FEAR PERMANENT HIGH PRICES North American Urban Rush Being Duplicated In Old World, Even Reaching India, China and Japan and Sweeping Over South America' as Well. i A worldwide change In human con ditious, political 11s well as economic, Is Indicated by tlio lutest figures ns to the growth of cities. The figures now being gathered show the phenomenon 19 not confined to America, but Is sweeping over Europe and Asia and Africa nnd the Australian continent. In the Polish district of Russia, for example, there has been in the last year an Increase of 1-1,000 workmen In Moscow and 11.000 in Warsaw. This means 100,000 more mouths to feed In these two plares. The problem Is of the greatest iin porlaui'e to those who live in Ameri can cities, for until the reaction, tho "back to the soil" movement, comes, perhaps twenty to twenty-five years hence, this enormous growth of mu-nieipalltle.-j Is taken by European econ omists to mean permanently higher prices for food. It is tile opinion abroad that tho United States will bo the source of supplies, Inasmuch as the European countries, which are more densely populated, must continually cry to oth er continents for food and the mate rials for clothing. Thus the American ! planters and farmers will be able at all times to find a first class foreign market for cereals, cattle, cotton, wool and other raw materials. This inevi tably moans higher prices for those articles in the American market under tho inexorable law of supply and de-, mand. This growth of cities at the expense of rural communities has ( reached India, China and Japan, and it Is sweeping over South Africa. Capitalists Exploiting Cities. Capital all over the world Is now chiefly engaged In exploiting tho cities against the country. It is calculated that for every dollar invested in graz-1 ing or planting a thousand dollars goes into municipal and industrial de velopment, and so when sucli a tend ency assumes, as it now has assumed, worldwide proportions the outlook for cheaper food nud clothing in Amor-' lea and elsewhere is regarded ns re mote indeed. A recent Russian loan bank report shows the average number of dwellers , in a house lias increased to forty eight in Vienna, fifty in Berlin and fifty-two in Moscow and St. Peters burg. In London tho average is only eight to n house. Tho average yearly rent of a two room flat is ?90 in Ber lin nnd .$128 in Moscow and St. Pe tersburg. Since 1SS2 the number of wnrJHiig people in the German empire has In creased from 17,000.000 to 2(1,800,000. which Is an increase in percentage from to 43.40. In tho snme period the foreign workers in Germany have 1 Increased from 32.".000 to more than 1,250,000, of whom (520,000 are Aus trians. Germany now has as many , foreigners as any other country in Eu-' rope except France, which only slight ly exceeds her. There are in Great i Britain only about 300,000 foreigucrs. ! The Prussian city of Frankfort-on-the-Muin, which now has 'a population of 400,000. is growing as fast as nny ' of the western cities in America. More than $l,BOO.O0O Is to bo spent In an addition to the 510,000.000 railway sta-' tlon, which handles COO trains a day. Tho hotels take care annually of 600,- 000 strangers, Turks Improve Cities. J The Young Turks are preparing their I ancient country for western elvlllza-l tlon nnd luxuries. The city of Aleppo, with 200,000 inhabitants, is to under- go a complete transformation. Gas, electric light and water nro to be in-! troduced, nnd there Is to bo a fire de- j pnrtmont. Constantinople Is beginning! to grow, her accessions coming mostly from Asia Minor and 'he Turkish sub urban provinces. In Spain the growth of population and industries In tho chief cities lias been such that tho number of saving? bank depositors has Incrensed from ino.000 to fiOO.OPO In the last two years. It Is scarcely realized In America that the large fruit and vegetable growers In Spain are among tho wealthiest class In Europe. Their land sells for as high as $3,000 an acre. In Sweden the privnte fortunes of the people now aggregate $297.000, 000. divided among 1.23S.OO0 estates. In the city of Stockholm tho private estates aggregate $!S2.000,000. an nv erago of $1.2iri for each citizen. There nro now l.noo.OOO savings bank deposi tors In Sweden, and they have $204. 000,000 to their credit, an Increase of $12,550,000 In the Inst year. As bearing on the meat problem the government count made on Oct. 10 last shows that in Havarla. where the pop ulation is largely Interested In German cattle raising, there has been in one year n decrease of 210.000. cattle and 07.000 sheep. Buvnrla. Saxony nnd Alsace-Lorraine have authorized the Importation of French. Danish and other foreign meat. Colombia Drops Export Duties. Colombia has abolished Its export duties on cattle nnd India rubber. -AWYER PKIZE PICKER OF BEAUTIFUL ENGLISH WORDS Melody, Radiance, Liberty and Adora tion Prominent In List. A prize offered by Grenville Klelscr of Now York to pupils of the Public Speaking Club of America for a list of the twenty-five most beautiful words in the English lnugungo was won by .Tnmcs Shea, a lawyer. Words were Judged according to their beauty of sound and beauty of meaning, and out of twenty-five sub mitted by Shea twenty-one were ac cepted. Grace, Justice nnd truth were rejected. Tho harshness of g in grace nnd j in justice disqualified them, nnd truth was turned down because of its metallic sound. The words accepted as the most beautiful in the langungo are: Nobility, Splendor, Sympathy, Adoration, Heaven, Eloquence, Love, Virtue, Divine, Innocence, Hope, Modesty, Harmony, Faith, Happiness, Joy, Purity, Honor, Liberty, Itadlanee. Melody, Sixty-five persons submitted lists. Mr. Kleisor prepared a list nnd found afterward that only one of his words iiad been submitted In the other sixty live offered nnd that just one person used thnl. Au amusing feature of the contest was that Shea made a speech accept ing tho prize in which ho did not once use nny of the words ho had submit ted. LEFT MONEY TO AGED HORSES! Eccentric Hungarian's Will Being Con tested by Relatives. Tho highly original will of a bache lor. Emll von Blzony. Is published In tho Iluugarlun papers. Mr. von Bl zony, the brother of a well known Hun garian deputy, was sixty-five, detested women nnd was on bad terms with nil his relatives. Although the owner of a great deal of land, ho lived so fru gally that he did not spend the tenth part of his income. In his will he bequeathed all his real and personal property to his twelve draft horses. As executors of the will he named the Society For the Protec tion of Animals at Budapest, stipu lating that the interest on his property should be devoted to the care of these twelve animals and that upon the death of one of them another aged horse was to be taken In and cared for so that tho number of twelve might always be maintained. Ilerr von Bizony's relatives natural ly did not like the will, nnd tho deputy will dispute It. Negotiations hnvc been begun with the above mentioned society, and 20.000 was offered it as a compromise, but was refused. Tho property is worth about $200,000. HOLDS BABES IN WOOD LANDS English Peer Declines to Sell Historio Bit of Ground. Lord Walsingham has joined the great procession of peers who are sell ing their estates as tho outgrowth of the English government's agitation against large landholding; but. though ho Is parting with Aldwnrk Manor, near York, he has decided to retain Morton Hall, in Norfolk. This Is tho scene of n crime which gave rise to one of the most widely read legends in the world "The Babes In the Wood." The originals of "The Bnbos In tho Wood" were the children of Sir Roger do Grey, whose mother was tho owner of Merton Hall. For years nfter the wicked uncle had done the poor little lvibes to death tho wood In which thev perished and tho house in which they had lived were haunted, so It was ev erywhere believed, by the ghosts of the babes walking hand in hand. PORKERS ARE FASTIDIOUS. Goats, on the Contrary, Eat Almost Everything. An apology is due to the farmyard pig. who has been grossly maligned in regard to his food. Instead of being ready to eat anything ho has Just proved himself the most fastidious of animals. Experiments recently cnrrled on In France and Sweden show this to be tho case. In Sweden the record tells that out of 575 plants tho goat cats 449 and refuses 120. tho sheep, out of 494 plants, eats 3S7 and refuses 141; out of 528 plants the cow eats 270 and re fuses 218, out of 474 plants tho horse eats 202 nnd refuses 212, and the pig, out of 243 plants, eats only 72 and re fuses tho other 171. NEW DISH FOR GEOGRAPHERS Noted Men Partake of Dasheen at Banquet. Just as Washington was distinguish ed by tho serving of lco cream for the first time in this country at a White House reception in Dolly Madi son's time, the city was recently hon ored by tho first presentation in tho United States of a new dish mado of tho dasheen, a plant recently imported from tho Pacific Islands. This delicacy resembles tho potato, being somewhat more piquant in fla vor, and it formed a part of tho menu at the banquet of the National Geo graphic society, at which 600 members and guests sat down. Jamaica's Rainfall Is Peculiar. The annual rainfall in Jamaica is nearly twice as great on one part of the island ns on another. The average Is 00.17 inches. IN THE WORLD OF SPORT Packy McFarland to Meet Freddie Welch In England. Packy McFarland, tho Chicago light weight, is to take a trip across the big pond to tackle Freddie Welch, holder of the English title. Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian promoter, who recently opened a club In London, has landed the match and wants to stage the bat tle Feb. 9. Recently the pair met in London, and the battle was called a draw. Many exports at tho ringside claimed that tho decision should have been given to tho Americnn. Since then the Chicago lightweight has been anxious for a return match, and now that It lias been granted McFarland is more than pleased. As tho boys are bitter enemies now the coming battle should result In one of the best ever held In London. Career of Daly, Billiard Champion. John W. Taly, the present holder of the three cushion billiard champion ship, is forty-two years old and was born in L'tlca. N. Y. In 1893 he first came into prominence, when he won the professional pool clnmplonshlp at the Chicago World's Fair. In that tournnment nil tho leading players except De Oro competed. In 1907 he finished second to narry CHno nt St. Louis in th throe cushion cham pionship tourney and later challenged and defeated him. Tom Huoston took the title nway from him, tho for mer in turn losing it to De Oro. Daly is playing so strong a game at present that there are many who expect him to hold the title for a long time. Jockey Bell Clever Horse Pilot. Jockey Tinker Bell, who Is a sensa tion nt Jacksonville, Fin., was picked up In Canuda by Hugh Penny last sea son. Bell had been an exercise boy for II. G. Bedwell, but never had re ceived a chance to show his skill. Penny, once a star Jockey himself, coached the youngster carefully and gradually developed htm. Today Bell rides as well in long dlstnnco races as he does in the sprints. Ho has good hands, n cool head and knows how to make sulky horses run. Above all, he Is as quick as a flash at the post and always takes the shortest route to the wire. Bell will ride in Germany next year If certain negotiations go through. Montana May Have Boxing. In nn effort to legalize boxing con tests, which are now prohibited bj the Montana statutes, tho executive committee of tho city council of Butte, under tho guidance of tho city attor ney, is framing a bill for presentation to tho legislature, which convenes in February, to permit boxing under the auspices of regularly conducted ath letic clubs. Tho sentiment is overwhelmingly In favor of boxing, and it is believed this bill will go through, patterned nfter the Pennsylvania law. Christy Mathewson's Great Record. Should Christy Mathewson servo out his now contract with tho Giants ho will have tho enviable record of hav ing pitched fourteen years with the same major league team. Mathew son's record in tho eleven years ho has drawn a salary from John T. Brush is 2.'l(l victories and 118 defeats, a per centage of .(iOO. As his percentage last year was .743 It may bo seen that "Big Six" Is not going back to any er tent. Matty's ambition Is to stay In tho big league until ho has pitched 500 victories. Three I League Springs Innovation. There wili be no flag raising at tho Bpriugfleld (III.) Threo I league pan; this season, despite the fnct that tho Springfield team'enptured the pen" nant last season. President TIerney will fight shy of tho time honored pre cedent and nward something more substantial than a piece of bunting as a reward for tho title winners. The loving cup that is to be given instead Is twelve Inches In height, made of sterling silver, with a gold washed bowl and mounted on an eight Inch base of ebony. i' M WA 'tit mi NSk &TOC1V FEED HACK FOR CATTLE BARN Giving an Illustration of n Feed (luck for All Purposes. Tho accompanying Illustration shoV3 a leed ruck for tht cattle barn which for all purposer cannot be excelled. Tin. rack Is placed in the center of the barn so that tho stock can eat from all sides, and if need bs tho sttck can be divided and yet havo ace s i t(. tho rack. It Is made six feet wide and as long as- thb barn will allow, "leav ing room to drive around when haul ing out the manure. The bottom of the rack should be "ou' 2 feet from tho ground v. ith n tight floor for feeding grain or nn flue feed. The Ides should io constructed of Jx4 pieces placed i a Blunting position nnd firmly sp!l ed together and to the main frame o that a V shaped opening is ma io thro igh which the cattle must re- ch foi tholr feed. The lower spa es are hoarded up and tho upper spares or openings should comme.ice .rem the floor. In that rack hay .md straw 'an lie fed with almost 'io waste, mu for feeding shredded fodder It has no equal, as It gives plenty of room A CATTLE BARN FErtD RACK. for shifting the feed about. A. door can bo mado Ir one end tor convenience with a V shaped open ing so that no space is wasted. I find that cattlo of different :'gfs nnd sizes eat In peace from this rack, as they have ti'elr heads 'n sldi and do not facm to notice tho others. Pralrio Farmer. Pasturing Hos nnd Feeding (Jeis. The hog will make a pound ol r id on less grain than almost any live stock and he t a great utilizer of farm waste; nevertheless, no man should nttempt to raise hogs -as a businest even in a small way with out adequate pasture. Experiments from Mississippi to Michigan are note.l in pasturing and feeding, including the use of alfalfa, clover, cow-peas, cull-nciis, corn meal etc. In connection with cull-bean feel ing it Is suggested iliai salt Is an appedzer and renders the food more pahitable and it also ,irKse.ses laxa tive qualities. Fo- pen feeding it is stated that it is best to have the water content of the ration below tho daily requirement, and then let the animal have access to water at will, or supply It regularly. If the food is excessively sloppy, the pig is compelled to consume un usually large quantities of the ration In order to satisfy the body needs. This distends the stomach, unbalances the whole digestive sys tem and makes a paunchy, ill form ed animal, which at slaughtering time yields a ery low per cent of profitable carcabs. Breaking Rati Stall Pullers. A correspondent furnishes tha Prairie Farmer with another plan for breaking horses that are inclined to pull and break their hal. ter when fastened in the stall. Two straps are lightly attached to the two forolegs just above the knees. These are attached by a rope which passes throush a ring in the stall. If a horse endeavors to go back suddenly he flnda that the harder uo pulls tho greater the tendency to draw hlB forelegs from under him. A few attempts by eve'n the worst halter puller and he will be broken of his vicious habit. Feeding n Ilorse. What does It co: t to feed the work horse during the year? It Is claim ed that when timothy is worth $18 per ton; wheat bran, $17.50; corn, $22; dried browers' grain, ,$17; and gluten meal, $29; per ton, thnt a horse can be foi during tho six months when tho hardest work Is done, for $31. During the remain ing six months the cost of feed Is put at $24.70. Remove Side Tusks of Pigs. Not one farmer in 40. we pre3iime, removes at birth the little side tusks of pigs and yet it is the right thing to do. With a thick glove on tho left hand and a pair of nippers It is only a moment's .vork and it saves the old sow much needless pain and worry and Baves the llfo of many a pig. We often hear a good-iemp-i'Ma bull called the "pet of the farm,' and children are allowed to pliy arund htm, and even ride him through tho yards. This is dangerous. Many have been Injured by trusting (he hull too far. I have never yet sonn a bull that 1 would trust behind my back, unless he was securely fasten ed. It will require seven pounds or skim milk; to equal one pound of leau beef (or flesh-forming, qualities. MLLE. SOREL'S HATS. French Actress Who May Marry Lord Rombery. VKLVKT HATS WOI1N BY ML1.K. SOHCI,. Mile. Sorel is one of the best known women in Paris. Not alone Is she one of the 'famous actresses of the French stage, but she has the distinction of being one of the most beautifully gowned women of her day. In fact in certain costumes she strongly re sombles the grand dame of the ancient regime. The hats pictured are ones .Mile. Sorel is now wearing in the Citj of Light. Lord Ilosebery. it Is said is seeking the hand of this accomplish ed Frenchwoman in marriage. As the three ambitions -of his life marrying the richest heiress In England, being prime minister and winning the Derby have all been accomplished. It Is not unlikely that Mile. Sorel may become the second wife of this noted states man. Blouses For Every Day. The satin blouse has taken the place occupied by the lingerie shirt waist of several seasons ago. The prevailing style of making these blouses on peas ant linos without boning gives every womau a chance to supply herself with several at moderate cost. The satin blotiae should always have 't muslin or pongee lining to prevent IN F10D11ED SATIN. the moisture of the skin from coming in contact with the outer fabric. This lining should be cut exactly like the outer one and tacked In place nt tbf armholes. There Is no waist belt e ccpt on the outside, mnde by n band ol satin ribbon the color of the blouse. This Is stitched on one side on Un fastening for u qunrter of nn Inch, and its two end arc then brought round the waist and fastened with a hook and e.ve tu front. Below the waist the lining nnd the satin nre something on the order o, a man's shirt, without full ness and opened at the sides. This prevents the danger of the blouse rid ing up above the skirt. Tho blouse In the cut Is one of th newest models for spring. Healthful Laughter. The habit of laughter Is one we!! worth acquiring. Not the habit of silly smirking or meaningless giggling over nothing, but the well developed sense of fun nnd humor that renders It easy to find nmusement in situations and circumstances that otherwise might be mournful, or nt least trying, and which bubbles forth in merry and genial laughter. Such habit is not always easy to ac quire, especially wben the natural tasto and temperament lie In other di rections, but, once established. It more than repays the effort of attainment. The ready laugher usually is blessed with good temper, good digestion, good hold upon life generally, and not only enriches but prolongs life for sundry less fortunate fellows. Who has not known a man or woman whose hearty, Jovial or silvery laughter made all the world seem better? The good laugher, other things being equal, may be set down as a good citizen and a good friend. PROFESSIONAL CARDS. Attorncvs-nt-Lnw. H WILSON, . ATTOUNEV A COUNSELOR-AT-I.AW.
