WASHINGTON, Oct. l1.-Ofhcial
figures issued by the crop reporting
board OF the department OF agricul-
ture paint a glowing picture OF ma
terial prosperity for the United States,
says q special TO the Chicago Recora-
Herald.
Corn and oats are bumper crops, the
former having three billion bushels
and the latter exceeding last years
Dillion-bushel crop by nearly lOO,-
100000 bushels.
Even the wheat crop turns out TO
be only 45,0O0,000 bushels behind the
big yield OF 1909. and has been ex-
ceeded but four times In the nation 8
history.
The great states OF the Mississippi
valley have rolled out fatness galore,
breaking the record for acreages and
yield Of corn and promising the coun-
try fat hogs without limit. While the
figures above show that the corn
yield Is q trifle below the 5000. 900, 000.-
bushei mark, this report was made up
only to Oct. 1. Since that data even
the stragglers Of the 1910 corn crop
have come under the safety line. The
November report will take note CT
these and will also tell the country
that many millions OF bushels OF the
crop Of 1909 are still on hand. This
old corn will fatten the Juveniles OF
the swine family that were not In evil
dence previous to last spring and
summer.
The present corn crop is EOS. 900, 900
bushels larger than that OF last year
and IL over 50.000.000 bushels larger
than the previous bumper crop--thst
of l906--which was 2.927 600 900 bush
els. The states south OF the Ohio
river and the Missouri and Kansas
/, lines have raised more than round
billion of bushels OF corn. something
heretofore unheard Of The south will
have hog and hominy In profusion-
and a good bunch OF corn for export.
The export promise for the north
ern corn Is also good. II Ia In high
favor abroad. but II will have TO COM
pete with comparatively low priced
Argentine corn that Is now being
headed toward Europe at rate OF
100000 to 100000 bushels a week.
Until last year a crop OF billion
bushels of oats in America was un-
known. This year there Is good.
ncdfulY cbdtt vi tHC DONOhu ph's0st,
the official preliminary estimate for
1910 making the yield 100000. 900
bushels. In addition to being the
largest crop OF oats ever grown, the
quality is exceptionally fine and the
weight per bushel "a amonH the heavi-
est ever recorded. There IL plenty OF
feed for all Of the animals In need OF
the grain In this country. In addition
to large quantities available for ex-
port-providing the producer here Is
willing to get into competition with
the worlds markets.
The production Of spring wheat. as
estimated by the crop reporting board
for 1910, was 233. 475,000 bushels. conf
pared with 290.S23,000 bushels In
1909. the yield per acre being ll.S
bushels, compared with 1873 In 1903,
and 1877 the ten-year average. The
quality was 941 per cent. compared
with $50 the ten-year average.

IF It had not been for the Anti-Sa-

This Is the answer OF Il. w. Mason.
local prohibition worker TO the state
ment made by George w. Morrow.
superintendent OF the Michigan Anti
Saloon league. In The Times. Satur-
day.
Mr.. Morrow says In effect that the
league and the federated church,
which he also represents, Is for right
only when right can win,r continued
Mason. He does not deny that alb.
solute prohibition IL preferable TO To-
cal option. but he explains that the
league does not want to injure its
chances OF securing favorable legis-
laticn by tying up 10 candidates who
have no chance to win.
THE local optionists stand In the
same position with reference to the
temperance question as did the com.
promisers on the slavery question. The
latter. under the leadership OF Stephen
A. Douglass, wanted the majority to
determine whether slavery was to be
permitted or not. But Lincoln took
the stand that IL the majority was for
slavery and majority was wrong and
that righteousness demanded the
abolition of slavery.
The Anti-Saloon league, like the
followers of Douglass, is willing to
compromise. IL the majority OF the
electors In this county or that county
say that liquor shall be sold there they
are willing to abide the decision OF
the majority. The Prohibition party
Is against the sale and manufacture
of liquor because IL 10 wrong and
nothing can make II right Neither
can there be any compromise.
Long ago the liquor interests saw
the prohibition sentiment rising In
Michie..n. They saw their opportunity
for compromise In the local option
plan and they grabbed at the chance
The energy that otherwise would have
expression in a demand for statewide
prohibition has been dissipated
through the local option channels and
the opportunity to secure statewide
prohibition has been lost for the time
being.
1.-The Anti-Saloon league likewise
has been opposed to statewide pro
hibition. 1t was against II In North
Carolina on the ground that the time
was not ripe. yet north Carolina went
dry by a majority OF 10000. The
league opposed statewide prohibition
In Oklahoma and still more recently
In Missouri, and was against IL when
the question came up In our own con
stitutional convention. The time was
not ripe 10 do right, the leaders said
In substance.
"Mr. Morrow insists he Is receiving
good reports Of the results OF Local
option. But here are some facts
would like to have him explain. With
60 per cent of the acreage of the
United States now dry territory the
consumption of liquor for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1910. increased
nine per cent and the consumption OF
beer, IL per cent. These figures are
taken from government reports. How

Tailoring the tub gown, whether 1t
be the two-piece dress or the princess
effect, Is a method with two excellent
results. Tailoring means the strength
oning OF a fairly low-priced material.
and it means very good style for the
simple morning street dress. Any
woman is more willing to appear in
the well-made, we.l-stitched cotton
gown that, therefore, has snap to 1t,
than she would be to wear slung-
together dress bearing the combined
stamp Of rapid sewing and bargain
price. Nothing could save it from
being mistaken for just fair-looking
working dress
TO tailor the tub gown means only
q little DIT more trouble and Is not
half as difficult as ii sounds II does
not mean that one must have learned
the tailor's art. But simply that one
must leave good-si2ed seam every

portions and whether these seams

merely overcast. they are stitched
fiat once or twice on the right side
after the gown is pressed The bodice
seams should be stitched down before
the sleeves are put in; the skirt seams
done before the hem Is turned UP. II
there are blouse or skirt plaits, a
very nice tailors touch is the row OF
stitching near the fold of the plat.
