WHAT THE CENSUS SHOWS.

New York Evening Post: There
are two interesting questions-the
first, what Is the real bearing OF our
rapid growth in population on the gen
eral problem of prosperity; the sec
ond, more narrow in its scope, no" 40
the census figures bear on the ques'
ton of the country's consuming so
much of it's own agricultural output
that it will cease to be great agrl-
cultural exporter? The answer to the
first is easy. Progressive develop
ment in the country's industrial re-
sources and financial power is in
sured by this increase in population;
but not because of the mere fact OF
increase. Turkey or China might ill.,
crease more than 30 per cent in de-
cade and be worse off than before. be-
cause of lack of industrial opportun'
ity for the increased population and
lack of energetic initiative in the pop.
ulation itself At point, the old
'Malthusian law of pressure OF popl'
lation on means of subsistence would
in such case begin to operate. On the
other hand, France. whose population
hardly changes from year to year, IS
immensely prosperous. because
though it's new opportunities are
small, they are sufficient and the peo'
pie are busy in making use of them
The United States has the happy COM
bination of a field of industrial op-
portunity only partly opened up, and
Il people alert and eager to develop it.
To such a country rapid increase in
population is sure key to growing
financial and industrial prestige.
But, have we outgrown our capacity
TOR agricultural production large
enough to feed and clothe the increas-
ing population, and still sustain the
export trade? On account of harvest
yicissitudes. the fairest statistical test
is to take the average production for
the five years before the census. This
is the result:
19O6.191O:
Wheat, Corn. Cotton,
bushels. bushels. bales.
692,OOOOOO 2,Sl60OO, 900 1900 900
1s9619OO:
Wheat, Corn. Cotton,
bushels. bushels. bales.
54O,OOO,OOO 2,O58, 900 900 9.5OOO0O
For wheat the Increase has been 2S
Der cent. corn 81 per cent, and cotton
q ID per cent. AS the increase in
was 300 per cent during
the decade, output of agricultural pro-
ducts-even of cotton-has obviously
increased faster than population. If
our export trade has not been main
tanned, it must have occurred for one
or both of two reasons. Either the

Or 1t Will Wake up the Police and the Town For That How
 It Works.

At the cost>>of $1,OOO the Bank of Pine Bluff, one of the most pobular and progressive of the local banking institutions, has installed an e1ectrI. cal burglar alarm system in} their bank at Second avenue and Main street, that is second to none in the united States. The system was in- stalled by E. P. Kightfnger, of the American Protection Company of
 Minneapolis, MinnI The system is the most modern of any in use in the larger cities and there are only three ih the State of Arkansas. A public demonstration of the system will be given at the Bank within the next few weeks. to which the public will be invited
 As about everything of value that a bank hats goes into the vault at night, it is obvious that the thing that keeps the safe cracker from get ting into that vault is the thing that affords perfect protection This is the mission of the electrical system just installed-to keep the burglar out of the vault. To do this, the entire inside of the vault is lined with double plate of steel.
 Every square inch of the inside of the vault, including the door, floor, ceiling and walls is protected by this steel, kept constantly charged with electricity. To penetrate this lin- ing, Or the door, in any manner whatsoever, instantly sets the whole system in operation, and turns loose such a pandemonium of noise that the "safe cracker has yet to be born who can continue his operations when the full alarm gets busy. The electrical energy to operate the sys- tenn is derived from powerful batter ies placed inside of the vault in a we'll built cabinet, which also con- tains the switchboard, by which the entire system is operated and con t1olled. This arrangement places the power for operation and the means of control all inside the vault beyond the reach of anyone on the outside. Over the vault door in the main banking room there are placed two ten-inch gongs. protected by powerful shields, provided with inner contact shields so that any effort whatsoever to get the gong and put t out of commission will instantly set

WHY SALvES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-Only Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given up by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
to the inner skin below the epider-
mis- where the eczema germs are
lodged.
Thistle quality Of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil of wintergreen as
compounded In d. d. d. Prescrip-
ton. After ten years Of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin spe-
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend d. d. d. Prescription at
$1.0O a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we have arranged with the
d. Cd. ID. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special large trial bottle at 25
cents on a special offer now. This
first bottle ought TO convince every
sufferer, and, at any rate, II win
surely take away the itch at once.
