History in the Making

ment for the recultivation of aban-
doned eastern farms and the adop-
ton of system of intense culture.
To what extent it will be found prof
liable to cultivate those lands in face
of the greater productivity of west
ern soils remains to be seen, but it
represents an interesting attempt to
check the tide of emigration to the
west. New York papers are devoting
considerable space to the movement,
yet in the glowing accounts as to
what can be obtained from eastern
as against western lands, it looks as
though the real estate agent has
been playing the role of an agricul-
tural statistician. Figures are given
to prove that western land costs
enormously more than eastern, and
some of the writer's even go so far
as to say richer fruit yields can be
obtained from soil nearer to the At
lantic than the Pacific.

Telephone Exchange in Ocean.

Platte Fougere lighthouse, on a
rock lying about a mile and a,quar-
ter to the northeast of Guernsey,
Channel islands, claims the record of
having the first ocean telephone sta
tion. The lighthouse, which has no
keeper, is fitted with a powerful fog
signal, worked from the shore by
means of submarine cable. In a
fog ships creep up guided by the
foghorn, and drop anchor near the
lighthouse until the fog lifts suffi-
ciently to enable them to take the
narrow channel to the harbors of
Guernsey. In such case any pilot or
ships officer, by climbing the light
house, can ring up Guernsey tele-
phone exchange and report his ship
The telephone is reached by climb
ing a 42-rung ladder to a platform
outside the lighthouse doors. Before
he can leave the ladder the pilot
pushes open trapdoor which covers
the manhole in the platform. The
arrangement is such that the pilot
cannot open the lighthouse door to
reach the telephone until he has shut
down the trapdoor over the manhole.
The act of opening the outer light
house door connects the telephone
fitted outside the inner door, which
is kept locked. Only one wire in the
cable is available for the telephone,
and even this wire is required for
other purposes, and closing the door
after using the telephone connects up
several telltale devices. The light
house door cannot be left open by
forgetfulness, because the pilot must
close it before he is able to lift the
trapdoor to reach the ladder.

Undoubtedly there are some things

BILE of feeling shame. Aren't you
curious to know what their limit of
endurance is?
When Charles e. Hughes, the
abiest public man they have had in
our time, was spending his last ounce
to free the strangling clutch of priv
ilege so that the state might breathe;
when, time after time, he led sortie
and asked for volunteers, don't you

sponded-how the mass of the citi-
zenship remained dull, apathetic,
seemingly as If they didn't care?

blame, for they but follow the bent
of their several natures.
The blame, friends and brethren
rests squarely on the broad shoulders
of Mr.. Snug, middle class New York
citizen, in town or country; he who
continues to shut his eyes to facts

THE LAWFUL MONEY" BUGA-
BOO.

One of the silliest bobtail scares
over the banking and currency legis-
lation raises the question of the
maintenance of the gold standard.
One of those New York papers,
which are apparently concerned over
New York's future as the country's
stock gambling center, has broken
out with a bitter dislike of "lwaful
money" 1t insists that if. the pro-
posed law should permit bank re-
serves for the redemption Of the fed
eral reserve notes to include both
gold and lawful money, the gold
standard of value in this country
would be in danger OF overthrow.
Only gold for the redemption of
these notes-such is the sine qua
non of the nations monetary stabil-
ity, it is now asserted.
That this cry is an insincere at
tempt to prejudice business Interests
against the pending legislation be-
cause it does not satisfy in all re-
spects Wall street and the banks that
furnish funds for stock gambling is
clear enough at first sight The
notes of the national reserve asso-
citation" which the Aldrich bill
would have established were to be
redeemed in the lawful money" OF
the United States; and the legal re-
serves held to secure those notes
were to include gold or Lawful
money. 1t is very singular that
those now protesting against Lawful
money" for reserve and redemption
purposes were warm advocates of the

THEN BAKER STRUCK OUT.

The mighty Baker swung his bat
and knocked home rum a home
run which made him once more fam
GUS. Then, next day, at a critical
time, with two on bases, he-struck
out.
Home runs are thrilling, but few
and far between. A batting average
is better. In the long run it wins
more games.
Does your ambition run toward
smashing home runs? They're fine
when you can make them. But
don't despise the singles. Success in
life depends on singles. The ability
to deliver a modest rap time after
time, missing seldom, is the kind OF
ability which makes the procession
keep on moving
Team play, team play, not the
glory of individual achievement, with
its corresponding hazard of strikinl
out, is what wins ball games, battles
any form of success in which mel
have to work together.
Team play and not too much EN-
phasis upon the error column.

Those who are hunting the high
cost of living, or rather those who
are after the cause of the high cost
of living, are coming to the conclu-
sion that our complex system of dis
tribution is at the root of the evil.
Communities that are suffering from
overproduction of certain articles
and communities that are suffering
for want of the same article often
lie close together. All they need is
some means of communication. All
they need is to have their respective
needs known. Now everything has
to go to the big cities. 1t sometimes
occurs that food products raised in
one town go to large city and then
are sent back to the next village to
be sold to consumers. And while
these food products are in the cities,
they are handled by two or three
classes of middlemen, each of which
takes out big percentage of profits.
The whole system is wrong; it is con-
structed to aid middlemen, who have
nothing to do with production except
to make living off of it. The pro-
ducer and the consumer would do
we'll to get better acquainted. They
are friends; often they are neigh
bors.

Revival of Farming in East.

Without entering into the ultimate
causes of prices, it is instructive to
note that among the many devices
adopted for overcoming the increased
cost of living is movement on the
part of the New York Central Rail

of farms intended to demonstrate the
capacity of the soil of New York
state for the raising of food prod
ucts. 1t is part of a general move

Avoid sedative Cough Medicines

If you want to contribute directly
to the occurrence of capillary bron-
chitis and pneumonia, use cough
medicines that contain codine, NOR
phine, heroin and other sedatives
when you have cough or cold. An
expectorant like Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy is what is needed.
That cleans out the culture beds or
breeding places for the germs of
pneumonia and other germ diseases.
That is why pneumonia never results
from a cold when Cham berlain's S
Cough Remedy is used. 1t has a
worldwide reputation for it's cures.
1t contains no morphine or other
sedative. For sale by all dealers.
