The Crop Situation.

The crop situation in the mount
aims to the south has been i'm
proved lately since the summer
rains have commenced, thus in
suring large crop of tubers and
also a good crop of hay. 1t looks
as if this will be prosperous
year for the farmers of this vicin-
ity, The farmers residing on
what is known as the eastern
slope, east of Peck creek, about
twenty miles south and east of
here, have just finished harvesting
the largest alfalfa crop that has
been raised there for years, the
crop yielding on an average two
and half tons per acre. This
may seem strange when it is stat
ed that the crop WAS matured with
out irrigation. The spring rains
were considerable heavier there
than here, OF course the second
crop will not be as large as the
first,

monthly reports of the number of

textile, coal, chemical, cement and
various other industries are more
or less seriously affected by the
prevailing stagnation. He says if
these conditions continue, they are

the village, and he was called Lot,

More than 100000 visitors are expect

ing the week, and 1t is the aim OF the
citizens of Cleveland to make 1t red
letter event in the history of the town
Free quarters have been provided for
from 25, 900 to 10000 veterans in school
houses and halls, similar to the plan
adopted by Chicago, and which worked
so successfully last year.
The Forest City is a place OF ar
mories and monuments, and has many
points of historic interest. Foremost
among these is the tomb of the late
President Garfield, whose home was In
Mentor, only twenty-four miles from
Cleveland. The mausoleum is located
in Lake View cemetery, on a high
piece of ground, and is the Mecca OF
many visitors to the city. The statue
of Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry
the hero of the battle of Lake Erie In
the war of 1872, was dedicated Sep
TENDER 10, 1860, the anniversary OF
Perry's great victory. Some years age
it was removed from the public square
where it had been originally placed
and taken to a beautiful spot in Wade
park, where it now stands.
In the very heart of the business Sec
ton of the city stands one of the
grandest soldiers monuments in the
United States. Within its walls are
relics of wars and the names OF de-
parted heroes chiseled in the marble
surroundings. This monument will nc
doubt be one of the greatest attractions
at the encampment and will doubtless
be visited by every veteran in attend
ance.
Located but two blocks from the
public square is the Central armory, a
large and magnificent building, where
campfires by the veterans will be held.
II will also be a principal headquar-
tiers for the Grand Army.

From girlhood she has been stanch
advocate of the idea that commercial

nized as the equal of man. In 1888 she
began the serious battle for this idea
She was chosen president of the State
Equal Rights Association in that year
and appeared in Frankfort with GER

to have passed. At first politicians
laughed the matter away but ere long
they found occasion to review their
opinion of the equal rights propaganda.
They passed some of the bills and
thought that ended the matter, but the
next session found the women lobby
ing as actively as ever Bills were
passed going a step further, and now

Association is one of the fixtures at

perfecting veterans organization.
The first post was formed at Decatur,
ILL.,. on the evening of April 8, 1866
and this, with two posts established at
Springfield, adopted the principles
which have been the cardinal doctrines
of the organization. Ever since the
first national convention in 1S66-the
annual gatherings were not officially
styled "encampments" until the follow
ing year-the Grand Army has play
ed an important role in the history OF
the nation. It has done much for the
relief of its own members. 1t has done
much for charity, and it should not
be forgotten that in several instances
this charity-notably during the times
of the Mississippi valley yellow fever
outbreaks and the Charlestown earth
quake-was directed to the relief OF
former enemies. But most of all 1t
has been a beneficial factor in keeping
alive the sentiments Of loyalty and
patriotism.
