The total value of the nation's farm output was $146,000, 000 more than the estimated value for 1922 and over $6,169,000,000 mor? than the value of the farm products In 1914. In 1921 and 1922 the value of farm products was lower than any year since 1916, when the total was $13,406,000,000. With the entrance of the United 8tates Into the World war, prices for farm crops almost doubled In value. In 1917 the total value of farm products was $19,831,000,000, an In crease of $0,925,000,000 over the previous year. In 1918 the value had reached $22,480,000,000 and In 1919 It was estimated at $28,787,000,000. In 1920 the total value of farm products decreased In the one year more than $6,459,000,000. In 1921 there was a still greater reduction, the total value having dropped to $12,402,000,000, the lowest since 1915. Since 1921 values have been working their way back to normal. Of this year's crop more than $2,000,000,000 worth were marketed by the farmer's own business organisations at the actual cost of handling. Reports from 2,600 grain co-operatives show business totalling $490,000.000; 1,841 dairy products organisations did a business of $800,000.000; 1,182 live stock shipping associations, $280,000,000 ; 78 cotton co-operstlves, $100,000,000 and 14 tobscco organisation?, $182,000.000. Only 8,818 of the 10,800 organisations have report* ed, of whldi 96 per cent were primarily engaged In selling farm products. Legal Blanks for sale at This Office Bishop's light rises near the SelUjr islands nnd gives u grim warning of the dangers of the const. It Is one of the most exposed lighthouses in the world and the three tenders have a lonesome time. During a recent storm the beams from Bishop's rock cume near to falling. The light weighs sev eral tons and revolves on supports resting In a circular trough of mer cury. It is baiunced so delicately a child may turn it by a touch of the fin ger. On this night the tower was so shaken by the heavy seas that much of the mercury was spilled out over the concrete floor of th4 light chamber. The three guards fell on their knees, scooped up the mercury In their hands and poured It back into the trough. Sunrising When the sun approaches towards the gates of the morning, he first opens a little eye of heaven, and sends away the spirit of darkness, and gives light to a cock, and calls up the lark to matins, and by and by gilds the fringes of a cloud, and peeps over the eastern hills, thrusting out his golden horns, like those which decked the brows of Moses when he was forced to wear a veil because himself had seen the face of Ood; and still, while a man tells the story, the sun gets up higher, till he shows a fair face and a full light, and then he shines one whole day.?Jeremy Taylor. Making Fine Distinction* "A woman does not mind being called a kitten, but hates to be named a cat. A man, on the contrary, is flat tered at being thought a dog, but re sents being referred to as a pappy." "When a man describes a woman as a 'sympathetic soul.' you know that she has placed herself like a silent and succulent sponge full In the flow of bis eloquence for a considerable number of hoars, while he declaimed to her his 'conquests, glories, triumphs, spoils,' in aa uninterrupted monologue of com placency."Mere Man," bj Honor Bright.
