in
ways which permit industries of wide
extent and great variety. National
prosperity, originating in the farms, Is
made possible by the expanding use OF
agricultural machincr, and though The
farmers may not always feel immcdl
atcly the full effects of good times
they share them ultimrtely.--Souther,1

II may be stated as an indisputable
truth that no man ever succeeded at
farming who was ashamed of his crops,
says tho Southern Eurm lnog0&ine. A
man whose farm is so poor or whose
tilIage is so bad that his crops are
worthless had better abandon his call
ing and get at something else. If his
land IS poor he should cmich it. If he
neglects 10 work his crops well he is n
failure already. There is an intense
pleasure to the intelligent farmer to so
direct the operations on his farm as TO
produce crops of which he will bc
proud. lie then rcjoices in his
vocation. His mind is ever on the
alert foY new improvements either fol
fertilizing his soil or for cultivating he
crops.

IMMIGRATION FOR 1900.

Nearly half a million people from
other parts Of the world have come in
to the United States during the year
1900, seeking permanent homes. The
details Of the immigration during the
ten mouths ending with October,
gathered by the Immigration Bureau,
and published by the Bureau of SLatis-
tics, indicate that the immigration for
the calendar year will reach about
100000. OF this number, more than
100 900 came from Austria hungary, :,
an6.lcr 100, 900 from Italy, and nearly
another 100000 from Russia; while
the United Kingdom furnishes moro
than 80 900, of which number 10000
are from Ireland. OF the AGO 900 i'm
migrants, fully 100000 come from
Europe, While but about 1000 or less
than | per cent. come from the tropics
The indispOsition of man in his
migratiOns to select colder country
than that 10 which he has been ac-
customcd is distinctly perceptible in
the history Of our immigration. In all
the years in which detailed records of
the country of origin Of the millions OF
immigrants who have come into the
United States have been carefully
kept, the tropics have seldom sent an
average of more than | per cent. OF
the people seeking permanent homes
in the United >tates. This fact is es-
pecially emphasized, however, by the
record Of the year just ended, since it
offers the first opportunity to observe
whether or not the citizens of the is
lands now controlled by the United
States indicate disposition to trans,
fer their residence to this country.
The fact that during that year the
immigration from Oceania, India
Arabia, Africa, South America, Cen
tral America, and the West Indies
combinc,l--thc entire tropical territory
OF the wOrld--amounts to less than 4 :.
600 people, or less than | per cent. OF
the total immigration, indicates the un.
Willingness of the average citizen OF
tropical lands to transfer his residence
, to even so mill II climate as that which
the Southern part of the United States
offers. The futher fact that during
the year 1900 the total number OF i'm.
migrants coming from the Hawaiian
and Philippine Islands into the United
States was less than $50 Indicates still
further the unpopularity of climate
such az our own, even when joinet
with the material prosperity such as
exists in no other part of the world
with natives Of the tropics.

OF its Onerous character.

or its oncrous character.
The imputation that this committee
which carried to success an undertak
ing which everyone else had aban
doncd, sought by the reorganization ct
impose tux upon the whole Sou,hcr
country' Is absolutely without an,
foundation in truth, and has nothin!
whatever to sustain it. When thes,
people took hold the properties cousti
tutlnS the present Southern railwa,
system were Il physical rs well as :
financial wreck. The service was bad
and the costly way III which it was
rendered forbade tho possibility o.
cheapcning the charge to the public
The reorganizers provided the means
TOR rehabili,ating the system, anG
poured millions upon millions INTO il
Tor its Improvement and development
Now at last the territory served by the
lines has Il railroad service worthy OF
the name. So far from having i'm.
posed tax upon any portion Of the
southern country, we venture the as,
sertlon that the South today, as the
result of these efforts and cxpendi,
lures, is being served better aud
cheaper than at any previous period
in its history.
The statement that there is no cvi-
dence that anything was ever paid on
the common stock Of the Southern
railway is Of the same baseless char
acter. The stock referred to was issued
III exchange for the stocks of the old
companies. Everybody in the finan.
clal and railroad world knows that the
terms were not liberal. Indeed, the
organization was Il peculiarly drastic
one. Leaving out of account what may
have been originally paid on the old
shares, the reOig ganlZation managers
levied heavy assessment on these old
stocks, and also on some classes of
bonds, and the security-holders had to
pay these assessments in order to get
any representation in the rcorganized
company. The Richmond Terminal
shareholders had TO pay $40 per share
and the East Tennessee, common stock
holders had to pay S72O per share
and besides had their holdings reduced
40 per cent. SO hard were these terms
considered that many of the security
owners sacrificed their holdings rather
than accept them, and the rcorganiza-
tion syndicate had to step into the gap.
Ii the Interstate commerce commission
does not know all this it is lneXcusably
ignorant on most important subject,
coming directly Within ITS province.
And what benefits have the security
holders who came in under the reor-
ganization scheme received thus far?
They have had no dividends upon their
holdings Of common stock, and today
Sin and a half years after the reorgani-
za,ion, they find these shares quoted
in the market at the munilicent figure
OF Il. When, therefore, the managers
ot the company sought to protect these
shareholders against the action of the
interstate commerce commission in
threatening Il large reduction Of the
company's revenues, they were evil
IDENTITY doing only their duty. The
commission in denying the request for
rchcaring might at least have re-

lowing figures:


The increase in production is stjll
more remarkable If we consider that
IN 1900 the average weight PEI bale
was about 225 pounds. By 1920 il
had increased to 2GO pounds. 1910 to
3G5 pounds, from which period the
weight has steadily increased until the
present average of about 6OG pound,
has been reached
While our producing power enables
us to supply the world with the raw
material, we view with equal interest
and pride the rapid increase Of our
spinning industry. In 1850 the
quantity of cotton consumed in this
country was less than 500 COO bales, IN
1870 it had increased TO 900 900 bales
and last year the takings of the mills
amounted to 1865 900 bales.
