that more than s1S,0O0,000 was re-
received last year on postal cards

Revenue amounting to 54,1S6,-

and s9,000,00O from second class,
totaling about s200,0o0,o00.

a strong movement on behalf of a

the wheat raised of the Dakotas.
The seasons in those states may
be too wet or too dry for crop rails
ing. If just right, and a good yield
is obtained and a favorable market
awaits the farmer, he may realize
as high as $40 or even $50 an acre
for his gross output. Naturally he
will cultivate more acres and there
in lies his only chance of evening
up.
But from our irrigated lands a
crop of 500 an acre is common
for sugar beets, with S125 to $3.50
per acre for potatoes, $50 for alfal-
ia and SIS for grains. Berry patches
have yielded from $500 to $1,000
per acre and apple orchards all the
way from $3.50 to 81 900 per acre.
Farming is no easier in this coun-
try than any other. but the crops
particularly the field crops-are a
much more certain yield, for mois-

In fruit growing the danger OF
failure is also growing gradually

smudging and other scientific atten-

There are few places in the world

NEWEST AND LARGEST
OF THE OCEAN LINERS
"Titanic' Goes Down a Thousand
Miles From Shore Hundreds
Are Drowned.

The greatest ocean disaster in
the history of steamship travel oc-
Cured in mid-ocean Monday morn
ing, when the Titanic, bound from
Liverpool to New York, ran into an
iceberg. and sunk.
Before going down wireless mes
sages were flashed and the Olym-
pic hastened to the scene, but not
until the Titanic had sunk From
the boats and wreckage afloat, $50
of the more than 1000 souls aboard
were rescued, leaving the number
drowned at above 200.
The Titanic was the newest and
largest of the ocean liners and was
making her initial trip, travelling
homeward at record speed. When
the disaster overlook her she was
ten hours ahead of time Her prop
erty loss is given at 81 100000.
The wreck of the Titanic has
proven the horror of the season and
the newspapers have added to its
gruesome reality in every imagina-
tive detail.
The facts from survivors viii
straightcn out many incomplete re
ports and probably prove some to
be unfounded.
That more than 200 lives were
los there seems no question OF
doubt, while more than 500 were
saved by the use of that marvel,
wireless telegraphy, is equally GER
tain, and without which probably
none would have survived and no
present knowledge had of the YES
sells loss.
Many notables were aboard the
Titanic and were reported to have
gone down with her captain. Among
these were mentioned John Jacob
Astor, Benjamin Guggenheim, broth

AS in all such cases, much that
was printed in the daily newspa-
pers was speculative, and the real
story will be read within great in
terest Where the wreck occurred
the waters are known to be danger
Gus at this season of the year, when
fogs and ice-bergs are frequent. If
as is hinted, Captain Smith took a
short cut route against due
warning, in order to make a record
for the new liner, he is entitled to
severest censure, even though be-
yChd its hearing.
