AMERICAN WOMEN CHEATED.

The Marquise de Castellane, moth

the former Anna Gould, says that
American women are imposed upon
by French shopkeepers. She says
that they are made the prey CT

Paris, and that it is only rarely prices
are not married up against them. The
Marquise says 1t actually is discoIr-
aging the way American women re-

there will be a change when Amerl-

WOMEN IN POSTAL SERVICE.
The distinction of first appointing
a woman postmaster does not belong
to America, nor Is the employment
Of women in the postal service ne"
idea. As early as 154S a woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails OF Braine lie COmte, an im'
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war
the principal Office in the postal
service Of Europe was held by Z
woman, Alexandrine de Rue. From
1928 to 1916 she was in charge OF
the mails of the German Empire, the
Netherlands. Burgundy and Lor'
raine. She was known as a master
general of the mails. In America,
Elizabeth Harvey was the first TO
hold a place in the postal department.
She had charge of the letters in

Generally Predicted by Wayne
County Farmers the Local
Price of Wheat Will Be Over
$1.OO for a Year.
CORN CROP YIELD Is
EXPECTED TO BE LARGE
indications Also Are That
There Will Be a Large 0at
Crop in the County-Fruit
Not Injured.

Farmers believe that the wheat crop
of this vicinity will not be more than
60 per cent Of the ordinary yield and
expect the price will remain consider
ably above the dollar mark for more
than q year With this exception,
prospects for q prosperous year among
the farmers of this community are
right.
Much Of the wheat sown last fall fail
ed to make good appearance this
spring and farmers plowed up the poor.
err fields. This was due to the long
drought of last year. Besides the
fact that hundreds of acres were plow-
ed up this spring. many farmers were
unable to plant the usual acreage last
fall and CONSCIOUSLY the acreage will
be much Ian usual.
The q acreage will be large,
much wheat land having been plowed
up to be sowed in this cereal Farm.
ers have prepared their land for corn
planting, which will be commenced
Just as soon as all danger Of frost is
over.
Expect Big Oats Crop.
Farmers are expecting that the oats
crop will be a. large one this year, ow-
ing to the number of acres planted in
1t. and the fact that oats looks to be
in very good condition.
A large amount of rain is needed to
insure good pasturage during the sum-
mer. The grass just at this time is
much shorter than usual, due to the
drought Of last summer and fall. and
because considerable amount Of pas.
turage was burned up. The ground Is
damper just at this time than it has
been for more than year. but farmers
believe that there should be a large
amount of rain yet to insure the bes;
results. The frosts have damaged
the young clover crop and fields look
thin.
Peach and plum trees are in bloom
and have not been injured as yet by
cold weather. The other trees are
still we'll protected and can stand q
moderate cold spell, it Is believed, with
out injury.
