Since the First Fourth.

According to a writer who has
taken some pains to investigate
and secure figures to bear out his
statements, there has been some
little growth in this glorious coun-
try of ours since the first Fourth.
In the course of long and we'll
written article, under the above
caption, he introduces the follow
ing facts which will be interesting
in the highest degree to those who
desire to know something of the
growth of this great country
great in area, great in liberty and
great in hope and achievement:
Surely if truth is stranger than
fiction figures are stranger still
when measuring the vast strides
that our country has taken since
the Fourth of July, l776, What
one of the signers dreamed that in
1903, or in less than 30 years after
his ink had dried upon that his
toric document, the United States
would acquire territory OF olo,-
900 square miles, or nearly three
times the size of all the IL original
states put together? But that is
what we got when we bought
Louisiana fo1 $4,000, 900. In
1919. when we took in Florida, we
added more than 10000 square
miles to area; in l04o we took in
Texas with its vast domain of $780,
200 square miles; and within three
years thereafter had absorbed Or
egon and the Mexican concession,
adding in round numbers 100000
square miles more.
Every once in little while Un-
Gle Sam seemed to grow terrltorl-
ally hungry, and would lunch off
promising fragment of the cont
nent. The Gadsden purchase of
$4,000 square miles was made IN
1858; Alaska was bought for ST.
100000 in 1867, adding nearly
100000 square miles to our map,
and in 1897 we took in the Ha-
waiian islands to prove that we
were not discriminating against

every man, woman and child in
the United States has S34 70 If
you have not as much as that you
should 60 to Washington and
demand the difference from Maj
O. P. Austin, chief of the bureau
of statistics. If every one who
has more than $34.72 should go to
Major Austin and "whack up"
with him to the extent of every
penny they have above that sum,
he could make an exact distribu-
ton of our national wealth and
everybody might be satisfaction
minute. The calculation of what
every one in a country ought to
be worth is the estimation of what
is known as the "per capita wealth"
According to the bureau of
statistics reckoning, you and |
are worth good deal more than
we were in the days when the
country was young. In 1900, or
at the time when they have the
first record of per capita wealth,
the citizens of the United States
were only worth SIS a piece The
gain in per capita wealth has not
always been steady during the
decades. Certain census years
showed us poorer than during the
previous ten years, but most of
the time we have been getting
along nicely, thank you. In 1910
we were worth 81 So a head, 1920
had fallen to $6.94; in 1880 we were
even little poorer at $6.79, but
in 1910 had jumped to SlO0l.
In the middle of the century we
had advanced to $12.O2 Il piece,
and from that time on there were
no more bargain drops or reduc- =
tions whatever. But while we ale
talking of what we are worth per
capita, it might not be amiss to
mention the fact that every one of
US here in the United States has
also a debt per capita. In 1900
the per capita debt was $1563, or
more than three times as much as
the wealth per capita. Now,
thank goodness and the statis-
ticians, we seem to be we'll out of

our favor. linen all In Duncn,
during the days of 1898 we took in
Porto Rico, Guam and the Philip.
pines, and few of the Samoan
islands. The Sandwich islands
we're scarcely worth mentioning
for they added only a wee mite to
our real estate hoIdings-6,740
square miles, to be exact-and
Porto Rico with its $500, and
little Guam with its It's might be
left out altogether and we'd hardly
notice that we had lost them. -
The Philippines totaled about
$4,000 square miles, and you'll
hardly be able to suppress smile
when you are informed that the
Samoan islands" that we took
over in 1899 had the enormous
area of 73 square miles. But even
at that there's plenty of room upon
those little ocean dots for cable
houses, dry docks and coaling sta
tions. A few thousand tons of
coal stored at any one of those
places may at some time in the
future save the American battle
ship fleet and give it the power to
overcome foe in the far east.
Thus, all told, when you add up
the various brea kfasts, luncheons,
and dinners of new land that our
uncle has enjoyed since l776 we
get the tidy showing of 1886, ,73l
square miles.
This new territory cost the
United States treasury exactly
SS8,O39.76S, or about $50 square
mile. Add what we've bought to
what we had during the Revolution,
and you get total of little more
than 100000 square miles of
territory.
The government figure experts,
who ought to be the best on earth,
for they get more pay than any
other statisticians on the globe,
calculate that the total wealth of
the United States today is over
$l1O,000,000,000. They have come
to the conclusion, after going over
acres and acres of numerals that

Each claims to have a punch on hand
BY which the other will tie canned.
And each is certain that his style

The while his victim Will remain
Too broken hearted to explain.

Holds pity for the others chance.

them to let their friends take entire

Of trouble.

dom bear the slightest relation to the
things we execute.
When you hear woman say she

Relative to the birds size, theSt,
seeds were as big as an oFdinare
lunch basket would be to a full
grown man.
A birds strength is equally
amazing. A white tailed eagle
weighing twelve pounds, with +
wing spread of six feet, has beel
known to pounce upon a pig
weighing AZ pounds, raise it to a
height of hundred feet and fly
off with it. The bird had cover

in shooting the thief.

ASSOCIATION OF IDEAS

Going to sleep in church is
likely TO be no more awkward
and rude thing than waking up
suddenly in church. An item in
a country paper aptly illustrates
this. No doubt the lady, who
behaved herself admirably under
the circumstances, was quite as
much embarrassed as was her
husband.
Major Young went to sleep
Sunday in church just before the
plate was passed. He snored
for while in ladylike manner,
but suddenly let out q few links
that sounded like trombone
solo.
At that point his wife jabbed
him in the ribs with her elbow,
which awakened him sufficiently
