Land Taken by Homesteaders.

279,544, 4O4 acres, "unappropriated and
unreserved, Of which 172, 9S7 ,912 acres
are surveyed and the rest unsur-

All this is in the 25 public land
states, and in addition to this enor-

300,000,000 acres in Alaska which will
be available to American citizens.
Nevada is shown to have the most

which almost 100000 acres are al

only 923 acres, reports the least pub

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's Review says: With cross
currents diminishing in force, the tide
of business is rising at an accelerat-
ed pace and an era Of widespread &C.
tivity is in prospect. Usually during
a transition period gains are recorded
slowly, but strictly mercantile con-
dltions have passed the stage where
progress is difficult of discernment,
and of late industrial expansion has
been phenomenally rapid.
Reports from nearly all sections Of
the country tell of the unchecked
growth of new enterprise, which,
while manifest in varying degrees in
different lines and localities, is every
where stimulated by the exceptional
strength of the fundamental situa-
tions. Assurance of agricultural sue
cess, together with almost unlimited
financial resources, has given the
commercial world the confidence es-
sential to the development of ma
tional prosperity, and the notable i'm
provement is now more clearly re-
Elected in the volume of current trans
actions. The latter, with few excep-
tions, are steadily charging, as is
evidenced by the comparisons of bank
clearings, railroad earnings, commod.
ity prices, untitled steel tonnage, idle
freight cars and other statistical ba-
rOmeters.

Higher Crowns in Women's Hats.
TAT.ONCE. 1T REALLY HELPS

Variety Is the keynote in the mil
linery situation and the new hats for
fall are entirely different from those
of last season. High styles are COM
ing in very strongly and it is in these
effects that perhaps the most notable
changes are made, says Drygoodsman.
The high Russian styles are the fore
most sellers in turban effects and the
wide fur Russian brim is one of the
outstanding fashions.
Sometimes the brim Is made of an
other material than fur and when this
is the case the crown is usually made
of fur. The familiar poke shapes are
considerably higher than they were
last season and SO much is this the
case that it seems difficult to recog-
nize the poke. They were frequently
resemble turbans.
There are number of high draped
effects among the new hats, the height
being secured by the draping OF rib
bons or feathers.
The new derby shape with very
high crown is a strikingly good num-
Der.

Why Sweet Potatoes Are Sweet.

In the beginning what we call sweet
potatoes are really not very sweet.
During their growth the roots contain
only a little more sugar than other
varieties OF potatoes and the reserve
materials from the vines are deposited
almost wholly in the form of starch.
But Immediately after the potatoes
reach their full growth and are har-
vested the starch in them begins to
be rapidly transformed into different
kinds of sugar.
This Transformation at first seems
to be due to internal causes, one of
which is very probably the sudden ces-
sation Of the flow of materials from
the vines. Even when potatoes are
kept at as high temperature as SO
degrees, sugar continues during this
initial period to accumulate in excess
Of the quantity used by the tubers in
respiration.
When stored in the average cellar,
where the temperature Is from SO to
60 degrees, there is a gradual disap-
pearance of starch during the first
of the, season. From October, which
is the usual harvesting time, potatoes
stored at this temperature grow sweet
or and sweeter until about March,
when starch begins to form again and
the sugar to disappear. This process
continues until June, when decay be-
gins to set in.
In sweet potatoes kept in cold stor-
age, science has discovered that there
Is much more rapid disappearance
of starch and an accompanying in
crease in sugar. Whether the tenn
perature is high or low, the starch in
sweet potatoes Is steadily converted
into sane sugar for the first five or
six months after they are harvested,
and 1t is upon this change that their
sweetness depends.
At first thought 1t may seem hardly
worth while for scientists to take such
pains to ascertain just why sweet po-
tatoes are sweet and Just when they
are sweetest, but, as q matter Of fact,
1t Is one of the greatest importance.
The more we know about the chemical
and other changes which take place
in our fruits and vegetables after they
are harvested the better we shall know
how to store them so as to lose the
least possible amount of their appe-
tizing and nourishing qualities.

Labyrinths Ct Barbed Wire.
It did not seem possible to me that
there was SO much barbed wire In this
big world of ours as is strung along
through the woods and fields Of this
part of France. It is q deadly wire,
for 1t has more prickles than any burr
that grows in the fields. and these
prickles are of steel. The wire is
strung into labyrinths through which
it is impossible to thread ones way
except under guidance. Back of these
mazes Of barbed wire are the trenches,
and in these trenches are the soldiers
of France, although you do not know
1t until you drop down into their
midst.
Here they are with their periscopes
watching and waiting In the lull times
for q chance to pick OF foeman
who is looking through his periscope
in trench some hundreds Of yards
away. This Is like squirrel shooting.
Probably not more than seven or
eight men are killed In "a hours by
this sharpshooting process, but the
soldiers indulge in 1t all the time In
order to make their enemy keep under
