Assets and Liabilities.

An asset is something which you
think belongs to you. A liability is
something of yours which others think
belongs to them. Neither one of you
is quite right. An asset without a liza
bility would not be called an asset.
Neither would a liability without an
asset be called a liability. 1t would
then be debt, while an asset without
liability would be wealth or capital or
property.
An asset is what you think you own.
A liability is what others think you
owe What your liabilities are depend
upon your assets. What your assets
are depend upon your liabilities.
Therefore an asset is a liability and a
liability is an asset--Life.

Due to Big Acreage.

The increase in the wheat crop Ia
practically entirely due TO the increas-
ed acreage under cultivation this year,
as the average yield per acre is ex-
pected to fall slightly below that OF
last year. being put at 1853 bushels to
the acre, where last years yield was
16.6 bushels TO the acre.
The corn crop, like the wheat is
threatening to pass another memorable
mark by turning out 3,000OO0,000 bush
els, the advance estimate now being
2,91SOOO,OOO bushels. This is an in
crease over last years yield of 245.-
100000 bushels. Marketed at 60 cents
a buShel. this crop will be worth ST.
750. 100000 to the country.
The expansion of the corn crop Is
due at once 10 increased acreage under
cultivation, and TO a better yield per
acre, the acre yield having been in
creased. in spite of the wet weather.
from 25S bushels to 26.7 bushels. This
crop will probably represent close to
three fourthS the worlds total produc

The oat crop, the third of the three
great leaders. has increased over last

figures being for this year 1,402, 100000
bushels; for last year, 1,141,O00,0000
bushels. Placed on the market the

Chief Black to Measure Men
at Time They Apply for
Places on Force
FINES IN CITY COURT
BREAK ALL RECORDS

Claiming that many applicants for
positions on the police force were
found to be too short or lacking in
weight when subjected to an exami-
nation. Police Commissioner William
B. Megear at the meeting of the COM
mission yesterday urged that all ap-
plicants be measured by Chief Black
or his secretary, Sergeant Schell. The
matter was brought up when applica-
tions we're read from Hugh Grubb. of
No. 526 East Seventh street. and Files
G. Winder, Of No. 500 French street
The latter's application showed he
was too short in stature for a position
on the force.
Mr.. Megear said Il was a waste of
time to consider requests for posi-
tions when the applicants we're too
light in weight or too short. Commits
sioner Megear said that last Satur-
day night, the commissioners exam
ined applicants for positions as pa
trolmen and a number OF them we're
too short. The request Of Mr.. Grubb
was ordered filed.
The commissioners yesterday did
not appoint anyone to the two vacan-
cies existing in the department.
The report OF Chief of Police Black
showed the receipts of City Court last
week to have been the largest in the
history Of the city The total amount
collected In fines was S716.06 The
number of prisoners committed to the
workhouse during the week, was
seventy-seven.
The contract for furnishing 1900
brass dog tags for next year was
