consideration of claims and to simplify
proceedings to the end that unnecessa-

The Wheat Crop.

In the course of an article on the wheat
crop. the Philadelphia Press says: AS
TO the wheat countries, they seemed to be
reduced t9 one this year, the United
States of America. Australia is already
buying wheat and sending gold to San
Francisco. Argentine and India will
have no exportable surplus and that of
Russia will be largely reduced. With
the home demand increased by reason of
a short rye crop, in such circumstances
the task of supplying the consuming
countries will fall heavily on this coun-
try. Suppose our crop is 550,eo,00O
bushels, the highest estimate, and sup
pose we go out of the crop year with the
ordinary reserves, what will our surplus
be? If the home consumption and re-
quirements for seed are five bushels per
capita, there will be absorbed for these
purposes $40, ,O0O, 600 bushels or more, and
if the reserve is increased 100000 BUSH
els out of this crop there will be but l40,-
000,01 bushels for export, or little less
than in the last year. If there should
be no increase in the reserve we would
have, say, IS0,Oo0,0O0 bushels for export.
II the Governments July crop report is
taken for a basis the exportable surplus
would not he more than a0,0D0Do bush
| els.
But in any event the crop year promis-
es to bs a most favorable one. There
will be at least an average crop in this
country, and with the heavy foreign
demand a larger portion of it than usual
will be marketed. In 1896 the average
export price was a little more than 10
cents. and in 1895 il was less than IS cents
per bushel. At the beginning Of this ex-
port season the price of wheat is 20 cents
higher than at the same period last year.
This means great advantage to the farm
er, who viii at once and throughout the
whole year realize better prices for his
crop. The total value of wheat and -four
exports on this basis will be about $780,
100000, even if the exports are no greater
| in quality than in the last year.

What Do the Children Drink,

Don't give them tea or coffee. Have you
tried the new food drink called Grain o!
It is delicious and nourishiag and takes
the place of coffee. The more Grain-O
you give the children the more health
you distribute through their systems.
Grain-O is made of pure grains, and when
properly prepared tastes like the choice
grades Of coffee but costs about Ias much.
All grocers sell ii. l5c and 25c.

SOMEBODY has expressed anxiety lest
Mr.. Bryan and his followers should
have difficulty in finding something to
say in the present campaigns. They
will have plenty on their hands, how
ever, if they attempt to explain how it
is that wheat has gone up 2S cents per
bushel since last falls campaign, while
silver has dropped 10 cents an ounce in
the same period.

'IF you have plenty of strength and

from the history of similar attacks.
Some will make fortunes, but suffering,
privation, failure and death will mark

now propose that the girl shall fast s
week, then with a piece of meat placed in

skipped 20 Ohio 70 escape service from

from that State conducted their business.
Going 10 Ohio 10 escape arrest will not
work this time, and Oleo must take the
back track. The prosecution Of these

that the law will be made odious and
then perhaps its repeal will follow, and

purchaser knows what he is buying.
