WHY IT'S GREATEST CITY.
New York Has $4,000 Factories ana
Does Stupendous Business.

The greatness of New York city is
not usually appreciated until repre-
sented in figures. Borough president
Marks of Manhattan in his address
before the Real Estate association of
the State of New York at its con-
yention last week gave statistics
which indicate that New York is the
foremost city perhaps in the world.
The purpose of these statistics was
to substantiate Borough President
Marks in his opinion that New York
city real estate is the most stable in
yestment and that values here are
substantially based He said.
New York city has $4,000 fac
tories, with almost s2.000.o00,OOO OF
capital, turning out annually prod
ucts valued at sS,00O,000,000 and
employing $4,000 persons receiving
s54O,OOO,0O0 annually in salaries and
wages. Few people know that one
tenth of the manufactures of the
United States are made in New York
city.
"It may be fairly called the termi-
nal of every American railroad:
100000 persons enter and depart
from this city every day; a new
building is erected every so min
utes: as a port it receives and sends
out 100000 tons of freight an
nually; it has a foreign commerce
amounting to s2,772.000,00o, which
is more than "A per cent. of the
country's total commerce.
stThe constant and steady increase
in population, which in New York
city has been at the rate of 100000
persons annually during the past ten
years, is a most important factor.
The constantly increasing facilities OF
transportation between the boroughs
have increased values. New York is
literally the greatest city in the
world, with wonderful opportunities
for further development and great
Increases in real estate values in ev-
cry borough.
'eNew York in reality is five great
cities. Manhattan is larger than
Chicago, Brooklyn is larger than
Philadelphia, The Bronx is as large
as Detroit, Queens is larger than Min
neapolis and Richmond is larger than
Salt Lake City."-New York Sun.

RECORD SMASHED, LIVES LOST.
Aitken Wins Grand Prize in Tragic
Race.-Car Leaves Course.

Santa Monica, Cal, Nov. 1S.-Drlv-
or Lewis Jackson and three other
persons were killed today in the sew
enth annual international grand
prize automobile race, which was
won in record breaking time on the
Santa Monica course by Johnny Ait
ken driving as relief for Howard Will
cox.
The dead. besides Jackson, are:
Harold Edgerton, Los Angeles, spec
tator: J. B. Jenkins, motion picture
camera operator: unidentified wo-
man, lemonade vender. The injured:
John Ghianda, Los Angeles. jackson S
mechanician: ]. S. Hannigan, Los
Angeles, spectator.
Jackson. a Los Angeles driver, on
his 18th lap swerved into one OF the
palm trees lining the course. the
car uprooted the tree it struck, over
turned a lemonade stand, killing the
woman in charge, crushed jenkins
against a second palm which was
broken off short and wrapped itself
around a third tree. In this wreck
age Jackson was crushed. Ghianda
was thrown out and escaped danger
Gus injuries. Edgerton was struck
bv flying parts of the wrecked car.
He and Jenkins died an hour after
they were taken to hospital. Han
nigan also was struck by parts of the
wrecked car. He will recover.
Wilsox was declared the official
winner of the race and the new speed
record of $3.50 miles an hour for the
403.24S miles of the course will stand
in Wilcox's name. Athens time,
credited to Wilcox, was 4:42:47.
The winners of the first, second
and third places all averaged better
time than the former grand prize
record of 1922 made two years ago
on the same course by Eddie Pullen.
Others finishing were: Cooper, Sec
ond 4:4s:49, an average of 1912;
Patterson, third 5:09:3S, an average
of 1918; Roads, fourth, time not an
nounced.
Eighteen drivers started but only
six survived. Mechanical troubles
caused most of the withdrawals. Ed
die Pullen, holder of the former
grand prize record, turned over on
the second lap but was uninjured.
Dario Resta, winner of the Wander
bilt cup race Thursday and of last
years grand prize race, withdrew on
the 18th lap on account of mechanic
al trouble.

SYSTEMATIC REFORESTING.
Urged That Waste Lands of United
Kingdom Be Planted.

The natural forest planting scheme
of E. P. Stebbing, lecture in forestry
at Edinburgh university, is urged for
immediate adoption as a step toward
remedying the present appalling
waste of timber. In 1913 the timber
imports into the United Kingdom
were not less than s215, 100000, but
the war has greatly increased the de-
mand, while reducing the importa-
ton, and home woodlands are being
rapidly cleared. The plan would in
clude the immediate replanting by
the land owner of all woods sold and
felled. Besides this waste land
would be taken up and 100000
acres would be planted in 80 years,
or about 100000 acres per year. A
preliminary map should be made of
the waste lands available in each
county. Some land might be acquir-
ed by lease or purchase, and arrange
ments for planting of other areas
might be made through some partner
ship between the government and the
owners.

Playing With Matches.

If one could imagine all the build
ings destroyed by fire in the United
States in year arranged along one
highway, each building occupying a
lot\sixty-five feet wide, the highway
would extend from New York to Chi
cago, and the buildings would line it
on each side. Such is the calcula-
ton of the department of interior.
Furthermore, person travelling
this scene of desolation would pass
in every thousand feet ruin from
which an injured person had been
taken. At every three-quarters of a
mile he would encounter the remains
of a human being who had been
burned to death.
1t is such facts as these, repeat
ed year after year, that led to the es-
tablishment of fire prevention day in
the United States-a day on which
the thoughts of the American people
are turned to the fearful waste of life
and property due to the national
habit of building flimsily and then
playing with matches.
The Chicago fire of 1871 still ranks
as Americas most destructive con-
flagration, and the anniversary of
that event, October 9, is now general
ly accepted as the day for centering
the thought of the nation on the
needlessness of such sacrifices. BY Of
fetal proclamation fire prevention
day is called to the popular attention
and it's general observance in some
fitting fashioned recommended
For years, it is estimated, the
amount of actual property annually
consumed by fire in this country
reaches s250,0O0,O0O and another
sum of about like proportions is spent
for the maintenance of fire depart
ments, waterworks, insurance premi-
ums, etc, to prevent still greater
losses. 1t is a fearful penalty to pay
for carelessness, but the American
people keep on paying it year after
year without serious complaint.

ance of fire prevention day the bet.

No words were exchanged between
Burdine and Davis just previous to

the outside of the church could offer
no explanation as to the cause of the
trouble. Mild excitement prevailed.

The Buzzard.

In farmers bulletin No. 755, Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
w. L. McAtee makes a plea for the
protection of the buzzard-a disease
scattering, filthy, destructive bird for
whose existence in modern, civiliz-
ed community there is no shadow of
an excuse.
The buzzard specializes in feeding
on carrion, or the decaying carcasses
of dead animals. The only excuse we
have heard for the existence of the
buzzard is that he is scavenger. He
is, but such a scavenger as ought not
to be tolerated in any community.
We have passed the day when buzz
yards should be depended upon or al
lowed to eat and spread broadcast
over the land the decaying, germ
laden and disease-conyeying carcasses
of animals dying on our farms. There
is no sort of doubt but that bird
which feeds on the decaying car
casses of animals dead of an infec-
tious or contagious disease may be
and actually is a common means OF
spreading the infection. That the
buzzard hpreads anthrax (charbon) ,
hog cholera and other diseases there
can be no doubt, and the fact that it
is not the chief means by which these
diseases are spread is no reason why
the buzzard should be spared, for
even if only a minor agent in the
spreading of disease, this is sufficient
to far outweigh any good he does.
Good and useful birds, even harm
less and useless birds if they have
beauty alone, should be preserved; !;
but when the bird enthusiast permits
his sentiment to run away with his
Judgment and tries to justify. the ex-
istence of the buzzard in a modern,
civilized community, it is time to
draw the line.
The author of this bulletin, for in
stance. in his extremity to find some
excuse for the continued existence OF
the buzzard, gives as a proof that it
is not an important means of spread
ing hog cholera, "the fact that hog
&c uSr
riously destructive in regions where
there are few or no turkey buzzards.
as in certain Northern States and Ca
madam provinces. We submit that
hog cholera is not seriously destruc-
tive in the Canadian provinces, and
the fact that outbreaks occasionally
occur where there are no buzzards
proves nothing, except that the buz-
zard is not the only means of spread
ing cholera, which is known by every
body.
The carcasses of dead animals
should be disposed of in some more
sanitary way than by being devour-
ed and scattered by buzzards. More
! over, a single pig or lamb, which is
often killed by this filthy pirate OF
the feathered tribe, is worth more
than a thousand of these germ and

How to Leave Your Mark.

I think | have put more pure-Dred
hogs into my county in the last two
years than had been put into it in
fifty years BEFORE" said a farmer in
our Office the other day.
And as our friend said this, the
thought at once occurred to us: Here
is a real community builder, civiliza-
tion promoter, champion of progress!
That man has lived; the world is
better for his having lived; and the
simple statement of what he has done
for agricultural progress is a more
worthy epitaph than would be the
statement that he had been sheriff
of his county, had string of col
lege degrees, or had accumulated a
fortune he had used office,
fortune, or education for public
spirited rather than for selfish pur-
poses.
And you yourself, kind reader,
may we not suggest that you as we'll
as every other farmer should so live
as to have to your credit some one
distinctive achievement in communi-
ty development?
Can't you have it said of you these
next ten years that you have done
more than anybody else in your
county-or at least more than any
body else in your neighborhood-to
introduce pure-bred hogs?
Or to introduce ,pure-bred beef cat
tie?
Or pure-bred dairy cattle?
Or to improve the breed of horses
Or to get everybody to sowing
clover?
Or to popularize improved farm
machinery?
Or to enrich the farm lands?
Or to develop cooperative buying
and selling?
Or to improve the schools?
Or to improve the roads?
Or to enrich the social life of the
community?
Or to beautify the homes?
It doesn't matter so much what
you choose. It may be that you
want to make your neighborhood
famous for Berkshires or Jerseys OF
Angus, or for painted houses, or fol
it's green fields in winter, or for its
fine school, or for it's farmers club
or for it's Grape myrtles and 'pecans
in the front yard.
But we do hope that you vii
choose some one thing, make it 9
hobby, study everything you can reac
or hear about it; make yourself not
ed as being enthusiastic, informed
and public-spirited about it, so thai
years afterward when you have gone
men and women will speak Of you
one distinctive contribution to com
munity progress and development
and say, well, he left his mark fol
good on this neighborhood." Here
indeed is a field for education ant
cooperation-for education because
it will take education to arouse you
neighbors, and for cooperation be
cause only with their cooperation vii
you be able to get results-Progres
