CROPS OF LAST YEAR
HAD ENORMOUS VALUE

WASHINGTON, Feb. II (by Associ-
aetd Press). High prices and in
creased production swelled the total
value of the farm crops of the country
in 1918 half billion dollars more
than the total of any previous year.
This aggregate value of farm crops
for the year has been placed at $14,-
OOO,769,0O0 by the bureau of crop esti-
mates of the Department of Agricul-
ture. The previous record value year
was 1917. The value of last years crop
was double the average value for the
five years, 1912 to 1916.
Illinois ranked first in the value OF
all crops as did that state in 1917.
Iowa, Texas and Georgia were second,
third and fourth, holding the same
rank they did in 1917. Minnesota took
fifth rank, jumping from ninth place
which she held in 1917 Ohio dropped
back into sixth place from the fifth
rank. North Carolina moved up into
seventh rank from the eleventh place,
Indiana retained her,t eshth place.
Missouri dropped into ninth rank from
sixth place she held the previous year.
Pennsylvania moved into tenth place
from the fourteenth position. Neb-
raska, which held seventh place in
1917, dropped back to the seventeenth
rank California dropped from tenth
rank to twenty-first.
The thirteen principal farm crops
corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buck
wheat, tiaxseed, rice, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, tame hay, tobacco and lint
cotton-which formed almost 80 per
cent of the value of all of the coun-
try's crops in 1909, as reported by the
census bureau, were valued in 1918 at
$11,125, $4,000.
The total value of all crops as given
is the hypothetical value, based upon
the ratio of the thirteen principal
crops to all crops in the 1909 census
bureaus report.

FAIRBANKS NEWSPAPER
SLIPS BOUQUET TO EAMES

1t would seem that the trouble with
our mail service this year is that it is
made in Seattle" instead of by Alas
kans in the past years. Until this
year Alvah Eames at Cordova used to
boss the mail shipments into Fair
banks. He had been on the job SO
long that he knew what was best for
the people and he sent it. He had
Alaskans on the boats to Cordova
sorting the mail on the way up, and
when that mail reached Cordova he
resorted it and corrected any mis-
takes the boat clerks had made. If
he found that some federal official
was getting lot of "franked" stuff
that was of no real value to the camp,
Mr.. Eames sidetracked that mail and
the other Montgomery-Ward catalogs
and sent in the more desirable mail
first. So long as there was worth
while mail to send the "bunc" mail
was kept in COrdova. This year they
have taken it out of his hands-all our
mail is sorted in Seattle and sent
through from there by the freight
route. October papers are arriving
now, and there is no system of any
worthwhile kind in the Seattle way.
And there's no chance to change
things this year.-Fairbanks News

LANDING SEASON is
ABOUT ON AND THE

Victor sails, of this city, one of the
most successful sheep raisers of New
Mexico. returned to the city yester-
day from his ranges in western So
zorro county. He drove through a
snow storm, practically from the
ranges until he reached the valley
around Socorro and from the latter
town to Albuquerque he encountered
bad roads, as the result of recent
heavy rains. Mr. Sais states that the
lambing season has aborB com

age, saying that the ewes are in pref
ty good condition and the ranges are

BUT YOU CAN'T RELY ON

HALERS.

There is no use permitting
yourself to be deceived. Per-
haps, like thousands of others
afflicted with Catarrh, you are
about ready to believe that the
disease is incurable, and that
you are doomed to spend the
remainder of your days hawk
ing and splitting, with no relief
in sight from infamed and
stopped-up air passages that
make the days miserable and
the nights sleepless.
Of course this all depends
upon whether or not you are
willing to continue the old.
time, maIe-shift methods OF
treatment that you and many
other sufferers have used fol-
years with no substantial re.
suits. If you are still content
to depend upon the use OF
sprays, douches, inhalers, jel.
lies and other like remedies by
themselves, that are applied to
the surface and cannot reach
below it, then make up your
mind now that your Catarrh
will remain a life companion
andFs will follow you to the
grave.
You must realize that the
disease itself, and not it's symp-
toms, is what you have to cure.
OF course you know that when
you are cured of any disease its
symptoms will disappear. Ca

first-class ball players in the country

system through which players are pur-

jumped to the Federals, did not have

make breathing very difficult.
To get rid of these distressing
effects you must remove their
cause.
The blood is laden with the
Catarrh germs, which direct
their attack against the tender
and delicate membranes of the
nose and throat. These germs
cannot be reached by sprays or
douches, which, of course, have
no effect whatever upon the
blood.
S. S. S. is purely vegetable
blood remedy, made from roots
and herbs direct from the for
est, which combat promptly
any disease germs or impuri-
ties in the blood. The great
remedy has been used for more
than fifty years, with most sat
isfactory results. 1t has been
successfully used by those af-
fiicted with even the severest
cases of Catarrh, because it
drives out from the blood the
Catarrh germs, and eliminates
every foreign substance from
the blood. S. S. S. is sold by
druggists everywhere.
For the benefit of those af-
flicted with Catarrh or other
