This problem is in course, most acute in those centers of population and industry where great wealth and great poverty exist side by side in striking contrast. While poverty and misfortune are not unknown in the country districts, they exist there generally as a result of accident, misfortune or disease, and there generally as a result of accident, misfortune or disease, and not from the lack of opportunities or the discrimination and injustice apparently incident to our present industrial system. While the problem of the poor has always been, and doubtless will always be, with us, that is no reason why we should accept with complacency conditions which, if not capable of being completely reformed, are at least, capable of considerable correction. The increase in the cost of living in recent years has given a new interest to attempted explanations of existing conditions, and various the not from the lack of opportunities or the discrimination and injustice apparently incident to our present industrial system. While the problem of the poor has always been, and doubtless will always be, with us, that is no reason why we should accept with complacency conditions which, if not capable of being completely reformed, are, at least, capable of considerable correction. The increase in the cost of living in recent years has given a new interest to attempted explanations of existing conditions, and various theories are offered. We are told that the increase in the amount of gold production, or rather the increase in the cost of gold production, has lowered its value, therefore, enlarged our measure of value, with the increase in the cost of necessities as well as the increase in life without a corresponding increase in wages and salaries; that combinations and trusts have increased the price of their products by arbitrarily fixing the price of the raw material to the producer and the price of the finished product to the consumer; that labor unions have increased the cost of the necessaries of life by the increase which have brought about in wages; and finally, the expanse of the supply has not kept pace with demand; that consumption has increased more rapidly than the production. It is unusual that a general condition is to be attributed to any one cause. That all of these influences are more or less responsible for the present conditions is probably true. That a permanent correction of the tendency of the price of the necessaries of life to increase must be based upon a proper relation between supply and demand, is at once apparent. A demand increase is on one hand the available supply is sufficient in and of itself cause an increase in prices. And any correction of other conditions which may have helped to bring about the increase in the cost of living must necessarily fall unless there is maintained a proper relation between consumption and production. The fact that in 1909 the value of our exports of food-stuffs decreased, as compared with 1908, eighty-seven millions of dollars, while the value of the food-stuffs imported into the country increased thirty-seven millions of dollars, making a charge of one hundred and twenty-four million dollars the wrong side of our national ledger, shows that the consumption of that which we produce has been increasing more than has the production. To bring about a correction of these conditions it is apparent at once that there must be an increase in production, and the question is how this to be accomplished. We must either use to better advantage the soil that is already in cultivation, or cultivate that which is now uncultivated. The truth is, we must do both. Production in this country, as compared with other countries, shows that we are not using to the best advantage the great resources with which nature has endowed the Netherlands is 34 bushels to the acre, England, 32; in Germany, 28; in France, 20, while in the United States it is only 14. The same disparity is found in fields of corn properly cultivated compared with those not properly cultivated. In a recent report it was stated that approximately 40 per cent, of the soil that was cultivated was used in such a way as to decrease, rather than increase, its productivity. The correction of this condition of inadequate production, due to lack of scientific methods of cultivation, must come from the agricultural department of the United States and the agricultural colleges of the different states. From these sources the farmers must get the scientific information which will help them to adopt not only effective methods of agriculture but also methods for conserving the productivity of the soil. The correct correction must be accomplished by increasing larger portion of our population to engage in the cultivation of the soil. We can all agree as to the advisability of the "Back to the Soil" movement. But how to make it effective and successful is another and far more difficult problem. Some time ago George Ade, the - THE APPEAL. GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI THE FIELD AT THE END OF THE HARVEST It is easy enough to say to the poor of the large cities that they should "go back to the soil;" but for the successful accomplishment of such a result money, and considerable money, is required. One cannot expect to make a living on a few hundred-dollars invested in a farm and the necessary for its cultivation, any more than one expects to make a living on the same amount invested in business. So, in the first place, it requires money to buy a farm, and money or credit to secure necessary implements, machinery, horses, cows, etc., to successfully conduct it. It will take from five to one hundred and sixty acres, according to the character of the soil and the methods of its cultivation, to support a family. You cannot expect large returns from a farm- farm, or from a good farm, poor returns from a farm- investment out of all proportion to the value of the investment and the labor expended thereon. The difficult of this proposition begins at once. Many of those who we all agree should be brought back have neither the money nor the credit to accomplish it. It is as to the meet this difficulty because the meet the supplied that this article is written. There have been successfully est Missouri and other states in recent year of farm home colonies, which seem best method for bringing people back in a way which is likely to make the successful one.

There have been successfully established in Missouri and other states in recent years a number of farm colonies, which seem to offer the best method for both the soil in a way which is likely to make the experiment a successful one. The general plan of these farm home colonies for some individual or association to divide a tract of land available for farming and fruit raising into a number of small farms, which are sold on easy terms or rented to persons who desire to go back to the soil, with a central or home farm conducted in a way and with the appliances necessary not only to encourage and to instruct, but also to assist those living upon the other farms; the idea being that the central farm, with the appliances necessary, farmer, will be a source of example, and with the establishment at some central place of a church, schoolhouse, blacksmith shop, creamery, silos, milk separators and other modern conveniences and necessities of the farm, the chances of success swill be increased and the chances of failure correspondingly lessened. The isolation and loneness incident to individual effort in getting back to the soil is thus, of course, avoided with consequent improvement conditions of social life. Under the auspices of the Catholic church, and particularly under the direction of Archbishop John J. Glenon of the St. Louis diocese, there have been established in Missouri a number of such elements which have proven both interesting and beneficial. He was established years ago at Knobview as an Italian colony, which has enjoyed a most successful career. There has resulted a marked benefit to the settler as to the people of the surrounding area have been taught many things in the soil by the foreign farmers that they known before.

Col. Torrey purchased a tract of 10,000 acres upon the southern slope of the Ozarks, which he is selling to deserving people upon terms which practically place it within the reach of all who are looking for an opportunity to engage in farm life who have not the means available to do so. That Col. Torrey is interested in developing good citizens, as well as good farmers, is manifest from the fact that he is selling to them a few tenants, or those to whom he sells a farm, shall own an American flag which they shall, on proper occasion, display from their homes. These farm home colonies are all established on the same general plan. A attract of land is divided up into different farms with a central farm and village. The land is sold or rented on such terms as puts the opportunity to become a farmer within the reach of any deserving man. The profits or returns to be realized from such an investment will, of course, vary according to the size of the farm purchased and the character of the soil. Horace Greeley said that a man could make a living for himself and his family upon five acres of land, or come land and not true of other land. But it is not the same land properly cultivated, with cows, hogs and chickens well managed, a good living can be made on a comparatively small investment if the enterprise is conducted with industry and intelligence. It is, however, always dangerous to "count your chickens before they are hatched." The results in farming enterprises, as in other enterprises, will usually short of fall expectation. Bad luck, accidents and other misfortunes will, of course, confront the farmer. But if he has "the right stuff in him," the land will yield him a liberal return if he will use good judgment, work hard and stick to it. He can then be independent of the beef trusts and other trusts; enjoy luxuries that the city man of means cannot compensacy an increase in the cost of living when he realizes that he is a producer as well as a consumer.

Defective Page POPULATION CENTER Indiana Professor Locates Exact Spot in Deep Gully. Country's Hub Has Moved 31 Miles Northwest During Decade—Mon- ment to Typify Westward and Northward Trend. Bloomington, Ind.—The center of population of the United States as figured out by the bureau of census at Washington, is one of the wildest spots in Indiana. The center is about four and one-half miles south of Unionville and seven miles east of Bloomington. According to the census of 1900 the center was six miles southeast of Columbus, Ind., and thus, during the last 10 years it has moved seven-tenths of a mile north and approximately 11 miles westward, more than twice the westward over the movement of the town. The westward movement of our population center during the past 120 years is shown as follows: Census. Yrs. Nearest Town.

Strange as it may seem, the center of such a large and important population comes very near being in Brown county, noted in Indiana as being the state's wildest and most backward in civilization and development. The center is just over the Brown county, in one of the most inaccessible parts of Monroe county. Trees and underbrush are so thick that the sun seldom shines on the center and then only a part of the day, for the "cen- INDIANA PORT WAYNE INDIANAPOLIS TERRA HUTE UNIONVILLE 1911 COLUMBUS 1900 Present Population Center. ter" is in a deep raving, the banks of which are difficult to climb. As soon as the announcement was made at Washington, Prot. William A. Cogshall, professor of astronomy in Indiana university, located in this city, began the work of establishing the center according to the figures given, in order that a monument may mark the spot, as has heretofore been done in Indiana, which state has been honored with the distinction of having the center of population within the census of 1890. Prot. Cogshall has a difficult trip on his preliminary survey, the described as follows: "With the data furnished I drove east of Bloomington six and one-half miles, nearly to the Brown county line. I found the neighborhood of the center to be in an unbroken second growth forest, thick with brush for about two miles. The road up there is perhaps the worst in the state of Indiana. The center itself lies off about a half a mile from the road in a deep gully, the growth timber from twelve to fifteen feet. The growth is so thick that it is almost impossible for a man to make his way through it. Before the center is definitely and finally fixed, it will be necessary to make a night trip to the place so that observations may be taken from the stars." The ravine in which the center is located is typical of Monroe county. Brown county ravines and anyone who is in a gully in this part of the state known to be overcome. Young trees are so close together that sometimes the hunter can hardly squeeze through. The ravine containing the center is noted for game. Rabbits, squirrels and pheasants abound and at the same time rattlesnakes and spreading vipers are not scarce. In the spring the ravine are glowing with the bloom of the red bud and the dogwood and birds sing and multiply disturbed. Canned Hymns at Funeral.

Ranches of Henry Miller Are Veritable Paradises for Tramps—Once Bought All the Sheep in Nevada. San Francisco, Cal.-The cattle king of the country is Henry Miller, who owns millions of acres in California, Nevada and Oregon. Most of this cattle and sheep ranges but about 30,000 cent is cultivated, the crops being used to fatten live stock. Cattle raising is his business and he has made a tremendous success of it, and is worth $20,000,000. He buys cattle and sheep and hogs, lean or fat, runs them on his own ranches, shipping them from ranch to ranch to utilize all the grass and stubble, puts his own grain into them, and when they go to market they always make a profit. He buys in tremendous quantities. He once ordered his head sheep foreman to buy all the sheep for sale in Nevada at any reasonable price. He buys the cattle all but 15,000 head, which were hold at five dollars a apiece, which he thought was too high. He reported to Mr. Miller in southern California. Without a pause Mr. Miller said "Take the next train to Nevada and buy them." His ranches are models of neatness and order and thrifty management. Every one of them is under Mr. Miller's direct, personal supervision and for forty years he has been travelling from ranch to ranch, inspecting his property, directing the planting of his herds, buying and selling. Each ranch is managed by a foreman who has sub-foremen for the farming and for the care of the cattle and the sheep. Over several ranches constituting a group is a superintendent. But every ranch is under the constant personal supervision of Miller himself. He has unexpected times and closely examines the gardens wastefulness as a crime and everything in and about the ranch HENRY MILLER must be kept in apple pie order if the foreman is to retain his job. The foreman's wife is held responsible for the housekeeping and cooking for the men. Despite his habit of close supervision, he allows great freedom of action to his most trusted higher employee. He is often generous to people who have no claims upon him. The cook at every ranch has orders for every person who stops there hungry and asks no questions. Anybody who resists one ranches at night may stable and feed his horses, lodge in the ranch house, and eat with the employees, without charge and without question. A man who needs meat may kill a sheep or a calf from Mr. Miller's herds, provided he uses the meat himself and does not sell it. Of course, these things are more than generosity; they are a protection against the spite of the predators of thieves; but the indicate a pretty broad-minded man, too. He has to make concessions to necessity in other ways; he is known by everybody and he has to travel thousands of miles along a wild country. He is frequently held up and robbed in consequence; but he never attempts resistance nor reports such incidents to the officers of the ranch. He did, the next man who robbed him, probably him, so he usually carries a little money, and charges the *observer* to profit and loss. Once he was robbed in Pacheco pass by a Mexican, who took $200 from him. Mr. Miller knew the man, and reminded him that he was a long way from home and asked the highwayman to lend him enough for expenses. The Mexican handed back a $20 gold piece and disappeared. Savvie later, Mr. Miller saw him on the street in Hanford and offered him $20. "I borrowed this from you once," he said. "I never saw you before," said the Mexican. "Oh, yes, you did. I borrowed $20 from you in Pacheco pass, three years ago." And he made him take it. But he is a fighter, too. He has "hawed" more, as the old-timers say, than any man on the coast. He employs an attorney in nearly every town near his ranches, and he will any legal dispute to the last resort. I VE YOU READ THE APPEAL? PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY ADAMS BROS.

Copyright 1909, by Harris & Ewing. SATURDAY AUGUST 19, 1911. SEGREGATION The motives which inspire the white people of the country to segregate the Afro-American population in every possible way, from residence districts, theatres, schools and even churches, all have their origin in an intense and unreasoning race-prejudice, more intense than exists in any other part of the world. That prejudice has virtually eliminated almost every vestige of true religious sentiment from the American mind and sophisticated its reasoning power to marvellous degree. Hence those motives, one and all are earthly, sensual and devilish. But it by no means follows that the effects of the idiotic rage of the white brethren are, or will be such as they anticipate, so far as the Afro-Americans are concerned. In fact, in our opinion, it can be clearly shown that in many instances the results have been of great benefit to the oppressed race. In this, as in many other instances mentioned in history, the result of a great struggle has been just the exact opposite of what the origina- Chiffka DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

The war, which was intended to nationalize slavery in the United States resulted in its overthrow. The toleration of the lynching of Afro-Americans, with the view that it would be confined to the wrong-doers of that race has resulted in prevalence of atrocious forms of lawlessness all over the country, investing it, in some instances with power to defy even the state-government and inciting it with sufficient malice to murder the officers of the law. Now segregation, the result of hate and prejudice and intended for an evil purpose, has in many instances produced effects just the opposite of what were intended, as can easily be shown by some specific instance which we shall adduce. In many of our cities Afro-Americans are rigidly excluded from certain "residence districts" and not allowed to purchase or rent property therein for love nor money. In some of those cities, the Afro-Americans have bought suburban homes and made neighborhoods of their own and very attractive neighborhoods in the bargain. They have entirely deserted the courts and alleys in which they formerly lived and for which they paid high rents to the white landlord. And these neighborhoods have given rise to a large class of Afro-American men who are doing business and being supported by the people of their own race. Such neighborhoods are found in St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago and many other cities. So, in such instances, the segregation has resulted in giving the trade of the race of the men of the race, and in taking it from the white men who used to monopolize it. We are well acquainted with one southern city which is actually and completely surrounded by suburban settlements of Afro-Americans, so that white people who wish to live in the suburbs are compelled to pass outside of that ring and purchase property further out. And contrary to the usual rule, the property owned by the Afro-Americans is rapidly increasing in value and receives a full share of the improvements ordered by the city authorities. Again, segregation has compelled the Afro-American to become the owners of millions of dollars worth of school and church property owned and controlled by themselves and such schools are rapidly being recognized as the only ones to which the Afro-American can safely entrust his young females. It is a known fact that, especially in the South, the managers of schools for the Afro-American give themselves but little concern as to the character of their employees and care but little whether they are clean or unclean, competent or the reverse —anybody is good enough for "niggers". Hence, many of such employees are drunkards, libertines, grafters, and care but little for the welfare of their pupils and know that the trustees care as little as they do. The knowledge of this condition of things is the real reason why the Afro-American is taking such interest in the establishment of schools managed by men and women of his own race and not by the offasts of the white race. Such are some of the unanticipated results of the devilish doctrine of segregation. CULLMAN ALABAMA A visitor to this city gives the following account of a town in Alabama: "Cullman does not allow a Negro within her corporate limits. The town was originally settled by a lot of German immigrants from Europe and Pennsylvania shortly after the civil war, and after about ten years' experience with a large number of Negroes who lived in the town and surrounding country, the people decided they would have to get along without the 'brother in black.' So they notified all the Negroes to get out and stay away for good. This policy has cost the town heavily, however, because all the surrounding Negroe trade now goes to other towns, and thousands of dollars are annually lost to the Cullman merchants. Cullman affords a fine illustration of what fools people can make of themselves. The town is of course surrounded by a dense population of Afro-American farmers and the town trade is just about nothing. Any one visiting Cullman, will doubtless find a poor little starveling hamlet, with not a decent store, hotel, or saloon in the whole place. The brother-in black is not losing much by being tabooed by Cullmanians. According to the annual census of school children in Jefferson county Arkansas, there is a decided preponderance in favor of the Afro-American children. The number of Afro-American males is 7,619, females 7,892, white males 2,382, females 2,246, and they are all making good too. --- In his veto of the Statehood bill President Taft calls the Recall dangerous.

It should be made into a sort of "joy ground," according to the opinion of Joseph J.

We have a tract of land living a short distance north of St. Paul and Minneapolis, and southwest of Duluth and Superior, in a region of remarkable resources and opportunities. The soil of this particular locality is a peculiarly rich, prolific loam of a great depth, which is evidenced in its wild state by the variety of wild fruits growing there, such as the raspberry, blackberry, gooseberry, strawberry, blueberry and several kinds of cherries, and by the luxurious growth of red clover, blue grass and timothy, which has sprung up voluntarily among the other vegetation. A soil which will produce in a wild state this variety of vegetation, will respond quickly to cultivation and will be found wonderfully productive when scientifically cultivated. The clearing of this land has many adva- tive value, the trees have added materi- le of building material, fence posts, etc., use attached to clearing is partially if not SCHOOL The schools in this district are excellent exacting and the education received in the prior to that of a great many small cities.

Description of property, prices a THIS IS THE OPPORTUNITY FOR A The clearing of this land has many advantages, it furnishes free fuel, an item of great value, the trees have added materially to the richness of the soil and the price of building material, fence posts, etc., is made much cheaper, so that all the expense attached to clearing is partially if not completely off set by the returns. The schools in this district are excellent. The requirements for a teacher are very exacting and the education received in these rural schools is equal and probably superior to that of a great many small cities in other localities. Those who have examined our properties must concede that we offer some of the best garden, commercial fruit and diversified farming lands in the entire State of Minnesota.
