Mr.. Oldroyd, who was seyenty-one

Valley Forge was the most interest

Oldroyd said. There" he continued,
the state of Pennsylvania has laid out
some 500 acres of ground over which
the revolutionary armies fought and
camped. and all along the line there
the generals of the Continental army
spent the night or had their head
quarters from time to time. One seemed
to be in intimate association with La

revolutionary heroes Owing to the
common use of the automobile the roads
have been macadamized and arc in

state, city and county organizations
and societies are preserving the his
toric old places. Everything is being
marked and taken care of. The Penn

Revolution has aided in this, and they
have stone two and half miles out

Astounding as this prodigious total
may be, it tells only half the story,
and my purpose in citing these fig
ures is to call attention to what be-
lieve to be a still more serious men
ace. refer to the yearly income
which those fortunes produce. In
other words, the money is steadily
drawing interest for its wealthy own

The interest on $4,000, 900, 900 at 5
per. cent is $3.50, 900 a year. Think
what that meansi -.
Why are the rich growing richer?
In one sense, because they can't help
it. While they eat, while they sleep,
while they work or play, their for
tunes grow with every tick of the
clock. Therefore the unequal dis
tribution of wealth." which we hear
SO much about, is really of less i'm
portance than the unequal distribu-

disturbing, vital question of the day;
