Aver. in 1O7 counties 1926


In some counties lying in the wet dis
trict it is impossible at this time to
make reliable estimate of changes in
acreage, and a few such will be found
missing from the tabulation. The same
applies to a few scattered counties else
where, where farm work has been re-
tarded. In one or two of the backward
counties the figures given are subject to
later modification. The longer farm work
is delayed the greater will be the ultimate
sowing to flax, corn, barley or other
crops, and the greater the decrease in
wheat, and if conditions turn favorable
from now on, more wheat may go in than
is now calculated upon. +. The tables show
the present conditions.

Anoka co inty will be all corn and potatoes
this fall. 1t is -ears since any wheat worth
considering has been raised in any of the
very close territory, and what little Anoka
had has been further cut into. Rye acreage
will be cut, but oats, corn and potatoes will
make a big showing. >,-- -

fought him. the battle ending in a
draw after ten rounds during which
the Salt Lake man used his elbow and
committed so many fouls that he had
to be warned repeatedly by the referee.
Altogether Agnew has fought over a
hundred fights and has coma out well

Agnew began his pugilistic career in
Chicago in the early nineties. He soon
attracted attention among the fighters
of tn eight weight class. In '93 he de-
feated Joe Sullivan in four fierce
rounds. Jack Mccormick in three
rounds, boxed to a draw with Harry
Pigeon, defeated Jim LOBBY in eight
rounds. Jim Robinson, Harry Watson
from Philadelphia and FIrman Corley
in two rounds.
Agnew was then heard of in Kansas
City where he defeated Mickey Pete in
six rounds after what was described as
the most desperate fight ever seen In
that city. Pete fouled Agnew repeat
eddy using his knee and shoulder but
even this did not save him from being
badly beaten. Altogether Agnew at
this time had about five fights in Kan
sas and Missouri of which he came out
winning three and having two draws.
Agnew also defeated Bob Thompson

White House Changes.


II the two amendments to the sundry

ture that now houses our Chief Excel
tive. To-day. the sightseer feasts his
eyes on the original structure, with

pose to sweep away the glass wing and
erect upon the plat at the farther end

ture. Since the Hayes administration.
the conservatory has not been the
feature it is thought to be. Wherefore
the sweeping away of the conservatory
will be a matter of small regret to
those who are most interested in the
proposed changes. The small, simple
two-story structure which will be
erected upon the ground between the
end of the conservatory and Executive
avenue is being opposed. Already the
absurd title, the Little White House"
has become a term of opprobium.
Whether. instead of the great greR
park with a big white building in the
middle and a little white building
squatting inharmoniously to one side,
are the questions at issue. If the lat
ter scheme is followed out, it will add
very little to the space devoted to So
cial functions. but the offices upstairs
will be turned into bed rooms.

in one of the Washington papers of the

The departure OF Cardinal Martinelli

holding no position in the diplomatic

knowledge of world policies. that he.
better than any one else, might have
solved the problem of the monastic or
ders and their possessions in the
Philippines, If he could have worked
directly with the President. But ii has
never been the policy Of the Admins
tration to accord the slightest political
recognition to the Holy See. The Pres
ident of the United States is the only
ruler who has not sent gifts to tho
Pope in honor of his approaching jubi-
lee. This course of action is necessary
in view of the fact that any recogni.
