hard year with prestige enhanced and
with confidence justified. TO All even
greater degree than in the past will
it be pointed our as the ideal winter
wheat country. The soil has shown
itself adapted, not only for the pro-
duction of bumper crops in favorable
years, but also for the growing of bet
ter than average crops in the most
unfavOrable seasons.
1t is hardly probable that two such
seasons rs the present will come in
succession. The acreage of winter
wheat sOwn this fall is almost if not
quite double that sown last fall.
This increase of acreage will grow
rapidly each year, until before the
end of the present decade, the mil
lion and half or more acres of agri-
cultural land in the Judith Basin shall
have been brought under the domin-
ion of the plOw. Within a period ex-
tending over less than one-third of an
average life time, Il section of country
twice as large as the state of Rhode
Island shall have been transformed
from a condition Of comparative use
lessness into condition of the most
prosperous, progressive husbandry to
be found on the North American con-
tinent. 1t will be producing as much
wheat as some Of the greatest grain
growing states Of the Mississippi val
ley. 1t will stand as the marvel of
the nation in the rapidity of its de-
velOpment and the upbuilding of il
sturdy. reliant citizenship II the
midst of what has so long been point
ell out as the Great American Desert.

Postal Card Dangers.

but It may be used in q way that will
make considerable trouble, says the
Utica Prebs. Section 1898 of the fed.
eral statutes makes II a misdemeanor
to place in the mails a postal card on
which is written statement OF as-
count or a demand for money Of any
description. A Rochester photographer
was arrested on a charge Of sending to
a woman customer on a postal card
a bill for two dollars for photographs.
He wrote on the card that the BAL
was a year old and suggested that II
be paid in weekly installments of nvs
cents. On being arraigned he pleaded
not guilty and put up $3.50 bail.

NOTICE

This is to notify all persons owning

for money, cigars, gum, candy or
anything of value whatsoever, ths'
the operation Of such slot machine is in
violation Of Law as being q disposal
of property by chance and banking
and percentage game played for some-
thing Of value. An owner of one of
one Of these slot machines has lately
informed me hat such machines are
are 80 constructed as tn have q Ter
cent in the favor of the owner and
that children play the same and that
bows often spend on Saturday nights
their weeks earning on q slot ma
chine.
All Deputy Sheriffs, cOnstables and
narshals ARE directed to seize all
such slot machines being operated on
or after June lst 1910 and to prefer
charges against the person who oper-
ated the same The same instructions
apply to the throwing of dice for
money, cigars or anything of value.
There is a positive statute against
the throwing of dice.
An ordinance Of all City Councils
and Town Boards prohibiting such
slot machines would greatly help in
the suppression of same.
