i NEWolES; ARMY STANDS TREAT Variety Program at Army Tent Topped Off with Refreshments Finds Ap- preciation Among Boys Oodles of treats and barrels of joy, The mayor and the preacher and oth- ers, oh, boy! And not a lad missing, for all heard; the call— ‘There was ice cream and popcorn and peanuts for all. Talk about your wide-awake citi- zens of Casper all you like, but the hundred news-merchants that gath-/ ered in the Salvation Army gospel tent last night had everything on the livest “wires” that ever was—-and they are Casper’s future citizens, if you please. It was the “newsies’” exclusive night, and the Salvationists had ar- ranged a big program for the boys and topped it off with enough treats to make everyone happy. Mayor J. F, Leeper, called “the newboy’s friend,” was chairman of the whole show, and no Mayor as far as from here to Timbuctoo ever made a greater hit with the young citizens than he. Rev. R. H. Moorman, the biggest and nicest-looking boy of the! crowd, won nearly one hundred little | friends right off the bat, with his “reg- Sylvester Grant sang to them as if} they were all mothers sons going off to the trenches.

Then) there was little Hazel and Dale Moore. who made a tremendous hit with their lively song about Uncle Sam’s} making the Germans dance right off the floor. ‘ Who knows George Smith? Well, he got in on the program in some way —and now we recommend him for the Chautauqua. Finally, Mr. McGil- lis, news merchant extraordinary, told the lads how to make money and a—what is it, “reputation,” selling Casper’s dailies. Thus ended what we would call a gala festival for the newsboys. LATE FROSTS NO IURY TO CROPS Prospects in Corn Belt Presages Record Breaking Harvest Despite Conditions By C. A. EMITH (Omaha Union Stock Yards) The government report on the corn shows a condition somewhat higher than last year in the face of late frosts and drought conditions report- ed from various sections. In 1917 the acreage of corn grown was the largest in the his- tory of the country, 119,755,000 acl compared with 105,672,000 acres, the average for 1911-1915. The production in 1917 was 3,159,- 000,000 bushels, the greatest yield ever recorded; but a large part of the crop was soft and the net feed_ ing value was cut, ular fellow” talk.
