Indianapolis. Anotlier transcontinental highway Is to traverse Indiana In the near future, according to arrangements made with representatives of the Iloo-ijer State Automobile association bv the secretary-treasurer of the Atlantic-Pacific Highway association. The Atlantlc-Pacitlc route is declared to be the most direct route from New York city to Los Angeles and the one more apt to be passable every day In the year. The Athintie-racJtlc highway will enter Indiana opposite Mu Carmel. III., running then to Patoka. where It will, connect with the Mate highway system of roads, going

to Princeton and thence east to Winslow, Jasper, French Lick, West IJaden and Paoli.

John Inglls, crop expert, reports wheat crop has steadily declined in condition from its early promise. Some parts of the Wabash bottoms and ' limited .an as around Fvansville and Seymour promise :ia average crop. Even in these favorite localities there are so many thin and unpromising fields that general average will be low. Northern Oldo and Indiana have some fair wheat, but the greater part of both states shows a low and declining tendency. Would estimate probable yield of Indiana at o0,(KX).000, as against last government report, 32.000,000, and Ohio at :!4,000,(HiO, as against government's last estimate of ;:0,fMMMXO bushels. Too early to make any reliable estimate of final yields, as weather conditions during harvest are of great importance. Anderson. The presence of much rust in Madison county wheat has caused many farmers to doubt the theory that the barberry bush or hedge was the cause of a spread of rust in wheat. The barberry has virtually been exterminated in .Madison county by direction of agents from Purdue university and while doing so many persons protested against having to remove barberry shrubbery from it heir premises. It was argued that with barberry eliminated rust in wheat would be overcome, but In Madison county this year wheat suffers more from rust than for many years. Smut and the Hessian lly also are doing damage and farmers assert the yield will be reduced by the three pests. Indianapolis. Analysis of the annual school enumeration in Indiana, of persons from six to twenty-one years old, completed under the direction of the deputy state superintendent of public instruction, shows that in cities the school age population Ts 11,177 greater than last year; that in towns it Is DO!) greater and that In townships it is l,o:MJ less. The 1021 cities' school age population is 387,407; the towns, .T.),104, and the townships, SiJS.lKK.. Ia 11)20 the cities gained 12,4o7, towns lost 4,158 and townships lost 2,K5T.

Scene in Settled Portion of Guatemala.

(Prepared by th NKtloiutl G'-Kraiiic Society, Washington. D. O.i The creation of a "United States of Central America." and troubles between Manama and Costa Rica which almost led to war, have drawn attention to the countries south of (he Caribbean sea recently more strongly than at any time since the completion of the Panama canal. Nowhere else In the world has Nature been more bountiful in her blessings of natural resources than in the Caribbean region. Kverything that her treasurehouse holds has been bestowed with lavish, and also with impartial, hand. Someone has observed that if you tickle the ground with a hoe it smiles back with a yam and certain It is that In any one. of these countries the ground of natural resources may be tickled with the hoe of foreign capital and It smiles liack with yams of wealth. These countries are nearly all favored alike In natural wealth, but there Is a vast difference in 'the development of that wealth a difference that may be attributed almost wholly to the character of the governments In the respective countries. In some of these lands the milk ami honey of plenty Hows In a bountiful stream. Others are In wretched poverty, when the masses never have enough- to keep the gaunt wolf of hunger'froni gnawing at their vitals day ami night add year In and year out. In traveling through these countries, one Is impressed with the fact that prosperity abides with good rub' and poverty dwells with misrule. Differences in Development. Stalling out with the easily demonstrated fact that there Is very little difference between these countries In their natural resources. It Is interesting to look around and notice what a vast difference there is In the use that Is being made of this natural wealth. One need not go out of the confines of Central America to see this. It would require six Salvadors to make one Honduras, and yet Salvador has twice the population of Honduras and n larger foreign' commerce. Costa UIca Is less than half as big as Nicaragua, and yet Its foreign commerce Is greater than that country's. And yet, when Salvador ami Costa Itlca are compared with Porto Ulco, they in turn seem to be slow In their development. Porto Klco is so small that seven islands like It would be required to cover an area equid to that of Costa UIca, yet It has a foreign trade more than fifteen times as great as that of the Hanana Kmplre. Porto Uico Is less than half as large as Salvador, yet it has a foreign tral over thirteen times as great. Little Porto Uleo is o small that It lould be burled In a single Central American lake; It would take .77 Is lands of Its size to equal Central America In area and yet Porto Klco enjoys about three times as much foreign trade as ail Central America together from Tehunntepec to Colombia. The reason? Because compared to these Central American republics Porto Uico has an Ideal government. The trade of the Island ha increased sevenfold since Uncle Sam took possession there. The number of children enrolled In the schools ha increased sixfold. The wages of the laboring class has multiplied threeVoid even before the war. Honduras Is a Laggard. Honduras In some ways lags behind its neighbors. And yet it 1 rich in natural resources almost beyond Imagination. With vast deposits of minerals of all kinds, with untohl thousands of acres of the finest tropical fruit and vegetable lands In the world and with vast areas of magnificent grazing and coffee lands, Honduras is at our very doors. It is Too miles nearer to Chi?ngo than that city is to San Francisco; it is closer to "Washington than Denver is; it is farther from New Orleans to Chicago than It Is from Puerto Barrios and Livingston to New Orleans. With a stable government, Honduras must become a kingdom of plenty instead of a principality of poverty. Across the border I prosperous little Salvador. It 1 as different from Honduras as night is from day. It has a population so dei'.ie that If ours

it

were of equal density we would have a population of 7(HUHX.(Vi) In the continental Fnited States; and, although nearly half of the country is mountainous, the ieoplc are normally able to get their living out of what they pioduce and still have a comfortable balance of trade In their favor. The Salvadorean people are different from those of any other Central American state. They have a middle class. There are thousands of little farms not much larger than a .goodsized city block, and yet It is here that the real prosperity of Salvador Is created. In no other way could a million uhd a quarter souls find subsistence on 8,oo square miles of territory, nearly half of It mountains. Nicaragua and Revolutions. Nicaragua Is in much the condition of Honduras There have been revolutions there since the memory of the inhabitants runneth not to the con trary. Here one sees a thousand op portunities for the development of great wealth. Virgin forests of all the precious woods in the category extend ing for miles on end; coffee lands where millions of pounds of splendid coffee might be grown; sugar lands which might yield hundreds of thousands of sacks of sugar; and yet all stand idle. Wh ? ' Ask 'the American cuifee growers of the Matagalpa ' district; ask 'the cotton growers 'of Cam no Santo. The revolutions conic along ami leave their coffee to spoil imgathcred and their cotton to go to waste unpicked. Ask the financier from New Orleans who spent -O years of hardships there try ing to gather together a comietence, and who finally found his business wrecked and in the hands of the re ceivers. CJlven good governments, 'then, no countries on the mal would afford greater opportunities for profitable in vestments than those of Central Amer ica. With such governments as some of them have had heretofore all their natural wealth cannot offset the dis advantages of those governments, and an Investment at 4 per cent In tin Fnited States has often been preferred to one yielding PX) iht cent In some of these countries. When we come to Costa UIca, things are beginning to be different, and Cosa UIca does not like to be reck oned in the same clas with Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. Until re cently she has had scan-ely a revolution in a generation. Panama which Is geographically a part of Central America, though it lias not been politically so since independ ence was gained from Spain, Is blest with some very line farming and fruitlands in the region next to Costa Uica; but nearly all of the Panamans have gone down to the canal zone rglon fr the time being. Some of the mot beautiful tlerra templada lands in America are to be found In the Chiquiri country and when the people of the Unit;! States get acquainted with the possibilities there, some of them are going to settle In that re gion and make it a splendid example of the possibilities of tropical America. It is not Improbable that one of the icsiilts of the completion of the Pana ma canal will b the realization by the people of tin United States that Its safety depends in no small degree lqmn the gid conduct of-the govern ments of Central America. That will mean a demand for a new order of things In these countries which in turn will mean afe investments for American capital. Ti.en will iav.ii an era of develop ment In Central America comparable to that which ha i taken place in Porto Uico and iti Cuba.

G Grateful Son Says His Father Looks Like Different Man Since Takina Taniac. 'My father has suffered from chronic stomach trouble for over twenty years and lias paid out thousands of dollars for medicines ami doctors," said G. YV. Slayton, a wellknown Cobb County farmer, living a short distance out of Atlanta, IIa. "We tried nearly everything trjing to cure him and he went off to the Springs, thinking maybe the water might help him, but it Just lookeit like nothing would reach his trouble. Then he tried dieting and lived on liquid food until he almost starved, but even that failed to do hlui any good and he just kept going from bad to worse. "I don't guess there ever was a case as stubborn as his, and if there ever was a confirmed, dyspeptic he was one of them, 'and 1 guess lie would have been one yet if it hadn't been for this Tanlac. "The first we heard of this medi cine was when my father saw an advertisement in the papers from parties he knew in Tennessee, who were friends of ids and he knew what they said about It was the truth, so he got it right away and began taking it. Well, sir. It acted Just like magics everybody notices the change in fa ther. Why. he is just like a different man and sits down to the table and eats like a farmhand. Only yesterday he ate pork and turnips for his dinner and ate so much we were actually afraid he was going to overdo the thing, but he laughed and said nothing hurt him now and that he was hungry and expected to eat and make up for lost time. Xow, when a medicine will do things like that I think people ought to know about It, and I want to say right now that I would not give one bottle of Tanlac for all the other medicines and health resorts in the country put together." Tanlac Is sold by leading druggists everywhere. Advertisement. A New Missouri Version.
