The Wireless Husband.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Pity the poor husband left wifeless In
the town! While she is basking in the
warm sunshine on the beach or enjoying
the sweet delights Of rusticity on the
farm he is left alone In the crowded city
working his life out from four to six
hours day to pay for the luxuries OF
his unthinking and expensive family. In
the city In the summer time there is
nothing in the world to amuse a man
except base ball games. roof gardens
parks. sails, highballs. vaudeville shows
cafes swept by electrician breezes, blond
and brunette maidens, bands. poker par
ties. orchestras. beer. picnics. 'joyrides'
and mint juleps. Not another thing
Outside OF these all Is work.

Louisville Courier Journal

From the LouisvIIle Courier JournaI.
The average life OF dollar bill is esti-
mated by the Treasury Department at
fourteen months. The average probably
would be longer than that II SO many
people In the United States had not &C
Quired the habit of using the stove as a
savings bank. The expression money to
burn is often heard. and from the ad-
vices reaching the Treasury Department
1t appears that those who most often
burn their money are people who can
least AFFORD such costly experience.

A Bumper Crop Year.

Secretary Wilson, who is the great
est source of information concerning
the farmers, has just been figuring up
the crops of 1909, which appear to be
record-breaking in almost every in
stance. The corn crop, for example,
amounts to 2,767, BIG, 600 bushels, an in.
crease of nearly 100000 900 bushels
from last year.
The wheat crop for 1909 is 724, 1853, 900
bushels, as against 664, 602, 900 bushels
in 1908 and $50, 51O,0 900 bushels as the
average for the previous five years.
The oat crop is 5000, 900 bushels
greater than it was last year and 49,
900, 600 greater than the average of the
five years previous. The barley, rye
and buckwheat crops show CORES
ponding increase and are record break
ers, while the potato crop is 367, 473, 600
bushels, as against 278, 985, 900 bushels
in 1908, and an average of 289, 400, 900
for the previous five years, and if you
will inquire at your grocery you will
learn that the prices for potatoes today
are unprecedented.
The tobacco crop weighs about 1885,
1876, 900 pounds, as against 718, O61, 600
pounds for 1908 and an average of $685.
900, 600 pounds for previous five years.
We do not know whether everybody
would consider this cause for thanks
giving, but it is no doubt source of
great satisfaction to the farmers who
will receive the proceeds of its sale.
The aggregate production of the
farms of the United States during the
year 1909 is about 2 per cent greater
than last year, 9 per cent greater than
the average of the previous five years
and in both volume and value it goes
beyond all crops in the history of agri-
| culture.
1t is interesting to know what be-
comes of these vast quantities of food
and why prices should increase so rap
| idly, as you will discover they have in
creased by looking at your market bills.
The generally accepted theory is an in
creased demand for local consumption.
The statistics show that we ourselves
are eating more and more of our food
products every year, not only as re-
suit of increased population, but as a
result of larger consumption per
| capita of everything to eat, which, in
turn, is attributed to the high wages,
/ the increased purchasing power of the
working people of the country. Rec

the latest, greatest and best live stock
show of the year, where the champions
of all other shows enter the final con-
test for the highest honors of the sea-
son. There will be big celebration of
it's tenth anniversary this year, and no

great show, which will surpass all pre-

Young men of the state who expect
to become dairy farmers will find much
of value in the instruction in farm dali
rying given in the short course in agri-
culture at the College of Agriculture of
the University of Wisconsin by lectures
and laboratory practice. Dairy instruc-
ton in this course, which opens Dec. A,
is confined to those phases of the SUBJ
ject connected with farm dairying, such
as conditions which affect yield, COM
position, and value of milk; the produc-
ton of milk for butter and cheese; ser
aration of cream; and handling cream
before it is made into butter. Discus

A MAN in Philadelphia was sent to
jail for giving a distress signal to
jury. The signal in question was that
of lodge of which he was member.
Just what it consisted of does not ap-
pear in the newspaper accounts of the
affair. The distress signal has many
and various forms. Out in the 'arid"
districts of Kansas and in some of those
sections of the South where the pro-
hibition Bosom has made a sweep that
has made threats as dry as dust, it is
said to consist usually of two fingers
and a wink.
