DISASTROUS FOREST
FIRES ARE CHECKED
SCENES OF DESTRUC TION
THROUGHOUT REGIONS.
OVER 5000 HOMELESS.

COBALT Ont.-Heavy rains have
quenched the fire swept area, and tenn
porary relief has been provided for the
homeless, estimated at Approximately
5000. The number of known dead is
%, and will possibly reach 90.
The relief party today visited En-
glchart, New Liskard, Heaslip, Charl-
ton, Thronloe and carlton Junction.
Scenes of Destruction.
AS the train pulled over the I'M
steady tracks, upon charred ties into
town after town, the sight was APP
pallingly the same. Smoulderng ruins
brick or stone chimney stacks totter-
ing over cellar spaces filled with black
ened timbers marked what was a
town.
Sooty faced men and women gath
cred eagerly about the track when the
relief train came and in most cases
somebody on board was obliged to
ask the name of the place, for signs
and once familiar buildings had been
swept away in the tide OF fame which
had passed this way scant "a hours
before. Such was the scene at Thorn
loe. Haileybury and Heaslip.
In Charlton only one house was
left standing.
Englehart's experience was similar
to that of Cobalt. The fire started in
the northwest corner of the town and
was driven by the wind directly to-
ward the depot Women and children
were loaded on freight cars and the
engine with steam up was able to pull
the train out when the wind shifted
almost completely around the COM
pass, just as it did in Cobalt. Twenty
FIVE residences extending in fanshape
from the corner of the town which
the fire first invaded were destroyed,
and that was all. Nothing but the shift
OF the wind could have saved Engle-
hart.

THREE ATTEMPTS TO
WRECK S. A. [. TRAIN
TIRES ARE FOUND ON TRACK
IN TIME TO AVOID SERI-
GUS ACCIDENTS.

AMERICUS, Ga.-Three attempts
to wreck train on the Seaboard Air
Line, all within the past week, have
aroused authorities to point where
they are determined to solve a mys-
terv that has them completely baAled.
Twice on Monday and again Tuesday
special agents of the road found ties
across the track in such position
that a wreck surely would have fol
lowed had a train travelling rapidly
come into contact with them. The
point for all three attempts was on
the Seaboard Air Line about a mile
west of the city.
No Trace of Wreckers.
Investigation has so far revealed no
trace OF those who have been making
the attempt. The attempts have been
made in daylight and the 1890 train
from Montgomery struck tie and
dragged it 100 feet before the engine
could be stopped. The fact that it was
placed lengthwise on the track was
all that prevented serious wreck.

In Great Forest Fire in the Northwest

of Swift & Co., who was badly burn
ed about the arms and hands
Soon after midnight George w. Lee,
chairman of the Temiskaming &
Northern Ontario railway, issued this
statement concerning the fire now rag
ing in the north country;
5000 Are Homeless.
"Over five thousand people have
been rendered homeless. The loss Of
life is considerable and is mounting.
Three trains with twenty-four cars
containing | 400 refugees have left Co.
bait for North Bay. Other trains are
being prepared as rapidly as possible.
The property loss will obviously
run into millions of dollars. The fire
is still burning briskly, famed by a
subsiding wind
The destruction OF both life and
property is the greatest ever known
in many similar catastrophes. Scenes
of devastation and suffering extended
over a wide area, and conditions are
pitiful. Everything possible is being
done to relieve the victims.

THE WORLD FAMOUS
PASSION PLAY ENDS
OBERAMMERGAU'S WONDER
Full SPECTACLE SEEN BY
$4,000. SCORN FILMDOM.

Her passion play over, her crowds
of tourists gone and her shops sold
bare of souvenirs Oberammergau,
Germany, has slipped back into anoth-
er decade of peace and quiet. A few
DAYS of rest and the actor villagers
will busy themselves in restoring the
hamlet to its every day appearance.
The task will be made easier by the
fact that some $4,000 visitors came to
see the passion play this season and
left millions of marks which the vii
lage can devote to Improvement pur-
poses The gross receipts OF the play
itself were some 20,000,00 marks, the
sale of books and photographs netting
100000 in addition Other millions
were spent in the village shops and
restaurants.
Gave Sc Performances.
Altogether 90 performances were
given this wear since the dress re-
hearsal on May 9th. Beginning on
MAY 18th there were 81 scheduled per-
formances, besides 80 extra public pre-
sensations given on account OF the
lGdNN uClldIu lOl SNdlo, anu wv tRN
cial play days for catholic organiza-
tons
In 1910 only 81 performances were
given and the attendance was far less,
the seating capacity at that time be-
ing considerably smaller. Figures are
not yet available to show the seasons
attendance by nationalities, but up to
the end of August $4,000 Americans
had visited the play.
Now that the approximately SUI
performers are allowed to settle back
and rest after their arduous labors of
the last five months, the news that
S1.000,000 has been offered for the
privilege of filming the play meets
with a rather cool reception among
the rank and file of the villagers.
One Mishap Among Visitors.
The elders, especially, express re-
sentiment at the proclamation they
feel would be committed were the deal
to be completed. Even those who over
look the sentimental considerations
oppose the proposition on the ground
that Oberammergau would be robbed
of its unique attraction abroad, espe-
cially if the film were used to copy
the production for performance else
where.

100000 Refugees From Asia Minor

SHORTAGE OF LABOR
ALARMS INDUSTRIES
UNEMPLOYMENT, EXCEPT FOR
CLERICAL HELP, NO LONGER
EXISTS. CALL FOR MEN.

The unemployment Of few months
ago has completely vanished, accord

department of labor, and in its place
has come a. dearth of skilled and I'M
skilled workers which is alarming
great industrial centers throughout the
country.
A survey of the industrial situation
shows there is virtually no unemploy-
!nent in the United States and that
the number of men out on strike has
dwindled to the lowest figure since
the war. Reports to the department OF
labor disclose that, except for the tex
tile and transportation workers, there
is not a single strike in the United
States today involving as many as
1000 persons. Such a record has not
been approached for years.
One of the surprising elements OF
the situation is the nationwide short
age of common labor, despite the in
crease in wages which has been re-
ands OF common laborers could be put
to work at once in Philadelphia, Pitts
burg, Chicago and other large cities
if such labor were available.
The lumber interests on the Pacific
coast can't get enough skilled or un-
skilled workers to fill al the orders
which the yhave. Farmers, particular

PROHI AT ITS WORST
BETTER THAN LICENSE
DECLARES CLARENCE TRUE
WILSON TO METHODISTS.
CONDITIONS IN CHICAGO.

PRINCETON, I1l-Prohibition at
its worst is better than license at its
best, declared Clarence True Wilson,
secretary of the board of temperance,
prohibition and public morals of the
Methodist Episcopal church in report
ing a FIVE months survey by that
board OF conditions in Chicago. 1t was
made to the Rock River Methodist
conference.
Secretary Wilson said that Chicago
was selected for this study because
it was desired to uncover prohibition
at its worst" The committee compar-
ed wet and dry years in their relation
to crime, welfare and relief, health,
thrift and prosperity and general lus-
mess conditions In each case, he said,
the advantage was shown to exist
since the advent of prohibition days.
The effect upon crime alone fully
iustifes the policy of prohibition in
Chicago" the report states. AT the
same time, a note of alarm must be
sounded. Current crime statistics
plainly reveal that the wet propaganda
intended to incite uniformed or evil
minded people to violation OF the pro-
hibition law and to the consumption
OF liquor is having an effect. Good re
suits, so noticeable at first, are being
modified
The report cites statistics OF the
medical superintendent OF the House
Of Correction, who stated that in 1913
.345 cases Of acute alcoholism were re-
ported and in 1921 this number de-
creased to Of. Chronic alcoholism cas-
es in 1918 totaled LOLA and dropped
to III in 1921. Three cases of delir-
ium tremens were reported in 1921 as
compared with 100 in 1918.
Employers OF labor throughout the
city almost invariably declare that pro-
hibition has increased efficiency, de
creased absenteeism, and improved
the general physical condition OF the
men. The real estate situation has
been distinctly helped"

THE BIGGEST COTTON
FARM $4,000 ACRES
IS LOCATED IN MISSISSIPPI,
AND is ONE OF THE SHOW
PLACES OF THE SOUTH.

The biggest cotton farm in the
world is that under the management
OF Mr.. ]. w. Fox at Scott, Mississip-
pi OF a plantation of some $4,000
acres in cultivation-36,000 acres in all
there are $4,000 acres in cotton The
balance is under process of rebuilding,
in pasture, in hay or other feed crops.
1t was our privilege to visit this plan
tation the last days of July and to ride
over it with Professor Fox himself,
SAYS the Cotton Planter. This farm is
one OF the great show places OF. the
south, and what is to be seen there
is of the utmost Importance TO every
cotton grower Of the entire belt. What
ever the cost of a visit to this place
any cotton farmer can afford it.
There can be no doubt that the boil
weevil and his work is one Of our
most important agricultural problems.
He is not the whole thing, but until
he is under control he will head list
OF obstacles i'll the way of economic
production of maximum crops OF cot
ton. The work at Mr.. Fox's place
has especial bearing on the solution
of this problem.
Wonderful Uniformity of Plants.
Cotton at the Fox place is growing
on fields that range from the worn
soils brought into cultivation some
thing like a century ago to fields that
were in woods-heavily timbered
woods-last winter. Driving through
these thousands of acres we were i'm
pressed with the wonderful uniformi-
ty of the plants, the good stand, and
the fact that all the fields were bloom
ing up to the top of the plants-and
this in spite OF Il inches OF excess
rain that came in April, May and
Tune, during the planting season and
at the heights of the cultivating sea
son. Boil weevils have been on hand
and in all OF these fields would have
gotten in their most complete work
except for the use of calcium arsenate.
By the end of the season at cost OF
slightly more than So per acre Mr..
Fox had busted 100 tons of this
material on his fields. The weevils are
under perfect control, and there IS
three quarters of bale of cotton to
the acre. What we saw on this farm
is enough to make any man who will
take the time to go there and see tor
himself enthusiastic about the future.
