FARM VALUES.

The Minneapolis Tribune has the
following editorial comment on the
census returns on agricultural mat
ters:
The best support OF those who hold
to the quantitive theory of money Ia
connection with rise OF pricas is the
doubling of farm values in ten years.
Land has risen lis, building az, Ina
plements So and the total los per cent.
Neither tariff nor trusts have done
this. These causes may have put up
the cost Of buildings and implements,
but these show less percentage of in
crease than the bare land Something
may be said for the theory OF a scare
ity value, due to exhaustion Of free
land, since the greatest previous rise
took place in the decade just before
the passage of the homestead act. But
that was also a decade Of gold ex-
pansion.
The decennial increases in order
from 1900 back to 1850 were q, 32, SO,
IL and 101 per cent. Observe that the
small increase of the Civil war decade
followed the doubling after the gold
discoveries in California and Australia,
just as the present doubling follows
the smallest increase since.
The strongest argument against the
gold expansion theory is that 1t
worked so differently in the two cases.
In the fifties high prices followed the
gold expansion Immediately. The first
decade of this century was the second
after expansion without precedent be-
gan from about the high level OF the
ffties. Why was the response so slow,
II that was the stimulus?

THROWN FROM HER HORSE
AND SERIOUSLY INJURED
MISS ESTHER GARRISON, DAUGH-
TER OF T. D. GARRISON, INJURED
Was Rendered Unconscious for "a
Hours and Her Sight and Hearing
Have Been Left Affected

Cheswold, Sept. 19.-Miss Esther
Garrison, the 15-year-old daughter of
Representative Thomas D. Garrison,
of the Second Representative Dis
trict of Kent County, is slowly re-
covering from an accident she met
with last Wednesday morning at her
fathers farm, near Cheswold, and
which may cause permanent affec-
tion of both sight and hearing. She
was asked to go to one of the fields
on the farm for two heads of cab
bage. Miss Garrison is fond of
horse back riding and usually able
to manage a horse with success.
After her favorite horse "Fannie'
had been taken from the stable she
rode to the field where she secured
the cabbages. On her return to the
house, the cabbages were about to
slip off, when she dropped the rein
and grabbed for them. The horse
became frightened and in trying to
get the reins she was thrown heavily
to the ground, sustaining a fracture
at the base of the skull and a bad
injury to her ear. She bled pro-
fusely and remained in a selni-un-
conscious state for over "a hours.
DR.. E. S. Dwight, of Smyrna, was
summoned and has been giving close
attention to the case. Miss Garri
son is slightly improved at thir
writing and her many friends hopt
for her speedy recovery. Her faith
er, Representative Garrison, wa
away when the accident occurred bu
returned shortly after. Much sym
patny is expressed over the unfor
tunate affair. While it is not full
determined that her sight will re
main affected, her hearing ma
never be right.

RUNAWAY SUNDAY EVENING
Team Driven BY Mrs. c. Davis Turn
er Became Unmanageable

A. runaway team dashing down
Commerce Street Sunday evening
about dusk mingled with the pitiful
screams of woman, brought many
to their front doors and equally as
many on the streets awaiting with
anxious suspense the outcome. The
team was that driven by Mrs. c.
Davis Turner. The horse, it seems,
became frightened at an automobile
or something on west Commerce
street as she was driving toward
home. The horse became unmanag
able and dashed down the street,
gaining impetus as it went down
hill. At the "Fcur Corners" Mr..
Turner, who was waiting for his
wife, saw her awful predicament
and rushed out ahead of the team.
Other bystanders did so too, when
the horse slipped and fell and slid
across the brick street. The horse was
caught just as it was about to pick
up its feet for another dash. For
tunately no accident occurred to
either occupant or team, but Mrs.
Turner was left nervous for a while
on account of her fright.

Yesterday was "Show Day" in
Smyrna, when for the first time this
season circus was exhibited in this
vicinity. The management raised
their tents in the Voshel lot nearly
opposite Frank Boyer's residence.
just north of Smyrna. The attend
ance at both exhibitions was good,
but generally speaking the crowds
on the street were not as large as
former years. The distance of the
show grounds from Smyrna may have
had something to do with it. Here
tofore shows have in most cases
performed in the Jefferson Lot"
Some local interest was given to the
show by the appearance of a former
Smyrna woman as one of the trapese
actors and performers. The street
parade was highly creditable and the
spectators of the show speak of the
program as being better than the
average circus which comes to Smyr-
