shows an average condition of winter
wheat which is higher by 9.3 per cent.
than was the average year ago The
deterioration since December has been
only 4.S per cent. as compared with a
decline of 10 per cent, during the cor

prospect for full production in those
States. On the whole, the April crop
report is much more encouraging than

attempted to enter the home Of Mrs.
Julia Wilson on Federal street, by
up the porch to the roof and
was about TO get into the room Of
Misses Mary and Ehelyne, when they
were awakened by his footsteps and
gave the alarm. As they ran from
their room to that of their mother and
Miss Mamie, ON the opposite side of
the hall. the man ran along the roof
