COUNTRY OFFICES HELP Reporters Playing Important Part in ' Fusion Administration of New York Blood Giving Developing into a Bnsiness Sub-Treasury in New York Overflowing With Gold Man hattan Gets a Taste of the Delights of Punishment in the Hereafter. BY LONGARE. New York, Feb. 6. (Special) The announcement by Fire Commissions Bob Adamson, that fire prevention work is the chief factor in a remark able reduction in tenement house fires, reminds me that newspaper men are playing a mighty important part in the success of the Mitchel administra tion. Lyman Gago, when he was sec retary of the treasury, often said that if ho had any job requiring unusual adaptability, diplomacy and political or business fineness, he would get a newspaper man to fill it. Mayor Mitchel's cabinet seems to have taken a leaf out of Gage's book of political wisdom. Some fifteen years ago, when Bob Adamson was political re porter on the World, his brother Til den both of them bright boys, from Macon, Ga., was star man for the (Brooklyn Eagle. George Terrell was co-star. Bill Bullock, the Irishman who made no little name for himself as "Pat" of "Pat's Impressions" was dramatic critic of the Press. Then hero wns Eddie Hungerford, also on A "2 in 1 Shoe Poliah" ! mnde for every use. For Blnck Shoe, "2 in 1 Black" (paste) nnd "2 in 1 Black Combination" (paste and liquid); for White Shoes, "2 in 1 White Cake" (cake) and "2 in 1 White Liquid" (liquid); for Tan Shoe.

LAND $6 AN ACRE Clarke County, the Eagle, who used to occupy his leisure hours in working out railroad schedules for single track roads. That boy could put enough trains over a 'single track to pay fabulous dividends ! on the stock of a four-track trunk line. ' Only Eddie did it on paper, while the railrcad must do it on steel. Longncre was a cub who basked in the very occasional approval of these greater lights. Occasionally this group would gath er in Tilden Adamson's rooms in old Montague street, Brooklyn, and be tween deals would exchange views on matters of no importance whatsoever. If you wish to listen to absolutely useless and senseless conversation get behind a door while a bunch of news papermen are enjoying the usual jour nalistic recreation. Right at this point it should be recorded if I were to fol low the usual custom of reminiscences that even at this early stage of their development, I saw in these large municipal light'j faint glimmers of their future brilliance. But, al though I say it in sorrow, I didn't! It was just an ordinary blase bunch of newspaper men whose blaseness largely thin veneer was terribly im pressive to me, the inexperienced cub. And now look at 'em! Bob Adam son, fire commission! Tilden Adamson, chief watch dog in the finance depart ment! George Terrell chief of the bureau of standards in the finance de partment. Bill Bullock, Tammany hall's municipal critic who holds up to public scorn the foolish acts of his newspaper friends of those grave old days. Eddie Hungerford is writing pieces about railroads for the maga zines. The cub of the party is still scribbling. o Newspaper men do make good in high places, and many of them achieve f3 f.vV mmmrnm York, Inc. Buffalo, N. Y.

HartmanjCo., successors to Hartman & Thompson, Portland, Oregon. 2-ltf BUY! 525 ACRES MUST BE SOLD Owner needs cash and forced to those places. The list is too long to give here. I must record, however, that the National City bank apparent ly finds the training of the newspa per office a pretty good basis for suc cessful banking. Frank A .Vander lip, its president, was a Wall street reporter before he began to make a living. And be it recorded here also that most of the reporters who have risen to high places got their start in country newspaper offices. Yes, it i.' also true that most of them who fail also got their start with country newspaper. I got my start in so small and insignificant a country newspaper office that I should be cither a howling success or a most dismal failure. I am not enough of the latter to achieve a comfortable berth in a charitable organization's old men's home. No one can tell, how ever, what degree of comfort the next few years may bring forth. o It is difficult to say whether blood eivine is an art or an industry, but if the practice of transfusion increases' long at the present rate there will be a Bloodgivers' Union. That name is not copyrighted, and it is not offered with any pride on Ijongacre's part. Word comes from Baltimore that more than one hundred derelicts from the Friendly Inn have undergone blood tests at $1 apiece this winter at the Union Flrotcstiant anfiTmary, a branch of John Hopkins, for trans fusion cases. Of the one hundred, twenty-five have been accepted and have been paid $25 for sub mitting to transfusions. In addition to the twenty-five dollars, those who are accepted are being paid at the rate of one dollar a day to keep them selves in condition until they are needed. The blood of these men from the Friendly Inn, it is recorded, now courses through the veins of a num ber of prominent men and women of Baltimore. Anybody who has use for a little extra gold may apply to the New York assay office and the sub-treasury. Both are crowded to overflow with the precious yellow stuff. S great is the pressure that the vaults of the mint at Philadelphia are being enlarged to hold the overflow from New York. When the improvements are made the Philadelphia vaults will hold $1,000,000,000. The sub-treasury here has been compelled to pile bags of coin in the underground corridors lctween the rows of Btrong boxes. These corri dors have been closed up and the in terior of the huge vault, running the entire length and breadth of the build ing, is solidly pneked with gold. The passages have been narrowed down until there is scarcely room for two persons abreast. One of tho most pleasant ideas of eternal torment for our enemies i3 to Market Place sacrifice wheat farm; while wh-aat is $1.50, ono crop will more than pay for the farm; 625 A. rich vol canic ash soil, good water; 475 A. plow land, bal. pasture; box house; crops in this vicinity last year pro duced 30 to 60 bu. of wheat per acre; price $25 an acre.

Can any one picture without a glow of pleasure the delight he would have in forcing a subway guard into a handbox with a pitchfork? No less delightful would be the experience of walking over the bare feet of an end seat hog with hob nailed boots. Think of the joy in putting certain of our friends, both male and female, into a room with seven thousand talking machines go ing at the same time. How pleasant it would be to be at the other end of a wire thut a telephone operator must continuously use and respond to her inquiries with that infernal "line's busy." What exquisite delight in pour ing a plate "of hot soup down a wait er's neck! New Yorkers experienced some of this sort of pleasure when they learn ed that the extra waiters called into a New York hotel for a special occa sion were forced to tip the hat boy.
