where the New York Central collides
with the New York, New Haven and
Hartford 1t was originally located on
Manhattan Island but has spread all
over the surrounding country, like a
bad case of erysipelas and all hope Of
controlling it has been abandoned.
New York City is composed of 1907
coo people who are SO rich that they
can't spend all Of their money in any
other place, and 100000 people who
are so poor that they can't scrape up
car fare to get away. 1t was founded
by the Dutch in 1920 and was captur.
ted by the Irish who still run it. New
York was originally purchased from
the Indians for s24 but prices have
risen so that you can hardly rent q

MARKETING FARM PRODUCTS.

B. F. Yoakum of the Rock Island
road, in recent address before the
Farmers Congress at Dallas, again
pointed out the unsatisfactory condf-
lions that still rule all over the coun-
try in regard TO the marketing OF
farm produce Industrial exports, he
said, We're increasing over agricultur-
al exports, at the rate of seven to
one. The reason is that factory prod
ucts are marketed in more bust
nessiike way than farm products,
This state of things is due TO our
long neglect of the business side Of
farming. AS to what may be done and
ought TO be done, Mr. Yoakum cites
Denmark favorite illustration in
these days. Thirty years ago the Dan
ish farmers received but s12,000,000
annually for their butter, eggs and
bacon Today these same products
bring in $1O0,o0o.o00. They are now
marketed through cooperative socie
| ties. The same methods, it is contend
ed, must be adopted in the United
States. The neighborhood market
house will become as important an(
popular. Finally, in Mr. Yoakum'
i opinion, the government itself shoult
help find way for better farm mar
| keting. He calls for a market bureau
in the department of agriculture
which shall Systematically trace tn,
movement Of all farm products to tn,

TYPICAL AMERICAN.

From what the Washington Post
SAYS about him the engineer at the
head Of the Panama canal project
must he another Hugh l.. Cooper. He
is not the kind of man VINO talks
about what he is going to do. he
does not make glowing promises TOT
the future. He doesn't run about
the country representing himself as
the salvation of the nation or the
fountain head of all virtue. He Just
gives to his country the best tnat is
in him, giving sixty minutes OF WORK
for every hour run. He Is a pam
American. and his name is Goethals.
| The Post continues:
Since Colone; Goethals took charge
of the construction OF the Pana-
anna canal the work mas moved
steadily onward. There have been
no bitches, no scandals, no waste, no
delays. The workmen have been IN
spired with the idea that they are
doing as much service for their coun-
| try as if they were actually engaged
on the field of battle They have
worked for Goethals as they would
work for no other man. For Goethais
himself has worked like one INSPIRED,
and has dedicated himself to the COM
pletion of the canal that will link the
Pacific to the Atlantic, making new
route for the commerce OF the world.
There have been no engineering
or administrative difficulties too great
for Goethals to surmount. He mas
never heralded what he was going TO
| do. There was, for instance, no talk
of concrete gun" which would
solve one Of the great difficulties OIL
the gigantic task on which ne is en-
gagged. Had such gun been discoy-
cred by a man of the type so We'll
known to chautauqua audiences, there
would have been a great blast about
it, and then probably it would never
have been heard of again.
Goethals, however, said nothing
about the gun until he had
it actually working, and then merely
reported the fact as one of the ordi-
nary features of his work. The gun
shoots continuous charge OF cement
against the rocky sides of Culebra
cut, thereby charging soft stone,
subject to erosion in the tropical eli
mate, to one that Is hard and free
from erosion as granite.
i The concrete gun" will aid In the
success that has attended Goethais
work on the canal 1t Is, however, but
another instance of the way this hard
working, modest and capable Ameri
can has directed all his energy to the
work assigned to him, doing what hi
has to do so well that he has no time
for the boastful promises that have
J become the evil of the age.

A bill to provide old age pensions
has been introduced in congress by
Victor L. Berger of Wisconsin, social
ist. who calls it partial restitution or
old folks compensation. Four dol
lars week is to be the basic figure
and sixty years the age limit. There
are about 100000 persons entitled to
the pension SO far as the age goes,
but only persons without an income
can receive the pension. 1t is esti-
mated that 3,675,0oo persons will be
entitled to a pension. The country
would do we'll to go slow in estab
fishing civil pension list. There
are enough demagogues seeking Of
| fee to make the experiment exceed
ingly hazardous.

The schools are In ses ion again
and mornings, moons and late after
moons the streets are filled with ronp-
ing, rollicking children wholly free
from care on any account No one
should begrudge them their jollity.
Too soon they will be called upon to
take up the burdens and cares Of life
let them enjoy themselves while they
can The thought is finely expressed
in that old jingle song of other school
days.
oh, boy is boy and boy let him
be,
For the season of boyhood's span
And the heart that now leaps in its
JOY and its glee,
Soon will ache with the cares OF

The question has been propounded:
Shall children be taught how to
save or how to spend money? A
York state paper thus disposes of the
inquiry:
Well, If they do not learn how to
spend intelligently they will never
have much to save, and if they do not
know how to save they will never
have much to spend. And there you
are with another endless chain argu-
ment.

And urge you to strive toward it

an extensive voyage to some distant
place where other persons made the
visit dull by being all uniformly en-
gagged in the similar pursuit Of spend
ing time off abroad. The spirit Of all
these places is so monotonously the
same, so everlastingly pseudo-festive,
that the true purpose of vacation is
negatived before conception.
On the other hand, In the city, where
there are all about you the myria
workers, each bent on his fixed hours
and tasks, the vacation is period OF
contrasts. You loll through the weeks
in the very core of the activity with
which you are ordinarily associated.
You rub elbows-and crook them
with the men at whose sides you are
generally struggling. You watch
them froth with sense Of removal,
Of being set apart and disinterested.
You become, in day or two. accli-
mated to the role of observer, and
in this guise you make pilgrimages
and visit shrines at your very door
which in other periods would have re-
NAMED always closed and foreign.
