London Tit-Bits: Recently two ex-
traordinary cases Of very numerous
offspring in the same family were re-
corded in The English Press, and
these attracted great attention at the
time. One was that of Mr.. and Mrs.
Rogers of ChiWick, who a boast a
family Of no fewer than Twenty-Five
"little' ones, though these are by w
mothers the present Mrs. Rogers be-
ing the second wife of Mr.. Charles of
that ilk, who is a well known builder
in this district. The proud father,
aged "A, might have been seen carry.
ing his latest infant to it's baptism a
week or two ago, m Chiswick sup
porters did due honor to the occasion.
The other cases was that of T. A.
Slack of Purley, Surrey, who, curious
ly enough as a coincidence, can also
claim to be the father Of twenty-nine
children; and in this instance the
writer believes, too, that Mr.. Slack
can boast that these thirty, save
one" are still alive. Naturally there
have been the usual jokes astfr, who
got in the old Wheeze about SLACK by
name, but not by nature" although
the good-natured and popular man at
Purley takes everything in excellent
part, and remains naturally very proud
Of his numerous progeny.
Capital as these examples are a
showing that even in this age Of bish-
ops and judges who rail at the decay
ing birth rate, yet the nation is not
wholly going to the dogs in this mat
ter. the instances mentioned do not
form anything like a record" for our
country in this fashion. "
There was that stalwart Scot hailing
from CTnn1arfV Thomas e. T1pOJJhart
who not only knew himself as the
father of thirty-s children, but had
the supreme satisfaction of living to
see a large number Of them gain very
high positions and become quite emin-
ent. OF the thirty six, no fewer than
twenty-five were sons-quite an un-
usual proportion of the kind.

A Farmers 5000 income.

Farm and Fireside: About thirty
years ago M. N. Bear, a young man
just making his start, purchased a
160-acre farm near Pennington, Ill.,,
about midway between Peoria and
Galesburg. The price he paid for his
acres was $500. Today, reckoning
by the standards of recent sales in
the vicinity and the condition of the
farm, the same acres are estimated to
be worth close to 5000.
In part this advance is due to a gen
eral growth in land values, and in part
to improvements in equipment but in
a large it is due to a presist-
ent upward trend in the returns OBJ
tanned. H.. ".
While other farmers near and far
were following the old rule of buying
more land to grow more corn to raise
more hogs in order to buy more land
to grow more corn to raise more hogs,
and so on. Mr.. Bear was developing
for himself the theory that it was good
practice to extend ones acres down
ward. .... r@y'
After doing that, there would be
time enough to look after lateral ex-
tensions. The consequence is tina his
acres are more productive today than
they were when he bought them. more
| productive than they were ten years
ago, in spite Of the fact that from year
to year he has compelled them to
yield larger and larger returns, until
he has pushed his annual income up
close to the $4,000 mark.

is badly needed by the American cam,
and if he doesn't play, Americas
chances of winning will be materially
lessened. His usual position has been
at back, guarding the American goal
line, and it was at this post that his
work helped win the international polo
trophy in 1909. ...3
Previous to Milburn's appearance on
the polo horizon all players at back
contented themselves with guarding
the goal from attack. Milburn not
only is capable of caring for the de-
fensfve end of the game, but is famous
for a habit of leaving the goal UNI
guarded at the cruical moment and
dashing down the field to spur on the
American attack. This policy is a dan
gerous one and means the running of
big risks, but through using 1t Milburn
has turned many a defeat into victory.
If he isn't able to play in the first
match he will probably get in the
second.

The above dispatch from st. Paul.
shows Fargo fans that there is still a
chance for Fargo to get a team in the
Northern league. Grand Forks is get
ting some splendid advertising by
having u team in this league and Far
go is really the logical point for a
team.
The league is now or a paying basis
and is making money, and if Fargo
could work UP a little enthusiasm,
raise some money anil get the st. Paul
team transferred here, it would I'M
doubted)y be a paying venture from
the start.
The commercial club could well af-
ford to take hold of this matter. The

Boston, June 3.-W. Heinrich
Schmidt, the sensational young golfer,
who won the championship of Massa-
chusetts last year, did not surprise
those who knew him when he came
near beating Hilton, the English
champion, at st. Andrews tournament
in Scotland, but he surprised many
others. Most of all he surprised the
Scotch and English, who had never
heard of him.
This young mamie is only 90
worked his way through college and
then earned enough to give much time
to golf. When he made UP his mind to
go to the tournament at st. Andrews
he didn't know where the money was
coming from. But he saved till he had
enough for the trip.
This determination in the face of
financial obstacles is a part of the
character which makes him a great
player. Facing a gallery of 1000 in
Scotland, against the champion the
crowd wished to win, he showed the
same steady play and the nerve he had
exhibited at home.
Those who know him believe that he
will virtually be the champion of the
world. While they think there are
many who play as good there are none
near his age who show his ability.

CITY BONDS TO CITIZENS.

Kansas City Journal: st. Paul has
hit upon a plan for interesting the
people of that city directly in the ma
terial welfare Of the municipality by
the purchase Of Improvement bonds.
1t remained for the incentive to be
supplied through the medium of a bar
gain sale-possibly a rather undigni-
fed procedure, but his is a mere de-
tail that may be waived In view of the
greater Importance OF the fundamental
excellence of the idea itself. The main
point is that the people who buy the
bonds become bona fide bondholders
and personally interested in the for
tunes of the city. This is a point well
worth attaining, though ~singularly
enough it Is one which is rarely at
tempted. st. Paul Is declared to be
the only city in the world whose bonds
department store.
The chief feature of the sale is re-
ported to have been the large number
OF small investors, who bought 500
bonds. American cities have been so
prone to follow the American custom
of doing big things in a big way that
they have never proceeded on the the
DRY that some big things would better
be done in a small way. Probably not
one person In a thousand in Kansas
City ever saw a municipal bond. The
latter are usually issued in large de-
nominations, quite beyond the reach
of persons of moderate means. Yet
while the postal banks are welcoming
depositorS at 2 per cent and restricting
them to deposits of $500 in any one
month, and while savings banks are
securing the cities for the stray dollars
and paying 8 per cent, the city is pay
ing 4 and 5 per cen on municipal
bonds and charging from 6 to Is per
cent interest on Improvement tax bills
of various kinds.
There liz too wide q gap between the
people as taxpayers and the same peo-
pie as a municipality. In their individ-
ual capacity their acquaintance with
the financial authorities is confined for
the most part to t~axpaying. They
might become investors and would be-
come such Ii the proper effort We're
made. Certainly 1T Is better for an is
sue of $I,000,O00 of local bonds to be
sold to 1000 or 5000 citizens than to
half q dozen bond companies, chiefly
foreign. This lis a mere Illustration.
butt ennbodies the central principle OF
the Est. Paul idea,'' which seems to be
an excellent one, Ills not necessary
to have department store bargain sales
to carry it into effect. The details are
Of small concern in comparison with
the value Of the closer corporation
resulting from am intimate interest
In the community's material welfare.
Possibly such an opportunity would be
rejected at the first presentation by
the people OF this city, but the idea"
Id worth fair trial. The people are.
going to vote 81 1000, 900 OF school bonds
III q few days. Why not give them g
chance to tsu~nderwrite's them and get
the interest, Instead of merely voting
for them and paying interest?
