QUEEN ALEXANDRA is 20.

London. Dec. Queen Alexandra
entered upon her seventeen year TO-
day. The occasion was marked by an
unusually large gathering OF the royal
family. The customary salutes were
iired and there was a lavish display oil
hags throughout the kingdom. Her
majesty's never waning popularity
with the general public was further
attested by the receipt of congratula-
tory messages from all parts OF the
world

BIG TOLL GOES
TO EMBEzzLERS
Head Of Burns Agency Declares
S12,000,000 Secured in 5 Yrs.

Thl. ,mbezzlers of the unitcd States
have increased their annual thers
more than Y3.OOO,0OD since 1907. and
that their activities i'm general are ON
the increase, are assertions made by
Manager Roy Kelly, Df the William j.
Burns detective agency in Detroit
I'm 1907 cmbcIzlcrs made away with
| a little more than $4,000 600. This was
increased in 1872 To- S1L4S2,O5l. auo
according to estimates ny casualty
companies and protective agencies, the
thefts 10y cmbeZzlors m 1913 will cx-
cccd the Sl2,OOoooO mark.
The increase has been gradual since
1907. In 1905 the amount was $4,000.
000. In 1909 this was Increased To $40
$4,000 and i'm 1910 10 StO.73l,oOo This
jumped to $1l,oOo,oo0 in 1871 and
thence to $lI.iS2.5I in 1872.
Banks and Trust Firms Lose.
High living. rather than the hip'.
cost of living, is given as the reason
FOR many embellishments. According
to the statistics OF tn Burns agency,
banks and trust companies have al
WAYS been the heaviest losers. lgJs
and 1910 We're bann,r years for the
back cmbczzlcrs. In 1908 the money
stolen amounted &j,933,e71, and i'm 1919
it reached sG.2G2,lS5. The other years
averaged about $4,000 600.
Public service entertainments
amounted to more than 100000 an
rually for the years between 1907 aul
1918. General business, 50 designated
by the casualty companies. suffered Ia
the extent of approximately $4,000, 600
annually between the same period. In
1911 this was increased To 100000 II
is estimated that 1919 will show APP
rroXmately similar amount of pocu-
lations.
9TH" attempts of trusted employees
to get rich quick is responsible To-
many therts" said Mr.. Kelly. 1T has
been my experience that the man who
embezales FUNDS docs il to speculate or
to invest in some pet scheme. He is
often east under spell by some mans
sudden rise to financial power and will
try To omuat" that man
Come From Good Stock.
For a time. PERHAPS, all goes well
Then comes the crash Tho federal
penitentiaries contain many cmbez-
llcrs. Seldom do they get away.
Usually the embezzlcr has a family, u
nice home and comes from q good
stock, So to speak. When he goes
wrong ne has no place to turn ro"
safety. His relatives are horror strick-
ON and viii i'm many eases turn him
ov"r to the officials, and then try -
settle the ease.
"Thc law should deal harshly with
the embezZlcr Usually his crime
wrecks an institution or business i'm
turn taking money from the pockets of
the poor. It is appalling To think tina
this class Of crime is growing i'm prac-
tice as years so by.
Seemingly education plays no part
i'm the lives Of the en- czzlcrs. The in
creasing number &C churches does noi
stem the tide and tho flow of stolen
gold goes onward"

THE PEN DEADLlER THAN THE
SWORD

Advice to Statesmen: When you
feel like writing a letter, don't. 1t is
well within the range of the doctrine
of chances that Joseph Little Bristow
wishes today that had been
at his elbow years ago to give the
foregoing advice and to insist that it
be followed. In the old melodrama the
wicked one, gazing at the letter that
he had penned long since and last
awhile, gave his villains oath that the
man who talked too much was a fool,
while the man who wrote anything
was an idiot. Mr.. Bryan talked too
much and gave Mr.. Bristow his chance
to accuse him of neglect of official
duties. Then out of the p%igenhole of
the past was produced the epistle dam
natory. The gentleman from Kansas
had once upon a time solicited over
his signature the influence which he
thought would be potent to secure him
a job in Panama for which he could
draw pay while passing his hours in
on the home prairies. The Pen

WHY NOT IN SOUTH DAKOTA

Just as there were persons WHIT
thought the last word in rapid transi
had been said when the steam loco
motive was invented, so there are peo
pie In this state today who think the
limit in farm values has been reached
with Iowa land selling at $50 to $500
per acre, says the Sioux City Tribune
But 1t hasn't.
Possibilities in farm production in
Iowa may not as yet be even fairly
estimated, nor have they been approx,
mated anywhere in America, for no
where on this side of the Atlantic is
to be see the intensive farming prac-
ticed in certain European states. Nor
have We proven the limitations of
profit from stock raising and dairying
in this country.
William Galloway, a successful man.
ufacturer and farmer at Waterloo, says
that Iowa LAND can be brought to such
a state of cultivation, with diversified
farming, that it will be worth 81, 900
to the owner.
That is a strong statement, but Mr..
Galloway says he has the figures to
prove that some Iowa land now is
worth that much. He is making one
of his farms pay him Z per cent on
$1,000 valuation per acre. But of
course he is not relying upon the land
alone to produce such profit. His
hobby Is the dairy COW, and there Is
no monopoly attached to that hobby.
Other farmers may engage in dairying,
and many of them do.
There are Iowa farm boys attend.

Ames who in a few years will prove
that good acres in Iowa may be made
to yield a hansome profit on a valua.
ton in excess of 5000. They will do
1t by combining scientific knowledge
with practical experience.
They will put the same labor Cd sc !
acres which many old-time farmers
devoted to 100 acres and produce bet
ter results.
