The recent bankfullures In Oklahoma and the Bcandals growing out of the back door connection between the state government there and the fulled con cerns, causes the people of Nebraska, where the supreme court recently sot aside a Nebraska bank guaranty law, to consider the conditions of Nebraska banks. Secretary Itoyco of the Nebraska State Banking bord saB: "There has been no bank failure in Nebraska this year and only one failure since 1901." The deposits have increased in tho Nabrnska banks $8,000,000 during tho last jcar, and notwithstanding the strong detvnnd for loans on account of the bad roads that have hindered tho delivery of crops, th. banks now have aboutdoublc the legal reserve on hand. Thirty-four new banks have been started wi&in the last year, and the secretary Congratulates the bankers of the state and the depositors on the good showing of the banking business. Whatever may be said for c against tho bank deposit guaranty proposition, tho Nebraska depositors certainly have no reason to complain of the banking situation in Nebraska. Sioux City Tribune. Big Postal Deficit. Confronted with a deficit of $17,470, 770, the present administration of the post office department began its opcr ations. This was tho largest defi cit in the history of the postal service. So long as the deficit in tho department aggregated only a few millions of dol lars annually, little attention waB paid to it, but when, in the last few years, it leaped to upward of $10,000,000 and fir. ally in 1908 exceeded $17,000,000, "or dinary business prudence suggested that tho cause bo definitely located." These are statements in tho annual report of Postmaster General Frank II. Hitchcock, made public Monday. Con corning tho results of inquiries into the deficit the postmaster general says: "Recent investigations have shown that tho two great sources of loss to tho postal revenues are second-class mail matter and rural delivery. "The loss on second class mail matter has been increasing for many years, until it now amounts to $04,000,000. "The loss from rural delivery, a ser vico Begun hardly a dozen years ago and of unprecedented growth, reached as high as $28,000,000. "In these two items alono tho postal scrvico now suffers an annual loss of more than the entire deficit of the latt fiscal year. Wheat And The World. Mr. James J. Hill continues his warnings nnd exhortations, the latest, uttered at tho National Corn exposition at Omaha, being to tho effect that wi shall beforo long have to import wheat if we do not increnso the productive ness of our farms. Coals to Newcastle would on tho face ofit seems to bo rea- Bonablo trado compared with shipping wheat to the greatest wheat growing land on earth. Yet tho essential facts S are not all on tho surface. To those i1 who look deeply into tho matter there is seen to bo only too much cause for Mr. Hill's warnings, for tho fact is that tho United Stutcs is steadily de dining In its production of wheat in proportion to its own population and is very rapidly declining in proportion to tho product of other countries. Tho United States has the unenvia bio prominenco of being tho only great wheat country excepting Argentina where conditions nro so uitlerent ns not to bo rightly comparable tho pop uiation oi wiiicn is increasing more rapidly than tho production, of wheat In tho twenty-five years from 1881 to 1900 tho thirteen wheat growing coun tries of Europe increased, in popula tion.26 per cent and in production of wheat 28 per cent. As for Canada and Australia, their population increased 61 por cent and their wheat yield 120 per cent. 'But in tho same period the United States and Argentina grow in population 68 per cent, but in wheat production only CO per cent. In Argon Una tho grow.th ot, population has been mora largely through immigration than in the. United States, and the difference between it and' thq growth In wheat production is loss-significant. But1' hero it should be qulto obvious that If tho population continues to in crcrtBo considerably faster than tho growth of wheat it is only a question ' of1 time when tho wheat crop will be ..insufficient to feed the people At tho present time the United States produces about one fifth of tho world's wheat crop and is probably stil tiw clilef' whoftt country, though la some years Russia has surpassed it. But Argentina now produces one-fourth as much and Canada one-sixth as much, while Australia's crop is at Wast onc Beventh as large as ours. The propor tionate exports of Homo of these coun tries are far greater than ours. In some years Argcntlnn has actually exported more wheat, not only proportionately, but absolutely, than the United States. As for tho outlook for future growth we have already pointed out that if all tho available and highly fertile wheat and of Canada were cultivated and produced at the samo nvorago rate as the present wheat farms of that coun try they wouiu do ample to supply tno whole world. I Now, the most important point in Mr. Hill's address was the reminder tnat our decline as a wneat growing country is duo to our failure to get as great a yield from the aero as our rivals get. Russia alono ranks below us, with less than 10 bushels; but sure- wo do not wish to bo compared with a land in which agriculture Is in so primitive n state. Our own yield Is less than fourteen bushels, whllo Aus- tra-Hungary's is ne.trly eighteen, Franco's ia nearly twenty, Germany's Is twenty-eight nnd Great Britain's is no less than thirty-two. Mr. Hill con tends, with reason, that wo ought to improvo our methods of farming so as to incrcaso materially our average yield. It ought to be possiblo for us to in crease our . average to, say, twenty bushels, or about the same as that of Canada and Franco. Certninly we should not lag behind either in scientif ic knowlcdgo of soils and tho treat ment of them, and it would be a sad oproach to us to bo their inferior in enterprise and thrift. The vastucss of our western wheat fields has too much blinded us to the need of maintaining and Increasing their virgin fertility. It has been a great thing to measure wheat farms not by the acre, but by tho square mile, but it is tho size of the crop rother than tho size of the field that counts. New York Tribune. Entertainment Tonight. Miss Alton's pupils will givo a double number ar Keith Theatre Tuesday even ng, Jan. 28th. At eight o'clock the curtain will rise for the beautiful little play arranged by Miss Allen, "When Dolls Come Alive." Following this nine young ladies will present "Pyg malion nnd Galatea," by W. S. Gilbert and made famous by Mary Anderson, a mythological play founded on the old Grco story in which Pygmalion, tho sculptur, falls in love with his own creation, the statue of a beautiful wo man. In tho nbsenco of his wife he prnys that the statuo may como to lifo. His prayer is answered, tho wife re turns nnd of courso t oublo ensues. The play is a comedy through-out but dis tinguished by the refined influence. Resorved Boats .15 cents. R.

The general business situation thorcforo, presents a somewhat mixed appearance, though there is no fundamental change in con ditions, the outlook being in tho main, exceedingly bright. WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO. Their Unceasing Work Keeps us Strong and Healthy. All the blood in the boay passes through the kidneys onco ovory three minutes, Tho kidneys filter tho blood. They work night nnd day. When healthy they remove about 600 grains of impure matter daily, when un healthy somo part of this impuro mat- tor is loft in tho blood. This brings on many diseases and. symptoms pain in tho back, headache, nervousness, hot. dry skin, rheumatism, gout, gravel, disorders of tho eyesight and hearing, d.zziness, irregular heart, debility, drowsiness, dronsv. ilnnnqlfn In th urino, otc.
