RECORDS BROKEN BY FIVE
 CROPS

The country has been watching with some anxiety for the effects of the de- creased population of the farming dis tricts. Now it appears that improve ment of methods and the adoption Of labor-saving appliances have more than made up for this loss. For example, smaller population than 20 years ago, Is counties were this year among the souri, for the fiyeyear period preced- ing 1900, the total production of corn, wheat and oats was 1,0S7 100000 bush els, while for the same period preced- ing 1910 the production of these three grains amounted to 1,295, 100000 bush els, an increase of 10 per cent.
 Comparing the f1ve-year period pre- ceding 1900 with that preceding 1920, we find that although Missouri corn production decreased 6 per cent, there were increases for oats of 90 per cent,
 
 wheat 113 per cent and cotton 136 per cent The number of horses increased h per cent and mules S3 per cent dur ing the 20-year period this notwith- tor trucks and tractors. Beef cattle in creased II per cent, milch cows 30 per cent, hogs 90 per cent and sheep 119 per cent.
 The case of Missouri is indicative of | the situation in the whole country. While the cities are filled with com plainers who should be back home producing something the people need, the American farmer who stuck to bis job deserves hearty handshake from Uncle Sam for breaking the records this year in five crops. These were corn, tobacco, rice, sweet potatoes and pears.
 The 1930 crop of corn in the United States reached almost 3,200, 100000 bushels, which was about 75,00000 bushels more than the previous record crop of 1912 Our country produces over 70 per cent of the worlds output of corn, which is the king of our crops. Owing to the decrease in price of corn, however, from an average of $1.35 a bushel Dec l. 1919, to S7 cents bushel Nov 1 of this year, the value of this years crop decreased from s3,934 .000- 000 to about $2, ,793, 100000

DREAM LED HIM TO THIEF"

Two or three months after the alleg ed theft of $500 in cash and checks, Abraham RoSen a Baltimore candy dealer, dreamed d dream. In this wis ion he SAW Il man who, he scnsed in some way, was the theft. Something told him that he could catch the fel- low hy going to New York.
 The next day the dream nearly crowded everything else out of his mind He told himself over and over That il Wa only 4 dream but the wis ion of the supposed thief remained viyidly before him and the idea that he could find him in New York per sisted in spite of all he could do. So he finally decided to journey to the metropolis and see what he could see.
 After walking about short time his eyes fell on he=1erx man that had been revealed to him in his dream. He followed Inn about and when he enter ed garage walked in after him He al&ed d short time with the stranger. Charles Mailman ty name, and urged lim to gn fu Baltimore He evidently employed some very persuasive argu. ment for Mailman finally consented to %.

MILK SUBSTITUTE FROM PEA
 NUTS.

An American university which has been experimenting on the adaptability of the common peanut as a source of milk supply has announced its success in this new field Peanut kernels were converted into milk four times their volume, which varied from four to eight per cent in fat content and around htree per cent in protein.
 The new substitute is like milk In that it turns sour and curdles, pro duces buttermilk when churned and may be made into cheese, but it differs from cows milk mainly in its taste which is distinctly of nut flavor. The cost of production is said to be much less than the market price of COW , milk Milk has long been produced in the Orient from the soy bean, which ls a legume of the same class as the pea nut.

GAS USERS PLAN A
 LINE TO FL DORADO

A corporation of industrial consum- CTS to operate gas lines between the Fl Dorado fields and Little Rock may be the ultimate solution of the pres ent controversy between industrial gas consumers and the Arkansas Nat ural Gas Company, according to mem bers of the Arkansas Gas Consumers Association. It is said that such project would result in a saving of approximately $500 monthly to the large industrial plants, and would be fully practicable, in view of the com paratively short distance for piping.
 This and other business relative to continuing the fight against the pro posed increase in gas rates asked by the Arkansas Natural Gas Company will be discussed at meeting of the Arkansas Gas Consumers Association to be held at II o'clock Friday morn- ing at the Hotel Marion. An invita- tion will be extended to domestic con sumers, with the understanding that the domestic consumers will be asked to raise one-third of the funds neces- sary for carrying on the fight.
 The Gas Consumers Association all leges that if the raise in rates should be granted 1t would have the effect of cutting off all commercial gas con- sumption, as it would entail an in crease of more than $4,0OO monthly to the large industrial plants, cost twice as great as the cost of coal at present prices

AYO OTHER president, with the ex lN ception of John Quincy Adams has served the country as long as James Monroe and, without exception, none has had an official experience co varied.
 From 1776, when he was vigorous Six-foot, broad shouldered. raw-boned boy of eighteen, and left William and Nary's college to enter the Revolu sion, Monroe remained in the public service until 1925. when he retired from the White House wrinkled care bent, impoverished old man. Iu those 40 years, he had been minor military officer under Washington; re peatedly a member of the legislature . member of the Continental congress and of the national senate; twice gov srnor of Virginia; minister to France, England and Spain; secretary of state and war at the same time and finally president for two terms.
 Without wealth or family influence, with a slow, commonplace mind, with no gifts as a speaker; with modest awkward presence and plain. unpol ished manners. this very ordinary man plodded up the ladder of ambition to its topmost rung. Howf By sheer force of his rugged, courageous. in

 Although he failed in some Of his most important tasks, Monroe's fail ures were forgiven because they Were honest mistakes The ridicule and the disgrace brought upon him by the most spectacular episode of his nndramatic life would have buried forever a man more brilliant and less sincere
 This remarkable scene was enacted on the highly theatrical stage of the national convention at naris directly after the Reign of Terror and the fall of Robespierre, when France was the outcast among nations. Al that mo- ment, Monroe appeared as the envoy of the only sister republic and. to let all the world see that the ReVnlutlon had at least one friend left on earth the president of the convention me,o- dramatically folded the rustic Virgin tan in his arms.
 After two years. he was recalled for hls zeal. and came home in rage of indignation Passing by the gate of Mount Vernon without paying his re- spects to Washington, be paid them instead in suD pages which he pub lished in defense of himself and in de- nunciation of the administration.
