POPULATION GROWING FASTER
 THAN FARM PRODUCTS.

CF'rOm the Philadelphia L.edger)
 American crops do not keep pace with the growth of American popuIa- tion. In twelve years the number of people to be led has risen 10000, 900 but the wheat harvest of 1913 exceeds that of 1901 by only 6,OOO,O ,OOO bushels.
 Wheat acreage is now no greater than it was a dozen years ago This years corn crop, while falling below the banner yied if 1912 by one fourth, still compares favorably with the crop of q decade ago.
 But the total output of the farms, measured by bushels or tons, is now much less per capita than it was years ago. Farm methods are improving but they have not yet improved enough to swell greatly the volume of the har- vests.
 Agricultural products grow more val uabIe, because the quantity raised for each person steadily declines. So when it comes to measuring in dollars the value of what was brought out of American farms this year, the total may rival that of last year, which broke all preceding records.
 What the country desires, however. IS not dearer crops, but greater ones. 1t wants more bushels and more tons and not higher quotations
 American energy can be expended to no better purpose than to encourage good farming, because here lies one secret of the high cost of lving-the failure of American farms to produce as much per capita as they once did From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

THE DRINK.

The night was as black as dungeon, It was a. m., I think. When rose the queen of the household, Insistently calling 'Dink." I crept from my bed in the darkness And stumbled against the door, Upsetting chairs in the journey And spilIing things on the floor. Amid groans and ejaculations l finally made a light; Enthroned in her crib she waited, And cuddled her dolly tight Tken I offered the water to her, But shaking her tousled head, She held out her battered treasure "Dus dolly wants dink!" sine said.

PREFERS TO CURSE IN GAELIC

A Highland friend of mine disdains the use of strong language in Eng fish on the ground that it is alto Sether too feeble. When strongly moved he expresses himself in mouth lllllnS curses in Gaelic, the only really satisfying language, he tells me, Tor any exercises in commination It sounds blood curdling enough. but be- ing unintelligible to the great bulk ot the community relieves him from any charge of using profane express sions. And he tells me, too though nave to take his word for iD, that there IS even kind of fiery poetry IT, the depth and quality of the in NectiVes. It is a coincidence that the country which gave birth to the game ot golf should also have provided the language in which the golfers VeXat1ons can be adequately ex- presGed-London Chronicle

RECEIVED LETTER FROM
 DEVELOP MEhT CO.
International Development Go. of San
 Francisco Wants to Know.

Secretary Irwin, of the Mesa Com mercial club received a letter from the International Development company of San Francisco asking for all particu- lars regarding land around Mesa G. w. Williams their representative states that they want eight or ten thousand acres of land which is suitable for raising cotton and ramie. They intend, however, to make a speciality of raising ramie, which is one of the most dur able of vegetable fibles. It is stronger than hemp and almost equals silk in finenesS and lustre. The fible is high ly valued for making cOrdage, nets, var ious fabrics and paper which is es- pecially esteemed for banknOtes mak- ing. The plant requires a hot, moist, equable climate and a rich damp soil. It is prOpOgated by seeds, cuttings, lay CTS and division When the leaves can be readily stripped off, the stems are harvested and the fibles removed by machinery, or either before or after boiling in chemicals. The crop can be raised to some extent in the southern states, but the cost of production is too high to the successful establishment of the industry, and We have always re- lied upon foreign fields for our supply. It is thought that it can be successfully grown in the Salt River valley.

 Just where the remainder of the plunder is has not yet been ascer- tained. The opinion is that most of it has been carted out of the coun- try, probably to Tucson, by friends who have disposed of it there through the usual means. One or two articles have been traded off to residents of the valley.

TERRIBLE INDIGNANTLY.

One of the most inhuman acts that
which was uncovered by the finding OF
the body of horse attached to a car
rage in a secluded spot in Marlboro,
Mass, the horse having literally starved
to death as it stood and then lay, Sc
eurely hitched by means of halter and
the reins OF its harness. As the horse
disappeared from barn, where it had
been temporarily placed, one night last
August, it is supposed that the animal
was hitched where its body was found
Immediately after that time. The ami
NAL was nothing but pack of skin and
bones, having had its life slowly TAX
en- away by starvation, being unable to
get away from the double hitch of hal
ter and reins. Whether the act of the
being who leashed the horse thus doubiy
and in secluded place was the result
of heedlessness or design is not, of
course, known; but one ventures the
opinion that no person in his right
senses would deliberately plan to sub
ject an animal to such torture as that
horse was subjected to, One incIines
to believe that the perpetrator of the
act, frightened by fear of discovery for
having taken the horse from the barn
where it was left by the rightful pos
SCISSOR, decided to drive the animal to
the place, there to tie it up, expecting
that discovery would be made shortly
and that the beast would be returned
to its owner. However, there is work
for the s. C. p. A., as well as for the
prosecuting officers of the district in
which the inhuman act was done.

time; but it hardly seems likely that
any community will be willing to give
such considerable sum of money for
the slight returns which are in pros
pect. Were the aeroplane novelty in
Vermont a proposition of that nature
might be looked upon with more favor;
but the aeroplane is not novelty it

aviator's fall from dizzy heights has
been afforded, while many other people
of Vermont have seen collections of aero.

far less, for the chance to see this avia-

WILLIAM sULzER, EX-GOVERNOR

WILLIAM SULZER, EX-GOVERNOR.
The picture of William Sulzer was
not drawn any worse BY the vote OF
the court of impeachment which found
him guilty on three counts OF the
charge; the picture had been portrayed
in the public mind in all its brutal fidel-
ity to details The vote of the impeach-
ment court was. in effect, merely a
formal action of confirmation. The
great court of the people of the world
who had followed the intricaeies of this
movement to GUST the chief executive
of the greatest state OF the United
States had been forced to the conviction
that in William Sulzer the choice Of gov
ernor had not been well made, that
New York had made mistake in ele-
waiting such man to the position Of
proud pre-eminence. That is the most
charitable way of looking at nauscous
mess. The result ought to 90 far. to-
ward eliminating that kind of man
from the politics of the country. If
so, the spite genesis of the movement
may in part justify itself.
