National for October.

Crops and politics are always in
teresting themes with the American
people, and the National Magazine
for October fairly teens with infor-
nation on these topics of never-fail-
ing interest. The editor of the Ma
tional has actually visited the farms
OF every state of the Union, and his
record of harvest observations Is
summarized in q chatty sketch that
is as exh~ilarating as the COO and
fresh breeZes of autumn. 1t is char
acteristic of this lively editor, when
he takes a summer vacation to be
busy doing something" and his lat
est Swing around the circle vas
occupied In taking observations, and
varying long railroad panoramas of
waving grain-ields, fruitful orchards
and great stock farms, by ~tarrying

farmsteads and engaging in inter-
views across the fence" with the
farmer sages and local orehardists.
No facts or features of farm life in
the United States have been over
looked, and 1t is a clarion call pre-
facing the slogan of the National,
Back to the Land"
Notable in the Nationals harvest
issue are the special contributions
directly from the Governors of the
United States, from whose reports
one realizes something of the mag
nitude of the haryests of the nation
in "The Yield of the Year" These in
clude not only state reports, but even

The October Century.

Forty years ago there were not,
comparatively speaking, many mag
azines-and it was forty years ago
that The Century issued its initial
number. Many popular periodicals
have risen and disappeared, while
ONE have continued within that per-
Tod and even trace their origin to an
earlier date. AS a rule, each of
these magazines addresses itself to
supply particular need in the world
of current literature. In commenting
editorially, in the October number,
on the close of it's fortieth year, The
Century finds that its range has
been little changed" since the date
Of Its birth. Today it emphasizes its
desire to exercise 1.-The conservative
function of a family magazine" and
indicates as it's aim "to be of use to
It's readers, to minister to their en-
joyment, by fiction, poetry, art and
miscellany, that shall take them out
of their cares through wholesome
humor, or absorbing pictures of the
imagination, and through the srarest
of uualities-that of charm"
MacMonnies has chosen Kit Car
son as the principal figure in his
Pioneer Monument which will be I'M
yelled In Denver. 1.-THE Call of the
West" the western spirit, according
to two illustrated articles in the Oc-
tober Century, furnishes the motif,
the underlying sentiment Of the
sculptor in tFfs elaborate and repre-
sentative memorial. One is apt to
think of Cafson as a fighter, and ad-
venturer merely but the informing
account Sf him furnished by Charles
M. Harvey reveals the man in a va
riety of aspects, insomuch that 1t Is
easy to see why he is, after all, OF a
stature big and broad enough to be
chosen to represent the intrepid en-
~tefprise and sagacity upon which
were laid the foundations OF our
western civilization.
