THE Camorrists in Their huge cage

there was something ridiculous about

The speaker was Professor Edward

he objected stoutly to this. The night

coat he would freeze.
Then one of the Camorrists drew
of his own filthy, ragged overcoat and
made my assistant put II on.
There you are, said the scoundrel.
You won't freeze now

the contingency of increase or dimin-
ution of the flow in the channel OF the
stream, because the upper owner has
the right to all the advantages OF
drainage, or irrigation reasonably
used which the stream may afford to
him as riparian proprietor. But that
is an entirely different thing from
draining the water standing on the
land of one owner through artificial
channels upon the land of another
owner. This cannot lawfully be done
without his consent. Whenever it is
done without his consent he may re-
cover damages by law, and where the

On Spending and Wasting.

Some wise professors in the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin have just issued a
bulletin calling attention to the fact
that of the Sl0,000,0 100000 spent an
nually for the neccssaries of life in this
country women handle 90 per cent, and
do it so badly that there is an enor-
nous waste. Hence, it is argued,
women should be trained in household
economics before being permitted to
become treasurer and purveyor of the
household,
1t would he interesting to know
where those learned pundits got their
facts. 1t is true women spend most of
the money, but how do the professors
know that they are so wasteful? Our
idea has been just TO the contrary.
A woman is much better at making
bargains than is man,-Philadelphia
Inquirer,

For three decades Indiana has held
this distinction, and is likely to hold it
| for another, since it is seventy-hve
miles to the Western border, and the
center is not apt to move that far in
ten years.
In 1870 the center was twenty-tbree
miles east of Baltimore. In the fol-
| lowing decade it moved forty-one miles
to point eighteen miles west of Bal
timore. Its next westward movement
was thirty-six miles to a point in 1910
which was forty miles northwest by
west of Washington, ID. C. Then fol-
lowod a jump of fifty miles to a point
in 1920 which was sixteen miles north
of Woodstock, Va A distance of thir-
ty-nine miles in 1890 brought it nine
teen miles west-soutI- Invest of Moore
field in what is now West Virginia. In
1S40 by a jump of ffty-five miles it
landed sixteen miles south of Clarks-
burg, in what is now West Virginia.
1t moved fifty-live miles again in the
following decade, but remained in the
same State, being in 1850 about twenty
three miles southeast of Parkersburg,
In 1850, by shift of eighty-one miles,
it entered Ohio at point twenty miles
south of Chillcothe. BY movement
of forty-two miles 1t came in 1870 with.
in forty-eight miles of Cincinnati, east
by north. BY leap of ffty-eight miles
it landed eight miles west of Cincin-
natl in 1880. The next westward move
ment was forty-eight miles, point
twenty miles east of Columbus, Ind,
in 1890. The close of the century, 1900
found it six miles southeast of Column
bus, Ind, having moved but fourteen
miles since 1890.
With every recurring census there
is great deal of speculation as to the
shifting center of population. 1t is in
teresting TO note the various changes
in its progress TO the West. The
Western country is growing fast, but
the older States of the East are hold
ing their own pretty well and the
growth of the big Eastern cities pre-
vents any sensational jumps of the cen
ter Of population.-EX

THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1911.

Figures compiled at Washington
show that the value OF farm land,
buildings, machinery and implements
increased from seventeen thousand
million dollars in 1900 to thirty.fve
thousand million dollars in 1910 The
figures show that the number OF farms
increased in this period from 8, 1877 ,312
to $40, 100 and the acreage from $780,
COZ, 900 to 1913, 100000. There has not
been large increase in acreage, but
an immense advance in values. Where
as the advance of agriculture westward
formerly brought immense new areas
under cultivation every decade, there
is now little wild land' left, and with
a population and its demands upon the
soil rapidly increasing land values take
an upward shoot. The increased value
per acre is surprising. The average in
1900 was $3.50. The average in 1910
was $3.50. In other words the aver
age land owner who has held his land
during this period has grown twice as
we'll off as he was.
There has been an increase n the
value of farm buildings that reflects
the prosperity of the farmer. Farm
buildings are valued at nearly double
their value in 1900. This shows re-
markable building activity, and an in
vestment of surplus earnings in an inn
provement of comfort and convenience.
The outlook is for al equally mater
ial advance within the next ten years.
The growing density of population has
brought the country to the point at
which the increased efficiency of the
acre must be sought to offset the lack
of new tillable areas, and where the
farmer must learn methods by which
he can make profit on land that costs
two or three times what his father
paid for equally productive soil. He
must also conduct his business In a
businesslike manner and make profits
that admit of his having more of the
comforts and luxures than were form
erly considered essential on the farm.
But despite high land values his call
ing remains one of the safest in which
to invest capital and intelligently dir.
ected energies. The future may see
DeriodS of sta pnation in the mark of for
tillable soil, but land values will not
decrease in country that is growing
as rapidly as the United States, and
where there is no longer great area
OF "wiid" arabic land upon which set
tiers may find homes without making
purchases.

"a sentence Of ninety days in house
of correction for drunkenness is
rather stiff sentence, but the Chicago
court that fixed it had ample provoca-
ton. The man was Il chauller and
drove his car while drunk. OF course
he drove it without any especial regard
for the speed limit, as persons who are
drunk usually do. The Chicago Record
Herald persistently observes that a
touring car driven by "plain drunk"
is "as dangerous as an express train
similarly driven, or more So" The
train will at least stay on the track,
and persons who wish TO save their
lives can keep of the track. The
automobile with plain drunk at
the steering wheel is quite likely to
run an erratic course, and it is difficult
to get out Of the track of car driven
fifty miles an hour by a man who cares
very little about where it goes or
whom it strikes.

Fines do not cure the habit Of low

Chauffeurs' fines are often paid by
