MISSOURI CROP REPORT
Furnished by the United States Weather Bu.
reau at Columbia.

! 4He paSC week was nOL so favorable
either for farm work or crops.
Showery conditions obtained over the
greater portion of the state on the
18th, 18th, 18th, 23d and 24th,
putting stop to all farm work, ex-
cept in the western part of the north
west section. The general character
istic was warm sultry days and cool
nights. The temperature averaged
about one degree below normal in the
northwest, southwest and southeast
sections; and three degrees in the
Central and two degrees below
normal in the Northeast section.
Wheat is ripe over the greater
portion of the south, and harvesting is
in progress; it is filing and ripening
in the northern portion of the State.
Harvesting is progressing slowly, and
is interfered with by frequent and
heavy rains, making the fields too
wet for the reapers to enter; consider
able wheat is being cut with the
cradle. While the majority of corres-
pondents say that the crop will
average we'll, there is considerable
complaint of rust from the greater
portion of the southern half of the
State; in some fields wheat is "lodg-
ing" badly. Oats have deteriorated
some during the week from too much
rain, and also rust; the crop is head
ing short; some has been cut.
Corn made very fair growth in the
southwest the growth has been excel
lent, some fields are tasseling. The
fields are getting grassy, owing to so
much rain the farmers have been un-
able to keep the cultivators going.
Cotton is growing fairly we'll, and
The fields are well cultivated; the
nights continue too cool, however, for
he rapid growth of this plant.
Glover is ready for cutting in all
,arts of the State; much of it has
'een cut, but the harvesting has been
'ery much set back by rains, cutting
,oing on between showers in many
ocalities. Considerable hay has been
lamaged. The crop is very fine, and
few days dry weather is all that is
leeded. Pastures are generally in
inc condition, but meadows are
veedy.
Potatoes are yielding fairly we'll
nd of good quality: fruits, except
pples, promise fair crop; berries Of
II kinds are in an abundance.

A NOVELTY IN THE CIRCUS LINE

New York, April 27-Bsrnum &
Bailey's circus folk had the gospel
preached to them each Sunday OF
their long New York season. The
great auditorium of Madison Square
Garden was wrapped in Sabbath still
ness. but In the room where. during
the week, the breaks held sway, the
congregation listened to an address by
the Rev. W. II. Sneak, chaplain Of
the show.
The clown was there without his
paint and grotesque costume and grave
decorum replaced the leers end antics
which commended him to weekday
audiences. No one except his fellow
performers knew that ho was of the
circus. The three Russian dancers sat
ssdately attentive.
On front cnairs were the midgets,
having the appearance OF animated
dolls. Behind them SAT the bearded
lady, who sought to conceal her ample
flowing beard by fastening her long,
light coat over il and turning up her
collar until it almost met the droop Of
her black hat, with its pendant white
feather.
Sitting beside her was tho missing
link" who was afflicted with cold.
The lion faced boy, in back seat,
looked like dog dressed mp for the
occasion. Next to him was the eight
foot giant, towering above the others
so that they looked like pigmies.
The chaplain stood on platform
gaily decorated with red and gold tap
estries. After reading chapter from
the Bible, he prayed that all before
him might be inspired to lead higher
life, and that no accident might occur
in the circus throughout the season,
and that there might be no suffering
from storm or railroad disaster.
az heard two gentlemen in the me-
nsgerie last week discussing religion, :"
said Mr.. Sneak, in the course of his
sermon. lone. who occupies a high
position in this circus, said he did not
believe there was . hell. The other
replied that il there was no hell.
there could be no heaven-and that is
true"

II is Hoped to be Ready by Early
Next Spring, However.
The Building Committee Has Adopted
Report to BE Submitted to

TO ADVERTISE FOR PLANS

The Elks in Psducah will probably
not build this year. So much time hat
already been consumed In reaching
some definite conclusion that there II
now little prospect OF anything to
wards active building being done be
fore next spring. The desire now
seems TO be to get rything ready
for breaking ground early next spring
There has been some difference OF
opinion relative to the sdvisability Of
building this year, and after consider
able delay the members Of the com.
mittee held n meeting yesterday after
noon at the City National bank and
agreed on report which Is TO be sut
mitted to the lodge tomorrow night
and acted on.
The report specifies that the com
mittee shall advertise In some archi
tectural Journal and in the Paducat
papers for plans and Specifications and
that ninety day be allowed In which
to bring in . report. The building
will be Ave stories nigh, and is not te
cost over ESQ. 900.
The plans will then be selected and
the architect chosen by the entire
lodge. II the report presented tomor
row night Il agreed on.
But whether or not IL 10 concurred
In. IL seems to be the general opinion
OF members that nothing towards
building will he done this year, a. the
preliminaries would require too much
time.
The present intention 10 TO have the
committee proceed to secure au archi
teCt and plans and make all Other
necessary preparations aud have every
thing ready 20 begin work next
spring.
The Elks are very enthusiastic ovel
their new building, and while some
are disappointed over the prospect OF
doing nothing towards erecting IL thi.
year. they look forward to the worn
next year with pleasursble anticips
