BACK TO THE LAND.
A Mighty Movement Inaugurated and
What 1t Means.

what II MSdHS.
Land hunger is the foundation for
the present great movement of set
tiers into the northwest and south
west. This movement toward the
land-this eagerness to acquire land
at present priests instructive. The
minds of men and women are turning
toward the land. They do not know
Just why this is so-but the explana-
ton is simple to the deep student OF
human nature, and to the few who
realize psychological conditions and
influences.
Just as the Aryans from Central
Asia swarmed over Europe centuries
ago, just as European immigration
has swarmed into the United States
during the past fifty years, just so are
the people in the more crowded Sec
tons cities and towns of America
now swarming out on to the land,
either in person or for investment and
speculation.
This movement has attained by far
the greater degree of activity in the
northwest, but is rapidly increasing
in the west and southwest, the re-
newed prosperity of the old south is
attracting peop'e thitherward, while
in the middle states and Ontario, as
we'll as in New England and the
maritime provinces, people are walk
ing up to the fact that land values
in the country districts will probably
never be less.
Why Buy Land?
Therefore, the desire to obtain land
for farming purposes, and home,
or for speculation, is keener than
ever All sensible people now real
ize the advantages of country life
and that it is the pace for a home.
Ten years of uninterrupted agricul-
tural prosperity, which bids fair to
long continue, have demonstrated
that farming pays even under shift
less management, while with expert
management, agriculture pays re-
turns so large as to compare favor
ably with banking or manufacturing.
Yet if one does not wish to work
land himself, it can usually be rented
advantageously.
Besides all this, the tremendous ad-
vance in land values in some sections
of the country bids fair to be vastly
greater in the future than in the past
The area of land is fixed and limited
population is increasing by leaps
and bounds. The one hundred mil
lion people now in North America
will eventually be two hundred and
fifty millions. Education, religion and
philanthropy are cooperating to turn
people back to the soil. Country life
is again fashionable.
These are some of the underlying
causes for the ride of population back
to the land, movement that is as yet
relatively in it's infancy. The ire
mendous prosperity and profits en-
joyed by those who homesteaded or
bought the lands Of Indiana, Illinois
Iowa and the older western states,
while those lands were cheap and
comparatively undeveloped, are now
to be duplicated by the settlers upon
and investors in the lands of the
newer sections of the west, north
west and southwest Judd

Berlin, Nov S0.--ln the Prusslan diet
the last two days have been devoted TO
an animated debate ON the bin appro.

shares Of the Hibernla Coal company

Herr Moeller, minister Of commerce

attack by Won Eynern, one OF the Ma.
tional Liberal leaders, who Is a member
of the Hlbernia Coal company's dlrec-
torate, for the secretve way in which
the purchase Of the stock was conduct
ed.
Minister Moeler explained that when
the great movement for the cons6lida-
ton Of the iron, companies with the
great coal companies Of West Germany
was begun he pointed out TO Freiherr

OF finance, that the state must act Inn

The minister deprecated the idea that
he was hostile to great consultations
Of capital on the contrary, he said,
the changed conditions OF the age made
great organizations necessary. II was
only necessary to find the right form
OF organization and men TO be placed at
their head who would remember that
they must act In the public interest and
not In the inclusive interest OF capital
The minister then dipped into the
trust question as 1t exists In the United
States and warned Germany against
copying the American system
For sesyeral years" he said 1--WE In
Europe were under the spell Of those
