The Biggest Undeveloped Asset

In the entire world the greatest opening for
productive business improvement is the Mississippi
river and it's navigable tributaries, with the vast
of alluval land awaiting reclamation. How
many navigable tributaries has the Mississippi? Few
could answer offhand But government engineers
answered the question long ago. The number is
twenty three hundred! The words are spelled out
that think that the figures typo
graphically inaccurate. OF course. it is known that
the Mississippi Valley raises and exports more food
than any other region on earth, with correspond
ing demand on transportation facilities. But how
far the twenty-three hundred navigabe tribu-
taries utilized for getting the maximum food supply
from the Mississippi Valley States to the seaportsp
They are scarcely used at all. And the immense
of inexhaustibly fertile lands that could be
claimed Is simply waiting, indefinitely waiting.
Nearly half the fortyeght states drained by the
Mississippi, territory stretching from Pennsylvania
to Montana. from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.
Where on the globe is there another such unim-
proved asset? II is incomparably frat, and yet
throughout the majestic Mississippi Valley there is
mighty little doing in improvement of navigation

1t may be asked why the several states have not
seen the opportunity and tried to help by helping
themselves. They have endeavored to help them
selves, and literally. Before the civil war the low:
er river states had spent over s4ooOoO0o of their
own river work. When Grant. of the most
farsighted and earnest Americans. president, he
kept the government engineers busy on the Missis-
sippi. They reported in 1875 that the lower river.

Our Debt to Chemistry

In the course of recent address on chemistry
and American industry before the Franklin Institute

Research, said that the general public has begun to

of human industry. Either directly or indirectly
chemistry applied industry effects the condi-
tons and we'll being of every American home. The
clothes wear, the food eat, the utensils with
which we prepare it, the materials of construction
with which we are housed and are transported from
place to place. the medicines which we depend in
the struggle with disease and death, are all, in one
way another, the product Of chemical industries.
1t is chemistry that has made it possible produce

modern civilization possible. 1t is chemistry that

But during the administrations of Roosevelt and
Taft the canal was begun and finished. 1t cost

Jewish New Year Talk

Rabbi Isaac L. Rypins of st. Paul visited the
prison on Friday, Sept. 26. DR. Rypins came to ad-
dress the Jewish boys on the significance and impor
tance of the Jewish New Year.
The Jewish New Year is primarily religious
holiday 1t stands for the idea Of ntrospection and
self examination and holds the idea of the infin
te possibilities of the individual soul for self-im-
provement and sef-development and self-elevation.
The Jewish New Year is considered Day of
Judgment. Each individual soul is to sit in judg-
ment over its deeds and misdeeds, to weigh its
conduct and character and to decide for itself the
decree for the future. God, the supreme Judge, de-
sres not the death of the sinner only that he repent
and live.

.MULCTED' ESTATE OF
MRS. EDDY, IS CHARGE
Attorney Alleges Loss of $751;
900 to $50, 900 a Year.

BOSTON, July 2.-Allegations that
the estate OF Mrs. Mary Baker @. Eddy
had been depleted to the extent OF
$4,000 or $4,000 a year through
methods used by the Christian Science
Publishing Society In publishing her
works were made to-day by Frank S.
Streeter, counsel for John v. Dittemore,
In the masters hearing of the suit Of the
trustees to have the directors of the
First Church Of Christ, Scientist, re-
strained from interfering with The at
fairs Of the society.
Mr.. Dittemore. who was member OF
the board of directors until deposed by
the other directors last March. Is chair
man of the board Of trustees appointed
by the New Hampshire courts to ad-
minister the residue of Mrs Eddy's
estate, amounting to more than s2.-
100000.
Mr.. Streeter said that for some years
Mrs. Eddy's works were published by
the trustees OF her estate. During that
time, he said. the residuary fund had
annually yielded a large income. In
October. 1917. these trustees contracted
with the Publishing Society to publish
the works for a period of twenty-seven
years. 1t was agreed. Mr.. Streeter said.
that the cost of publication should not
be more than It had been under the
trustees. He asserted that In spite Of
this agreement Mrs Eddy's estate had
been "mulcted out OF a large sum OF
money" by the Publishing Society.
Mr.. Streeter said that the New Hamp-
shire courts we're to make an investiga-
ton OF this matter.
