CROP is PROMISING
WEATHER BUREAU ENCOURAGING
TO THE DEALERS IN THE
WINTER PRODUCTS
FALL-sOWN OATS ARE KILLED
Corn Planting Has Been Begun as
Far North as Kansas, and in
Texas Is Nearly Com
pIeted.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The weather
bureau has issued the following general
summary of the crop conditions LOT
March:
The weather conditions Of March were
generally favorable for farming opera
tons in the states Of the Missouri Upper
Mississippi and Ohio valleys and on the
Atlantic coast north Of North Carolina.
The month also was favorable in FLORIDA,
Texas and Oklahoma, but over the great
err part of the Central and East Gulf
states it was unfavorable, largely on ac-
count Of excessive rains. Throughout the
Central and East Gulf states farm work
Is from two to three weeks late, and in
many sections much land has badly wash
ed. On the Pacific coast the month was
cool and the season is generally back
ward
Winter wheat Promising.
There has been a very general and in
some sections a marked Improvement IN
the condition Of winter wheat IN the
states of the Central valleys, although
much of the late crop sown IS IN poor
condition, and some Will be plowed up for
other crops. The cool weather on the Pa
cific coast has retarded the growth or
winter wheat In California some dam
age mas DSGu uO4tE ny uCdlFg Act4LA53 49,
on the whole the crop is in promising
condition. In Oregon the condition Of the
crop is less promising than usual, espe-
cially in the eastern part of the state.
An improvement is indicated in Wash
ington, although considerable Ieseeding
was necessary. Some spring wheat was
sown over the southern portion Of the
spring wheat region at the close Of the
month.
Oat seeding Is well advanced in the
states Of the Missouri valley, and is pro
crossing in the Ohio valley and Middle
Atlantic states. Fail sown oats in the
Southern states have been winter killed
to a great extent.
Corn Planting in Kansas.
Corn planting has begun as far north
ward as Kansas and Missouri, and prep
arations for planting are in progress
farther north. In Texas the bulk Of the
corn crop has been planted, and some Is
being cultivated Considerable planting
also has been done in the Central and
East Gulf and South Atlantic states.
IN Texas and Florida cotton planting
is well advanced, but in Georgia, Ala
bama. Mississippi and Louisiana none has
yet been planted, and very little ground
has been prepared owing 70 heavy rains.

THE OLDEST DOLL IN AMERICA.
Brought to This Country I'm 1900.
When Williamb Came Over in the
Good Ship Canterbury.

Bronsht to This Country in 1929,
Good Ship Canterbury.
In 1899, when William Penn sailed
from England in the good ship Canter-
bury for his second visit to the Alneri-
can colony, of which, so far, scant no
tice has been taken, he brought with
him an English doll, believed to be to-
day the sole surviving representative Of
that voyage across the Atlantic. This
doll, selected by William PENIS daugh-
ter, Lelitia was sent by her to little
Miss Rankin of Philadelphia, and, after
200 eventful years, it still retains, in
marked degree, much of the brightness
and beauty of those early days, when
after another. Her dress, not. being
the court dress of that period, and is of
striped and delicately-t tinted brocade
and velvet; the skirt is very full, and
is distended over an enormous hoop.
She is twenty inches i'll height, and her
figure is long-waisted and slender, as
are the pictures OF court beauties in
those days. The full basque spreading
out from the belt over the skirt, en-
hances the slender effect. The hair is
rolled away from the face, much in the
fashion Of to-day. She now lives in
Montgomery county, Maryland, in the
retirement her great age demands, only
being removed from her careful wrap
pings when strangers, whom her quiet
fame has reached, come to make close
acquaintance with this, the Oldest doll
in America.-I.adies' Home Journal.

A Quick-witted Helpmat..

The Rev. Clinton Locke, who was for
nearly half a century. rector at Grace
Episcopal church, Chicago, was the i'm
mediate predecessor of Ernest M. Stires,
recently called to New York. DR..
Locke tells the story Of how his quick
witted wife once saved him from an
awkward situation. One afternoon,
while enjoying a good book in the par
lor, his wife noticed a woman coming
up the front steps whom he particular
ly detested. The doctor fled percipi-
lately, leaving his wife to meet the call
err. After a half-hour had passed, DR..
Locke came out of his study and list
ened at the head of the stairs. Hearing
nothing below, he called down to his
wife:
"Has that horrible old bore gone
yet?''
The caller was still there. Mrs.
Locke was equal to the emergency,
however, and she called back:

"All right, Til see him in a moment.

CHAPTER XVIII.
"what Man Have Killed."

I LeathWood was torn by a hundred
doubts and fears and terrorc; he saw in
every circumstance something to be
afraid of-sonle other strand of that net
which he knew was closing about him.
1t was evident that the girl Olive, was
hedged about and protected in way he
had never imagined; it was more evil
dent still that his secret regarding the
murdered man was no longer safe. AL
READY Anthony Taggett-Whether by
Incident or design-had blundered upon
the story; and now this mysterious
stranger had urged him to return to
Rickerby's Folly because of something
he had hidden there. The Wretched
man was torn in two directions; fear
urged him to put as great a distance as
possible between the dark house in st.
6ohn's Wood and himself; fear, too,
urged him back to it, to cover his deed,
II that were possible-or, at all events,
Ito assure himself that his secret was
still safe.
So he blundered along in the growing
dawn, dragging Cornelius with him, and
cursing the old mans slow steps. Com
ing at last to the station, he came upon
struggling workingmen, making their
way to it in time for the early trains to
London; fell in with them and took
couple of tickets. He arrived at Kings
Cross, with Cornelius, who was still half
asleep and in mood to grumble at ev-
erythrg, just as London was waking up
and beginning new day. But here a
new fear assailed him-the fear that
Rickerby's Folly might be watched!
II won't go there yet he announced
&c Cornelius. Its quite possible that
,they may be looking for me; if so, I'll
disapf ONT them. You can so at once
Ito the house; set TO work, cautiously, to

trouble. Now. go; expect me about
hightfall."
Cornelius Viewers, grumblng still, set
off for Rickerbys Folly leaving his
master to get rid of the day the best lie
could. Truth to tell. Nugent found the
