About ten years ago Sister Fannie conse-
Grated herself To the Lords use. In His
service she was loyal and true; the church OF
Jesus Christ was as dear to her as her own
life She delighted to see the disciples Of
Jesus dwell in peace and harmony. In
her death our church has lost the association

cents bushel since July 6 means $4,000.
900 more for the entire crop of the country
than wou have been realized had the price
remained where it was, and of course large
portion of this profit will be rcaped by the
farmer.
This means the paying of of many mort
cages, the increase in thousands of bank
accounts and the expenditure of millions of
dollars for luxuries, which many farmers
have not been able to buy since the panic of
1893, because of the low prices which they
have been compelled to accept for their pro-
ducts. The turning of the farmers profits
into goods Of many conceivable kinds means,
of course, prosperity to other classes Of the
community-hence the revival that Is already
manitesting itself in all parts of the country
because of the wealth into which the har
vested grain is already being rapidly turned
There are also heavy exports Of corn this
year, but the price of corn has advanced but
little compared with that of wheat. This is
due partly to the fact that there will be an
enormous crop this year. and there is not
the same demand for it in other countries
that there is for wheat. However, the high
price Of wheat and the cheapness Of corn,
has served to increase the foreign demand
for corn, while wheat has somewhat fallen
off.
How high will wheat 20? is question
that is asked on every hand. Plenty of
grain men regard it as probable that the
active speculative future will sell at $110 to
$l25 There are just as many think the
highest notch possible has been reached.

The oft quoted expression that the
sun never sets upon the British standard
is equally adapted to the American BIZ
cycle now. There is scarcely nation or
principally upon the globe which the
product of the bicycle manufacturers of
the United States has not invaded. Dur
ing nine months Of this year, including
September, the value of the exports Of
American bicycles and sundries was
So, 1876, 657. Allowing $25 as the aver
age value of each wheel, these figures
would be equivalent to 1876, 616 bicycles
shipped in nine months, or an average
of l4,06S per month or 563 per day.
Great Britain was the heaviest pur-
chaser, the exports to that country
amounting to 81, 020,97 British North
America is the next heaviest purchaser.
To that region cycles were shipped
worth 1904, $40. Australia took $500, :
Gil worth, France $1lS, 76O and all
other European countries bought Ameri-
can cycles to the value of 1886, 966.
American bicycles are in good demand
in our sister republic, Mexico That ma
ton bought $S7, 6S7 worth. Cuba took
81, worth; Santo Domingo, SAYS;
Argentina, $13,98S; Brazil, $16.S40;
Colombia, SIG, 1856; China, TAB, and

become purchasers of American wheels,

for coast defenses? To make that navy
fully effective it must have waiting
and equipping stations at points the
nearest possible to localities of shore
or sea where its services are most
likely to be required in emergencies of
either peace or war. 1t would be waste
of paper to argue out this proposition.
The military and naval authorities of
the United States safe enough TO say,
back it up unanimously. Now take a
map or chart of the North Pacific and,
scanning it carefully, say if there is a
more available or eligible site for a
United States naval station than Homo
lulu or the adjacent haven of Pearl
Harbor? With the .junct of a cable,
this would be, for defensive purposes,
under many circumstances more valu-
able to the United States than the
most fortified position on the Pacific
Coast. From these Islands an enemy
approaching by any route across the
ocean would have an excellent chance
of being intercepted and kept from
getting within striking distance.
Hence also could relief be sent with
expedition to the Coast defense squad
ron, if it was hard pressed. The same
observations will apply to dealings
with both the enemy's commerce de-
stroyers and his commerce to be de-
stroyed by the American dogs of war.
1t is extremely doubtful if expensive
Notifications would, in view of the ma
ture of modern enginery of war, be
necessary or even useful to protect the
station. Would it not be the part of
wisdom, then, as well as corollary of
the activity being displayed in Ameri-
can coast defenses, for the United
States to acquire a naval station here
without delay? There is no saying
how soon the necessity would follow
of having its value demonstrated.
The best way to attain the desired
contamination is to grant the request
of the Republic of Hawaii to be al
lowed to adopt the United States flag.
1t is only precarious tenure, suscept-
ible of loss through the eXigencies of
her home policy, by which the United
States now holds the privilege of es-
tablishing naval station at Pearl har-
Dor. And it is tenure that would not
be a decent preteXt for an ''irridentist"
claim after the conclusion of peace,
if an enemy of the United States
should, either from be..igerent neces-
stiles, or for the sake of the prize it.
self, have seized the islands in any pos
sible war. If the United States had
possessed the group before hostilities,
however, the chances would be strong
that, if the islands had been snatched
from her in the struggle, she would
not have been reduced to such a posi-
ton as to accept any terms of peace
that did not include their restoration
to her possession. The islands, with
a proper squadron guarding them, too,
would be less likely to be attacked
when the enemy would know that, if
he seized them, the United States
would be extremely apt to demand
them back again at the earliest oppor-
tunity.

size desired.
