He did this, and in time became known nation-wid- e as the mil-lionaire tramp. He rode box cars with them, shared their meals In wayside camps and slept with them In box cars.

On the day of his wedding he received a letter from Miss Thompson, In which she declnred that she would wed him If the whole "I have followed Mr. Brown closely In the advancement of his high Ideals toward scientifically solving our na-tional problems of poverty and desti-tution," said his wife, who Is an edu-cated, cultured woman.,"His philosophy rings with a religion of reason that has made my love sacred. I think It was wonderful for him to make the crusade he did, and still more wonderful to write about It so beautifully.

Went Into Business. When she heard the news Miss Thompson determined never to wed, and turned to a business life. Her brother was then one of the big off-icials of the Burlington railroad and owned a string of eating houses. After serving her apprenticeship in the busi-ness she became the manager of these railroad restaurants and operated them for years until his growing for-tune found other means of Increasing his revenue, and he sold out .

Germany before the war was a vast firm, an immense factory, if . ons prefers that term, of which all the parts were closely welded together. The mines, the factories of Alsace, of Lorraine and of Upper Silesia, were incorporated in the edifice, which was supported by the gigantic props called customs duties and especially by the trusts. The normous structure was bound to collapse whenever one of its parts was torn away, or one of its props damaged. The great German industrial magnates have not understood, or else have not wished to understand, the significance of the defeat inflicted on their country. Instead of reaching the conclusion that the force of cir-cumstances compelled them to establish German economic life on the basis of formulas new to them, but similar to those of their Anglo-Saxo- n rivals,-the- undertook, immedately after their defeat, to carry out the designs that they had previously cherished, that is, to construct, by artificial processes, an industrial system so strong that it would be able to crush the universe. Had territory, rich in mines and factories, been taken away from them? What did that matter? They could procure from foreign sources the ore supplies that were indispensable. By means of great internal works they would create economic conditions which would permit them to transport their raw material at little expense, and also to replace the factories they had lost. . But money, much money, would be required for all that How could they find it? By Belling, in foreign markets, mark currency, a proceeding which Professor Cassel, whom no one can tax with hatred of Germany, has called "the most gigantic swindling operation that the world has tver known." When one pursues such objectives and undertakes to use all the resources of the nation to acquire mines in Austria, Sweden and Chile, to deepen ports, to dig canals, one cannot dream of paying in-demnities to conquerors. Such was and such is the part played by the German magnates. . , FIGUREJT OUT It took Noah 120 years to build the ark, and even then he forgot to install a gas range.

Here's a Kansas woman farmer who is making good with a big farm. Seven years ago Mr. J. E. Ford of Sanford, In this state was sud-denly left a widow with a 400-acr- e farm, a seven-year-ol- d boy, a $0,000 mortgage and no experience as a farmer. She got right out In the field, did as much physical work as a man, plowed and she listed. She cut wheat and looked after the threshing. When hogs were up, she raised hogs. When hogs went down, she raised cattle. In between time she milked cows and took care of her 300 thoroughbred chickens. Prefers Farm Work to School. She has paid off the $0,000 mort- - no experience and a big debt hanging over her. "Decidedly I would rather work on the farm than teach school" says Mrs. Ford. "I have farmed seven years and I taught school in a city school for four years. I prefer the farming." Made Money on Hogs. Mr. Ford died late In the summer. seven years ago. He had already plowed up the land for wheat, but the seeding bad not been done. Mrs. Ford hired a man and the two of them put In the wheat "But the winds blew the seed out of the ground and we raised nothing," says Mrs. Ford. "In fact, we have never made any-thing raising wheat. Once In a while we had a good wheat crop, but not often. Sometimes one thing hap-pened to It; sometimes another." When he wind blew the seed out of the ground, Mrs. Ford turned round and put In mllo maize, and thus made a crop. "I raised hogs four years until the drop in price came, ana then I quit," she says. "I made money on them all except one year, when I broke even." Secret of Her Success. Recently the woman farmer has rented 240 acres of her land and Is now operating but ICO acres herself. She has 100 acres Ii pasturage and 60 acres In kafflr corn. In addition to the cattle, she sells ten gallons of cream every week from her milch cows, for which she gets $8 per week. "I made good money wlih my chick-ens last winter," she snys. "I have 300 White Rocks and 00 laying heus. I have been selling about twenty-fou- r clor.cn eggs a week. "The cattle, hogs and chickens have paid off the mortgage. The wheat has just about paid taxes and Interest. I never coulo have paid that mort-gage oft by raising wheat alone." "I'm going to raise less wheat In future and more beef cattle, hens and hogs," says Mrs. Ford. "My seven years' experience hns taught me that In those three items Is the secret of farming success."

MllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Alaska Has Disclosed to an Astonished World Its Wealth and Possibilities By J. J. UNDERWOOD, in "Alaska, an Empire in the Making." The years that have passed since Alaska came into the possession of the United States have disclosed to an astonished world its great wealth and wonderful possibilities. Its auriferous gravels have yielded untold treasure ; its colonies of seal aiid other mammals have loaded the markets with valuable and beautiful furs; its seas have given up their wealth of food fishes; its barren tundras have presented us the nucleus of the rein-deer industry and taught a lesson in the civilization of savage tribes; its agricultural possibilities promise returns in excess of all expectations; its unmeasured timber areas will furnish wood pulp and lumber long after other forests have been exhausted ; and its undelved coal-min- es suggest a national opulence beyond the dreams of avarice. It may sound like a wild dream to gay that within a few years, European immigrants, instead of landing at New York, will land on the Faeifio coast, to make productive the unoccupied areas of land in the West and in Alaska. But it is a dream that likely will come true, for Alaska is capable of raising every pound of beef, every sort of vegetable, and every pound of butter or other dairy product that her people will need till the white population increases to two hundred times its present number.

Out of $50,000,000 in loans made in Iowa and Illinois by the Chicago Joint Stock Land bank, only thirteen defaults have occurred in six years. One-cro- p farmers are the deepest sufferers now, because they have not been able to take advantage of the new economics of modern farm equipment. Ninety per cent of the borrowers among the farmers are car-rying on in good shape. The farming business is not as bad as painted. More than 50 per cent of the fanners are clear of debt and 90 per cent of the other 50 per cent are in good condition. Only six per cent of the land classified as "agricultural land" is real "plow land." Only 25 per cent of the land in the country is agricultural land, which is valued at $67,000,000,000. The estimated value of crops this year is about $8,500,000,000, which is not such a bad return, even with labor costs taken out The farmer with a 240-acr- e farm, worth $50,000, with clod breakers and modern equipment, is making money. The small farmer, on land less valuable with no machinery equipment and small production to the acre, is in a bad fix, but so are manufacturers in the city in poor locations, ill equipment and lack of knowledge.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii'Iiiiiiiiiiihiiiiiiiii "If Someone Would Invent Solar Engine of Five Per Cent Efficiency" By EDWIN E. SLOSSON, in Science News Bulletin. The greatest waste is our failure to utilize, not our carelessness in methods of utilization. We waste 50 per cent of our petroleum through irrational and competitive drilling. We waste two-thir-ds of our coal before its energy gets into the engine. But we waste all of the sunshins that falls upon our arid region lands, and that means a greater loss of energy than we get from all our oil and coal. The richest region in the United States is Death valley, California. If some one would invent s solar engine with an efficiency of even five per cent, it would add incal culably to the wealth of the country through the utilization of the wasted sunbeams that fall upon our arid land. Here is a prize bigger than any grasped by coal kings and oil mag-nates. But nobody conies forward to claim it Yet very likely the knowledge necessary to achieve this supreme triumph of chemical engineering is already in existence somewhere. If it is not, there is certainly enough brain-pow- er in the world to solve the problem if it were set to work at it. We are all of us the because of this waste of ideas and inventive genius.
