CROP CONDITIONS.
Reported by the Weather Bu-
reau at Washington.

Washington, Sept. 2S.-The follow
ing summary of the climate and crop
conditions. throughout the country
has been given out by the weather bu-
reau:
The week ending September &c has
been one of exceptionally favorable
temperature conditions for the ma
turing of crops generally throughout
the country. No frosts were reported
from the states of the central valleys,
but light frosts. causing no serious
damage, occurred in portions Of New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania
on the 2lst. Heavy rains delayed farm
work in portions of the lower Mis-
souri, and lower Ohio valleys, and
proved injurious in the central gulf
states, while drought conditions con-
tinue unbroken in portions of Mime
sofa. On the Pacific coast~he weather
conditions have been generally favor
able in Washington and Oregon, while
rains, ranging from onefourth to more
than one inch, fell over, the greater
part of northern and central Califor-
MIA, causing injury to raisins and I'M.
thrashed grain Such 'fains are very
unusual in California at this season,
and while causing some injury will
prove beneficial in replenishing the
water supply.
Except in northern Missouri, where
considerable late corn needs ten days
favorable weather in which to mature,
the corn crop is now practically safe
from frost, and much has been cut.
Heavy rains in the lower Mississippi
valley have damaged open cotton and
interfered with picking. Over the east
ern portion of the cotton region the
weather has been more favorable. and
picking is progressing rapidly. Pick
ing has also progressed rapidly in
Texas, where the crop is reported as
irregular, being good in places and
poor in others. Reports throughout
the cotton belt generally indicate that
the top crop will be very inferior and
in some places total failure.
The tobacco crop has been secured.
with the exception of a small part
of the late crop in Maryland, Virginia
and Tennessee.
The soil conditions generally
throughout the country, east of the
Rocky mountains. are highly favorable
for blowing and seeding, Minnesota be-
ing the only state in which the ground
has been too dry for this work. The re-
ports generally indicate that fall sowr
grain has terminated quickly and is
coming up to good stands.

THE APPARENT REASON.
She Readily Accounted for the Con-
Stant we"ripg of the
Hafos.

Dotty sat on stool beside her mother
looking at the pictures in an old church
book: There were angels and cherubim
and harpists galore, and in them the child
found much to interest her. The last pic.
ture in the book was of dozen or more
angels floating on the clouds. Above the
head Of each shone the symbolic halo. Those
halos bothered Dotty. She had never seen
such head dress'and she was perplexed.
After inmates thought she held the book
up to her mother and said: See, mamma,
the ladies what's got wings and funny things
on their heads"
dear she said.
and what's the funny rings on their
heads, mammal" the child asked.
Those are halos, Dotty."
Does they wear them always, mamma :?
Does all angels wear them
'Yes, Dotty. All angels wear them and
they wear them all the time"
When they's in the house,"
yes, Dotty."
When they's asleep"
"Yes."
Il guess they wears their halos all the
time, mamma, cause they're afraid if they
took 'em off and hung 'em on the hat rack
they'd get broke, don't y?'-Detroit Free
