They lay great stress on saloons
running the boys. Boys cannot go In
first-class saloon and drink. The
mothers and fathers allow their boys
to go to baseball, play pool. go to
pugilistic fights and allow them on the
streets late at nights, training them w
ready for the saloon. Where do our
boys that fill the reform schools come
from? Not from saloons.

OPTIMISTIC ON CROP jTLoOk.

H. V. Jones, editor Of the Com
mercial West, and the we'll known
crop expert of Minneapolis, was at
Huron recently on his tour OF inspec-
ton of wheat fields in South Dakota
and portions of the Northwest. The
wheat yield for the three Northwest
ern states is estimated by Mr.. Jones
at IT'S 100000 bushels as indicated by
conditions existing the early part OF
July. the crop at that time in much
of the area being in bad condition.
ION the other hand" he says, there
is some very fine wheat in prospect,
barring rust alone" On the question
of rust Mr.. Jones differs from some
other observers, some of whom de-
cis-e it Is worse than a year ago at
this date-that the crop Is almost
ruined by rust" He is inclined to the
belief that "what is being referred to
as rust in the majority of cases is not
rust at all, but simply a blemish in
the leaf, due to the heavy sap that is
being thrown into the plant by the
moist condition of the soil. In any
case there is no black rust at present,
and there cannot be until the stalk is
in condition to receive the disease in
it's course of development. The con-
ditions exist, however, for the devel-
opment Of black rust. but the North.
west may escape it entirely. The
crop as a whole Is in condition to i'm
prove considerably with bright
weather The Northwest crop will be
late barring hot weather, which Will
cause premature ripening and blight.
The strong point of the crop to-day Is
in the James river valley in South
Dakota, in the timber country in Min.
nesota, and in the western counties
of North Dakota and on some OF the
slopes running into the Red river val
ley"
