WHEAT AS AN INDICATOR.

The United States is to have a
wheat crop of over 700, 100000 bush
els in 1908, according to all the pres
ent Indications, as cleaned by the
department Of agriculture. There is
a special need of large crops this
year, and the earliest of them to
make report gives promise to meet
this demand. The wheat yield of
1907 was 625,OOO,OOO bushels. Only
twiee-in 1901 and 19O6-was the
zoe, 100000 mark passed. The season
was backward and nearly all the con-
ditions were adverse in 1907. This
year, however, the season is earlier,
the acreage is greater, and the hope
of big harvest has something to
say for itself.
Large crops of the great staples in
1908 would go far toward placing
the country again on the high road
toward prosperity, says the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. Wheat stood fourth
on the list of the country's crops in
1907 in point of value, corn being
first, hay second and cotton third.
Sometimes wheat leads hay and cot
ton, but corn always heads the list.
The time for planting corn and cot
ton is still ahead of us, but as the
season opens favorably for wheat
there is strong expectation that
the other big crops will also start out
under friendly auspices. In the ag-
gregate yield 1907 did not stand high,
but the big prices which all the
staples commanded on account of the
prosperity which prevailed along till
after the harvest, made the total val
lie Of all the farm products greater
than in any previous year. 1t pass
ed the $7,OOO,OOO,OOO mark for the
first time in the country's history.
The range of prices will necessarily
be lower in 1908, although in some
cases they are still up to the 1907
mark. But the harvest, whether ii
be small or large, will see the aver
age of prices below those of twelve
months earlier.
Large crops, however, will be OF
vast service to the country. They
will insure fair income to the farm,
er and cheap food to the consumer
Agriculture is still one of the coun.
try's great interests; and when the
agriculturist prospers the whole
country has good times. We are or

would have little of the same ton

 When Admiral Evans was in port an 1891. as commander of the York town, he engaged Japanese dining room servant, whom he called George, who became a great favorite and re- mained in his service many years. George was really an ambitious stu dent, who was serving with the idea of learning. The Admiral did not know this, In fact, he did not learn 1t until after the close of the war between Japan and Russia. He was then introduced to the commander of the Japanese cruiser Chitose. The commander told the Admiral that they had met before, but the Admiral could not remember the occasion.

GROWTH OF A
 VALLEY STORE
SPLENDID SHOWING IN TWO
 YEARS BY ROY L. RUMsEY.
Valley Department Store Now In Mag nificent New Building-How a Val ley Merchant Built Up a Big and Important Business.

From a twenty foot, poorly equipped, clerkless store to great department emporium, occupying nearly 10000 feet of floor space, with all the de- partments of big city establishment, 20 busy clerks and a big business founded on judicious buying and fair treatment to customers, is the prog ress made in two short years by Roy L. Rumsey of El Centro.
 Two years ago Mir. Rumsey moved a small stock of goods into town from Silsbee and started to work up q business from very small beginning. This week he began to move into the fine new store which has been erected for him on Main street by w. F. Holr. The new store proper is Q feet wide by 100 feet deep, in addition to com modious brick warerooms in the rear It has fine show windows, up-to-date shelving and counter equipment and all that goes to make big department store attractive and convenient. The leading departments are groceries, dry goods, ladies furnishings, clothing and mems furnishings, shoes, hardware and house furnishings. Each department is stocked to overfowing and pre- sided over by trained and competent clerks. MT. Rumsey's exceptional busi- ness ability energy and industry, aided by liberal advertising and the phenom. enal growth of the town where he located his store, have produced the Valley Department Stores doing the biggest business in the Imperial Val ley.
 When MT. Rumsey first started his store in El Centro in March, 1906, he was alone, but later hired one clerk In June of the same year he moved into the double store in the bank block owned by w. F. Holt. The store then seemed to him far too large for his needs or those of the community, but as the town grew space became crowded until this win ter the quarters have been inadequate. Tn September MT. Rumsey added a branch store in Holtville to his estab- lishment and that store has also forged rapidly to the front as an up-to-date department store. The Holtville store will be maintained in the future as an important auxiliary of the El Centre store and will be stocked with every thing desirable in the way of general merchandise The big store in El Centro is open for business now, but will probably not be equipped on a permanent footing for two or three weeks.
 MT. Rumsey's rise from small stor9 to the leading position among the merchants of Imperial Valley is an instance of the character and ability of the men who are building an em- pire in the fertile Imperial Valley Equipped with exceptional business ability, years of training, an estab- lished reputation for square dealing, in the prime of vigorous manhood, MT. Rumsey is well prepared to still fur ther enlarge the scope of his business and to further increase the sphere of his business relations with the people of Imperial Valley. He as cribes his remarkable success largely to hard work, the desire to treat every customer fairly, the splendil l town in which he is located and to advertising in the Imperial Valley
