Washington Leads i'm Wheat CrOr
Conditions.

! 1t is source of congratulation for
| the wheat growers and the people in
general of the states of Washingt on
| and Oregon that the winter wheat and
, rye crops, according to the govern
ment report of condition on May l.
makes such a fine showing, despite
the much lower average of the cOun-
try as a whole. The department of
agriculture reports an average cond'-
| tio1 in the country on May l of S3.3
per cent for winter wheat and SS1
per cent for rye. against ten-yedr
average on that date of Sc and S9-1
respectively The area of winter
wheat to be harvested is put as 81
81 900 acres.
In comparison by states Washing
Ion leads the general average nearly
10 per cent on winter wheat, and
takes first place among the big Pa
oiiic coast states. which are apparent
.ly highly favored over the remainder
of the country in crop conditions.
The average condition on May l,
last and the ten years average on
May l. respectively, for winter wheat
and for rye, are as follows:
California wheat, 81 and So; rye.
rs and So. Washington wheat, SO
and 81; rye, SO and 95. Oregon
wheat. SO and 90, rye, go and 90.
This comparison shows California
generally low in the condition of its
grain crop and lower this year than
the average by good deal. Oregon
is lower by several points this year
than the average, while Washington
is per cent higher than usual on
wheat and / per cent better on rye.
But both Oregon and Washington are
tied on the wheat condition at SO
per cent, which probably is the high
est in the nation since practically all
parts of the east and middle west
and much of the south have been
swept by late spring SHOWS, storms
and tornadoes

WOULD AMALCA-
MATECHURCHES

Chicago, May 14.-An interde-
nominational religious organization
with its purpose the conservation Of
religious resources and effort, is be-
ing formed in this city. The organ
iZatiOn is to be known as the Fed
eral Council of the Churches of
Christ, and Chicago will be the head
quarters of the central district.
Bishop w. F. Mcdowell of the
Methodist church is responsible for
starting the movement here, and he
called 60 ministers and laymen into
a conference at which the plans for
the organization were laid.
The ultimate purpose, he said, is
to bring together all the Protestant
denominations into one great
church. big enough and broad
enought to embrace all of them"
Bishop Mcdowell said the plan
had been sanctioned by 33 denomi-
nations representing 100000 per-
sons, and its purpose was to prevent
the overlapping of church work, the
overlooking of certain religious fields
and the lack of coordination among
the denominations.

considerable difficulty encountered

One Weakness of Socialism.

cA. LOUIS tteDuDIlCs
 The naive belief that while the mak- ing of shoes and breakfast foods and steel rails needs the most careful study and regulation with relation to society's welfare. art, literature, edu- cation. and discovery may be trusted tO grow spontaneously in the other wise unfertilized soil of mere "suffIc- lent leisure"-that given short enough hours of work and large enough pay. good books, great newspapers. good schools. happy homes. beautiful pie lures, ano sublime music will some- how make themselves-simpIy proves that while the socialist has given a great deal of attention to the condi- tions that environ the making oof a shoe or steel billet he has given none at all to those which govern the making of anything which cannot be measured by the yard or weighed by the pound or at least quote f. O. b. cars at St. Louis or New York.
 What are the conditions. for exam pie, which sting the human mind to the production of good literature? Are they communal ownership of proper ty. abundance of food and infinite leisure to contemplate the glories of nature? If so. the islands of the South Seas. where the fish fill the nets, the cocoanuts hang from the trees. and the "league-long roller" thunders all day On the coral reef should give us the masterpieQSs of the world
 Socialism will be forced to face the whole problem of the production of social goods, intangible as well as tam gible, before tt Is even considered se- rlously by the majority of American citizens

A Boston Special to The Chicago kec-
 ord-Herald, says:
 Boston, the city of culture, has new wonder to marvel at and boast Of In lhe person of 11-year-old William J. Sidls' son of pr. Boris Sidis, of Al University road. Brookline.
 William has just matriculated at Harvard University and he gives prom ise of completing the reg ular academic course in much less time chan Is ordi- narily required. Both the boys pa rents are physicians and are Russians and being themselves unusually en- dowed with intellect, are very natural ly proud of their rosy-checked phe- nomenon. Comparatively few months not enough to make up many years at any rate, were spent by the boy under the instruction of teachers. Most oI what he has learned. and his knowl- edge appears to be limitless, even now has been picked up by tae child him self. unassisted, even by h:s parents

 If ever a boy was self-cducated this 11-vear-old wonder Is. His mother and father aver that they do not teach him. He simply got books from the library and learned unassisted. When he was he was sent to the Runkle school. The school authori- ties placed him in one or the hlgher grammar grades. but withdrew him af- ter six months for he knew more than they taught at that school, and 1t would have been a waste or tune 10 have kept him longer with the other pupils, ordinarily bright enough but drones compared 10 him

He was allowed to study whenever he wished and whenever he liked. If he elected to go for a walk he could do so; if he chose to stay tn the house he did: if he wished to study geometry he was his own master. He was never forced along any particular line.

WHAT IS HYOMEI?
You Have Heard About the Catsrrh Cure E. 6. Fowler Guarantees.

Hyomei is a wonderful antiseptic, so powerful that 1t promptly destroys germ life. yet its action on the mucous membrane is extremely soothing and healing It relieves catarrh in five minutes; it cures in a few weeks or money back.
 It Is made chiefly of eucalyptus and eucalyptol taken from the eucalyptus forests of inland Australia. The medi- cal profession knows that eucalyptus is an absolutely certain germ destroyer and with the active principles of eu- calyptus as a base Hyomei is made more efficient, pleasant and quick act ing by the addition of Thymol. an anti septic and disinfectant largely employ ed in the Listerian System. GuRiaco! and other important medicinal agents are also included in the Hyomei for mula, which. without doubt is the greatest destroyer of catarrh germs the world has ever known.
 Hyomei is & powerful. penetrating antiseptlc that is pleasant to use. It does not contain a particle of cocaine, opium or any habit-forming or injur- ious drug.
 No dosing the stomach when you use Hyomei Just breathe it in through the small inhaler that comes with each outfit. Sold by leading druggists ev- anywhere and in Montgomery by E. G. Fowler $1.00 for complete outfit.

Determination to Fight Fire Chiefs Re- election is Outspoken-AIderme Lowe and Sullivan Talk of
 EmbrOgIfo - Serious
 Charges Pending.

The determination of the anti SBrow- der faction of the City Council~to oust the Fire Chief from his office despite the avowed intention of Mayor-elect Gaston Gunter to reappoint him for the ensuing term. Is evidenced by the free- dom with which those cognizant of the measures contemplated discuss them.
 Rumors that have for some time been rife on the streets to the effect that the opponents of MT. Browder were gath ering afidavits against him was con hrmed yesterday by two members of the Council.
 f Alderman Lowe, in discussing the Browder ernbroglio yesterday said:
 Tt is true that we have afffdavits against Chief Browder but it Is yet .un- decided what use will he made of them. At first impeachment proceedings were contemplated and the affidavits were originally secured for that purpose. Now. however. 1t is about decided to lay the affidavits, together with the findings Of. the investigating commit tee before Mir. Gunter to deter him, if possible. from reappointing Mir. Brow der. Mir. Gunter has said that no promise he has made to appoint any man to once will bind him If 1t be shown that the candidate be unfit for the position. think we can lay enough evidence before Mir. Gunter to prove to him that Mir. Browder Is certainly un- fit for the position he holds and there fore should not be reappointed." Alderman Sullivan said last night:
 T have never seen any of the affida- wits against Mir. Browder but have had, every opportunity to do so. One of the affidavits against MT. Browder accuses him of using the citys feed stuffs for animals that were his private property. This affidavit is sworn to by Charles Hinderer, an ex-captain of the Are de- pertinent.
 Another afidavit charges him with padding of pay rolls and favoritism among the men; this Is sworn to, think. by an ex-fireman by the name of Wells"
