which had caused considerable loss
during period Of several years.

tained and filled with waste paper and
on the top was placed a receipted bin
for the proper amount A FIVE cent
stamp was required for each box, and
the G. o. d. fee was 10 cents for each
package. The next day the returns be-
gan to come in, and in nearly every
case the debtor paid the amount, sup
posing that the package contained
something of value, but, of course not
being permitted to confirm this sus-
picion before opening it.

WHEAT OUTLOOK PROMISING.
Yield Probably wal Be Greater Than
Biz Harvest Of 1912.

Dig FtdrV6St Oq kSfEs
Prosperity is indicated by the wheat
crop prospect. The present outlook for
the total yield of spring and winter
grain is that the nation will produce
as much as 1t did hast yen, when the
aggregate was estimated at 730,000,000
bushels.
Winter wheat. according to the LATEST
government report. Indicates a total
of 4S3 100000 bushels compared with
400,0O0,0OO bushels last year. Iowa is
sending flattering reports of the win
ter wheat yield. Thrashing machine re-
turns in many instances are from forty
to fifty bushels an acre. The average
yield for that state. it is now estimated
by the state weekly crop bulletin, is
about thirty bushels an acre
Compilations on the government re-
port issued some time ago show that
the spring wheat yield probably will
be 24S,000,0O0 bushels instead of 21S,-
100000 bushels. as was suggested i'm
mediately after the report became pub
lie. If these later estimates be correct
the total production of wheat in the
country will be slightly more than that
of 1912. or approximately 731,0O0.00O

Newport News Shipbuild-
ing Company's Bid of
81, ,235, 900 for New Battle
ship With Curtiss Turbine
Engines, Lowest of Pro
posals-Tonnage Will Be
$1,000.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Newport
News Shipbuilding Company's bid of
S7,235,000 for construction of the new
dreadnought Pennsylvania with Cur
tiss turbine engines was the lowest Of
all proposals opened at the navy de-
partment today.
The Pennsylvania, officially known
as No. 3S, will not only be the big
gest ship in the American navy, but
SO far as is known, will exceed in size
any warship laid down by a foreign
power up to this time. Her tonnage
will be S1,000-almost three times that
of the famous old Oregon.
This latest addition to the navy will
cost, when complete. with guns, armor
and equipment s14,173,000. While only
500 feet long the Pennsylvania will
have beam of 81 feet, almost as much
it is safe to negotiate in the Panama
canal locks. Her draft will be % feet,
s inches, which will leave open to he-
most of the great mercantile ports of
the world. A battery of 14-inch guns,
the most powerful weapons af1oat, sup
plemented by four torpedo tubes and %
five inch secondary guns will consti-
tute the ships battery.
The next lowest bidder was the Fore
River Company, of Quincy, Mass, a,
