Buceess is to be won, not by constantly lopking back, but by looking ah#ad.and going ahead, resolutely, courageously, intelli gently, patiently, worthily. Difficulties serve but to temper the steel that is in strong men. The United States should to-day turn its eyes forward, not backward. Opportunities populate the present and the future, not the past—it is dead. What lies ahead? What are America’s prospects! How will this land be affected by the convulsion in Europe! 2 Will we be helped. or injured? Do we face depression or a greater prosperity than we have ever known! Very temporarily, we mnst expeet disturbanees in certain in dustries. But what of the longer, larger future! The preservation of peace in America during and following the European war should, combined with other developments, bring these fruits: | I—A greater population. ) 2—Greater trade. 3-—Greater prosperity. 4—CGreater patriotism. ‘ 6—Greater co-operation. | 6—Greater breadth of vision. ? 7—QGreater skill in arts and artifices. ‘ B—QGreater opportunities for laber, 9-—Qreater opportunities for capital. 10—Greater industriousness. 11-—Greater regard for sensible thriftiness. 12—Greater contempt for extravaganece. 18—Greater consideration for home industries. | it:grou::r elonuid:ratixn for home pay envelopes, ‘ . reater love for Amerie i heunts and American institutions. .

This realizing sense of the nation's eneness, this noble exhibition of read iness to unite ynselfishly for the gen eral weal, is, Indeed, one of the finest fruits of the whole epochal period we have passed through.

Four countries other than the Unit ed States offer each a market for more than $1,000,000,000 worth of for eign products—the United Kingdom, Germany, France and the Nether lJands. Great Britain buys $3,000,000,- 000 worth, about 20 per cent of which is from this country; Germany, $2,- 500,000,000, with 15 per cent from the United States; France, $1.500.000,000, of which 11 per cent is from the United States, and the Netherlands, -~ : arew Rich, Wed Jap, Returns in 10 years ST.

These countries vary greatly, however, in the proportior: of their purchases from the United States, Canada taking 65 per cent and India 3 per cent, according to the official figures published in the volume. As a market for American products Indla is only one-third as important as Bragzil: Austria-Hungary is equal to Cuba; Japan is about 15 per cent as large as Canada, and China is only half as large as Argentina.

LAND FAMINE WILL FORGE BIGU.S.NAVY. SAYS AUTHOR Naval Writer Points Out That Two English- Speaking Nations, With One-Tenth of World’s People, Contro] Half of Its Fertile Area. | By EDGAR STANTON MACLAY. Author of ‘‘A History of the U. 8. Navy,'’ ‘‘A History of American Privateers,’’ ‘‘Reminiscences of the Old Navy,’’ ete. It would be prudent for the people of the United States, at this most critical period of the world’s history to consider carefully the racial and territorial problems of the globe, as they present them selves to-day, and shape our Governmental policies accordingly. That the world is rapidly approaching the time when all the desira- ble lands will be pre-empted can not; be doubted. Indeed, it is a land fam ine that is the underlying cause of the present world-wide upheaval. Not that the earth actually has ruchod} the acute stage of overpopulation, Ar all its inhabitants were evenly dis tributed, for the latest estimates show that the average is less than 30 per sons to the square mile, while the earth’s capacity is about 100 people to that unit of measurement. Conditions Are Grave. But the earth's po&ulnuon is not evenly distributed. hile there aro‘ vast areas in the Western Hemi sphere, in Africa, the great islands of the oceans, and even parts of Eu-‘ rope and Asia, which scarcely have begun their development, there are many sections where the popuiation, owing to racial, territorial and polit fcal limitations, have been seriously congested for many Vears. Sc serious has this econdition be come that in China millions of na tives have been compelled, literally, to “step off the earth.” In the city of Canton alone it has heen estimated that 300,000 men, women and chil dren have permanent homes in sam pans, junks and even rafts. | Even In Western Europe we find a similar condition of overpopulation. In Holland several millions of indus trlous people have been forced off tide-level land and are now dwelling on the reclaimed bottom of the North \Be... They, in truth, have been crowded off the earth—quite as much ‘lo as the enormous floating popula tions of Easterp Asia. We get a clearer understanding of this serious condition when we realize ‘that of the 52,641,102 square miles of land on this globe, fewer than 30,000,- 600 are suited for the support of man kind. Ernest George Ravenstein, F. R. G. 8, estimates the earth’s fertile area to be a trifle over 28,000,000 ‘square miles. | World Population Limited. - Centuries of practical experience have demonstrated the fact that this fertile land will not support, on the average, more than 100 human beings per square mile, from which it 1s fair to estimate that the world’s popula tion is limited, necessarily, to thrpe » Gypsy Girl, 16, to Wed Boy Year Her Junior SEATTLE, Sept. 28.—George Merino, 16 years old, and Evelyn Mitchell, 16, of gypsy familles who live In Seattle, have a ?ued for a license to wed, after the rrr had become the ward of Joseph Me rino, the boy's father. 2 George appeared in knee breeches in the Auditor’s office. His father made the application for the license. The girl, dres-og in the bright-colored dress and shaw! of an FKastern gypsy tribe, sat indifferently through the proceedings. “When boys and girls get married young thag don't spoll each other,"” sald the elder Merino. ————————— Wife and Children Save Man From Jail SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26.—R. 8. Gundy was saved from prison by his wife and three small children after pleading guilty to having passed a worthless cheek. ‘““Have you any good reason whz= you should not be sentenced?’ Judge Gavin W. Craig demanded. ““Yes; four reasons—the best reasons in the world,” replied Gundy. “My wife and babies. They are helpless without my su?port." : After a scathing lecture on the futility of resorting to a criminal solution of the problem the court granted probation. I Mistak Inspector Istakes ~ Flowers for Weeds LOS ANGELES Seft. 2. — W. C Furrey belleves that nsgectors of the street department should at least be qualified to differentiate between weeds ‘and flowers and shrubbery. _ This he intimates in a letter to the ' Board of Public Works in res{)onu to & communication from the ‘‘clean-up” bureau, ordering him to cut the weeds on his vacant lot. “Perhaps the Inspector mistook the flowers and shrubbery for weeds,"” 1s the ironical comment of the writer.

Already it has exceeded more than half of this limit, and it needs only a brief calcud lation to show how, under natural conditions, the earth's population of 1,600,000,000 will reach the 3,000,000,- 000 mark in a few generations. Of the earth’'s fertile area, the United States controls about 4,000,000 square miles, and Great Britain about 12,000,000, & total of 16,000,000 square miles, or more than half of the earth’s available 80,000,000, The English speaking population of the United States is about 90,000,000, while that of Great Britain and her ecolonles is about 60,000,000, making a total Eng lish-speaking fopulnlon of 150,000,- 000 in the world’'s population of more than ten times that number, or 1,500,- 000,000. Foresees Great Conflict. These flgures are highly signifi cant, They show that the English upeakln; race, composing only one tenth of the world’'s t;'mpula,t.lon, con trols more than half of the earth's fertile area in the face of the remain ing nine-tenths of the world's popu lation. How long will it be before the 1,500,- 000,000 people of various bloods, who are now conﬂneg to less than half of the earth’'s fertile area, will take up arms against the 150,000,000 Xnglish lﬁeaklng people who are holding more than one-half of the earth's fertile area? In the llfht of these facts, pregnant with appal lng possibilities, can we not gppreciate the wisdom of British statesmen who for several hundred years have insisted on maintaining the fighting strength of Britannla's navy to a point where it Would be equal to that of the combined strength of any two %sslblo adversaries? Cost Was Infinitesimal. ~ To be sure, the cost of maintaining ‘enormous fleets all those years was great—a serious burden to the tax payers. - But how infinitesimally small the sum total of England’s naval ex penditures for a thousand years ap pears when compared with the incal culable value of the territory con trolled by the English-speaking race to-day!

JAEF{SUIIHIfHIAHE, A CITY WITH A SKY LINE AND A WATER FRONT, AND THE SPIRIT THAT DOES THINGS. A FEW FACTS BY THE STROLLER. THE BARNETT NATIONAL BANK, | Of Jacksonvilie, Fia. Already Great, and Growing ’: Greater. ' Capital, $750,000; Surplus and . Profits, $753,589.96. Total, $1,503,589.96. A Bolid Bulwark of Protection to Its Depositors. If any single institution of Jackson- 1 ville might be selected as typical of the growth and development of the city, as {llustrating the processes ¢f that growth as they have been influ enced during the past 30 years and more; if any institution has been pe cullarly a consistent part of the com- ‘ ;mercla.l and industrial expansion, keeping time and rhythm with that movement in its ever broadening lines, that institution is the Barneit National Bank, founded in 1877 by W. B, Barnett. It started as the Bar nett National Bank In April, 1908, and stands to-day a tangible and ca mulative expression of commercial achlevement. It has earned and paid out in dividends since then $457,509, and carried to surplus and profts $753,689, making a total of $1,211.039. Its deposits reach the magnificent sum of over $6,000,000, and bills pay ‘able it has none. ~ As I have already sald, the bank was founded by W. B. Barnett., His son, W. D, Barnett, 18 chairman of the board of directors, and his high character and abillty first started this bank on {its successful career. The bank’s large resources and un surpassed facilities peculiarly fit it to handle properly and satisfactorily the accoynts of municipalittes, banks, corpeorations, firms and individuals, and it places the most advanced ac commodations at their disposal. It pays 4 per cent interest on savings accounts, compounded quarterly, and by the open sesame of its perfect gys tem of banking places it in direct correspondence with all the large ‘banking centers of this country ald labroa,d. Letters of credit bearing tha .lmprlnt of the Barnett National Bank 'are honored the world over. ' With such advantages, it stands to reason that commercial activities are ‘heightened by identification with th s ‘bank. The officers of the institution are ag follows: Frank Adams, presi dent; George R. DeSaussure, vize president; A. G. Cummer, vice presi dent; R. E. Wheeler, cashier; GV R. McQuald, assistant cashier; C. 3. ‘Llonxlo. assistant cashier, and Georzge 'A. Kirk, Jr., assistant cashier. ~_Mr, Frank Adams, the president of ‘the bank, is one of the best known men in the State, a man of wonderful ability and having large interests ‘throughout Florida. Such, in brief, is the history of the ‘Barnett Natlonal Bank, the story of ‘big things from little, showing tae possibilitieg of achievement that wa't on uncompromising honesty and sin gleness of purpose, linked with intal ligence in the realm of banking, the qualities that have found expression in the character and career of 'ts president, together with all of his as sistants, an Inspiration for eve.y young man beginning a business ca- Teer. .

It has been the experience of every middle-aged man or person, to use a homely expresgion, to cry over spilled milk, and it seems a part of human nature and will probably always be the case. It is the “might have been” that haunts us all in one form or an other, but the one thing that perturhs our reminiscences most is what ve might have been worth had we earlier in life taken advantage of the low prices of real Bstate in some quar ters that we know of that have he come fine rwaentm sections. The land might one time been bough® for a song, and that was the regson nobody wanted it. But those tvh.) might have purchased it and did not do so were not so far-sighted ag che man who bought it subsequently and lived to see himself a millionaire by a small outlay through what some cail luck. When those who have lived to see a city grow beyond its original bounds are told that the same oppor tunities for aoquiring wealth are al- ways present, they are loath to be lieve it, put the process of growth is always going on now, the same as ever, and there is no limit to it; nor will there ever be. And right here near Jacksonville, at what ln,known as Brentwood, history is going to re peat {tself. The Brentwood Realty Investment Company, with a capital stock of $500,000, organized Septem ver § 1912, is exploiting a large tract of close-in suburban property known st Bremtwood. It lles due north of the postofice and less than 21-4 miles from Bay street, and, notwith stamding the fact that this concern as omly deen in existence two years snd has only deen actively gelling for eighteen months, its sales are nearing ihe qur:u-m::uon-dollu mark. This property ls being developed slong high-class lines and is belng snld te the wery best people in Jack sonvil and the State, and it should nterest others outside the State who are desirous of investing or locating iy this deantifn) eection. And it sto &l of such that this article is direct pd, BErenmtwosd aslready has a num ber of beagtiful homes owned and ' pocapied by refined and cultured peds ple, and in view of its nearness to the meart of thd city, iis convenient street car transportation, its modern con lven’.onm (such as electric lights, fine artesian water, telephone connec tiens). to say nothing of high ele vation, beautiful shade trees, cement walks, viirified brick streets, etc, lßrentwod is an ldeal place either for the home builder or the investor. Jacksonville is growing by leaps and bounds, and Brentwood lies right in the path of her immediate growth, and values are, therefore, increasing accordingly. No one shouid visit Jacksonville without availing himself of the opportunity of seeing this beautiful suburb, and at the same time investigating the extremely rea sonable terms upon which the lots are being sold. The officers of the company are C. W. Bartleson, president; B. F. Hamp ton, vice president, and W. D. Shep pard, secretary and treasurer. All are too well and favorably known in business and social circles here to require any comments at my hands.

A marked fea ture of the trade and which is yearly becoming more notable is the demand for pure and high-grade goods, and where competition is so rife, as it is to-day in all classes of human effort and especially in the malil order liq uor business, we may be sure that those houses +which have achieved success fullys deserve it from inher ent merit, and from the manner in which the business is conducted, I called a day or two ago on the Atlantic Coast Distilling Company, makers of pure rye and corn whisky and the largest mall order house in the South, and the manager sald that some peo ple had a wrong idea In regard to the sale of whisky; thinking because “their prices were low that they must therefore send out inferior whiskles, but that is not so. And don't let com petitors hoodwink you. All of the ctompany’s goods are guaranteed un der the United States pure food and Grugs act of June 30, 1906, and their quotations are based on 18 cents per gallon gross profit. This Is as much as the company wants. Small dealers who eell from ten to fifty gallons daily at a profit of $1 to $2 per gal lon, make more money, than this com pany does, because as Barnum sald the people want to be fooled and pay fancy prices. I only mention this lact to show that it pays to patronize only such houses as have a reputation to maintain. That is the ecase with the Atlantic Coast Distilling Company. The company numbers its satisfled customers by the thousands and a ‘trade has been established covering the States of Florida, Georgia, South ‘Carolina, Alabama and North Caro lina, the latter State being the origi 'nal location of this company, they moving to Jacksonville from Win ston-Salem about six years ago. The company’s special brands of whiskies ‘are Gold Band, bottled in bond, and }Zuleka Corn, popular with every con sumer who has ever once used them and constantly growing in favor ‘with the consumer. Make this house vour favorite source ‘of supply and get the best. Any orders placed with the house are sure to result in satise faction and a continuance of rela tions once entered into.. M 3 ¥ ‘Smithdeal is the president and man ager, and Ray M. Tesh, secretary and treasurer. THE POPULAR PALACE | HOTEL. 3 Mrs. J. B.
