BLOW THE MAN DOWN.

BLOW THE MAN DOWN. A Romance " the
Coast. By Holman Day. Emo. pp i62. Harper
a Bros.
Mr.. Day makes a new departure in
this story. To be sure, the Maine coast
is not far distant, the hero is a Maine
seaman, there is a Maine girl, but the
quaint humor of his earlier tales is
lacking. Mr.. Day is bent on serious
business here, the exposure Of wicked
millionaire who is gaining control of all
the coastwise shipping by lawless
means. The methods employed by his
underlings are homicidal. Running a
passenger steamer ashore in foe is
simply financial manipulation to them.
The possible loss OF life does not con-
ccrn them. The Maine man is captain
of the wicked milionaire's yacht, and
falls In love with his lovely and very
up-to-d daughter. He is scraped of
the boats side by the bowsprit of a
fishing schooner, which capsizes; he
cuts his way and that Of the crew, out

fortunes Of group of squatters on a

There should be other histories
written in this manner. 1t is all too
true that, as Or. Eckenrode says.
historians of our Revolution have
i-~ored the internal growth OF the
rew-made States, and that consequent
" mo adequate account has been given
cf the spiritual change which came
ever Massachusetts and Virginia in the
Revolutionary epoch, and which had
such great influence on the develop
ment of the nation" In the present
volume the author essays to supply
that lack so far IS Virginia is con-
cerred. and he succeeds so we'll as TO
make the reader feel that a new and
commanding vista OF national history
has been opened TO his vision. We
have had histories galore Of the
military operations of the Revolution,
of the politics Of the Continental Con-
gfess. and Of the industrial and social
development of the country. Now

Royal Dixon undertakes to study this
most important Of all our national
problems in all its aspects and ramiiica
tions. He does not mince words; in
deed. he speaks with all the emphasis
that the hour demands:
The nation knows to-day what
only little group of people had
begun to realize at the beginning
of the present war, namely, that
these are the United States as far
as the map of the world goes, but

The author says that. as the fire SER

Mr. Snaith's versatility seems TO have
no bounds. Already he has given us
in "Broke of Covenden" picture of
the passing of the old order in Eng
land worthy of place beside John
Galsworthys novels; he has written
historical romance, a tale of diplomacy,
a story of adventure. all of them of
excellent quality in their genres; and
now he ventures upon that most haz-
ardous and difficult of fctional under
takIngs, the depicting of the rise of a
man of genius from obscurty to fame.
That, in the telling of his story, he in
vites comparisons is inevitable, but, be-
yond the unacceptable similarity of the
social atmosphere to which his genius
rises, the book and its hero are his
own.

Klondyke in the forecastle, teaches HIM

Then, after six years, he resolves,
in his vague, purposeless way, to leave

he loses the national cup for his team,

Here, at last, he finds himself, but
still in that wandering, hypnotic, un-

that he would write, that he must
write, and thus begins that series of
tales Of the sea which, according to the
critics, ranks with Conrad's books and
Stevenson's.
No mad genius, this, but an unpracti-

sionally watches over beautiful talents
such as this end guides them safely
from the depths to the heights. Art
has its limitations, wherefore this
destiny must needs be expressed in
the story by what appears, on the sur
face, TO be the long arm of coinci-
dence. But in reality there is more
in II than this. Henry Harper is often
on the brink of disaster, as purpose
full, apparently, as the mysterious
power tina. protects him. The wander
ing Englishman, in leaving him, seem
ingly sends him TO his ruin. The
woman Of the town whom he marries
in all guileless ignorance of her past
comes nea:er still to killing the divine
fire within him; adverse fate has
free hand in the development of the
story, wherefore in the retrospect the
authors guiding presence is not too
plainly seen.
Perhaps the supreme merit Of the
book is its constant suggestion of the
narrow margin by which geniuses may
be and no doubt constantly are lost
to the world, which stands SO much in
need of them.

this new novel of his of the great
Canadian Northwest. The same robust
directness Of human motives and action
marks this story; the man who is its
hero is big and straight as the timber
from which he must wrest livelihood
and fortune, and the woman grows 10
his stature. She comes direct from the
East and its amenities TO her brother
logging camp. He has acquired the
roughness of his environment and COM
panions, the "bigness" is still to come.
Money is his only idol; to it he would
sacrifice even his sister, promising
recompense vaguely in the future.
And so she becomes the camp cook, a
drudge, not a co-worker, until she re-
volts. Penniless, she takes the only
road to escape open to her, marriage
for a home and comfort to a man she
does not love. He knows it; he knows
also that the love will come, for he
knows the way of the primitive with
ihe emotions of men and women. There
is genuine strength and understanding

YUMA NEGLECTING
 FINE OPPORTUNITY

A striking example of the ways in which Yuma neglects her opportuni- ties to advertise the advantages of fered to the home seekers by the Yuma project was exhibited yester- day.
 When passenger train No. 9 arrived at it's usual time, half an hour after noon, it was found that the airbrakes were out of order and the train was held an hour and four minutes at the car shops while the necessary repairs were being made.
 During this time the passengers were entertaining themselves by walking up and down between their train and strings of freight cars on either side when they might have been viewing the magnificent speci- mems of Yuma agricultural products if there had been any such in sight.
 We have an exhibit house at the station, where the trains never stop more than five minutes; but it is now used as lunch counter and the agri- cultural exhibit is a thing of the past.
 Would it not be a good plan to move the house to a place on the west side of Madison avenue near the car shops and keep it stocked with samples of Yumaa agricultural and mining products. A strong lunged man could be on hand at every day time train to call the attention of passengers to the exhibit, and it is but

; DIFFERENCE TO SOLVE
 CROP MARKETING PROBLEM

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-Plans to check the annual billion-dellar waste in the marketing of farm products, and a comprehensive program in rural credits, beyond the present scope and powers of the farm loan board, will be the chief work of the Fourth Ma tional conference on Marketing and Farm Credits, called today, to meet in Chicago December 4-9.
 The marketing section of the con- ference will take practical and imme- diate steps to rectify certain abuses in marketing, and to tighten up the loose methods now prevailing in the handling of the chief crops of the nation It is expected that the crops considered will be livestock, cotton, grain, hay and whole milk and it's products Hearings will be held to develop the movement of these crops and the conditions surrounding their handling.
