When really serious effort was
made in 1855 to list the rich men Of
New York city, Just 81 mllllonaires
were revealed. And William B. Aston,
led the lines with $6,0OO,00O. P. T. Bar
mum was credited with 100000. Au-
gust Belmont, with S250000, was far
below the $1,OO0.O00 class, Cornelius
Vanderbilt had S1,5O0,0O0; Alexander
T. Stewart, S2.OO0.0O0. OF the 1900
mllllonaires listed in the United States
in 1914, just less than 60 years later,
1000 were credited to New York. And
today we have news of the beginning in
that city of the Millionaire class, John
D. Rockefeller being the first of the

ample of how wealth accumulates, rep
resents in his single person more than
twenty times the combined riches of
the mlllionnlres of 1855.

MUCH PROGRESS ON

A very enjoyable picnic was held on
the campus of Center Ridge Supple
mentary School July Fourth. The
forenoon was devoted to a social time
and games, the apple race being one
of the most amusing A public dinner
was served at noon such as few COM
munities but Hill Top and surround

ner.
An agricultural hall is we'll under
construction and will be temporarily
occupied by Rev. j, D. VanTyne and
family as a residence. Rev. Mr.. Van
Tyne is recently from Grand Junction,
Colorado, and will work in the up
building of the school.
A parsonage will be built on the
campus this summer and the agricul-
tural hall will be ready for the an
nual fair next October. This hall is a
five roomed structure built in the form
of cross and designed with the view
of decorating it and the surrounding
grounds with the flowers and vines
of Gather Mountain.
A floral club has been started in
connection with the agricultural club
and a start has been made toward
decorating the campus with the flow
ers, ferns and vines of the mountain.
A day will be devoted this fall toward
further beautifying the campus.
Arrangements have been made for
canning club agent to give instruc-
tions in September to the Canning
Club of Hill Top.
The recent death of Rev. Buchanan
at his home in Monmoth, Illinois, has
delayed the building of the dormitory
but it is hoped his successor will soon
take up the work.
Several families have recently
moved in from California, Kansas
and elsewhere, adding to the school
population.
School will begin the first Monday
in September with the same teachers
that were formerly employed.

THE COUNTRY WEEKLY AT $500.
Fort Atchison, Wis. Union)

Fort Atchison, Wis, Union)
The Union three years ago, was los
ing money at SlOO a year net. Papers
all around us were charging $50 per
year We have just got up 10 $50
net and ii is not near enough TO pay
the subscribers share Of the expense
Of printing il. This year the cost Of
the paper will go close to $500 for
each paying subscriber; that is ST." eco
for 1000 subscribers.
Next fall we have decided TO put the
price up to sl.75 net or $500 if not
paid in advance 10 all subscribers liv-
ing within our advertising zone-2O
miles. Beyond that zone SUBSCRIBERS
must pay $500 net instead of s1.75
net as now.
To give some idea of the slim pay
we have to take and live on and how
our subscribers have been squeezing
us, let us submit few figures. Thirty
years ago when our price was $500
per year farmers were paying us as
follows for one years subscription:
One cord of wood; now it's a quar-
ter cord.
Sixty pounds of live hog; now it's
10 pounds.
Twenty dozen eggs; now it's 5
dozen.
Eight bushels of potatoes; now it's
l IL pecks.
Three bushels of wheat; now it's 40
pounds.
Three bushels of corn; now it's /
bushel.
Thirty-two pounds of cheese; now
it's Z pounds.
Sixteen pounds of butter; now it's
pounds.
Fifty quarts of milk; now it's %
quarts.
If our farmer subscribers paid us
$500 a year for the Union we couldn't
get as much to eat from them in ex-
change as we used to get. When it
comes to hiring help, we are in just
as bad a boat. We used to get good,
efficient men for S1.0O day; now the
same sort of help demands $500 or
more. Ink and paper have advanced
enormously, but we have to pay the
price or quit. So you see that a raise
to $500 for weeklies like the Union
is only a handful of sand thrown on
the creased incline to bankruptcy. 1t
will slow us up some. If any farmer
will give us the amount of produce
for the Union this fall that he would
have had to give thirty years ago, we
will caress him like long-lost brother

For Criticizins Contract Awarded
 British Munitions Company.

Washington. Jan. 21. - Secretary Daniels issued a statement today ex plainig and defending his action in awarding to Hadields, Limited, a British munitions company, contracts for a large number of navy armor- I iercing projectiles at a price about $2O0 each below the lowest American bid. The statement is in reply to a published comment on the contract which, MT. Daniels soys, convinced me that a concise statement of the ex- penses of the department is obtaining shells equal in quality to those used by foreign naVies at a reasonable price is necessary to enable the public to understand what has been going on."
 Referring to a report in certain American trade journals that the Brit ish government has urged Hadfields to seek this contract for the purpose of creating a panic in the American steel market, and a resultant reduc- tion in the export price of American steel, the secretary says that "it is patent absurdity," as such an order the market.
 Mir Daniels says the Bethlehem Steel company, which has been filling the papers with advertisements crit icizing the department" admitted in one of these publications that it had failed to make satisfactory shells on a contract awarded two years ago.
 Until it is able to fill it's contracts" he adds, it does not become the Beth lehem company to criticize the navy department for awarding contracts to manufacturers who can make shells that meet testS.''
