A CENTURY’S PROGRESS | From the advent of the railroad until the beginning of practical aerial trans- portation there elapsed approximately a century. The mighty advances of science and invention which camte in between these “vention an old fashiontd prayer were arrivals here yestei epochal events were so great as to tax the | imagination.

The advance of the past hundred years appears all the more remarkable when we reflect that mankind has lived and labored under some sort of civilization 16,000 years. The achievements of the last century have been greater than those ‘ of all the hundred centuries which pre- | ceded it. H These achievements were strikingly | portrayed by the big fair held in Chicago ' this year in celebration of “a century of “FREE NEWS” : (Star-News, Medford, Wis.) ‘When, Clark McAdams, editor of the editorial wane of the Post-Dispatch, talked to the National | “Tree news,” he wasn’t talking about news with- out cost.
