TOWNS NOT FATED TO LIVE
Communities East and West, Founded
In High Hopes, Are Now Practi-
cally Things Forgotten.

Western papers tell their readers
that the town of Emerson, Okla, is
shortly to be thing forgotten, re-
marks the Hartford Courant. 1t was
mapped out as town site shortly
after the territory was opened for set
Element. and the promoters had
dreams of metropolis In 1907 the
plan was abandoned. and now the dis
trict court has been asked to vacate
the land for town site purposes, when
what might have been a town will be-
come farm land.
The story of Emerson suggests what
came near happening to a Connecticut
town in the beginnings of the colony.
Those interested in 1t showed rare
sense in their choice of site, and in
their dreams planned not for a town
but for city. Hampden and Crom-
well were to be among its citizens; the
cream of England. so its promoters
hoped, were to become it's citizens.
Fate ordered otherwise, and the early
days of this dream town are remem-
bered now largely through Lion Gardi-
ner's account of his struggle to hold
the site against the attacks of the In
dams.
Other states, notably the mining
commemorative of the West can du-
plicate the story from Oklahoma, but
few can equal the romance of the Con-
necticut settlement.

Village Proud of War Record.

The little Norfolk village of Old
buckingham is proud Of its war rec
ord. Its total male population be-
tween the ages of eighteen and fifty
in 1914 was 264. OF that number no
fewer than TO served with the forces
and 80 have given their lives for their
country.
In their honor a memorial cross has
been erected on the village green. an
exact reproduction of the "cross OF
sacrifice" designed by Sir Reginald
Bloomfield K. A., for all British mil
itary cemeteries abroad. The total
height from the ground line to the
top Of the cross is "a feet inches.
1t Is built Of stone and the names of
those men of the village who fell in
the war are inclsed in gilt on the drum
below the base Of the cross.
The sacrifice of Old Buckingham is
typical of every British village.

lonq-lived Superstition.

We wonder whether the Turkish

If so, he would have read in Chap
ter Xl that these people (the Elem
ings of Pembrokeshire), from the in
spection of the right shoulders of rams
which have been stripped of their
flesh, and not roasted but boiled can
discover future events, or those which
have passed and remained long IN
known"
A footnote tells us that this curl
Gus superstition is still preserved in
a debased form among the descend
ants of the Flemish population of this
district, where the young women prac-
tice sort of divination with the blade
bone of a shoulder of mutton to dis

FIND MANY USES FOR PEAT
Wartorn Industry Gives Promise Of
Great Development in the
Years to Come.

The output of peat In the United
States last year far exceeded that of
any preceding year and the general
increase, which was stimulated by the
war. was shared by practically all
branches of the industry. Though ex-
tensfvely used as fuel in Europe and
widely known In the United States as
potential source Of heat and power.
peat has been unable TO compete with
coal and many peat operators have di-
rected their attention to the utilization
of peat In agriculture with gratifying
results.
Peat fertilizer was first marketed In
commercial quantities in 1908. and
stock-food peat in 1912. and though
there is still some prejudice against its
use the agricultural branch of the In
dustry has been successful and the
quantity of fertilizer and stock food
peat annually produced is increasing.
Large quantities of these products
were made last year, but the most
striking development was the produc-
ton of more peat in the New England
States than has been manufactured in
the entire United States in all preced-
ing years. Almost equally striking
was the widespread interest manifest
ed in peat resources which had been
generally regarded as of doubtful
value.
Large quantities Of peat or sphag
mum moss were produced and utilized
for stable litter, packing material, and
surgical dressing, and several hum
dred thousand acres of peat soils were
used for the growth of crops The
peat litter was produced by the own
ers of small hogs for their own use,
but the packing material was sold
to florists for .S25 a ton. According
to ], w. Hotson of the Red Cross
more than half a million peat pads
were prepared in this country for that
organization. Most of the moss was
gathered by volunteers from boys in
Washington, Oregon and Maine, and
the pads were used in military hos
pitfalls at home and abroad.

GROWTH OF HOSPITAL IDEA
Value of Such institutions in American
Eyes Is Shown by Their AS
founding Growth.

Figures in recent official report to
the United States department of la
Dor show the astounding growth of the
hospital idea in this country during
the last half-century. In 1S73-less
than 80 years agO-there were In the
. United States only $40 hospitals; to-
day there are nearly 9,100--an in
crease of nearly 5000 per cent in the
number of institutions. In 1873 the
total capacity of the then-existing hos
pitfalls was 35.453; today the hospitals
of the country have a total capacity
of approximately $4,000 beds-an in
crease of over 1000 per cent. The
amount of money at present invested
in these institutions is roughly esti-
mated at nearly $4,000. 600, 900; the an
nual expenditure for supplies, equip
ment, upkeep and new construction is
said to be about $750,O0O00O.
There is much that is gratifying in
these enormous totals. says an editori-
al in the Modern Hospital. Certain
ly, no stronger testimony could he adj
duced to show that the people of the
United States are thoroughly convert
ed to the hospital idea. and do not
mean TO be deprived of the benefits of
hospital care.
