for irrigation. The soil of deserts is
especially rich because the rains
have never washed the minerals
away from it. Hence. when such dry
land can be irrigated with either
fresh water or treated ocean water.
the soil produces most marvellous
crops Let me add here that while
land enjoying normal rainfall is con-
stantly losing its mineral and other
values. yet these minerals are being
carried down the rivers into the
oceans. which are constantly in
creasing their mineral content. MY

Suggestion 10 Real Estate Agents
Real estate offices can be Of great
benefit in community. Many real
estate offices are only order takers,
they merely rent or sell vacant
property. doing nothing constructive
themselves. Some real estate Of
fees, however, buy land and con
struct houses which they sell.
Others try TO do everything from
which they can get a dollar rather
than specialize in any one type of
business. The future of most com
is dependent upon the
people in the real estate business
These real estate people determine
whether city will stagnate. or
whether it will constantly grow.

4 number Of Americans were shocked re-

dicted that the nations railroads would
stop hauling passengers by 1868. except on
certain exceptional routes
Adding TO this opinion are the conclu-
Sions Of an official government study Of
railroad operations which was made public
recently by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission This report concludes that nothing
can be done to keep inter-cty passenger
trains from disappearing from the Ameri-
can scene.
The conclusions in the government study
indicate that passenger trains may have
disappeared from the scene by 1870. Since
1917, which was a year Of postwar travel
and stil-scarce automobiles, the railroads
have been on the decline. In the last session
OF Congress aid was extended to them but

Poetry makes an imaginative de-

yield to the poets spell and follow
him into the realm OF the imagt-
nation. To refuse to do this, and to
treat the poets flights as matter
of-fact statements would be dis
astrous in the extreme. This is the
most familiar distinction in litera-
fure. in which poetry and prose
are basic categories, never to be
confused. since they reflect differ
ent attitudes Of mind.

Poe invented darkness. Edgar Al

Among the statistics which lead TO this
conclusion iS the lost Of S725.O00OO0 on
passenger operations in 1857. Freight haul
ing Was 4 profitable operation. but much Of
the profit from these operations was used
to counter the deficit realized in passenger
operation.
SO it seems that the passenger train -

probably survive much longer. for distances
there are shorter trains better designed
