ESTIMATES published that the wheat
crop Of the United States will be
somewhat short and the seemingly
creditable reports from Europe OF a
shortage in the crop there, have and
ed in advancing prices OF staples,
notably wheat. says an exchange. II
begins to appear that this year there
will be Il great demand for American
food products abroad, and that the
export trade will continue to far ex-
coed imports. Estimates OF the
wheat Weld this season are neceSsarl'
" subject to change, but the best au-
thorities agree that the severe winter
will cause shortness. An expert
saws: "a conservative wheat
crop indication is $50, 100000 bush

the past six years by commercial eS,
Inmates. is 533, 100000 bushels and

AIRsHIp MAKES A LONG TRIP.


An airship went ION tear" one night
recently on its own account. 1t trav-
eled 600 miles in less than IL hours,
went to sea on one wind, returned on
another and finally turned up much
the worse for wear in tree at McKees-
port, Pa.
Many people of Trenton and Hamil-
ton Square saw q red light and a white
light shooting across the dark sky. DR..
Pearson W. Yard, Of Trenton, watched
the lights through powerful night
glasses. He made out that they were
on either side Of cigar-shaped.a air
ship, which quickly sailed out Of his
view. That night the airship, headed
TO the southwest, was seen over the
lower part of Trenton, NJ.
The flying machine is the invention
and property of Lieut.. G. S. Nirdlinger.
of the Fourth Virginia volunteers, who
lives in Philadelphia. Lieut.. Nirdlinger
invented some remarkable kites, and
has leave of absence to try to perfect
his airship for military purposes. The
ship was moored outside n shop Il
Avalon, \. j. In high wind it broke
away. The gallant lieutenant started
in pursuit, on earth, of course.
He traced his wandering flyer tc
Trenton. followed it across the state t.
the coast, gave it up for lost, was
much rejoiced to learn that it had re-
turned in west wind from over the
Atlantic. pursued it to Pennsylvania,
End finally caught up at McKeespor-.
where il had landed in tree. 1t start
ed from Avalon at 5:45 o'clock Sunday.
and wound up at McKeesport at seven
o'clock a. m Monday.

They are coming to New York city

association q hearty welcome and will
provide during the evening sessions q
high class Of entertainments. Speakers

by going to Spokane and attending the
annual convention, thus proving that we
are alive to our best interests and show
ing that We are a progressive, up-to-date
class of men. Large delegations from
