CROP IS A LITTLE
SHORT OF AVERAGE
Whole Streets in Northern Cities
Have Been Given Over for
Weeks to Agencies Which
Are EMPLOYING Work
men for Fields.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Aug, 24-The
wonderful west is stirring itself for
the harvest. It's the old song of
wheat and of men. A birds eye
view of the great golden area at
this moment would be an inspiration
From the black cities and towns.
hundreds are vending their way 10
the fields.
Our farms produce more than
S6,5OO,OOO pr annum, and the pros
pect is good for an average crop"
said Leslie M. Shaw, former secre-
tary of the treasury in a recent
statement.
This harvest means work for
thousands and prosperity and glad
hearts in the boundless west.
Whole streets in Minneapolis and
St. Paul have for weeks been given
over to offices of employment men.
who are choosing hands for the har-
vest. Students are flocking to the
fields to earn money-real dollars
threshing engines are busily putting
and blowing as they crawl along the
roads from field to field
The first barley of the season has
reached Minneapolis. Even the
wheat traders who usually take lit
tie interest in other grains were anX-
ious to know how ii would sell. A
car load from Iowa sold at SO cents
a bushel; the other car load from
Il
was cents lower than the highest
price of last year, and the wheat
men saw signs of higher wheat
prices in the two deals.
Kansas Big Crop
Kansas, Nebraska and the other
great wheat growing states are all
lined up with the most bountiful
yields of the country, Kansas alone
being only II percent short of her
best crop record. Her crop is now
out of the way as it has been nearly
all threshed.
The railroads, disgruntled as they
may be against the public, are hun
cry for the harvest. They have
granted low rates to harvesters and
are vying with each other in their
efforts to get them into the fields.
Almost weekly they secure statements
from their stations of how many men
are needed at each point and what
wages are paid. The latest statement,
issued by the 500, showed definite
calls for 5000 men at wages varying
ing from 1925 to SO a day, with
board.
The other day, the most novel
school in the world was brought to
a close at the Minneapolis expert
mental association. 1t turned out, af-
ter a three-month course, nearly 400
young men who had been taught by
the state to operate threshing engines.
The tuition was almost free. These
men are being hustled into the fields
They will receive as high as Sc and
81 a day. with board.
The actual threshing of wheat be-
gins late this month.

New York, Aug, 24-A shrapnel
shell taken from the hold of the bat
tleship Maine after she was blown
up at Havana, exploded in Jersey
City yesterday, and severely injured
three boys. The eldest, a lad named

ing a group of youngsters that 1t had
been given him by a sailor as
souvenir OF the Maine. The explosion
that followed, broke the windows of
the neighboring houses, Kenney was
fearfully mutilated.
Shell Probably Stolen
The shell had been brought to this
country after the explosion. together
with number of other articles saved

taken from the navy yard without
the consent of the officials Officers
are looking for the sailor who gave
1t to young Kenney, but with little
hope of success as the boy cannot
give any description of the man and
II is not believed he will survive the

ACCIDENT OCCURRED
AT SANTA RITA MINE

Silver City, n. NJ, Aug, &c
p. Crawford, one of the best known
mining men of the southwestern part
of New Mexico, was found dead at
the bottom of a shaft at Santa Rita
this morning. Mr.. Crawford had evil

which he was leasing from the San
ia Rita Mining company, early this
morning, before the miners began
work, and had lost his footing, fall

feet causing instant death. His head
and body We're a mass of bruises and
broken bones. The body was found
by the miners when they started
down the shaft at o'clock
The attention of the men was first
drawn to the fact that a tragedy had
occurred by bloody spots on the sides
of the shaft. The marks were so
plain and evidently Just made, that
the men hastened down to the foot
of the shaft, only to find Crawford's
body almost unrecognizable lying
on pile of ore.

cutting was necessary and to ascer-
tain more clearly what was being
encountered. He generally entered
the workings just after daybreak, as
in that manner he evaded the min
ers and did not cause a suspension Of
work or encounter any great danger.
He left home as usual this morning
to look after the mine and nothing
was noted of his disappearance until
the body was found.
Mr.. Crawford had been a resident
of Grant county for many years and
was considered by mining men of
this section as one of the best post
ed and reliable authorities on Grant
county mines. He leaves a wife and
seven children, who reside In Silver
City.
