CROP BULLETINS.

Council Bluffs Nonpareil: Crops
and prosperity, now and forever, one
and inseparable-had Daniel Webster
made his famous speech in these
words he might not have stirred the
nation SO deeply, but he would have
set forth great truth. The soil and
our material welfare are perpetually
linked together; the one gives birth
to the other, and only as the one
yields an abundance can the other
grow and thrive. No one understands
this more thoroughly than the men
who are farthest removed from the
soil in their pursuits and occupations.
Our bankers are busy throughout the
country just now gathering informa-
ton about the prospects of this
years yield of the great staples of our
Transform, wheat and oats. Every
great financial institution in Chicago
and New York and elsewhere is re-
ceiving detailed statements of crop
conditions from every county in every
important agricultural district in the
country. The government at Wash
ington has great force of experts
engaged in similar work and nearly
every agricultural state maintains a
like service. Their reports constitute
the most important news in the news
papers when they are published, and
business men, big and little, study
them with the utmost care and then
lay their plans for the future accord
ingly. Everything that contributes to
life and it's support springs originally
from the soil. and as the soil pro-
duces, so in direct ratio is our pros
perity and happiness.

The Girl From Boston.

She possessed a mind discerning
That was stored and crammed with
learning,
And her thoughts, forever burning
She could suitably express,
All her sentences were rounded,
And her words imposing sounded;
/ was really quite astounded
AS / listened, confess.
But saw her very lately,
And she did not talk ornately;
All that language suave and stately
She no longer kept on tap.
She was saying 'Bessums Diddums
Where is de bad old pin got hid
dumS
In his muzzer's p'ecious kiddums!''
To the baby in her lap.
