SIZING UP NATIONS WEALTH
Middle Atlantic ssates -HaVe Largest
Income, WIKI Nevada at the End
VI the List.

What is the richest part Of the Unit
ed States-tie richest, that Is, Ia the
sense OF having the largest income?
Probably most people would have no
difficulty In answering this question.
That the Middle Atlantic states have
the largest amount Of liquid cash
would naturally be expected from their
great population and Industrial deyel-
opment And from this standpoint the
Middle Atlantic states are the most
prosperous, and, as would be expected
New York, with an income Of more
than $00OO,000,000, leads all Ia rest,
whereas Nevada, with S6560OOO,
brings up at the tall OF the procession.
The figures have recently been com
piled by DR.. Wesley c. Mitchell and
published by the National Bureau Of
Economic Research.
Yet there is another way in Which
to gauge prosperity and perhaps, upon
the whole, it is more satisfactory
test, That IS the per capita distribu-
ton. Is that section the richest which
has the largest aggregate income or
that in which the individual income is
the largest? Probably most philoso-
piers would incline to the latter view.
And in this regard the Pacific states
have a slight advantage over the Mid
die. Atlantic-$79G as compared with
1913. Yet New York state, with an
average income per person Of $Sl4, is
stIll ut the head Of the list.
This study also discloses the earn
ings of farmers, which, in some parts
of the country, are high-as incomes
go. In 1919 farmers in the Pacific
states averaged $500 year and in
the West North Central states, $2,3OO.
The few remaining agriculturists
who are attempting to scratch a living
from the discouraging hills Of New
England are obliged to content them
selves with SLIGO, while Alabama and
Mississippi yield their farmers less
than $500 a year.-Worlds Work.

THE COMMON
RUN
BY DOUGLAS MALLoCH

T CANNOT hope to shake your hand,
4 Friend Reader here and there,
And yet 1 think we understand
Each other pretty fair:
You're just the common kind like me.
And l am just like YOU
We have our troubles two or three,
And have our work TO do.
We look on lIfe's old-fashloned ways,
Although we are not old,
And think the truth Of early days
Good truth to which to hold:
There's nothing right on earth but
right,
And wrong Is always wrong,
And black Is black and white is white,
The same as all along.
We haven't read the latest proof
There isn't any Cod
We, narrow-mlnded, keep aloof
And stay on old sod.
We're ignorant of cults and creeds,
And creeds that knock them fiat;
We Judge of people by their deeds
Aud let 1t 90 at that
We think that laughter beats a tear,
That hOnesty's the test;
We live the day, and thus the year,
And try to do our best.
We've had some grief, hurt or so,
But had lot of fun
l guess, If we could really know,
We're just the common run.

Something TO
Think Ab0ut
YOUR WORST ENEMY
By T. Il. WALKER

IF YOU will make searching and
L an impartial investigation of the
matter, you will discover that your
worst enemy is right at your elbow,
seeking at crucial moments of your
life to oppose your good efforts and
circumvent your cherished plans.
He is beside you in the morning
when the gray light of dawn heralds
the coming sun, biding an opportunity
to strike you in q vital spot; he puts
his arm in yours as you hurry down
to the breakfast table, seeking to win
your confidence; he passes with you
through the street doorway as you
HE away to your daily vocation, and
if something has gone amiss in the
dining room, he snuggles up closely
and begins to whisper in your always
willing ear especially chosen words
Of sympathy, telling you how you are
imposed upon by others, to whom you
should resentfully reply.
BY the time you reach your desk,
your place behind the counter, your
chair before the typewriter your
bench, or whatever estate you may
occupy in the tower Of toll, you are
In a decidedly uncomfortable mood
And you have only to lcOk around
you to become irritable, Quarrelsome
and obdurate at another nudge from
your Fostering enemy, who seems rea-
sonably sure that before the day is
over you will hurl out a volley OF
fiery vocables scowl at the manager,
which is becoming habit, and re-
turn to your home at night with an
ger, disguised with your intimates
and with yourself as well.
Nothing seems right. You are sure
that nobody can be trusted. You are
suspicious of manifest kindness and
unSelfish intentions.
You are positive that those who
proffer them are scheming for some
terrible purpose, trying by friendly
overtures in pleasant words and of
ferS of assistance, to take some meSn
advantage Of you.
And this is the madness that gen
orally leads to your undolng-the mad
ness that your worst enemy, if per-
mitted to work upon your sensibili-
ties without restraint invariably pro-
duceS.
If you will sit yourself down com
poSedly, at the end of trying day,
and reflect seriously, you may with
but little difficulty guess who this enc
my is. If guessing should be too irk-
some, in the mood you are, raise your
eyes to the mirror across the room
and you will see in the polished glass
your own perturbed self-your worst
enemy

CANNOT MASTER SHORTHAND
Men of Acknowledged Ability Have
Failed in Efforts to Learn Even
Simple Systems.

Lord BeaEerbrook, speaking at the
annual prize-giving of Pitman's school
at the Royal Albert hall, says the Lon
don Morning Post, said that it was IA
curious fact that some men Of great
ability had failed in the attempt to
learn shorthand.
He mentioned that lord Carson was
one example, and the present prime
minister another 1t was not a ques-
tion of eleverhess, or even of men,
DRY. BOnar Law possessed an eXtraor-
binary memory. When he first became
leader of the conservative party, it
was his habit on the occasion of any
great set debate in the house of coHl-
mons to dictate to his secretary the
speech that he intended to make. He
would read it through, and then go
down to the house and repeat it with
scarcely the alteration Of a word. He
would sometimes quote long mathe-
NAUTICAL calculations entirely from
memory. yet he confessed to having
striyen very hard to learn shorthand,
and without success.
T. NJ HeaIy, now the governor gen
eral Of the Irish Free State, used to
make use of shorthand in tbs dc
bates.--New York Tribune.

But the last election returned to
