The revenue to the United States treasury will be lessened by the in creased duties. They will not and are not intended to add to the income which the government so sorely needs. They will prevent tmportations, of course, just as the increased duties on mems gloves granted by the Dingley tariff for Littauer have done. That is what they are for. They will all make Littauer richer and more powerful. The losses to the people and the gov ernment count for nothing. It pays Littauer best to serve Cannon and his
 man Payne.

Common Stock Reaches a New
High Record Price.
Advances -Four Points in One
Day to 1913 3-S.
INCREASE IN EARNINGS
Gross for August the Largest
in Amy One Month.
1t Is Expected That Dividend
Rate Will BE Raised.

New York, Sept. 29.-Santa Fe
common stock has reached a new
high record price on the stock ex-
change.
The stock of the Atchison. Topeka
& Santa Fe Railroad company ad-
vanced over four points to 1913 70 late
yesterday, an extraordinary rise for
that stock which usually moves with
in a narrow range. Demand for it
was stimulated by the report of Aug
uSt earnings, showing an increase OF
10 per cent in gross income and an
increase of 81 per cent in net in
come, over the figures for August
1908.
Gross earnings, $S,959,839, were the
largest on record for any month, and
net earnings, amounting to $3,469,936,
were nearly a million dollars more
than those of a year ago, and the
largest for any month except October,
1906.
1t is confidently expected that the
dividend rate on the common stock
will be increased from per cent to
per cent per annum. Transactions
in the stock were $4,000 shares.
Rarely if ever before have that many
shares of Santa Fe been sold in one
day 1t was next to United States
Steel common stock in the volume of
trading.
Heavy buying carried United States
Steel common stock up over 3 per cent
to 1925, making q rise OF HNe pOIHlS III
two days. Transactions in it were 2O2,-
600 shares. Enthusiasm over the value
of this stock was stimulated by reports
of rapidly expanding business An or
der for 200 900 tons of steel rails for the
Pennsylvania system was announced,
with another pending for n million tons
for the New York Central lines. 1t Is
said that the steel rail orders in the
last two weeks have been larger than
for any similar period. Not content with
these important elements of strength in
the market, the boomers of steel stock
revived the story of the listing of this
stock in Paris. The report was cur
rent that arrangements for the trans
action have been almost completed.
In view of the fact that the dividend
on United States Steel common stock
Is only per cent per annum, the con-
tinued heavy buying at present high
prices is accepted as an indication that
the dividend rate is to be increased
soon.
Among the other important advances
were: Baltimore & Ohio PA, st. Paul

GEN. GRANT IS FIRM.
Says He Will Wear His Uniform
Wherever He Sees Fit.

Washington, Sept. 29.-"It was not
a temperance parade, but a demon
stration in favor of good government
been derelict in my duty if I had not,
when requested. headed the parade as
did and 1 shall continue, until pro-
hibited, to do the same thing, when
ever / deem II necessary to advance
the cause of good government"
This is the substance of a statement
made by General Frederick D. Grant,
in answer to a protest made by w. R.
Michaelis of Chicago. a member of
the executive board of the United So
cietieS for Local Self Government,
criticiizng General Grant for having
appeared in full uniform, in a socalled
temperance parade in tht city last
Saturday.
General Grant added that there was
no law, written or unwritten, or regu-
sat.on that in any way abridged his
casion he saw fit and he assumed that
no official action on the part of the
war department would be taken in the
matter.
For little longer Secretary Dickin-
son of the war department was spared
this dispute. as the mails failed to
bring the letter of protest from Mr..
Michaelis.
1t is known here that General Grant
has decided views in regard to the
effect of liquor in the army. In his
he commented on the
courts martial by saying:
ga glance at the report of the judge
advocate clearly shows, to my mind,
that liquor was the cause of most OF
the troubles among the soldiers"

FOOD FOR THE ARMY
Is Held to Be One of the Most I'M
portant Considerations.

Los Angeles, Cal, sept. 29.-'The
waving sword and champing charger
of a commander on the field of battle,
have given place to the yellow envel-
ope carried by. the man behind the
buzzer."
Such was the declaration of First
Lieutenant Paul w. Beck, of the sig
dress today before the delegates to
the convention of the National Guard
association of the United States.
Captain Stopford's address in part
follows:
THE army fights literally and fig
uratively on it's belly. The sulsst-tence
of the soldier is therefore of primary
importance; men can neither march,
shoot nor exercise their ordinary facu-
ulties unless fed. The matter of trans
portation of rations to an army is a
much more intricate problem than the
assembling of the rations. The duty
of the subsistence department ends
with the responsibility of putting food
into the hands of the troops, and until
a supply department, including the
and subsistence department and add
ing a transportation department to
it is provided, there never will be
perfect coordination.
THE shortage of rations when full
issues have been made, I believe is the
source of more trouble with, the ra-
lions than all others com bined and the
waste occurring in the cooking and
preparation"
In closing. Captain Stopford said
that Adjutant Generals should pro-
vide progressive line of instruction
for subsistence officers.

SMILEY'S REPORT.
CONTINUED from Page One.)
The Report in Full

The Report in Full.
Mr.. Smiley's report in full is as fol-
lows:
Reports received from our cores
pondents from practically every ship
ping station in the state show the
yield of winter wheat to be 74,337,797
bushels, and the yield of spring wheat
to be 673,34 bushels. or a total yield
of winter and spring wheat of 49,
O11,137 bushels produced from 6,433,-
926 acres sown to winter wheat in the
fall of 1908, and 67,634 acres sown to
spring wheat in the spring of 1909.
This is an average yield of 11.6
bushels per acre for winter wheat on
the acreage sown and 10 bushels for
spring wheat on the acreage sown.
Assessors reports furnished us by the
county clerks of the different coun-
ties show that there was $4,000 less
acres sown to wheat in the fall of
1908 than. the preceding fall.
About Six Million Acres Cut.
According to estimate of CORES
pondents. between four and five hum
dred thousand acres sown was aban-
doned from different causes, leaving
les than six million acres actually
harvested. On account of heavy rains
after the harvest, while wheat was in
the shock. a large per cent was dam
aged by sprouting and bleached, thus
preventing it grading No. 2. This is
especially true of all of the territory
north of the main line of the u. P.
railway.
practically all of the wheat re-
naming in stack is badly damaged
and very little of 1t will grade better
than No. 4. Mill supplies throughout
the state are very light, as most of
the interior mills have only bought
enough to supply immediate needs.
Prices Will Probably Remain Firm.
''Millers in Oklahoma and Texas
are strong competitors of the Kansas
millers for anything good enough to
mill, and as the farmers are only of
fering wheat in limited quantities,
there is little probability of any furth-
er decline in the market.
Reports indicate that there will be
about the same acreage of winter
wheat sown present fall that was
sown last fall, although seeding will
be much later than usual as compar-
atively little blowing was done until
after September 4th
The acreage planted to corn in the
spring of 1909 was 7,691.311 acres
and correspondents estimate the
average yield on the area planted at
1873 bushels per acre. or a total of
119,445,32O bushels of corn for the
state. This is only estimate and
husking returns may show the
amount to be more or less
Differs From Earlier Report.
Secretary Smiley's report" said
grain man today, sis 10,OOOO,OOO of
bushels lower than the government
wheat estimate made in August. The
government will issue a final wheat
bulletin in December. The Smiley
report also indicates a shortage in
the corn crop when compared with
the governments estimate made in
the first part of this month The
difference between the estimates on
the corn yield is 100000 bushels,
the Smiley report estimating the yield
at that much less than the govern
ment report at the beginning of this
MONTH
Smiley's Complete Table
The accompanying table compiled
by Secretary Smiley gives the acreage,
bushels and average yield by counties
and totals, covering both wheat and
corn.
