Corn and Cotton.
Like corn, both cotton and wheat
seem to have certain well defined linn
its with regard to the range Of local
adaptation and culture in Oklahoma,
cotton being grown mostly on the
warm. sandy soils Of the eastern, cen
tral and southern parts of the terri
tory while the larger wheat growing
areas are to be found in the prairie
regions further north and west. They
are alike in that both are grown as
cash crops and also in that cotton
farming and wheat farming are both
followed as a single crop system Of
husbandry in many Instances. But
while the one crop system may be
beneficial iu the earlier stages of de
velopment in a new country such as
Oklahoma, it never proves TO be an
element Of permanent prosperity.
Diyers.dcaton Is, therefore, essential
to the highest agricultural develop
ment in Oklahoma as st is everywhere

Oklahoma has just passed its six
teenth birthday and is rightly named
as one Of the worlds greatest Won
ders The development in all lines
has been marvellous, but from the in
dustral standpoint is only in its in
fancy To properly place this fact
before the people we submit the fol-
lowing figures, taken from statistics
furnished by the department of com
merce and labor. We make the com
parison with Kansas because of the
'nearness and similarity Of the two sec
tions. The percentage Of the FIVE di-
visions Of the people over the age
Of ten years engaged in gainful pur-
suits is as follows:

The above figures will serve to give
an idea Of what has been done in in
dustrial lines and of the possibilities
for the future They also prove that
we are at this time strictly an agri-
cultural country and that our surplus
is shipped out of the country instead
of being manufactured and used at
home.
The Milling Industry.
OF our raw material the wheat is
the one thing that is being largely
utilized in Oklahoma. We are raising
about 90. 600 900 bushels yearly and but
few of our people know Of the wonder
ful growth Of the milling industry in
Oklahoma. The first mill was built in
1902. and was only a small affair. We
now have seyentyfour mills running
day and night with an average ca
pacity of two hundred barrels each.
Estimating five bushels of wheat to
the barrel would make $4,000 bushels
per day. or 23,164,OO bushels of wheat
per year. leaving a surplus of nearly
1O.O0O.OOO bushels for seed and ship
ment and for the mills that are build
ing in every town and hamlet in the
territory. At a conservative estimate
the plants with their working capita
average about 100000 each, or a tota
capital of about S2.5OO,0OO. Estimating
the profit per barrel at the low figure
of 20 cents per barrel the natura
wealth of the territory each year il
earnings is about s1,060OOO. This doe
not include the profits to the farmer il
the increased price Of his wheat owini
to the proximity Of these mills nor thu
labor employed and the general goo
to the territory at large, and yet W

AvERTED THE DANGER.
Little Likelihood Of Clash Over the
Fisheries Dispute.

All danger of a clash between the
Gloucester and Newfoundland fishermen
has been averted 1t is believed, for this
season by the exchanges between Secretary
Root and Sir Mortimer Durand, the British
ambassador. The Secretary is now await
ing the reply of the London government to
his memorandum, in which he called at
tention to the three main points of differ
ence. This is expected some time within
the week, and Its receipt, it Is believed,
will clear up practically the entire situa-
ton.
The first OF the three points over which
trouble has arisen is the reported attempt
of the Newfoundland government to draw
distinction between vessels of United
States license and those of United States
register, claiming that the latter did not
carry with 1t the right to fish.
That, in the opinion Of the Washington
government, was a matter concerning only
the United States. but 1t was pointed out
that a vessels register was vessels high
with it alike the right to fish and to trade.
The second point involved a recent law of
Newfoundland. which provides that If any
vessel is caught within the three-mile limit
with fishing gear on board, the fishing
gear should be regarded as prima facie evil
dence of criminality and the vessel should
be seized. To that the Secretary entered a
very vigorous protest on the ground that
1t was violation OF treaty rights.
In the third place attention was called to
the report that Newfoundland fishermen,
having taken offense at the recent legisla-
ton forbidding them to sell bait to Ameri-
can fishermen, had determined. in order to
show their dissatisfaction with the law to
prevent American fishermen from fishing
for bait. That determination. If carried out,
1t Is believed, would have precipitated an
exceedingly critical situat on.
The United States case was given very
careful attention by the Secretary and this
government has taken firm stand on these
three points.

as the country can testify, terribly "faddy."
They want their hot water with a dash of
lemon In 1t the first thing in the morning
and mfnistrations Of various kinds between
meals throughout the day. Some of them
may be gratified with a glass of vermouth
half an hour before dinner for, of course,
they dlsdain, or deny themselves, afternoon
tea with its Accomplishments of rich cakes
and cream. The enormous popularity of
creme de menthe is significant of the deli
cate digestion of the modern man. for this
fascinating green liquor is only a subli-
mated version Of the homely peppermint
cordial of the country farmers wife Many
doctors, however, do not approve of it.
10! sum up, 1t is certain that there is
nothing more destructive of good looks in
both sexes than even slight excess in eating
and drinking or the adoption of a diet un-
suited to the particular constitution.

The girl covering beneath the window
sill sank on the ground as she heard the
housekeeper's imprisoned words, and her
stifled sobbing was plainly audible to me
IN the intense stiffness. Then a chair graf
ed along the kitchen floor as the visitor
rose to his feet.

soDal prejudices to influence you at time

but remonstratingly. ITO interfere with a

sons which are convincing, However, you
have assumed the responsibility and must
abide by 1t. only hope 1t may not prove
insupportable. Good night
Good night. Mr.. Hunt. I'll be here when
anybody wants me-"
The visitor made no audible reply, and
heard him cross the room. followed by the
housekseper.
The woman on the ground did not move
at once, but at last she rose slowly and
turned to the door. AS she reached 1t Miss
Mapes appeared upon the threshold. In
stantly the younger woman flung herself
into the housekeeper's arms.
''Oh, I'll do anything. say anything you
wish. dear Miss Mapes!'' she whispered. ex-
I haven't any at all!
Miss Mapes gathered the sobbing girl to
her breast.
II haven't any, either, child" she wh:s-
pered, and her voice was choked with tears.
For a few moments they remained
clasped in each others embrace, and then
the elder woman disengaged herself, and,
supporting her companion. passed into the
house.
The instant they disappeared darted into
the screen of trees, but 1 did not breathe
easily again until the Shaw farmhouse lay
many miles behind me.

Production Of Magnesite.

California is the only state. according to
a report just issued by the geological sur
vey. that produces magnesite, which is
native magnesium carbonate. composed OF
N.6 per cent magnesia and GA per cent
carbon dioxide. During 1904 the quantity
of crude magnesite produced was ESQ
tons, valued at s.. 29s- For lsoo the guam
tity reported was 3.744 short tons crude.
valued at S10595. equivalent TO 1861 tons
calcined. worth s2o.515 The demand for
both crude and calcined magnesite on the
Pacific coast is limited, and prohibitive
freight rates have thus far prevented ship
ments to the east. Oregon and Cal fornia
consume the entire native production.
Other states IN the Union are dependent
on imported magnesite.

DIET FOR GOOD COMPLEXION.
Men and Women Eschewing Meat and

at meals is dscountenanced. but plenty Of
liquid may be taken between them.
A complexion diet tends toward vegetari-
anism, and 1t Is now considered quite smart
to eat little or no meat. Total abstinence
goes hand In hand with vegetarianism.
