According to Prof. X j. Baker, Of
Crescent city, who has made the ex-
pertinent on his own farm, the Soy -
bean is one OF the most profitable
crops for the oklahoma farmer TO
raise. II requires one and half
bushels per acre for seed. The ex-
penses per acre the professor esti-
mates at Sll.2G The yield per acre he
puts at 2s bushels, which, at $3.50 per
bushel, less 80 cents for transportation
rates to market, leaves the producer a
net profit per acre OF S8l,14. Prof
Baker says that the cultivation Of the
Soy" bean is one Of the richest fer
tilizers and nitrogen gatherers, and
from a scientific standpoint its value
TO the soil cannot well be over
estimated. IT could do no harm for
our Logan county farmers to expert
ment with the Soy bean on mod
crate scale

yORETOwNS CAPTURE {
Take the Cruiser
While it iS on n Mission
of Mercy.

washington. April is-The capture OF
th. Yorkton's men was discussed with
much feeling in naval circles. The mis-
fortune was felt with added koenness as
the navy has prided itself thus far on
Immunity from rcverses. The admirals
dispatch of today was the first know
ledge that the department had that tho
Yorkton hda gone on tnis special mission
% relieve the spanish garrison at Baler.
That The capture should have been or
fected while the American forces were
ON mission OF mercy towards the
Spanish, rather than in The prosecution
of Is campaign, led to the belief that
Spain would have no further grounds
lor questioning The good faith with
which the Americas were seeking to
relieve the condition of the Spanish pris-
oners.
Although ths dispatch gave no indica,
ton that Lieut.. Gilmore and his men
had lost their lives, yet great anxiety
was aroused by the mystery surrounding
their fate while IN the hands Of an UNI
civilized enemy. This is the first cap
ure of any Americans, military or nayai
so that IL IS unknown how the insur-
gents viii treat our men. If civilized
methods were pursued an exchange could
be speedily effected as General Ous has
"a large number of Filipino prisoners but
the Insurgents have been adverse thus
far to exchanging Spanish prisoners and
This raises a question as 10 what they
will do 10 She Yorktons men.

Omaha World Herald The fable Of
the rats which held convention to
discuss ways and means TO protect
themselves against the cat, and de-
cided that the best plan would be to
bell the cat, is familiar TO all. After
deciding TO bell the cat, an old, gray
whiskered veteran suddenly asked (;
Who will bell the cat ?"
Who will bell the cat ?" has been
for many years a common method Of
expressing doubt as TO the ability Of
guarding against any threatened dam
ger. And now, after al these years,
1t has been answered. The trusts have
uslled the cat. They have succeeded d
in securing an attorney general who
makes big talk and always announces
his coming in plenty OF time to allow
the trusts to find safety. John w.
Griggs is not, however, wholly to
blame for the exemption enjoyed by
the trusts, The trusts have right to
demand anything they want from the
present administration. for it Is to
these trusts more than to any other
agency that the present administration
owes It's power The attorney general
Of the United States is the Official
charged with the duty OF prosecuting
offenders against the federal statutes,
or seeing to it that district attorneys
prosecute the offenders. The trusts
were very careful to see that 40 one
would be appointed attorney general
who would prosecute them for their
flagrant violation Of the anti-trust
law. They were very fortunate in the
selection OF Griggs, for he not only
neglects TO prosecute them, but he
actually goes so far as 10 pass upon
the power of the law, and declares
that IL does not cover the case and
cannot be used against the trusts lie
is beiled cat that gives ample warn
ing Of approach

The weather cleared about II O'Clock,

liantly. The song was listened to by

the steps of the Queens private en-
trance to the palace, just below the
