Washington, Dec, 16.-Final
estimates of the crops of the
United States published today
by the Department of Agricul-
ture at Washington show a total
of 5,497 million bushels for the
four principal cereals, corn, oats
wheat and barley, an increase of
1862 million bushels, or almost
30 per cent, over the figures for
1911, but the estimated farm val
ue of these crops, based on prices
prevailing December l, is less l
per cent greater than the much
smaller yields in 1911. The
total valve of these four crops is
2,64l million dollars, compared
with 2,623 million dollars last
year.
The final corn yield is ~ mil.
lion bushels less and winter

acres in the corn area and an in
crease of $4,000 acres in the
winter wheat area compared with

the same as preliminary esti-

million dollars, compared with

Tables Turned
A FRIEND.

1t was ever the opinion of
Charles N. Butts that any man
who would hold mp another with
revolver and rob him was a
coward at heart.
Butts read in the papers about
the men who went into grocery
stores and other business houses
and robbed them. He heard of
the highwaymen who stopped
men on the street and robbed
them at the point of revolver,
and he said many times:
"a man who will do that IS a
craven hearted coward and if
one of them ever comes into my
store to hold me up I'll prove
that he's a coward"
His friends who heard him say
this were won't to smile and say
that 1t was all very we'll for Butts
to talk that way, but wait until
the robber came. Then the
story would be different. What
could a man do, no matter how
brave he was, if a robber had
revolver pointed at his heart,
and his finger on the trigger?
"All right" Butts would re-
ply you needn't tell me that a
robber can keep a revolver point
ed at me and open cash regis
ter and take out money at the
same time. He's got to take his
eye off that revolver, and if he
does, III spot him..
And last night Butts proved
that his argument was good and
sound. The robber came into
his grocery store at 90l San
dusky Avenue, Kansas City,
Kas., masked, and with a revol-
yer pointing at the heart of Butts.
Ii was all in the regulation way,
and all done so quickly that
Butts hadn't time to draw the
revolver from his own pocket.
The robber stood him up against
the wall with his hands up, curs-
ed and staggered and Kissed
murderous threats and backed
over to the cash register.
And all the time Butts watch
ed the muzzle of that revolver,
waiting for it to waver out of
line. That moment came when
the robber lifted sack contain
ing Sll out OF the register and
dropped it into his own pocket.
In doing that the eyes of the rob
Der turned from Butts to the
register and in that instant Butts
had his own revolver out and
aimed at the robber. He pulled
the trigger. 1t snapped, but
did not go off.
Then it was a duel between a
man of courage and a trem bling,
shaking robber, whose hand
wavered with cowardice and fear

Even the Balkan war will increase
the cost of living in FL Paso- It is a
far cry from war to warmth, but the
cost Of living has spanned it.
The miners in the Dawson and other
New Mexico fields are quitting IN
large numbers to go back to fight un-
der the banner of the Bulgar, Greek
or Servian. These coal fields supply
a large part Of the coal for FL PasO's
heating Scarcity Of labor in these
coal fields Will limit the production
and increase the cost Of coal. The
Greeks at Dawson are leaving there
in trainload lots for New York to
return to Greece and fight the Turks.
Local ocal dealers have already been
notified that the cost Of coal will be
increased il this exodus continues.

ROSWELL DISCUSSES
ADDITIONAL BONDING
Controversy Over Ability of City to
Float Bonds May Affect Local
Option situation.

Roswell, n. IL, Nov. Can ROs-
well incur an additional bonded in
debtedness, is a question that is be-
ing agitated here and one that it is
believed viii likely put the saloon
back into the city to cover the in
debtedneSS. The current indebtedness
of the city is something like $4,000,
and going deeper every day. Many
want the mayor to put bond issue
up to the people. He was of the
opinion that the city is fully bonded
under the state 4 percent of the prop
erty valuation act Mayor Atkinson
mad city attorney j. NJ. Dye prepare
him a decision on the case.
The city attorney states that the
present bonded Indebtedness of the
city is S209,9O0, Of which $4,000 is
for water and sewer. The question
worrying the prohibitionists is: Does
the water and sewer bonded indebted
ness come within the 4 percent priv
iIege2
The total assessed valuation of the
city is S1,6O4. $50. If the city attorney
is correct, the valuation must be in
creased to S5,240,000 before Z another
cent Of Indebtedness can be incurred.
