Crop Conditions,


 worldwide returns for the concluding week in June bring upon the whole as- surances of substantial progress in crop conditons,' says the Wall Street Jour nal The more favorable accounts are from the southern hemisphere, including India, where monsoon rains have come in time to facilitate the seeding of the new grain crops and to further the growth of those now in the ground. Of European countries the British prospects are easily the best. Harvesting In Spain and south ern France as well as Italy has pro gressed to the point at which something as to the annual yield is ascertainable Central and eastern Europe show mixed conditions with rather doubtful gains in Germany, Austria and Russia Mediter- ranean countries are beginning to move new crop grain. although prices have lost little if anything of their 1rmness. At home first winter wheat deliveries at pri- mary markets sold for S1. 20 a bushel
 Domestic crop matters have changed their aspects somewhat with the arrival Of genuine summer temperature. Re- ports of damaging heat in Texas and other cotton belt districts do not, how ever, appear from weather records to have been extreme except locally. Con- ditions for field work. in the harvesting of winter wheat, in the cultivation of cotton and in blowing corn, have been the best thus far this season. Middle gulf regions complain of too much rain for working cotton. and for this reason main- ly the trade expects some loss of condi- tion in the governments report on Fri day next. The crop which has turned to best advantage the rising temperature, as the month closes, Is corn. Railway au- thorities continue to give encouraging re- ports on corn and oats, as well as spring wheat. From what is thus far known the northwest from the lakes to the Pacific. will probably produce a record crop of wheat and smaller grains"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
A SINGER AND HIS SONG.

A SINGER AND HIS SONG. A little song of happiness Is very hard to sing, When every golden dream has fled And hope is on the wing; When troubles follow thick and fast And days bring only rue And sorrow tries in many ways To get the best of you. One time there lived a trustful wight So very, very poor, A crust of bread was all he had, A crust and nothing more. And yet, he sang of happiness A sweet. immortal song That stilled the pain in weary breasts And helped the world along. From which we learn that hopeful hearts, When darltlng shadows fall, Can rise above the tricks of fate >And triumph over all LOVES HIS FELLOW MAN. why don't you try to write a best seler?" sir, I am a Humanitarian

A PLEASING FANCY. I dreamed that the icebergs were drift Ing
 Der the waves of a vast polar sea And the clouds in the heavens were sift- ing
 Great armfuls of snow down on me.
 k On a big cake of ice I was sitting, With my feet in a neighboring pool. And a terrible blizzard was fitting From the north and was keeping me cool As I sat there my soul was rejoicing And my heart it was brimful of glee And I thought that l couldn't help voic- ing
 The contentment that waited on me. Though twas only dream, you'll re- member, I consider 1t truly a boon, To dream of the land of December On a sweltering night In June.

 The Bullock County Breeze describes the sad fate which overlook horse be- longing to MT. Clark Thompson. Read the Breeze's account for yourself and if you have any tears to shed, prepare to shed them.
 Mir. Clark Thompson, who lives miles south of Hardaway Macon Co., lost his twenty-two year old Famous Family Horse, (Red Bird) Thursday evening. The Horse was hitched in front of a tenant house and a calf was tied to the same shade tree by rope, killing the horse instantly, the calf escaping unhurt. This was one of the best and safest family horses In southeast Alabama, having served his master faithfully for fourteen years.
 When 1t comes to eating corn,
 Red Bird was on the spot. And if the mules troubled him
 He would kick them from the lot. But alas poor old pony,
 He has now been drug away, And the mules are all rejoicing
 That he has gone to stay"

Dear Sir:-Let's have little pri
vate talk by ourselves on business;
nobody else, please, read.
You want to know how to do a
cheap job of painting, and have II
look good. Here it is: The cheapest
thing there is in the way of good
looking job-say nothing about its be
ing goods Devoe; the regular thing
in Devoe.
The reason is: Devoe goes further
than anything else. Lead and oil is
good looking; don't go so far and
costs more. The other paints are
more or less short in one way or an
other; don't go so far and costs more
than Devoe.
Devoe costs least of all; you don't
mind its lasting longer, do you? we
can't help it; a paint that goes fur
Their lasts longer; we can't help 1t.
Yours truly

PICNIC PARTIES
HIT BY STORM
Boating Association and Daramac
Launches Pull Through Squall
Without Mishap, However.

a number of the members of the
Island City Boating association took
their launches yesterday morning
and with their friends and families,
made cruise to Smiths island and
spent the day there. About 20
launches made the trip and nearly
30 persons were aboard. The cruise
started at 8 O'Clock in the morning
and the party ate both dinner and
supper at the camping place. The
time was spent in fishing, swimming
and other picnic amusements. The
storm which came up while the boats
were on their way home, marred the
day somewhat. but no mishaps oc-
Cured
The Daramac cI;sb went to Lin
wood and spent the day there. About
80 of the members were present and
fine time resulted. The launch in
which the club came home was buff
fetted about by the storm and for
time it looked as though it would
turn turtle, but careful management
pulled it through all right.

ALL CASES OF ACCIDENT
Harvey Gregg Falls Into Stream in

Three lives were lost in this locality
yesterday morning by drowning. TAs
three victims OF the water We're:
HARVEY GREGG. Rock Island, aged
10 accidently drowned near Moline
bridge in Rock river.
JOHN HOGAN. Davenport. aged GS,

while unconscious.

Rock river claimed another victim
yesterday morning when Harvey
Gregg. 19-year-old young man who
resided at 437 Forty-third street in
this city, was drowned below the Mo
line bridge The lad and five COM
panions, including his brother Robert,
Archie Pauley Clyde Herrick Fred
Slocum and Percy Freeland, was on
his way down Rock river in a launch
after breaking up their camp which
was located at the Moline bridge Be
hind the launch they towed sEiff. in
which they had slowed away most of
their camp equipment This was COW
cred with a canvas tarpaulin.
Falls into Water.
The canvas covering of the skiff be
came loosened when the party was
about opposite the ice houses on Rock
river. which are about a mile down
from the Moline bridge. The wind
had blown the covering partly off the
boat before it was noticed. and then
Harvey saw it and decided to fasten it
again. The skiff was but few feet
behind the launch, and the lad tried
to step from the stern of the launch
to the skiff. The instant he rested lis
weight on the bow of the skiff. it
swerved to one side, and the lad lost
his balance and fell into the water.
His brother Robert, who is several
years younger and who is unable to
swim. saw Harvey fall and he plung-
ed in after him without thinking. He
was unable to help Harvey, however
and he only saved his own life by
clinging to the skiff. Young Pauley
and Herrick jumped in a minute after
the drowning lads brother, and they
managed 10 get to his side, but were
unable TO save him, and he sank. Har
vey had learned to swim, and while
he was by no means an expert, he
would have been able TO swim to the
shore under ordinary circumstances,
but the suddenness of the plunge caus-
ed him to lose his head. and he could
do nothing to help himself.
Body is Recovered.
The launch was stopped as soon as
possible after the lad fell off, and the
search for the body commenced at
once and continued for three hours be.
