native heath with the proud trophy.
It beenme the property of the New

put it up for competition, Rivins foreign
nations the npht to take a crack at it. '
The old-fashioned trophy was re
christened the "Amrrica's Cup," I
Since it was made an international ;
trophy and carted nway to America,
KiirIIsIi, Scotch, IrWlf and Canadian
yachtsmen have striven for it. And the
greatest of these has been Sir Thomas

classic trophy.
' "Hecause, I say. nftor that I will

know?"
This Is the famous-Irishman's fourth
efToif to lift the cup, It is the ambi
tion of his life to win that race. He
has spent n fortune already and. will
keep on till he is successful, he says.
"I have fiecn twice oll'ered u peerage
and I liuvp declined," he said recently.
"1 have nil the money u man needs
and all it will purchase. ' There is only
one cup of happiness I desire, and thai
is the America's fun,."
For his sportsmanship he lias been
entertained by emperors" and kings, ycr
B. man of more humble beginning can
scarce be imagined. They were sm

taken from school to earn less than

the village streets on the vcrdaut Isle,
nnd send tlicni on their way with "liip

He helped the Prince of Wales out of
a financial hole when the latter was
broke, it was said, by buying one nf-thc
prince's yachts. He gave it back as n
present, thereby getting n strong drag

time. ,
Upton took up the fashion, nnd it lias

The Value o a
Coal Mine
Coal mining is a business
, unto itself it involves more
,than the usual risks and
problems' of manufacturing.
Therefore ordinary apprais
als by engineers alone or
by auditors alone cannot
give full report of values or
possibilities.
The Peabody Coal Company
knows coal and coal, mining
both from the marketing as
well as the operating end.
We are one of the largest
producers of bituminotfs coal
in the country operating 28
mines, with thirteen million
tons capacity.
With our organization and 36
years' experience we furnish
banks, bond houses, trustees
or others with practical
appraisals and reports on
codl properties (hat are more
than mere theoryand figures.
We also undertake the man
agement of property where

More production and more production is the great
Yiational need now, as it was during the war.
i i
In the concerted effort of us all, lies the solution to the
great problems of today.
With greater production must go quicker distribution;
raw materials must get to the manufacturer; finished
goods to the public. Delays increase the final cost to the
consumer.
Railways, waterways and highways must all be used to
their fullest capacity. " x '
Transportation by motor truck is a great modern factor in
