pounds worth of gold is lost every year
by the Australian mining companies

6ondhoiders' Unclaimed Money.

The p%ostotfice profits slightly by the
destruction of stamps which have been
paid for and the treasury gets the
benefit Of bills which are lost and new
er found. A large source of irregular
profit lies in the failure of bondholders
to present their bonds for redemption.
Unclaimed money in the treasury due
to bOndhOlders amounted to nearly a
million dollars in 1861, and the sum is
much greater now. OF a loan which
fell due in 1900 the sum of $50, 900 re-

Intemperance Causes Crime.

Crime rather than pauperism Is the
result Of intemperance, according to

before the national conference Of
charities and correction at it's recent
session at Minneapolis on the relation
Of defective character to dependence.

intemperance," he said, lis immeasur-

causes Of individual degeneration, how
ever, we are persuaded that drink leads
to crime rather than poverty-so far as
these two can be separated. 1t has
been we'll stated that If every saloon,
distillery and brewery was wiped out

TRIUMPH OF Temperance.
Worldwide Revolt Against the Use Of
Alcoholic Beverages.

Worldwide Revolt Against the Use Of
Alcoholic Beverages.
Francis Murphy, the temperance lee
turer. was seventy-one years Of age
when he died in Los Angeles. Yet his
lifetime more than covered such a tri-
umph of temperance as in his youth
would have seemed impossible.
w. H. Harrison was elected presi-
dent Of the United States in 1910,
when Murphy was a child Of four. in
q campaign Of hard cider swigging and
much drunkenness. Today such a cam,
paign would be impossible.
Spirits were cheap and plenty when
Murphy was born. At every rustic
dance. raising or chopping bee, in
every bayfield, or sawmill, there was
a jug Of rum or whisky or of switch
ell" wherein alcohol was the essential
ingredient. The earliest temperance
reformers built a brewery near Bos-
ton to supply a milder substitute. The
great "Washingtonian" temperance
movement that swept over the coun-
try in the forties vas at first only a
moderate drinking" crusade, yet only
twelve years elapsed between the
Wing hard cider campaign and the pas
sage of the Maine law.
The great forces for temperance now
are not lectures or sermons. but bust
ness maxims. Railroads and other
great corporations do not employ
known hard drinkers. Real estate OPP
orators who sell suburban building lots
are restricting miles of streets against
saloons. Restriction is enforced by
many cities. Not even for a high H.
cense fee can any city afford to let sa-
looms plant themselves where they
will and depress the taxable value of
surrounding property.
Temperance reform in England kept
pace with our own. The first worlds
temperance congress was held in Lon.
don in 1916. Drunkenness Is no lon
ger fashionable in English high life.

The Savoy is the only remaining

"A TAINTED FORTUNE.
Texas Farmer Getting Rich by
Growing Bermuda Onions.
This Years Crop Is Estimated at
1900 Car Loads and the Profits to
Growers Amount to $1,000, 900.

What Texas considered an expert
ment four years ago bids fair in the
space OF four years more to be the
principle industry OF the state, out
side of cotton growing. This is
nothing more or less than growing
Bermuda onions, and for the quail
ty and quantit-- of this product the
Lone Star state bids fair to soon ex-
eel the group of islands in the Alan
tic that these onions have made fam
Gus.
The state is now busly engaged in
harvesting the annual crop of Il
muda onions, and this seasons out
put, which is expected to be on cars
bound for the north by Tune l. will
be, about 37,500,000 pounds. or about
1900 car loads. Considering that
this produce sells for between two
and a half and three cents pound,
the value of this new industry to
those engaged in it is apparent.
Four years ago the ground now
used for growing onions, was consid-
cred useless and could be bought for
SO cents or 81 an acre. Today 1t
brings from $3.50 to $500 an acre,
and is cheap at this price consider
ing that the profits Of onion growing
run from $500 to $500 per acre
season, the average yield Of an acre
per season is about 10000 jounds.
The element in lne soil Of Texas
give the onions a peculia favor, and
they are said to excel even those
grown on the Bermuda islands.
The planting season is in October,
which is a de4.ghtful time of the
year along the Rio Grande border,
The season for irrigating and culti-
waiting is during the winter months
when there Is just enough GOODNESS IN
the air to make working out of doors
a pleasure. The harvesting time is
in the spring when all nature is
abloom. BY June the crop is out Of
the way.
That leaves June, July, August
and September to the onion planter
in which to follow his own inclina-
tions as to pleasure or some other
business. Most of the men who have
made comfortable fortunes in rails
ing onions spend the vacation period
Of four months at some Northern
resort. By doing this they escape
the enervating heat Of this region IN
summer.
The healthgiving properties of the
onion are well known. The people
of Laredo eat onions as the apple
lover eats apples. Any day here
children can be seen running around
with a big onion in one hand and a
piece OF bread in the other. LEY
take first BITE Of bread. The combl-
nation is delicious. Laredo is one of
the healthiest towns in Texas and
the onions is said to be lne principal
~auce of il
