Farm and Fireside says:
The people Of the South are urg-
ed as a matter Of patriosm TO buy
cotton as a means Of supporting the
glutted market. Buy a bale is the
slogan. An excellent means of dis
tributing the burden OF carrying
cotton, if it could be carried into
effect.
why not start the slogan, Buy
barrel of apples? The apple mark

The TactfuI Con.

Charles Comiskey, who runs the
White SOx ball club in Chicago. is
widely acquainted in that big town
and in his day has been lavish with
passes to his ball park.
Last year he gave season pass to
q young man he had helped to an ap-
pointment on the Chicago police force.
Soon after this Comiskey was pushing
his automobile a bit beyond the speed
limit up Michigan boulevard and was
stopped by a policeman. The police
man opened the door of the car and
saw Comiskey sitting inside.
"Hello, Bill!' said Comiskey. How
are you getting along since got you
your job on the force?"
The policeman coughed and stutter-
ed. Finally he said:

go slower with this car of yours or

Good Bye the Locomotive.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Newspapers and students Of municipal
problems have long prophesied that the
time was not far away when the rail-
roads would substitute electricity for
steam as their motive power. But the
silence Of the railroads on the subject
has been somewhat disconcerting, even
though some OF them have already car
ried the change beyond the experimental
stage.
Recently. in Atlantic City. was held
a convention of the master car builders,
railroad master mechanics and railroad
supply manufacturers of the country.
And they made the same prediction
Pretty SOON they said. there will not
be a steam locomotive in the country
This is indeed encouraging Practical
constructors of railroad equipment would
not make such a statement unless they
were sure of their ground. And there
are facts understandable by non-rail.

sss Cars to Transport Food.

To transport this vast food supply.
allowing thirty tons for each freight
car. a train Of s33 cars would be re-
quired. Allowing sixty feet for each
car this train would have length of
nearly ten miles and approximately
twenty locomotives would be required
to move it.
The clothing for 2o.0o0,00 men. al
lowing three yards for each mans 9
uniform. would represent 100000
yards of cloth. Sewed end for end to-
gether this strip of cloth would cover
a distance of $4,000 miles. or one and
one half times the circumference of
the earth. The buttons for these uni
forms would weigh about 1000 tons
and would require more than 1000
horses 10 draw the load comfortably.
Each soldier consumes about one and
one-half pounds of meat a day, pro-
vided it is apportioned on this liberal
basis by the various commissary de-
partments of the respective armies
This would mean the consumption OF
80, 600 900 pounds, or $4,000 tons To
supply this food more than $4,000 cat
tie would be required. The hides SO
obtained would. If converted into
shoes for this vast army, provide
shoes for fewer than 100000 men for
one year, and shoes for 20.000.000

585 VATERLANDS TO CARRY
THE 10000, 900 SOLDIERS
Would Leave Little Room for Resi-
dents If Monster Army Were
Landed on Manhattan.

NEW YORK August 12.-With approx
inately 0,hnHp men under arms in Eu-
rope. representing nations the areas OF
whose countries exceed one-haf OF the
aera of the globe, statisticians are fgur-
ing out various complex yet interesting
conditions which the mobilization of so
vast body of men in time of war neces-
sarily creates. The war now in progress
being one of the greatest in history, II
follows naturally that in comparison with
the data of the past the present compu-
tations rise to heights beyond the COM
prehension of the average person. whose
talents for mathematics are, perhaps. di-
rected in other and more useful chan
nels.
After making various calculations,
based upon facts and figures connected
with the current war. local statlsticlai
said that If the armies OF Germany,
France. Austria, Russia. England, Servia
Montenegro. Belgium and Italy. number
ing 2OO99,o 900 men. were to be deposited
upon the Island of Manhattan there
would be little room for the millions now
occupying thi sisland.
Line Would Almost Encircle Earth.
Manhattan has an area of 21-9S square
miles he said. This represents rough
ly. based upon an area OF twenty s-t"o
square miles. sos 1924 SEQ square feet of
territory Allowing a space of four
square feet for each soldier. the Euro
pean armies now in the field would take
up every inch of Manhattan from the
Battery TO a point beyond 15oth street.
Should they lie at full length, allowing
six feet for each man. the line or sleeping
soldiers would extend a distance of 10
coo 900 feet or ~, 12S miles. Such a line
of human beings would almost encircie
the globe"
The statistician said further that the
transportation of such an army Of men
across the Atlantic would require 5so
steamships the size of the Naterland OF
tbs Hamburg American line. The or
dinary man of sound appetite con-
sunes about two and one-half pounds
of food every day. so that the men un-
der arms in Europe consume $4,000. 600
pounds, or $4,000 tons. daily. This
amount of food if stacked up in boxes
would equal in size the Woolworth

in the same order would cover a line

tance would be doubled and at six
feet il would be trebled. Just fancy a

are in motion at New York.
''All parades ever held in the world
would be insignificant In size COM
pared with the monster procession.
The sound money parade in New
York in 1891 showed 90.195 marchers.
A parade of the armies Of Europe,
marching as the sound money par
tisans did in 1891. would have been
twenty-five hundred times rs long.
There were besides this great parade
six others at various times in this
country, the total number of marchers
: having been 283.16S. Basing compu-
tation upon 100000 men In these pa
rades, a procession of the troops now
at war in Europe would be 666 times
as large.
