Statistics which have been compiled
by the department of agriculture at

figures relative to exports Of farm
products during the past sixty years.

have increased in value from an aver
age Of S15O.OO0.000 year in the FIVE
year period from 1851 to 1880 to an
average OF SST5.0OO,OOO a year in the
period 1901 TO 1905, while in two sub

have exceeded in value the above av-

LONG LOST SON SAVES
FATHER FROM JAIL

When the bunch of drunks were
called up at the police court yesterday
the old familiar figure of Dan Donald
son was in the usual place-up before
the Judge for drunkenness and dis
order.
Mrs. Donaldson was there, as usual,
pleading clemency and trying to get
him off as she had many times done
before. But this time a stalwart
young man was with her, and when
Donaldson's namc was called the
young man got up and spoke to the
Judge. He said: "Your honor, that
man is my father, whom I haven't
seen for ten years. I have Just re-
turned home to find him a prisoner
for drunkenness. want you to let
him off for just this one time and 1
will be responsible for his actions IN
the future. 1 will promise that will
cure him Of this habit. I will have
him taken to the Gatlin Institute on
Grand avenue and have him cured. 1
don't think father will ever trouble
you again"
Tears ran down the old mans cheeks
as he recognized his long lost son
pleading for him in the court. AS the
Judge gave him back to his boy the
old man fell In the youths arms and
said, "God bless you, Jack. You have
saved your father" 1t was rather an
unusual scene in the police court, visi-
bly, affecting all thoee who witnessed it.

WRESTLERS

Card of Jiu Jitsu and Sword Con-

Fight Shed

Get ready for another session of jiu-
jitsu. Prof" Fukuda, who claims to
be the leading exponent of the over
rated Japanese sport in this country,
has chartered the Maud junction fight
shed, and next Tuesday night will pull
his first carnival. The program to be
served is as follows:
Prof. Fukuta VS.. c. F. Newman,
jiujitsu contest.
Wa -anoura VS.. Fred Johnson,
catch -catch-can.
Nakajima VS.. Ito, jiu-jitsu contest.
japanese fencing and sword con-
tests.
Newman, who is scheduled to meet
the professor in what is slated as the
main event of the evening, comes here
from Peru, South America, where, he
says, he was the champion jiu-jitsu
exponent of that country. Perhaps the
PeruVians are not aware of the fact,
but let that go. Newman is eX-
pected to have a tough time against
the Jap, who shows up well in his
particular line.
The Johnson-Wa Kanoura bout is
expected to provide a slight thrill, as
the American boy has proved his
worth as a wrestler and should make
his Oriental opponent look to whatever
iaurels go to the winner The best
two in three falls will decide this ses-
sion In addition to one other jiu-
iitsu contest the program will contain
some Japanese fencing and sword
work

open to inspection and the funds were
raised pro rata among the various rae
ing associations"

ferences were held by men interested

KEEP COMPETENT DRIVERS
IN AUTOS, SUGGESTED LAW

Thirty days after the next meeting
Of the city council, the time required
for ordinances to become effective af-
ter their passag it is expected that
an amendment to the traffic ordinance
will be put into effect which will re-
quire all automobile owners to keep
competent drivers in their machines
while they are standing in the streets
in the congested districts.
A provision of the present traffic or
dinance says that no automobile shall
be left standing in the congested dis
trict, which includes certain sections
of Broadway, Main, Spring and Hill
streets, for longer than thirty minutes
unless in charge of some person"
The amendment will require that the
person in charge shall be competent
to drive the machine. In this way
there will be no danger of the ap-
proach of firefgh.ing apparatus to the
scene of a fire in the congested dis
trict being hampered by standing au-
uomobiles.
