CITY AND COUNTRY.

Farm papers are quoting statistics to
4 prove that while the city mans ex-
penses have been increasing faster
than his income, the countryman has
been cultivating more acres, produce
| ing more to the acre, and receiving
a higher price forshls crop than was
the case a few years ago. &
Taking the most favorable estimates.
and 1t appears that the increase in
wages within the cities has not been
more than 22.4 per cent, while in
some ganful occupations wages have
shown very slight If any gains, while
the increase in living expences for all
city dwellers has been 60 per cent
Even those whose wages have risen
during the last decade have not kept
even; but the farm owner can show
very different result as follows:
Consider corn, Americas greatest
crop. The average farm price per
*bushel in 1898 was 2S,7 cents, in 1907
1T had increased to 51,6 cents; the
average farm value per acre in S9S
was $7.1O.Sin 1909 1t has increased to-
s13,3s. In the case of wheat the aver
age farm price per bushel IN = sos was
IS cents. in 1907 1t had increased to
.s7cents. the average. farm value per
acre in 1898 was $500, in 100 it had
increased to s12.26. Take potatoes;
the average yield per acre In sos was
1862 bushels. in 1907 IT has increased
to 95,4 bushels; the average farm price
per bushel in 1895 was Al cents. in
1907 it had increased to 61.7 cents

BREWERS AND PRoHIBE; PROHIBITION y 10 !.

I'D 4 T. - 80
Word comes from the Lone Star state
that the Texas Brewers Association!
has set aside q fund of. $500 600 to be
given to charity If the brewers do not
prove that moro intoxicants are sold IN
prohibition sections and states than In
SECTIONS and states where the sale OF
liquor is legalized.
II this is true, thcn the brewers are
simply offering to prove that they break
tile law successfully IN the prohibition
states, and that they make more money
by breaking the law than by observing
lit
Are the brewers, then, everywhere
lighting the prohibition law. not be-
cause it reduces the sale of their pros
duct, but simply because they dislike
to make more money by reason OF that
Law? Their position is not clear. It Is
supposed that they went into the brew
Ing business, simply to make money;
and If the prohibition law permanently
increases their profits, why do they
fight so .strenuously against 1t? Do
they not fear, that, in the end, what.
ever they think tls,y can show for the
time being, the laws will reduce the
consumption of their product?
A Salt Lake minister just from the
East. reports the success of the tenn
perance wave in those sections recent
Fly visited by him. He says that
even in the. large cities of Boston and
New York, the lid IS on tight every
Sunday, and the liquor men are evil

law. Many bars there are now 50 built
that all portions can be seen from
the street, and the drinking places are
not hidden behind screens. On Sundays
these places are deserted.
This testimony conflicts with that inn
piled in the open wager offered by the
Texas brewers It Is also more likely
TO be true. For II the consumption of
beer increased under prohibition,
majority at least Of the brewers
would favor the prohibitory statutes.

UTAH AND COLORADO.

German Officer Suggests Go-as- you
please Contest.
Lieutenant Paul Graetz of the Ger
man army, who recently crossed At
rica in an automobile, has launched a
novel project for a go-as-you-please
race across Africa. Competitors will
be allowed to walk or use any other
means OF locomotion known to man
except railway.
Graetz. who will enter the contest
himself, agrees not to employ his auto
mobile, with which it took him 630 days
to bisect the dark continent. but he
may resort to a flying machine, bal
loon, dirigibIe airship. motorcycle, BIZ
cycle, horse. donkey. zebra, jinrikisha
or native drawn cart For the pres
ent he is not saying which. He plans
that the race shall start on March 1.
1910. at some point on the east coast
not farther south than the twentieth
degree of north latitude.
The lieutenant thinks that the CON
test. apart from its sporting aspect
ought to produce valuable scientific
and economic results. He hopes that
adventurous Americans may be in
duced to enter his transafrican scram-
hla
