Frank Mogle of Cody came down Monday on business and paid our office a visit. Frank is well into the stock business and his taxes run a little higher than when he first begun.

It was Billy Kiucaid's time to hide out last night while the la dies' club met at his house. 'Steen to one is the number and they al ways have an enjoyable time with a feast at the close. Mrs Kin- cud , assisted by Mrs John Yeast , entertained the club S. J. Blakeb came up last Fri day to C. C.

The people hardly realize that there is only a short time left to buy Christmas goods this year. Only six more shopping days 'till Christmas. The stores have out their holiday stock , and if John and Mary's stockings are not filled it will be a blow to Santa Glaus. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Sparks , Mr. ajd Mrs. Val Nicholson , Mrs. Tom Hornby , A M Morrissey , Miss VanAr. dal and John M Tucker went down to Ainsworth Tuesday night to see a repetition of the show , ' 'Thec Devil , " by Chase Lister people.

They came down from Minnesota the 20th of November. It has been 12 years since A. J was home , but he formerly lived on the ranch at Arabia and was an athel te in handling baled hay which h . has not entirely forgotten and could swing a bale to the top of a lo def of hay yet. Mr Jordan has wn advertisement elsewhere in this paper which will interest the hou- < - keeper. James Mon'p , who is the county unruissioner from Cody , was in twn Monday on business. It seems that a commissioner should draw pay as such in general beside his regular work at intervals be Ciuse it is only $3 a day that they get when they are supposed to draw pay and they are always besieged - sieged with a lot of questions and have to hear every man's story when ou or oil' duty. Yet they are always courteous and obliging and ready to spend time to assist this or that m-in to solve problem ; in his community We h-tven't heard anyone complaining of be ing overworked but we just want ed to call attention to our countv i dad'vvi ! ar gener-tlly in obiig i ing S'-t of f.'llo v- Titex take an l interest in th * people arid in county - ( ty affairsi i < j I Old ( Crow , All Loading Hermitage Brands and Bottled Gruclien- Under the heimer Supervision ' Eye oi : the Whiskeys.

FARM PRODUCTS , $7,778,000,000. Twelfth Annual Report of Secretary of Agriculture. The secretary of agriculture in his twelfth annual report to the presi dent renders a comprehensive ac count of his stewardship and presents a review of the progress of agriculture in the United States during this pe J. riod. Concerning the farm production of 1908 , he says that the farmer has created wealth by the billions Pro duction has been above the average of recent years with few exceptions , and , while some prices .have fallen , others have risen. The farm value of all farm products of 190S reaches the most extraordinary total in the nation's history 37,778- 000,000. Greatest of all crops is In dian corn , whose production this year is 2.643,000,000 bushels. The value of this crop is $1,615,000,000. This wealth , grown out of the soil in four months , rain , sunshine and some drought , is enough to cancel the inter est bearing debt of the United States and to pay for the Panama canal and fifty battleships. This crop is worth this year nearly as much as the great crops of cotton , hay and wheat com bined. Compared with the averages of the preceding five years the quan tity is 2 per cent higher and the value 43 per cent higher. All cereals aggregate 4,329,000,000 bushels , a total that has been exceed ed three times , but the value reaches $2,694,000,000 , or more than $300,000- 000 above that of 1907 , and exceeds still more the totals uf former years.
