Billions Of Bushels Of Corn.

The agricultural statiSticianS at
Washington are able to figure out
with certainty that the corn crop of
this year. that is safe from frost will
exceed $500, 900, 900 bushels, which
will meet the demands of the world
this year, and the next if the crop of
1908 should be a failure. This prod
uct of the farms is a tremendous con-
tribution to the wealth and the food
supply of the nation. In amount it
exceeds last years crop by 1000, 000,-
600 bushels and that of 1900 by $780,
900, 900. Last year, corn by reason Of
it's sctrcity sold as high as 90 cents in
Kansas, and the average price was 60
cents bushel. The whole crop sold
for 1929, 900, 900, bnt in 1899 corn
sold as low as 10 cents in some regions.
The great crop of this year means
wealth to the producer, or at least
more ease and less debt, if it can be
sold TO advantage, which it will be
sold to advantage, which it will be if
the consumption can be increased
through the prosperity of the country
and large expectation to foreign
countries. When all indl strieS are
being worked to their greatest capac
ity, when money is plenty and the
people hava it to spend, and when the
foreign trade is being expanded, and
a judicious reciprocity with other
countries Swells the expectation of
food stuffs, corn can be expected to
maintain a good price, or to decline a
smaller per cent than the per cent
added to the crop. The conditions of
industry and commerce are such in
this country today and prOspectively
that the enormous corn crop will be
carried easily and sold at prices which
will insure a profit TO every producer
on his work and land.

Trees Belong to Property Holder.

The supreme court decided that
shade trees in front of mans resi-
dence although located on public
property, belongs to him. The case
in which the. decision was made was
one in which a property owner sued a
telephone company for cutting of the
limbs of his trees. The decision is of
interest to all property holders and
corporations. The law, however.
holds that property owner who has
trees growing along the highway
must not allow limbs and branches to
grow until they intefere with the
travel OF pedestrians or vehicles.

Mrs. EVERY had been sufferer for
many years, out she bore her Attic.
ton with fortitude and until few
days before Der death hoped that she
might regain her health sufficiently
to live few years longer with her
family.
With the natural eye she looked
out on the river of death appalled, by
the force OF the waves; but DIS she
gazed afar with the spiritual eye she
beheld no disturbance, but on the con-
trary she felt that she was moving
with the true poetry of motion ac-
cording TO the eternal fitness of the
plan of an ill-wiSe God.
So completely was she filled with
the spirit Of God, that with her earth
ly ills almost constantly pres
emit. she exemplified the life of duti-
fui wife, a kind. loving, atfectionate
mother, neighbor and friend be-
loved and respected by all who knew
her.
She approached the close of her life
on earth realizing that Jesus was her
attendant and was taking her from
midnight into the eternal brightness
of noon day sun; leaving evidence
in her own lang uage by often singing
and repeating these words:
''The cross now covers my sins,
The past is under the blood
l am trusting in Jesus for all
My will is the will of my Cod"
She leaves devoted husband, one
daughter, an aged mother, three Sis
tiers, two brothers and many other
relatives and friends to mourn her un-
timely death.

the house with soldiers. No carriages
were obtainable for the wedding party
because the livery luen of the town

the true friend of labor grieve; that
frequently make public sympathy a
doubtful quantity at the beginning Of

Predictions OF one political status
of the next congress are now being
made. There is no doubt among re-
publican leaders chat there will be a
substantial republican majority in
the next house to give President
Roosevelt the undiyided support OF
congress to the end of bis first term.
Chairman Babcock, who has had
direct charge of the republican con-
gressional campaign, says the republi-
cans will carry the next house by a
larger majority than theS Gid in 1898,
the last .off year" election. In In
diana the republicans claim nine dis
tricts, concede three to the democrats,
and regard one as doubtful.
