which just now is engrossing
the attention of the entire nation. The
cost Of the necessaries of life has been
steadily increasing since 1896. The
symptoms have been viewed with in
creasing alarm by nearly all classes.
Within the last year the matter has
reithed an acute stage. The average
increase in the cost of necessities from
Jan. l. 1909. to Jan. 1, 1910, was 11.7
per cent. The increase over July /.
1896 was 81 per cent
The wage and salary earners in the
cities have seen the dread line" grad
uaily drawing closer. The margin be-
tween income and expenses. narrow at
best. has shrunk to the vanishing
point. All this while newspapers have
been shouting prosperity, forgetful of
the old maxim that ''the real prosperi-
ty of nation is the citizens margin
of saving"
Whatever the cause of this increase
in the cost of necessities and comforts,
there are but two ways in which the
citizen as an individual can meet It.
The first is to increase his income.

neither it II a proposition for man who
has made failure OF farming in every
section Of the country, unless he is willing
to forget all he ever knew about farming

farming and put them into practice Faith

dry farm. You must work the ground -
the same time you are working up your
faith
The successful dry farmer must be a bust
ness man veil as a scientist and must
be able to apply these principles to the
cultivation of the soil.
Wyoming is anxious that every man who
enters the state to take up farming shall
have every facility and assistance that
will help him to make his undertaking
success During the last four years the
state has maintained an experimental dry
farm close to Cheyenne, where much time
az attention has been given to the man
ner OF producing the best results from the
lowest possible percentage Of precipitation
ton.
This farm is under the supervision OF DR.
| V. T. Cooke, who is always willing and
ready to give to the newcomer his thirty
years experience in farming in the arid
and semi-arid west
| In addition to the state experimental
farm, the United States Department OF
Agriculture has an extensive experimental
farm within two miles of Cheyenne, where
experiments in both dry farming and irri-
cation are carried on. The government
has Prof. j. H. Gordon, experienced
farmer, I'm charge of this farm. Prof. Cor
don is also willing and ready to help the
new settler on the road to success
Energy Required to Succeed
slip-shod farmers cannot succeed in
| Wyoming any more than they can in any
other country, either by irrigation or dry
farming. Every dry farmer should be a
| stock man as well as a grower of small
grains. A system of mixed farming with
dairy, poultry and meat products for the
market as accessory to soil products is
more certain OF success in all farming
operations on the dry farming land.
From his dairy herd the farmer should
realize sufficient income to provide for
his family and TO defray the running eN-
penses Of the farm Nothing can be more
profitable than a dairy herd for the dry
farmer, as Wyoming is well adapted for
dairying as excellent crops of forage car

tcnsively developed by the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company. The production at pres
ent is about 100000 tons per year of the
very best hcmitite ore.
Coal mining is the leading mineral indus
try in the state There are over 10000
square miles OF coal land in Wyoming
The kinds OF coal vary from pure ignite
to very high grade bituminous variety.
It has already been developed that wy

Immense OIL Fields.
The development OF the wonderful oil
fields OF Wyoming show them to be $3.50
miles long and 1870 miles wide. In some of
the oil districts there are many wells that
will produce ] 900 barrels a day OF very
excellent quality There is no question but
what this state IL one of the best and most
promising i'm the United States to oil men

SECRETARY or WAR POINTS OUT
uNPREPAREDNEss OF NATION
FOR WAR.
INADEQUATE REGULAR FORCE
TOO WIDELY SCATTERED
Secretary Favors Concentration and
Abandonment Of Many Posts-costs
Too Much to Maintain in Present
Unfit Barraeks-susscstions For
Armament Of Panama Canal.

Washington. Dec. lin his annual
report to the president today. Secre-
tary of War Stimson declared that the
contingency of war with first class
power would find the army of the
United States practically unprepared.
He attributed this largely to the
fact that the army was scattered out
over the country" in too many posts.
and to a lack of reserves. The army
on the peace footing habitually main
tanned with miniature companies ana
troops he characterized as ineffective
for any serious war service.
AS to the unpreparedness OF the army
in artillery and ammunition, Secretary
Stimson says that "at the present rate
of appropriation 1T Is estimated that 1t
would take more than fifty years to
secure a reasonable supply of field ar
tillery guns, carriages and ammunition
that would be necessary In the event
of war"
Army Comes High.
| The report makes the somewhat
startling statement that at conserva-
| tive estimate the expense PEI effective
rifieman in the United States army Is
between two and five times as much as
any first class power on the continent
of Europe. This comparison Is made
after excluding from consideration the
higher pay and better subsistence thar
American soldiers receive. This 1act
is stated as an illustration, Secretary
Stimson declares. of the extravaganza
of the existing system OF wide distr1-
button Of the army.
Dealing with insular affairs. the sec
i retary of war urges that the right OF
American citizenship be granted to the
natives Of Porto Rico. A Porto Ricar
travelling abroad now is literally man
without a country and Mr. Stlmsor
saws that a continued refusal to grant
citizenship to the islanders will grave
" wound the sensibilities Of this loya
PEOPLE," The demand for CITIZENSHIP
of the Porto Ricans Is entirely dis
associated from any thought OF state
hood and it is asserted that neither IN
the United States nor in Porto Rico Is
there any contemplation of statehood
as the ultimate form Of government ir
the island
As to Friar Lands.
Congress is urged to express 1t:
lunoccupied friar lands in the Philip
pines. to increase the limit Of indebted
ness which may be incurred by the
Philippine government for public works
from s5,000,000 to SIS. 900. 900. to pass a
Philippine naturalization law and tc
grant pensions to Americans who have
served ten years in the islands.
Secretary Stimson recommends thai
the permanent organization to opera
the Panama canal be established on q
strictly business basis and not with the
idea of uplifting or governing a de-
pendent people, The question of tolls
he believes, should be left to the de.
termination Of the president based
upon acquired experience. American
shipping should be granted practically
free use of the canal. The interstate
commerce commission should extend it,
