breaths and heartbeats.

output that few years more of its present
rate of gain will put it in front of New York.
If Alaska were included in all compari-
sons, it would show first in landed area,
first in inappropriate lands, in which,
otherwise; Nevada stands at the top, and
first in illiteracy.
New York, of course, is supreme in all
banking matters, as it is also in the capitali-
cation and Indebtedness of corporations;
but these figures are, not strongly compare
tive, for the reason that banks and corpo-
rations of other States are largely directed
from the metropolis.

of negro illiterates is in Louisiana, where also
the average of illiteracy for both races is the
highest in the United States.
1t may or may not be compensating
blessing, and may be only in consonance
with the unbalanced condition of SO large
a percentage of the population, but it is true
that the States which have the largest per-
centage of illiteracy also tax their people to
the smallest extent. North Carolinas tax
rate per one thousand dollars of property
and per inhsbitant is lower than in any
other State. The highest tax rate per one
hundred dollars of property is in Nebraska
where it amounts to 1927, against S1.15
in North Carolina. And the highest tax
rate per capita is in Colorado, where it
amounts to $19.34, against $2.04 in North
Carolina, and an average of 1922 in all the
States.
The fact that a State has the largest
amount of visible wealth or the greatest
amount of Indebtedness does not seem to
determine the relative tax per one hundred
dollars of property or per lnhabltant. New
York, of course, has the largest wealth. but
its tax rate is about two dollars less than
that of Colorado. Also New York has the
largest amount of aggregate Indebtedness;
but the largest Indebtedness per capita is in
Massachusetts.
Massachusetts, by the way, does not rank
this year at the head of the national class
in very many things, its leadership being
confined to the Indebtedness per capita, the
number of Portuguese, the number of Con-
gregationalists, and the output of the fish
cries. In the latter the State still retains a
supremacy that, practically, it has never
lost. Virginia, the next in rank, is nearly
thirty per cent. in the rear. Washington,
the home of the salmon, comes up strongly;
but yields third place to New York.
Speaking of Florida serves to remind one
that the Everglade State has at least two
little points of pride in the matter of rank.
One might be the total acreage of swamp
and overflow lands, in which it surpasses all
others; but the important two are in the
outputs of turpentine and rosin, in VIII CHI
Florida leaves all other States completely in
the shade
As one might expect, the largest acreage
of farms, owned and in use, is in the State
with the largest square mileage; but it is
rather surprising to know that this same
State, Texas, has the greatest area of inn
proved farms. In proportion of improved to
unimproved lands, however, Texas does not
lead. That honor is reserved for the busy and
thrifty State of Iowa, which also outranks
all its sisters in the amount of butter, chick
ems, and eggs it produces. Texas gets even
again Oii ilci i>otil SiSlCls by
more fowls other than chickens turkeys,
for example-than does any other common
wealth.
In dairy lines other than butter, New
York holds the. palm, producings;far and
away. the most milk and the most cheese.
Iowa is second in milk product; but Wis
'consinis second on cheese. The latter State
has been growing SO rapidly, in its cheese

ADJOURN THE
 NAMARA TRIAL
FIRST WEEK CLOSES WITHOUT A SINGLE JUROR BEING SEE.
 LEcTED TO TRY CASE.
Eight Hundred veniremen Drawn and An Equal Num3er of Witnesses
 Summoned.

Los Angeles, Cal. Oct. l4--Scurry for country clubs and beaches mark ed the end of the first week of the lMcNamara trial. When Judge Bora Iwell adjourned the case at noon un- til Monday, the big white hali oi trecords, in which the trial is being conducted, was depopulated quickly.
 James R. McNamara, on trial fol the murder of Charles ! Haggerty q victim of the Los Angeles Times explosion was taken back to his cell where during the afternoon he dis. cussed the situation with his brother John McNamara. also under indict- ment for murder.
 The brief week, interrupted by two
 holidays was sufficient to outline the tremendous struggle now begin ming. Those who at the beginning predicted a three months trial, Heightened this to six months and that nine months or more may have elapsed before the trials of the broth. CTS are completed. seemed the gen leral opinion. A month in which to obtain a jury was held a moderate Iestimate.
 Whether the 800 or more veniremen remained were sufficient to supply a jury was discussed with the point in view that the trial eventually might be pushed out of Los Angeles county for lack of jurors.
 External proceedings. however, was held of minor importance, com pared with the declaration in court from the defense that the case would be regarded not alone as the trial |of single man, but as struggle in which organized labor woull play Ia leading part. That and the de- fense that the Times was blown up, not by dynamite but by gas, seemed to comprise the position of the de fense, although the burden on the state of showing that James McNam- ara was in Los Angeles, or at any place where he could have been re sponsible for Haggerty's death, wi l be strongly insisted upon.
 Perhaps 800 witnesses. all told, are being held in readiness according to estimates of counsel. With the ex- lception of Ortie E. McManigal, leading witness for the state. now in the county jail. none is in Los Ange- les so far as Is known.
 Today was expected to see the fin ish of arguments over the admissi- bility as juror of z. T. Nelson, who was challenged by the defense for bias, but at the close of the court lit was announced that Attorney Jos eph Scott of Los Angeles had few words to say in behalf of the de- fense.
 We will hear Mr. Scott afonday morning. said Julge Bordwell, cheerfnly.
