FEEDING THE Owing to the drought of the present season in a large
WORLD'S MILLIONS part of the United States, especially that portion
depended upon for production of cereal crops, there have been more than the
usual number of pessimistic prophecies of talamity impending to the human
lace from shortage of food. Pessimists of this sort are wont to say that we
have about reached the limit of grain cultivation, and that the population is
increasing so rapidly that the problem of feeding it will be acute in a few gen
erations. It is acute already, so far as the high cost of living is concerned,
but that is not because of having reached the limit of the world's productive
ness. The usual answer fo this prophecy of impending starvation is that sci
ence will find a way. It is predicted that science will in time take the life
giving elements from earth and air and transmute them into food direct,
without putting them through the chemistry of grain growing, beef raising,
egg producng and milk secreting. Wonderful achievements of science in
finding substitutes ,for exhausted natural resources are pointed to as proof of
the reasonableness of this expectation.
Statistics do not show any need to place our reliance for food for the
enhanced millions of the earth in future centuries upon any necromancy of
science. From a productive standpoint it can be said that we have but begun
to scratch the earth's surface in the matter of food production. There are
approximately 2,000,000,000 acres of land under cultivation, of the 30,000,
000,000 of the total land area of the earth. Making due allowance for un
cultivable deserts and mountains there are at least 15,000,000,000 of acres of
cultivable land still unproductive or five times as much as is now producing.
This alone would seem to be sufficient for five times our present population,
a state of things r.ot likely to be reached for many centuries. Here, in the
United States it is an admitted fact that on the average we are not getting
from our cultivation more than one-third the food value we should per acre.
This is less true in some parts of Europe, but more true in Asia, Africa and
South America, so much that so that it might be safe to say that, taken as a
whole, the 2,000,000,000 acres now under cultivation are producing but a
quarter of what they might, and at some future time will produce. This fact
would permit another multiplication of the world's population by four before
starvation became acute.
Clearly scientific discovery is not to be our last resort for a long time to
come, though our ever-presenf help in the matter of better agriculture and
economy of use of what we produce. Our first problem in the matter of in
creasing the food supply is to get better farming done right here in this
country and in this state. Development of unused areas will come gradual
ly as civilization advances, but we shall have to stir ourselves fo rour own im
provement. Oregon, for example, could send to market twice as much food
products as she now does, with no addition but better methods to her equip
ment. That is the practical problem of the food supply as it affects the pres
ent generation.
SEEKING While watching a stream of immigrants land at Ellis Island,
IMMIGRANTS Senator Randall and a number of other Southerners or
ganized tentatively the Mississippi Valley Immigration Association, with ths
purpose of dverting some of the immigrants now landing a-tthe rate of 1000
to 2000 a day at New York to New Orleans and other gulf ports. The ob
ject is a good one, and the association is just what is needed, if it is made to
represent the entire Missssippi Valley in its membership, and not merely a
few individuals. If the people of the lower Miesissipp states will get behind
such an association and give it actual life and vigor, it might do a great work
for those states in developing their agricultural resources and supplying needed
farm labor.
There is much more needed to divert immigrants from the New York
gateway to those on the gulf coast than mere invitation or actual provision
of steamer lines for their passage. Immigrants now enter the port of New
Y ork almost exclusively. Some enter at Boston, some at Philadelphia and a
few at other ports, but the great bulk land at Ellis Island. There are three
leasons for this. In the first place, most immigrants remain the northern
, tier of states, and New York is the most convenient port of entry for that sec-
Present Styles a Victory For Satan
Many Drunkards Good Men
By the Rev. Dr. LEN G. BROUGHTON of London
IF I were the devil, certainly I would not enjoy anything so much as a
walk up Broadway or Fifth avenue, New York, looking at the slit
skirts and other new styles of women's dress.
Until very recently I never knew a woman who was not interested in
jewels and clothes. But now they have lost their interest in clothing and
are going around the streets with as few clothes as possible arid making
those few as short and transparent as possible.
THESE THINGS LEAD ONLY TO THE DEVIL. THEY TEMPT
MEN, AND NO WOMAN EVER FELL WITHOUT THE AID OF A MAN
There are a lot of good men, just as good as you can show me, who get
drank. What you Christians ought to do is to go to them and sit up with
them and pray with them. Then they would quit drinking.

tiori. In the second place! those who do not know where they want to go
naturally keep with the crowd. In the third place, those who have no settled
plans can always find a colony of their own countrymen in New York, among
whom they may live for a time while learning to speak English, and from
whom they may also learn the best way to begin making a living. Any new
port seeking to become a gateway for immigrants must in a measure provide
all these three requisites.
The Mississippi Valley needs good, industrious and intelligent immi
grants, particularly from Missouri south to the gulf. Also it is a fact that
this section has more to offer immigrants in the matter of agricultural oppor
tunities than that farther north or anywhere around New York. While this
is a fact, it is also true that the practical machinery for getting the immigrants
and these opportunities together does not exist. A mere immigration asso
ciaton will not supply it, if it gives its sole attention to efforts to induce immi
grants to go to other ports than New York, or even provides proper transport
ation facilities for so doing. Practicable plans for enabling immigrants who
do not speak English to get into and actually live in those agricultural dis
tricts must be made. . The handicap of ignorance of our language and un
familiarity with our customs must be overcome. It can not be doubted that
when we have evolved a practical plan for absorbing the immigrant and giv
ing him a good chance for success in the region served by the gulf ports, it
will be possible to divert him there from New York, but not otherwise.

MAKING OF A CHAMPION.
Maurice E. MeLoughlin of California,
a young man, is the lawn tennis cham
pion of the United States and one of
the Ues't players in the world. His re
cent playing has aroused the players
and followers of the game, many thou
sands in number, to enthusiasm.
Winning the championship after
three months of the hardest lawn ten
nis that an American ever attenipted,
MeLoughlin proved that his condition
was perfect, that he could have under
gone greater stress if need were.
The reason?
It is found in the statement of a
sporting writer that the pcrwers of en
durance fought and won for MeLough
lin. He "stood up" under the strain.
Whei the time came for the supreme
effort he had the stamina to meet the
call upon him.
If he had been content with the bril
liance of play which Is naturally his,
if he had relied upon his service and
his stroke, his power of outguessing
the other fellow. MeLoughlin in all
probability would not have won the
championship. The long strain of the
campaigns in England and America
would have told, and at the end he
would have gone to pieces.
It Is stamina that tells in lawn ten
nis, in baseball, in football, in all the
affaire of life
When athletes wish to praise a man
highly they say he "has the stuff In
him." That means he Is fit for a long
siege if necessary. It means that he
does not rely altogether on his brains,
his nerve and his knowledge of the
game.
It means tb.t he can last.
Stamina, "the stuff.', does not come
to a man naturally. It must be devel
oped. It must be acquired by degrees.
It cannot be gained in an hour, a day
or a week.
In h sense men and women are all
engaged in a sort of championship
game The prizes go most often to
those who train faithfully and patient
ly and wait their time.
True, sometimes the man or woman
of genius arises who needs no training.
It is the exceptional case. Most of us
are not geniuses.
' The rest of us. in whatever walk of
life we find ourselves or in whatever
fields we pursue our ends and ideals,
need the sort of stamina that Is devel
oped by long preparation, by careful
training, by observance of the rules of
physical, mental and moral health.
The wisest and most successful ath
lete is the one who knows the rales
and follows them closely. The winner
in thp game of life likewise follows the
L rules. They are not numerous. They
are simple and e-islly learned.
But they ninst be observed if success
Is to be wnn

Wanted Another Victim. -
One day -during the reign of terror
an agent of Fouqnier Tinville came to
the Luxembourg with a list of victims,
drawn up by the accusateur. which
contained eighteen names. He collect
ed seventeen of these unfortunates,
but could not find the eighteenth. . A
suspect was passing by, and the agent
asked his name. The prisoner declined
to give It. and the agent at once hand
ed him over to the gendarmes. Next
day the man was guillotined. Another
day an agent summoned a prisoner of
fifty, but the ron did not answer fo
his name, and a lad of seventeen who
was playing at ball was seized, taken
to the conciergerie and put to death.

inflamed gums, and they generally lose
their teeth. The betel is a species of
climbing plant, with a leaf not unlike
Ivy. It yields a crop of nuts, which
are ground to a powder. - This is mixed

has been expended.
Illinois was behind some other states
in "respect to roads, the statistics of
the department of agriculture showing
about 10 per cent oj the 95,000 miles
improved permanently, whereas other
"states iu the west have 20 to 50 per

Wisconsin, far ahead in this matter,
will build 1,000 miles of new road this
year, making, 1,800 miles constructed
under the supervision of the present
