Now in my advanced age, the sub
iect have been discussing recalls mem

! life.
In our great civil war, to my mind
lit is a grave matter of doubt II our
armies could have penetrated and over
run that great territory comprising
eleven states and conquered, II the
men of our armies had been like the
men Of the confederate armies. The
south with it's slaves as the laboring
class, had laid its eggs in one nest,
agriculture. This is what gave the
democratic party it's policy Of free
trade. The confederate soldier could
burn bridges, tear up railroads, impair
but could not reconstruct
them. There were practically no me-
chanics among them.
On the contrary the union boys could
reconstruct anything. They could re-
build the railroads, repair its engines
and run them: they could meet and
overcome all such distractions.
Pardon just an illustration here, in
ivoIving my own experience. The mis-
fortune befell me of being in con-
federate prison in Texas. The number
of prisoners had run up to four or five
thousand. The prison was built in
the woods and we had to have wood to
cook the corn meal and beef from
those long horned Texas steers they
gave us for rations. There was only
one CT two axes in the camp and no
more to be had There was not an
axe to be bought in the state. The
federal government had possession Of
the Mississippi river and our war yes
sells guarded the gulf coast and foreign
importation was shut out.
It became a question If we would

YOUR GRAND DAD HAD SOME
excuse for neglecting land oppor-
tunities, because Is or 100 years
ago the "unearned increment"
came slowly and there was SEEM
ingly an endless amount Of land to
be had. In this generation we find
men kicking themselves land they
ought to- because they did not buy
ten years ago and now be enjoying
double and treble returns on the
Investment.
THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
could not trumpet forth and en-
blazon more plainly to the thinking
man the fact that when any agri-
cultural land in this county Is
worth $500 to $1,000 per acre, then
any other good farm land that can
be bought for SO to $35 per acre
Is great opportunity.
A HUNDRED YEARS may have
been required to double land values
in the age when men fought for
land with lance and sword; but in
these times, when peace reigns
practically throughout the world, 1t
has taken less than ten years, as
is shown by the census statistics.
Since the multitude went from
Egypt to the promised land several
thousand years ago. land history
has been repeating itself.
As SURELY as the price of land
in the U. s. has doubled in the last
ten years, just so surely will $40 to
$35 land in the Swigart Tract at
least double in value in the next
ten years. It ought to do far bet
ter. Much of this land Is now
selling at SIT per acre and Is ridi-
culously under priced, and l be-
lieve will sell for $3.50 per acre in
the year 1920 You can see it right
now producing staple crops OF as
much money value per acre as the
average $3.50 land in Illinois.
THERE'S A CLAIM ON YOU, Mr..
Investor, Mr.. Home Seeker, Mr..
Farmer, Mr.. Fruit Grower in this
tract, because it has things you
want. 1t has things you need.
Plants take their food. 1000 parts
Of water to one Of dry matter. A
pound loaf Of bread takes two tons
of water from the time Of planting
the wheat. A ton of hay pumps
500 tons of water through the soil.
You want pure water and plenty OF
It. This land has it. Good mar
kets. short hauls. good transporta-
ton are things you want. This
tract is worth more because it is
only ITO miles from Chicago and is
nearer Grand Rapids, Milwaukee
and Detroit. It has four railroads,
several steamship lines and no 40
acres more than five miles from a
shipping point, and 10000 people to
buy it's products in Ludington and
Manistee, cities located on the edge
of the tract.

DIRECT
SERVICE TO
UPTOWN N.
Pennsy Expected to Put or
Through Trains from Park
Place Soon.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
II is said, is planning to run trains .di-
rect from the Park place terminal to
its uptown station In New York in a
very snort time. without making any
stop at the Manhattan transfer.
The traffic on the rapid transit line
10 Cortlandt street terminal in New
York has grown to such proportions
that the management is afraid that
when the Summit avenue station In
Jersey City is opened shortly traffic
will be increased so that 1t will be
hard to handle additional trains, from
Newark. as contemplated.
It was the intention Of the manage
ment to run trains on week days every
ten minutes from the Park place ter
minal to Cortlandt street, but that plan
will be abandoned, and the best serv-
ice will not be better than every
twenty minutes on that line.
1t has beer found that ten-minute
trains can be maintained by running
through trains to the uptown terminal,
as the traffic from Newark to that ter
mlnai warrants the success of the
scheme.
The details of the new plan are now
being worked out by the officials, and
it is expected that the new service will
be shortly put int operation.

OBJECTED TO EULOGIZING
CONFEDERATE GENERALS.
Lively Argument Is Narrowly
Ayerted at Club Meeting.

F. Exception to the eulogy of two Con-

taking up the fight for the South was
taken at the monthly dinner of the

Them was the address by Rev. DR.

Johns Church, Elizabeth.
The speaker described the attributes
of Generals Robert Il. Lee and Stone
WALL jackson, and in concluding said
that no one could doubt the honesty
of their motives in rallying to the
support of their State, Virginia.
AS DR.. Glazebrook finished, Harrison
Van Duyne jumped to his feet and
passlonately exclaimed, Lincoln said
This Union cannot exist a slave and
half free and these men. who have
been so extolled, did not have this
conception. No matter what Is said
the fact remains that the C~onfederacy
was founded with slavery as its cor
ner-stone. Nothing hat could be saic
could take away the truth that thess
men fought for slavery
The members were speechless. Rev
DR.. Robert Scott Inglis calmly said
THE first speaker OF the evening has
prepared the way for what the secon
speaker asserted. He said 1t was sim
ply a conception of the issue between
States rights and the rights of the
people,"
This served to relieve the strain ano
the members applauded. DR.. Inglis
later denied that his remarks were in
tended as a rebuke.
