Mr. Hill Thinks the Government Should Build Two Lets Battleships Year and With the Money Saved Start 1,000 Agricultural Colleges nd Model Farm Close and Care ful Cultivation Can Best Be Done on Small Farm. "Whiit Shall We Do to Be Fed?" Is the title of an article In the cur rent issue of The World's Work, by jHmes J. H1U, builder of the railroads in the Northwest, who adds the sub caption, "Rlsln? prices of bread and a food shortage already begun In a land of plenty; the way to feed our coming millions." Mr. HIM mnkes some novel sugges tions, chief of which Is that the Unit ed States governWfll should build fewer battlcjrand establish more model fnjpnd agricultural Bchools. "While we are spending great sums to transform worthless lands Into or chards and gardens by the work of the Reclamation Service," he says, "we ft Hi retaltC5 other areas the land laws under which for so many years the great heritage of the people has been passing so largely into unworthy hittidi;. "For the sake of our national fu ture, for tr-e siike of the coming mil lions who will be helpless unless each can be furnished with a piece of till able land as a defense against misfort une, we should see that the specula tive abuses which these laws have fostered are brought to an end. "It should not be possible to obtain public land of any kind anywhere in the United States henceforth except after complying with all the terms of a homesteid law. I cannot urge too strongly upon every man who wishes his country well and who desires all to be prosperous In order that he may prosper with tnem, the lmiortancc and growing necessity of taking such care of our public domain as shall preserve the remnant of it for the use of generations yet unborn. "Such close and careful cultivation as will yield the highest profit an acre can best- be given to hind when it is cultivated in comparatively small farms. The greater the number of prosperous farmers the grenter will be the prosperity of every business man. "The armed fleets of an enemy ap proaching our harbors would be no more alarming than the relentless ad vance of a day when we shall have neither sutllclent food nor the means to purchase It for our population. The farmers of tho nation must save it In the future, Just as they built its great ness in the past." LITTLE FIGHT AT SALAMIS Big Warships Joined In Attack on the Mutineers. There was a sharp little fight at Salamis on Friday, wlilcn, as the big warships remained loyal and Joined In the attack on the mutineers, ended in the discomfiture of Lieuten ant Typaldos, the rebel leader. At about 4 o'clock field artillery opened fire from the heights of Scaramanga on the torpedo boats in the harbor. The latter replied, whereupon the large warships took a hand against the rebels. There was a sharp exchange of shells, and for a time matters were very lively. The arsenal building wat. hit and the new torpeflo bom destroy er Sphendone, built m England In 1907, being struck by a shell, was im mediately hidden in a cloud of steam and smoke. During the firing three of the tor pedo boat3 gradually withdrew from action stern first, and twenty min utes after the first Bhot was fired all the mutineers had taken shelter be hind the headland at the entrance of the harbor. The firing then stopped. The arsenal Is now In the hands of the government, which is co-operating with the military league ashore. Lieutenant Typaldos seems to have no sympathizers In the army. The population of Athens are in a Btate of the greatest excitement but the city Is orderly. WINGS FOR EVERYONE SOON New Jersey Scientist Prophesies Gen eral Use 'of "Skycycle."

"Why not manufacture wings some thing on the order of those of birds and have them controlled by the leg muscles of the human being?" asked Frofessor Nelson. "Scientists have been giving this much thought and I prophesey that within a short time people will be able to go Into the air any time they want to.

The editor of El Kaskabel of Guadal ajara, out of the leading papers of Mexico, attended the Diaz-Taft meet lng at El Paso and published an edl- torial which is causing much comment In official circles of that country. He Bays: "Remembering the excursion of the white squadron through all the seas, an excursion that cost millions of dol lars and was solely an extravagance of ostentation to acquaint the world with the wealth of the Yankee, I had hoped that the executive, Taft, would bring to the frontier a regiment of soldiers splendidly dressed, a good battery of artillery and a resplendent staff. But no, senor, there was indeed a sad contrast. "While our president went adorned in his grnnd uniform of a general, made in Paris at a cost of 25,000 francs, President Taft wore a BUit that did not seem to be his own, due to its looseness, his collar was wilted by perspiration, and there was not the slightest impression of elegance. He went in a coach (It might have been one of public hire) while our president rode in a splendid landau, and the sol diers, the Mexicans, were in gala dress with well polished shoes and well bruehed clothes. Those of our neighbors were In leggings, yellow shoes, khaki clothes and what Is the worst of all, in undershirts. "How shall this American neglige be interpreted? Was it to make evi dent the freedom of the Yankee? Was it to contrast the simplicity of the opulent with the splendor of the1 poor? Or might it not have been to signify the little importance that they con ceded to the ceremonies?" ORDER FOR WAGE INCREASE Pittsburg and Lake Erie Surprises 3,000 Men. Officials at the Pittsburg office of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie raIlroadiave issue! circulars to their 3,000 laborers annovneing that when they draw theri pay Nav. 1 for October work, they will rec?lve pay on a basis of $1.65 a day Instead of $1.59.

Returning prosperity prompted the officials to grant the Increase. $1C0 In Pennies Result of Holdup.

In Hit Speech at the Fair Grounds the President Congratulated Mississippi on Being Able to Restrain Tendency of Young Men to Go Into Big Cities. Ex-Governor Vardaman Called to 8ee the President Wine Drinker Won at Taft Banquet. Jackson, Mirs., Nov. 2. With Ncv Orleans behind him Presljen: Taft is on the last leg of his long Journey. He has nine days more in the South ern states, but he already has seen nough of the South to eimbl-j him to say that his two months study of con ditions throughout the country is practically finished. The Impressions that he has gathered from the (rip were sumirarl:ed by him in a speech here. He said: "I have gone from the Atlantic to the Pacific ocean, down the Pacific coast to the southwest corner of the country, through the territories end that great domain of Texas to St. l-iouls, down the Mississippi to New Or leans, and I have made (the Lord for give me and the Lord help those who have heard me) 200 odd speeches I'l.d I have survived the heaving of 200 more and I am able to say that we never in all our country's history were as homogeneous a people, as closely allied In all our hopes ind ambitions, and In all our pride of country and patriotism as ve are today. "It is possible that there are corners in this country that havj escaped mo wheie there is discontent, hut if so I have not found them. In every town, I have almost said every hamlet, in every city and county, in every state I have found the individual sayl'ig to himself: -I am contended here because I know Unit I will make this city or this town or this county the best !n the state and I am going to do that very thing.' "And In respect to the ambitions of the people It has been the same, every one proud to be Americans and to re joice and thank God that (he starry flag waves over us, united country.1 Words of the Lamented Lamar. The president Bpent l'J hours In this city. Jackson did her best to make the president's stay pleasant. Every body seemed to have in mind the words of Mississippi's famous Lamar, "If we knew each other better we would love each other more." In carrying out this Taft celebration Jackson had a good many things to contend against. Thens was a state fair, a circus, a balloon ascension and a parachute drop. The circus and the balloon ascension alone would have discouraged tho ordinary city, but Jackson managed to keep the circus parade and the Tatf show separate. The circus outfit with its long line of animal cages, Indians and bareback riders watted in a side street until the Taft procession had passed and disap peared. Then the circus bands struck up and followed .on down the street. The president helped to swell the gate receipts of the Jackson fair Just as he has those of many other shows on his trip. In his speech at the fair grounds the president congratulated Mississippi on its having been able to restrain the tendency of the young men to go into great cities and said: "The truth is, If I were advising a young man In this country as to his profession, I should say to him that there probably Is greater opportunity for real reward in assiduity, induttry, attention to busi nes? and scientific investigation In the profession of agriculture than any other profession that this country af fords." Conflict cf Wets and Dry. The president's program included besides the visit to the state fair, a luncheon at the governor's home, an automobile sight seeing trip and a din ner last evening. The dinner had caused considerable fuss between the wets and the drys In the city. The drys were opposed to having wine served and they carried the matter Into the pulpits of some of the church es. The wets, however, refused to give in and then the tenipeimce peo ple threatened to get out an Injunction restraining the wet3 from using wine at a banquet. The wine drinkers carried the day by going to New Orleans an.l buying their supply in Louisiana. Now the teetotalers say they will carry the question of the Taft banquet to the polls. Mississippi Is a dry state. The president him3clf does not drink wlno or anything else stronger than coffee, so that the' Jackson people were rais ing a rumpus on their own account. A good many Ja"ksonltes were sur piired when ex-Governor '.'ai daman called to see the president, lie has spoken bitterly ngalnst Taft and Is seeking an election to tho senate on a platform that is opposed to Taft and his Southern policy. The negroes in Jarkson declined to deliver ffu address of welcome to the president. They said that they would prefer to hear his regular speech at the fair grounds, but it Is said that the real reason was that Mr. Taft is un popular with them because of his fail ure to appoint negroes to office in Mis sissippi.
