Success Lies In Mans
Use of His Will Power.

B the Rev Dr.. MADISON c. PETERS Of New York
m I'LL is the determinatve force in man. The great works

wv of concentration of thought and determination to CAR
RY OUT TO SUCCESSFUL ISSUE THE IMPULSES
OF THE WILL.
The men who have done great things in the world have not been
miracle workers., nor have they been gifted beyond those who have
done little or nothing. The secret of their greatness lay in their AS
SERTIVE WILL POWER, which they put forward to push them
to the front, while the others were lying prone behind, not using the
talents with which they were endowed, because they would not EX-
ERT THEIR WILL.
TO GET ALONG IN THIS WORLD, TO RISE TO ANY HEIGHT
LET OTHERS SEE THE STUFF THAT is IN YOU AND WHAT YOU
ARE CAPABLE OF DOING.
You who grumble at fate and think you deserve much better treat
ment at the hands of the huctuatng goddess, put on your thinking
cap and try to realize why you are in your present position. Dissect
your own character and bring the pieces carefully under the micro
scope of your own criticism, and you will find that you DESERVE
NO BETTER THAN WHAT YOU ARE GETTING.
As a general rule, the world takes a man at his face value. He
may intrinsicaly be worth a mint of gold, but that consideration has
nothing to do with his ACTUAL WORTH in the world.
THERE ARE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF GOLD HID
DEN IN THE BOWELS OF THE EARTH, BUT IT Is USELESS As
LONG As 1T REMAINS THERE. IT BECOMES VALUABLE ONLY
WHEN IT Is MINED, SEPARATED FROM THE ORE AND FUSED
INTO lNeoTs. IN THE SAME WAY A MAN MAY HAVE HIDDEN
IN HIS COMPOSITION THE RAREsT QUALITIES AND FACULTIES,
BUT THEY ARE USELESS UNLESS BROUGHT OUT AND MADE TO
90 HIMSELF AND THE WORLD SERVICE.

The why" of the
Present High Prices.

By THOMAS NIXON CARVER. Professor IF Economical Harvard University.
1<**<+**s1 HE causes of the present range of high prices may be
- + grouped under two heads, the PHYSICAL AND
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL.
Among the physical causes first place must un-
doubleday be given to the ENORMOUS NCREASE
+********+ IN THE PRODUCTION OF GOLD. Gold il, the
basis Of our currency and of that of the commercial world.
so LONG As THE GOLD STANDARD IS MAINTAINED AND so
LONG As THE GOVERNMENT PURsUEs THE POLICY OF FREE
AND eRATuiTous COINAGE OF GOLD THE PURCHASING POWER
OF A DOLLAR CAN NEVER VARY APPREcIA1LY FROM THAT OF
2s GRAINS OF STANDARD GOLD BULLION.
Since the production of gold has been going UP by leaps and
bounds the purchasing power Of gold bullion has been gradually 60
ing DOWN. This necessarily means cheap money and high prices.
Another physical cause of the present high prices is the practical
EXHAUSTION OF THE FREE PUBLIC LANDS OF THE
WEST. The opening up of the great prairie states in the thiries and
forties, with the development of agricultural machinery and the build
ing Of the transcontinenta] railways since, has poured such a food
of agricultural produce on the world as to seriously disturb the whole
economic equilibrium. Under those conditions the only check to the
production of agricultural products was the labor cost or the limit
fixed by the number of producers. Now there is an additional limit
to the supply, that fixed by the growing scarcity of land-that is,
the TILLABLE AREA is DECREASING IN PROPORTION
TO THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE TO BE FED.
It might be argued that the chief causes are PSYCHOLOGY
IOAL.
A SLIGHT TENDENCY OF PRICES UPWARD TENDS TO GIVE
A GREATLY EXAGGERATED INCREASE IN THE VALUE OF PRO.
DucT1vE PLANTS, AND THE INVESTORS MARKET is THERE.
FORE VIOLENTLY AFFECTED WHERE THE CONSUMERS MARKET
is ONLY SLIGHTLY AFFECTED.
This is a serious phase of the situation, because it means that when
the bearish forces in the consumers market begin to check effectively
the SOARING TENDENCY OF PRICES the effect will be
GREATLY EXAGGERATED IN THE INVESTORS MAR
KE1, and that is a condition on which the wise investor will do well
to ponder deeply.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Throughout the land some millions
OF men and boys-and not few
women and girls-are In throes of
expectations. The time draws near
when the knights Of the diamond are
to enter the lists and sontend for
their several pennants. They are in
practice everywhere, and their idola-
tors. the youths of the country are
swatting the ball on a thousand fields,
training themselves for succession to
the high and mighty places on the ma
tional and state leagues.
There Is nothing at all resembling
the general and intense love of the
plain American people for the game
Of baseball to be discovered In the
present or the past athletic life OF any
other nation. The comparatively
tame cricket of England. the sedate
recreation of the golf links. the more
active game Of la crosse or polo, even
foot ball itself-these at their best
are class diversions after all. But the
exciting play Of base ball is contin-
uously and irresistibly of interest.
The thrill Of its every move is contag-
ious; the smallest boy and the oldest
man hang alike GREATNESS on the fate
OF a double play. the effort to steal a
base. 1t lures the president and the
governor from their executive chairs
a. readily as 1t fills the bleachers
with thousands Of fervent fans.

clssn the Back Yards.

from the Jersey City journal.
AT this season OF the year house
holders thoughts turn naturally to
lawns and back yards. and there Is a
general desire to have clean and orna-
mental surroundings Unfortunately
In many instances the desire is not
strong enough to produce results. A
man who beatuffies his front lawn Is
= public benefactor. He no doubt gets
some satisfaction out of his effort and
expense. but every passer enjoys the
result OF his effort. and the whole
neighborhood Ia benefited. When the
effort extends to the back yard the
not so great, but perhaps the enjoy
ment by the smaller number Is more
intense. No one enjoys dirty back
yard. and every person who sees one
from window forms an unfavorable
opinion OF the householder who per-
mits an unsightly accumulation OF
misplaced matter In his environment
A clean or ornate front lawn is more
common than . clean and ornate
back yard. yet nothing will better re-
pay effort than trim back yard. 1t
can be made to produce grass and
flowers instead of tin cans. ash heaps
and useless wood, and the removal Of
household debris is a sanitary precau-
tion as well as an esthetic demonstra-
ton.

Restless Sons Of Earth
mi the ChicagO Trihune

From the Chicago Tribune.
Seeking new homes in new lands
better opportunities. improved condi-
lions of life, the restless sons OF earth
keep moving today as they have kept
moving for countless generations.
The company OF Hollanders which
passed through Chicago on the way to
Minnesota Is typical in one sense and
worth special attention In another.
The same impelling reasons for immi-
grafton into the United States have
Influenced many others in previous
years. But the quality of the individ-
uals seems higher than the ordinary.
Each head OF family is an experienced
dairy farmer. Each has at least
81, 900 available as initial capital. The
company goes direct to selected land
awaiting It's arrival. The same sort
OF movement of population is noted in
many parts of the world now. Can.
ada, with its strong bid for colonists,
Is attracting large numbers from Eng
land. these immigrants contesting for
the good things In the northwest with
the thousands who are crossing the
line from the United States.

Bank to Disgoxge Big Fortune
As Result Of an Old Romance Bank Of England May Have
To Give Up SIS, 600 o0o-To Fight American Bacon.

Especial Cable from the International
News Serviee.1
NV HERBERT TEMPLE.)
London, April 2.-The Bank OF Eng
land may soon have to disgorge a
fortune. which in the course of years
has now grown to the enormous size
of $s5. 0o0. 900 and which is the result
of a century old romance. The money
was left in this way:
Early in the eighteenth century a
Mr.. Mobbs of Pytchley. quite q poor
man ran away with the owner of
Pytchley Hall. young heiress of I'M
mense wealth. and the whole question
turns on whether they were married
or marriage can be proved.
Some days ago. the Chancery in an
attempt to get the money off its
hands advertised for heirs OF the ro-
mantle Mr.. Mobbs as has been done
regularly every twenty years. without
any success until now. when poor
farm laborer working near Northamp-
ton has unexpectedly presented him.
self as the long sought heir.
George Mobbs. as the man calls
himself has turned his claim over to
a famosu firm of London lawyers.
whose very name is a guarantee that
he must be pretty well able to back
up his claim. He states that only has
he a complete pedigree properly au-
thenticated. showing that he is the
direct heir to the fortune, but that
he is in position to prove the run
away marriage of 1913 years ago upon
which the claim depends.
The claimant also states that he
knows where the clipping pair were
married. fact which eluded other
aspirants to the fortune. and that he
possesses copy of the marriage en-
try in the church register.
English farmers who have long been
jealous of their American and Danish
brethren who have enjoyed the privi-

very short time England is to have
its first cooperative bacon factory.
At large meeting OF farmers held
here the other day the chairman, as
sistant secretary of war, Lord Lucas,
pointed out the magnificent oppor-
tunity which farmers had at the pres
ent time to organize q cooperative
factory.
Prices were high, the Americans
had almost stopped supplying us. II
