RUSSIA LEADS WORLD AS A
WHEAT GROWER.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Unit
ed States has lost it's place as the
greatest wheat-producing country in
the world, and Russia now holds
that distinction Even though last
year the total yield of wheat in the
United States was next to the largest
in the history of America agricul-
ture-only the crop of 1901 having
exceeded it-Russia last year pro-
duced the remarkably large harvest
of 7S3,000,000 bushels, or 46,9S0,-
100000 pounds, which constitutes
the largest crop ever harvested by
any country, and 26,OOO,OOO bush
els greater than that of the United
States.
The great yield of Russia for
1909, as shown by the revised official
returns, which have just been re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is the feature
of the grain world for the year.
Coming after three successive short
crops. the great one exceeds by more
than 1OO,0OO,OO0 bushels the pre-
vious record of Russia
Only once before has the wheat
production of Russia surpassed that
of the United States, namely in
1904, when the crop here was a par
tial failure. Now in a year when
the American yield is next to the
largest ever grown in the United
States, Russia a second time takes
first place.
The wheat acreage in Russia has
I been rapidly increasing for many
years. Last year it was more than
65,000,000 acres. Rye was grown
on 100000 acres last year. Rye
is the chief bread grain of Russia,
while wheat is the money crop"
about one-fourth of the whole being
exported.

HUMAN LIFE FOR JANUARY,101O.

The piquant, beautiful face of
Elsie Janis greets the reader on the
cover of Human Life for January.
and the issue carries a splendidly il
lustrated story of this very clever
little star.
A wealth of other good things is
bound between the covers of this
number. Alfred Henry Lewis sec
ond instalment of Travelling with
Taft is undoubtedly the big maya
zine feature of the opening year, and
his account of secret meeting at a
certain Beverly cottage last summer
is full of surprising disclosures.
Rufus H. Gilmore has an absorb
ing story on Mrs. Augusta E. Stet-
son, the dethroned but still feared
and powerful leader of the great
Christian Science church which she
built in New York City. 1t is a re-
markable story of remarkable
woman
Vance Thompson tells the strange
story of the duel waged by Nine.
Steinheil-the witch of the Elysee"
for her life, in which she matched
her beauty, wit and fascination
against relentless judge, and won.
More wonderful than the Arabian
Nights is the story of Joseph Par
rott and the building of the great
Flagler railroad in Florida, by which
it will be possible next February to
go by rail to Havana.

PoYNTELLE.

Ice harvesting and billiards are
in order here the last two weeks,
with the odds in favor of the bliz-
yards.
Tuesday, December 2S, Philander
Black, of Maplewood. came here,
accompanied by the following as
sistants: Messrs. Alton Black, Alton
Van Sickle Fred Van Sickle, Fred
Bell Clyde Bell, Elmer Brown.
Mahon Grumick and John Bell, all
of Maplewood. They arrived here
on the noon train and after dinner
repaired to Lake Five Mile, where
the Consumers Ice Company, of
Scranton. has an up-to-date ice
plant of twenty thousand tons ca
pacity. They proceeded to prepare
for business while the telephone
was kept hot throughout the vicin-
ity announcing that Mr.. Black had
come, as it is always a sign some
thing is going to be done when he
appears. By Thursday night every
thing was in working order. Next
in order was to organize a working
force, which Mr.. Black proceeded
to do with his usual dispatch, as
follows: Alton Black, in charge of
the field; H. c. Wolff, of Orson,
feeding the plane. He proved the
right man in the right place, by
pushing up twelve thousand cakes
in eight hours. /. W. Hine was on
the planer; Lafe Bennett of Win
wood. on the gooseneck; Nick Bart
Lesson of Orson, tending friction; ;
Alton Van Sickle, carpenter; John
Bell, filler; H. w. Sanford, of Orson,
ex-Superintendent of the Poyntelle
anu Orson Ice company, as general
utility man; FLOYD Phillips, of Win
wood. timekeeper, and, last, but
not least Tom Smith, of Orson.
Thus organized, with seventy-five
men and eight teams, all were work
ing like clock-work when Mr.. Davis,
general manager of the company
came up from Scranton last Monday
and sent Philander Black to Maple
wood to look after their ice cutting
there, leaving Alton Black in charge

ice that had collected in front OF

and went down amongst the foe
One of the other men came to his
assistance. He went to the shanty
and dried a little and was soon back
TO his post, none the worse for his
bath.

out.

The game was played at the High
School Gymnasium on Friday night
and it was a bowling success-espec-
tally to the Honesdale boys The
score was So to in the honor of the
High School.
The home team had their oppon-
ents simply dazzled during the forty
minutes of play and never during
the game was there the slightest
chance for the boys from over the
mountain. The particular stars for
the locals were Jacobs and Brown,
