ABUNDANT HA VEST.
The revival of the iron and
steel industry in the Birmingham
district will give employment to
thousands of men who have been
laid off during the period of de
pression, and similar reports of
returning confidence and activity
arp coming in from [all over the
country.
On top of these healthy signs
of the times comes the announce
ment from the department, of ag
riculture that never since the
keeping of statistics became a
part of its duties—never in the
history of the country, in fact—
lias there been a more pleasing
outlook for the crops of tho coun
try.
List year, it is recalled, was a
record-breaker. The farmers
paid off the few mortgages that
remained, and began spending
their surplus money for luxuries
which, in tho old days, they had
never hoped to enjoy.
But the indications are that
the crops this year will be even
more abundant than they were
last year. The department re-
pirt shows that while corn is not
very well advanced, the prospects
are for a crop of a billion and a
quarter bushels, which at pres
ent prices ought to bring about
six hundred afid twenty-five mill
ion dollars. The demand for
money with which to move the
growing crop is usually about
two hundred and fifty millions.
This year it will ^be about two
hundred and seventy-five mill
ions.
1’eople who revel in statistics
have calculated that all the en
gines and freight cars in the
country would not be sufficient to
move the corn crop at one time
and that it would make a string
of trains nearly fourteen thous
and miles long.
But it is not the corn crop
alone which promises well. The
chunces are that the yield of
spring wheat will be one hun
dred and sixty million bushels,
which would be more than four
millions in excess of the bumper
crop of 1000. In winter wheat,
rye and barley the increase will
also be large.
The most gratifying fact, ac
cording to Secretary Wilson, is
that the surplus Btock produced
two years ago is about gone and
the tendency in all lines of busi
ness is upwards. For that rea-
son, he tells us, “The immense
harvest in prospect will be the
blessing a big crop always would
be were it possible to have a per
fect adjustment between the
business of the country and the
supply of currency, so as to have
the big production handled in
the mint efficient manner.”
Every crop except apples was
better than for the ten-year aver
age on June 1, and at the same
time American consumption is
increasing by leaps and bounds.
On the whole there is every
reason to look with satisfaction
on the prospects for the agricul
tural interests during the present
year, while the business of the
country may be expected to take
a corresponding tendency up
wards.

WHY?
“There ard two things that
strike the editor of this paper
with such force that they con
stantly recur to his mind, says
the Hamilton Hustler. They are
these: Why is it that if a news
paper has something good to say
of a man, nobody thinks it of
enough consequence to call his
attention to it; but if something
that is disagreeable to him is
said, nearly every other person
almost breaks his neck to be the
first one to ask the man if he had
seen what the paper said about
him? Again, why is it that a
person who is favored through
the columns of the paper will go
right along taking these things
as a matter of course, and never
expressing by word or deed his
appreciation of it, but the very
first lime there is anything iivthe
paper that rullles his feelings, he
gets cross and vindictive about
it and wants to make trouble for
the paper?”

not have to twiBt his arm to hook
his bodice up the back.
When he can.wear his best hat

When he gives his hair a neat
little slick with a comb, and,
presto 1 his coiffure is complete'.
When the children cry, and he
can whistle a tune, get his hat,
bang the door and go out.
When he stows things away in
his multitudious pockets and
suunters on with unencumbered
hands.
When he trips up the street on
a rainy day with his trousers
jauntily turned up, no skins to
kick.
When he swings easily out of a
moving car without danger of
tangling his heels in his petti
coats.

If one feels dull and spiritless, In the
spring or early summer, they call it
"spring fever.” Hut there is no fever—
usually. It Is the after alTectg of our
winter habits. The nerves are mostly at
fault. Tired, worn-out nerves leave us
languid. IlfeiesB and without spirit or
ambition. A few fdoses of Dr. HhOop’s

change all of these depressing symptoms

A New Use for
Cotton Seed Meal.
A gentleman told us the other
day that “moonshiners” in this
county were actually making
whiskey out of cotto'o peed ineal.
One bag, containing about two
bushels, will make seven gallons
of as vile stuff as ever went
down a man’s throat. It is re
tailed at $8.06 a gallon, and it
can be seen what a nice profit is
made. A little potash is added
to make the stulf “bead,” and
you have something that will
knock the dust out of your threat,
also take the skin nd wherever it
touches. So a new use has been
found for cotton seed meal other
than for feeding cattle.—Murphy
(N. C.) Scout.
Situation Annoying.
The flames were shooting from
the windows of the tall building
and resembled huge red ami sear-
let tongues. Smoke poured in
volumes into the heavens above,
blackening the atmosphere.
The fire-fighters were strug-
g'.iqg desperately with their lad
ders and hose. Hundreds of per
sons matched the great and
dramatic conflagration, when
suddenly every soul was terrified
beyond description by the ap
pearance of a little bov at a
twentieth-story window. He
i-lade no demonstration save to
ti|nyo jiis hand.
Screams from the throats of
the populace rent the air. The
fireman ran up a ladder with fit
ful rapidity to save the trapped
human. One of them dashed
swiftly up the rounds through
the deuse smoke, and when he
had reached the eighteenth floor
yelled out encourageingly:
“Don’t jump! Holdfast! I’ll
be there in a moment-.”
“The circumstances of my
predicament are indeed pecul
iar,” came the answer from
above. “You can rest assured,
however, that 1 shall not deliber
ately plunge myself into space,
although I may perish in this
stilling and suffocating smoke.
The situation is very annoying,
but alter due consideration and
deep thought I have concluded
to wait, until you mount the lad
der and reach my side. 1 will
not need your assistance in de
scending.”
It goea without saying that, af
ter the boy was brought to earth
it was found that he was from
Boston.—The Bohemian.

Tile trouble with most cough cures
is that they constipate. Kennedy’s
Laxative Cough Syrup does not con
stipate, lint on the other hand itslnx-
ntive principles gently move the

is .especially recommended for chit*
