HOMES IN COUNTRY
SUGGESTIONS AS TO FUTURE
DEVELOPMENT OF SUBURBS.

The future condition and Development
of the suburban and country lands with
in the zone OF Washington is q subject
that interests Grant Parish, real estate
broker. who has given it considerable
thought IF our capital city of the
United States continues to develop into a
principality, politically and socially - OBJ
served Mr.. Parish, what will result be-
yond the city boundaries? Naturally the
same par excellence will prevail 1t can
not be otherwise. At the present time we
are. in my judgment. ncglecting the basic
foundation of our future suburban com
petcness, and that omission is the utter
absence of restrictions that will protect
the present ard future owners of the out
lying real estate.
To-day we have subdivisions galore
To reduce acreage into square feet is the
one ambition among realty brokers. Re-
strctions against nuisances. restrictions
to protect ii man VINO buys and builds
do not belong exclusively to the rich
mans allotment. A hard working me-
chanic figuring or modest home should
be protected. There should be some gu y
antee of future advantages and not disad-
vartag2s. The character of a subdivision
should be defined and like wine improve
with old aga. This is possible only through
restrictions that are part OF decd ana
recorded in legal form as matter of
record.
Never before has our Immediate vicin-
ity presented such activity and oppor-
tunities. but the future successes must
be on different lines. The brokers and eX-
ploiters must duplicate the permanency
that one finds in the beautiful collective
homes that now form that delightful

Healthy England.
I'm the London Standard

The quarterly return of. marriages for
the months of April. May and June. and
of births and deaths for the months of
July, August and September, states that
as regards the United Kingdom the num-
Der of persons married In the quarter was
167,9i6. that the number Of births was
2s6. 40S and Of deaths l37, 753. The birth
rate for the quarter was 25.S: the death
rate 1914 per 1000 Of the estimated popu-
lation of 44,1O&.32l. The marriage rate
was 1913 per 1000
AS regards England and Wales. the
number of persons married was 139. $40,
being equal to an annual rate Of 16 per-
sons per 1000. against an average OF 11.3
in the corresponding quarters Of the last
ten years. The births numbered 23O.05S
and were in the proportion of 26.l annual
ly, being 2.5 below the mean birth rate of
the ten corresponding quarters. The
deaths numbered 100 400. and were in the
proportion Of 12.1 annually per 1000 per-
sons living, this being 80 per 1000 be-
low the mean rate in the ten correspond
ing quarters. and is the lowest death rate
recorded in any quarter since civil regis
tration was established. The abnormal
fall in the death rate of the last quarter
was mainly due to the showery and ex-
ceedingly cool summer. which checked the
rise in the rate of child mortality that
usually occurs in the third quarter of the
year.

Speaks Well of Rawhide

R. R. Bailey, who returned Tuesday
from a visit to Rawhide, speaks in glow
ing terms of the prospects of the camp.
"Rawhide's future is assured I" says
Mr.. Bailey, "even though the lodges
uncovered up to the present time should
pinch out, which is contrary to my be-
lief. The sur face showing is so great
and covers SO large territory that ii
will warrant large expenditure of cap
ital to determine fully what the ground
really holds. And during that time
Rawhide will grow to a city of several
thousand inhabitants.

.HOGUE At SAN ANTONIO
Submits Proposition to That City For
Road to BrownsviIle-Propo-
sition Being Considered.

The following is taken from the
San Antonio Gazette of Monday,
August 81:
At meeting of the board of direc-
tors of the Business Mems club, which
has been called for this afternoon at
5 o'clock, w. J. Hogue of the Union
Central Construction company of Dali
las and Chicago, will submit a propo-
sition for the construction of rail-
road south from this city towards the
Rio Grande and Brownsville.
While details of the proposition to
some extent have been agreed upon
between Mr.. Hogue and the members
of the railroad committee of the Bust
ness Mems club, the entire PROPOSE
ton has not yet been reduced to writ
ing. However, it is now being pre-
pared and will be ready for submits
sion at the meeting tomorrow.
In connection with the called meet
ing the committee this morning gave
out the following statement relative
to Mr.. Hogue's offer:
Liberal Proposition.
1t is said the proposition is lib
eral one, asking less of San Antonio
than any previous proposition sub
mitted, and that the terms of the con
tract will be hedged about by such
absolute guarantees of a gilt-edged
financial kind as to protect the local
business interests in every way.
These guarantees are also an eyi
dence of good faith on the part Of the
syndicate proposition to build this
road, and seem to hold out every as
surance of the construction of this
much needed highway Of travel.
The building of such a road will an
ticipate the construction of railroad!
running east and west through tht
| territory south of San Antonio, which
has been long threatened and which
would seriously curtail the business
territory tributary to San Antonio AM
! jeopardize the commercial si1nremazI
fof this city
1.rhe business interests of San Antd
Mo are vitality interested in seeing
this road built and will give careful
consideration to the proposition sub
mitted.
Hogue Goes to Dallas.
Mr.. Hogue left for Dallas this morn
ing and will be represented at thu
meeting tomorrow by his attorney

CONVENTION
Farmers Educational and co-opera-
tive Union In Session at Fort
Worth This Week.
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Fort Worth, Texas, Sept. 1.-Dele- |
gates from all over the South and
from many central and western states, |
representative over a million Ameri-
can farmers, are today gathering in
Fort Worth for the national conven-
ton of the largest and most powerful
organization of agriculture interests
in the worlds history. The Farmers
Educational and Cooperative Union,
familiarly known as the farmers
anion," was originally organized to
1.iaintain a fair price for the South's
cotton crop, but the present conven-
ton finds it truly national body,
with all classes of farmers represent
ed It is likely that Charles Barrett
of Georgia, under whose guiding
hand the union has made its great
strides in the past, will be reelected
as national president.
The union is organized on entirely
different lines from any organization
of farmers ever got together. Instead
Of trying to force down the price of
goods they purchase, except SO far as
to cut off the profits of middlemen,
their principal purpose is to get bet
|ter prices for the products of the
farm. They have also formed an al
lance with the labor organizations of
the various states and Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor.
The union is especially strong in
the South and West, although thou
sands of farmers in the Northwest
Iare joining the organization daily.
AS a business organization it has
overturned the old order of things as
advanced by the Grange and Farm
lers' Alliance. 1t believes that the
better the wages paid workingmen
The higher prices the latter can pay
sor farm products-and more will be
/ 9onsumed. Hence, under the princi-
IsSler Of business they attemp to bring
- the farmer and worker are
ought together III material inter-
1 est instead of being forced apart.
This is the first organization in the
history of the farm that has stood by
organized labor and joined with it in
the effort to benefit the condition of
all labor. Its members teach that
the interests of the farmer and work
er are identical
/ The principal business of the Farm
ers' Union is to make prices for the
products of the farm. In 1894, when
the largest cotton crop in the history
of the world was produced, and the
price, was sent down to cents a
pound at interior points, the Texas
farmers showed what they could do
through organization. They held
their cotton until the price was fore
ed back to 10 cents pound. This
at the time was regarded as the
greatest industrial victory ever gained
by an organization of this character
Since then in annual convention they
have fixed the minimum price at
| which members woodland they al
ways got it-sell cotton. Before that
spectators fixed the price.

An End MEsslnn.

An Irishman who served on board
a man-of-war was selected by one Of
the officers to haul in a towline of con-
siderable length that was towing over
the taffrail. After pulling in 40 or so
fathoms, which had put his patience
severely to proof, as well as every
muscle of his arms, he mutte1od to
himself:
Surely it'B as long as to-day and to-
morrow. It's a good weeks work for
any five in the ship. Bad luck to the
leg or the arm it'll leave at last. What,
more of it yet? Och, murder! The
says mighty deep, to be sure!"
After continuing in a similar strain
and conceiving there was little prob
ability of the completion of his labor,
he suddenly stopped short, and, ad-
dressing the officer of the watch, ex-
claimed: bad manners to me, sir, IL
I don't think somebody's cut off the
other end Of it!'-The Pathfinder.
