TRAGEDIES OF POLAR
QUESTS.

In 1s45 Sir John Franklin sailed
to the Arctic with two ships. None
of the party was ever seen alive
again by civilized man. Many ex-
petitions failed to find trace OF
the missing explorer and his men
until 1850, when Captain McClin-
took brought back the record Of Sir
Johns death in 1s47, with relics
indicating that the entire party
had persisted in King Williams
Land. In 1870 the bodies were
found by Lieutenant Schwatka.
In 1881 Lieutenant George w.
belong and Lieutenant Charles w.
Cripp, United States Navy. and
more than half the members Of the
jeanette expedition persisted in an
attempt to reach the Siberian coast
after their ship was crushed by
ice.
In 1884 Lieutenant James ].
Lockwood and 10 members Of the
Greeley expedition died of starva-
ton near Cape Sabine. The others
of the party we're rescued by Cap
tain w. s. Schley, who afterward
became rear admiral.
In 1897 Lieutenant s. A. Andre
left Spitzbergen in balloon, with
the intention of drifting over the
polar regions. Two days later
carrier pigeon brought back a mes
sage, but no other word from Andre
has ever reached the world.
In 1907 DR.. Myths Erichsen and
two companions died off the north
east coast of Greenland.
The Scott Tragedy is the only
disaster in the history of Antarctic
exploration, so far as is known.

connecting.
If you wish to make a number of
calls in succession it takes almost as
long to get the former connection
severed as it takes to get the party
you are calling. Anyone who has used
an automatic telephone, on the other
hand, knows that he can get his party
on the average call more quickly than,
he can get away from the connection
on the manual telephone.
There seems to be no hope if we
continue the use of the manual sys-
TEN, such as adhered to by the Bell
Company, of getting either better or
cheaper service, for if they reduce the
rate of the nickel phones the traffic
will increase about two calls per
phone per day for each cent Of de-
crease in the rate, and with such an
increase in the calls the traffic would
become too heavy to handle, so the
service would become worse than at
present.
+ At two cents per call even, assum-
ing that the calls remained what they
are now (about 100000 a day in
Chicago), the yearly income of the
company would be $12,000,00O from
the traffic alone, which Is much more
than their present gross income.

BY Harold D. Stroud.
The best evidence that something
must be done about our telephone
service is shown by the telephone
company's own traffic records that
supply indisputable evidence on sew
eral points. Note the following:
Average calls per phone per day
1900, 13 $40.
Average calls per phone per day
1902, II 4-10.
Average calls per phone per day
1904, 9 2-10.
Average calls per phone per day
1911, 5 CLIO.
Average calls per phone per day
1913, 5 4-10.
At this rate of decrease what can
we expect to get in 1920? New York
helps us to answer that question.
The average calls per telephone per
day in New York now are 4 Clio.
We can figure that for each 10000
nickel telephones installed the vol
ume of calls per telephone through
out the system will decrease about
one call per day.
New York has more measured
service than Chicago and about 100,-
900 more phones. We see also that
the average number of calls per
phone per day in New York is about
one less than in Chicago at present,
though if the unlimited telephone
contracts are cancelled the Chicago
average will drop to nearly four calls
per telephone, and with the further
Introduction of nickel service will be
down to two calls per day or possibly
less by 1920. In fact if the decrease
that we have experienced in the past
nine years was carried out for the
next seven years we would have the
right to predict less than one call.
The reason for this decrease is due
to the high call charge of five cents,
which makes people deny themselves
the use of telephone service and keep

The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1913-06-05

No man who is without experience
as fcrmer could possibly make a
success of farming as business from
the beginning; but if man is stu
dent and is willing to undergo some
privation at the beginning there is
chance for him to succeed if he has
The necessary capital
Much will depend upon the amount
Of risk the farmer is willing to take.
Generally speaking, where land prices
are normal, a full equipment just
about equals the full value of the
land. One can usually get hold of
piece of land by paying about one
fourth of the purchase price in cash
and giving his notes for the balance
on the land for security. Hence,
speaking in a general way, the amount
of capital required as a minimum for
a fully equipped farm would be about
one and fourth times the cost price
of the land. This would involve going
in debt an amount equal to about
three-fourths the cost of the land. In
these figures / am assuming that land
for trucking and fruit growing will
cost 800 an acre, land for dairying
$50, and for hay growing 500 per acre.
The differences in the price of land
here assumed for the different types
of farming will be considered in the
article dealing with the best location
for the beginner
In the irrigated regions Of the west,
generally speaking, more capital is re-
quired for beginning than elsewhere
on account of the high cost of the
land, but where there is plenty Of
irrigation water available the yields
to be obtained can generally be ma lie
to compensate for the higher land
values.
The farmer whose family is able to
do all the labor on the farm can begin
with less capital than the individual
who must hire a large part of his
labor. Again, something depends up
on the character of the land itself. II
the soil is new and rich there will
be little or no expense for fertilization
at the beginning, and an important
item of expense is thus saved; but If
the land has been farmed for many
years and is in a condition that re-
uuires immediate fertilization in order
to secure profitable yields, consider
able investment must be made in fer
tilizers or manure before crops can
be obtained. Some men have started in
to farming with practically no capital.
