GOVERNMENT CROP. REPORT.

"A Difference III Opinion as to the Hest Ttme
of Giving It Out.
The following has been forwarded to the
department Of agriculture:
The New York produce exchange and
Milwaukee chamber of commerce, Chicago
board of trade, have made formal request
of Statistician Dodge for q change from 4
to 1 O'Clock p. H., in the hour of delivery
of the crop report synopsis. on the 10th Of
each month. The st. Louis Merchants
Exchange earnestly pray the request of the
Chicago board may not be granted. dsenl-
lug it opposed to the good of the trade, and
holding that as values are largely affected
by this report an opportunity il offered to
INSCRIPTIONS persons. to manufacture aud
give out false information in their own in
terest, citing the instance when y telegram
to the exchange stated that the govern
ment report of wheat made condition G6,
and 2O minutes later the official report
showed 1913. The exchange requests it's
issue at midnight. to he made public first
in the morning papers. The Toledo pro-
duce exchange also desires the synopsis at
midnight. The Detroit board of trade pro-
tests against a change from 4 o'clock. The
Baltimore corn and flour exchange are also
opposed to q change Of the hour of issue"
In view Of this disagreement u change
does not appear to be practicable. A change
to 4 O'Clock, the present hour, was made at
the request of several of the trade organi-
cations. The time of midnight, however,
Is impracticable, as not coming within the
authorized hours Of official service.

The latest sensation in New York so.
ciety circles is Il very we'll authenticated
report that Mrs. james Brown Potter,
after the close of her present season in
Australia, will retire from the stage, and
once more throw herself into the still ex-
tended arms of her patient and long suf-
fering husband. There have been numer-
GUS rumors to this effect ever since she
abandoned her luxurious home for the
footlights. but this time, at least, the story
comes from a source and is supported by
facts which place it beyond cavil. Mrs.
Potter has had decidedly the worst of it
since the commencement of the Australian
tour, and the indications are that by the
time she is ready to sail for home there
will be a balance on the wrong side of her
cash account running up into big figures.
If, moreover, private advices from Aus
tralia are to be relied on, she has had more
than her fill of the attentions and influence
of kyrle Bellew, and is more than ready to
throw that very smooth and Sinking gem

climax to the report, it is said that MIR.
Potter, who has always stood by and de.
Tended his cratic wife, is ready to forgive
and forget, and restore her 10 the family
Preside just as soon as he is satisfied that
she has thrown both the footlights and
MIR. Bellew over for good and all.

POOR

Distress Prevalent Among the Resilents-
A Recommendation From the President.
The president has sent to congress
a letter from Gov. Steel, of Oklahoma,
representing that distress prevails among
the residents of that territory and requests
ing that the attention of congress be called
to the fact. The president in transmitting
the letter says: Conformation received by
me- from other sources leads me to believe
that the governor is altogether right in his
impression that there will be, unless re-
lief is afforded, widespread suffering among
the settlers in Oklahoma. Many Of the
people expended in travel and in providing
shelter for their families all their accumu-
lated means. The crop prospects for this
year are. by reason of the drouth, uu-
favorable and the ability of the people of
the territory to provide relief must be i'm
adequate during this year. 1 am advised
hat there is an u%nexpended balance Of
$4,000 of the fund appropriated for the
relief of the Mississippi flood sufferers,
and l recommend that the authority be-
given to use this fund to meet the most
urgent necessities of the poorer people in
Oklahoma"

Saved nom the Robbers.

Some years ago q prominent railroad
builder of Warsaw, Poland, expert
enced n of the most remarkable
marrow escapes" on record. He was
employing several thousand laborers
along the line of a railway then under
construction, and as there were few
banks in the provincial towns of Po-
land in those days, he was compelled
to carry with him large sums of money
from headquarters on his regular trips
to pay off his hands. He usually
drew the amount he needed from the
Bank Of Poland on the day before his
departure. keeping the money over
night in his own safe, which he con
sidered q perfectly secure depository
for these funds, as the art Of safe-
cracking was not yet very exclusively
known at that time.
One afternoon. as he was engaged
IN counting and arranging the money
he had just drawn from the bank,
some n called him into the outer
office on some urgent business. Nj.
- threw q newspaper on the bank
notes which he had spread out on his
safe. and stepped out. expecting to he
back directly. On his return q few
minutes later he very carefully locked
his safe and went home.
When he entered his office about six
O'Clock the next morning to get the
money from the safe. he was terror
stricken on finding that the safe had
been broken open and its valuable
contents were missing. Detectives
were called at once, but when they AZ
rived and started to make a careful
survey Of the premises they found all
the money lying intact on the safe,
still covered with the newspaper which
the contractor had thrown over it the
day before. he had forgotten to put
the money into the safe before locking
the latter, and the burglars never
thought Of looking anywhere else for
valusbles, but took the few hundred
rubles they found in the safe and de-
parted. His forgetfulness saved the
contractor about eighty thousand
