Banks Are Stormed.

Hundreds Of servants and women of the
laboring classes stermed the municipal
savings banks in Berlin. At one Of these
institutions in the center of the city there
was a line of 1850 people at IL o'clock.
The officials refrained from enforcing
the usual time limit for larger amounts
and this gave some reinsurance to the
public.
Similar runs on savings banks were re-
ported today from Danzig and other east
ern cities as we'll as at Saarbruecken and
Cologne.
Bankers to Protect Stock Market.
A more optimistic view prevailed on the
stock exchange here today. Some sscuri-
ties, particularly German banks. recovered
strongly. and the panicky feeling OF FRI
day and Saturday was absent.
The stock market later became un-
steady, Canadian Pacifics particularly
falling on reports from London.
Nervous depositors were noticed at
many of the savings banks Withdrawing
their deposits. All were paid without
question and this had reassurfng effect.

SNOW REALLY A BLESSING
Denver Newspaper Reioices at the Re
markable Fall of "the Beautiful
Throughout the State.

1t has been said before. Let it be
said again. The snow that you swept
from your walks, that sifted down
your collars. that got into your hair,
your eyes, your tempers, is worth a
million dollars to the agriculturists of
Colorado. To the dry farmer who
plows it into his soil it will bring re
wards in a next years bank account.
Lying in the mountains 1T will flow
down the bitches to the irrigationists
next season. On ranch, in orchard
and truck garden it means moisture
and money. To the city it means
health that always comes from sea-
sonable weather. Wade through it
with a smile on your lips, shovel it
with song in your heart, roll it into
balls and throw at your neighbor with
laugh and CHEEKY word. 1t spells
temporary inconvenience and future
prosperity-and white Christmas foI
the public tree that brought all Den
ver-all Colorado-into that new, bet
ter, greater. get-together bond Of

No Cure for Cancer Yet.

In his annual report DR.. E. F. Bash
ford. general superintendent Of re-
search in the laboratories of the i'm
perial cancer reasearch fund. told the
members Of the society that during the
past year there had been IL claims
to the discovery of a cure for cancer.
All of these had been investigated and
no Justification for any one of these
claims had been obtained. DR.. Bash
ford also said women were more liable
to cancer than men. In England and
Wales in 1910 the death rate from
cancer was S56 per 100000 for men
and 1,070 for women.
AS the London Times says editorial
ly in commenting upon this report:
THE only reasonable expectation OF
curing cancer still rests upon its com
plete removal by the surgeon at the
earliest possible time after it is dis
covered. Medical Record.

WINTERING THE LIVE STOCK
Cattle Owners Have Faith That
Prices Are to Rule High for Some
'Iime-Numbers Decreasing.

One of our neighbors put up silo
this fall and filled it with what the
dry weather left of his corn. He has
bargained to feed bunch of 100 head
of cattle for six months, says writer
in the Farmers Mail and Breeze. For
this he receives $1,000, $3.50 head a
month. This seems good price COM
pared with what we used to get in for
mer years. We wintered cattle, years
ago, for S. a head for the winter, re-
CARELESS of whether it was long or
short winter. We have heard of other
cattle being taken at $2.25 head a
month for the winter and as high as
$2.75 being paid for some.
Time will tell whether cattle will
pay out when wintered at such prices.
It will mean the cattle will have to
sell for SIS more head next spring if
they are to cover the cost of wintering
alone. In addition there is the danger
Of loss and the interest on the value
of the cattle, which will be no small
amount. But cattle owners have faith
that prices are to rule very high for
some time to come and probably they
are right. Cattle are decreasing in
number every year Missouri, alone
has almost 100000 head less than &c
years ago and in that time It's ponula
ton has increased 100000.

Relative Importance Of the Potato In
German and American Ag-


Potatoes in Germany take more
important place than they do in this
country. Though the country is much
smaller than the United States, the
area planted is 8,165, 900 acres, as COM
pared with 3,566,000 acres in here.
The average total yield is 1858, 403,-
600 bushels, or 202.5 bushels per acre,
as compared with an average annual
American yield Of 343, 587 900 bushels.
If the states Of Maine, New York.,
Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota
alone were to plant 1875 per cent. OF
their arabic land in potatoes, as Ger
many does, and secure an equivalent
yield, the produce would amount to
], 1858, $4,000 bushels, four and one-half
times our present production from the
entire country.
At the present rate of consumption
of potatoes in the United States,
which is considerably less than three
bushels per capita, the needs of the
entire country could be supplied from
any one of the states of New York,
Michigan, Wisconsin or Minnesota
and lease a surplus unused, whereas
all the states combined have several
times failed to produce enough pota-
toes to supply the domestic consump-
ton, and in such years large quanti-
ties of potatoes have been imported
from foreign countries.
Such an immense production Of po-
tatoes as is found in Germany is man
ifestly not required to feed the peo-
pie. rs matter of fact, only %
per cent. of the crop is used Tor hui
man food, while 40 per cent. is fed d.
rect to farm animals and IL per cent
| is sset aside for seed purposes. The
Germans plant over twice as many seed
| potatoes per acre as is the custom
here. or more than "a bushels. An ad
ditional portion of the surplus, In
round numbers, 100,000,00O bushels, q
little less than six per cent. of the
total crop, is made into alcohol and
used for industrial purposes, and to
replace petroleum products. Over
100000 bushels, or about four pei
cent, are made each year into starch
dextrose, and related products. This
accounts for about all except ten pei
cent. of the German crop, which it is
estimated is lost through decay.

Truck Soils Of Atlantic Coast Region.

Truck Soils of Atlantic Coast Region.
The great winter garden which sup
plies the cities of the northeastern
states with the fresh vegetables de-
manded for consumption during the
latter months of winter and those
of early spring stretches in narrow
belt along the Atlantic coast from
the vicinity of Savannah, Ga, to the
southern portion of New Jersey, &C
cording TO the department of agri-
culture.
This particular belt of territory, ia
vorably situated with respect to in
tensive vegetable production, is the
result of the concurrent existence of
a number of favoring factors In the
first place, the climatic conditions
within this belt render it's successive
portions from south to north earlier
in the date of maturity for the differ
emit crops than any other regions in
the eastern states which are located
In the same ATTITUDES. This arises
from the fact that the land area OF
the region lies at low attitudes. From
Savannah, Ca, to Camden, N. j.. along
the Atlantic coast, there are no high
lands. The coastal land areas rise
from sea level with gentle slopes, and
the vast coastal plain presents low

The streams of the region consist
chiefly of narrow. tortuous -ide-water
embayments, in whose channels the
tide rises to points removed 40 to u

CORN FODDER is VALUABLE
Greater Feeding Value is Obtained
Where Fed Early Than When Al
lowed to Stand In Shock.
fRy e. ]. MILLER.l

The best way to use corn fodder is
to cut and feed it as it ripeLs, saving
the hay and other feeds in storage for
later use. Corn fodder fed early has
greater feeding value than that which
is allowed to stand in the shock for
several weeks or months, and more of
it will be consumed by the animals.
When you go to the field for load
of corn fodder, haul out load of ma.
nure, and scatter on the ground when
the fodder is cut It is economy of
farm labor to do this, and by so doing
you are returning to the soil an
equivalent of what you are taking
from it. Late cut fodder is always
best.

AS a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func-

Importance to health, great attention

Diet is of great Importance, and the
