Scenery Is an Asset

The central idea animating the forth
coming conference will be the fact that
scenery and climate are valuable assets
capable of conversion into dollars and
ents.
1t is now largely matter Of common
knowledge that, according TO reliable
statistics, Americans annually spend In
europe nearly S2000O0,0O0. Nor does
his figure include at least an addi-
tional 20O,0O0,0O0 spent for art treas
Tres. But placing the amount diverted
rom home circulation at only $780, 200.
100, it has been shown that If this vast
sum could he retained here say for a
period of ten years II would pay the
national debt more than twice over; il
would build a perfectly equipped sea
level canal at Panama and leave
Sl,500 000,0O0 in the treasury. 1t would
build a great roadway from New York
to san Francisco and another from
Portland. Ore, TO St. Augustine, Fla,
md yet another from the great lakes
to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t would make
the United States easily the richest
nation under the sun.
Another evidence of the value of
scenery from the economic standpoint
is given in the statement that at least
$50, 100000 has been left in Vermont
Turing the past ten years by sight
seerS.
Californians Shown
A recent estimate made in California
is to the effect that the tourist traffic
10 this state this season will leave ST.
)00,0 in circulation in the various Local
channels of trade
With these figures in mind it is
little wonder that the business men
IF the west have become aroused L
the demands of the situation. 1t is
natural also, that, dwelling in the
midst of this marvellous scenic envir-
onment they should be the first to be-
come aware of its artistic and CONNER
cial value.

Wealth Is Anarchy

"rhe only anarchy seriously to be
dreaded In America is the anarchy OF
dishonest and selfish wealth. The vast
commercial interests have usurped the
drink, or wear clothes or build houses
or ride on a car or use telephone
without paying taxes to the unjust
greed OF those in power
Even our courts are frequently the
despair OF the poor and the strong arm

 As last resort, arrangements were made to have Mr Earth meet the only woman in America who could come up to his standard Rosa Wedsted the Finnish giantess, also with the circus
 Miss Wedsted is exactly seven feet tall, and while not exactly a beauty, she has pleasant face. She is a dis tintt blonde, while MT Earth is the opposite.
 Miss Wedsted, when approached on the subject, at first was diffident. She Is, strange to say, extremely sensitive about her height. She feared an ad- yertising scheme" of some sort, but was assured that Mr Earth was not connected with any circus or side show, and, in fact, had never yearned to be billed as a giant So finally the giantess consented to meet him.
 MT. Earth Fled.
 The day arrived. George Auger, who looks down on little folks of seven feet, was to make the introduction. The little group, including Col Auger, ''Tody" Hamilton, a New York Sunday World representative, and Mir. Earth. assembled in room at Madison Square Garden. Across the room Miss We'd steu was in little ante-chamber ar rav!ng herself for the meeting that mi to both the interested parties
 Suddenly MT. Earth remembered thas he was in hurry, and, excusing him self, fled ineontinently.
