Farm Lands Increase in Value.

The value of farm lands of the Unit
ed States is estimated ut S45.55 pc,
acre as compared with Si0.S5 Il year
ago. S4o.3l two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and S36.23 four years ago,
The census reported the value OF
farm lands in 1910 us $50. 10, and in
1906 as %13.a1 per acre.
In recent years The value of farm,
lands Inns been increasing at the rate
of about 3 per cent n year, or approx
mately - per e per year. The e
ceptional increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac-
ton in the southern cotton states fol
lowing Il temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus given
by the wal to prices. particularly of

SOME PITHY SAYINGS
OF GREAT COMMANDERS
From the Boston TRANSCRIPT.

1t Is still an open question by what
eplSrams the present war will be re-
melnbered; or rather, what cpigramS
will be associated with the story OF
this war. since there will be no fear
but that the war will be remembered
on It's own account. entirely apart from
anything that may be said by any Of
its protagonists.
Almost every val has produced one
or more memorable sayings. Some of
them may be. indeed certainly are,
a~pocryphal. Most of them, including
some of the very best, are as certainly
authentic. Napier may not have an
inc his conquest of Scinde in the
laconlc and punning message, "Pecca-
Wy hut Caesar did report "Vcni, yidi,
Wei Wellington may not have cried
Up, guards, and at them." but Nelson
land expects every man to do his
duty Cambronne did not say "rhe
guard dies, but never s~urrenderS!" but
MacMahon did say, Here | ann, and
here l stay!" There are those who
question whether Latour d'Afi.srgne's
name was habitually responded to at
roll call with Dead on the field OF
honor!' though presumption as We'll as
sentiment incline US to believe the
story true. But "Old Put" did say at
Bunker Hill, wait till you see the
whites of their eyes!" and Paul Jones
did say at marlborough Head, Il have
not yet begun to fight"
Indeed, many of the most notable
sayings of this kind are matters of
record, beyond dispute. Lawrcnce's
Don't give up the ship:" is not to be
challenged. and, of course, Perry's 1--WE
have met the enemy and they are ours
is entirely authentic. There is no rea-
son to question "a little more grape,
Captain Bragg" Grants "Uncondition-
al surrender" II propose to move i'm
mediately upon your works." and Il
propose to fight it out on his line, if
1T k all summer" We're matters of
manuscript record; as were also his
cEivalric "Officers to retain their side
arms" at ~Appomattox. and his Let US
nave peace after the end of the great
struggle. The brief war with Spain
produced several sayings worthy Of all
remembrance, and entirely authentic.
Among them We're Captain Phillips
Don't cheer. boys, those poor devils
are dying!" and Dewey's You may
lire when you are ready. Gridley!" SO,
too. was Dewey's grim and effective
message to Admiral Won Diedricbs.
Tell your admiral that if he wants a
light he can have it right now" SO,
700, was Joe" Wheeler's superb lapse
Of memory into reminiscence of one of
his lightning charges in the civil war,
when. leading men of the north as well
as OF the south against the Spanish
foe, he yelled again the confederate
war cry Of his youth, Give the Yam
KEGS hell. boys!"
But what has the present war orc
duced? So far as we know, nothing
upon the field of battle. There the big
mortars have done the talking. and
poisonous gases have stifled human
speech. Two utterances. however,
stand out distinct, indisputable and un-

be glad not to remember them. They
are "A scrap Of Taper" and "rco
