The n-American congress is already
bearing good fruit. The report Of w.
e. Curtis, director Of the bureau Of
American republics, shows that trade
between the United States and the re-
publics south of Us is increasing greatly
Cities that have hitherto imported all
their goods from Europe are finding that
what they want lies just at home, here
in. the United States The increased vol
ume Of trade is proved by the large
additions to the Spanish-American mail
matter. Merchants from the United
States are sending commercial travellers
to Central and South America In mum
bers, something they never did before.
Apparently there is no danger that
farmers or manufacturers in this coun-
try win lack market for all they have
to sell

As to what irrigation has already
done for the United States, Secretary
Rusk recalls the statement made ten
years ago that not eleven millions Of
tillable land remained east Of the one
hundredth meridian. Now there are
over fifty millions. of farming ground
under actual cultivation. and this is
owing to irrigation, which Is as yet only
at the beginning Of its possibilities

His history is briefly told.
After several days OF thought he discov-
ereda sure way to make money. and, like
other men, he was in a hurry to try IL.
He made haste to insert an advertise
ment something like the following In sev-
eral country weeklies:
Sure way to kill potato bugs; send twenty
two cent postage stamps to x. Y. e., ---. for .
receipt that cannot fail.
Then he hired dray to bring his mail
from the postoffice and had 10000 Of his
receipts printed. Inside OF two weeks some
thing like 1900 or 1000 farmers had con-
tributed twenty two cent stamps each for
the printed recipes.
Then several hundred Of them bought
clubs and railroad tickets and started out
to interview the advertiser. At his ONCE
they were informed that he had left to at.
tend to some business In Europe, aud he
was not expected back. All he had left
was package Of 5000 or 1000 slips OF pa.
per, on which were printed the following,
"Put your bug on q single. Then hit
It with another shingle. - Chicago Trib.

Indian citizens N oklahoma.

The next new state to come into this
Union viii probably be Oklahoma. It
has already population Of so 900, more
than Arizona contains. Itpromises to be-
come one Of the finest agricultural states
in the Union. Its population will there
fore be Of the class that makes the bes.
and most conservative citizens. The
territory was opened to white settlers
April 20, 1889. During the past year
there have been already under cultiva-
ton %, 900 acres. It has been found that
all the crops which grow in Indiana and
Illinois will thrive here, and that cotton
win do well too Besides that Okla.
homa promises to rival in time even Old
Virginia as q peanut state. Several
hundred thousand fruit trees have been
planted, and berry crops Of fine quality
are raised In abundance. This summer
$24,250 worth Of wool was marketed
from the boomers territory.
Therefore Oklahoma has already made
her record e. an agricultural region,
When certain lands how soon to be
opened to settlement are added to her
territory she win have an area Of 49,
100000 acres. This viii make the terri,
tory almost a. large as Indiana In con-
nection with Oklahoma the most inter
esting fact 10 that within her borders are
1919 Indians who are taking lands in
seyeralty. They win become farmers side
by side with white men and give their
aid toward developing the splendid agri-
cultural resources Of this young terri
tory. Their progress win be watched
with interest. II the Indian can be civil
lied at all it viii be here. II he can be
civilized then he need not drift out to
extinction, but win mingle his blood
