600 last year, a showing which is
much better taking into consideration
the size Of the two places.
According to these figures, and call
culating to find some way of compar-
ing the statements from the two
places, 1t is found that Lincoln cleared
s1,020,000 for each unit of population
while Fargo cleared $2,352,94O for
each unit. This is most remarkable
showing and is an evidence of the vast
amount of business done here as com
pared with some Of the cities that are
many times IT'S size.

WILL LIVE IN GLASS HOUSES.
In Ten Years Americans Will Reside
Where They Can't Throw stones.

In Fen Years Americans VIII Reside
Where They Can't Throw stones.
''Within ten years people In this
country will be building houses Of
glass which will excel in sanitary
appointments, beauty and durability
and also low cost of maintenance any
type of structure of the present time
In other words, the American people
within ten years will be living in glass
houses. They will thenceforth be I'M
able to throw stones"
This was the interesting declaration
made recently by Roger S. Pease, one
of the oldest glassmakers in the
United States. man who has taken
an active part in all the improvements
that have set the glass world face to
face with new conditions and placed
it in line for the greatest development
in its long history. the Pittsburg Ga
zette-Times says. By glass houses Mr..
Pease said he meant just what he said.
Foundations of concrete, which are
now recognized as standard, the walls
of wired glass, the ceiling and roofs
of wired glass, and the floors of tile,
covered with light sheeting Of wood
Such building will prove practically
indestructible, can be made Of any sort
of colors desired and requires no paint
ing. no papering inside, will be sound
proof, moisture-proof and fireproof.
Mr. Pease has planned a house that
will be composed of glass and is go
ing to have it finished in some color
that will make it attractive and such
colors will be permanent.
The moment this idea is started, Mr..
Pease declared, the public will be
quick to see the value of the material.
It's cheapness and reliability are I'M
derstood. Glass, he said, is the most
honest and most easily understood ma
terial in the world 1t is not mys-
terious and people will not have to
employ experts to see that the quality
is right The glass for the walls of
houses need not be transparent, but
dense, like slate or stone. The roofs
can be of the same character of glass.
1t withstands heat and cold alike and
whatever patents may interfere with
the cheapness of the material now are
SO nearly expired that it will be but
a short time before these will be elm
mated as a cost factor.

is that all national patriotisms to-day
