AMERICANS WILL BE THERE Opportunities Offered In Abyssinia Are by No Means Likely to Be Long Overlooked. After his visit to the United States one of the Abyssinian visitors admit ted that he knew now why there were no Amerton un in Abyssinia. As bc bud Been him at home, the American, so tho stranger from Abyssinia decided, ls not given to blow and (. dlous travel ing. He wants to get about quickly, and Abyssinia, with nothing faster than a pack mule, offers no Induce ments of rapid transportation. "That, lt seems," said the Abyssinian, "has kept the American mon out of our country. It is too bnd. We need bridges like yours* we need streets like yours, and we need mea like yours to direct the building of them." Commer cially and Industrially, however, the truth probably ls that Abyssinia has not been "discovered," and whon that happera the American man will come and build his own rapid transporta tion?

Birds Have Hight of Way. Fowl have the right of way in air, warnB the director of military aero nautics. This ls justice indeed, since birds flew first But this ls not all. Recently many towns along the Atlantic coast have been visited with dead bird showers. Aviators flying by a town would see. a flock of wild fowl coming their way. They would set their machine guns and let the bullets fly. Presently a prominent citizen walk ing below would be hit with a large, bloody bird. He complained to the town, and the town complained to the department of agriculture. Then the federal migratory bird low between the United States and Great Britain was referred to, and lt was found that shooting birds from airplanes ls un lawful. The Wrong Man.

Toward eve ning when the doorbell rang I told our little colored maid to answer lt and show Mr. Blank into the living room. I rushed Into the room which was half dark, somo minutes later and threw my arms around the gentlcmnn who roso to greet mo nnd kissed him soundly only to hear a strange voice say, "I called to see If I could Interest you In a wonderful set of books I nm showing today."

The output of pent In tho United States Inst yenr far exceeded that of any precedlug year and the general Increase, which was stimulated by the war, was shared by practically all branches of the Industry. Though ex tensively used os fuel In Europe and widely known tn the United States as a potentlnl source of heat and power, peat has been unable to compete with coal and many pent operators have di rected their attention to tho utilization of peat In agriculture with gratifying results. Pent fertilizer was first marketed In commercial quantities In 100$. and stock-food peat In 1012, and though there ls still some prejudice against Its use the agricultural branch of the In dustry has been successful and the quantity of fertilizer and stock-food peat annually produced ls Increasing. Large quantities of these products were made las* year, btit the mo8t striking development was tho produc tion of more peat In the New England States than has been manufactured In the entire United States In nil preced ing years. Almost equally striking was the widespread Interest manifest ed In pent resources which had been generally regarded as of doubtful value. Large quantities of pent or sphag num moss were produced and utilized for stable litter, packing material, and surgical dressing, and several hun dred thousand acres of peat soils were used for the growth of crops. Tho peat litter was produced by the own ers of small hogs for their own use, but the packing material was sold to florists for $25 a ton. According to J. W. Hotson of the Red CTOBS more than half a million peat pads wore prepared In this country for that organization. Most of the moss was gathered by volunteers from bogs In Washington, Oregon and Maine, and the pads were used in military hos pitals at home and abroad. TOWNS NOT FATED TO LIVE Communities East and Weet, Founded In High Hopes, Are Now Practi cally Things Forgotten. Western papers tell their readers that the town of Emerson, Okla., is shortly to be a thing forgotten, re- j marks the Hartford Courant It was , mapped out ns a town site shortly j after the territory was opened for set- : tiennent, and the promoters had i dreams of a metropolis. In 1007 the | plan was abandoned, and now the dis- I trlct court has been asked to vacate the land for town site purposes, when what might have been a town will be come farm land. The story of Emerson suggests what came near happening to a Connecticut town In the beginnings of the colony. ' Those Interested in lt showed rare sense In their choice of a sile, and In their dreams planned not for a towu but for a city. Hampden and Crom- , well were to be among Its citizens ; the cream of England, so its promoters hoped, were to become Its citizens. Pate ordered otherwise, and the early days of this dream town are remem bered now largely through Lion Gardi ner's account of his struggle to hold the site against the attacks of the In dians. Other states, notably the mining commonwealths of the West can du plicate the story from Oklahoma, but few can equal the romance of the Con necticut settlement Better than Pills ^GET^?
