THE YEAR'S CROP YIELDS.
With a planted area of almost
600.000 acres less than that of Illinois,
vlowa has raised over 9,4)00,000 more
bushels of corn. The preliminary es
timates made by the department of
agriculture give Iowa a corn yield
this year of 356.725,000 bushels,
Illinois ranking second, with a yield
of 847,14,000 bushels. Iowa had
9,031,000 acres planted, while Illinois
had 9,617,000.
According to government figures
)Iowa produced this year 51.613,000
/bushels more than last year, while
.the Illinois yield shows a falling off
of 35,000,000 bushels. Iowa's vast
superiority over any other corn-rais
ing state is shown by the fact that
Missouri, which planted an area two
thirds that of Iowa, productd a crop
but a trifle over one-half jjK's large.
Nebraska, with an area planted of
only 900,OOu acres less than Iowa,
produced 80,000 000 bushels less.
The final, official figures will show
the 1906 crop yields to surpass those
of 1905 very materially. The total
yield of corn, oats, barley and rye is
placed at 4,660,000,000 bushels, or
143,000,000 bushels more than in 1905.
Every grain crop is larger, except
oats. The crop is by fat the largest
ever raised, and the wheat produc
tion lacks only a few million bushels
of breaking the record. A careful
estimate of the farm values of the
seven important crops, nut including
cotton,makes a total of $2,695,000,000,
an increase of $37,000,000 over the
figures of 1905, which were record
breakers.
The yields of the principal crops,
except cotton, in the United States,
for 1906 and 1905. based on official
preliminary estimates of yields per
acre, are as follows:
1906—Bu. 1905—Bu
Corn 2.881.000.000 2.708,000.000
Wheat 740,000,000 693,000.000
Oats 863,000,000 953,000,000
Barley 147,000.000 136,000.000
Rye 29,000,000 27.000.000
Total grain 4,660.000.000 4,517,000,000
Potatoes, bu 307,000.000 260.000,000
Hay, tons.... 52,000,000 60.000.000
The aggregate farm values of this
year's crops, based on careful esti
mates, and the official report of the
value of the crops of 1905 are as fal
lows:
1906-Val. 1905—Val.
Corn.... $1,123,000,000 $1,116,000,000

These figures are sufficient.to show
the unbounded and unsurpassed pros

circles. —Register and Leader.
SEEING THE SIGHTS.
"Bill and me" went to Omaha last
Sunday. We went just for fun. It
was the first trip "Bill and me" ever
took together without "Mama"
tagging alonj. This fact lent a good
deal of excitement to the adventure,
especially the first end of it. Along
about time for the Sand Man to come
Bill wished that he had taken his
mother with him. We had a dandy
time. We read the funny papers and
punched the machine for candy and
gum and got weighed while we were
waiting for the train. We saw the
Boyer river more times than you could
count, and the school house where
daddy taught while Bill "was up in
Heaven waiting for God to make
him." Down in Omaha we saw some
big tall buildings. "Me" counted
nine stories and Bill counted Meven,
which must be right. We went to a
soda-water-fountain-place and Bill
had hot chocolate and "me" had hot
coffee, and "Daddy's" sugar lumps
went into his pocket lor Happy Hougi
lan, which is the dog. And we
bought flowers of a beautiful lady

fat, and Bill was invited to come
again in twenty years and marry her.
Not the beautiful lady but the litt le
girl. Bill promised, but as he did
not "cross his heart and hope to
die, "B the promise may not be fuT
filledjp We rode on street cars and an
elevator and Bill ate every "smud
geon" of his roast turkey on the din
ing car, and we beat the Northwest
ern, and were mighty glad to get
home to "mama" and tell her all
about it.
'IKEY" MAINS HOME FROM
THE ARMY.
You all know "Ikey" Mains,
whether you know W. T. Mains or
not. He has just completed a three
year enlistment in the army and re
turned home to Charter Oak. He has
made good use of his time while in
the armv, and comes back a much
better man than when he went away.
To talk with him is almost as good
as going to a lecture, for he has so
many things to tell of which we in
the interior of the United States have
no knowledge.
Mr. Mains was in the heavy artillery
branch of the service, stationed at
Ft. Moultrie, near Charleston,. In
the fort he saw many things which
make him believe that it would be a
mighty hard job for an enemy to get
in there if we did not want him in.
The instruments of measurement are
so accurate that before the enemy got
within range they would know all
about his distance, his speed, the rise
of the tide he was coming over, the
swell of the sea, and everything else
the gunners could be influenced by.
If an enemy was coming, Uncle Sam
would have the habor so mined that
no vessel could come in without being
blown out of the water. These mines
are so accurately charted in the bay
that the men in the fort can tell
within four feet where they are at
any time. Then when a vessel goes
to ride over them all the soldiers have
to do is to wait until it gets in the
right place, as it must at some time,
and then touch a button. A switch
board not so very unlike that at the
telephone station connects the tor
pedoes and any that are wanted can
be touched oft'. They are so arrang
ed that any one can be fired, or a
gang of three can be used, or a bunch
of twenty-one. About that time
you would see t.he incoming fleet be
come an outgoing or upgoing squad
ron.
You cannot make the soldiers and
sailor believe that any other power
on earth has a better navy or army
than ours. In Ft. Moultrie alone the
guns will throw 16 tons of steel fifteen
miles out to sea every minute, The
ten-inch guns which make part of the
armament of the fort throw a shot
weighing 650 pounds, using 225 pounsd
of the best smokeless powder to
throw it, and can repeat the dose
every minute-and-a-half.
These guns are not in the house,
but out in the front yard, where they
can be found easily when wanted.
This front yard would be something
of a curiosity to a stranger. The bat
teries are all masked, so that nothing
is seen of them from the outside.
The guns are all of the "disappear
ing" type, which are out of sight ex
cept when fired. They are loaded
below the top of the front wall and
then raised into position and fired.
This lifting is all done by steam, so
there is nothing so very hard for the
men. The gun weighs perhaps sixty
tons.
The gunners that man these big
guns are marvels of expert training.
A target is set up 3,000 yards out
into the bay and no matter how fast
it is moving, these men will hit it
with a cannon ball with nine shots
out of ten. They will actually rid
dle a target in about no time In
other lines they are expert, also, so
hat they are not altogether wrong
in saying that they are as good as
any people on earth.
Charleston harbor would be a bad
place for an enemy anyway, as it
has about 28 feet of water in low
.tide, but in high tide there is plsnty
to float the largest boats. The
title raises twelve feet.

Will says the fighting part of the:
navy does not place so much depen
dence on the cruisers, as they are too
much exposed to the enemy's fire.
These boats are trim and pretty
looking, and fine for their work of
scouting and stirring up trouble, but
the reliance for the fight is placed in
the battle ship, which has more of
bull dog appearance. These big boats
of Uncle Sam are hard customers for
an enemy.
Mr. Mains has not fully decided
what he will do, but rather expects
to hit the Colorado and Kansas:
country before spring. He has had
enough of the army and proposes
now to make some money for him
self. —Charter Oak Times.
TURNED OUT THE GAS.
The Sioux City papers told this
week that Geo. Stuart and perhaps
his wife had been asphyxiated by gas
in one of the hotels of that city, and
the story comes very close home to
one of the homes in Charter Oak.
They are the parents of Mrs. Carl
Brown.
Mr. Stuart managed a saw mill
and his work moved about a great
deal, and he happened to be in Sioux
City. As he retired for the night
he turned out the gas in such a way
as to leave a small leak in the jet,
which caused the trouble. The oc
currence is looked upon as purely ac
cidental. When found the man was
already oast any help, but the woman
was living. The last word from her
is that she is still unconscious and
there is not much hope for her re
covery.
Many Charter Oak people will re
member Mr. Stuart best as the man
who sawed the lumber with which
Geo. Neddermeyer built his big barn
He was remembered here as a well
behaved man. who was highly respect
ed. —Charter Oak Times.
NORTHWESTERN CHANGES.
The northwestern announces two
changes in the time of trains going
west. Number One is six minutes
later, leaving Denison at 6.56 a. m.
while Number Seven is nearly thirty
minutes later leaving Denison at
9.24 a. m. This latter train will be
very convenient for passengers to
Omaha who do not like to get up too
early these cold winter mornings.
The Dramatic Flavor of Wall Street.
It is the speculative side of Wall
street that most appeals to the imag
ination. If we were dealing with that
side of Wall street we should not lack
for authenticated cases of high dra
matic flavor, as, for example, that of
a youth of eighteen who ran if- into

seated and was once almost universal

The 1'lilloMOitlier'N Sport
A balloon trip gives one a sense of
utter and complete stillness and alsj
a beautifully serene feeling of aloof
ness from men and tiresome matters,
a contempt for the puniness of earth
and an unbounded sense of sociability
and camaraderie with those with
whom one is basketed aloft in those
few square feet of wicker. It is a
philosopher's joy. ballooning, the sport
of the scientific, anil the idea that it
provides a new thrill or curdles the
blood of jaded and sinful butterflies
may be good enough for the halfpenny
press, but not for the wiseacres of the
Aci club.—Bystander.
Ilotv Tree* Are lliilant-etl.
A tree grows in-perfect balance on
every side. When a large bram-h
shoots out on one side, one of equal
size or two smaller appear on the other.
The roots are balanced in the same
way, a large branch on one side being
matched by a large root. The center
of gravity is thus always perfectly
maintained.
I'lnicuo of l»vcitiuiin.
Human ingemnly is plague to mod
ern life, and there is some excuse for
the view of a great man who regarded
the inventor ol railways as a curse to
his race. The truth pro'.mhly is that
no Invention is at first perfect, and we
have to suffer from its transitory im
perfections—London Lancet.
