This is the naval construction pro-
gram of the secretary of the navy as
1t appears in his annual report. The

Is absolutely erroneous
"As clearly shown by the estimates

capitulation, the estimates for the
naval bill, exclusive of the building
program amounted to s113.S06, 23124.
The first year expenses for the new

for the naval bill to $127,016,159.24.

The Successful Novelist.

To become a successful novelist II
is necessary to possess some very ex-
ceptional qualities both of mind and
heart. Even as poets learn IN suffer.
ing what they sing In song, so does
the novelist learn by experience whf !
he gives to the world In story. And
this is not to advance the ridiculous
claim that the novelist must neces.
sarily plumb every depth and scald
every height of human feeling before
he can aspire to write convincingly.
but only that he must at least have
studied life at first hand and OBJ
served things for himself, and brought
an importiai judgment, aided by that
semi-divine faculty OF intuition which
is born of imagination. to bear upon
the evidence of the things he has seen
and the doing OF the people with
whom he has mingled. Edwin Pugh

homa Farmers Holding Grain.

Salina, Kan, Dec Central
western and northwestern Kansas
never has been 10 dry at this season
of the year as at present, and the
farmers fear for the safety of the fall
crops. Most of the wheat scarcely is
above the ground, even in the Smoky
valley, where wheat always has had
good start by this time. Less than
a quarter-inch of rain has fallen in
this section during the last three
months and the roads are covered sew
eral inches deep with dust, making
travel unpleasant.
The big wheat yield in western
Kansas counties last season encour-
aged the farmers to plant larger
acreage than heretofore, but they
estimate now that less wheat win be
raised than last year, even in the face
of the increased acreage. The pro-
longed dry weather. it is thought, has
killed completely some of the wheat
fields.
Hoping for Moisture.
In central Kansas farmers are opti-
mistic enough to hope that the cold
wave which started Sunday will re-
suit in either rain or snow, but the
outlook for wheat now is decidedly
gloomy.
