By JAMES J. HILL. Railroad Builder. o Ack TO THE SOIL M This is the solution of
 the problem of the high cost of living.
 The problem is not local; nei- ther is it national. It is INTER NATIONAL. All Christendom is wrestling with it. Obviously the WORLD HAS REACHED AN ECONOMIC CRISIS. We are not producing foodstuffs enough.
 WE MUST ENLARGE THE FARM ING AREA OF THE EARTH; WE MUST APPLY SCIENTIFIC PRIN- cIPLEs TO FARMING.
 We must adapt ourselves to con ditions as best we can while we are going through the slow, tedious process of making the soil yield more abundantiy.

Two Lona Golf Drives.

Two golf players determined to play
a match by moonlight. The antago-
nists were in every respect worthy OF
each other, and as the match proceed
ed fortune did not appear to incline on
either side. At last they came to a
long hole, and TO each It occurred ut
the same time that critical moment
had been reached and that it was nee
essary to adopt heroic measures. They
drove or two long balls, which to the
eyes OF the ordinary spectators APP
peared to vanish into night, far be-
yond all human powers OF vision to
follow.
But each OF the combatants declared
that he saw perfectly where his ball
had gone, and they walked Off with
unfaltering steps in the direction of
the hole. When they had gone about
$50 yards neither began to show any
signs OF indicating that he had reach
ed the place where he expected to find
his ball. Both went on with unhesitat-
ing stride. At last when they got to
the putting green, somc hundred yards
or SO beyond the longest recorded
drive, both balls were found lying
within a clubs length OF the hole.
Each player had arranged to drop a
ball through hole in his trousers

The king Of the BelgiaHs once left
his umbrella In a hanson when driv-

his majesty few hours afterward by
the proud cabby, who was offered for
his honesty by King Leopold the sum
OF 100 francs. The astute jehu, how,
ever, begged great favor OF the king.
Gould he have the umbrella instead of
the money? The fayer- was granted,
and before many days had passed the
cabman had put up the umbrella for
sale. and 1t was knocked down to some
royal enthusiast for HOO francs.

Early Autonnnhile,

During the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries. marking the ages when me-
chanical genius was Just awakening.
there were attempts to drive vehicles
other than by animal means. Indeed.
as early as 1859 there was a curious
monoeycie automobile built for EN-
peror Macmillan of Germany pro-
PEELED like a treadwheeI by four men
treadingon the inside of great rim and
steered by means Of n haHdle connect
cd to the axle held by man walking
beside 1t. The seat rested on the axle.
and was balanced by weights to keep
1t upright. There was another auto
mobile constructed that same year
driven by crank. which was connect
ed with drive wheel A man walked
alongside and turned the crank by
means of long handle. Two centu-
ries later there was an automobile con-
structed Mt Nuremberg which Travelled
about Germany that year and which
was driven by great springs wound I'D

: The fracture was such that for a
time amputation seemed necessary.
The little one suffered very much and
cried out for her papa. OF whom she is

father could not go to the child, who
suffered double pain from her broken
arm aud the absence OF her father.

There Is little Alice Aston.
She Is the baby daughter Of Colonel

divorced. The decree gives the father
possession OF tho son and the mother
OF Alice.
! Alice will have beautiful clothes and
