Captain II. S. Norton gave a strong
talk in which he defended the peoples
rights in regards to the awarding
franchises for public utilities and said
they had a right to know what was be-
ing done with the streets.
Gary wants street cars on every
street where they should be and wants
them at once said Captain Norton. The
Ridge road is entitled to car line. not
in one. three or six years, but at once
and the only way to keep the retail
center where 1t is is to bring the out
lying districts in touch with it,
Captain Norton said that he thought
the Commercial clubs report was a
conservative one although he hims elf
would not have recommended the clause
wherein the city should be entitled to
go through the books of the company
and a division of the profits for the
city He also said that the Commercial
club did not blame Mr.. Geist but they
did blame the hasty manner in which
the franchise was railroaded through
the council.
Fl. @. Hay strongly criticised the city
administration for its haste in passing
the franchise. Mr.. Hay said he did not
blame Mr. Geist for trying to get all
he could but he did blame the city adj
ministration for the way the franchise
was put through on the ito hell with

Resignation of Officers Army Menace

number Of reasons which disqualify
an officer, n especial disqualification
being susceptibility to seasickness,
which n~ecessitates resignation of
many young men.
During the last year, 1t is said at
the war department, very few cadets
or second ~lieutenants have presented
their designations. Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood, chief Of staff of the army, has
refused to permit a lieutenant Of the
cavalry to get out Of the army to en-
gage in civil pursuits because he was
about to be married. He, however,
granted the young man a three months
leave Of absence for his honeymoon.
The lottery Is a profitable scheme In
Cuba and the returns to the war de-
partment show that last year the Gu
ban government received from this
source $3,300,000 profit, which repre-
sents ten per cent. Of the entire an
nual receipts from all sources.
But despite the revenue the Cuban
government is seriously contemplating
gradual abolition Of the lottery in view
Of the enormous weight of evidence
to show that 1t is impoverishing the
laboring classes and creating great

100000. The enormous increase here
recorded of $15.32S, 762. 900 represents
an advance Of 117.4 per cent. in the
value Of all land in farms.
OF the factors contributing to this
increase in the average value Of land
the most important is doubtless that
Of advancing farm prices Of ~agricultu-
raj products. This has increased the
income-producing power Of the farm
and correspondingly Influenced the
selling price or value Of farm land. It
is probable also that in calculating
the value Of farm lands 1t has become
customary to capitalize the income
producing power at a lower rate Of in
terest than formerly. This might be
true, despite the fact that interest
rates in general have probably not
fallen, because of the reduction in the
risk Of the farming business.

Population Gains Faster Than Farms

CENSUS Director Durand has given
~ out an important statement from

ditional figures and details of the agri-
cultural statistics Of continental Unit
ed States collected April Is, 1910.
During the ten years which followed
the census Of 1900 the population Of
the United States increased 81 per
cent, but the number Of farms did not
keep pace with the increase in popu-
lation. From 5,737,372, in 1900, the
number grew to ~6,340,357, an increase
Of 6O2,985, OF 10.5 per cent. For the
whole United States this is the lowest
rate of increase which has been noted
since the number Of farms was first
recorded in 1850. The increase in the
total acreage devoted to agriculture
was only 35,137,00 acres, or AZ per
cent. The actual area In farms was
S38, 1892, 900 acres in 1900 and 873, 729.-

COULDN'T STAND IT."

II suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by lit
tie pimples breaking out. I kept
scratching till the blood came. It kept
getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights
any more. It kept itching for about q
month, then I went to a doctor and
cot some liquid to take. It seemed
as If I was going to get better. The
itching stopped for about three days,
but when 1t started again, was even
worse than before. The czema itched
SO badly I couldn't stand 1t any more.
II went to a doctor and he gave me
some medicine. but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edies in the house, so I decided to try
them. I had been using Cuticura
Soap, so I got me a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and washed off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times a
day, and then put the Cuticura ONT
ment on. The first day I put it on, 1t
relieved me Of itching so I could sleep
all that night. It took about a week,
then I could see the scab come OF. I
kept the treatment up for three weeks.
and my eczema was cured.
"My brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
