Why Our Naval Officers Are Super

1t is generally recognized, even by
foreigners, that the officers of the
American navy are superior class of
men to those of any other nation. This
is due to the fact that no fsvoritism, no
influence, can be brought to bear to
secure anyone a place on an American
warship. Every officer is practically
born into the service, going into the
navy at such an age that even his
opinions can be nodded by those in au-
thority over him. The exclusiveness
of the sea arm of the service has often
been criticised and efforts have been
made to allow commissions to issue to
men who have not passed through An
napolis, but who can pass the required
examinations. But the bars have never
been let down since the civil war, as
they have been in the army, and oil
the men who direct affairs on the Unit
ed States vessels are graduates of that
world famous naval academy, with the
exception of few high in rank, who
showed their merit during the struggle
between north and south.

BIG Year For the Farmer.
The following is from a gOyernmer

statement:
The farmers of the United States are
drawing upon other parts of the world
for more money in the fiscal year
which ends with this month than in
any preceding year in the history of
the country. Even the high water
mark of 1892, when our exports of
agricultural products amounted to
$789, 1928, 232, will be further passed by
the record of the year which closes
with this month. The preliminary re-
ports of May expectations which have
reached the bureau of statistics
make it quite apparent that
the agricultural exports of the year
will be considerably in excess of $780,
600, 900, the total for the year being
likely to reach 1885 900. 600. Never
before have the exports of agricultural
products reached this $500, 900, 600 line
and never but twice have they been as
much as 500 OOO, OOO the two occasions
in which it passed the $500. 600. 900 line
being in 1891 and 1892. Compared with
the last fiscal year the increase in ex-
ports OF ayr cultural products will be
fully $3.50 900, 900, and compared with
the preceding year the increase will be
over $3.50, 900, 900, while the total will
be fully so per cent in excess of that of
the fiscal year 1895.

E. L. Wemple said yesterday to re-
porter of the Commercial that although
the process is still in an experimental
stage, its success is confidently expect
ed. as this rubber is derived from vul-
canizing the oil of corn, and will prov e
particularly valuable in the manufac-
ture of mackintoshes. since it is not
liable to crack or degenerate with time.
Mr.. Wemple also said that the new
process will be particularly valuable
in the manufacture of bicycle tires, as
it is thin, durable and capable of with
standing much more pressure than the
kinds now in use.
1.-THE process" added Mr.. Wemple,
twas accidentally discovered several
months ago by one of the chemists in
the employ of our company, and five
chemists have since been working on
it. The Glucose company anticipate
that the manufacture of rubber under
this new process will become a very
important branch OF their business. /
expect to have samples and specimens
in New York in q short time. Perhaps
| it would be too much to say that the
discovery will revolutiouize the rub
Der trade. If the oil of corn properly
treated and vulcanized will ecOnomi-
cally produce superior article to the
product of the South American rubber
tree, great changes in many depart
ments of the rubber industry may be
| fOreeeen."

Texas Crop Report
Dallas News

Dallas News ....- .... .... ...
The first of the 1898 series of crop
reports of the News shows decrease
OF 6.6 per cent in the cotton acreage,
or approximately 100000 acres less
than last year. The corn acreage has
been Increased by s3 per cent. The
sources from which these estimates
are made are the reports of $50 cor
respondents in 1877 counties of the cot
ton. growing sections of the state
Divided by districts. the reports are
from SO correspondents in the coast dis
trict, lO3 in central Texas,
43 in east Texas, 81 in north Texas
not much new land opened up, although
every community shows some. The
new land was usually planted to cot
ton, but more thauenough old land was
planted to grain to cause reduction
in the acreage of last year and absorb
the small increase in new land. The
condition OF the corn crop seems to be
excellent, while the cotton crop is very
good. At the date of writing cores
pondents in the more central and
norther portions of the state had a
great deal of complaint concerning
the excessive rains that had fallen.
The eastern, western and southern
outskirts of the state do not seem to
have been so seriously affected, but
have been treated just about right in
the matter of rain. Where the Excess
slve rains have fallen cotton is getting
badly in the weeds and grass. In many
instances it is already thare, while q
few fields will have to be abandoned.
The rains have not injured corn in the
least, but on the other hand have prov
en- beneficial. The corn crop is about
made, or is considered beyond danger.
While the increased acreage is
not 30 very great, the yield
will be immense as compared with
last years mediocre results.
Wheat and oats in the rain-burden-
ed sections of the state, which are the
heaviest grain parts, are In bad shape.
Those fields th at have not been touched
with reapersare too muddy to admit of
them now. and the small portion of the
grain that has.been harvested is sprout-
ing in the shock. Some of the uncut
grain is dead ripe and falling to the
ground; in other sections it has fallen
TO the ground. Some farmers in the
Indian Territory sent to Dallas, Kansas
City and St. Louis for the old
fashioned cradles, with which
they can only save the
grain. The cotton fields were clean at
the beginning of the rainy period and
farmers were generally well up with
their work. With cessation OF the
rains it is probable that farmers will
plant is healthy, but is, on an average,
about two weeks late. The cold nights
retarded the growth earlier in the
season. There are few complaints of
bugs, worms and other insect pests.
Lice are reported more numerously
than anything else. The Mexican
weevil has been seen in a few fields.

"Chief," says: I'VE won't keep house
without DIR. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Expert
mented with many others, but never got
the true remedy until we used DIR. Kings
New Discovery. No other remedy can

idle to experiment with other remedies,
