 The young man named Harry was wondering how they were to proceed. He had already studied the region with dismay, when the girl resolved:
 We'll have to take another taxi Harry"
 Yes, Marjorie, but we can't take it till We get it."

 It's the longest short cut l ever saw the young man sighed, as he gazed this way and that.
 The place of their shipwreck was so deserted that not even a crowd had gathered. The racket of the collision had not brought a single policeman. They were in a dead world of granite warehouses, wholesale stores and fac tories, all locked and forbidding, and full of silent gloom.

 The three castaways stared every which way, and every which way was peace. The ghost of a pedestrian or two hurried by in the far distance. A cat or two went furtively in search of warfare or romance. The lamp posts stretched on and on in both d. rections in two forevers.
 In the faraway there was muf- fled rumble and the faint clang of a bell. Somewhere a street car was pumping along its rails.
 Our only hope" said Harry. Come along, Marjorie"
 He handed the chauffeur five dollars as a poultice to his wounds. tucked the girl under one arm and the dog basket under the other, and set out, calling back to the chauffeur:
 Good night!"
 Good night" the girl called back.
 Good night" the chauffeur echoed. He stood watching them with the ten der gaze that even a chauffeur may feel for young love hastening to a honeymoon.
 He stood beaming so, till their foot steps died in the silence Then he turned back to the chaotic remnants of his machine. He worked at it hope lessly for some time, before he h. reason to look within. There

Nebraska's corn crop in 1911 was
worth more than all the gold mined
in the United States and Alaska.
The corn belt is moving north by
seed selection. The farm price of
corn reached $1,70O,OO0,OOO and
broke the record. The production
was 2,776,OO0,0OO.
The Southern boy is in the lead,
showing the way to grow more of all
crops on one acre. Risking all on
one crop is a costly practice. The
Boys Corn Clubs have grown from
a membership of 10,543 in 1909 to
50, 900 in 1911.
In twelve Southern states the fed
eral department of agriculture main
tanned 10000 demonstration farms
during 1909-1910, which were visit
ed by more than a million farmers.
Many of the counties have a field
agent practical farmer, who trav-
els from farm to farm supervising
the actual tillage of the soil. In Ala
bama every county has such an
agent.
Professor Mccall of the Ohio State
University says that the money spent
on the United States navy in one
year would put a crop expert in every
county in the United States at sal
airy of $4,000 per year, and with the
increased wealth from this we could
well afford to run the risk of being
defeated in naval conflict.
James J. Hill of the Great North
ern railroad claims that our annual
soil production of $40, OO0,0O0,OOO
can be doubled and possibly quadru-
pied without any extra cost of labor
by scientific farm methods There is
great promise in the fact that whole
classes of graduates of agricultural
schools go back to the farms, having
learned how to make them profita-
BILE.
Alaska will some day provide
farmers in lower ATTITUDES with grain
seeds superior to what they can grow
at home.
After years of experiment we find
we can grow Egyptian cotton in
southern California.
The finest dates from the Sahara
desert succeed in our Southwest.
100000 is the best estimate
of poultry products for 1911.
Our foresterS are learning how to
reforest 10000 acres a year; 10
times as much as must be planted
annually to cover all the bare acres.
1t will be done.
The 1911 crops were worth more
than those for 1910, the estimate of

their farm value being $5,5O4,OOO,-
600, a gain of $44,0OO,000 over
1911.
The cotton crop was worth $775,-
100000.
The buckwheat crop has been ex-
ceeded in production by only two
crops since the sixties, and the value
by no year since that decade
Rice was above the five-year aver
age The amount was over 1,000,-
100000 pounds, and has been ex-
ceeded only twice in the past With
out rice China would be in an end
less famine. We shall come to use
rice more and more in this country.
1t is a wonderfully nourishing food
and can be made appetizing in hun
dreds of ways.
When the cattle fever tick is de-
stroyed in the Southern states the
country will get much more meat
from that section, and the production
of it will build up the farms there.
The potato crop of 100000
bushels is worth 100000, the
highest on record.
The wheat crop is fourth in value,
at $600,OOO,0tJ.
Oats totaled $3.50, 100000, per
cent more than the five-year average.
The sugar beet crop, which for
several years remained close to $780,
100000 in value, has risen to more
than S24,00O,000 in 1911, an IN
crease of 231a per cent above the
five-year average.
Cane sugar production in 1911
had a value of $45, 100000, So per
cent over the five-year average.
The tobacco crop was 100000 200
pounds, only 2 per cent under the
five-year average. 1t was worth
SIS, 100000, or 5.3 per cent under
the five-year average.
The production of fiaxseed in 1911
has been exceeded before, but the
total value has never been equaled.
The crop of 100000 bushels had
a farm value of about $47,000,0OO.
Losses by floods during 1911 were
$7,700,000, of which more than
three-fourths fell upon the farmers.
The value of property saved through
warnings from the weather bureau
is estimated at S1,O47,000.
Old records found in Lynn county,
Kansas, show that in 1887 COWS sold
at 81 to $40; hogs $1.25 to $3.50;
eggs cents a dozen; deer hams 25
cents apiece; labor was paid Is cents
day.
Fade away, calamity howlers! This
country was prosperous in 1911, and
it is going to be more prosperous
in 1912.

Pittsburg to his sons, he already

pears to be extremely generous on
his part. The thought that naturally
crops out in connection with these
enormous gifts is that Mr.. Phipps'
children will eventually get his
wealth anyway, and that they might
as well have a part of it now so they
can get some satisfaction from it be-
fore reaching time of life when the
world will present fewer attractions
to them.
The gift of $1O,OOO,OOO by no
means impoverished Mr.. Phipps.
The very general belief is that he
has many more millions in reserve.
much of which will go to his daugh-
tiers.
1t is probable, however, that Mr..
Phipps' purpose in dividing his
wealth among his children at this
time isn't so much to let them enjoy
it while they still have health and
are comparatively young, but to
avoid the inheritance tax, which is
a quite burdensome one in PennsyI-
Vanla, as it is in New York.

FINDS $4,000 IN OLD HOUSE.
New Jersey Man Is Glad He Fixed
an Ancient Fireplace.

Borden Jeffrey of Deal Lake, N. =,
is SIS, 900 richer today as the result
of spending few dollars in repair
ing an ancient fireplace in an old
colonial homestead which he pur-
chased recently. Workmen while
fixing the fireplace turned up cache
which contained an oak chest full of
gold and silver coins. Their value,
it is said, is in the neighborhood of
SIS, 900.
There has long been belief that
there is much treasure buried in this
section of Asbury Park. In the early
days Deal Lake was shipbuilding
center, vessels at that time being
able to sail from the lake out to sea-.
A changing coast formation and di-
version of industry to other more
favorable harbors closed the ship
building industry. The homestead
is one of the country's historic rel
les. The house has had so many
tenants it is impossible to trace the
ownership of the chest of silver.
