MINNESOTA LEADS
IN YIELD OF CROPS
Makes Heavy Increase in Pro-
duGiiOn Of Corn.

Minnesotas crop yield for 1913
leads the nation and Minnesota as a
corn state stands at the top of the
list, according to figures issued by
the department Of agriculture at
Washington.
Minnesota and Wisconsin lead in
the average yield of corn to the acre,
with Minnesota far in advance of the
Badger state in point of acreage and
total yield, and difference in the
average yield an acre of only one-half
bushel iowa and Illinois, long known
as the champion corn states Of the ma
ton, have fallen far behind Mime
sofa this year, and the states gain,
while in part anticipated by crop ex-
Derts; is a surprise even to the most
optimistic The total corn crop in
| Minnesota in 1913 was 78,777, 900
bushels, a gain of 16,103, 1000.
Not only in corn does Minnesota
lead. but the state stands first in total
yield of all crops, as compared with
the average yields for recent years.

BY cLARIssA MACKIE

In the shanghai club the electric
fans were humming drowsily, and Chi
nese boys stepped silently to and fro
with trays of cooling drinks.
Frank Oakley moved indoIently in
his long wicker chair as another man
sank into the seat beside him.
Hello OakIeyT said the newcomer
pleasantly, ut tne same time lifting
reckoning finger to a passing servant.
''Ah, Langham! How are you?

Frank sat up in his chair and scanned

What's the trouble now? Must be
something up or you wouldn't be here
You seem to camp on the trail Of old

his cigar case across the table.
Something is up Can you spare
time to be in on it? I've got to have

has a bungalow on the peak"
Frank biushed hOtly. "Oh. know
her." he mumbled
Langham's face was blank He did
not want Frank Oakley to know
that he had guessed that the Ameri-
can was in love with the handsome
EnglishwCnan or that in her refusal
to marry Frank had been found a mo
tive for a jewel robbery at her bunga-
low. If he was going to trail Oakley
it would be in his own way.
'fWeII, Mrs. DesbrOw has lost a val
liable gem from her collection It's
one that her husband bought from a
south China mandarin, a pure and
priceless emerald that once formed an
eye in the forehead of a statue of
Buddha. She has worn the emerald as
a pendant, and week ago last night
1t disappeared from the strong box in
her bedroom"

at his companion, but Langham's face

your search. What can | do?" asked
Oakley after awhile
''I've got to go over into the native

That's true"
"Let us begin the first thing in the

"Why?" asked the other skeptically.
"Oh, just knowledge of the Asiatic

and Langham was the more convinced
that the American was concerned il

Alexander Foss, president OF In
dustriforening in Denmark, has
striking article in the American
Scandinavian Review for Noyembe,
entitled Industrial Denmark" The
writer traces the development of Den
mark from an agricultural to man
ufacturing country and points out that
the growth Of population makes such a
change inevitable. "Denmark's lead
ing occupation is still today, as it was
! IN 1870, agricultural; but i'm SO near
q future as 1925 our manufactures will
employ as many as agriculture and
after 1925 manufacture will be in the
| ascendancy. So much for terms of
| population. In terms of money, a
| careful comparison OF the assembled
products of Danish agriculture and
Danish industry in 1911 reveals a to-
tai for agriculture of 860,00O,G00
crowns; for manufactures 558,OO0,O09
crowns. But these figures do not
do full justice to manufacturing
| The largest single item Of agricui-
ture is butter, the sales Of which
reach 23S000,000 crowns annually
Butter, like sugar, is really an indus
trial product, turned out by 1,164
Danish butter factories, in which
human energy is almost dispensed
with, nearly everything being ac-
complished by harnessed forces of ma
ture with the help Of delicate appar-
atus, perfected to the minutest de.
tail The industrialization OF agricut-
ture is advancing steadily; the actual
products Of the field are delivered to
the animal, and the animal products
to the factory The possibilities fol-
new lines Of manufacture in Denmark
are infinite, despite the frequent as
sertiOns that good chances are all
taken and that we cannot compete
with the great Industrial countries
abroad Many OF the Danish indus
tries already developed owe their ex,
istence to the last generation. Now,
when we have q porcelain industry OF
the first rank, the accomplished fact
appears quite natural, but in advance
it would have appeared almost impOs
sible that such results could be

Son fxcelI Father

There were numerous illustra tions at the Shreveport State Fair showing the advantage of the new order over the old. but none more striking than the case of the father and son with the pigs. Each one carried pig to the fair, the pigs were of the same age and breeding from the same litter. The fath r fed his pig and attended to it ac- cording to his long accustomed method. The son adopted the plan followed by the boys clubs. When weighed by the committee of judges the sons weighed little oyer 800 pounds, and the fathers S 165 pounds. They were exhibited in separate pens. but right by the side of each other. and the contrast was indeed amusing. It looks like the father will be forced to give away to the son in some part ulars or else drop out of the race. Ho- mer Guardian Journal.

Unusual Scenes Shown in Page of, Pictures
 in Ihis Issue of the News.

There is an unusual feature in the News this week and 1t is doubt less useless to call the attention of our readers to it. for probably dis cover 1t as soon as they opened their papers, We refer to the page of Mexican war pictures which will be found in this issue.
 The methods of warfare in Mex leo are so peculiar that war cores pondents and photographers have found it almost impossible to get reliable news or pictures of the battles that have been fought. Some unusually daring photogra- phers, however. secured the pictures which we are printing this week. We secured the exclusive right to use these photographs in our territory. believing that they  would be of unusual interest to our readers.
 The reports which have come from the Mexican battle6elds have told of terrible atrocities commit ted by the soldiers of both sides. Never before in a civilized country has war been carried on as 1t has in the Mexican republic during the past few months. This fact lends special interest to these pictures which gre among the few authentic photographs taken in Mexico.

Or announcement column this week contains that of A. P. Rev. holds as candidate for the nomination of County and Probate Clerk subject to the action of the Democratic voters in the March primary.
 MT. Reynolds is a native of this county and was reared on farm. He spent his youth in the public schools of the county and the Fl Dorado high school until prepared for college. He was a student in Hendrix college. one of the best in the south, for four years graduating in 9O3.
 After leaving school he taught in the public schoo of the county for ten years and was for two years bookkeeper in his fathers store at El Dorado. For the past two years he has had charge of the govern ment demonstration work among the farmers of the county and has done great work along that line.
 His only experience in politics was four years 0 when he was a candidate for this same office be- ing defeated by J. M. Mccain who is not a candidate for reelection. He is well qualified in every way to make an efficient clerk and solieits your support on his own qualifications and will at all times endeavor to merit 1t. Don't over look his claims when deciding who to support for this office.

Jim Dumas for County treasurer.

Your attention is directed to the announcement of Jim Dumas, of Norphlet, as a candidate fer the nomination of County Treasurer subject to the will of the Demo- cratic voters at the Spring primary.
 Mir Dumas is native of Union county, having been born and reared on farm. but had the necessary ambition to secure a good education by attending Ouaehita college at Philadelphia for five years, making record any young man could well be proud of.
 After leaving school he remained on the farm and applied his know lege in scientific way for the up- building of the agricultural resour- ces of the community and county. His moral character is above reproach and he has the necessary education and other qualifications needed to make ] capable official. His family connections are large and represents the highest class of citizenship but he is the first one to ask for county office from the hands of the party to which they have always been loyal.
 He solcits your support for this office on his own qualifications and promises to be always on hand, courteous and willing to administer the affairs connected with 1t n a business manner. Consider his claims before you cast your vote.
