The crop report issued by the gov
eminent foreshadows another season
of great prosperity for the farmer.
According to the report of the govern
ment experts, there will be wonder
full harvest. On present conditions
it is estimated that the combined
yield of the five leading cereals will
reach the total of 4,S79,0O0, 900 bush
els, an increase of 54O,0OO,O00 bushels
over last years yield. If this promise
Is carried out it will be the largest
aggregate yield of record. The Aug
ust report on corn does not equal
the July estimates, but greater crop
than ever before Is predicted. The In
dicated yield of wheat is 61,OOO,0 900
bushels more than year ago, despite
the pessimistic prophecies made early
this season. At the prevailing prices
the farmer is assured a year of Won
derful prosperity.

WELCOME 70 THE GOLFERS

A WELCOME TO THE GOLFERS.
Golfers from all over Iowa are en-
,1oying Ottumwa hospitality today.
They will be guests Of the city for
the best part of the week The Wis
itors are being entertained in the
way Ottumwa always entertains its
Company" The Ottumwan never
asks the visitor as soon as he arrives
How do you like our town." He just
sets out to do the honors and when
he gets through and the visitor feels
as much at home here as If he be-
longed to the Old Settlers association
there is no need to ask the question.
They all like Ottumwa and Ottumwa
hospitality and they are glad to come
back again.
Ottumwa doesn't do this hospitable
act for policy's sake, as some Of the
western cities do. They entertain the
guest because they are proud Of their
town and proud of the impression OF
tumwa makes on the visitors, and be-
cause Ottumwa is just full of good
fellows who are never happier than
when they are playing the host.
And there never was body Of
guests that Ottumwa welcomes more
sincerely than the golfers. They are
all good fellows. A grouchy DISPOSE
ton can't survive in the game Of golf.
Like their eminent fellow-golfer. tie
president, they smile in victory or de
Feat. They are good sportsmen all.
Here's best wishes to the visiting
golfers. We hope they'll like our
course, our club and our town.

CHAPTER XIII

The doctor from Englewood came
very soon, and l went up to see the
sick girl with him. Halsey had gone
to supervise the fitting of the car with
blankets and pillows, and Gertrude
was opening and airing Louise's own
rooms at the house. Her private sit,
ting-room, bedroom and dressing-room
were as they had been when we came.
They occupied the end Of the east
wing beyond the circular staircase and
we had not even opened them.
The girl herself was too i'll to notice
what was being done. When, with
the help of the doctor. who was a
fatherly man with a family of girls
at home, we got her to the house and
up the stairs into bed, she dropped
into feverish sleep, which lasted un-

JIM JEFFRIEs IN TRAINING
Manager Says PuEiIiut's Waist Line
Is Down to NORMAL.

PARIS, Sept. 29.-James j. J~effries, the
American heavyweight fighter, is doing his
work at Jim Pratt's quarters at Neuilly on
the Seine, a suburb of Paris, preparatory
to his meeting with Jack Johnson, the col
ored champion. Jeffries' training, which
began soon af er he returned from Marien-
bad, has been interrupted by a cold con-
tracted while he was attending the races
and for two days the pugillst was confined
to his room. His wife, however, says that
the illness was not serious and 1t Is ex-
peced that he will take up his training
again in a day or two.
Jim Pratt, who has followed the fighters
for years, considers Jeffries in the pink
of condition and ready to enter the ring
with Johnson. 'JeffTies Is quick as light
ming" he said today. "The treatment
which he underwent at Marienbad has re-
duced his superfluous fat and his waist
line has fallen away practically to normal,
His weight is about 225 pounds, All that
.Jeffries needs now is to get his muscles
in trim, and / am sorry that his training,
which was confined largely to punching
tn Jag and skipping rope, has been in
terrupted."
No definite arrangements have been made
today for a fight with Johnson, although
Hugh Mcintosh, the Australian fight pro-
moTer, has offered So, 900 for a contest be
tween these two ~heavyweights In Paris.
Jeffries has refused the offers of several
music hall managers to give s%parring eN
hibitionS.
