In the old days We have seen Har-

Often each was 20 nervous in presence
of the other that each would play

than anywhere else. For . good many
years, and in several branches Of sport,
the Yalensian prominence has been
usually 80 easy that the nervous strain
has been confined to the Harvard side.
Good feeling between the two univer-
stiles is practically continuous and can't
be seriously injured. The undergradu-

little sometimes; but the Cantabrigians
and the Yalensians have a great liking
for one another. Each collage regards
the other as its dearest foe. The Yale

crop is in good condition, but in local
tiles in the southern sections it is very
unpromising. Oats are now ripening
in the southern counties and few
have been cut. A heavy crop of clover
IS being harvested and the bulk of II
secured in good condition. Timothy
also promises fair to heavy yield IN
most sections, though generally quite
weedy. Pastures continue excellent.
Gardens are making fair progress and
early potatoes are doing well, except in
few counties. Melons are doing well
in Scott county, except on overhowed
lands, but IN Butler county they are
reported unpromlsing. Millet and
COW peas are making good growth
Apples are still falling to some extent
and in localities there is complaint
that they are knotty. Blackberries
promise an exceptionly heavy crop,

Missouri,s Crooked Streams.

Missouri has, perhaps, more large
and small rivers skirtiug her borders
or traversing parts of her territory
than any state in the union, Also her
soil is so mobile that most Of them are
as crooked as a snakes track. These
are the reasons why high water, wheth-
er due to excessive local rains or the
melting of snow in the Rocky mount
ans, are more destructive in this State
than IN almost any other. On the other
hand, to these same causes are due the
unequaled productivity of Missouri
soil and the great and rapidly growing
wealth of her farmers. So it seems
that the best thing for the States peo-
pie to do is not to waste their strength
in lamentations over the damage theil
streams inilict, but to strengthen anC
deepen their channels so as TO minIm
ise the losses they cause. The advan'
tages Of having plenty of water would
then be enjoyed without It's occasiona
disadvantages

for cultivation during the entire week,
but in general fair progress has been
made. Corn, as rule is not growing
as rapidly as it should, owing to the
low temperature, and in those counties
where cultivation has been seriously
retarded it Is again becoming foul, but
in most sections the fields are in fair tC,
good condition and with warm wealth
er the crop would rapidly improve.
In few counties some corn has been
laid by. Replanting has continued on
the overilowed lands, but owing to the
lateness of the season a considerable
portion of the flooded earea will prob
ably be sown to mIllet or other late
forage crops. The continued low tenn
perature has heen very unfavorable for
cotton, and considerable damage by
lice is reported. In Dunkin county
some cotton, has been plowed up and
the land planted to corn. Wheat har-
vest has been retarded to some extent
by the rains, but is now in full pro-
gress in the central and northern
sections. A few correspondents in the
central and southern counties report
the yield better than expected, but as
rule it is very light in those sections.
In many of the northern counties a
good average crop will be secured.
Stacking and thrsshing are IN progress
in the southern counties, Rye is also
being harvested and is generally a
good crop. An improvement ir the
condition of oats is noted in some sec
tions while in others there has been a
further decline, due TO rust and lice.

Cooks Statement.

In Jefferson City Sam B. Cook Sat-
urdaY made the following signed state
meut as to his connection with the
Speed matter.
"Mr. Speed did entirely right in
giving Mr.. Folk the full facts concern
ing his payment of $500 H. Lyons.
He was under no legal obligations to
furnish the Circuit Attorney the
facts, but he properly preferred TO
follow the course prompted by honest
candor and to tell the truth.
"When the demand was made on
Mr.. Speed for this $500, under threat
to pass an act taking practically all
the profits out Of the office he was
holding, be did what many honest
men have done-permitted himself to
be SHIELD up" BY legislative sand
bagger. When Mr.. Speed came to me
with the information that a demand
was being made on him for money,
promptly advised him not to pay a
dollar. When, however, on the ad-
vice of Others, he decided to pay the
demand, Istill did what l could tC

Tar on Macadam.

The property owners on Lindell
avenue do not seem to object TO the
Improvement, nor TO the material that
has been selected, but to the con-
ditions of the bill. The Improvement
would cost about 500, 900. The street
would be paved with a patened ma
terial, called bitumlnous macadani
pavement, which, while 1t may be good
and serviceabe, IS yet new to St.
Louis. The contention otthe property
owners is that this material should not
be used unless guarantee as to 8
durability be given.
According to claims of the makers
this pavement has given satisfaction
in several cities 10 the East. Ii they
are confident that the material will b.
as serviceable here they should be abl,
to give a guarantee. The materia
may be as good as asphalt, or better
it is surely better than our macadam
Nevertheless, it has not been testeC
here and should not be used unless Il
is guaranteed.-Editoria in St. Loui

Climate and CrOp BuIIetin.

Columbia, Mo-, June 80, 1908.
The past week averaged decidedly
cooler than usual throughout the state,
but there has been about the average
amount of Sunshine, except in portions
of the eastern sections. Good rains
have fallen in nearly all counties, the
total for the week generally ranging
from one to over two inches, except In
portions Of the central and northern
sections, where 1t was less than one
inch. In some localities in the south
west sections the rainfall was very
heavy, ranging from three to over
seven inches, and in portions Of Bates
and Vernon counties considerable corn
was washed out or covered up. In a
few of the northern and eastern coun-
ties more rain is needed. Severe hall
storms occurred in Dallas, Webster
Texas, Ripley, Buchanan, Linn, and
Adair counties, doing much damage to
fruit aud growing crops over small
areas.
Over considerable portion Of the
state farm work has bsen delayed to
some extent by the rains, and in some

Burglars.

The homes of Charles Barron, NJ, f.
