Living BY Pushing the Button.

When Thomas A. Edison says that
people could live whole year on
package food and that few electro.
magnet controlling chutes and hop
pers would reduce the distributing
cost to minimum he shows that
his great inventions have made him
too automatic. He would solve the
problem OF daily work and life by
pushing the button. This is a large
part OF the high cost Of living. Peo-
pie want too many things done auto
matically-food cooked, packed and
delivered on the kitchen tatle. clothes
made ready to wear and many other
things which In the interest OF health
and economy We had better do with
our own hands. Even our farmers
are falling into the habit They must
have automatic devices for feeding
and watering the stock, blowing, cul.
tivating. planting and harvesting the
crops.

Awakened Memories at Festival.

Somehow the Fall Festival awaken.
ed memories as well as aspirations
and one heard "reminiscences on many
lips. One gentleman told interesting
ly how when he came west. boy. In
"a, there was no occupied land fur
ther west than Hutchinson, Kan. till
the tourist came to California, and
how this section Of country was the
range for great herds OF buffalo
many thousand in herd. How these
went heaving over the prairies-one
huge, awful tempest of shaggy black,
their tramping sounding for miles
and how. along about ~. one trav-
cling over the Union Pacific would
see from the car windows the denud-
ed, dead carcasses OF these same buf-
falo. more numerous than could be
numbered The question came up
why the United States government
allowed such wanton slaughter OF
these useful animals and 1t was sug-
gested that II was hard to subduc
the Indians until they were deprived
OF the livlihood that they gained by
hunting the buffalo.
When the Santa Fe began to be
talked OF the people knew many rea.
sons why its construction was impos-
sible. Indian attacks on the work
men and buffalo herds trsmping
over and destroying the tracks were
two insurmountable obstacles.
The great west In 1864 and In 1910,
present two pictures that II is most
wonderfully interesting to contrast.

The leading Thirteen Cities.

After long delay the census of San Francisco has been announced. The lapse of time has been due in part to the necessity to revise the figures carefully, with the result of the elimination of some 5,522 names, originally included by the enumerators, but rejected on in vestigation as being not entitled to inclusion. The population is now stated at 416. .912, an increase n ten years of 21.6 per cent. This leaves the relative status of San Francisco as to it's nearest higher neighbor, Buffalo. unchanged, eech city losing two points in the list of the leading sixteen American com munities. With San Francisco an nounced, this list is now complete, the sixteen cities ranking thus: New York Chicago. Philadelphia, St. Louis. Boston, Cleveland. Bal timore, Plttsburg, Detroit, Buffalo, San Francisco. Milwaukee, Cincin- natl, Newark, New Orleans and Washington. Detroit made the greatest gain in place, from the thirteenth to ninth position. Pitts burg was next, going from eleventh to eighth. Milwaukee and Newark each jumped two places. the former from fourteenth to twelfth and the latter from six teenth to fourteenth. Cleveland gained one point, exchanging places with Baltimore by the narrow mar gin of 2,lOO population. Buffalo dropped from eighth to tenth and San Francisco from ninth to eleventh place. New Orleans made the greatest drop of all. from twelfth to fifteenth place, while Washington fell one point. from fifteenth to sixteenth. Washing ton Star.
