(Reported by Arthur ]. Bill for the Illi-
nois Farmers instituted

(Reported by Arthur j. Bill for the I'LL
pois Farmers Institute.)
The following bits of significant his
tory, bearing directly on our own soil
problem, are taken from the address
of DR.. Cyrial G. Hopkins of the Uni
versity of Illinois, at the recent annual
institute:
Russia's average yield of wheat for
20 years was 81 bushels per acre; as
a rule the land lies fallow every third
year, and there has been at least one
famine in every five-ycar period. Rus
sia's soils are not inexhaustible.
There are thousands of acres of
level Or gently rolling lands within a
hundred miles of the city of Washing
ton that were once worth $50 to S75
an acre that are now abandoned for
agricultural purposes. And yet there
are teachers who tell us that practic-
ally all soils contain sufficient plant
food for good crop yields.
Decrease in Productive Power.
| have never found a large audience
| of Illinois landowners which did not
| have a dozen or more men who could
testify from their own knowledge that
the average farm lands of New Eng
land, New York, Virginia and other
eastern states had markedly decreased
in productive power and in value, and
yet there are people in illinois who
seem to think that this condition can
never come upon Illinois lands.
| A few acres of land i'll New England
produce larger crops per acre than
some of the great areas of the central
west, but from 81 to 500 an acre are
frequently spent for plant food on the
soils of the eastern states, where crops
are still grown.
! The yield per acre of corn in Rhode
| Island and Connecticut is greater than
the average yield in Illinois. but the
total corn acreage of both states is
| less than onetenth of the county IN
! Illinois, and this state has more than
twice the corn acreage of the six New
England states and five eastern states
combined.

| His tribesmen, wild with grief
moaning and weeping all day, flee
into the room where his body laid
weeping and praying to the Great
Spirit.
His only surviving wife, Nya, was
Frustrated, and upon learning of his
death, attempted to kill his favorite
horse, that its spirit might go with
that of its master, but Indians pre-
vented.
At present there are 267 Apache
prisoners, about score of whom
were taken with Geronimo.
After the capture the band was
taken to Fort Pickens, Florida, in
1890, and to Mount Vernon Barracks,
Alabama, in 1905, thence to Fort
Sill. Asa, son of Whoa, will sue
ceed Geronimo as war chief. Naiche,
the last hereditary chief of the
tribe, is still living here.
1t is a curious coincidence that
news of Geronimo's death was sent
out from Lawton, which was named
after the late Henry F. Lawton, the
famous general, who, as member
of General Miles command, led the
3,000-mile chase that led to the
chiefs surrender. The chase after
Geronimo was begun at Omaha in
January, 1885.
General Miles, in command of the
department of the Missouri, re-
ceived instruction to rout the band
of Indians headed by Geronimo and
kill or capture it's chief, and began
operations by organizing an expedi-
ton consisting of the Second, Eighth
and Ninth infantry, and the Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Eighth cavalry, the
horsemen being in charge of Henry
F. Lawton, then a lieutenant. The
expedition was gotten under way in
January, 1885, and the capture of
Geronimo and his band was finally
made nearly two years later.
Since he had been confined at
Fort Sill, Geronimo made many at
tempts to gain his liberty. Early
in 1908, Geronimo made a trip to
Washington, with a number of his
followers in an effort to interest
President Roosevelt in his case. The
old Indian was unsuccessful, how
ever, and to the last Geronimo was
full of hatred for the white man.
At the time of death Geronimo
was eighty-six years old. One
daughter, Leila, who lives in Okla
homa, survivors the aged warrior.
Geronimo was laid at rest in the
Apache burying ground northeast of
Fort Sill, February 18th. Rev.
Legters, an Indian missionary min
ister, conducted services as similar
to the old Apache style of burial as
his conscience would permit.
The war department. set aside the
day as a holiday for all the Apache
prisoners of war at Fort Sill, and
two hundred old warriors Joined in
the funeral procession.

The Value of Good
Digestion
Il easy to figure If you know what your stomach
is worth. Kodol keeps the stomach at par value,
by insuring good digestion. Kodol cures Dyspepsia

to special effort by "tonics" and
"stimulants" doesn't cure anything,
or accomplish any good. Neither
does dieting. Indigestion and the
serious ailments which 1t induces
can be averted and corrected only
by natural means.
Kodol supplies this natural
means. 1t performs the stomach's
work for it--just as the stomach
should perform it-while the stom-
ach takes a little rest, "for the
stomach's sake"

two days, Geronimo, war chief of
the Chiricabua Apaches, for years
the terror Of Mexican and American
settlers throughout the entire south
west, and a prisoner of war since
1887, when he surrendered to Gen.

as in his prime, the old chieftain
had stayed death much longer than

possEssoR OF OLD DOLLAR
John Gerlach Owns Coin Made by United
 States no Years Ago

States no Years Ago.
 John Gerlach, partner of I. H. Fry in the lumber business, whose present headquarters are at Con- way, IS the possessor of a United States dollar made in I7oo. The coin IS in perfect preservation, the lettering and figures being distinct and showing little wear. Except for its size 1t bears little resent blance to the modern dollar. A peculiar feature is the lettering around its edge, forming the words "One Hundred Cents-Unit-One Dol lar. ' The I3 stars representing the colonial states are grouped about the head of the goddess of liberty, which is very different in appearance from the profile stamp ed on dollars today.
 The coin has been in possession of MT. Gerlach s family for many years, having been handed down to him by his father. It is doubt less worth valuable premium, but the owner refuses all offers for it.
