That many will buy at present prices is a Wholly mistaken notion. What the ground might be worth eome day after the population Of the county is doubled and treb led is not what it is worth to day. .Those people who, insist on holding all their , ground'' at a high price, thus making sales practically impossible, but stand in their own light. They can never get their price until the location of a large number of people makes the ground of greater value because of the in creased production and greater demand. But this increased population and, producation can . not come until owners are will ing to sell at least a portion of their ground at a very reasonable price. A "dozen farmers with large , holdings could join in offering a portion of their land at a very low figure and locate from fifty to 250 families with in a year. That number of new families in a given section would BO increase the value of the re Tttaining land that there would be great gain rather than loss. Most land in this be sold at a very low figure fcnd still be sold at a very hand tome advance over the cost price and yalue of work put upon it Ancl until land holders get out of the idea that someone is going to come along and pay a good "stiff" price for their land there wiirbe no great increase in the DODulation of this countv: Manv people came here this summer and real estate men wore ' out horses and vehicles and con sumed many gallons of gasoline in showing property, but few bought. "In comparison with prices in other sectiona, the land is held at a figure that looks too high to the average homeseeker. Advertising advantages is r well and good but these advantages must be within - reach of , the would-be investor. " If the ad vantages of climate and produc tion are offset by the : disadvan tage of high land values, the people brought here by advertis ing can not, will not stay. There has been little to warrant the advance in price of land, other than the expression of optimistic views as to the future of this country,' but the country can not have a future unless property holders are willing to share at least a portion of large holdings at a figure making immigration possible. , No land holder should be expected to sell any of his ground at a loss or at less than a fair profit but if he is willing to Sell a portion of his holdings at all it is not unfair to expect him to offer it at a reasonable ad vance on his money.

The spec tators took a long breath and yelled not with nice dignity, perhaps, but with exultant excitement Downtown New York had seen its first real aero plane flight. Mr. Wright was in the air three times. First he made a complete cir cuit of Governors island. A few min utes later he flew to the statue of Lib erty and around it, each time wheel ing around the filled in land near his shed on the west shore of Governors island and settling on the sand in true bird fashion. After that, late in the afternoon, he made one long and one short circuit of the Governors island' new made land, starting off in the teeth of a fifteen mile wind, which at times attained a velocity of. nearly twenty miles. 1 1 1 I I PLAN TO TEACH IMMIGRANTS.' Harvard Alumnus Said to Have Good" -Backing For "Solution of Problem." ; 'Karl O. Nelson, a young Harvard ; university alumnus, has worked out & plan for the education of immigrants; . arriving in Boston, which he thinks will solve the problem of illiterates and will enable foreigners, ignorant of" English and without a definite trade,, to become self supporting and pro ducers. He is said to have the back ing of Harvard university, the Pros pect union, the Edda club, the Deutsche vereiu, the Circolo Italiano, the Cercle Francais and other organizations. According to Mr. Nelson's plan, if art, immigrant cannot speak English he will be instructed in the language,, and if he has no trade he will be-' taught one. and work will be provided for him. If he cares to advance he will receive opportunity for a higher technical education and a field fflundt for his activities. - Those already here--' will also have these opportunities and!, a chance to learn higher branches C technical work.- , New Idea In Egg Boiling.! ' Porcelain eggs that are hollow andtr unscrew make the latest egg boilers. They are of various sizes, according ass the breakfaster wants one, two or three eggs. In their usage the cook opens. the real egg, drops its contents Into the egg of porcelain, takes It off whe it is soft, medium or hard, as required and serves it in the 'porcelain that, cooked it, set in a little silver stand. , The advantage of this novel egg boiler Is that no bad eggs, but only good ones,- need be boiled, and the service Is? . achieved in a manner the least trouble-. some nd the most appetizing.
