Ward Begins New Duties
sy RTx BTa1h

DIG. buoyant. bracing, this new ID story surges along through stormy seas of excitement to its final anchor age in the placid depths of love. Yes. love is here the strong, passionate love of a man for his hearts desire. Revenge is here-the hot, rocking re- venge of the Sicilian Ma6a. Corrup- tion is here political corruption which leads to riot. And through all these scenes of violence and bloodshcd there flows eady stream of the genuine Rex Beach humor- the humor of bril- liant phrase and iud:crous situation.
 Like bis other books ol the iawless North, this new novel will quicken every heart that pumps red blood, and while in real life one does not care for overmuch slaughter, yet in fiction the guns boom softly. and the blood-stains dry when we close the book.

 Washington, October e.-Never berore have the great cereal crops of the United States been so bountiful as those of this year. Records of production for almost every cereal have been surpassed, in some instances by millions of bushels.
 The october crop report of the depart ment of agriculture, issued today, shows spring wheat, oats, barley, rye and hay all have exceeded the best record pro- auctions, while the crops of. corn and potatoes, from present indications, also will be the greatest ever harvested
 Speaking of this great growing made by the country's farmers. James Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture. today said:
 ''The crops are the heaviest on record The season has been favorable, but some consideration is due to wide efforts made In late years by the federal government to help farmers throughout the country to get better returns from average acre
 Twenty eight million pieces of ltera- ture have been sent out by the depart ment in addition to the advices from the state stations along these lines. So the farmers have been helped In producing their record breaking crops.
 The features of the report are the enor- nous haryests of corn, oats and spring wheat. More than S.O00.000,000 bushels Of corn, almost 1.500,000 bushels of oats and 330 O0O, 900 bushels of spring wheat have been grown. The states in the northwest are harvesting the greatest crops ever grown there.
 In North Dakota, 146. 592000 bushels of spring wheat, the greatest spring wheat harvest ever grown by any state, was produced The yield per acre there was increased from eight bushels last year to IS bushels this year.
 Iowa with 2S9, ,7S0 bushels, Illinois with 1s2, 726,0OO bushels, Minnesota with 1884, GOO bushels and North Dakota with 36- 13S,0 900 bushels were the principal oat pro- ducers. In each of these states the yield per acre this year was almost double last years yield.
 "It looks as If we won't have to inn port any potatoes this year." said Sec retary Wilson in commenting upon the record potato crop Indications are that the farmers will have 10S,000,000 bushels more potatoes this year than last, when by reason of the short crop large quan- titles were imported from Europe.
 Details of the states follow:
 The number of bushels per acre, the total production in bushels (000 omit ted) and the quality in per cent of oats were:
