year just past and 81 nfcess instances 4
show a great increase over the totals
for 1903.
Illinois leads the entire country in
many cases. but Iowa Is close sec
ond. In one product, oats, Iowa leads
the world, with total of 3,822,600
acres under cultivation which yielded
thtrty-two bushels per acre or q to-
tai of 122,323,200 bushels, valued at
$50, 5S0,800. This Is about 100000
bushels more than any other state in
the union except illinois, Illinois
had 3,666,963 acres planted with oats
which yielded thirty-two bushels to an
acre or total of $117,341,502 bushels
valued at $35,202,507 The value of

ries off the banner in this product. IL
linois had total acreage In corn Of
E9,42S,320, which yielded little more
! than thirty-six bushels to an acre, Civ

683 acres planted with corn which
a total of 303 ,039,2 bushels with a to-
tai valuation of $100,002,s58. In this

the best of Iowa on prices The aver
age price per bushel given for Illinois
lis thirty-nine cents and Iowa thirty
1 three cents.
Fifth on Potato Crop.
! Iowa did quite well on potatoes, too,
in fact considerably better than ILL
nois, for the Hawkeye states potato
crop was more than 22,000000 bushels
while Illinois raised less than 10000,
900 bushels. Four other states. how.

The subject Of marine Insurance are
the ship. the cargo and the freight. all
of which may belong to different par
ties. IN lime of war there is what is
termed the maritime risk the danger
from accident. collision and stranding--
which is distinctly separate from the
risk of capture and seizure by an en-
envy. This class Of marine insurance
had it's inception in the conditions
arising during the seven-year French
English war 1857 to 1868.
The corporation of Lloyd's and the
committee of Lloyd's, who are the ex-
ecutive body of the corporation, and
the secretary of Lloyd's, have practi-
cally nothing TO do with marine insur-
ance in the way of taking risks or pay
ing losses Their duty in this respect

a glance of terror over his shoulder
His pursuer is on him now. He sees
the snorting nostrils and bloodshot eye
of the giant war horse as it seems to
prance about him, ana peering around
it's neck the fierce face of his enemy,
with grim, set features, distorted into
a frightful look OF inhuman sayagery'
His eye catches the cleaning Of bur-
nished steel ana as be looks along
the leyelled lance that points toward
him so unerringly, he sees the elbow
crooked to launch the vicious thrust.
His heart seems near to bursting. his
head is singing, and his mouth is
parched and dry. He hears the deep
painting OF the horse benird him. and
as he feels his hot breath upon his
neck he staggers. lurches forward.
With n wrench of the wrist the horse

skantical as to Jin-Jitsu.

If we Americans don't have a new
craze on hand every week day and TWO
on Sunday our surplus energy eyap-
crates. Now comes the jiu-jitsu of
Japan. There is no particular harm
in it, unless il be overdone But we
have a certificate of reasonable doubt
that it is not what it is cracked up to
be. Writers declare it converts an orr
dinary man into miracle of activity
and strength, rendering tive-foot Jap
the equal Of seven six-foot Russians.
Why, then, do not the J3ps in Man
churia lay down their arms and throw
the Russians into the seay Ii jiu-
jitsu is even one-half as wonderful 4
thing as we hear it is, why don't we
have Japs leading in international ath-
letics? Why should any living wrestler
of other nationality claim suprcm-
acyg Did you ever hear Of Jap vim
ming fight in prize ring with bare
fists? Japs are not boxers. The
wicked Chinese are the boxers. Mat
sada Sorakichi was great wrestler,
but won no championships, notwith-
standing he was an expert at jiu-jitsu.
Are there Jap champions at running,
jumping, rowing, fencing, swimming2
AT juggling (sleight-of-hand) they are
supreme; hence they are capable Of
the tricks Of jiu-jitsu, which an Amer
ican could never acquire Marion
