OCEAN CASTS UP OLD SHIP
Rockaway Beach Uncertain--May Be Historic Pirate.

Rockaway Beach has another sensa- content with washing up hundreds of thousands of crabs, Holsters and clans, the great tide recently dug an ancient oceanic relic out of the sands and left it to bleach in a winters sun, like some skeleton of departed dinoSaur. According to Capt. Joseph Meade of the Rockaway coast guard station, it is an old sloop O war.
 Nobody knows it's history. From all appearances this washed out corpse in an ocean graveyard was once saucy war vessel, mounting nine guns, in- cluding the old time bow chaser that used to bark with ferocity at pursuing vengeance.
 The ship Is bluff-bowed, her spikes are handwrought, her ribs are of stout oak and her bowsprit, broken short at the cap. Is a mighty headstone on a sandy grave.
 The old salts who are experts on such matters say the buried hull is an old British sloop. During the war of 1872 privateers manned by adven- , turous Yankees frequently hung about Jones' inlet towing in their prizes for , anchorage and running to shelter when British men-o'-war, out for re- venge, bore down upon them. Another tradition unearthed from the old shippers of clipper ships, now come to anchor on the Rockaway shores, has 1t that Capt. Jones, for whom Jones' inlet was named, at one time just prior to the Revolutionary war, pursued a profitable trade in con- traband in the vicinity, unknown to the British customs. The handwrought spikes and the general shape of the rotting wreck plainly indicate that she was an oldtimer, very likely of Revolutionary times.

VjIIaue Within Extinct Volcano.

Village Within Extinct Volcano.
 "Bottom" is the paradoxical name of little village perched on the peak of mountain which comprises the island of Saba, in the Caribbean sea. No other spot in the world is quite like Saba; of all the islands of the tropical seas, 1t Is the strangest, the most forbidding. Sheer conical, frown- ing, this island rises from the waves its topmost pinnacle yelled in drifting clouds 5000 feet above the sea, its coast rock-bound and precipitous. It is seldom sighted by ships, but those who do pass it would never dream that 1t was inhabited.
 The mountain is an extinct volcano and the town of Bottom rests in its crater. No harbor breaks Saba's coast; there is no safe landing place or anchorage, and if one would visit the town one must step ashore from a small boat and climb a steep stairway of hundreds of stone steps or toll up a narrow, difficult trail. Every article brought to Saba from the outside world must be carried up the heights. The inhabitants are sailors, as they have been since the earliest times, and though they sail the seven seas they always return to their island home.

RED MEN FLOURISH
Idea That Indians Are Dying Out
 Is Erroneous.
Probably the Race Is Scarcely Less Numerous Today Than When Co., Iunfbus Landed on the
 Shores of America.

Despite popular belief that the civ
 ilization forced upon him by the white
 man means his ultimate extinction, the
 North American Indian, reviving from h long period of decadence. has shown such substantial increase in popula-
 ten in recent years that he probably
 is scarcely less numerous today than
 when Columbus discovered America.
 Startling as this assertion may be
 to those who have pictured American
 forests in the discoverer's time as
 swarming with red men, 1t Is freely
 advanced by experts of the govern
 rnpnt's Indian bureau, who maintain
 that the Indian necessarily formed
 an exceedingly scant population which
 Irobably at no period materially ex-
 ceeded the total of 333, TOP Indians re-
 ported by the bureau for last year.
 "The Indian no longer Is to be
 thought of as a dying race" declared
 Dr. Lawrence w. White, an Indian au-
 thority of the bureau. ''In support of
 that statement 1t Is necessary, in the
 first place, to disabuse the public
 mind of the tradition handed down by discoverers and early colonists that
 American forests in their day swarmed
 with the dusky figures of the red man. As the Indian neglected agriculture almost completely. 1t Is highly i'm probable that this country, consider ing its latitude, could have supported more than several hundred thousand of Ifs race."
 "On the other hand" Doctor White continued, "the Indian in the present day, after periods of sharp decrease following as a natural reaction to sud- den contact with the civilization of
 the white man, is seen to be making
 substantial gains in population. "While many estimates or guesses
 of the Indian population were made
 during the past century," said Doctor Whi'e, ranging from less than 1OO,.
 600 to 100000, the first reliable cen sus was made by the Indian bureau in
 1870, when the population was placed at ?15,712. So figures demonstrate
 that in the last 50 years the Indian population has made substantial net gain"
 Pointing to statistics which show an excess of births over deaths of 1,522 in 1916, and almost as great an ex cess in 1917, normal years which were
 no, affected by the epidemic of in fluenza, Doctor White declared these figures fully reflected the generosity of government that has increased it's Indian health appropriation alone | flom S4O.OOO in 1911 to $35O0OO ir | 1917 and subsequent years" They demonstrate, he said that with the
 schools. hospitals and other advan' tages now provided for them, the In dian, be he tribesman or freedman is mot a dying race, but rather 8 fuurishing one." Had he been treat | ed as other nations have treated sav age tribes, Doctor White concluded there probably would not be a ives tjge of the race within our republic l today"

commodity, labor, the farmers may at
tempt to do for the purpose of con-
trolling price and distribution of their
commodities. If they succeed, they
will have the other trusts beaten by
miles. A national farmers wheat
trust, meat trust, corn trust, cheese
trust, butter trust, egg trust, wool
trust and hide trust is as possible under
intelligent leadership and proper finan-
cling as is the coal trust and the steel
trust. A gigantic corporation of farm
ers controlling the different types of
farm produce is matter of brains and
money. The old trusts have shown the
way and worked out the method of or
ganization and administration. There
has been a general confidence that
farmers could not thus organize; there
are too many of them, has been the
claim, and they can not stick together.
1t must be admitted that to form such
farmer trusts will be more difficult and
involve greater chances of failure than
confronted the great trusts organized
by limited number of men, but past
failures need not constitute absolute
failure. The advantage OF having a
perfectly workable pattern is theirs.
That movement is launched by the
agricultural interests of the country
which may upset our notion as to what
part the farmer may play in our econ
omic and commercial life, can not be
doubted. Whether it will succeed de-
ponds upon how well the American
farmer is disciplined for mass move
ment of this magnitude.

This economic waste is due to too many
dealers handling the milk industry in
the same city. The Division of Mar
kets has conducted an investigation of
the distribution of milk in Milwaukee
and has found that outside of the waste
in delivery there are many other I'M
necessary expenses in milk distribu-
ton. All this waste could be eliminat-
ed by concentrating the entire milk
business in the hands of one concern.
The lack of storage and warehouses
for certain farm products is another
example of lack of system in distri-
button. In potato investigation, the
Division of Markets found that the lack
of warehouses for storing potatoes in
the consuming centers is directly re-
sponsible for the high prices in certain
seasons. AS a remedy for this situa-
ton, the Division of Markets recon-
mends the establishment of municipal
warehouses in the consuming. centers.
The second cause of the high cost of
living is the migration from the coun-
try to the city and the concentration of
immigrants in large cities. This mi
grafton is due to the inaccessibility of
the land to the man of small means.
The initial capital required is large,
which is due chiefly to the high price
of land. On the other hand, the return
upon his investment which the farmer
receives is lower than from other in
vestments. A large part of the uncul-
tivated arabic land has been bought up
and held for speculative purposes. The
holding of land without making use of
it should be made Improbable. A large
migration at the present time from the
city to the country is not desirable.
What should be done is to make access
sible to all those who are now
disposed to leave the farms, such as
sons of farmers, farm hands and ten
ant farmers, the available uncultivated
land.
The worst and most harmful example
of disorganization in distribution is the
manipulation of prices by private in
terests which have the control of the
market. The result is an elimination
of much econmic waste. There is dam
ger, however, that with the concentra.
ton of branch of industry in the
hands of one or several private parties
they will get control of the market and
control of prices. To obviate this diff
ficulty it is important to have federal
supervision and regulation over all
those branches of distribution which
are in the hands of limited number of
individuals, such as the packing plants
and the sugar and wool industry.

Causes of I'll. C.. L.

VIM. ]. Anderson of the Division of
Markets says:
According to the conclusions of the
Market Division thus far reached the
two fundamental causes of the high
cost of living are:
l. Lack of system in the marketing
and distribution of commodities, and
2. Migration from the country to
the city.
AS to the first of these it is interest
ing to note that in the years of high
production before the war there was a
continual rise in the price of commodi-
ties. Production had been we'll organ
lied and highly efficient while distribu-
ton had always been lacking in system
and organization. This is due to the
fact that the country has been grow
ing very rapidly and that in the contin-
ual furry of production insufficient at
tention was given to organizing the
methods of distribution.
AS population grew and free land
gradually disappeared, the defects in
the economic system began to show
themselves. People began to notice
and to wonder that with the increase
of production the profits of the farmer
were reduced and the prices for the
consumers were increased. The mid
dleman was blamed for this sad state
of affairs. Farmers movements were
started to organize the farmers of the
country to eliminate the middleman.
"Middleman" usually has been under
stood to include all those who do not
take direct part i'm the production of
goods, but only in the transfer of the
products from the producer to the con-
sumner. Such are commission houses,
elevator companies, packing plants and
railroads. The fact which the people
who made these complaints overlooked
was that the middleman, whether as
an individual or as a corporation, takes
a necessary and important part in dis
tribution. Goods would be useless to a
great extent if they could not be trans
ferred to places where they are needed
or stored for the time when they are
needed.
While the middleman is an important
factor in distribution, his activities lack
system and result in disorganized dis
tribution. The Division holds it OF
great Importance to focus the atten-
ton of the public to the lack of organ
ization in the middieman's services.
With this purpose in view, three of the
most important examples of this disor.
ganization have been selected: O du.
plication of services in distribution, ~
lack of storage and warehouses, ano
90 existence of monopolies.
The best illustration of the duplica.
ton of services is the distribution Of
milk. Anyone who has lived in large
city must have noticed the many milk
wagons which pass the same block.
