RAIN NECESSARY T0 SAVE GRAIN Crisis in Crop Situation Is Now at Hand. DAMAGE NOT EXTENSIVE Liberal Rainfall Within Next Few Days Will Insure a Y «ld of Fair Proportions, According 2 Reports From Various Sections—Heat and Drought Causes an Advance in the Wheat Market. St. Paul, June 21.—While the in- tense heat and the drouth conditions that are prevailing over the Northwest have brought a crisis in crop condi- tions in many districts reports indi- cate that serious damage is not exten- sive and that anxiety regarding the yield is based on predictions as to what may happen if rain does not come within the present week, rather than on actual demage. Reports received in the last two days bear out the belief that liberal rainfall even in sections from which come the gloomiest reports, will in- sure a wheat crop of fair proportions. Few districts report extensive damage and in sections where experience with drouth in past years has taught the conservation of moisture the grain oan stand a week or more of the pres- ent weather and then, with copious sbowers, yield in bumper proportions. Wheat Ripening in Advance. The heat has matured wheat rapid- ly and the berries have been ripening in advance ot the usual growth of the straw. Where there has been moisture conserved in the soil the berries are found to be plump and the yield will be up to the normal. Undoubtedly there are tracts where hot weather and winds have dried out the soil to such an extent that the berries at the present advanced stage of growth will not develop well with any amount of moisture. One of the largest wholesale grain houses in the Northwest wires that their reports do not show much dam- age yet, but says that the entire wheat erop is in a serious condition and that rain must come soon to prevent enormous damage. Wheat on the Minneapolis market opened 3% cents higher, showing that the bulls are making the most of the drought. Chicago Hears Bad Reports. Chicago, June 21.—Private reports of weather conditions as affecting the spring wheat country of the two Da- kotas and Minnesota hinted of sensa- tional developments. A report by one of the best known experts said that the crop has deteriorated 15 per cent in North Dakota during the last week. Should another week elapse without general rains in that section {t is said the damage would be so severe as to verge on the sensational. The official weather forecast promised ‘“cloudy” or local showers in the spring wheat country, but it is said that the ma- terialization could do little to help the crop. Soaking rains are a crying necessity. On the board of trade wheat for de- livery in September opened 2 cents higher. HOOSIERS SEEK TAFT'S AID Want President to Take the Stump in Indiana. Indianapolis, June 21.—The definite announcement that President Taft will deliver an address at Winona Lake the latter part of August has in- creased the determination of the Re- publican leaders to urge him to make three other speeches in the state while in the West, one in this city, one at Fort Wayne and one at Evansville, It is understood that both the pro- gressives and the standpatters in the party have suggested that the presi- dent be urged to speak. The fact that he will be expected to defend the Payne-Aldrich tariff law will not de- ter the progressives in joining in the movement for additional addresses, it 18 sald. SULTAN OF SULU COMING Filipino Ruler Will Pay a Visit to the United States. Manila, June 21.—The sultan of Sulu, who once offered his hand in marriage to Miss Alice Roosevelt, is to visit America. He announced that the chief object of his trip abroad is to dispose of a collection of pearls valued at something like $250,000, the proceeds from which wil be devoted to improving the condition of hig peo- ple. In August, 1905, President Taft, who in his capacity as secretary of war was touring the Philipplnes with a congressional delegation and an un- official party, visited Sulu. The Americans, including President Roosevelt’s daughter, were entertained lavishly by Sultan Hadji Mahommed Jamalul Kiram, who showered with glfts and finally declared his wish to make Miss Roogevelt the sultana of the Sulu archipelago, He insisted that his people were unanimous in thelr desire that she re- main among them. Miss Roosevelt, however, returned- home to become the wife of Congressman Nicholas Longworth, another member of the party. Live Wire Kills Instantly. St. Paul, June 21.—Oscar Munson, twenty-five years old, an employe of the White Bear Electric company, was instantly killed when he came in con- tact with a live wire which shot 15, 000 volts through his body. The soles of his shoes were burned from his feet and the parts of his body which came Jn contact with the wire were burned lo a crisp. CONGRESSMAN SPERRY, Dean of House Has Kind Words for Uncle Joe Cannon. STANDS BY SPEAKER CANNON Dean of the House Says Uncle Joe Is an Honest Man. New Haven, Conn., June 21.—“Un- Cannon will be re-elected to it he will consent to rum,” says a statement by Congressman Nehemiah D. Sperry of this city, dean of the houvse of representatives. The statement published here says: “Cannoa is an honest man and his Illinois district will stand by him. ‘Whether he will be re-elected speaker or not will depend upon the majority the Republicans get in the fall elec- tions. The Republicans will control the next house without a doubt,” Asked what the “insurgents” would do Congressman Sperry said: “No- body on earth can tell.” IN PERIL FOR THREE HOURS Girl In Balloon Buffeted About by Fierce Storm. St. Louis, June 21.—After battling with the elements for three hours Miss Julia Hoerner fulfilled her determina- tion to be the first woman to pilot a balloon in a pleasure flight. She made the ascension shortly be- fore 5 o'clock in the afternoon and within a half hour a heavy electrical storm arose. The balloon, Melba IIL, was swept backward and forward at an altitude of 1,600 feet in the clouds and finally she was compelled to ap- peal to her aide, John Berry, to help her to make the descent. The land- ing was made nine miles from St. Louis. APPROPRIATIONS ARE CUT Governor Hughes Vetoes a Number of Items in Supply Bills. Albany, N. June 21.—By vetoing various financ measures and cutting out items in the annual appropriation and supply bills Governor Hughes has reduced the annual New York state appropriations by nearly $5,000,000. Appropriation bills passed by the state legislature this year totalled $46,570,500. After they had been blue penciled by the governor and exelud- ing $2,655,600 contributed to the sink- ing funds the total has been reduced to $39,601,200, a saving of $4,713,700. The appropriations last year amount- ed to $36,242,100. Taft Invited to St. Paul. St. Paul, June 21.—President Taft may be a guest of the city of St. Paul on the occasion of the League of American Municipalities convention, which is to meet here Aug. 247 Her- bert Keller, mayor of St. Paul, has sent a letter to the president inviting him to come. It is possible that the invitation will be accepted. Minneapolis Man Electrocuted. Minneapolis, June 21.—Edward Ma- fore, aged twenty-six, came into con- tact with a live wire at the plant of the St. Croix Falls Improvement com- pany at New ,Brighton and was in- stantly killed. Desirable Contributions. Bulzer—Pennster told wme that the best magazines were clamoring for his contributions. Knolorham—No won- der. He writes full page ads.—Lippin- cott's.

Gently Broken. “You were a long time in the far cor- ner of the conservatory last evening,” suggested the mother. *“What was go- ing on?” “Do you remember the occasion on which you became engaged to papa?” Inquired the daughter by way of reply. “Of course I do.” “Then it ought not to be necessary for you to ask any questions.” Thus gently the news was broken that they were to have a son-in-law.

Jefferson City, Mo., June 21.—Attor- mey General Elliott J. Major began ouster proceedings against five meat packing companies by filing quo war- ranto informations in the supreme court. The companies attacked are the Armour Packing company, Morris & Co., Swilt & Co., Hammond Pack- ing company and St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision company. The Armour, Swift and Morris com- panies are charged with violating the anti-trust law and conspiracy and the Hammbnd and St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision companies, as subsid- fary companies of the National Pack~ Ing company, with conspiracy to control the business in Missourl. The five companies are named in two petitions which ask that the cor- porations be excluded from all cor- porate rights, that their license be for- feited and that all or such portion of their property as the court may deem proper be confiscated or in leu there- of a fine be imposed. Armour, Swift and Morrls are charged with having entered into a conspiracy in 1909 to control the prices to be paid by dealers In live stock, poultry, butter, eggs, dairy and agricultural products, to control the prices to be paid by retail and whole- sale dealers for dressed meats and to control the prices to be paid by all retail and wholesale dealers for but- ter, eggs, poultry, game, dairy and ag- ricultural products and by-products from the business of slaughtering live stock. Branded an” Unlawful Trust. “In pursuance of an unlawful trust,” the petition says, “the corporations have met and agreed upon and fixed from week to week and day to day, an agreed price paid and to be paid by all persons for live stock and products which should be purehased, sold or of- fered for sale in Missouri, that the prices at which the products were to be sold were unlawfully fixed by means of which competition in the purchase and sale of meat products has been lessened, restricted and de- stroyed.” The second count of the petition charges that the three packing com- panies conspired to restrain trade and destroy competition in the purchase and sale of meat products, live stock, poultry, butter and eggs, by fixing a price to be paid by all the members of the alleged agreement, and coh- spiring to control the business of buy- ing, selling and dealing in packing house products. “The National Packing company,” the petition says, “was not organized in good faith for the purpose of en- gaging in the business authorized by its charter, but as a corporate scheme to effect an unlawful trust among the Hammond and St. Louis Dressed Beef and Provision companies, and numer- ous other corporations, individuals and partnerships engaged in the same business.” . Orchestral Oversights. The snare drummer happened to catch a selection that called for the use of half a dozen or more instruments. To make the shift from one to an- other he had to hustle in a fashion that nightly impressed persons sitting near. ‘When he had finished the lively opera- tion he was puffing and blowing and the perspiration was coming out in streams. A man just outside the or- chestra rall leaned forward and, point- ing to the score, remarked: “That was good work, old man, but you missed one place.” “I aid!” responded the drummer in surprise. “Why, I thought I played everything that came my way.” “No,” the other resumed, “you didn’t do everything, and I saw the leader glance at you. Right there, in the mid- dle of that measure, 1s a place where it says you should have gone down cellar and shaken the furnace, and you didn’t pay any attention to 1t.”—Prov- 1dence Journal. 8uiting His Theory. “When I hear of a new theory,” sald a sclentist, “I am reminded of the two geologists. ,At a certaln summer re- gort one brilllant afterhoon the young- er geologist from his bedroom window saw the older man rolling a great rock down the side of a mountain. “He watched the work for mnearly three hours. The old geologist, thin and little and white whiskered, had a hard time of it to guide that rock al- most as big as bimself. But he per- severed. He got the rock down where he wanted it just as the dinner bell rang. “The younger man sald to him won- deringly at dinner: “‘What were you doing with that rock this afternoon, professor? * “*Why," the professor answered, ‘the fact is the thing was 600 feet too high to suit my theory.’” = Willing to End the Company. A Chicago man who once permitted himself to be persuaded to back a the- | atrical company was seated in his of- fice one day when he received a tele- gram from the wanager of the show. The troupe ‘was sgpmewhere in Mis- sourd, and the telegram read thus: “Train wrecked this morning and all scenery and baggage destroyed. No member of company injured. What shall I do?" The answer gent back by the Chicago man was as follows: “Try another wreck and bave thl company ride in the bunn - Ghicuo Recor When w-klno Up.: ; nere is a bit of information it will pay you to keep ready for reference, though you will perhaps turn up your nose at it at the first reading: “How to wake up and wake up fully -and quickly.

Sald the privileged friend, a military man of the premier duke's own age: “Why, duke, what's come to your clothes? You look as if you had raked over your rag bag to find them!” The duke replied, with a shrug: “What does it matter what I wear here? No one knows me!” A few months later the same friend, himself always a well dressed man, met the duke again, pot- tering about in the neighborhood of Arundel, the delightful Sussex village under a hill crowned by the castle from whose name the eldest son of a Duke of Norfolk always takes his “courtesy” title—Earl of Arundel. “Why, duke” sald his friend again, “what’s the matter with your clothes?" The duke shrugged his shoulders again, “What does it matter what I wear here? Every one knows me!” German Lotteries. In an article on the lotteries the Ber- lner Tageblatt says there are three 'ways by which wealth is acquired—by work, which is long and tedious; by dishonesty, which is a precarious pro- ceeding, and by gambling. The num- ber of persons who prefer the last named method, says the writer, is large in the German redlm, for thére the great lotteries thrive best. There are seven of these under the manage- ment of the government, and they dis- tribute $160.000,000 in prizes. The anx- fety to secure a part of this amount has destroyed the happiness of thou- sands of households and has diverted thousands of good men from honest Industry and thrift to idleness and poverty. In the seven lotteries there are about 22,000 svinners a year, but of these only about 650 receive prizes of more than 1,000 marks each. How the Culprit Was Detected. Of a certain Harrow master whom Mr. Tollemache in his reminiscences refers to as Mr. Y. the following story is told. Dr. Vaughan was master of Harrow at the time: “Mr. Y.—I am sorry, Dr. Vaughan, to have to report to you two of your monlitors for drinking. Dr. V.—This is a very serfous charge. When and where did it- happen? Mr. Y.—This afternoon in a public house in Pinner. Dr. V.—Did you catch them. flagrante delieto? Mr. Y.—No, Dr. Vaughan, I was in my study. Dr: V.—But surely you cannot possibly have seen from your study to Pinner? Mr. Y.—I have a strong telescope, Dr. Vaughan. Dr. "—But how can you tell that it was not water they were drinking? Mr. Y. —It was gin and water. ‘I noticed a sediment of sugar at the bottom of their glasses. Botween Tears and Laughter. “Do you ever think, George, dear,” sald she, and her voice was soft and 10w, as befitted the perfect beauty of the night, “do you ever think how closely true happiness is allled with tears?” “I don’t believe I ever do,” admitted George dear, “but I will, if you like.” “Yes,” she went on, gazing up into his face, and her lips were very close to his, “when one is truly and wholly happy, George, dear, there s but little to divide.a smile and a tear.” “Well, that's a fact,”” assented George dear. “But I never thought of it before, After all, there’s nothing but the nose.”—London Answers, e AT A One Sided Complaint. “This is the seventeenth time I've seen you before me in the dock,” sald a magistrate, looking at a prisoner sternly. “Yes.

Extract of Knowledge. An article on “Examination Humor” in a perlodical called Normal Echoes contains some good “howlers.” They are none the less interesting for com- ing from students in training for teach- ers. A criticlsm of William Blake that “as a child he was precocious in po- etry, but in later years it developed intc dogmatism,” 1s a lesson in the art of being Inarticulate, while the remark that “the works of the time were most- ly satyrs” Is quaint, though obvious. Of course there Is boggling over proper names. There is nothing, Indeed, sc good as the description of Cromwell as “a man with coarse features and having a large red nose, with deep re- Hglous convictions beneath,” or the case of the “lapsed man” who, having by way of exception attended church, admitted to the rector’s wife that he had benefited, for he had learned that Sodom and Gomorrah were two citles, whereas he had always thought they were man and wife. — Manchester Guardian. Fat and Disease. If the Medical Record Is right, man is pursulng in the matter of bodily ‘weight what is bad for him, a common trick, and woman pines for a physical ideal that would mean long life if achieved, something rare indeed for women to do. Most men struggle to be fat. Most women diet to be lean. Dr. Brandreth Symonds draws from a study of life Insurance weights that people past the age of thirty live long- er if below normal weight than they do if at or above standard. Heart dis- ease Is as rare among the underfat as it 18 common with the heavy fu.., and this is true also of Bright's disease, apoplexy, paralysis, cerebral conges- tions and cirrhosis of the liver. Only in pneumonia and tuberculosis do the underweights carry a greater risk. In all the cases which he examined Dr. Symonds found not a single fat man who reached the age of eighty years, while forty-four short weights passed this mark. ‘The Best Pride. A titled Englishman while in New- port talked most entertainingly to a group of ladles about ancestral pride. “Aucestral pride 4s an excellent thing,” he said, “but there are better things. We have long felt in Great Britain that there are better things. 1 heard the sentiment rather neatly ex- pressed last season by a duchess, Hers is a great family, but she was talking to a young marquis whose family is incomparably greater. He s a rather ‘worthless, lazy, dissipated young mar- quis, and-he boasted to the duchess about his people. “¢I am very proud of my ancestry, you know,’ he ended. “‘Yes,’ sald the duchess, ‘and you have cause to be, but I wonder how your ancestry would feel about you? ” The Right Bone. “Fred, dear, 1 feel it In my bones that you are going to take me to the theater tonight.” “Which bone, darling?” “I'm not sure, but I think it's my wishbone!” ansas City Independent.

The plece of mechanism by which the needle is manufactured takes the rough steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths, fites the point, flattens the head, plerces the eye, then sharpens the tiny instrument and gives it that polish familiar to the purchaser. There 1s also a machine by which needles are counted and placed In the papers in which they are sold, these being after- ward folded by the same contrivance.” It Was All Within. A practical joker carrled an onfon in his pocket to the depot when bid- ding farewell to a young lady and took a Dbite now and then to induce tears.
