Source of Power.

And the Home Acre farms or gar
dens-the rural homes of Japan-are
the source Of that national power.
Commenting on this, the author of
the article in the August 1904 Book
lovers Magazine, quoted from above,
says in that article
Prom what its advanced agricult-
ure has made its plains to yield Japan
has fed and clothed and educated its
multiplying masses, fast nearing the
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-17

Guilty in the way Of 1t is mere Gus
tom or habit, easily modified.
The terms of school of all city
schools should be changed. There
should be a short winter term, dur
ing which the time should be given to
instruction from the books and In
handicraft within doors.
There should be a summer term OF
equal length during which the schools
would be transferred to the suburbs,
and work in summer school gardens.
The children should be taken back
and forth to these summer school gar
dens at public expense, as they are
now taken to and from the consoll-
dated rural schools on the trolley
lines in some of the New England
states.
The vacation, which would not need
be so long, should be divided between a
spring vacation and a fall vacation,
intervening between the winter city
ERIN and the country summer term OF
each school,
Building Strong Citizenship.
OF course, many will hold up their
hands and say this is impossible.
England finds it impossible, as the
result of her system of great landed
estates, 10 provide neF people WIN
homes on the land, and in conse-
quence her ruin as a nation is only a
question of comparatively brief
time.
Japan, on the contrary, put forth
her hand and solved the very problem
which, to England, seems impossible,
and behold the results in her strength
and power as nation.
1t is only d question with MS. as n
people, whether we will follow the
lead of Japan, and profit by her les
sons, or follow the lead of England
and share in her eventual ruin.
The influences which are DESTROYING
England are at work steadily and in
sldiously in this nation, and though
it will take longer for them to work
our ruin, it is sure to come If we do
not lind way to root the great
majority of our people to the land in
homes of their own, as Japan has
done, and as we can do, unless we
are as blind and as impotent in DEAL
ing with our national problems as
seems to be the fate of England
In the carrying out of this great
patriotic purpose of building a strong
Citizenship by building rural homes
on the land, we are, at the same
time, doing that which will create
the greatest possible commercial
prosperity, and develop to the high
est attainable point, not only the re-
sources OF the Middle West, but of
our entire country.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-17
Our Own Country.

Wher we compare Japan, with its
dense population, its wealth, its rev
enues, its trade and commerce, its
national strength, with any section of
our own country equal to it in area
and natural resources, we are amazed
at the great possibilities of future de
yelopment in our own country.
The entire population of Japan is
about forty-fve million, of which
thirty million is Il farming population,
and this vast population of thirty mil
lon farmers and their families is sus-
tanned on nineteen thousand square
miles of irrigated land. There is no
agriculture in Japan but irrigated
agriculture. They have learned that
water is the greatest fertilizer known
to nature, and save and utilize it with
the same care that they use every
other available process for the fertili-
cation of their fields.
Nineteen thousand square miles Is
an area about one hundred and thirty
five miles square, and in a square in a
corner Of the State of Illinois, the CON-
parative size of which to the rest of
the State is shown on the accompany
ing map, is sustained a nation which,
to the amazement of all other peoples
on the earth, has sprung to the front
as one OF the great world powers.
Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1905-11-17

For, in fact, they are undeveloped
We have, as yet, hardly more than
tickled the earth over this immense
area

Some people console themselves
for everything and find an argn.
ment TO keep others from worrying.
Every one has read the account OF
the slaughter IN Manehuria. The
losses Of the Russians IN the eight
days battle south of Mukden are
estimated at about 10000 men.
Add the losses Of the laps, approx.
imately- for they have not yet
been reported, and you find a tall
total.
During the eight months since the
commencement OF hosillities, the
losses on both sides mus, have
been AGO. 900. But that amounts
to nothing, or so little that the
thing is not worth speaking OF.
The average life of a man is 80
years on all points on the globe
and a man dies at the rate of one a
second or a little over. Now. the
Russo-Japanese wal has lasted eight
months, and during these eight
months in all the known world, we
find that the deaths are 90 a minute
5000 an hour, $1,000 a day, and
s,5os,o 600 a month. Therefore, for
eight months the deaths foot up a
total of eo,756, oooo. Now what
do 200, 900 men killed in Manehc-
da in eight months amoun to COM
pared with the so,7S6.ooo who
have died during the same period
The proportion is n per cent. Il
is just as if somebody discovered
in a town IN which the mortality Is
usually 1850 a week there died last
week ISs.
The philosophers who reason this
way leave little room tor an answer.
Statistics are admirably made TOT
closing peoples mouths. But lei
us put figures in a pleasanter light
The fortune OF France is estimated
at about four hundred milliArds and
It's population is about SS,ooo,oo
Consequently each one OF Us is tn
happy possessor of about 1866
francs. But go out into the stree
and tell every man you NEE, that he
has a capital of 10. 500 francs
Nine ont of ten will be very mueI
surprised at the good news, anc

Wonderful Tree.

Nicaragua has sent experts from
the capital to examine a remarkable
and deadly tree that was recently
discovered on the hacienda OF Srno-
ra Mana Gasteazoro, near the town
OF PetacaIpeque, department of
ChInandePa The tree has been
given the name Of "arbol del diAblo'
or tree of the devil.
1t was discovered through the dis
appearance OF a son OF Sonora Gas
teszoro. Several days ter the boz
dy OF the boy and the carcass OF the
pony he was riding were found un-
der the tree ia a renote part OF the
hacienda. It was noticed thsI q

were the bones OF goats, hogs, bur
Fos and hundreds OF birds Il I,
supposed that the boy, coming upon
he heap OF bones, stopped 10 in

considered among the greatest actors

a thorough mental understanding of
every character he essays he presents
his art studies in manner convincing
and mastery. "Virginius" has always

Way Down East.

"Way Down East which comes to
the Elks theater on Monday. October
lG, has come to be regarded as a class
ic among the wholesome and pictures
que plays which depict rural life in
New England. 1t will be presented
even upon a more elaborate scale than
last season when it tested the ca
racity of all the theaters in which it
appeared. There is in this deft com
hining of humor and pathos with in
cisive daramatic incident a tremen-
dous amount of human interest. The
passions and emotions which sway
these simple people of New Hamp-
shire farm are the same as has gov
erned all people of all ages since the
world began Human nature is pretty
much alike regardless of environment.
and there are heart tragedies among
the peaceful granite hills as stirring
as those of the brilliant city boulevard.
