Crap games are fine feeders for

announces that some one has lost

craps. Officers can not be too vigi-

of gaming. 1t seems to be
more vicious than any other.

Deputy State Auditor T.. j. Smith,
who is a candidate for State auditor
to succeed the present incumbent,
has compiled some valuable statistics
regarding increase III property values
during period of six years. Accord
ing to his figures, the increase within
that space of time has been over
thirty per cent, while the increase as
shown by the assessment now being
made will amount TO nearly half OF
the sum total for the past six years
In the data given, concerning the
growth of banks within a period of
seventeen years, il is shown that the
number of State banks has grown
from 81 To 263 and national banks
from IL to %; banking capital has in
creased from S2,765. us to S13, 79i, s13
and individual deposits from -, 266, 49i
to- $45, 22s .60i. The above discloses
that Mississippi has been unusually
prosperous for the past few years and
explains why real estate values have
been steadily advancing.

DOES FARMrEG PAY?

Under the above caption the New York
World last week discussed this much abused
subject in the following way
lis the farmer getting his share Of pros
perity This question is discussed by the
correspondents Of the agricultural papeEs.
the majority of whom reply that the ~
age farmer is not. Everything tue IaTih1s
buys costs more, but while the price which
the consumers pay for agricultural products
has risen, the price received by the farmer
has not proportionately increased. The
profits of the railroads for transportation, OF
the middlemen and Of the retailers are
higher PERCENTAGE OF the selling price than
they were ten years ago.
1.-THE staple grain crops, wheat, corn and
cats, are left to the large, level Western
farms. where the best iabor-saving ma
chinery can be used. The increase Of
trucking in the South has made it unproh
table for Northern farmers to raise vege-
tables out of season The high prices Of
feed have driven Eastern farmers away
from stock iattening.
s'More than any other industry farming
feels the increase in wages. Ten years ago
farm hands were paid SIS or SlS month
and board, and the board cost the farmer
next to nothing. The monthly pay is now
from S25 to $40, and labor is scarce and
complained of as inefficient. Help hired
during the busy season commands 81 to S.
a day.
ssThe average farmer is paid less than his
hired man. His net receipts are under $500
year. If from this are deducted the inter-
est on capital invested, the tax and the cost
of replacing wornout stock and machinery,
the farmers pay is less than day labOrer's.
ssThis situation will compel reorganiza-
tion Of American farming Instead Of an
occupation it will become business. Such
Investigations as the Cornell school is noY
making will hasten this Development
Raising vegetables would be immenss
profitable il the producer received half
price the housekeepers Of New York
pay. If, instead of two cents quart, s1ss
Edairyman could get for milk six OF seven,
less she cost Of delivery, his balance, after
paving for his labor and feed, would be
oaintupled. The great cotton mills, iron
furnaces, steel works and like industries,
whose total production is only fraction Of
the value Of the farm products, handle their
sales so shat they get most Of the profits
themselves. The new farming will do
likewise !

Latest Novel is Of New Jersey Life.
.Doc. Gordon, by Mary b. wilkins, to
be PubIIa ed Next Sunday.

The best noyel for the reader is the novel
shat most nearly portrays she people with
whom the reader comes in contact. David
Harum pictured homely character and
his friends in such way as to make every
reader of the book find in his own commu-
nifty counterpart of the great philosopher
and horse trader. MARY E. Wilkins
Freeman, who has for some years been
known as the author who drew true life
portraits of the characters OF the New Eng
land village, has found new field for her
work. She has written noyel, the charac-
ter for which she has found in southern
New Jersey. Whether the people Of that
section will enjoy her picture is yet to be
seen, bus they will surely enjoy the story
itseli-one Of the Creates. .mystery-roman-
ces ever written.
The title Of the noyel is 'sDoc. Gordon, +"
and the first installment will be printed in
the Sunday North American next Sunday,
August 5. II will be completed during the
month of August in the special fiction sup
plement Of that paper before it is allowed
to appear in book form.
The demand for the Sunday North Aaler-
lean for August is already enormous, and
readers who would not miss reading all of
the Wilkins novel should make themselves
safe by ordering the paper for the full

Last week a farmer took us to task for
giving so much space to big prices, and
talking SO much about wealth flowing down
the pike, and leaving pile of gold at each
farmers gate. When theirs only few
loads in market, said he, prices are high,
but when we all get load in, prices at
once fall TO nothing.
