Never in History of Country
Has Real Wealth From Soil
Been So Assured.
IMPORTANT DECISIONS
STIMULANT TO TRADING
Opinions by Supreme Court of the
United States Bring Activity
in Stock Market.

NEW YORK, June 27.-It Is conceded
that never before in the history of the
country has the United States faced such
a bright prospect in SO far as the crea-
ton of real wealth in the form of
products Of the soil is concerned. More
than half of the bumper wheat crop has
been harvested, and the yield surpasses.
both in quantity and quality. the most
sanguinary predictions both Of private
and official estimators. The remainder
of the crop is now being garnered, and is
now practically out of danger except
from possible storms during harvest
period. Though grain prices have con-
siderably receded in the past few days.
there is an excellent export demand for
our crops in Europe. and our farmers are
therefore assured of remunerative prices.
This applies equally well to corn and
oats and to live stock. fruits and dairy
products. and the probabilities are that
the farmers will this year receive more
real money than in any previous year,
even II prices work a little lower, which
at present Is logical conclusion.
The one doubtful element at the be-
ginning of the month was the cotton
crop situation, but ideal weather has
in recent weeks prevailed over the most
important sections of the cotton belt. and
the present indications point to a crop of
about 100000 bales. In spite of all the
unsatisfactory reports emanating from
the cotton trade, it is shown from Of
fetal reports that domestic mills have
taken 5.354, 900 bales since last September
as compared with 5, 600 bales last
year, and that the total worlds takings
are 10000 bales ahead of last season.
The cotton crop has still long road to
travel, but it has entered upon its most
trying period in excellent form. West of
the Mississippi it could stand drought
better han it did last year because the
subsoil is full of moisture.

Decisions Usher in Stock Activity.

A series of important decisions handed
Court Monday had the effect of stimu-
lating activity in the New York stock
market, Southern Pacific especially show
ing the effect of the ruling which Sc
cures to this company its title to valuable
oil lands in California. AS stock mar
ket argument the decision In favor of
Southern Pacific was not limited to the
mere effect conferred upon the railroad
The decision suggested other bullish pos
sibilities, by showing that in the Supreme
Court capital can find protection from I'M
reasonable attack and feel certain of get
ting square deal under every circum-
stance.
The long-awaited "intermountain" case
was especially welcome, in that it doubt
less removes one of the hindrances to the
rendering of the eastern ''freight-rate'
decision by the interstate commerce COM
mission. This ruling sustains the inter-
state commerce commissions orders OF
June and July, 1911. and completely re-
versed the Commerce Courts ruling.
which declared that the commission could
not make blanket or zone rates The
court first decides that the long-and-
short-haul clause of the interstate COM
merce act Is constitutional. In view of
the lower rates made necessary by water
competition the railroads before the first
decision was handed down had been max
ing inland rates for merchandise from
the east by adding to the rate to the Pa
cific coast the full local rate back from
the coast to the intermountain point
Not unnaturally, the cities in intermoun-
tain territory objected to this discrimina-
ton. The interstate commerce decision
in the main sustained their protest and
fixed upon a system of zones which were
to have Identical rates. But the rail-
roads would not agree to this and ap-
pealed to the Commerce Court, which
held that the zone plan was illegal The
Supreme Court now overrules the Com
merce Court and the net result Is that
railroads must charge the lower rates in
intermountain territory.

What is known as the twilight
sleep, or the unconscious-c conscious
ness, is attracting a good deal of at
tention in the medical work and also
in the world at large, and In articles
which have appeared In several mag
azines descriptions have been given
of the women's clinic at F'reiburg,
Germany, where IL Is said painless
childbirth has been achieved. In the
September Woman's Home Com
panion William Armstrong, in an
article entitled 1.-THE Twilight Sleep"
gives complete report of a visit to
the woman 81 cllnic at Freiburg. The
editor of the Companion suggests
that readers suspend Judgment as to
the value of the new method until
fuller investigation can be made. The
Twilight Sleep" is not yet available
In America. and will not be for con-
siderable period, even if 1t eventually
proves TO be practicable. American
obstetricians are the best In the world,
and If the new method is sound 1t will
find its way into this country.
The following extract from Mr..
Armstrong; article explains briefly
what is known of the Freiburg
method:
For centuries man has sought to
annihilate the pain of women In child
birth.
"At last, after these centuries of
effort, 1t is announced that the bless

The Six-Day Race

The second day. and four more days
to so yeti Already the long line of
participates had been drawn into a
thin, struggling list of tired and
sleepy wheelmen. Their bodies ached
from hundred and one separate sore
spots, each individual rib and bone
yearning for a little rest. At every
round of the mile ring another rider
would let his tired head rest upon
his shoulders and ride on, blind to
his path, his bemuddled brain re-
fusing to act, until suddenly awak-
ened to a sense of activity by the
realization of the distance between
his companions and himself. Then it
would be grind, grind. grind for the
rest of his term, to make up for the
place he had lost. And OF wasn't
the sight of his partner, ready for his
part of the work, welcome to the
tired rider after a day of such grind
ing! He would fling himself upon the
soft cushions, twisting all over in an
endeavor to satisfy each tired spot.
You may wonder why 1t Is at
such intense suffering, men still con-
Jinue TO enter into such activities.
Why 1t is that here Is always that
long line of hopeless competitors at
the beginning of each race? 1t is,
first Of all, on account of the more or
less glory received In the work. There
are some, of course, who enter just
for the prize, not caring whether
they get it by fair means or foul But
in an event like this there Is always
likely to be one of this kind, and so
he may be overlooked.

A LITTLE DAILY ATTENTION WILL MAKE A
COMMONPLACE HAND LOOK BEAUTIFUL

Beautiful hands are a possession
no woman can afford to despise, and
vet how few we see nowadays. Go
to an afternoon tea and notice the
hostess or the young women VINO as
sist her by pouring the fragrant bev-
erage which cheers, but not inebri-
ates. Are their hands soft and white?
Perhaps so. More likely, however,
the nails are beautifully manicured,
while the skin Is redeemed by care
less washing or exposure to the cold,
or chapped and drawn because the
owner of this particular pair OF hands
will use too hot water.
1t takes more than mere manicur-
ing to keep the hands in good con-
dltion. The skin must be treated as
we'll. This may sound a trifie com
plicated, but ii Is really very easy
Before going to bed at night rub the
outside Of the hands thoroughly with
cold cream If they are in very bad
condition use little strained honey
instead, as this is very soothing to
the skin. If II is put on while the
hands are still wet, after washing
them, 1t can be dried in as the skin is
dried, and the sickness will not
trouble you says an exchange
The hands Of many women look
dingy, and 1t seems almost impossi-
BILE to get them clean, even with fire.
quent scrubbings. If you are
troubled with this affliction use a
simple preparation composed of
glycerin, one part; rosewater, three
parts, and one-half dram Of acetic
acid. This will very quickly make the
skin look clean again and will also
remove any stains that may be on
the hands.
A famous Southern belle. who in
her day was the toast of two coun-
ties, was famed for the beauty of
her hands. An old friend once asked
how she kept them so dazzlingly
white and was told that the secret
lay in an fashioned remedy-the
powder bath. This may sound elah-
crate, but 1t Is really extremely sim
pie and does not take five minutes.
Take little cold cream. A bit about
the size of ten-cent piece will 10.
Divide 1t into two portions and put
one into the palm of each hand. Now
rub over the skin with the same mo-
ton as in washing your hands. Some
women use homemade mutton tallow
for this purpose instead of expensive
cold cream. After the cold cream run
the hands must be washed IN warm
water and mild soap. Don't use hot
water, as this will certainly dry the

Laddie wagged his tail in vast de-

Get away, Laddiei Ugh! You
mustn't do that Dorothy drew
back with a shiver. She gave Lad
die a little push, and he began to

the corner of the house, frowning.

Nipper cooked his head on one

A Boy S Pockets

The contents of boys pockets are
pretty good indication of the boys
character, and any mother who stud
les them carefully will find food for
thought in plenty.
The boy who loves nature will fill
his pockets with pebbles. shells, bark
of trees, bugs, worms, in short, with
anything that he desires to study.
One boy of my acquaintance went to
school with a; couple of snakes in his
pocket, but to his great sorrow the
reptiles shared the fate of, Mary's
lamb.
The boy with mechanical turn of
mind will be pretty apt to treasure In
his pockets a good sharp knife, six
inch rule, pencil, and some bits OF
wood, wire, and twine, says The
Mothers Magazine. He will also be
apt to have a halfsdozen queer con-
trivances, the result of his inventive
genius.
The idle, thoughtless boy will put
anything and everything into his
pockets, without regard for rhyme
or reason" Articles, wholly worth
less, will predominant.
The degenerate, and the boy who
has fallen into bad company, will
treasure cigar stubs, cigarettes and
matches, broken pipes, tobacco, bad
pictures, and bad literature oh,
mother, IL you suspect your boy of
evil search his pockets, for they will
reveal the truth.
The teachers in our great public
schools realize clearly that to know
boy one must first know his pockets.
They have made some astound ng
discoveries, some pathetic ones, and
some that were tragic, indeed

The Woman Farmer

The New York State College OF
Agriculture made a study Of all che
farms owned by women in four towns
In Tompkins county to analyze the
conditions. 1t is impossible to make
accurate reports on all phases of the
industry because of the fact that
many of the women farmers Inter
viewed rent their farms, and do not
operate them.
The women owned 9,077 acres. an
average of 104 acres each. The total
property amounted to $396.l52. The
largest farm owned by one woman
being 400 acres. The average invest
ment of those women who operate
their own farms was 1922; those
who rent, and therefore own less
stock and machinery, averaged $4,225;
the largest individual investment was
$16075.
Thrty-two of these women gave
complete records of a years bust
ness, says the Mothers Magazine.
The average farm income was S428.
This amount with garden and other
food products, house and most of the
fuel, is at least a comfortable living
income in the country.
The 409-acre farm, valued complete
at $16,075 produced a net income
of $l,774. Another of 136 acres gave
an income of s1,108 after paying all
expenses. One of 240 acres netted
the neat income of $2,155. A dairy
farm of so acres paid its owner 1908
and so 1t goes. Among women, Just
as among men, skill and good judg-
ment make big returns.
The woman farmer Is here, and she
Is here to stay, Her calling is ancient
and honorable. 1t offers independ-
ence, health and happiness. Does
anyone doubt that she will make the
utmost of such splendid opportuni-
ties?

"a Ghost Story"
Continued From Yesterday

Just about midnight he reached the
designated spot. and bending down
drove the nail into the earth. His
task accomplished he wanted to rise,
but to his horror he found himself
held down as If by an invisible hand.
To his excited brains 1t seemed that
he saw something white standing over
him, ciutching at his throat. He
tried to scream, but no sound would
come. 1t seemed to him as if the
earth had suddenly opened and al
lowed all her ghosts to go free to tor
ture him for disbelieving in them.
He seemed to feel their cod hands
on his throat, his face, everywhere.
Once more he tried to scream, but he
was overcome with terror and fell
back exhausted.
The next morning man was found
lying in the cemetery his dead face
distorted with fear, while a hug
