This morning, as l passed into the
land office. the Flag dropped me a
most cordial salutation, and from its
ripping folds l heard it say: GOOD
morning, Mr.. Flag Maker"
II beg your pardon, Old Glory"
said, aren't you mistaken? I am
not the president of the United States
nor member of congress, nor even
a general in the army. l am only q
government clerk"
Il greet you again, Mr.. Flag Max
err" replied the gay voice, Il know
you we'll. You are the man who
worked in the sweltering of yester-
day Strengthening out the tangle OF
that farmers homestead in Idaho, OF
perhaps you found the mistake in
that Indian contract in Oklahoma, or
helped to clear that patent for the
hopeful inventor in New York, or
pushed the opening of that new ditch
in Colorado, or made that mine in
Illinois more safe, or brought relief
to the old soldier in Wyoming. No
matter; whichever one of thes4 bene-
ficent individuals you may hapten to
be, give you greeting, Mr.. Flag
Maker"
l was about to pass on, when the
Flag stopped me with these words:
Yesterday the president spoke a
word that made happier the future of
ten million poems in Mexico; but that
act looms no larger on the flag than
the struggle which the boy in Georgia
is making to win the Corn Club prize
this summer.
Yesterday the congress spoke a
word which will open the door of
Alaska; but a mother in Michigan
worked from sunrise until far into
the night, to give her boy an educa-

THIS NATION IS RICHEST
United States Wealth Nearly Double
That Of Any Other Country.

LONDON, July 10.--The wealth of
the United States--income-producing
property of all kinds, including land.
factories and railroads. now not
far from double that of any other
country on earth, according to Sir
George Paish of the Statist.
He figures that the increase in
wealth of the four chief nations in
the last century has been $50 per
cent in Britain, 400 per cent in
France, 700 per cent in Germany and
$500 per cent in the United States.
The wealth of these countries now
stands, he says, as follows:
France -- $4,000, 900, 900
Germany - $4,000, 100000
Britain -- $4,000, 700, 900
United States ----- $50 ,OOO,OOO ,VUo
The increases in population In
these four countries in the last CEN
tury have been sfollows: 1870 per
cent in Britain, 33 per cent in France.
1S0 per cent in Germany and 1.125
per cent in the United States. The
annual savings of these people is now
about as follows:
France - $1,000, 900, 900
Germany $500, 600, 900
Britain - $4,000. 900. 900
United States $4,000, 900, 900
The expansion of banking and
credits, Sir George says, is responsi-
BILE for these vast increases in ma
tonal wealth and industrial develop
ment.

STATE LANDS ARE
OF FABULOUS VALUE
SKAGGS PREDICTS $4,000, 900 4
YEAR INCOME FOR WASH
INGTON'S SCHOOLS.

That the state of Washington in
time will have yearly income OF $4,.
150,250, derived from it's permanen;
school fund, for current school ex.
penses, is the statement made by T
e. Skaggs, a member of the tax com
mission and of the state land board
1.-THE state has been endowed with
natural resources of almost fabulous
values" declares Mr.. SKaggs, land
title to 80 per cent of the original
grants remain vested in the state
This state owns an empire in it's own
right larger than the state of Connec.
ticut, containing billions of feet OF
lumber and hundreds of thousands OF
acres of fertile land"
Mr.. Skaggs points out that the
original area of school land granted
to the state was 3,035,025 acres OF
which 2,5O9,O00 acres has been re
tanned. This does not include the
special grant for capitol buildings.
"With intelligent conservation, the
proceeds of these lands ought to pro-
duce in time permanent fund Of
nearly O,OO0." says Mr.
Skaggs. "By intelligent conservation
/ mean ordinary sense and business
prudence. Conservation does not
mean the sealing up of resources. II
means that the resources shall be dis
posed Of when the time is right.
"At the present time, the proceeds
from the money now at interest, and
the amounts received from rentals
amount to nearly a million dollars
per year. A conservative estimate
based upon past experience in hand
ling our property, places the prob
able value of the present lands to-
gether with the amounts already in
the permanent funds at $92,250, 1000.
with $92.5OO,OO0 in our perma-
nent school fund, we can read
lily see that the reduction in
taxation Will De cOnSlueraDle
sim. This permanent fund will
produce a yearly income of $4,-
151,25O, which will be used to
defray the current expenses of
the various institutions for which
they were set apart Were this fund
available now, all the states part of
the entire expense of education could
be paid out of the income. l do not
mean to infer that this fund will ever
be adequate to take care of all the
expenses of the various educational
institutions in the state, for we all
understand that these expenses must
increase as population increases"

new FISHING
SMACK COMES
WITH DEAD MAN
THE SCHOONER WILLIAM A..
MORSE REACHED PORT FROM
SNAPPER BANKS, FLYING FLAG
AT LF.MAST-DIED SUDDEN
LY.

With her flag flying at half-mast,
the fishing smack William A. Morse, OF
Boston, Mass, arrived in port yes
terday at . o'clock, and upon being
rnoored at Baylen street wharf, Cap
tain Angus Hynes reported the death,
last Friday on the snapper banks, OF a
fisherman named William A. Good
win, 40 years of ago, Of 50 East Cot
tage street, Roxbury, Mass. Captain
Hynes stated that Goodwin had died
suddenly and Immediately when he
learned that a death had occurred
aboard his smack, he hauled up an
Choir at once, and sailed for the port
out of which he will fish in the flu
ture. Upon his vessel showing up In
port late in the afternoon yesterday,
a. large numoer along the waterfront
gathered on Baylen wharf. anxious to
learn what had occurred to cause the
vessel to fly her colors in the manner
indicated.
Capt. Hynes stated that while fish,
ing last Friday morning for red snap
pers, Goodwin appeared to be in as
good health as usual. He was as
sisting in the catch" and during the
day q heavy rain came UP, which gave
the fishermen a good ducling. Shortly
seized with a chilly sensation, and
went below. He continued to grow
worse, and in another hour, Capt
Hynes, said one of the crew called to
him that "Bill was dead" He could
not account for his death, unless it
was something of a congestive chill.
There was no disposition to bury
the unfortunate man at sea, the skip
per said, especially when it was known
that he had a wife and family in
RoXbury, Mass. Last night he sent a
night letter to the family which gave
them the news of Goodwin's death,
ard pending arrival of orders, the re-
mains will be held here. Arrangements
will be made to inter the body by the
local association if the relatives do not
order it sent home. 1t was conveyed
from the wharf to the Pou undertaking
parlors last night.
The Morse has of late been fishing
out from Mobile, but comes to fish for
the firm of Warren Fish Company.

RED FISH CATCHES
WERE GOOD SUNDAY

Several parties who went across the
bay to different points to spend the
DAY, returned last evening at dusk,
bringing large catches of extra large
red fish, which were reported in large
numbers on the inside beach. One
party, consisting of severu. local bust
ness men, proudly displayed a bunch
Of eleven large fish, which they said
were caught just off the pavilion
wharf, across the bay. They stated
that they had fished 10Y less than an
hour, although spending the entire day
at the pavilion. Another party, con-
sisting of several young knen, spent
the greater part of the day at the
marine ways, and brought back strings
Of fish. Speckled trout were also re-
ported in large quantities, and a num-
Der Of them were caught and brought
back by the second party.

ANXIETY OVER
PROBABLE FATE
OF SHIPS ENDS
ARRIVAL OF BRITISH STEAM
SHIP TOTTENHAM PUTS STOP
TO MANY OPINIONS AS TO THE
OVERDUE VESSELS SAFETY,

Anxiety in many quarters over the
probale fate of the British steamship
Tottenham came to an end yesterday
when the steamer arrived in port and
reported all well. The Tottenham had
been out more than forty-five days
from AKIN West Africa, and as the
voyage usually consumes not more
than thirty to thirty-f1ve days, some
little anxiety was being INDUCED in,
the belief in some quarters being that
the steamer, which flies the British
flag, had become a prize of war of
one of the several German cruisers
which are at times reported actively
pursuing the avoCation of preying upon
the British merchantmen. AS stated,
the Tottenham arrived safely yester-
day, and it was announced that the
only reason for her delay was the
foul condition of her bottom, which
Imade it impossible for the steamer to
make her usual indicated speed at sea.
The arrival of the Tottenham will
furnish quite lot Of work to quite
q lot of laborers at Pensacola for a
little more than q week, and night and
day work is in prospect. The steamer
was berthed on the east side of Tar
rragona wharf, and there will discharge
upon cars her large cargo Of mahog-
any logs, which were loaded at AKIN,
West Africa, and which will be sent
through the port Of Pensacola to in
land points the chief point of ship
ment, however being Louisville, KY.
Ut has been the usual custom to dump
cargoes of mahogany into the water,
and in this manner permitting the
vessel being discharged in about a
week, or less time than that. The
boom where these logs are RATED in,
however, is filled with parts of the
several cargoes which were brought
over on several other steamers, and
the newly arrived cargo will be loaded
on cars for transportation to inland
points Of destination.

$4,000 WOMEN
LOSE POSITIONS
RESULT OF WAR
ECONOMIC RESULTS OF THE WAR
HAVE FALLEN HEAVILY ON THE
WOMEN OF LONDON, WHO SUP
PORT THEMSELVES.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Oct. 25.-The economic re-
suits of war have fallen heavily on the
women wage earners of London, of
whom over 10000 have been discharged
from employment since August first.
In the single district Of IsIingtOn, 500
were discharged the past week by two
bottling works, which were forced to
close down because their supply of
bottles from Germany had been cut off.
While the ponderOus machinery of
Queen Mary's Fund to give work to
women is slowly making ready, the
Society of American Women in Lon
don has started a small knitting fac
tory of its own in this populous dis
trict.
Mrs. Joseph Wilcox Jenkins started
the factory. She walked one day into
a labor exchange where 500 women
were registered and asked for those
who could knit. They were then put
to work knitting by hand socks and
connforters, and paid on the union
scale of three pence an hour. This
insures a weekly wage of $3.50 for
forty hours work.
Funds for running the factory are
obtained by the sale of socks, caps
and belts, which are knitted expressly
for the soldiers and sailors. The pur-
chaser is expected to present the same
to the men at the front. Other funds
are obtained by contributions.
One of the employees in the American
factory is a woman with a husband
out of work, a paralyzed sister to care
for and seven children ranging in age
of three to sixteen years. Her eldest,
a girl, earns so cents a week in a
shop, and the war relief fund gives
seven shillings a week to the family.
Since getting a place in the American
factory, the mother has brought the
family income up to S4.S5 a week.
A delicate girl Of % years, a typist j
out of work is the sole support of her
mother and invalid sister. In addition
to her earnings, she gets five shillings
a week from the war relief fund, which
helps defray her weekly rent of $1.85.

been made to buy a new glass eye, |

Most Important
Football Game
Will be Played
Next Saturday
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

New York, Oct. 25.-The most i'm
portant insectionaI football game of the
present season will be played in the
Harvard stadium on Saturday, when
the Michigan and Harvard teams meet
for the first time in tWenty-one years
AS representatives Of the eastern and
western methods of attack and defense
the two eleVens hold high rank in their
respective territories. Because of this
fact and the excellent records made by
both teams in the early games this
fall the result of the contest will be
awaited with more than usual inter-
est by followers of football through
the country.
The personnel of the teams and
coaching stats add greatly to the in
terest in the contest since both eleVens
include players Of national reputation
and the battle of gridiron strategy be-
tween Coach Haughton of Harvard
and Yost of Michigan should develop
some of the sensational plays for which
these football generals are noted. Har-
ward will be handicapped oy the alb
sence of Captain Brickley, the famous
drop-kick scorer but in other re-
spects the Crimson should be able to
show an initial lineup fully equal to
that which won the chief eastern hon
OLlS OF 1919. Il ulDack
Splawn for punting and drop-lziCking,
Haughitt at quarter, MauIbetch and
Boehm at halfback, has a backfeId Of
exceptional calibre and one equal in
ability to the Crimson trio, Logan,
Bradlee and Mahan. The lines Of both
teams are fast and heavy and strong
in both offensive and defensive play.
Presuning that the elevens enter
the game equally strong the ultimate
victory may rest with the coaching
stats and the system of attack which
they adopt. Both Haughton and Yost
are masters Of football strategy and
because Of the Importance of the con-
test some exceptionally brilliant plays
are likely to be uncovered. Coach Yost
has stated that he considers the Har- |
ward game one of the biggest insec-
tionaI matches Of recent years. West |
ern football experts predict that he |
will spring several intricate plays that !
will startle the eastern followers of !
the sport. Evidently something of this |
sort is expected for the advance scale |
