A USTIN, Tex, July 1s.-In the days
"A when Populism was rampant in
1 n Texas it used to be said that the
stump orators of that political faith
handled figures with, amazing reck-
1essness. On one occasion Cyclone
Davis met the late congressman Dave
Culberson in joint debate Mr.. Davis
was making an impassiOned attack
upon the extravaganza of congress and
told his audience that the particular
session under review had expended so
many billion" dollars of the peoples
money for such and such purpose.
Hold on there. Mr.. Davist' inter-
rupted Mr. CulbersOn, arising from his
seat on the platform. You have got
those figures wrong. Il was that many
million and not billion dollars that
we appropriated"
This correction did not phase the ir-
repressible Davis. Turning to the au
dience of farmers, he waved mis- arms
and yelled:
Now, listen to me, fellow citizens!
You heard what Mr.. Culberson, the
representative of the plutOcracy of this
country, said. 1 said billions and I
meant billions. I here and now chal-
lenge Mr.. CulbersOn to tell this crowd

Dress, or cOnductOrine, is soon to ap-

for an enormous bus system which will
even Outrival that of London. Indeed
Manhattan island will be girdled with
motor bus lines If the Board of esti-
mate grants the franchise for some 40
routes for which applications are now
pending. On some of the lines, which
will charge a fare of only five cents,
it is already proposed to establish
feminine conductors with more to fol-
low if the experiment proves success
full.
The 40 routes cover practically every
district from the Battery to Harlem.
Many of them overlap, and for the
more profitable streets there is spir-
tied competition.
Married Men Superior.

an individual or corporation may
lease up to 1924 acres TO run for %
years, with the right of renewal for
an equal term. The rental during the
first term may be not less than ten
cents an acre per year. and during the
last twenty-five years not more than
80 cents per acre per year. There
are extensive areas of unclaimed gov
eminent land suitable for cocohuts.
Expenses and profits.
As for the profits, ! have a state
ment of the approximate cost of es-
tablishing q 2500-acTe coconut planta-
tion and the revenues TO be derived
from it. 1t is shown by this state
ment, originally drawn by d. {. Wor-
cester, secretary of the interior of
the Philippines. that the cost the first
year for such a plantation on coral
island is S26,627.25, while on ordinary
forest land 1t amounts to $39 ,302.25.
These figures include rental and
launch, etc. The expenses for the
second year are given as $4,000. so,
on ordinary forest land and S24, S32. so
on coral island year. From these
sums should be deducted the receipts
from the sale of catch crops and from
the sale of timber and firewood.
In the third year the costs are esti-
mated at $16,807.50 on the forest land
and sl0,55T.50 on the other. In the
fourth year the expense will be about
$16.957.50 on forest land, or $l0.707. 80
on the coral plantation. After this
year the catch crops will be of no
importance. The costs during The
fifth year will be $21, $3.50 for for
est, $15.6S7.50 for the coral land On
some of the favorable land nuts will
be harvested during this yea-,
The expenses during the sixth year
will be s17 $3.50. on the forest land.
s11.5S5.50 on the other. During this
year a crop of 80 nuts per tree should
be harvested. This means thai a
crop valued at $500 should be had
The seventh year, during which a
full crop OF 2,750,000 nuts may be es-
timated for 1850 acres and a half
crop Of 1,SS0,000 nuts from the re-
manning acreage under cultivation, the
entire crop being of value of about
S1O3,500. the expenses should be $1S,.
$3.50 for the ordinary land, and ST..
1850. for the coral.
In the eighth year the expenses are
estimated at $1S,035.50, on the coral
island property $11,7S5.50. During
this year and thereafter a full crop
of nuts should be harvested from the
entire $500 acres, amounting to g..
$4,000 nuts. the equivalent of 27,600
