in our larger towns, at least, have shown
their respect for the law creating Labor
Day by observing it.

counts the narrow escape from death

They were moving from one hotel to

storm began. The hotel they had just
left was completely demolished, and the ;
one they had just entered had the roof
blown off and the upper stories dis
troyed. Fortunately, Mr.. and Mrs.
Dentler were on the lower floor, not
having had time to move in their apart
ments above.
Consul Atwell reports from Rouboux, {
France, that the conditions for an abun- I
daHt wheat crop were most favorable
early in the season, but the heavy fall of
rain toward the end of June and early in
July had somewhat modified this pros (
pect. He says several of the most pro- +.
ductive districts will suffer diminutlon {
of at least ten per cent, but this will be
offset in part by increased production in
other sections. Taking the government ,
estimate of 37l ,77S,0OO bushels as
basis, he says the production may be {
counted at 354,750,0O0 or 36S, $40, 900 /
bushels, if the weather is favorable for
harvesting. To this estimate $4,000, 900 ,
to AZ 900, 900 bushels are added as repre- .
senting the reserve on hand.
