F. J. RAGAN.-What's the matter
with you fellows? If it is not LeVish,
Rasmussen, Schultz or Jacobs, it is
you, Raglan. You want free press;
but you want to be the censors.
One subject seems to get your
goat. You accuse me of vanity.
Would it please you more if 1 signed
my name Gehossephat or Jim Step
and-Go-Fetch-it? Must go down to
Washington to get a trade mark just
to please you fellows? Call me Mike,
if you can't stand the name my folks
gave me.
What pIeases me most is when my
name in print sticks in the crops and
disgruntles people who hate me.
What's in a name? Nothing! But
it serves as a purpose of Identified
ton, that's all. l have no right to
judge the earnestness of any Forum
writer.
He may be a Democrat, Republi-
can, Prohibitionist, Socialist or what
not, but what right have 1 to tell him
to quit writing for The Day Book.
What right have got to threaten the
life or browbeat any man or woman
who writes in The Forum? They
see the light as God permits them to
see the light. have no right to qUes-
ton their sincerity.

VALUE OF FARM LANDS.

The department of agriculture re-
norts an advance in value of farm
lands in the United States equal to
more than rs per cent within the last
four years, and of more than IL per
cent within the last year. This not
able addition to the wealth of the
nation is occasion for both increased
pride and apprehension, says Omaha
Bee. 1t will enable us to point to an
enormous aggregate of material pos
session, but 1t is also notice to the eff
feet that the natural available portion
Of our wonderful domain is already
in use. Intensive farming, utilization
Of land now neglected in the best
farming regions, and the further
reclamation of desert and swamp will
increase both the productivity and
the employed land area>in the United
States, but it will not help the stu
alton of the landless man. The from
tier was long ago wiped out, and the
neglected regions of the country have
been carefully scanned in search of
available farms. Notable achievement
has followed effort to make useful
land that has too much or not enough
water, and the end of this is not yet,
but Uncle Sam can nc longer give
forty acres and mule to anyone.
This does not mean that the limit
Of our agricultural output has been
reached. We have just read in the
news columns the announcement that
the farmers are voluntarily restrict
ing the wheat output by 200,O0O,000
bushels; it is possible to raise even
greater crops than were gathered in
1915, the best year ever known in
this country. Our farmers will be
required to make more of their op-
portulity.

The deepest regions of the ocean
are commonly close to the shore and
are believed to have been caused by
the crumbling inward of the earth's
crust due to the pressure of the near
land. Such is the "Tuscarora deep"
long narrow trough which extends
northward from Japan along the coast
Of Asia; it's bottom being more than
27,600 feet below the surface of the
sea and $4,000 feet below the general
level of the oceans floor. An even
more profound abyss is the Aldrich
! deep close to the Tongan and Ker-
mandec islands, which sinks to a
depth Of 30.930 feet The greatest yet
Hound, however, is the Swire deep of
Mindanao Of the Philippines, this be
ing 32,0s9 feet, or 3,089 feet deeper
than Mount Everest of the Himalayas,
is high. However, one gains an idea
OF the rarity of such abyssal regions
4 from the fact that of the $3.50 sound
ings that have been made and report
ed in water over 1000 fathoms in
depth, only II were greater than 1900
and only three exceed 5000 fathoms
in depth, says Scientific Monthly. The
greatest recorded depth of the ocean
Is only 400 feet more than six miles.

Experts of the bureau of mines, in
statement issued by the bureau, de-
clare that at the present rate of pro-
duction the country's supply of crude
oil would be exhausted in 81 years,
hence there is little hope for a reduc-
ton in gasoline prices, unless through
development of processes for obtain
ing larger quantity of gasoline from
crude oil. That puts the matter up
to our chemists to get busy, else with
the continued soaring prices our au-
tomobilists will have to reduce the
speed limit.

High Bids Mark Land Auction.

At an auction of state land by the
state land board the sales brought
$12,13S more than the appraised valu-
alton. John F. Vivian, register of the
board, regarded this as an indication
of the demand for Colorado lands.
There were 1856 acres sold, and they
brought a total of $100,163. The avec-
age price per acre was $13.86. Eighty
acres of land near Limon, that was
appraised at $40 an acre, brought S42
an acre under spirited bidding. This,
however, was excelled by the price
paid for 160 acres in the San Luis
Valley land, which had been ap-
praised at $45 an acre and was sold
for $G0.75 an acre. The tracts sold
were scattered through Boulder, Arap-
ahoe, Adams, Yuma, Morgan, Weld,
Gunnison, Grand, Kiowa, Ebert,
Washington, Lincoln and Rio Grande

The bill provides that 80 per cent
of the money realized from the sale
of these lands shall be set aside as 4
public roads fund to be used in the
maintenance of interstate highways.
The balance is to be appropriated as
a part Of the reclamation fund.
