A PROMISE OF PROSPERITY.
Farmers viii Handle More Money
This Year Than Ever Before.


The country now seems within
hnger reach of harvesting more dol
lars from more bushels than was
ever done before. 1t is a promise,
not a certainty, but the promise is
as fair as reasonable men require for
the adjustment of their affairs. This
country has never yet harvested a
5000, 100000 bushel corn crop. This
year it has planted 100000 more
acres than it harvested in 1908.
which was the maximum. And the
condition is seven points better than
a year ago. There seems no ques-
ton left but by how much the record
shall be beaten, And the price is
at high level. There is thus a chance
that the crop will be worth $4,000
100000 as well as a fair prospect
that the bushels will exceed 3,OOO.-
100000
The season opened discouragingly
for winter wheat, but it has made
such improvement that its condition
IS now better than for several recent
years, and not very much below the
record year of 1901. If it were not
for the abandonment of winter-kilIed
acres there would be a large yield of
this crop. AS it is the shortage in
breadth to be reaped is recouped by
the gain in spring wheat. The com
bined yield promises to be about
the same as last year, larger than
the year before, and about the third
on record. But the price ruling
makes this years crop the most val
liable known. This is the result of
the closeness with which consump-
ton has pressed upon production,
so that there is a buyer for every
bushel of oats this year, and per-
haps the round billion will be gath
cred for the first time.-New York

There being so much loose and
erroneous holiness teaching abroad

The Pleasure of Batting

is a pleasure that no one should be
denied. Life, energy, brain power,
all depend on what is eaten. One
must eat and the food must assiml-
late or there's a decline. Keep your
digestion perfect and you can enjoy
eating.
If you ever have the least distress
after eating it denotes imperfect d.
gestion, and remedy is needed at
once. The best remedy is POINDEA-
TIERS TONIC. Results are prompt
from this remedy because it restores
right conditions. 1t overcomes FER
mentation in the stomach, and
strengthens the digestive organs

His Military Burdens Heavier Than

The standing army of the United
States is now a little more than 50,-
600 Up to the breaking-out of the
Spanish-American war it was about
$4,000, and filled all requirements.
Now, however, since we have pos
sessed ourselves of various island de-
Tendencies that must be garrisoned
and guarded we have the need for
far more soldiers. Gen. F. D. Grant
is pulling" for standing army of
not less than 10000 men, with a
large reserve. He doesn't look for
war at any time in the near future,
but says the present army is wholly
inadequate to its work, and must be
enlarged if we are to maintain the
position we have assumed. Our mill
tary burdens at present-includina
army, navy and pensions-are
heavier than those of any other coun-
try; yet the military branches are
always calling for more money.

WHERE THE CORN GOES.
The Two and Half Billion Bushels
Grown in This Country.


People often wonder, particularly
those who have travelled for hundreds
OF miles through the corn belt, what
becomes of the corn which is grown
every year In the year 1908, when
the total crop was 2,666,OOO,000
bushels, 241,O0O,OO0 bushels were
consumed in -four and grist mill
products, 100000 bushels in the
manufacture of starch, 100000
bushels for malt liquors, 100000
bushels in the production of distilled
liquors, 100000 bushels for glu-
cose, 190,000,000 bushels for export
and 100000 bushels for seed,
making total of 1S,O0O,OO0 bush
els, or 1913 per cent. of the entire
crop. The remaining S0.7 per cent,
or 2,118,000,000 bushels, seems to
have been used almost entirely for
feeding.

GERMANY's CHRISTMAS TREES
Not an Evergreen in That Country
That Was Not Artificially Planted.

That Was Not Artificially Planted.
Christmas comes but once a year.
and the Germans try to make the
most of it. Of the 100000 fami-
lies of the Kaiser's empire it is said
that 100000 purchase Christmas
trees. The trees usually are spruce,
which grows in all parts of Germa-
ny. The planting and the cutting
of trees is all under control of the
government officials, and it is
thought that there is not now an
evergreen growing in Germany that
was not artificially planted.
In the initial stage the young
plants are set in. rows about four feet
apart, with the plants one foot apart
in the row. AS the trees develop
they gradually are thinned. When
one foot high many are transplanted
into pots and form miniature Christ
mas trees. But for this Yuletide
market the forest paintings would
have to be made further apart or
the trees cut out in thinning while
the small would have to be thrown
away. This thinning is continuous
until the trees have attained a size
suitable for saving purposes.

LONG LOST RINGS RECOVERY.
Bay State Man Found Jewel Which

Had Lain in Pond Ten Years.
Sidney S. Gordon of Haverhill,
Mass, while visiting Brockton, Mass,
found valuable diamond ring in
Ayers pond that he lost ten years
ago while boating on the pond.
Mr.. Gordon was visiting a relative
in Brockton. He decided to take an
outing on the lake. While rowing
away from the shore of the pond his
attention was attracted to an object
shining in the water. He stopped
rowing, and, reaching his arm down
deep, picked up the ring that was
lying on the bottom of the little lake.
1t was the same ring he had lost
there ten years before. His name,
Sidney S. Gordon, was engraved in
the inside of the ring.

FLOODS CAUSE DISTRESS
WATER SWIRLS THROUGH WEST

w1AM NsR-

KANSAS CITY.-Daybreak today
revealed much distress throughout
the flood district in Missouri and
| Kansas
Thousands of people along the Mis-
souri, river, the Grand river in Mis-
souri, and Marais Des Cygnes river in
Kansas who had been forced to take
refuge in the upper stories from ris-
ing waters lay awake all the night
filled with terror lest the food wash
away the foundations of their homes,
Besides great damage to unharvested
crops and the washing away of prop
erty the flood caused much suffering
to many farm people who were ma
rooned on remote and inaccessible
spots. Several relief trains sent out
from Kansas City and other points
were unable to reach their destina-
ton, and boats loaded with food and
other supplies which put out to go to
the rescue were forced back by the
| sWlrllng current. In several small
towns almost the entire population
had to seek safety on the roofs of
! homes, and unless aid is extended
them soon it is feared suffering will
| be acute.
At PattOnsburg.
At Pattonsburg, Mo, about 1900
persons crowded into the upper
floors of store buildings, lodge halls
and school houses have been with
out sleep for over two days.
One of the most serious situations
lis at Pomona, Kan, where yester-
day 300 passengers on the west
bound AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa
Fe train were derailed, and a part
of the train overturned and toppled
into the water. These people, after
being rescued, spent the night in the
homes Of hOspitable farmers. A call
for relief sent out from Pattonsburg
says the condition there is hourly
growing worse, the main street being
eight feet deep in rushing water.
Three-fourths of the people in abs
town lost everything they had
Rescue Is AT Hand.
Conditions in Missouri and Kansas
improved rapidly, however, during
the morning hours.
At Pattonsburg the water fell IA
inches during the night and contin-
ued to recede today.

from the house and tree tops this
morning, and the relief train from st.
hoz
San Rosa, landed its passengers with
in two miles of Pattonsburg, and
from there the remainder of the
journey was made in boats.
Ample food, at least for the pres
ent needs, was distributed to the
refugees.

Careful handling OF the county funds
is shown in the August report of COUn-

CITY PAYS FOR
COUNTY BRIDGE
Mayor Discovers Boundary
Line Cuts Off Aid From
Municipality.

After paying half of the cost of re
pairing the Jordan river bridge at Twelfth
South street for a score of years, it has
been learned that the city limits do not
include lais property and the city has
baked on Tie latest request of the county
commissioners that this payment be dU-
thOrized.
The matter ,ame up in the communica-
ton of Jake T. Raleigh. street supervisor,
that the bridge at Twelfth South street
is in bad condition and needs repairing.
The matter had been brought 10 the at
tentiOn of the city official several times
in the hope of getting some action taken
By the city council. The street commit
tee agreed TO pay half OF the cost as IN
the past, and then the city council passed
the measure last Monday night HeSter-
day Mayor John S. BransfOrd sent II
back to the council without his approval,
having been advised by City Engineer
l.. c. Kelsey that the city IS not IN any
way responsible for the maintenance OF
the bridge. The proposition was to build
concrete or stone abutments and to repair
the floor. which would cost about SLOW
The limits of Salt Lake City run TO
Twelfth South street on the west bank
of the Jordan river, but neither to the east
bank of the stream nor to the middle. SO
the city engineer held that salt Lake
City should not be asked to help pay 1or
the bridge.
There are a number of the councilmen
who take the position that salt Lake City
gets much trade over this bridge and that
for this and other reasons the city should
bear half of the expense of maintenance.
During the many years since the terri
torial legislature in 1872 established the
line of the city on the west bank OF the
river the city has paid hundreds of dol
lars with the county in keeping the bridge
in shape for traffic.
1t is now up to the county to see wheth-
er the old plan will be maintained, and
the city bear with the county in keeping
up the bridge. City Engineer Kelsey has
known all along that the bridge was not
within the city limits and has had the
opinion that the city should bear none
of the expense, but under the present sys-
tenn in the present administration no ad-
vice or knowledge is disseminated from
one department for the benefit of an
other This is the first time the matter
has come before the city engineer, and he
at once told the mayor of his findings.
When this was known the mayor refused
to approve this expenditure.

REMAINS MYSTERY.
Experts Fail to Discover Anything
Wrong With Elevator.

Manager J. Frank Elan and SJperin-
tendent Fred Franklin of the Otis EIe-
v1tcr company of Salt Lake spent the
greater part of Wednesday at the L. d. 5.
hospital inspecting the elevator and at
tempting to place the cause of the death
Of Miss Marcy Osborne, the nurse who
was killed at the hospital Tuesday night.
So far as they We're able to discover, no
cause for the accident could be placed.
The elevator was tested on all the floors
in all possible ways, but il was impossi-
bic to duplicate its action of Tuesday
John Wells, general manager of the hos
pital, stated Wednesday night that as
yet the Otis people had given no opinion
as to the cause of the accident. Mr..
Elan said
so far we have not been able to learn
the cause of the trouble. 1t is possible
that Miss Osborne opened the door Just
as some one on the bottom floor pressed
the button for the descent of the cage.
and it is possible that the nurse got into
the cage just a s it started to move down
ward. A further investigation will be
made.
The body of Miss Osborne was shipped
last night to ReXbuTg. As soon as def
mite funeral arrangements are. made a
body of nurses and the trustees of the
institution will go to Rexburg to attend
the funeral
