SIZING UP NATIONS WEALTH
Middle Atlantic States Have Largest
Income, With Nevada at the End
Of the List.

What Is the richest part OF the Unit
ed States-the richest, that Is, In the
sense Of having the largest income?
Probably most people would have no
difficulty In answering this question.
That the Middle Atlantic states nave
the largest amount OF liquid cash
would naturally be expected from their
great population and Industrial devel-
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 $9O00,OOO,O00, leads all the rest,
whereas Nevada, with $650OOOOO,
brings up at the tail Of the procession.
The figures have recently been COM
piled by DR.. Wesley 9. 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 a 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-
pliers would incline to the latter view.
And in this regard the Pacific states
have a slight advantage over the Mid
die Atlantic-$796 as compared with
1878. Yet New York state, with an
average income per person Of 1914, is
still at the head of the list.
This study also discloses niS earn
ings of farmers, which, in some parts
of the country, are high-as incomes
20. In 1919 farmers in the Pacific
states averaged $500 a year and in
the West North Central states, $1,000"
The few remaining agriculturists
who are attempting to scratch living
from the discouraging hills Of New
England are obliged to content them
selves with 81, 100, while Alabama and
Mississippi yield their farmers less
than 5000 a year.-WOrld's Work.

Comparatively New Game.

The history of the game of rack
cts, the worlds championship of
which was recently disputed in New
York, is a comparatively short one,
for it only came into vogue early in
the Nineteenth century. Dickens re-
fers to it In his "Pickwick Papers
in connection with Fleet prison, where
insolvent debtors enlivened the mo-
notony of their life by playing
against a single wall It was mostly
played at the back of tavens.
The name is supposed TO have been
derived from the Arabic ra'hat, mean.
ing pain &C the hand" but fives is
the only near survival of that form
of the game.

FOOTPRINTS 10 identity Babes.

New York.-The footprint method
of identification of babies that is to
be urged in a bill before the legisla-
ture was shown to be already in effect
ut the New York Nursery and Child's
hospital when John r. Howard, super
intendent, offered to the police de-
partment the collection of 5000 babies
footprints recorded at the institution.
It is said to be the largest collection
Of infant footprints in the world.
They are taken after the birth OF
the child and are used as a guaranty
to the mother that her baby cannot be
exchanged.

HIa speech nsIt Down, bowl"


Hitherto the proceedings of the Fill
pino legislature have been in Tagalog
or in Spanish, although English is
technically an official language.
But the last election returned to
the legislature a number of young
men educated in English schools in
the Philippines or in the United
States They are intent upon break
ing up the Spanish-speaking tradition
of the older generation of Filipino
public men, who received their early
training under the Spanish regime.
Therefore, quite a sensation was
caused in the gallery of the house re-
Gently when English was used for the
first time in debate. The speech was
admirable in point of brevity, and can
be reported in full. It was addressed
by one Of the members to a colleague

That Flagstaff was even at that
time hustling town and attracting
statewide attention is shown by the
following good boost from the Will
cox News:
"The people of Flagstaff are not
sitting dreamily by and letting things
do themselves. In fact she is one of
the most lively little cities in northern
Arizona, and hardly week passes by
but what a public meeting or two is
held for the purpose of talking over
some new project. Just now they
The Coconino sun., 1923-05-18

have under consideration the estab-
lishment of water works system, a
scheme to have the Arizona Chautau-
qua locate its summer encampment
there, building race track and the
establishment Of a fair. One thing is
plainly noticeable at these meetings,
which is that all her citizens stand
as unit for the good of the town,
which alone makes all these things
possible. When citizens do this they
can do anything they undertake, while
on the contrary, pulling in opposite di-
rections makes a failure of any un-
dertaking, however meritorious. Flag
staff has the making Of Arizona's
leading summer resort, and knowing
it, she acts accordingly"
Among the editorial notes we find:
The editor has been seriously i'll for
the past three weeks; from the ex-
pressions of the press Of southern
Arizona, it is evident that the people
of the south are coming to Flagstaff
to celebrate the Fourth this year; Co
coniro county offers great and varied
inducements to the Industrious immi-
grant who comes to make home;
Flagstaff building stone will enter
largely into building the city hereaf-
ter and some enterprising individual
should start a stone yard here; as a
summer. resort Prescott has nothing
to offer as compared to Flagstaff,
the summer climate of Flagstaff is
pretty hot and in scenic attractions
the vicinity Of Prescott offers nothing
extraordinary; this is the busiest
spring in Flagstaff for years.
