How 10 This for ReaIlsm2

Certain rice fields in Japan were
at one time devastated by some un
known horse which could not be track

wait; the horse appeared but eluded
its pursuers. After patiently WAITING
for several nights they succeeded In
following and saw him disappear
through a temple door. The pursuers
entered but could not find the horse;
finally he appeared on the wall in a
celebrated picture all foaming and
still painting fiom pursuit. The far
mers were at a loss to know what to
do. Thereupon they consulted certain
wise men In the district, who, not
wishing to destroy the picture, finally

him more than any other one man

OF the country has been SO retarded
that few of them have been completed
and none of them are believed to be
paying. Most of those that are in
operation at all run for only part
OF the year. The consequence is that
the travel and freighting In Alaska to-
day is in almost as primitive a state
as 1t was during the Russian occupa-
ton. Men pack goods and supplies for
days upon their backs to reach point
after point which should be connected
by busy railroads; pack trains of
horses and dog sleds are used, boats
OF various kinds and sizes and even
OK teams are employed to carry pro-
visions throughout the great territory.
The freight rates are of course tre-
mendous. and the cost of even the ne
cessities of life is SO great as to ap-
pear fabulous to the people of the
United States. The consequence is
that the price of labor is terrific and
only the richest mining properties can
be worked Deposits of gold. silver,
copper and other minerals are plenti
ful. besides great areas underlain with
fine coal Many of these deposits
would be considered of great richness
in the United States, but in Alaska,
because of the enormous cost incident
to their development. they lie idle;
idle they will remain until transporta-
tion, the real key to the situation, is
provided. All depends primarily on
the construction of railroads. Will the
railroads be built? This is the ques-

Florida has assets-for example,

Formerly that was considered deficit.
But the states project to reclaim the
Everglades by joint draining and irri-
cation is nearing completion. And if
Florida s midwinter sunshine were put

have to be expressed by such figures
as astronomers use in stating the dis

Mayor Dan o. Head has called on
all Of the people of the city to aid
him in his effort to get better lights
for the streets of the city and to this
end he has asked that people who may
happen to discover street lamps which
fail to burn, to give notice of such
facts to the police at the earliest pos
sible time. Every night there are
many lights in the city which fail to
burn for possibly an hour OF two hours
and many Of these lights are not dis
covered by the police officers on their
beats. People living in the neighbor-
hood nearly all have telephones and it
will be an easy matter for them to
call up the police department and give
notice that light is not burning. The
beats which must be covered by the
police officers are long and sometimes
it is late in the night lefore they
cover the entire beat and for this rea-
son the city is forced to pay for con-
siderable light which it does not get.
If the people will take as great an
interest in this work as the officials
have taken nearly all Of these lights
will be checked up each night and
there will be a decided saving to the
city on it's street lighting bill. Since
the light committee of the council has
begun to make systematic checking
up of the lights out there has been a
big jump in claims for outage, but the
members of the committee are con-
WINGED that they are not getting all
the outage due even at this time.
In connection with this new move to
secure better checking up on outage
the city is planning to add to the evil
dence that it now has of insufficient
service. This evidence is to be pre-
scented to the state commission when
it comes to Kenosha to make it's in

Special Act of Legislature was Neces

P. Wallig has received from the state
treasurer a state order for 1927. 2S.
This was the amount which he over
paid the state in 1910 in making re-

Later it was found that this amount
of the fines had been paid over to in
formers in arrests made for violation
Of the gambling and game laws and a
demand for return of the amount was
made. Here was where the real red
tape came in and before the state
treasurer gave the money back the
state legislature passed a law giving
him the right to make the payment.
The law is duly engrossed as chapter
is of the laws of 1913 It probably
cost lot more to pass the law than
the amount of the claim.

Revival Meetings at Park
Ave. M. E. Church Draw
Very Large Audiences.
EVANGELIST REED IS FORCEFUL

The revival meetings at the Park
Ave. Methodist Church are drawing
large congregations. The meetings
commenced Sunday under the direction
of Rev. D. E. Reed and his daughter
Miss Sunshine Reed Of Albion, Mich.
A company of Racine people number
ing about twenty-five came down for
the service last night. The evangelist
recently closed campaign in Racine
in which scores of people were con
verified. Many of these spoke last
night of the good they had received
from the labors Of Mr.. Reed.
One of the most attractive features
of the services is the singing Of the
large chorus Of young men and women
under the leadership Of Miss Reed,
who has rich, full contralto voice.
The evening meetings commence at 1880
with a song service lasting half an
hour. People are at perfect liberty to
come into the meeting at any time
without fear of disturbing and at nine
clock those who wish to retire have
the same freedom.
There is an orderly progress of ex-
ercises throughout the service without
the constraint of formality, so that
people who are strange to the sur
roundings have a feeling of at-home-
ness. The evangelist breaches sim
pie, direct message enforcing the truth
with an abundance of illustrative ma
terial gathered from long experience in
the work of evangelism In the serv-
ices Of Sunday and last night his APP
peal has been to the church to become
more deeply interested IN the work Of
winning men and women and children
to the Christian life. His temper is
to win rather than to drive folks to
their duty. He does not scoId; he does
not complain, but presents the attrac.
tions of life of service which means
real joy and true satisfaction.
A children 5 meeting is held every
afternoon at 400 O'Clock. More than
one hundred children were present yes
terday. All school children are invit-
ed. The evening meetings viii be held
every evening this week except satur-
day and church people of all denomina-
tions are urged to feel free to join
with the Methodists in this campaign
for a moral and spiritual uplift for
