THE United Statas now produces more
coal than any other nation, though we
do not export much more than a traction
of the quantity exported by Great Brit
tain. That is due to the fact that we do
not have the necessary shipping. Con-
suls IN nearly every nation which buys
coal tell the same story-that it is all a
question Of transportation. Whenever
the United States extends the protective
system to its shipping in the foreign trade
tn naticn will Lave plenty of ships in
that trade, and will outstrip England in
the expectation of coal as it does now in
its production.

All homegrown foods of perishable

heads of families groan with envy.
Watermelons, notwithstanding that
several hundred freight cars Of this
juicy fruit roll northward to Kansas
City, can be bought at any time from
July to coldwcather for five cents each,
and those of size and sweetness un-
surpassed. Musk melons, delicious as
nectar, are five cents dozen, although
these, too, are sent away literally. in
carloads. Spring chickens are 25 cents
a pair; sweetbreads, 10 and Is cents;
beef and lamb, Is cents a pound.
Grapes-alas, this luscious crop is
nearly given away cent pound for
the best. The reason for this humble
price attached to so fine fruit is
that the crop natures and is in its
prime during the heat of August, and
shipment is impossible except in ref"i-
gerator cars, which are too expensive.
And so the whole population revels in

Another reason why Oklahoma piques
the interest is that almost everyone re-

sprang into being as land for civil
