a Finds His Despite Great Wealth ae Railway Magnate Is Little Known Thrice He Captained His Own Yacht ‘Aloha’ Around the World New York, Nov. 1.—Arthur Cur- tiss James, the twentieth—century’s foremost railroad man, is an east- erner, but he believes in the west. It was his belief in the west that first prompted his interest in the railway business apparently. The many, many millions of dollars he has paid for securities all are in- vested :n \.estern lines. It is highly Serer iate that this be so, because the James millions originally came from the west. Ar- thur Curtiss James’ grandfather, Daniel James, founded the family fortune—helping make history the while—out of participation in cop- per, silver and gold mining enter- prises. Daniel James was an asso- ciate of Anson Phelps and William E. Dodge in the great Phelps-Dodge metal ventures. Unknown by Public Despite his oldings, Arthur Curtiss James hadowy sort of figure in the yy world of to- day. He is an important factor in the control of more railway mileag> than ever was controlled by Harri- man, Hill and Gould together, but ia far less publicly known than any of these three were in their heydeys. He is listed as one of the ten richest men in this rich country, but he seldom steps into the limelight— never, in fact, when he can avoid it. It is said he has: tripled the for- tune left him by his father, D. Wil- lis James, and that he has doubled it-since 1915. So his silver spoon no means tells the whole story his financial importance. “Twice a year James makes a trip ta the. west and southwest, visiting js railroads, and about once a year inspects his mines and copper in- re, in Arizona and New Mexico. ough he travels in his private car @nd is accompanied by his secre- taries, there is little ceremony and nothing to s~ gest the railroad king’s retinue. To his associates James is a ge- nial. energetic, approachable man who likes people, likes a good joke, enjoys good food, and works like a tiger. His movements are quick and rapid, suggesting extraordinary nervous energy. Most of tle men in positions of trust in his companies are of sim- ilar type, and are men of his age, sixty—some of them older. Most of them have been with him for years. ‘ James is of medium height, with a tendency toward expansion at the waistline. He is one of the few capitalists of this country who wear beards. A very frequent tvinkle in » his eyes challenges: the dignity his beard Strives to maintain. Hats Are Antiques Quite different té his appearance, James often wears hats that have seen years of service. His straw hats, particularly, usually are sug- gestive of former styles. A wrinkle or so in his suits never bothers him. In the summer, James practically commutes between New York and Newport, R.

John Philip Hill in Campaign | for Reelection | Baltimore, Md, Novi 1—(®)—| A thrice-decorated veteran of the world war is applying army tactics here to the waging of his political | campaign, in which he seeks re-elec- tion to congress for a fourth term. Col. John Philip Hill, nationally known for his wine and cider tests | while a member of congress, is in} comitand of his troops. He is sur-; has an “army” of workers. At his campaign seat, known as general headquarters, a large, vari-colored war map spreads over a huge table, Small flags and pins denote the lo- cation of the “troops,” the various headquarters, the strength and weak- ness in the enemy lines and positions where immediate verbal assaults are Le jections Are Map) The army is divided into three army corps, representing three ge- VETERAN SEEKS |; beg lige candidate for con- ress, ‘hese sections are again divided on the war map into wards, which represent army divisions, the divisions in turn being grouped into precincts, which are the regi- mental groupmgs. Finally the regi- ments ar divided into city blocks, which are the military companies. Each company ts commanded by a man and a woman captain. 2 The “buck” privates are the ul- timate workers and voters. Military Style Used Each day the candidate goes to general headquarters and scans his huge war map. Necessary changes in the various sectors are made with the pins and flags. Orders, in mil- itary style, are issued to the divi- sional commanders and bulletins are read. The automobile of the chief- staff is summoned and a tour of inspection along the various “fronts” rounded by a staff of “officers” and | is made. olonel Hill was decorated with the Legion of Honor, the Croix de Guerre and the Distinguished Serv- ice medal. While serving in con- gress after the war he made cider and wine of more than one-hajf of one per cent alcoholic content in order to test the legality of Section 29 in the Voletead Act, which has te do with the manufacture of cider or fruit juices. g Milk kept in roomy, shallow ographical divisions of the third con- gressic district, in which URenNEUMETUEEUEROUEEOOUNUC UNH HUH NAM reATHAT HNN Burleigh County Raisers and} Experts from State Agricul-; tural College Cooperate to Determine Definite Rulcs for Judging of Field Stands Do you know how the corn’ in your field stands, as judged by free- dom from weeds, yield, maturity, stand and freedom from disease? Farmers and farm experts from Burleigh county have been working on the problem for some time, and have decided upon a definite man- ner in which the corn should be judged. The chart follows: Freedom From Weeds 30 Points Rated high because freedom from weeds affects both yields of corn, and of the succeeding grain crop. It Iso determines the chance of get- ing a successful stand of grass, clovers or alfalfa that may be seed- ed with the succeeding small grain four days of each week in the hot city at his office desk. His New- port home is a palace, even for that millionaires’ re: In it, the Crown Prince of Sweden and other foreign notables have been cnter- tained. Golf, riding, and the other forms yof exercise that are supposed to keep business men fit interest James but little, but he is an en- thusiastie yachtsman. He is a for- mer commodore of the New York + Yacht club and is owner of the “Aloha,” one of the ,most palatial yachts ‘afloat. crop. Yield Get the weight of corn from 100 hills in a row. Calculate the num- ber of hills in an acre by dividing 48,560 square feet by the number of Suae feet of lard allowed per hill. ultiply this latter result by the yield from 100 hills to get the yield lee acre. Repeat this method for st least five rows in the field taken equidistant apart across a repre- sentative section of the field. Divide the pounds per acre by 75 pounds to get the bushels per acre if diy enough for storage; by 80 if cob and kernels are still quite soft; and by 90 if corn is very sappy. The yield James encoiied in the New York Nautical col lege for five years, and has a master’s license, giving him the right to captain his own boat. ‘Three times he has sailed around the world in the “Aloha.” He and Mrs. James frequently take long cruises. In 1918 the “Aloha” went from Sandy Hook to Gibraltar in 16 days and 22 hours. Mistaken For Rum Runner About two years ago the “Aloha,” ywith its owner on board, was report- \‘ed fired u by a Coast Guard rum chaser while en route from New York ie hig cee daans nes hee ing to his summer home greet ie Ceeryn Prince of Sweden, his guest. An unseen vessel sent two shells across tho yacht’s bow. Fog was heavy at the time. A complaint was filed hy James at Washington.

Take the average of the five trials as the official yield. Maturity 20 The more nearly mature both corn and stover have become, the more real feed has ben produced per acre. Stand 15 Count the total number of hills in 5 rows keeping a separate record of missing hills. Calculate the per- centage of missing hills, Count the number of stalks bearing ears in 100 hills, divide this number by 100; if the quotient is less than three stand is too thin in the hill. Missing hills and too few plants reduce the yield per acre. Freedom From Disease 10 Look for smut on the stalks, etc., and for ear, stalk and: root rot. The presence of a large amount of root rot tends to make the fields unsuit- able for wheat the following year.
