CENSUS SHOWS FARMS

Investment Much Greater, But
Acreage Has Declined.
AFFECTS The COST OF LIVING
The Wages Paid Farm Labor Through.
out the Country Are Said to Show a
General Increase of so Per Cent.
Since 1900.

Washington. "A census bulletin
soon to be issued is expected to add to
the discussion of the causes for the
present high cost of living. This bull.
letin will give in part the returns OF
the agricultural census made this year
under the direction of the federal au.
thorities. 1t will show that whereas
the present value of all the farms in
the United States is approximately
$4,000, 100000 as compared with q
little more nan Ss0,000,000,00 in
1900 the total acreage has declined.
According to officials the total
value OF farm land, buildings and i'm.
plements has increased enormously
as compared with values disclosed in
the census of 1900. The value 9.
farm lands in 1900 was fixed by the
census of that year at $20,500,000,-
900, more than double the aggregate
of capital invested in manufactures.
The expenditures for farm labor
are said to show a general increase OF
SO per cent. This increase is repre-
scented by an increase in wages paid
on the farm, the figures showing that
there has been no increase in the
number of laborers employed.

200 DEAD AROUND NAPLNS
Towns and Villages Overwhelmed by
Avalanches of Mud.

Rome.-Later reports are far from
diminishing the extent of the disaster
in the Bay Of Naples and the Gulf Of
Salerno. They fail as yet to account
for it in any consistent name
Whether an earthquake, a tidal wave
or a cloudburst or a combination of
all three caused the widespread ruin
and loss of life along many miles Of
shore and on the islands lee by can
not yet be told with certainty.
The towns chiefly damaged are
Casamicciola, Lacco, Ameno, Posita-
no, Tore del Greco, Resina and Por-
tici in the province of Naples, and
Amalf, Vietri, Maori, Minori, Ponte-
cagnano and Cetara, province of Sa-
lerno. There were victims every
where. Thus far 80 dead have been
recovered, together with a countless
number of injured.
The total number of deaths is con-
servatively estimated at from $50 to
200. The streets in many places are
buried under several feet of fluid
mud. The swollen rivers have food
ed enormous areas.

MODERN

Three, only three, my darling,
Sterilized, sanative, slow;
Not like the swift and careless ones
We used to know
When we kissed because We loved each
other,
Simply to have some fun;
And lavished kisses as the summer
Lavishes sun. .
But as they kiss whose lips are sprayed
With antiseptic brine;
When nothing is left to give except
An anodyne.
The first kiss, oh, my darling,
Is sprayed with germicide;
For many noxious little germs
In red lips hide.
The second kiss, my darling,
Through a%ntiseptic gauze,
Is truly in accordance with
HYGIENE laws.
The third kiss, oh, my darling,
My loce, 1 cannot seei
This fine wire mask is horrible
1t seems to me.
And though. of course, azotic germs
We must forestalE
This one last kiss, my darling, is
The worst of all!

Harvey placed his hand, which held
the weapon, in her lap and asked her
to shoot him, she said. At the re-
quest of Mr.. Ashbridge, his associate,
James M. Davis, lay on the cot In
