GRAND JURIES ARE
EXPENSIVE LUXURIES;
GENERALLY fRUITLESS

Several persons are circulating
petitions asking Judge Huston to call
a session of the grand jury for this
county. Grand juries are expensive.
There is nothing that a grand jury
can accomplish that the county at
torney can not supply by the method
Of information. If any one has evi-
dence that is sufficient to convict for
violation OF law let that person or
persons produce the evidence and
County Attorney John Adams Will
promptly begin action. The trouble
is. some people like to start things
and then hide out and let the other
fellow supply the evidence" said a
prominent tax payer today.
One setting of a grand jury in
Oklahoma City cost the tax payers
5000 and resulted in a farce The
same thing happened at Tulsa where
a grand jury cost s21,OO0 Taxes are
high enough now without adding more
TO them.

5vOnIhI SMALLER THAN TEXAS;
St MILLION POPULATION
With 5 Million Farms and Wonder
fuI Farmers Cannot Raise ENOUGH
FOOdstuff For People

Washington, ID. c.. Nov. 23.-Some
of the salient facts of Germany's re-
markable growth and development IN
recent years are contained in a state
ment given to the press today by Gill
bert II. Grosyenor, director and edi
tor of the National Geographic
Society, Of Washington. The state
ment is as follows:
only Belgium, Holland, Japan and
the United Kingdom have denser
populations than Germany. That
country manages to crowd a popula-
ton Of CT 100000 people into a terri
tory so small that you could add
New England to it and still have an
area smaller than the state of Texas.
Possessing only one-fifteenth of
the area of Europe, Germany pro-
duces one-seventh of Europes wheat,
one-fifth of its oats, one-fourth of
its rye, and one-third of its potatoes.
'The average farm in Germany is
very small. Out of total of 5,756 900
farms nearly one-half are smaller
than 1-2 acres, and less than 7OO,-
900 are larger than rs acres. OF our
own 5,737, 900 farms more than three
fifths contain upward of fifty acres.
"The Germans use more commercial
fertilizer than any other three ma
tons on earth and yet, with all the
coaxing resulting from intensive
farming and small farms, Germany is
not able, in ordinary times, to pro-
duce enough foodstuff to meet the
demands OF its people 1t imported
farm produce to the value of quarr-
ter of billion dollars more than It
exported during a recent year, and
groceries and confections to the
amount of $4,000 900 above the ex-
ports of those commodities. The
balance OF raw materials was $780,
600 900 against the empire.
In the past quarter of a century
no other nation made such a wonder
ful bid for foreign trade as Germany.
While the trade of the United States
increased 275 per cent in that time
and Great Britains increased 100 per
cent Germany's increased 300 per
cent. The secret of this success lies
in the efforts to meet every condition
Of every market into which German
goods went Germany's merchant
marine in 25 years rose from a
negligible quantity to 1850 ships,
with a net register tonnage of g.
$4,000 tons and employing 5000
sailors.
