Young Roosier Lad Leaves Small
Town to Answer Advertisement of

In Chicago penniless and without a

We're you ever in such circum-

Probably not, but every day sees
hundreds of your fellows who are. The

and thought l was satisfied. l saw an
advertisement in a pamphlet up there,
telling how easy it was to make

When I got to Chicago I went to

DIFFICULTY OF INVASION.

Whenever war is discussed invasion

cessful invasion has always been the
exception, rather than the rule. Eng
land has had fit of the shivers every
few years for centuries at the thought
of invasion, and yet it has actually been
centuries since she has suffered from
an invasion, says Manchester Union
In the last war with England there
was great deal of talk about inva
sion, both of this country and of Can
ada, yet nothing came Of it all except
the taking of York, now Toronto, by
Pike, and the capture Of Washington
by Ross, neither of which had any
permanent results or even any impor.
tant influence on the course of the
war. Now and then something is
said in the newspapers and in military
circles about the invasion of the
United States by the army of some
hostile nation. 1t is we'll enough tc
provide suitable coast defenses, for il
would be disagreeable and expensive
for some one of our seacoast towns
to be levied upon for heavy tribute
by hostile fleet, but as to an inva
sion which would reach anywhere into
the interior, it is not for a moment to
be seriously entertained.

FARMING IN JAPAN.

Those who despise the power Of the
Japanese people should correct their
estimates by study of the agricul-
tural prodigies of this most capable
race, says New York American. In
war the first victory rests with the
commissary, and the last objective OF
all military operations is the COM
mand of the wheat fields-or the rice
fields. Nations are strong not in pro-
portion to their natural resources, but
in proportion to their ability to make
much Of what they have. Now,
Japan does its farming in a way that
is, from military point of view. sim
ply formidable. 1t supports a popula-
ton of 51,000,000 on an area of ara
BILE land that could be contained In
circle with radius of rs miles-con-
siderably less than the distance from
New York to Philadelphia. There are
more farms that are called worn
out" in New England and the middle
the tillable surface of the Japanese
islands. Our lands are worn out"
of course, merely because our scant
skill and tickle patience are exhaust
ed, and not because they do not con-
tain under their hidebound sods the
making of the food of millions. The
teeming little farms of present day
Japan were cropped a thousand years
before the Pilgrims landed on the Ply
mouth sands.

that he could be sure that his funeral

Buffenbarger personally superin-
