AIM
In the October number of "Word and Works" a magsaine of which Rev. Irl.lt. Hicks is editor, he has an account of the local Chautauqua. He closed his chautauqua engagements here and was very much pleased with his reception as his article which is as follows, shows: "At Richmond, Indiana, on the afternoon of Thursday, August 26th, this editor closed his chautauqua itinerary of, fifty-eight days, having left home on the morning of July 1st. and returned on the morning of August 27th. At the close of our lecture in the afternoon at Richmond. Indiana, the managers of that great chautauqua urged us to speak again at the evening hour, requesting that we give the audience some specific predictions covering the immediate future. In compliance with this request, before assembled thousands, we read from our closing forecasts for August in our 1909 Almanac, our warning of West India storms in the regions of the Gulf of Mexico, and our forecast of seismic shakes to be central on August 30th. As we had been practically forced to give the audience of three to four thousand people these predictions, we claimed the right, and did challenge them to watch reports and decide for themselves whether or not our forecasts were fulfilled. Than this audience of thousands at Richmond, a kindlier, more intelligent and attentive assembly is rarely to be found on this planet, and it no doubt goes without saying that the awful torms in the south, in which thousands of human beings perished, and Dver thirty millions in property were destroyed, also the earthquakes in Panama on the 30tii, and in Rome and various other places over the globe on the 31st, were duly noted by all who were present and listened to our forecasts and our insistent demand that they be watched. The fulfillments same precisely on the dates named, and all within five days of the hour when we stood before that rapt, tremendous assembly. See the forecasts nd warnings whicn we read and enlarged upon on page 56 of our 1909 ilmanac, which had been printed and :Irculated over most parts of the sarth more than a year before . that jvening at Richmond. "Only another soincidence," eh? Hicks.
WOMEN

Society Queens Will Participate in New York Mayoralty Fight.
CAMPAIGN IS OUTLINED
(American News Service) New York, Sept. 2S. The women of the Four Hundred in this city will be an active .factor in the forthcoming mayoralty campaign. The plans of the Suffragettes, of course, are even broader than that, and contemplate an aggressive campaign ' for women suffrage In many states; but In tha mayoralty campaign In this city, for the first time In this country, women of fashion and of the highest social standing will engage in active campaign work for or against various candidates. The plans of the women have been outlines for the rest by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, president of the National Suffrage association, which has just opened elaborate headquarters at No. 605 Fifth avenue. She said: We expect to get into touch with the candidates who are to run for office this fall. Those who are in favor of woman suffrage, of course, will receive our support. The other candidates also will receive our attention. There are many questions of Interest to women Involved in the opening campaign, such as the question of teachers' salaries, and we expect to be able to put these questions to the front. Women never can get their Just rights without the ballot "I shall be at my office every morning and afternoon to keep appointments with various officials and politicians, as well as with visiting officers of the Suffrage League, and the association expects to make its influence felt in the campaign." Mrs. Clarence E. Mackay, head of the Equal Franchise society, with offices in the Metropolitan Life tower, is another of New York's wealthy anl fashionable woman who is devoting most of her time and energy to furthering the propaganda for votes for women. She is a friend of Mrs. Belmont, and frequently calls on the latter to consult her as to ways and means of furthering the cause. Such women as these have made the canse of woman suffrage fashionable, and are drawing to it the support of thousands of women who previously had been deterred from taking part in the movement through fear that they would be scorned as "suffragettes."

All Government Forests of Prussia Are Welt Managed
"Washington, Oct., 2. Prussia has national forests, covering nearly 7,000,000 acres, which are made up much as if the pineries of the Southern states of this country and the forests of some of the Middle Atlantic and Central states were combined. When forestry was begun by Prussia, a great part of the timberland had been injured by mismanagement, much as American forests have been, and the Prussian foresters had to solve the problem of improving the run-down forests out of the returns from those which were still in good condition. They solved it with striking success. Immense improvement
has already taken place and is steadily going on. The method of management adopt
ed calls for a sustained yield that is, no more wood is cut than the forest produces. Under this management the growth of the forest, and consequently the amount cut, has risen sharply. In 1830 the yield was twenty cubic feet per acre; in 1365, twenty-four cubic feet; in 1S90. lifty-two cubic feet, and 1904, sixty-five cubic feet In other words, Prussian forest management has multiplied the rate of production threefold in seventy-five years. And the quality of tho product has Improved with the quantity. Between 1S30 and 1904 the percentage of saw timber rose from nineteen peroeat to fifty-four percent. It is a striking fact In this connection that in the United States at the present time the people use about three times as much timber as the forests grow. If we were everywhere practicing forestry with a resulting improvement equal to that made In
Prussia, the forests of this country would be growing as much as we use. The financial returns in Prussia make an even belter showing. Net returns per acre in 1S50 were twentyeight cents. In 1865 they were seventy-two cents; in 1900, $1.5S and in 1901, $2.50. They are now nearly ten times what they were sixty years ago and they are increasing more rapidly than ever. These results have been obtained in Prussia along with almost ideal technical success. When what is wanted is a sustained yield from the forest year by year in the long run, it is clearly necessary to have always a certain number of trees ready to be cut; there must be a proper proportion of trees of all ages. This per
centage has been (secured and maintained with almost mathematical accuracy.
The 1'rimioBi of Europe. A traveler who has toured Europe with his wife at $4 a day for the two declares that the pensions are the base of his cheap travel. In every continental city visited they easily found delightful pensions at $1.20 a day each. The pensions have not the style and display of the hotels, but they have all the comfort and the servants fees are fewer and smaller. Breakfast Includes bread and coffee, nothing more. Luncheon and dinner are course meals, very much alike. Some one in the bouse always speaks English.
