Real Estate Promoter

THROUGH you may regard real
l. estate promoters as products of
modern times, the fact is one of
the greatest put over his deaP'
early in the history of this republic.
His name was Joel Barlow and he
was a lawyer, diplomat and poet,
which may account for the fact that
once his siren voice persuaded a
group of French emigrants to seek
a Garden of Eden in Ohio"
Back in 1877 two groups of land
spectators, known as the Ohio AS
sociates and the Scioto Associates,
secured the right from congress to
purchase land in the Northwest ter
ritory with the almost-worthless
Continental currency with which it
had paid off soldiers of the Revolu-
ton. Then the Scioto Associates
sent Barlow to France to dispose Of
these lands. They had nothing but
ali option on the lands but that didn't
stop Barlow.
He sold a tract of 3,000,0 900 acres
to a French Scioto company which
in turn retailed farms to peasants
and artisans who were willing to
emigrate to America. In the spring
of 1890 some 800 of them arrived
in Alexandria, Va. William Duer,
head of the Scioto Associates, was
filed with dismay for there were
neither agents to meet them nor
lands ready for them.
Foreseeing the trouble that was
ahead when hundreds more land
hungry Frenchmen arrived. Duer
hastily arranged to take over lands
of the Ohio Associates, who owed
him money. For this debt he got
nearly 100000 acres on the Ohio riv-
er opposite the mouth of the Great
KanaWha.
There he brought the Frenchmen
and in October, 1890, the town of
Gallipolis was founded. Rufus Put
nam was engaged to build their
huts for them but Duer soon found
that it would be in7EMEcib1e to full
I'll al the glowing promises which
Barlow had made-to provide good
homes and profitable occupation for
the skilled artisans among them.
By 1892 Duer had gone bankrupt,
land titles were still in a bad tangle
and the settlement of GallipoliS be-
gan to dwindle. For years there
after congress had to listen to many
a tale of woe from the victims
before their claims were settled,

An Aniti-War Prescription

IF SENATOR HIRAM JOHNSON
l. of California had never done any
other statesmanlike thing-and he's
done many one during his long
service in Washington-this country
would owe him a debt of gratitude
for that act which he put through
congress providing that America
can lend no more moneys to any
foreign government still in default
for sums previously borrowed from
us.
Can any sane man doubt that GER
tain European powers, now heav-
lily in debt to us, would not be at
one another's throats if they were
assured of financial backing by Un-
Gle Sam for their fighting. In other
words, they'd love to enjoy another
world war so long as they didn't
have to pay for it. But once in
awhile, even a born sucker takes
the cure, provided there's a Hiram
Johnson to write the prescription.

directed to his kidnaper, commend
ing his change of heart and promis-
ing to use his influence to obtain
leniency for him; and Chang also
gave out a statement admitting his
grievous fault.
These developments would seem
to have quieted down the Oriental
situation, but there is another mat
ter that threatens continued trouble.
This is the prospect that Chang
may decide to confine his attention
largely to military affairs and to
make DR.. T. V. Soong, his brother
in-law, premier. Soong, who used
to be minister of finance, stands
high among those who favor a
strong foreign policy, including re-
sistance to further encroachments
by Japan. Therefore it is easy to
see that his elevation to the pre-
miership would greatly annoy To-
kio and might easily bring about an
open, break between the two ma
tions. Since Marshal Chang is one
of those demanding war with Japan,
it is rumored that the appointment
of Soong was the specified reward
for his release of Chang and SUBJ

Overweight Generally Has But
One Cause and That
Is Overeafing.

1.-THE slim, the irritable, the
hungry woman takes on the pro-
portion of one of our minor men,
aces" says Fannie Hurst in her
amusing little book, mo Food
With My Meals" Miss Hurst is
writing frankly from her owr eX-
perience in attempting successful
ly to lose pounds. She admits
herself that although she under
took her reduction program under
the direction of the doctor, she
was not content with the COM
paratively slow results and cut
still further the low calorie diet
which the physician gave her.
1t is one of the mysteries of
life that it is much harder to
lose added. pounds than it is to
gain them. The bathroom scales,
which are now so general a part
of equipment, enable us to keep
check on weight. 1t is not so
easy for those extra pounds which
creep upon us unaware as it was
once upon a time. A few days
of dieting in time will save the
slender figure. Remember, how
ever, that, in general, the addi-
ton Of a few extra pounds with
the years is an asset. They are
usually needed to balance those
lines which the years write.
Unless there is some glandular
deficiency, overweight has but one
cause, namely, overeating. The
avoidance of more calories than
are needed for use by the body
for its own processes and for the
activity of our lives may usually
be a simple matter if there are
no between meal sweets and no
over-indulgence in bread, butter,
other fats and rich desserts with
meals. Not complete avoidance!
1t is only the second helpings that
are usually responsible for undue
weight gain. Looking out for that
pound in time will actually save
nine. Just one word of warning,

Roper Urges Census
of the UnenploYed

CECRETARY OF COMMERCE
- ROPER in his annual report
to the President and congress urged
legislation for a census of the un-
employed. 1t has been estimated
that such a census would cost be-
tween Is and IS million dollars and
would provide jobs for $4,000. Said
Mr.. Roper:
Although approximately 5000, 900
unemployed persons have obtained
gainful work since March, 1888, and
the number of unemployed is stead
lily diminishing, the federal govern
ment must cooperate with state and
local agencies and industry in max
ing work available whereby the un-
employed may provide livelihood
for themselves and their families"
Showing in his report increases in
many lines of activity over the pre-
vious fiscal year, Mr.. Roper ad-
mitted that considerable progress
must yet be made to pull the coun-
try up to the prosperity level of
1928-29. But he asserted a per cap
ita volume equivalent to that of the
prosperous years would mean a
higher aggregate, since the popula-
tion has increased about 4 per cent
in the last seven years.

Bunyan Created Lakes

Elk and Torch lakes, the beau
tiful finger lakes that stretch par
allel for miles along the shore of
Lake Michigan near Eli Rapids,
date back to the days of Paul
Bunyan, according to the old lum-
berjacks.
Lake Michigan, they say, was
scooped out by the mighty Paul,
to be used as a log pond. Instead
of skidding the logs into a stream
and floating them down to his
pond Paul would hitch onto a
section of land and drag it over
to the lake, log off the timber,
and then haul the section back.
One day Paul hooked onto a
particularly heavy timbered sec
ton near the Boardman and
started Babe, the blue OK, out to
haul it over to the lake. There
had been a heavy rain, the
ground was greasy, and Babes
feet slipped.
Torch and Elk lakes remain, an
eternal testimonial to the blue OK
and the time his feet slipped

Magnificent Failure"

TN ALL the history of missionary
work in America, there is no
more remarkable record than that
of David Zeisberger. For 63 years
he labored among the Indians and
during that time he Travelled many
thousands of danger filled miles
through the wilderness on foot and
by canoe He built no less than
l3 Indian towns as centers of Chris
tianity in a heather land and he
lived to see all but one of them
wiped out of existence. He had
failed but truly his was mag
nifcent failure"
Zeisberger was born in Moravia
in 1721 and in 1740 came to Geor-
gia where his church was organic.
ing a mission among the Greeks.
Next he was sent to Pennsylvania
where he aided Count ZinZendorf in
building the Moravian towns of Naz-
areth and Bethlehem.
Beginning his work among the
D ,laWareS at Shamokin, Pa, he
was adopted by the Munsey tribe OF
that nation. Then he went to New
York where the Six Nations made
him sachern and keeper of their
records, an unusual honor for a
white man. When the French and
Indian war began he was compelled
to return to Bethlehem because both
French and English were suspicious
that his charges were partisans.
After Pontiac's conspiracy had
been crushed in 1853 the Moravian
led his flock to Wayalusing, Pa, and
established two more missions on
the Allegheny and the Beaver. Then
the call for service beyond the Ohio
came to him and in 1772 he founded
Schoenbrunn C"Beautiful SPRING.,
tn first white settlement in the fu-
ture Buckeye state. Next the town
of Gnadenhutten was established
and an era of peace began.
But trouble was brewing for him.
although Zeisberger restrained the
Delawares from taking part in the
Revolutionary conflict, he soon
found that he was under suspicion
by both the British and the Ameri-
cans. The British stirred up the
Wyandots to break up the mission
at Schoenbrunn and its teachers
were tried as American spies. FL
nally in 1852 came the crowning
blow, when party of brutal Amer
leans committed the hideous mas
sacre of 96 Christian Indians at
Gnadenhutten. The broke1-hearted
Zeisberger started with the rem
nants of his flock on a journey
which took them first to Michigan,
then back to Ohio and finally to
Canada where he founded Fairfield
on the Thames river.
In 1898 the Moravial- Indians and
their leader came back to the Tus-
carawas river in Ohio where Zeis-
berger founded his last toWn-Gosh-

fortitude, faith and patierc ce" came
