TALKS OF HARVEST
DOWN THE STATE

Detective Charles w. GiIlen, of Ken .
nett Square, who has peen spending
some days in Delaware and parts OF
Maryland endeavoring to trace a stole1
horse belonging 10 a West Chester man.
today spoke of crop conditions as he
saw them down the State.
THE wheat in Delaware Is cut and
mostly shocked, and is a good crop, blt
in many districts there is very little
hay harvested" he said. Wheat and
corn are the staple crops. In the
truck growing belt I found many OF
the growers not in very gleeful antici .
patton Of a successful year.
"The rot has manifested itself in the
sweet potatoes, and many of the grow
ers whose patches were infested, spoke
discouragingly regarding their outlook
The Keifer pears, too, will be a fall
ure this season.
"The peach growers interviewed varied
in the opinions as to the crop. Canta-
loupes, watermelons and tomatoes look
ed well, and the prospects are go
for a large yield.
AT this season the growers are very
busy cultiyating their crops. As RUE
the whole family participated in the
work. 1 saw many girls, well along
in their teens and past them, their
cheeks rosy with the healthy glow of
rustic beauty, manipulating the hoe,
without the least demur, and showing
as much dexterity as their male COM

SHEATH GOWNS IN PHILADELPHIA

HERE is something out of joint with the
u glowing stories that people are becoming
hysterica over the sheath gowns, as they are
called. For instance, a photograph reproduced in
a Philadelphia paper of two young women who
wore them shows in the group just two men
looking at the women and only of the two
is smiling, while FIVE men are going in another
direction, not even gazing at the sight And the
cab driver goes by without "rubbering" Accord
ing to this picture, even the sheath gown has
failed to stir Philadelphia
If Max Kaufman and Jim" McNichol, the two
distinguished citizens of Philadelphia who have
been lately in the public eye, should appear on
Chestnut street in sheath gowns, we believe they
would attract more attention than did the chorus
girls. Philadelphia might then wake up.

QUEER DENVER STORY.

RCEER news comes from Denver. We had
supposed that it was generally known that
Judge Gray, OF this State, was taking no part in
the canvass for his nomination for president, and
that It was entirely the work of his friends
This morning we read Denver despatch to the
New York Sun denying that Judge Gray had
given up rooms reserved at one of the hotels.
The Denver despatch says that at is understood
that Judge Gray's two sons will accompany their
father (to Denver) and take an active part in the
contest"
OF course these reports are incorrect We do
not see how any one at all informed could imag-
inc Judge Gray holding forth at Denver in such
manner. The correspondent of the Sun and the
Sun itself should promptly join one Of the multi
tudinous Springer heirs associations"

DISCOUNT

Is an Important element in
financial success. Busi-
ness men who carry a bank
balance sufficient to pay
their bills promptly and
thereby obtain the largest
discount make that much
additional profits and If
they keep their accounts
with us, the balance is con-
stantly earning interest,
which is another source of
profit. Merchants and
manufacturers, whom we

According to reports that we hear from the
lower counties the peach crop will not be so large
as was expected. The June drop in some places
has played havoc with the fruit. Possibly the re-
turns OF smaller crop will be larger than they
would be with glut of fruit because the prices
OF fruit this year have been below normal The
lower prices, for instance in strawberries. are
due to the heavy yield of that fruit and the de-
pressed times

The Car is wearying of try at popular gov

from the universities. Education, of course, is
fatal to autocratic government, as the Gar well
