To Each His Place.

Men have died of Inconsistencies for
the narrow fields and elm-shaded hol-
lows in the hills Of old New England
in the same spirit that sends others
toiling painfully back to the brown
sand dunes about San Francisco bay.
Some have lost their hearts to the
deep pine woods of the North and
others to the stately moss-hung live
oaks that line the shell road to Mobile.
Some would come to the city of their
souls through the low, warm mists
that overhang Chesapeake bay, and
others prefer to see the lights of home
shining clear in a rise of the great
plains 80 miles away as the crow
flies. The truest thing Kipling ever
said is that God gave all men all
earth to love, but, since their hearts
are small, ordained for each one place
should prove beloved over ALL" That
place is home, and they have lived
who find it-Collier's Weekly.

Redwood Thousands of Centuries Old.
While one of the professors of the
University of California was studying
rock formations about twenty miles
from San Francisco he discovered a
quantity of California redwood splin-
tiers which had undergone no change
in texture. They were neither petri-
fed nor decayed.
The splinters could be shaved and
cut with knife and retained their dis
tinctiye markings of redwood.
The strata in which these were
found embedded in the sandy base Of
the rock showed they had at one time
been sunk under the sea and at later
date had been raised and tilted over,
so that the position of the trees was
horizontal instead of vertical
1t is estimated the age of these
trees is in the millions of years. The
discovery was made at Mussel Rock
Cal.

APPEAL THAT GOT RESULTS
Humorously Written "Dun" Had the
Effect of Bringing Check to Settle
Long-Standing Debt.

A well-known business man in Law
renee, Mass, once had customer who
contracted a debt that ran along un-
paid for year or more, and even sew
eral letters failed to bring about a
settlement.
One day, while glancing over the
religious notices in local paper, the
business man saw something that gave
him a new idea. He went to his desk
and wrote the following note to the
debtor:
my Dear Sir: see in the local
press that you are to deliver an adj
dress on Friday evening before the
Y. M. G. A. on The Sinners Balanced
Account inclose yours, as yet un-

Washington-A vigorous protest
has been prepared by the state depart
ments against the removal by the
French cruiser Descartes of Germans
and Austrians from the American
steamships Carolina, Coamo and San
Juan on the high seas. The note will
contend that removal of citizens of any
nations from an American vessel on
the high seas is without legal justifi-
cation.
1t will be asserted in the note, as il
was year ago in a protest to France
in the case of August Piependrink, that
the men removed were not embodied
"in the armed forces of the enemy in
the sense of that term in established
international law The communica

as a precedent.

FARM PRODUCTS

VALUE LAST YEAR.
COTTON CROP Is ESTIMATED
Suggests Legislation for Better Han

ports Increase over $3.50, 100000
in One Year.

Washington Secretary 'Houston's
annual report, made public Wednes-
day, places an estimate of S9,S73, 000,-
600 on the value of American farm
crops and animal products for last
year, a valuation without precedent.
This, however, will be eclipsed by the
present years showing.
This valuation is an increase of
about $S3,000,000 over the value OF
1913, hitherto the highest ever record
ed. The increase occurred in the face
of a decline in cotton from 12.5 cents
a pound for the 1913 crop to an aver.
age of 73 cents for 1914. The total
value of the 1918 cotton crop, estima-
ted at $S46,000,0O0, was 1888 100000
more than the 1914 crop, although the
latter was IA per cent greater in guam

ports were $1,157, 100000 and imports
$771, 100000 giving a favorable bal
ance of $3S6,000,O0O OF the total val
ue of exports, $662,O00,O0O represent

nonagricultural commodities, chief,
manufactures.
1.-THE total agricultural exports il
the fiscal year ended June 80, 1915
practically the first year of the war
were $1,470, 100000, which is an in
crease of $356,OOO, 900, or 23 per cen
over those of the preceding year ant
of $433, 100000, or nearly AZ per cent
