Mr.. HILL SOUNDS WARNING.

"What Must We Do to Be Fed?'
is the title of the first of q series o
articles by James J. Hill, 'the builder
of the northwest,' which appears II
the Worlds Work. Mr.. Hill points
out strikiugly that . rise In the pric'
of bread and q food shortage have
begun already in this land of plenty
Mr.. lille thoughtful words would b.
alarming did he not point out the
way to feed zoe, 600. 900 people who, he
confidently predicts, will inhsbit this
country at the end of so years. he
begins:
"Land without population is a will
derness, and population without land
is q mob. A prosperous agricultural
interest is to q nation what good d.
gestion is to q man. The soil Is the
only resource that q itself after
having produced value. I do not
wish to bellittle the Importance OF
manufacture or its relative value in
general growth. But for many years
the country has made the mistake of
unduly assisting manufacture, com.
merce and other activities that center
in the cities at the expense of the
farm. The result is q neglected system
of agriculture and the decline of the
farming interest,"" Further on Mr..
Hill says:
ut is made clear by every process
OF logic and by the proof of historic
fact that the wealth of q nation, the
character of it's people, the quality and
permanence of its institutions are all
dependent upon a sound and sufficient
agricultural foundation.
"If could have my way I should
build a couple of warships a year less.
Perhaps one would do. l would take
IS, Zoo, 900 or s6, 900, 900 a year and
start at least 1000 agricultural schools
in the United States at $4,000 a year
each, in the shape of model farms.
This model farm would be simply a
tract Of land conforming in size, and
soil tire atment, crop selection and ro-
tation and methods of agriculture to
modern cultiv alton methods. It's pur-
pose would be to furnish to all its
neighborhood a working model for
common instruction.
LET US set these simple principles
of the new method out in order" says
Mr.. Hill, toward the end of his illu-
min ating article.
"First-The farmer must cultivate
no more land than he can till thor.
oughly. With less labor he will get
more results. Official statistics show
til at the net profit from one crop of 20
bushels of wheat to the acre is as great
as that from two of 16, after original
cost of production has been paid.
"Second-There must be rotation of
crops. Ten years of single cropping
will pretty nearly wear out any but
the richest soil. A proper three or
five year rotation of crops actually
enriches the land.
"Third-There must be soil renova.
tion by fertilizing; and the best fertil-
izer is provided by nature herself"

COST OF MAIL SERVICE,
Postmaster General Proposes Cut In

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O.-There ia q
strong probability that hundreds Of
thousands, and possibly millions OF
dollars, may BE- substracted In the
fiscal year beginning July l, 1911,
from the sums o paid the railro ads
OF the United States for the transpor.
tstion of the msils. Postmaster Gen.
eral Hitchcock is determined to wine
out the postal deficit, if possible. II
an inquiry he is now conducting dis
closes that the railroads are OVERHEAD
for mail carriage he will make recon
mend atoms that will undoubtedly at.
feet the revenues of the railroads of
the country.
For years the charge has been made
that In carrying the n, lie the railroads
have exacted exorbitant rates, far
greater proportion ately than is i'm.
posed upon other forms of traffic.
Within recent years, it is pointed out,
congress has passed laws designed to
protect the shipping public from I'M.
reasonable rates, but failed to scru-
tinize properly, with a view of reducing
them. the charges paid on the busi.
ness of the postal service.
The postoflce now pays to the rail.
roads OF the country approximately
S45 .O00,00 0 q year. This expenditure,
postal officials say, may be reduced
materially without doing an injustice
to the railroads or impairing the eff
cheney of the service. 1t is understood
that the railroads take the position
that their charges for transporting,the
mails are reasonable, and yield only
q fair profit, not more, in fact. so they
declar than comes from other forms
OF traffic. A statement has just been
issued in behalf of the postmaster gen.
eral setting forth in detail his pur.
pose in calling for the data in cues.

CUP PRESENTATIONS
WILL TAKE PLACE TUESDAY.

Next Tuesday evening at the ciuo
houe on Park place the successful con-
testants in the recent ten-hour endur-
ance contest of the New Jersey Auto
mobile and Motor Club will receive the
rewards for their skillful driving under
the adverse conditions of the race, at
which time the cups and trophies won
in the various classes will be presented
and the occasion made one of jollifica-
ton and good fellowship.
There will be sixteen cups in all,
which will be given to the fourteen
successful drivers each receiving a
trophy, while H. A. Bonnell, for his ex-
cellent score, will be presented with
two special cups in addition to a per-
feet score cup.
In order to decide the triple tie hat
existed among the cars In class c., the
race committee has ordered two cups,
the exact duplicates of the Sunday Call
trophy, and instead of deciding the tie
by another race. each one of the three
contestants will receive n of these
cups in place of the perfect score cups
to which they we're entitled. This de-
cision of the committee Is considered
very fair to all concerned, and is heart
lily approved by Z. c. Croselmire, F. L..
Kramer and w. c. Crosby, who were
tied for the trophy.

CLOSED CARS ARE
GETTING GREAT.
VOGUE IN WEST

That within another year or two the
West will see as many enclosed motor
cars If rot more than the East, COM
pared with the total number in use in
the two sections, is the prediction of
Pacific coast dealers in Pierce-ArroW
cars, who have been at the factory at
Buffalo recently. One of them gave his
reasons for believing this in this man
ner:
1.-The man on the coast was quick to
adopt the touring car because he real
ICED at a glance its efficiency. If he
had business interests outside the city
in which he lived, as a great many
men in our part of the country have,
it afforded him a quick means of keep
ing in personal touch with his affairs.
He loon came to see, too, that with the
motor car a suburban home would be
as close to his place of business and
as accessible as a town residence.
For transportation between the city
and his country home he wanted a car
that would be serviceable in any kind
of weather. This brought in the vogue
of the town car, and during the past
year we have sold a number of &C.
horsepower Pierce-Arrow landaulets
broughams. The use of the lower
powered cars of the enclosed type Is
bound to bring about a demand for
high powered cars with enclosed bodies.
This has been shown conclusively By
the inquiries made before | started for
Buffalo concerning fall and winter de-
liveries.
Compared with the larger cities of
the East, we may have been a trife
backward in adopting the enclosed
types for general and town use, but
now that we have, it will not be long
until we catch up

GLIDDEN TOUR
OFFICIALS MAKE
new RULINGS
Signs Showing Name OF Car
to Be Displayed on
Machines.

An announcement that is expected to
please both the manufacturers who
have entered cars in the Glidden tour
and the residents of the country along
the route Of the contest was made this
week by the A. A. A. officials having
the big tour in charge.
The decision has been made to have
the names of the cars, as we'll as their
numbers, on the signs they carry
Formerly the signs had only the words
"A. A. \. tour and the entry numbe
of the car. There has always been a
continual cry of What car is thatF
from spectators who had not provided
themselves with a list of the cars and
their numbers. The signs this year VIII
be twice as large as formerly, and the
names of the cars will be plainly let
tered on them in addition to the num-
bers.
There is not and never has been any
intention of shortening the resting
periods of the tour or curtailing the
stays al Minneapolis and Denver Two
DAYS will be allowed for each city,
the contestants will have every oppor-
tunity to enjoy the entertainments ar
ranged for them by the local auto
mobiIists of those two cities. The route
between Minneapolis and Omaha mas
not yet been officially determined but
II will be a three-day journey between
these cities, instead of two. as orig
inally planned. The arrival at Onsaha
Denver and Kansas City will. cd1se-
auently, be one day later than al rrst
scheduled. This will make the DAYS
spent in Denver Sunday and Monday,
instead of Saturday and Sunday, but
this is said to be preferable IN some
ways

following cars: Three Molines, four
Premiers. two Brushes, one Hupmoblle,
three Maxwells, two Marmons, four e.
NJ. rs, three Chalmers-Detroits, four
