THE WORLDS GREATEST Ma
TON.

IN the history or the world. AL
the beginning of the Euporean
war our national wealth was, in
round numbers, $l87, 900, 000,-
900. The next richest nation
was the British Empire, which.
with all its possessions, includ-
ing India and Canada, had only
$1,000 900, 900. Next was Ger
many with $4,000, 900, 600, and
France with $4,000, 600. 900.
Ours is the richest nation and
yet, compared with the older ma
tons, we have but fairly begun
to create wealth. Economists
concede that our future wealth
production will be much greater
than it has been in the past.
And conditions with us favor
this proposition in every way. In
comparison with the older ma
tons that have practically
reached their limit in wealth
production, we have a tremend-
GUS erea of good soil and natural
resources to each person of our
population. All our land in the
United States proper is in lati-
tudes that make it productive,
and our mountain districts are
so rich in minerals that they will
very likely add more to our
wealth than they would if they
were the best agricultural lands.
A little comparison with some
of the Euporean nations will il
lustrate this point clearly.
For more than two years Ger
many and Austria Hungary have
been at war with nearly all of
the remainder of Europe and
colonists from other continents.
Now that we have entered the
war it is interesting to mole how
these two nations compare with
the United States.
Germany has an era of 208, $50
square miles, and Austria-Hun-
gary 261, 035 square miles, max
inf 469, 1865 square miles for the
two.
Before the war Germany had a
population of 64,903, 423, and
Austria Hungary 40, 418, 500, or
Ia. 1872, 019 for both.
The area of the United States
is 3,616, 484 square miles, and
its population about 100000, 900,
not counting the area and popu-
lation of our island possessions.
The two countries now fight
ing with the most important
part of the world have a COM
bined area of 469.865 square
miles. The United States has
3,616, 480 square miles, or nearly
eight times as great as the COM
bined area of the other two.
The two countries have a COM
bined population Of la, 1876. 010.
The United States has 103, 000,-
900.
With nearly eight mes the
erea of equally good land, and in
many instances much better, and
with greater mineral resources,
erea for erea, and a lesser popu-
lation. it does not require much
lea. ming in the science of econ
omics to form fairly accurate
conclus on as to what the future
wealth production will be in this
country, compared with that in
Germany and Austria-Hungary,
or in any other old world nations.
This condition shows that the
opportunities for wealth produc-
ton in the United States are
greater now than they have
been. and that they will contin-
ne, although in a somewhat de-
creasing scale, for a hundred
years or more.
The fact is that what has so
far been done in the creation of
wealth in this country has, in a.
large measure, served only to
get the country open for activi-
ties on a large scale. -McComb

sumcrs be Cut off from the supply
Monday morning and that no recon
nection be made until all rentals had
bee paid together with the prescribed
penalty of 10 per cent and the fee OF
81 which is charged for making the
turn on"
1--WE find that the delinquents from
month to month are the same water
users" Mr.. Younkman declared, 'and
| for one believe that some step
should be taken to force these people
to pay for their water promptly. They
cause us a great deal of trouble and
each month we are forced to wait for
the rents from these consumers until
we have sent men out and turned off
the water supply. thus forcing the
consumers to pay their rentals"
One Good Example.
one of the consumers, who owes
approximately $25 for rent, is said TO
be on the delinquent list each month.
and not until the supply has been cut
off from his premises does he pay his
rent.
1t is this class of delinquents that
Mr.. Younkman would like to see
forced to pay at the expiration of the
rental period instead of being forced
to turn the water off before collec-
ton can be made.
