THERE is nothing wrong with the
Mills bill except the label on it. If
the prescription had been prepared by
Doctor Mckinley instead of Doctor

mate of the corn crop of the country.
The Price Current is accepted as the
highest unofficial authority on this
subject, and its conclusions therefore
are of special interest.
It's general conclusion is that the
present seasons crop will reach the
total of 2,O15, 900, 900
bushels. The largest crop ever before
gathered was 1896, lie, $50 bushels in
1885, as officially reported or 78, ,224, 600

bushels over last year means plenty of
