Every effort to get the participants

ately after the conference for Wilkes

whether the conference was satisfac-
tory to him and the district presi-
dents. While no official information
can be had, it is believed Gov. Stone
and his colleagues submitted prOpC-
sitiOn to Mitchell, which will tend to

WILSON'S CROP TALK
Secretary of Agriculture Says
There Is Nothing the Mat
ter with the Fields.
MILLIONS DEPENDING ON THE CORN
Determines the Price of
Beefsteak.

Washington, Sept. i3. - Secretary
Wilson, who returned Thursday night
from a trip through the west, yes
terday summarized the agricultural
conditions i'll the states he visited.
These states included Nebraska, Kan
sas, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio.
He said there was Il great abundance
of crops generally in that region.
There will be good corn crop" he
said. Corn now is substantially out
of the way of the frost. The corn
crop in parts of Kansas. Nebraska and
Indiana are probably the finest on rec
ord. There has been more hundreds of
millions of dollars depedning on the
fipening of this crop this year than
the ordinary person has ever realized
Crop Little Late. but All Right.
While the crop is Il little bit late,
any danger of its failure can now be
considered over. The crop is u good
one. While it may not be record
breaker the quality of the corn is
splendid. and with the exception of the
southern states the yield per acre is
very heavy. In the south the dreuth
mas somewhat affected the corn crop.
Wheat Also Very Fine.
The wheat crop of the west this
year is also very fine. and what may
be considered as really the most i'm
portant crop of aIl-the grass crop
is exceedingly good. The census tells
us there has, been great increase
during the past ten years in the num-
Der of cattle in the United States
This information. taken together with
the fine crop of grass insures lower
prices of meat.
Cheap Meat Is a Dead One.
Il don't believe the price of meat,
however, will ever be as low as it
has been in the past, for the simple
reason that the American people are
more prosperous than ever before and
are eating more than ever before
However, the exceedingly high prices
of meat will be thing of the past
as soon as the present feeders get
fattened up to Il beef condition. An
other thing that will tend to keep the
price of meat Il little above the former
lower price is the demand of England
for our meats

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Mgr.
Falconio, who has been appointed
to succeed Mgr. Martinelli as apos-
tolic delegate to the United States,
is expected to arrive in Washington
before the end of the week to as
sumo the duties of his new position.
His coming is looked forward to
with no little interest in diplomatic
and official circles. Society, how
ever, has nothing to expect from
the newcomer, as it is not at all
probable that he will grace any
function of social character with
his presence.
In this respect he will follow
closely the example set by his pre-
decessors, Cardinal Satolli and
Mgr. Martinelli. In fact, he is eX-
pected to be seen even less in pub
lie than his predecessors for as a
member of the Augustian order he
is forbidden to indulge in any social
recreation and is bound to follow
strictly the simple life prescribed
by the rules of that order. He is
expected to pay his respects to

will make formal calls upon the

have struck it with his whip. Re-

yards and then dashed s. into the

of public parks, he can't do so by
simply dropping in at Spring Gar
dens, but has to turn up the city
directory and find out in what part
of the city the department is locat-
ed-which results in the discovery
that it is on the second floor Of a
building in the fashionable shop
ping district! Sometimes the
branches of a single department are
scattered over several streets. The
members of the county council who
are in favor of building a handsome
and commodiOus city hall and get
ting the various departments of the
administration under one roof say
that no business hous would con-
sent to have its branches scattered
as those Of London's government
are Not all these departments"
even are connected by telephone
with the main building, but have
to communicate by means of mess
engers-generally old men, retired
soldiers-and the waste of time
| that this causes is simply amazing.
What makes LondOn'S lack of an
adequate municipal building all the
more remarkable is the fact that
every English provincial city Of any
considerable size boasts an impos-
ing town hall.
The members of the county coun-
Gil almost screwed their courage to
the sticking point last week, but
when the matter came to an active
vote some of the men who had been
supporting the scheme became
frightened at the thought of what
the war-laden taxpayer might say
and so backed out. They only post
poned the purchase, however, and
it is certain that before long Lon
don will have an official home
worthy of it's reputation.
