1912 FARM PRODUCTS
Larger Yields Have Done Much to
Help Values.

Secretary Wilson's estimate OF the
wealth produced on farms during the
current season is something greater
than s9.00O,000,0O0. For the proceed
ling three years the official estimate
ranged at am average of something
more than ss,500,o0O,OO0. The esti-
mate of 1903. the first year in the de-
Icade considered below, was little less
than $6,O00,0o0,0 900; the growth In
value of farm products has therefore
Increased by SO per cent.
Prices at the farm indicate that in
the five years ending with 1912, pro-
ducts have been on q considerably
higher level than in the preceding
five years. The figures follow:

VIII Have 1913 chau,auaus.

The Bohsparte business men have
made arrangements to hold another
ohautauqua In 1913, The one held
during the past summer was success
financially and thus encourages the
committee TO have another one with
even better talent than the first.
The Oskaloosa herald., 1912-10-31

Wheat, corn and cotton have done
most to maintain farm values. This
season December prices of wheat are
.still among the highest. Beginning
with 1907, wheat Ii never sold for
less than S7.4 cents bushel. In only
one year since 1906 has December
corn been under so cents q bushel.
Cotton comes nearer being on par
ity during the last five years with
the earlier five years, but has still a
good margin above. Large yields,
rather than better prices, have helped
values. t

Penn "a; Des Moines o.

After three years of successive ties
Penn came to the front yesterday and
defeated their old rivals, Des Moines
college, by the score of "a to 0. The
game was played entirely in Des
Moines' territory and at no time dur
ing the game was the Penn goal in
danger Of being crossed. On two
other occasions Penn had the ball
on Des Moines' one-yard line, but did
not shove it over. In the last quarter
one more play would have seen an
other touchdown for the Quakers.
Simpson comes next Friday and
Coach Hinshaw will put the men
through some hard work this week
in preparation for the contest. Penn
defeated Simpson last year, but the
Methodists have the best team in
their history this season. They de-
Ifeated Des Moines 76 to 0 last week,
although Des Moines did not have as
strong team as they played against
Penn yesterday. Following is the

Will Mr.. Curry Enlighten

Since the endorsement given G. r.
Curry, the stand.pat Republican
nominee for Congress in this dis
trict against Joe Russell, by the Bull
Moosers at West Plains recently,
we have been repeatedly asked whom
be would support for the Presidency
Mr.. Taft or Mr.. Roosevelt. In as
much as this gentleman so far has
been nor. conmital on this point, ex-
cept to hirt with both sides, we are
OF course unable to say just where
he stands on this question: but II
Mr.. Curry believes in the bible de-
claration "Let your light shine, we
are OF the opinion that be surely
should inform the anxious voters
throughout the district, in the pa.
pers or other wise, just where he
stands-whether he expects to sup.
port and vote for Mr.. Taft or Col.
Roosevelt. We will admit that it
looks like Mr.. Curry is up against a
tough proposition, for there are un-
doubtely macy real progressives
who will not east their vote for any
man that is supporting Mr.. Taft In
his forlorn race, and there are just
as many stand pat Republicans who
would. never think Of casting their
vote for anyone espousing the Bull
Mooser's cause, while there are
many from both these factions who
will not support him II he remains
silent, which will show that be ex
poets to get their vote by deceiving
them.
II is true, and cannot be success
fully denied, that the line of demar-
cation between Rooseveltism and Re-
publieanism is so clear that no
straight-for ward man can defend a
course OF shifty silence as to which
side he stands on. Rooseveltism
and 2epublicanism are distinct is.
sues 10 this campaign-nothing more
nor less--and intelligent voters
know that a man who will not say
| just where he stand upon important
issues Is not the sort OF q man they
care TO trust. and we have no doubt
but that the great majority OF those

stands will wisely decide to cast

incumbent, Congressman RUSSELL

A plague OF flies swept over
Johnson county during the recent
hot spell and the suffering of live
stock rapidly rendered them use
less. Many dairymen have lost
the entire product of their herds,
the cows fretted by the flies cess-.
ing to give milk. Others are tax.
ing their animals from pastures
and placing them in screened
barns to protect them from the
flies. 1t is almost impossible to
use teams unprotected in the
fields on account OF the swarm:
of insects which attack them.
In a confession just made pub
lie Lyphus Davis, a member of
the Mammoth Spring bandit gang
says that he and DR.. Jones, leader
of the gang, drew straws to see
which should kill Charley Moore,
the Mammoth Spring gambler
who was afterwards assassinated.
Davis was to have been tried in
the Fulton county circuit court
last week for first degree murder.
After making a confession he was
permitted to plead guilty to mur.
der in the second degree and sem
fenced to twenty-one years in
the penitentiary.
A Chillicothe man made a re-
markable discovery a short time
ago. He returned home unex-
pectedly on a midnight train and
went to his home and retired to
rest. Soon his wife became seri-
ously i'll and sent him down town
after medicine. When he put his
hand into his pants pocket to get
the change for the medicine he
found therein four or five $40 gold
pieces. Astonished at finding
such a gold mine, he was still
more astonished ny the revelation
that he had on another mans
pants. He is still looking for the
owner OF the pants. The mean
things-the pants, Of course-not
the men.

When a man has held Office for sew
en- and one-half years, and still wants
more office, 1t Is proper to ask what
use he has made Of his term OF power.
What he thinks. talks. wishes or hopes
does not count. He had chance to
do. What did he do7
Mr.. Roosevelt, vas president for al
most two full terms. What did he DO
that another terri should be given to
him In violation Of the nations trsdi-
tlon against third terms?
He protected his friends who own
the Sugar trust from prosecution,
while that trust was stealing millions
of dollars from the government oy
means Of loaded scales.
He ran up the expenses OF admins
tration to double what they had been
a few years before.
He brought on a panic which caus-
ed hundreds of thousands Of working
men to be out Of employment for
months and spread ruin and bank
ruptcy all over the country.
He permitted the Steel trust. In d.
rect violation Of law. to buy up its
only important competitor.
He tried to revive the alien and Sc
ditlon laws to abolish q free press snd
free speech.
He allowed the infamous tarin rob
berry to continue, not only unchecked
but unchallenged through bis entire
term.
His most intimate friends and his
most trusted advisers were standpet-

interesting incident in the life OF
Wright's father, johnson Wright,
an eccentric resident of Randolph
county. The father, many years
ago, fled an instrument with the
recorder of Randolph county
deciding his farm and his other
property to Jesus Christ, the
Savior. After executing the deed
he stubbornly refused to pay taxes
on the property, on the ground
that it belonged to the Lord and
no one had a right to tax it.
County officials finally appealed
to the three sons of the farmer
and told them that while the
county had no grievance with the
Lord and wasn't seeking trouble
with anyone else, the property
would be sold under execution il
someone didn't pay the taxes.
The sons did, Of course.
