NO FLIES ON MINNESOTA

n Minnesota is one of the younger
MI states and not half developed as
AVA yet. She produces many other
things in great abundance but in these
things she greatly excells.
Minnesota raises one-fifth Of all the
spring wheat grown in the United States
She raises one-sixth of all the barley and
flax grown in this country She raises
one-eighth of all the rye and one-eleventh
of all the oats grown in the country. She
raises one-thirteenth of all the potatoes
and one-twentieth of all the hay grown in
the country Averaging these up it ap-
pears that Minnesota raises one eighth OF
all the spring wheat, oats, barley, rye, flax,
potatoes and hay raised in the United
States and her agricultural interests are
only half developed as yet.
Minnesota has raised 0per cent more
oats this year than last. The figures are
approximately 85,120,000 bushels last year
and 27,O00000 bushels this year. Of
wheat, mostly spring wheat, she raised
1885, 900 bushels last year and approx
mately 100000 bushels this year, or II
per cent increase. In fact on almost ev-
cry crop except corn she has made SPLEEN
did gain and on that she will probably get
half crop or more. No wonder farmers
from other states are looking this way

OFFICIALS WITHOUT BLAME.

Milledgeville, Ga, Aug. 1S.-Prison
officials here are held to be without
blame for the situation arising from
the taking of Frank from the princl-
pal state penal institution by mob
numbering about twenty-five men, in
a statement given out by R. E. David
son, chairman of the state prison COM
mission. Mr. Davidson, with the other
two members of the body, Commits
sioners Rainey and Patterson, were
here to inspect the penitentiary when
Frank was taken away
Mr.. Davidson is accredited with the
statement that as the mob worked so
quickly and was Sc. we'll organized and
Immediately upon its arrival at the
prison so completely controlled the
situation that mo responsibility rest
ed upon either the commission or any
body at the farm"
Some comment was heard here to-
day as to why the mob had to deal
with only five men-the warden, the
superintendent, two guards and a
"trusty" in charge at a gate.
That Warden J. T. Smith and Super
intendent J. NJ. Burke were pOwerless
with facilities they had at hand when
the mob arrived is not questioned
here. Burke says the mob completed
| it's work in five minutes; Smith says
five or six minutes.
| First, all wires were cut at the prIs
on. Then Warden Smith was made
prisoner by a part of the mob while
another squad handcuffed Burke and
led him to the gate they wished tC
enter. A command to the ''trusty' tC
open the gate was demurred to but
threat to kill him if it was not opened
Immediately gave the mob easy ac
cess to the inside. AS the gate wa:
opened a guard came up. He was
Ioverpowered Another guard was en-
countered but was soon at the mere!

five men, according to most reports

City Barber Shop BootbIack This
, Time Slaps Jaws of LADY Frien'."

Chappie Pickens, who narrowly es-
capped a heavy fine for gaming and
for trespassing at the City Barber
Shop Sunday night, was in police
court again this morning, this time
charged with assault and battery on
Jennie Hines, the girl of his choice.
Chappie is the head bootblack at the
City Barber Shop. He was in police
court on the gaming and trespassing
charge Monday morning, but was re-
leased when the proprietor of the
shop refused to complain regarding
the latter charge.
Jennie told the court that the fight
occurred following a dance last night.
She said she didn't know why Chap
pie struck her. Chappie was equally
as ignorant. The mayor wondered if
a s. fine would refresh Chappie's
memory, and this was imposed.

BACON WILL RECOVER.

Jackson. Miss, Aug. 18.-Otis
Bacon, the young man who tried to
commit suicide late Monday night IN
the bindery department of the Tucker
printing house will recover unless
pneumonia develops according to
statements made by physicians at the
charity hospital, to which institution
the young man was taken soon after
being assisted by friends.
Bacon, only q years of age, makes
a rather small salary and is desper-
ately in love with Jackson girl. lie
has been brooding for some time over
the fact that his salary is not sutti-
cient to support himself and wife,
and he decided he would rather die
than to live longer without having a
marriage ceremony performed.
In a fit of dependency Monday
night the young man wrote a short
note to w. o. Sharp, foreman at the
Tucker printing establishment ana
handed it to him as he passed through
the front office, where several en-
Moves had fingered for conversation.
MIR Sharp. soon after Bacon passed
10 the rear, happened to glance at the
inscription on the face OF the note,
which asked him to read 1t IN hVe
minutes, but not before. Sharp quickly
suspected something was wrong, ana
read the note. The first two lines
told him the writer would be dead IN
a few minutes. Without waiting to
read further Sharp ran to the bindery,
to find the door locked. He called
but only means answered him.
In desperation several men secured
axes and were about to smash the
door in when Bacon opened it
Blood was streaming from a knife
wound in the left lung. He told his
friends to let him alone that he want
ed to die, but an ambulance was quick
Iy summoned, and the young man was
taken to the charity hospital, where
he has more than an even chance tc
recover.
Bacon, in trying to kill himself
used a knife that is among the tools
employed by workmen in the bindery

$500 IN OATS.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 1S.-Mr. and
Mrs. w. T. Ellis of Crystal Springs,
yesterday sold car load of oats in
this city, the price being $500. The
oats were raised on Ellis farm near
Crystal Springs. They are smut
proof and a splendid specimen of this
grain.
If this couple can raise oats so sue
cessfully there seems to be no reason
why others cannot do the same. The
fact that the oats met such a ready
and easy sale in this city also speaks
volumes for Jackson and is an indica-
ton that no one should have any trou-
bic of getting rid of their products
here.

REDUCING EXPENSES.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 1S.-AmOng a
batch of quarterly statements Of earn
ings and expenses of common carrier
corporations just sent to the MiSsis
sippi Railroad Commission, it is noted
that in only two instances is there an
increase in net revenue compared
with a year ago. AS a rule, the figures
show decreases below last year, and
where increases are shown it is due
to curtailment of operating expenses
and not to any pickup in traffic.
The Yazoo & Mississippi Valley
Railroad Company reports an increase
in earnings, and considerable of a cut
in expense accounts, which combined
gives an increased net revenue of
over $4,000 over the same time in
1914. The Western Union Telegraph
Company, while reporting a reduced
volume of earnings, also shows a
drastic cut in expenses, which gives
turnover of over $1,000 above last
year.
The Illinois Central Railroad Com
pany shows a decrease of over half
million dollars, due to a curtailment
of earnings of over 100000, combined
| with a slight increase in cost of oper-
alton.
A summary OF the figures follows:
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany-Gross earnings, $54,2S9.61; OPP
Grating expenditures and taxes, $780,
5O0.13: net revenue, $14,7S9.4S. For
the same period of 1914 the net reve-
nue. was $3,26695. the net earnings
having been $59,557.5S.

earnings, $2,S10,579.0S; same time in
1914, $2,559,15S26; total operating

1SS.75, a decrease of s14,373.06 beloy
the same time in 1914.
Reports from the Queen & Crescen
lines and New Orleans Great Nortf
ern show relatively decreasing revt
nues and net earnings.
Not only freight-carrying but pal
senger traffic, has also been materia
ly curtailed, and in bringing abou
this condition the automobile may b
considered as factor, since hundred
of journeys which few years ag
were made by rail are now covered b
auto cars, which have increased wol
derfully in the state during the pa
IL months.

CONCERTS CONTINUED.

Dorchester, England, Aug. 1S.-The
carlton, or concert of church bells,
which was one of the great features
of life in Flanders before the war, has
been adopted at Cattistock, village
near here, where there are several
hundred Belgian refugees. A fine set
of bells has been installed in the Cat
tistock church, and the first recital
on them was given this week by NJ.
Joseph Denyn, bellmaster of Malines.
The hours program consisted chief
ly of folk tunes of Belgium and ma
tional airs of England "Chanson d.
Ypres" and "Valeureux Liegeois"
wore followed by Men of Harlech"
and Banks of Alan Water" and the
national anthems of the Allied Ma
lions brought the recital to a close
''This first recital" said NJ. Denyn,
was purpOsely of a very popular
kind. It was primarily for an English
village audience who had had Belgian
guests staying with them for the past
year The latter programs will in
clude music of a more advanced kind
and music which is really more suited
to the genius of the carlton. Broken
chords. inpulsive argeggiOs, delicate
traceries of ornament, in the style Of
the harpsichord, provide the true
technique of the carilloneur."
