Americans have been so disconsolate
over the failure of the corn crop, from
which such great things are expected,
says an eastern exchange, that they
have almost overlooked the fact that
the wheat yield this year is likely to
exceed the early expectations by sew
ersl million bushels. The experts now
estimate winter wheat at 425,000, 900
and spring wheat at 800, ,OO0, 900 bushels
- total of 725, ,oOo, 900 bushels. Last
years crop was 522. .oo0. 900 bushels and

Roosevelt Entertained Minneapolis.

Philadelphia. Sept. 3.-Seven thou

parade here. Twenty mounted police
men led the line. Close behind came
Joseph B. Allen. Of the House Painters
Union, chief marshal of the parade,
rious organizations in carriages.
White gloves were worn by all the
members Of the Typographical Union
In the first division, and the men made
q fine appearance. At the head OF the
cigar makers came a float showing a
gigantic cigar box with union label.
Another float showed four cigar max.
ers at work, and the cigars made on
tho way were tossed to the spectators
along the curb, creating many a lively
scramble.
At the end Of the Hardwood Finish
ers' line came q float bearing q rather
unique motto:
Life Without Labor
Is Crime.
Labor Without Art
Is Cruel
Then came delegates OF the Socialist
party, bearing banner inscribed:
Use Ballot and
Abolish
Wage Slavery.
After the parade the organizations
went to Washington Park, on the Della
ware, where Max Hays. Of Cleveland
editor of labor journel, made an ad

n 1850 there were $50 cite. or
Gowns in the United States having
M...i.s Of peopl. "re than 1000
population, an d
;ftse total EUnbcr
o3 inhabitants in these towns was
l2,OO0,O00, or one-qro,r.er of the whole
at that time. In 1890 the percentage
OF city populatias was found =, be
steadily on the increase. Then were
then 905 cities or towns having more
than 1000 persons each, the urban
population making a total of 20, ,OO0,-
600, or one-thiid of the populaai ion
OF the whole country. Still more
marked is the same tendency accord
ing to the census of 1900. There are
now 1O,602 Incorporated towns or cit
les In the United States, OF which
'3s have more than 100000 populnt ion
each. The ,cembined population of
the cities and towns having more
than 1000 inhabitants is now ;Ss, ,OUO,-
900, or one-half the whole popula ii ON
of the country. All sociologists rec
ognize how unfortunate the tendency
OF the masses to congregate in cities
is. 1t means more prisons, more
crimes and more idleness. There is
no such safeguard of the national
morals as n sturdy peasantry. 1t is
this that has long kept France from
decay, and it is this which nav be
reOkoned as one of the chiefest safe
guards in America. Cities are the
great nest-hiding localities OF the
depraved and criminal classes. 1t is
in the cities that political corruption
most thrives. 1t is true that cities
have their advantages for some, but
for the ignorant classes, such n very
largely immigrate to this country,
the cities are the breeding places
Of crime, idleness and misery. 1t is
q sociological fact that the poorer
a country and the greater the op-
preston and the squeeze Of taxation
the greater the tendency to mass
in cities. where the people cam the
better hide from the tax gatherer
and criminal prosecutor.

considerable interest, especially during

The winner, Miss L. E. Maxwell, is
an extremely popular young lady, ami
has cause to be proud of her victory.
Miss Bershe Meginn Miss, who was second
in the race, is also popular and has
hundreds of friends. That she did not
win is no reflection on her popularity.
It simply shows that the friends of Miss
Maxwell were more determined that

0. Z. KELLEY'S EXPERIENCE
Power of the Press and Female In
fiuenCe ExtoIled.

Mr.. o. H. Kelley, of Carrabelle, was
here Saturday on business trip. Mr..
Kelley informs US that the derrick for
the oil well is in position and that part
of the machinery for drilling is on the
ground. TAeHerTick, which is 12 feet
nigh, was completed Saturday. The
work of boring will begin in a few
days.
81 have every confidence that we
shall strike oil,::' said Mr.. Kelley. "The
people to whom the contract has been
awarded are very confident too. They
are experts in their line, and their
years Of experience in the different oil
fields of the country IS guarantee that
they have faith IN the prospects.
eve are building high hopes on the
success of our efforts or the money re-
Quired to do the work would not be in
vested in the enterprise. We propose
to go down 1000 feet, or more, if nee
essary, although we are confident that
we will strike oil before reacnlng that
depth"
In further discussing the outlook for
Carrabelle growth, Mr.. Kelley said:
1uSTO are IWO lTIOSlSIIDIO lOICC6
that 1 always try to enlist for any ell
terprise l undertake. These are the
ladies and printers ink. An enter
prise is given respectability by the
former and publicity by the latter. No
movement ever failed that had female
influence behind it, and when this i'm
mense influence is supplemented by the
almost irresistible power of printers
ink the success of the undertaking is
assured.
when / left home up in Michigan to
go to Chicago to carve out a fortune,
my mother gave me this piece of ad-
vice: '1f you wish to be a favorite
with the young ladies, be sure and
cultivate the old ladies. If you are a
faYorite with the ladies, the men will
certainly stand by you. In the many
years that hive passed since that time
! 1 have discovered the truth Of her
words, and by making friends Of the
ladies, have invariably secured the CO.
operation of the men,
