FERTILE PINE LAND SOIL

A trip along the G. & S. l. and n.
O. & N. E. railroads at this season of
the year, when the crops are matur-
ing and when something like an idea
of the yield can be formed, is all that
is necessary to convince any one who
is prospecting for location, to en-.
gage in farming that no section of the
country holds out greater inducements
than does this.
Down here it is one continual sum
mer always, and if fires are needed at
all, there is no cost for fuel, as
around and about every home that
could be established, there would be
found wood in abundance to be had
for the picking up.
And water, as pure as the earth
affords, can be reached at a depth of
from 20 to 30 feet, at cost of putting
down a we'll of abolt $40, and TINS
it will be seen that two of the most
essential requisites of living is taken
care of at little or no expense.
And in the matter of health, it is
the common remark that doctors find
fewer calls for a given number of
population than is the case in any
other portion of the nation, and this
fact, COUPLED on to the others cited,
and the additional one lighter wear
ing apparel climate not calling
for heavy, is cheaper in cost than
the heavy, all combined, from an
economical standpoint, TO say nothing
of fertility of soil and its certainty OF
producing year in and year out, to
make this most desirable section foI
the small farmers whose means are
limited.

HIS DIOCESE A CONTINENT.
Bishop Hartzelrs Seventh Tour OF
the African Mission Field

Bishop Hartzelfs Seventh Tour OF
the African Mission Field
Bishop Joseph Crane HartZell OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, who IS
now on his seventh tour of the Aft
can mission field, has the distinction
of presiding over the largest diocese
on earth. The field of the bishops la
bors comprises no less an extent of ter
ritory than the entire continent of At
RIGA. One trip of inspection and super
vision covers 10000 miles, requires
many months and involves the facing
of dangers and the endurance of hard
ships.
So extensive is Bishop HartZell's tour
that it will be next April before he
will return TO America to report. In
the meantime he will visit almost ev
cry country in South, Central and
Western Africa. Probably his report
on Liberia will be the most interest
ing to Americans. since that state Is
| composed in part of negroes from the
| United States. The Methodist EpiscO
pal church maintains in Liberia TWEEN
| ty primary schools, with about 1900
pupils, the College of West Africa, with
loo, and several industrial schools.

icism or comment, of such persons
now living in America as have be-
come noted as factors in the progress
and achievement of the age. En-
tors, to include all Americans of
more than local note in all lines of
useful effort No name is inserted
or omitted for financial consideration.
In view to determining what
effect education Of the various grades
has had in life, effort was made to
ascertain the school training of each
of these men and women of more
than local note,' and 1852 on their
United States list we're thus classified.
According to the best estimate we
can make from the latest census re-
turns, there are in the United States
40, 7S2.037 persons over twenty one
years of age. These are divided educa-
tionally about as follows:
"Class l. Without School Train
ing, 1862, 1873.
Glass with Only Common
, School Training, go, 962. 9j1
"Class with Common and High
School Training, 2, l65, 357.
Glass With College or Higher
Education added, 1.07l, 3O1.
Nov the question Is, how many
of the eight thousand distinguished
citizens of the United States on the
Who's Who lis came from each OF
the ,e classes?
1.-The 1852. 49o Of Glass l furnished

| Ii thus appears:
| LIST. That an educated child has
one chance in $50, 900 of attaining
distinction as factor in the progress
of the age.
| ''2nd. That a common school ed
ucation will increase his chance,
nearly four times.
Bird. That high school training
will increase the chances of the com
mon school boy twenty three times
giving him eighty-seven times thu
chance OF the uneducated.
eth. That college education
increases the chance of the higl
school boy nine times, giving hin
two hundred and nineteen times Il
chance of the common school boy, ant
more than 500 times the chance of tn
unframed.
1T is a noteworthy fact that of Z,
S52 notables' thus gathered, 4,Sl
proved to be full graduates of col
leges.
:'From the nature of the case j
cannot be claimed that these figure
are exact, but they are based upol
the most reliable government stats
tics and the necessary estimates hav
been made with care. 1t is ais
doubtless true that other circum
stances contributed to the success @
these college trained men, but afte
all reasonable allowances are mad
the figures still force the conclusio
that the more school training tn
chilu has, the greater his chances G
distinction will be. What chanc
