Mr. Hill Thinks the Government Should Build Two Less Battleships a Year and With the Money Saved Start 1,000 Agricultural Colleges and Model Farms Close and Care ful Cultivation Can Best Be Done on Small Farm. "What Shall We Do to Be Fed?" Is the title of an article In the cur rent issue of The World's Work, by Jnmes J. Hill, builder of the railroads in the Northwest, who adds the sub caption, "RlBlng prices of bread and a food shortage already begun In a land of plenty; the way to feed our coming millions." Mr. Hill makes some novel sugges tions, chief of which Is that the Unit ed States goverjjjjflt should build fewer batth5rand establish more model injrtfn& agricultural schools. "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 still retalxgSte other areas the land Ihwb under which for so many years the great heritage of the people has been passing so largely Into unworthy handn. "For the sake of our national fu ture, for the sake 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 thorn, the Imiortanco 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 lnnd when It is cultivated In comparatively small farms. The greater the number of prosperous farmers the greater 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 sufficient 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 Salamls on Friday, which, 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 helphts 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 shplls, and for a time matters were very lively. The arsenal building wat hit and the new torpedo boai destroy er Sphendone, built in 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 boats gradually withdrew from action stern first, and twenty min utes after the first shot was ilred 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 "Skyeycle." At a meeting of the New Jersey State Microscopical society at Rut gers college, Prof. Julius Nelson, state Hlogist, In a lecture on aerial naviga tion prophesied that within a few years anyone would be able to ascend and descend In the air without the aid of aeroplanes or similar machines, but by the use of what he termed a skyeycle. "Why not manufacture wings some thing on the order of those of birds and have them controlled by the leg muscles of tho human being?" asked Professor 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. Just take the wings out of your pocket and as cend. When you come down, fold them up and put them in your pocket." Leave Yale $500,000. By the will of the late Dr. Levi I. Shoemaker, filed for probate at Wllkes-Barre, Pa., more than $500,0(10 will revert to the medical department of Yale upon the death of his wldjw.

The editor of El Kaskabel of Guadal ajara, one of the leading papers of Mexico, attended the Diaz-Taft meet Ing at El Paso aud published an edl torlal which is causing much comment In oinclal circles of that country. He Bays: "Remembering the excursion of the white suuadron through all the seas, an excursion that cost millions of dot 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 Bad contrast. "While our president went adorned In his grind uniform of a general, made in Paris at a cost of 25,000 francs, President Taft wore a suit 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 brushed 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.

The earnings of the road have been rapidly Increasing dilrlng the past few months aud the company decided that Instead of informing the men that they would receive a voluntary In crease of 10 per cent commencing on Nov. 1 they would make the announce ment through the October envelopes. Returning prosperity prompted the officials to grant the Increase. :$1C0 In Pennies Result of Holdup, Declaring that his conscience had got the better of htm and that he was tired of trying to evade the law, a very netaly dressed man who gave his name as Thomas O'Brien sur rendered himself to the Philadelphia police, saying ho was the highway man who, single handed, held up the pennnylvanla express train In the wild gorge of the Lewiston Narrows early on Aug. 1 last.

In His 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 See the President Wine Drinkers Won at Taft Banquet Jackson, Mlrs., Nov. 2. With Ncv Orleans behind him President Taft la 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 euabl-3 him to say that hlB two months study of con ditions throughout the country is practically finished. The Impression that be has gathered from the trip were sumirailed 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. Louts, 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 n.d I have survived the Hearing 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 snd ambitions, and In all our pride of country and patriotism as we are today. "It is possible that there are corners in this country that havs escaped tno wheie there is discontent, but if so I have not found them. In every town, I have almost said every hamlet, in every city and county, in every Btate I have found the individual sayl-ig to himself: 'I am contended here because I know that I will make this city or this town or thiB county the best !n the state and I am going to do that very thing.' "And in respect to tho ambltioiH of the people It has been the same, ever'' one proud to be Americans and to re Joice and thank God that (he starry flag waves over us, united country." Words of the Lamented Lamar. The president spent 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 mora." In carrying out this Taft celebration Jackson had a good many things to contend against. There 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 lu a side street until the Taft procesBlop 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, Industry, attention to busi ness and scientific Investigation In the profession of agriculture than any other profession that this country af fords." Conflict ef Wets and Drys. The president's program Included besides the visit to the state fair, a luncheon at tho 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 temperance peo ple threatened to get out an Injunction restraining the wets from using win, at a banquet. The wine drinkers carried the day by going to New Orleans and buying their supply In Louisiana. Now the teetotalers Bay they will carry the question of the Taft banquet to the polls. Mississippi Is a dry state. The president hlm3rlf 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 Jacksonltes were sur prlred when ex-Govsrnor Vardaman calli'd to see the president. He has spoken bitterly against Taft and Is seeking an election to the senate on a platform that is opposed to Taft and his Southern policy. The negroes in Jackson dcllned to deliver Ru address of welcome to the president. They said that they would prefer to hear his regular speech at the fair ground, but It Is said that the real reason was that Mr. Taft la un popular with them because of his fail ure to appoint negroes to office In Mis sissippi.
