the farmer who has raised good pines on ledge that would otherwise, have borne nothing more useful than mu1- leins and moss should be complained of when he takes off his pine crop and turns 1t into money. Any more than why I should be found fault with for cutting and stocking my corn before the frosts have ruined it's fodder value; or for moving and burning my aspara gus tops before the blasts of winter have turned the beauty spot in- to a repellent swamp of dead litter. e The farmers business is very prae- tical and unsentimental one. It is to grow the things the world needs-and make a living at it, if he can. It is not to turn his farm into park, at his own cost, for the de1ectation of out siderS' eyes.
 :. The particular farmer who has sold these particular pines sorely needs the money, that happen to know. Moreover he got a good price for them. At the same time he was per- fectly willing to sell them and the hill they stood on to anyone who wanted to preserve them, if he could get the value of the land and that of the tim Der.
 But, while there were plenty to de- claim against their destruction and and some to sigh over his willingness to trade beauty for money, there were none willing to put up the money to save the beauty. sense should the farmer be expected to sacrifice his taxed land and his tax ed crop. to suffer the whole loss in his own pocket, for the sake of other peo- pIes sensibilities?
 That's what gets me.

 The brakes on the car were imme- diately applied, but the ground was slippery and the forward end of the machine slid on to the tracks. Steps

There is no more reason why a farmer shouldn't grow white pines on land which is practically worthless for any other crop but good for them, than why he shouldn't raise tobacco on land that is better suited for tobacco than any other crop.

For it must not be forgotten that trees are vegetables as truly as any other plants.
 And the farmers business is to grow all such things in his dirt to supply the needs Of the world. If that part of the world he can reach wants as- paragus and corn, he grows asparagus and corn If it wants pine boX-boards or chestnut telegraph poles, or white birch spoois, he can grow pine and chestnut and white birch. His part is to make his land produce that crop which it is best fitted for and which, by best serving the needs of world construction, will most proftably re- ward him.
 The raising of trees for lumber is as fairly part of his work as the raising of potatoes for cooking or of the ground involved and the market demand.
 Almost every farm has some fields which are specially adapted for hay and can't be used so proftably for any, thing else. The wise farmer keeps them in grass and cuts them over, veal after year. Perhaps another field is l good for potatoes. Therefore he raises potatoes on it just as often as his TO- tation permits. Here and there are bits which will produce fine tomatoes or peas or celery. IT he has market for such things, he puts them into to- matoes and peas and celery. Back or the farm are some lots that will grow pretty good rye and buckwheat. Sc he raises rye and buckwheat on them
 There are still othn1 areas on the farm which are not plowable or tilla- ble at all--ledgy, hilly, thin-soile6 mountain sides. But they will grow cord-wood or bean-poles or hoop-poles or, perhaps. pines or white bircHles.
 Very we'll then if he has any market for such growths. they are the sort foI him to raise on such patches. They are the crops for him to encourage there, to raise until they become mark etable, and then to market them.

In a recent Interview A. L Erlangei

ing points that Mr.. Erlanger made:
The present theatrical season. from
the standpoint Of receipts, 10 the worst
In seventeen years.
The formation Of the syndicate was
the commencement Of the validity Of
the theatrical contract.
Until last year the easiest thing in
the world to organize in any small
town was a corporation to build a
theater.
Big successes that used to run from
six to seven years are now fortunate
II they can get two full seasons.
There never has been a theatrical
star or a theatrical manager clever
enough to fool the public.

the populations in the large cities OF
this country at least twenty years.

Stefansson and his party started last

region bordering on the north pole and
to define the limits of an unexplored
continent which Stefansson and 9th.

those regions. Stefansson took with
him the largest scientific stan ever

told the expedition had four ships. A

Railways In Mexico;
Ruin and Havoc
Wrought by Revolution
\ RESIDENT E. N. BROWN o,

~ RESIDENT e. N. BROWN Of
the Nacionales de Mexico 1.-THE
National Railways Of Mexico).
the largest railroad in the Mex
lean republic, has been on a visit to
this country and has been in consulta-
ton with some prominent railway
presidents. The Nacionales railroad Is
very much in the eyes Of the American
public just at the present time. 1t has
suffered heavily at the hands Of the
rebels. who have destroyed a large
part Of the property. and more damage
is still threatened. The Nacionales
railway represents an Investment Of
1884 100000 Mexican or about SAT-
100000 In our money. At one stage
of the revolution the value of its prop
erty seized by rebels was approximate
ly $225.OOO.OOO.
The last report of the Nacionales de
Mexico recently made public deals
with the operations during the fiscal
year ending June 80 last.
The company's gross earnings, which
were $81. 447 900 (Mexican) in 1912, de-
clined $4.077. 900 in the past year. A
surplus Of $2.4S4OO earned in 1912
was reduced to $723.OOO last year. and
after paying one dividend of per
cent on the first preferred stock. there
remained a deficit Of $48S,OOO at the
close Of the year. This reduces the
colnpany's surplus from previous years
to $4,000 (Mexican) or about $4,000
in United States gold coin.
1T will be recalled that reference
was made last year to the difficulty Of
selling at fair price any Of the prior
lien bonds or guaranteed general mort
gage bonds. and the consequent neces-
sity of meeting the financial require
ments by the issuance Of short term
