WHEAT CROP A BUMPER.
Experts Predict, However, Yield May
Fall Short of Last Year.

Washington, D. c. Especially While
this years world acreage sown to wheat
was doubtless the largest in history
235, ,0OO, 900 acres-it is not unlikely, ac-
cording to United States Department of
experts, that the world
yield of wheat will be short of the high
record of last years, ,624 100000 bus
hels. The crop is reasonably certain,
however, to 60 down in history as guam
titatively above the average.

The Enchanted Prince
ny PETER MAHKUS

Once In a certain village there lived
an evil witch, who had changed her
self into a beautiful maiden. A King
passing that way saw her and fell In
love with her He thought her charm
ing and asked her hand. She gladly
gave her hand to the king.
This king had a son and the witch
had son also. The stepmother was
very mean to the poor prince and often
made him work hard. One day she
transformed him into a rabbit. Then
she said, IF any one kisses you on the
face you will instantly resume your
own form"
One day he was IN the woods seek
Ing food when he met pretty girl.
And he wasn't the least bit afraid of
her. Then the latter began to pet him
and kiss him on the face. All at once
he resumed his own form. Then they
both fell In love with each other. So
the wedding was celebrated with great
pomp, and they lived happy ever after.

The Most Familiar Portrait

DO any of my readers know what is
the most common and familiar portrait
in the world? j heard this matter dis
cussed the other evening with rare cru
dition and cogency. One of the gentle
men was sure that RaphaePs "Sistine
Madonna" was the best known por-
trait in the world. Another was all for
Leonardo's Mona Lisa" Still another
conteuded that no likeness was so uni
yersally known as that OF King Edward
on the coins of Great Britain. l men
toned the sphinx, and somebody else
mentioned the Venus of Milo. The dis
cussion was growing warmer, when
mild and callow youth chirped up with
You are all wrong! All of you! The
best known portrait In the world is the
queen OF spades"
He then proceeded TO prove to us,
what, ii seems, is common knowledge
among the cognoscenti, namely, that
the queen of spades is a bona fide like

A Farmers Reward
by REGINA WATSON

While seated under tree resting one
hot day, farmer fell to thinking of
how hard he worked and what little
reward he received. At last he resolved
to leave his lands and go in search OF
fortune. After kissing his wife good
by he shouldered his ak and bundle
containing lunch and clothes and Jared
forth
He soon came to a large city. Hav-
ing no trade at which to work and no
money to pay for lodging. he was soon
set upon and driven to the country.
He hid himself in q lonely forest. but
his quiet was soon disturbed by hear
ing some one weeping. Upon investf-
eating, he found a little old woman,
bent and feeble, who was weeping be-
cause she had not strength to cut and
carry a tree home. This touched the
farmers heart. Straightway he seized
his own ak and after sharpening it on
the sole of his boot cut down several
dead trees, which he cut and bound
into bundles of faggots. These he car
ried to her hut for her. AS he dropped
the last armful at the door he was sur
prised to see the hut disappear and in
place of the old woman stood the fairy
queen.
Your reward for this kindness is
the wood you gathered" she said. He
turned to look, and 10! all the faggots
had been changed to gold. He spent
days In carrying them home to his
wife, and ever afterward they lived in
comfort and plenty.

A Trip to MendocinO County
a TRUE sTORY),

ny Glenn Afford, 1919 Nineteenth 81.
On July we started on a Nunting
trip. Ny uncle met us at Willis. He
drove all the way from Amador coun-
ty in a big camp wagon with a stove.
My aunt Lou and four cousins were
with him. We rode 13 miles in their
wagon and camped In bSautiful place,
right where the Northwestern railway
company is building a track. We saw
where they are making a tunnel.
My cousin, Emma Afford, is just my
age; we had fine time j had birth
day there and mamma made a cake and
baked 1T in the Dutch oven. 1t had
button in it and Emma got the button.
We made our beds out of four poles
driven in the ground with poles laid
across, covered with ferns; they were
not very soft, but we slept fine, with
the stars for our lights. The scenery
was lovely; with lots of wild grape and
huckleberry vines. The poison oak was
just thick, but didn't bother u.s.
We had deer meat all the time after
the 18th and 1t was fine We have
nice set of horns and some snake rat
ties, too; but that is the only thing
about our trip which / didn't like, so
i am not going to tell it.
Almost every night we had company.
An old SOW with nine little pigs came
to see what she could fnd she got in
our apples and one night she ate up
pot of beans Papa made a big pile
of rocks by his bed to throw at her.
We went swimming every night as
the water was nice and warm There
were 20 of us, relatives and friends.
There was farm house near where we
got our milk and vegetables.
AS we were coming home on the cars
we saw deer right close to the train;
she was trying to get through the fence.
When my Uncle Sherman drove off in
that old camp wagon / cried little. /
am not very easy to make cry, but l
don't know when we will all be to-
gether again.

MOTHER FINDS
HER LITTLE ONE
DYING IN COALB|N
Little Girls Body Is Covered
With Stab Wounds and
Bruises.

NEW YORK, May 13.-With her body
covered from head to foot with stab
wounds and bruises inflicted by man
who had dragged her into the cellar OF
her home. at 543 Blake avenue, Browns
vile. Rose Kantrowitz, years old, was
said to be dying in the Jewish Hospital,
Brooklyn, today.
Two dozen policemen from the
Brownsville station and from the
Brooklyn Detective Bureau were at
work last night searching for a man
who had been seen talking to children
a short time before the unconscious
body of the Kantrowitz child was
found.
Mrs. Esther Kantrowitz, mother OF
the injured child, found her lying on
top of heap of coal in a bin when she
went to the cellar to get coal. She
screamed and fell unconscious on the
cellar floor, where she remained until
the appearance few moments later Of
a group of neighbors.
Several persons living in the neigh
borhood told the police they had seen
n man. about six feet tall and dressed
in dark clothes, talking to several chill
dren on the sidewalk near the Kantro-
WITT home The man. the police
learned. carried a small leather hand
bag, similar to a surgeons case.
Most OF the wounds found on the
child's body bear the appearance of
having been inflicted by weapon
having a very keen edge. Several of
the wounds are more than three inches
long. Bruises which covered the child's
body are believed to have been received
while her assailant was dragging her
into the cellar.

WATER COMPANY
D|CKER|NG WITH
NORTH ARLINGTON
Thought to Be Seeking Right
to Lay Mains to
BayOnne.

1t is considered probable that water
may yet be conveyed from the driven
wells of the New York and Suburban
Water Company In Belleville to Bay
onne, IL not to Staten Island. The au-
thorities of North Arlington, who
helped to block the plans of the COM
pany by forbidding the latter to lay its
30-inch main across Passaic, Kearny
and Schuyler avenues in the borough.
have been asked by Turner A. Beall,
head of the company, to arrange for q
conference to discuss a settlement.
The borough would consent to the
crossing of the roads provided the com
pany would pay a toll of $5 a million
gallons on all water passing through
the big main, and on condition that the
company would guarantee not to con-
vey any of the water outside the State.
The company demurred and took the
case to the Court of Chancery. where 1t
is still undecided.
1t Is understood that the borough
might relent if the company would
give the new Roman Catholic cemetery
to the borough as customer. 1t was
stated that the company got it's right of
way through the cemetery by agree
ing to supply water free within the
limits of that 203-acre tract.
If terms can be made for release
from that bargain the company, 1t is
stated will be only too willing to sur
render such a large possible consumer
to the borough in return for the COW
eted privilege of crossing the streets
and completing It's pipe line to Bay
onne.
The borough solons have done MOTH
ing yet, but a conference may be ar
ranged very soon.
