The change in farm values since
1900 are shown by Investigations of
the agricultural department to re-
spond to the general farming prosper
ity of the country. The government
report presents average results, and
they indicate that farm land values
are gradually improving. The average
increase in the value of farms, me-
dium in quality and equipment in
buildings and other improvements, in
the United States during the past five
years was $731 per acre. The most
marked increase was found in Illinois,
in which the average increase was
$20.4S per acre. Iowa farmers have
been enriched at the rate OF Sf4.65 per
acre. The farm lands of Ohio, Indi-
ana, Wisconsin. Missouri and Nebras-
ka are worth from $40 to s14 more per
acre than they were in 1900. In the
New England group of states the rise
was slight, in Rhode Island only 81
per acre. The greatest increment in
the group was in Massachusetts,
where the increase was $4.1S. New
York makes a fair showing. with an
increased value of IS; New Jersey,
1868; Pennsylvania, s4.e4; Delaware,
$5.1S. Increased values in the south
and southwestern states range from
s3.Ss in Texas to s9.4l In Florida

WIN AT. MINNEAPOLIS
Worthinston High School Repre-.
sented at the Interstate
Track Meet

Charles Haggard and Ivau Petit
represented the Worthington High
School at the Interstate track meet
held at Minneapolis last Saturday.
The boys expected to get into faster
company than they had heretofore
encountered, and were not dieappoint-
ed. They gavea good account of
themselves, however, and brought
home their full share of trophies.
Charles Haggard took first in the
high jump and received handsome
gold watch. Ivan Petit took second
in the 220 yard dash and third in the
100 yard dash, and received two med
ais for these honors. The boys scored
10 points,and Rev, Darnell, the coach,
says that Worthington could easily
have taken two more firsts had two
other members of the track team gone
up, as Voak would have had snap in
the pole vault, and Gillis could un-
questionably have captured first in
the low hurdle race.

after doing duty in each town, load
ed piece-maal in sixty foot cars and,
hurried away to the community
next destined to see them in correct
whole.
This formidable array of rolling
stock comprises only small por-
tion of the impedimenti required in
the production of the spectacle. In
each stopping place a mining camp
must be. made in few hours. Streets
and sidewalks quickly replace the
greensward, and lining them rise
hotels, saloons, residences, dance
halls and and gambling dens. TO
the rear a towering mountain casts
it's fantastic shadows. The entire
aspect suddenly changes as the piece
progresses. Where were the evi-
denoes Of standardization is seen q
great stretch of sombre rugged Wy
oming country, relieved only by tel
egraph poles and wires and solitary
railroad track. 1t is the spot select
ed by Jim Dalton and his fellow
bandits.fo their holdup of tho train
and the plundering of express car
and passengers. Here, too, swift
retri button overtakes them. Sheriff
Devoeand his posse are at their
heels and in the running combat
which ensues, the determination
of the desperadoes are complete.
In picture and patomine the story
of 1.-THE Great Train Robbery" is
told with such bold and vivid real
ism that the entranced spectator is
thrilled to the very heart. Each
moment Of the delineation of 'front.'
ier life is one of tremendously ex-
citing interest.
The engine employed in ''The
Great Train Robbery" is a faithful
model of the locomotive ''General,
famous in the annals of the Civil
War. The "General' was stolen
BY the Andrews Raiders at Big
Sandy, Ga., on the Western & At

and was recaptured near Ringgold,
3a., after an exciting chase Of about
ninety miles. 1t was one of the
most thrilling exploits of the Rebel
ion. The object of the raid was to
ourn the BRIGGS on the W. & A. R.

optional. All other baggage Is pro-
hibited. .s. .aa.J.
The blue uniform oomplste shall
be turned in to the qiartermaster
at the earliest opportunity to te
packed for shipment.
It ls the earnest desire of the off,
GERS, and should be OF every man,
that Company F maintain and if
possible excell the record establish
ed in 1906. This can only be done
by full attendance of men who
are resolved that for ten days they
will spare no effort to perform and
perfect themselves in the duties of
a soldier.
It is not the intention of the off,
GERS nor is it the spirit of the Nat
ional Guard organization that any
man shall make any unwarranted
financial sacrifices, nor that his du-
ties as soldier shall unreasonably
interfere with his business, but on
the other hand, only actual and
reasonable cause will excuse the
performance of this or any other
prescribed duty. It is imperative
that full complement of non-oom-
missioned officers attend.
Accordingly notice is given that
failure to report for duty, unless ex-
cused on account of sickness Of him
self or family, will be sufficient
ground to reduce any non-commls-
stoned officer to the ranks, and that
all enlisted men unless excused by
the commanding officer upon writ
ten application made before the
time Of departure may be discharg-
ed from the service if recruits are
available ready for duty.
There will be special and final
drills at the armories
at Worthington and Rushmore on
June Is, 1902, at $3.50 p.

fully uniformed and equipped for
inspection.
Let every man retain and refer to

ing his equipment.
