statement to be wholly unfounded
The acreage of cereal crops in these
states was 5 per cent higher in 1910
than in 1900, the number of bushels
of cereals produced was slightly less
than per cent higher, but the value
of the cereal crop almost doubled
co.'s millions to 1921 millions of dol
lars). The acreage in hay and forage
increased 20 per cent; the number of
tons produced increased by a quarter
The value of the product was 222
millions in 1899, and 396 millions in
1901. The daily business shows no
material increase in the quantity of
product. The butter yield for 1900
was S11 millions of pounds; for 1910
it was $50 millions. The production
of eggs. increased by slightly more
than a fifth. The amount of live
stock on the farms in the North Gen.
trail states generally decreased during
the period between 1900 and 1910.
There We're three million less cattle
on the farms; the number of swine
diminished by nearly five millions:
the number of sheep and goats de-
creased by a million and a half; the
number of horses and mules in
creased by a million and half; and
the number of fowls increased by
thirty millions (25 per cent? In spite
of this general decrease in the
amount of live stock, the values very
generally increased, with the excep-
ton of cattle, where there was a
slight decrease in value. The value
of the swine almost doubled; the
value of the horses and mules in
creased nearly $50 per cent; the value
of sheep and goats rose a quarter.
while the value of all fowls nearly
doubled. All of the crops produced
by the North Central states were
valued at a billion and half in 1900.
and at two billions and half dol
lars in 1910.
Three years will elapse before an
other census is taken. Meanwhile We
are making high-price and highland
value history at a rate that would
have taken away the breaths of our
less prosperous ancestors who had
food-and plenty of it-clothing.

on life.

Washington, Feb. Up TO
the time the cabinet recessed
late today there had been no
outward change in the submarine
crisis.
The only definite development
was flat statement by Secretary
Of State Robert Lansing that no
communication had yet been sent
to Germany. He declined to be
questioned, however, on whether
any communication had been
sent to Ambassador James w.
Gerard at Berlin.
Back Of the generally accepted
view that President Wilson had
decided upon his action and that
it probably would be break
in diplomatic relations, even
though delayed by some prelim-
inaries, was hint Of some sort
of action Of which there has hith-
erto been no intimation.
Among a small section Of the
neutral diplomats there was an
impression that announcement Of
the American government
course would be delayed until
next week.

hours it was impossible to travel

Inc one of his meetings at Boston
the noted evangelist said: Il believe
that every disease can be cured by
some weed if we can only discover
it. There is not an ailment that God
hasn't somewhere an herb growing
that will cure that ailment."
The choice medicinal herbs which
will cure women's ailments were dis
covered more than forty years ago.

work for half a century. Lydia L.

Compound, which is to be found in
