BIG CORN CROP SAID TO NOW BE ASSURED Washington, D C.—Recovery of the corn crop during August from the serious damage sustained from July weather conditions featured the Sep- tember grain report of the department of agriculture today Favored with good growing temperatures and plenty of rain in practically the entire corn belt, the production forecast made a Jump of 164,000,000 bushels, bringing the indicated production to 3,186,000,- 000 bushels, or only 48,000,000 bushels less than last year’s crop, the largest grown. With continued favorable conditions this year’s production may yet be- come a record crop. Indications are that most of the crop is now out of danger from frost The wheat crop showed a decline of 3,000,000 bushels, with 754,000,000 | bushels indicated as this year’s har vest. Oats will be a short crop, the indicated production having declined 7,000,000 bushels during August, with a crop of 1,090,000,000 bushels forecast. | That is 436,000,000 bushels smaller than last year’s crop and 143,000,000 ‘ bushels less than the five-year aver- age. Potatoes showed an increase of 1,- 000,000 bushels over a month ago, with | a total of 323,000,000 bushels, but the crop is almost 100,000,000 smaller than | that of last year and almost 5,000,000 bushels below the five-year average. | | BRIEF GENERAL NEWS | _ Babe Ruth tied his own world’s ree- ford for home runs when he poled out | his fifty-fourth of the season. | Delegates from every state in the |} union attended the annual national | convention of the United Spanish War | Veterans at Minneapolis, September 12 | to 15. | The pocketbook of the average | American held 69 cents less in August | than in July, according to the monthly | circulation statement issued by the treasury.

H. Sabin, J. L. Rep- logle, Frank A. Munsey, T. J. Felder and other American business men. The transaction concerns the vast land and industrial holdings of the Hapsburgs, distributed throughout Aus- tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Jugo-Slavia, Po- land, Roumania and Italy. They in- clude the great steel works and mines in Teschen, partly in Czecho-Slovakia, and partly in Poland. The estate com- prises other industries, Including the dairies near Vienna, sugar plantations, factories, apartment houses, palaces and other private property in Vienna, castles, about 1,000,000 acres of land and the Albertina museum in Vienna. Archduke Frederick was a field marshal and was commander-in-chief of the Austro-Hungarian armies in the war. His grandfather was a nephew of Emperor Francis I. He is the un- cle of King Alphonse of Spain. His sister was queen of Bavaria. Thus, a considerable part of the property came from the Saxon house. This is regarded as important by the American syndicate, because the prop- erties were not part of the possessions ‘of the Austrian crown, but came to the Archduke from other sources, 24 PERSONS ARE DROWNED Five Seriously Injured in Collapse of | Bridge at Chester, Pa. | Chester, Pa.—Twenty-four persons were drowned and five seriously injur- ed in the colla,se of the bridge span- ning the Chester river at Third street, in the business district. A small wrought iron gusset plate, part of the support for a foot path along the structure, which had been half eaten by rust, gave way under | the weight of nearly a hundred per- }sons who were attracted by the cries of a drowning boy. There was a terrible struggle. Good swimmers were unable to break the grasp of those who could not remain afloat and were dragged down. Oth- ers were crushed in the collapse of offering their services to the highest ‘¢ footpath. ‘OU will know Vacuum Cup Cord Tires by their distinctive jet black tread — the tread that is guaranteed not to skid on wet, oil-treach- Their generous oversize, carefully inspected construc- tion and highest quality ma- terials warrant their being guaranteed — per warranty tag attached to each casing— Safe, wear-resisting, attrac- tive, reasonably priced. ee De Remember---we give away free of charge with each Pennsylvania tire, a tube Cottonwood Hwd.
