The biggest yield Of corn that this
country has ever known was in 1905,
less than three billion bushels. The
average price last year was little
more than so cents bushel. Corn
for December delivery Is selling now
at IS cents bushel. Figuring the

Beside these the crops of hay. al

products of the soil are either no less
or else far greater than usual. Ex-
perts estimate that the added wealth
that these will stow away In the
pockets of the American farmer this
year will be not far from 100000. 900.
Add this to the total of the three
great cereals and cotton. and the
total Is n thousand millions OF dollars
the vast sum by which the national
wealth will be increased this year.
The farmer will not get 1t all. He
Will pay out vast sums for labor. for
machinery with which to plant new
crops. for new buildings in which to
house them and his other belongings.
for luxuries and comforts which he
has gone without when crops were
poor and prices low.
Getting the crops to market will
bring the railroad and steamship lines

POINTS AGAINST THE SALOON
DEPARTMENT

Nobody would let the saloon live
but for the money made out of it. Its
sole mission is to promoet the finan-
cial profit of saloonists and brewers.
Railroads, manufacturing companies
land employers of labor of all sorts do
not want the workingman who patron
ICES the saloon if they can get any
body else.
/ Saloons increase the consumption of
! liquor more than a hundred-fold over
/ the worst blind tigers, speak-easies,
| boot-leggers, and the like, known in
this state. The wettest dry town uses
far less whiskey and beer than the
dryest wet town.
The saloon does not produce money.
1t only gets hold of what is already
here. 1t takes away from legitimate
trade and sends a great part of it out
of the tOOwn TO distant brewers and
distillers. 1t is a constant drain upon
the financial resources of a cOmmuni-
.ty.
To keep saloons out of communities
makes labor much more reliable. Man
ufacturers won't want saloons in the
neighbOrhOod of their plants. In
many places they petition against the
location of saloons in their nefghbor-
hood.
Saloons diminish the value of real
estate in their vicinity, often serious
ly. Nobody wants a saloon for his
next neighbor
If as much liquor is sold in dry dis
rticts as in wet, why do the brewers
and distillers and saloOnists spend
money with a lavish hand to prevent
dry legislation and to make elections
go wet? They make common cause
and fight as if the very life of the bust
ness depended on defeating the drys

Why not? The wOman's brain and the
mans brain are both capable of equal
achievement. The only reason for the
apparent discrepancy between the
work each has so far actually perform
ed is that one has deliberately handi-
capped the other with narrow Oppor-
tunities and conventiOnally restrained
outlook. If you take two equally
healthy babies and tie the arms of
one of them till both are grown up,
of course you'll have a weaker physi-
cal development in the case of the one
who has been bound. For centuries
men have been tying wOmen's brains,
and the result is a weaker mental de-
velopment That will all be remedied

SALMON CANNING DESCRIBED
Miss Lisk Tells How It is Oone-The
Chinaman as a Laborer

!
Chinaman as a Laborer
To the Editor 0cala Banner:
In a recent visit which | made, with
a party of relatives, to Washington
and California, one of the most inter
esting experiences We enjoyed, aside
from the exposition at Seattle, was a
trip to Anacortes, Wash. This town
is largely made up of salmon canning
factories, with one Goldfish cannery
and an all pervading odor of fish fills
the air.
We first visited one of the largest
of the salmon canning canneries, fol
lowing the process through from the
counting c a freshly caught boat-load
of fish to e-e stacking OF the canned
goods. At one end of the main floor
were piled the thousands of salmon
and here were stationed wOTkmen
spreading the fish with lOng-prOnged
forks and tossing them on to near
by table. From here they were thrown
into an immense iron chink, which
cuts off the heads and tails Of the
salmon. The chink received its name
from the fact that it supplanted the
Chinese or "Chinks, who were for
merly employed to do this work.
From the chink the salmon were pass
ed by machinery from one stage of
the process to another. They were
only handled by the wOrkmen at one
stage of the canning, and then gloves
were worn.
When we had finished our inspec-
ton of this interesting work, the pro-
prietor led us to the stacking room,
where the cans are placed to cool. If
the cans are in proper condition the
inflated ends will collapse on cooling,
and therefore il is necessary to in
spect the cans after a length of time
10 set aside those which still remain
inflated. At the end of the canning
process. each can has two holes which
have been soldered. but in the case
of an imperfect can Of fish third
'puncture is made TO let out imprisoned
gas. These cans with the third pune
ture are called "do-overs,' and are
sold at a reduced price, though. as the
proprietor assured us, the fish con-
tanned in them is of the same quality
as that of the other cans, and not at
all injured by its second treatment.
In this factory were employed Chi
nest. japanese, Indians and white Ia
borers. On being asked his choice
between the Japanese and Chinese as
workmen, the proprietor voiced the
general western sentiment by reply
ing: THE Chinese by all means. They
nav attention TO their work and have
eyes for nothing else. while the Jap
is always watching you and sizing
you up"
