THE PROSPERITY WHEAT
CROP.

The crop report given out from
the Bureau of Statistics, Of the Nat
ional Department of Agriculture, in
dictates that every one of the summer
harvested grain crops grown in this
country is promising a yield, not
only much larger than that of last
wear. but better than the past ten
year average. The crops reported
upon include winter and spring
wheat. oats, rye and barley. The
total wheat yield of 1907 was about
634, 100000 bushels. The increased
acreage of the present year, together
with the better averages Of condi-
ton, when figured out, indicate an
aggregate yield of the bread cereal
that will exceed 700, 100000 bushels.
ONLY twice-once in 1901 and again
in I9O6-bas the wheat yield passed
the 100 100000 mark. The Agricul-
tural Department report indicates
also increases Of many millions OF
bushels in the yield of rye, oats and
barley. Corn is yet in the early
staoes-too early even for an acreage
estimate-but the planting season
for corn has been generally favor
able.
Wheat, of export grades, has been
selling in Baltimore during the pres
ent week at from 90 to above 80
cents. The harvest time of the new
wheat crop in the souehern zone Of
the wheat belt is at hand. In South
ern Maryland and on the Eastern
Shore wheat harvest generally begins
about the goth of June. According
to reports, the outlook for good
wheat yields in this state is promis'
ing. Prices for this year, even
though they may not range up to
the level of the excited squirt in quo
tations which occurred at about the
beginning OF July last year, are yet

HOPE FOR NIAGARA.

The report of the international
Waterways Commission to the Can
adian Parliament gives good hope
that Niagara Falls will be saved.
The Americans, under the head of
Congressman Burton, have shown
themselves inclined to do their part
toward preserving the natural beauty
of the falls from further marring.
The argument of the exploiters has
been that without Canadian CO oper-
alton nothing efectual can be done;
that the falls will be ruined, any way
and that the dollars drained from the
cataract will 60 into Canadian, in
stead of American, pockets. The
report of the international commits
sion is unanimous, both Americans
and Canadians agreeing that the
spelling must be stopped, and stop
ped at once. 1t remains for the
Ottawa lawmakers to take measure
to cooperate with the American
Congress.
One of the most dangerous incen'
tives to Canadian enterprise at the
falls has been the American market
for Canadian power. Even though
power plants were prohibited to the
American side. American manufac-
turers could make use of current
transmitted from the Canadian pow
erhouses. A suggestion which has
been before the international com
mission has been the prohibition of
the expectation of electric power
from Canada to the United Ssates.
The dispatches do not state the ex-
tent Of the international commission 8
reco lamentations on this important
point, but imply that the finding is
that the amount OF exported electric
current be limited. This would 60
far to check the activity of the Can
adian power grabbers for the time
being. Plain Dealer.

positaries the government oeposlts

Any action which the various cnurch
conventions, held at this season OF the
wear, may take regarding Sunday diver
sions by enlisted men of the army ana
navy, will in no way alter the position
of the War and Navy Depa rtments on
this subject. The Presbyterlaus at
Kansas City have taken the first step IN
that direction when at their meeting,
recently til ey listened to report crlti-
cising the Secretary of War and the
Secretary of the Navy for permitting
Sunday base ball playing On the part
of the soldiers and sailors. The posi-
ton of the authorities is that enlisted
men have little enough pportunity tor
relaxation and that after the usual
hours of Sunday worship it will be en-
tirely proper to allow them to play base
ball on the naval and military reserva-
tions where such contests do not inter
fere with other peoples observance OF
the Sabbath. Orders will be issued to
have the military and naval reserva-
tions closed to the public if the games
become nuisance or an annoyance in
any way to civil community.

BALTIMORE is PROUD OF
WASHINGTON'S DE-
yELOPMENT.

The rapid growth of Washington
and Its development into one OF the
worlds most beautiful capitals is
matter of pride to all Americans,
and especially to Marylanders, says
the "Baltimore SUM-. For the Dis
trict of Columbia itself is the child
of Maryland, and Baltimore and
Washington are next-door neighbors.
The development of each city
helps the other. They are in 70
sense rivals, but esch is the compile
ment of the other.
The new electric railway is anoth-
er link and, with the Baltimore and
Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads, it
furnishes such transportation as is
found between few such cities in the
world. A reference to the timetables
of the three roads will show that
there are about 200 trains or unit
cars in a single weekday running be-
tween Ike two cities-an almost un-
equaled passenger service. The new
boulevard now in course of construc-
ton will afford a splendid driveway
and automobile thoroughfare; so that
every facility will be afforded, wheth-
er one rides by steam, electricity,
gasoline or horsepower.
This points to rapid development
of the suburbs and towns between
the two cities, and the increase III
the value of property along these
lines shows that the property owners
and investors appreciate that fact.
The white marble office buildings
of the House and Senate and the
magnificent new Union Station are
second in Importance and impress
siveness only to the Capitol itself.
When the present plans have been
completed there will stand On Capt.
toll Heights probably the finest
group of public buildings in all the
world.
Handsome structures, like the new
Municipal Building of the District
of Columbia, the new National Mus
cum, the Pan American Peace Pal
ace and Continental Memorial Hall,
are rising in various parts of the
city; and some of the new banks and
office structures, in the beauty OF
their architecture, rival the costly
public buildings.
People Of wealth and prominence
from every section of the country
from New York, Chicago, Denver,
San Francisco-are building superb
mansions at the national capital, and
it is fast becoming the social center
OF the country.
The suburbs are developing both
on the Virginia and The Mary land
sides, and attractive homes are
springing up in every direction.
Baltimore's suburban growth has
been remarkable, and the trolley
lin 8 are bringing all the outlying
districts within easy reach OF the
city. Thus both cities arc extending
in every diret ton and are growing
nearer together.
The great business city and the
beautiful capital will in the near fu-
ture be like twin sisters, moving on
to a great and glorious future.

at figure which cannot fail to lock
pleasing to wheat growers who re-
member the SO cent wheat years OF
lS94-5. The average price OF wheat
in July during the past ten years has
not been much above 70 cents, though
there has been a progressive tenden-
CIV to increase in the price.
The big grain crop yield of the
country. in immediate prospect, con-
stitutes one of the most convincing
signs, though not by any means the
only one, that restored good times is
a condition and not theory. There
is absolutely not leg for the pessi-
mist to stand on if he will only figure
out the meaning of a 100000, 600
bushel wheat yield, with cotton, rye,
oats, barley, hay and the various
fruit crops-all in a much more
promising condition than they were
at this period of last year-Balti'
more American.

Fifteen Gored Skirt.

The many gored skirt, that gives
long lines and the effect of slender
ness, is the one greatly in demand
just now, and which promises to in
crease in favor. This one is trimmed
in a novel fashion and made with a
pleated front gore which relieves the
severity and allows effective use of
trimming. In the illustration the
material is Copenhagen blue pongee
with bands of black and white silk
used as trimming, but braid could be
substituted for this last and the skirt
is appropriate for almost every skirt
ing material. 1t can be made from
the thinner, lighter ones and from the
washable materials of the present,
while it also will be found admirable
for the advance models of the coming
season.
The skirt is made in fifteen cores.
The one at the centre front and the
one at each side thereof are pleated,
but the remaining cores are plain.
The closing can be made invisibly at
the back or at the left of the front as
