CROP REPORT.
Weather Bureau Issues n Monthly
Summary as 10 Conditions
Throughout Country.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The weather
bureaus monthly summary of crop
conditions is as follows: In the prin-
cipal winter wheat states the month
averaged cold with more than the usual
amount of precipitation. The temper
allure conditions were, however, not
unfavorable 10 winter wheat until the
last decade when the states Of the up
per Mississippi and Missouri valleys
experienced temperatures ranging
from zero to IS degrees below zero.
During this PERIOD the Ohio valley
states were generally well protected
with snow covering, but in the central
Mississippi and lower Missouri valleys
the crop was exposed. Only slight
damage, however, seems to have re-
suited, and at the close CT the month
the crop appears to be very promising.
Complaints of injury by fly are not ex'
tensive and are largely confined to the
Ohio valley.

proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
It is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk Of pure cod liver oil
WIN some hypopnQsPhltes
especially prepared for deliease
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children be-
cause it is SO perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
