Gear SIR:
The writer wishes to thank
you very kindly for the copy of
the Iron County Record. The
publishers of this paper deserve
great credit in getting out an
issue of this volume. | looked
through the paper with much
interest and among the items l

the extremely hard work it was
to get out this Christmas issue.
fcdn appreciate what this meanst
where printing Offices in the
small towns have no facilities for
enlarging their regular issue as
worked on a small paper myself !
at one time and whenever we had
to get out an extra size paper it
caused a great deal of inconveni-
.ence and hard work to do so.
The publishers of this paper are
certainly entitled to a great deal
OF credit for their enterprise in
even attempting to get out this
size sheet and we believe it win
result in great good to the COM
munity. Cedar City should be
proud of having such enterpris-
ing citizens.
We trust you have enjoyed a
prosperous year land desire to
extend to you the compliments
of the season.

I81 BUSHELS OF
CORN TO ONE ACRE
Worlds Greatest Yield Made by
Georgia Boy. Figures Certified
to BY Authorities.

AUGUSTA, Ga.-The world s
greatest yield of corn for 1913 has
been made by Edward Jackson Wei
born, a boy under II years of age,
of Morgan county, in the Augusta
district.
Authenticated figures, certified to
and accepted by local, state and fed
eral authorities, definitely placed him
at the head of the corn growers OF
the nation. He made 1912 bushels
of corn on a scant acre Of land, ex-
ceeding his yield of last year approx
imately by twenty bushels.
The corn was grown on upland, on
a lot used for dairying about ten
years, and was planted in rows three
feet four inches apart, and an aver
age of five inches in the drill. The
acre contained about $4,000 stalks of
corn and, according to the authori-
ties, it averaged one and one-half
ears of corn per stalk.
Prof. j. K. Giles, assistant state
agent in charge of field work for
the state and federal departments of
agriculture, states that he is OF the
opinion that, with one more rain,
the yield would have gone to ESQ
bushels per acre.

LEGALLY DEAD; WEALTH GONE
INDIAN WHO HAD BEEN MISSING
FOR EIGHT YEARS RETURNS.
Grunts and Leaves Again When He
Learns That Property Worth
100000 Has Been Sold.

MUSCOGEE, Okla.-When John
Simpson, Choctaw Indian, returned
to his home at Soper after an alb
sence of eight years and found that
legally he was dead, and that prop
erty he owned when he left worth
100000 had been sod, all he did
was utter a grunt. That's jolt that
would make most any one do more
than grunt, but apparently that is all
John intends to do about it. 1t is all
he has done so far.
Eight years ago Simpson and Mon
roe Isehommer were two of the most
wealthy Indians in their section of
the Choctaw nation. They were in
the land business and under the con-
ditions existing at that time acquired
much land.
Simpson and Ischommer disap-
peared. Later they turned up in New
Mexico. A few years ago it was re-
ported that Simpson had died in Mex
leo without heirs.
This statement was accepted as
true, as Simpson did not return, and
provision was made for disposition
of his estate under the laws of Indian
descent. Half of the property went
to children of Simpson dead mother
by a former marriage, and the re-
mainder was sold through the court,
with the approval of the district In
dian agent. And John Simpson was
forgotten.
The other day Simpson showed up
in Soper as one returned from the
dead. He just gave one grunt when
a friend told him what had happen
ed. Then he left town again. He
did not say where he was going or
when he was coming back.
Included in the property Simpson
owned and which was sold is 10
acres adjoining Hugo, 100 acres adj
joining the town of Soper, and
large tract adjoining the townsite Of
futile.

FARMERS CAN'T GET

WASHINGTON.-Chas. j. Brand,

The president of the bank, while ex-
pressing interest and anxiety to as
sist, stated that no money was avail
able for this loan; that they had al
ready had 100000 out on cotton,
all of which was loaned to local cot

tributed for crop moving and that so

Business and professional men are

France is a furious battle-ground.
On one side stand the vast interests,
financial, political and social, of the
wine, brandy and aperitif trade. On
the other stand 500 federated tenn
.perance societies, with some states
men and some soldiers, who declare
that alcohol is threatening the very
life of the nation. Prohibit absin-
the is the main slogan.
UnspeakabIe Absinthe.
French 2bsinthe, however, is
about as innocuous as a nut sundae
compared to the absinthe which the
French army of occupation in Mo
rocco uses as an aid to merriment.
A great absinthe factory sends bot
ties, labels and essence of absinthe
to Tangiers, and prepares there an
unspeakable compound. This poison
contains such a quantity of sulphuric
acid that the photographers use it
commonly to clean their plates.
In Belgium, Holland and Switzer-
land absinthe is prohibited.
The wine cup brigade has firm
grip in Spain and Portugal. Wine is
the chief beverage, although a good
deal of beer is being manufactured
in Spain. There is little drunken
ness on the peninsula.
In Italy wine is drunk as in Spain.
Absence of extensive strong drink

Beer, wine and liquor are the
drinks of Austria. The vets have
had it almost their own way, but as
an indication that the Austrian gov
eminent is giving thought to the al
cohol question is found in the recent
order to school authorities that in
struction on alcohol be given here
after to all normal school pupils.

show that the crown gets $35O,OOO,-
600 yearly from vodka sales. Vodka
is the Russian national drink, and is
taken by the poorer classes. Experts
state that it is distilled from potatoes
and cereals in such way that the
proportion of sulphuric acid to spir' t
is as nine to ten.
The Damp Balkans.
In Bulgaria and the other Balkan
states there are branches of the
Worlds Women's Christian Temper
ance Union and other temperance So
cieties, but they are working In ,pret-
ty damp territory. Wine is cheap
aud widely drunk.
The temperance people state that
the chief British colonies, next to the
United States, have made and are
making the greatest strides toward
the water wagon, as far as concrete
governmental action is concerned.
In Canada, Australia, and New Yea
land there has been much legislation
in regu1 alton of the liquor traffic. In
New Zealand the temperance anti
liquor cause has been helped by wo-
mems votes.
In India a lot of temperance work
is going on, there being several ma
tive temperance societies. Though
both Buddhism and Brahamism for
bid wine it has been estimated that
20 per cent of the native population
drinks.
In Japan there is temperance
work, while in China there have been
native temperance societies for years
at Hankow, Marking, Canton, Foo
chow, Pekin and other cities. 1t is
declared that since the war on opium
in China the Chinese seem to intend
to substitute whiskey.
In Central and South America the
territory as a whole is genuinely
wet" and there is no extended tenn
perance movement. Some rather
powerful tipples are going down
Latin-American threats. In Chile,
for instance, liquor called aguardi-
ente-burning water-is made from
potatoes and cereals, which is report
ed to have the real kick" in it.
Dead Drunk for Three Cents.
Rum made from cane is widely
drunk. 1t is stated that some years
ago, on the Brazilian seaboard, a
man could get drunk for three cents
on cane rum; existing market quo
tations for 1913 are not given.
Despite the huge annual consump-
ton of wine, beer and liquor in the
United States this country shows
more results of the Temperance move
ment in concrete legislation than
any other. Nine states are dry"
The "wets," however, when they
view the nations liquor bill, feel no
fear that the country, as a whole, is
likely to have drouth.
