UnoxpIored Lands,

Europe is the only continent which
has been completely explored. A large
area in North America has never been
visited by civilized people. 1t IS in the
northwestern part Of Alaska, within a
short distance of the coast There are.
besides, similar areas In the extreme
northern section of the North Ameri.
can continent. in the vicinity Of Hud-
son bay. and again in Labrador.
The interior of Brazil has several large
unexplored areas. and there are sim
liar areas to the southwark. Africa, as
might be expected, contains more un
explored territory than any other con
tinent The largest lies in the Sahara
while the central part of the dark con.
tinent to the southwark offers many
opportunities for exploration.
Despite the antiquity Of civilization
in Asia. much remains to be done by
the geographer. There are several un
explored areas in Arabia. as we'll as II
China. and especially In northern 81
IBERIA. Australia contains several dark
spaces in the northern section. Through
out the south seas lie many islands
some of considerable area, which have
not yet been placed upon the map.

The Home Paper

Ex-Governor David r. Francis
of Missouri once said the follow
ing of newspapers:
Each year the local paper CIV
es from $500 to 81 900 in free lines
to the community in which it is
located. No other agency can or
will do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to his means does more for
his town than any ten men, and in
fairness he ought to be supported
not because you like him or ad-
mire his writings, but because the
local paper is the best investment
a community can make. 1t may
not be brilliantly edited or crowd
ed with thought, but financially it
is of more benefit to the communi-
ty than the preacher or teacher.
Understand me, | do not mean
mentally, and yet OH moral ques-
tions you will find most of the pa
pers on the right side. To-day
the editors of the local papers do
the most for the least money Of
any people on earth. "

KNOTT POINTS TO
A BAD TENDENCY
Says County Debts Increase Too
Fast
Makes Several Recommendations
That Will Be Presented
For Legislative Action

Figures on the affairs of the va
rlous counties are given by State
Comptroller Knott in his report of
the statements presented from the
county commissioners and clerks
OF the circuit courts for the two
slx-month periods from July /,
1913, to June 80, 1914. A uni
form method for making these re-
ports is now in operation in every
county and hereafter they will be
furnished at the end of every six
months.
From them Comptroller Knott
suggests among other things that
the reports of the county school
funds be prepared by the boards
of public instruction instead of
leaving it to the clerk of the cir
cult court to prepare from infOr-
nation furnished him.
Mr.. Knott calls attention to the
mistakes made in the past in the
payment of the expenses from the
wrong fund and the expenditures
of money in a way not authorized
by law. His Instructions on this
question have resulted in large
savings of public money.
The conditions in county f.
nancies are such as to demand i'm
mediate attention, Knott says, and
some corrective measures should
be devised. He calls attention
to the fact that deficits of the
county fund proper amounted to
1896, 874.96 to which in consider
alton, should be added the deficits
of the county school fund of ST.
744, 1886, or a total of $780,
$3.50. This vast debit, he claims,
is more dangerous in its tendency
than in the amount, as is shown
by the increase over the same date
