Descendants of the Aztec monarchs
of Mexico still live There is one in
Holland and another IN Mexico itself,
while some of the lesser kinsmen are
still drawing pensions from the Mexi-
can government on the strength of
that kinship. Direct descendants of
Montezuma live in Salamanca, repre-
sented by the Maldonado family allied
by marriage with the English house
of Lancaster. The Empress Eugene
of France claims descent from the
great MonteZuma, and, as biogra-
pher writes, "the widow of Napoleon
III is thus of greater imperial stock
than her husband, and brought to the
alliance more dignity than she ac-
ouired by it"

Oceans of Wheat.

Wall Street may be stepped in
gloom if it likes. Kansas doesn't
care. For Kansas 1874 million
bushels of wheat
One hundred and eighty-four
million bushels! The figures are
incredible. They are too big to
have meaning. The mind doesn't
get them. About all thatthe av-
erage man can grasp is that the
yield is almost exactly double the
biggest previous yield in the his
tory of the State and that was a
yield that made Kansas throw up
it's hat.
One hundred and eighty-four
million bushels! At an average
price of 65 cents a bushel that
will net the farmers of Kansas
12O million dollars.
To get the meaning of this 12O
million dollars, fall back once
more on comparisons. The Kan
sas farmers will get twice as
much money from their wheat
this year as they have averaged
for the last five years. A goodly

portion of their regular income
is doubled in a year.
The prosperity of Kansas is
going to set a new mark.
Mortgages are going to be re-
duced, money put away in the
bank for insurance against I'M
foreseen events, and improve
ments made about the farms
that will add to their productive
ness and make life richer and
more varied in a hundred ways.
Plumbing will be installed in
thousands of homes, new light
ing systems will be introduced,
better clothing and furniture
will be in demand and automo-
'biles and pianos and talking ma
chimes will be called for.
The prosperity of the farmer
will filter through to the mer-
chant and manufacturer and to
their employees. Industry and
trade in every department will
be stimulated. The money that
the sun and the rains have pulled
out of the ground will eventual
ly find its way into the pockets
of the workers and their fami-
lies all over this great South
western country.
