From f. p. Hilburn.

DEAR BROTHER AKE-On the front
page of the weekly Commercial APP
peal" of Memphis found these glow
ing headlines:
Bumper Crop in Spite of Setbacks!
United States Most Successful Year
of Husbandryl Over Six Million
Farmers! Lower Cost of Living will
not Result! Middlemen in Control!
Department makes public discussion
on subject of agriculture marketing
problem will have to be solved by or
ganization and improved methods"
Cold blooded and brutally frank as
the above seems to be, one paragraph
in the article capped the climax:
"However desirable increased pro-
duction on farms may appear to be
from the consumers' standpoint, it
does not follow that such increased
production would result in any in
crease of the cash income per farm or
per- capita of farm population, or that
prices paid by consumers would be
any lower" says the report.
And there you have it! Big crops
don't yield the farmer any more nor
make the cost of living lower.
Now just about year ago, in most
eloquent language flow you heard Of
"Tariff! Tariff Tariff" Tariff the
cause Of every woe. And Wilson
brough the tariff low; and now, deal
friends, that we may know just what
he thinks, let's hear from him. The
tariff bill was meant to remove those
impediments to American industry ant
prosperity that had SO long stood Ii
their way. 1t was a great piece o.
i preparation for the achievements o
American commerce and American
industry which are certain to follow
Then there came upon the heel OF i
which furnishes the machinery fol
; free and elastic and uncontrolled
credits, put at the disposal OF tht
merchants and manufacturers Of thi
country, for the first time in fifty
year.
Comment on these things is unnec'
essary to, one who can read between
the lines.
The merchante are given instan

the piece and had him fined $500. In
the meantime the saloon keeper swore
out warrant for assault with intent
to kill. The justice ordered the pris-
oner to jail ''until tomorrow" Three
of the marshals started to take him
to iail. Sam said that he would never
go to Jail. After they got outside the of
office, he got another pocket knife
out of his vest pocket and cut John
Ragland from the knee to the hip,
laying the flesh open to the bone all
the way. Ragland put his pistol to
the right side of Hildebrand's head
behind the ear, killing him instantly
thus ending the career of one of most
desperate men that this country ever
saw. An inquest was held and hewas
buried as an unknown man the next
day. A full account of which was in
the St. Louis Republic the next morn
ing. The writer of this article was
then on the st. Louis police force.
Reading the article in the paper, he
showed it to another policeman by
the name of Dennis O'Leary, who had
grown up from boyhood with Hide
brand. We at once agreed that it
must be Sam Hildebrand. We took the
paper and at once went to our chief
and told him what we thought. He
sent us to Pinkneyville to identify
him, advising the authorities at
Pinkneyville by wire who he thought
it was, and that two officers were on
the road then to identify him. When
we arrived there they had dug him up
and had the body in the coffin up stairs
in the circuit courtroom. With the head
of the coffin leaning against the judges
stand, the foot resting on the floor,
and the lid off, SO that any one coming
into the court room could distinguish
his features plainly. We at once
recognized him, but for further iden-
tification had him stripped and found
the wound in his thigh where Peter
son had shot him and also the wound
in the left ankle where he had been
shot in the war. The wound across
the forehead where he was shot at
the battle at Williams house was
still very plain. We then went to the
house where the children were, who
knew both Of us very we'll, but we
had hard work making them own it
up. Hildebrand's body was shipped
to Pennington, and was hauled from
there to graveyard near John Will
liams' and buried. And the children
we're distributed around among
relatives. Ragland collected about
$1500.00 of the reward. At one time
there was reward of about $4,000
for Hildebrand's capture or death
but at the time of his killing could not
be collected. John Ragland is now
dead, but he was never able to GO
without crutches after Hildebrand cut
him. And thus ends the story.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear,
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed condi,
ton of the mucous lining of the Eusta.
chan Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a runbling sound or Imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed.
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
fammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition.
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case OF
Deafness Caused by catarrh that be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

CITY TAXES.

A large number of persons are still
delinquent in the payment of their
city taxes for the year 1918. This is
due and formal notice to all such
persons thatif they do not come for

liable to extra costs. You had better
hurry unless you want to pay the
penalty. II. w. ADoLPF,

The quantity of iron ore mined in
the United States in 1918 is estimated
by E. F. Burchard, of the United
States Geological Survey, to have
been between $4,000, 900 and 1000, 900
long tons. This estimate is based on
preliminary reports from 25 Of the
largest IRON mining companies, which
represent the principal iron produc-
ing districts and whose combined out
put is about 81 per cent of the total
iron ore mined in 1912.
The average increase in output shown
by these 25 companies was per cent
over that for 1912, and if this increase
should be maintained by all the iron
companies in the United States the
total output OF iron ore for 1918
should reach 59,500,000 long tons. At
any rate, it appears almost certain
that the former high record of iron ore
mined, 57,014,O96 long tons in 1910,
has been surpassed in 1918. The re-
ports received for 1913 showed con-
siderable variation in the percentage
of changes in output compared with
1919, the maximum rarge being from
decrease of 36 per cent. to 56 per
cent. These apparently wide vari-
ations were evidently due to, condi-
tions affecting particular companies
rather than to general or even local
conditions of the IRON mining in
dustry; moreover, they concerned,
for the most part, the operations of
companies whose production is not
sufficiently great to affect largely the
grand total tonnage.
In the Lake Superior district, where
about 85 per cent of the domestic iron
ore is mined, the increase in produc-
ton corresponded closely with that
for the United States in general, or
about per cent, thus indicating a
total production for that district of
about $4,000, 900 long tons, compared
with 46,36S, 1878 tons in 1912. The year
1918 is therefore record year for
production and shipments in this dis
trict also. The preliminary figures
indicate that the shipments of Lake
Superior ore by water will exceed
49,000,0 900 long tons, which, together
with the all-rail shipments of more
than 100000 tons, brings the figures
for total shipments of lake ore very
close to the tonnage of ore mined and
indicates that not much change has
occurred in the stocks of ore at the
mines in the lake district. These
stocks amounted at the close of 1912
to about $500, 900 longs of ore.
In the Birmingham district, Ala
bama, the production of iron ore in
1918 as indicated by the preliminary
returns was about 10 per cent greater
than for 1912. In Tennessee there
was apparently slight decrease anG
in North Carlonia slight increase
New Jersey and New York both show
ed slight increases, while Pennsylvania
showed slight decrease. In the
Rocky Mountain district of Wyoming
Colorado, and New Mexico there wal
slight decrease.
The types of iron ore produced
commercially consist of red ant
: specular hematite, brown ore
|. magnetic, and siderite, or spathit
1 ore. Hematite constitutes about 81
per cent of the output. Only very
small fraction of per cent of the out
: put is siderite, the production o
brown ore and magnetic togethe
constituting nearly 10 per cent of th,
. total.
