Teeth as Souvenirs.

has started the boom in artificial
teeth. Ever since have been in this

quests from eccentric patrons for a
set of somebody's teeth, but I'm the
last few months inquiries have simply
poured in concerning the teeth of

The most confirmed pessimist
in Wall street ought to find cause
for rejoicing in the government
crop report issued last week. 1t
discloses that. if the weather
shall permit the crops now grow
ing to mature, the yield of the
crop this year viii insure con-
tinuance of the remarkable pros
perity which the country ID
experiencing.
1t is true that the estimated
percentages of condition of the
growing crops are lower than
the estimated percentages of last
year at this time, but it is be-
lieved by the experts that higher
prices for farm products in the
markets will more than offset any
loss of farm yield, thus leaving
a clear margin Of gain to the
farmers, Notwithstanding the
damage to crops growing out OF
the late spring. Based on the
estimated percentages Of condi-
tions and today's prices for
grains, the total value of grain
crops for the year is returned as
81, ,458, ,004, ,803. Presented with
figures the situation is this
The government estimators
have placed the probable yield
of winter wheat for the current
year at 374, ,155, 900 bushels, val
ued at the present price of 92 IA
cents, at $345, 157, ,987. The pre-
diction for the yield Of spring
wheat 10 243, ,667, 900 bushels with
a value Of 1924, ,772, ,807.
This places the total wheat
crop at GIT, $4,000 bushels,
worth 1860, $3.50, 795. The actual
yield OF wheat for the similar
period last year was 735, 261 900
bushels, which, figured at the
market price one year ago Of
1918 cents, was worth 1874, ,422, \
656. Since the total yield, how
ever, exceeded the government
estimate by 27,Oo0,000 bushels
it is not unlikely that the present
year may furnish surprise fully
as welcome.
The corn crop this year will be
greater than that of last year In
Oklahoma corn was planted
where wheat had been destroyed
by the green bugs, thus increas-
ing the acreage. The present
condition Of the corn crop in the
two territories is all that could
be asked for and the yield will be
immense.
If the price Of corn is the same
as last year the farme rs will hav
money to throw at the birds.
