Wealthiest Nation.

That in fifteen years the wealth of
this country has doubled, is the CON
clusion reached after an exceptionally
careful study of property statistics in
the United States.
The assertion that we are by far
the richest nation on the globe seems
no longer open to the suspicion Of
being a boast. Here are some OF
the items of American wealth;
Real property and improvements,
taxed and exempt $4,000, 100000;
railroads and equipment, $4,000, ,O00,-
0O0 manufactured products, $4,000.
600. 900; furniture, carriages. autono-
biles, etc, over $S,0O0,OO0, lie
stock, over s6,O0O,OO0,0OO; street rail
ways, over $4,000, 100000, and agricul
tural products over s5,O0O,0O0,0O0. In
clothing and articles of personal
adornment we have invested S4,205,
O0S ,593.
On the census bureaus estimate,
the total of the national wealth today
is approximately $lSS.OO0 100000 A
fact especially deserving of observa
ton is that the unparalleled record
of doubling of the country's riches
in a decade and a half, has been
largely brought about by increase in
land values.
But this dazzling showing should
not make us blind. Wealth alone has
never yet been the means of creating
either an exalted, or a secure destiny
for any people. Wealth can only be
of civic value when it is an adjunct
of high patriotism and sterling citi
zenship.
At this moment, when some OF the
European powers are asking of us a
gigantic loan, proper application OF
existing conditions of the fact that
we are very rich nation, is recogni
ton that our wealth, great as it is
has limits.--Chicago Daily News.

Jjmidity Balks Talent.

A great deal of talent is lost to the
world for the want of little courage.
Every day sends to their graves a
number of obscure men who have only
remained obscure because their timid-
ity has prevented them from making
a first effort, and who, if they could
only have been induced to begin,
would in all probability have gone
great length in the career of fame
The fact is that in order to do any
thing in this world worth doing, we
must not stand shivering on the bank
and thinking of the cold and danger
but jump in and scramble through as
we'll as we can.-Sidney Smith.

months has been rapidly declining in
production, having gone from 800, 600
barrels to 117,0OO barrels. The pro.
duction is now going down at the rate
of approximately $4,000 barrels a day,
and during the last 60 days has fallen
off 1iO. .OoO barrels a day, or more
While it is now estimated that Cush-
ing is not producing in excess of
11IOO0 barrels daily, it is expected
that by October l it will have de-
clined to $4,000 barrels or less.
GASOLINE Supply Short.
If conditions continue as they are
now, Oklahoma next year, unless new
oil POOLS are discovered will not be
producing in excess Of 50,O00,OOO bar
rels. which has been the normal pro-
duction for the past eight years, and
yet the annual crude oil production OF
the state for the past two years has
averaged l0O,0OO,O00 barrels.
The consumption of gasoline in the
United States since 1910 has in
creased something like 500 per cent,
due almost wholly to the ever n
Creasing output OF motor vehicles,
but with the average daily production
now decreasing and having increa sed
but II PER cent over that of five
years ago, it plainly indicates that a
serious condition and not a theory
confronts the motor car owner, who
during the coming year must be wise
and careful.
Oil experts say that gasoline VIII
be 25 cents gallon by October
unless new oil wells are discovered
and in a few years unless new oil
fields are brought in or "A substitute
for gasoline is found, there may be
thousands of useless automob' es
rusting in the garages throughout the
United States, to be later consigned
to the junk heap.
A fortune awaits the inventor who
discovers some new form OF mo-ol
spirit to supplant gasoline when thai

which it probably will be in the mex

Two Crops of Lemons.

BY an interesting yet simple method
two crops of lemons are obtained in
Sicily during the year, though the
second is in every way inferior. The
abnormal fruit is known as the Yer
delli lemon, and is marketed during
the summer months. The Verdelli
lemon, green in color, grows contem-
poraneously on the same trees with
the ordinary or yellow lemon of COM
merce, and is obtained by the follow
ing method: The lemon tree. which
flowers in April, is kept without water
from that period until July, when the
roots are heavily flooded for a time.
This results in a second set of bios
SONS. from which will come the Yer
delli lemon. The ordinary lemon crop
is picked in the months beginning
with October, but the Verdelli lemons
do not mature until the next May.

Russian Soldiers Are

200 Russian soldiers scrambling
through the forest in the rear for an
evergreen sponge with which to scrub
their bodies in a bathing train near by.
Like school children on a picnic, the
overwrought soldiers after having
dwelt for a week under almost con-
tlnuous fire, frolic in the woods as
they vie with each other in finding the
best piece of foliage which can be used
as rude sort of sponge or brush.
The bathing train to which they
then repair is made up of a string of
nine baggage cars along the railroad d
line running from B. to Warsaw. The
cars are provided with steam pines.

and the floors are grooved to let the
water run off freely. Although each
car easily accommodates thirty SOL

pied day and night, as one lot of men
after another arrives for the weekly
bath, which is compulsory.
The first stage of the bath is a dis

more stubborn he grew. and Helen
knew the matter was hopeless.
Whether he would relent and come

best to leave him alone at present.
The big box was literally filled with
long stemmed roses. 1t seemed as
of crimson beauties. and Helen gasp

never squander all that money on
flowers. The flowers he had given her
were nearly all sent in spirit of reok-
