CROP FAILURE.

Every year we hear of crop failure.
But this year the cry was louder and
longer than usual and some well in
formed men and large number Of pa
pers all over the country were sure
that the "failure'' of the corn crop
at least was surely at hand, and they
were sincere in their belief.
The United States has SO many kinds
of climate and the climatic condition
in different parts of the country are
SO varied that failure of crops is al
most impossible. mis- year the coun-
try had the "biggest scare it has had
for several years, yet the outcome is
satisfactory. The following editorial
from the Saturday Evening Post gives
the facts as follows:
cat the end of summer somewhat
more narrowed with doubts than usual,
barring the chance of heavy frost
in the corn belt, the grain crops are
now made 1t is in order, then, to
remark that year in and year out, in
spite of all alarms Of drought, flood
and bugs, the grain crops do pretty
regularly manage to mature. The Gov
ernment's September report indicates
corn crop yield only a little below the
record and well above a five-year av7
erage. Only once in ten years-in 1901
has there been any really extensive
damage to corn. Then the yield, as com.
pared with the average of the three
preceding years, declined about twenty
five percent. One must go back to 1894
to find the next failure The year S
wheat crop is only four per cent under
the average Of the last five years, and
only once in ten years-in 1904-has
the yield fallen below six hundred mil
lion bushels. Oats-a more variable
crop-break the record this year and
exceed billion bushels for the second
time The year of the last corn crop
failure" 1901, was the year that pro
duced the greatest wheat crop ever
harvested in this county; and in 1904,
when wheat production suffered a big
shrinkage, the yield Of corn was above
the average. Cotton production, it is
true, fuctuates rather more violently
than grain production. Beginning with
1904, the following numerals, express
ing billions Of bales, show the successive
yields: 1917, 1914, 1917, IL 1-3, 1874,
1913. But failure of the crops is
pretty nearly an unthinkable calamity.

QUARTERLY REPORT.
Clerk of Municipal Court Sends Report
For July, August and September.

For July, August and September.
Clerk Of the Municipal Court James
=. Tnlly today sent to the city and
county treasurer the quarterly report
OF the municipal court for the months
of July, August and September The
report shows that during the months
a total of SO sspaid'' city cases. were
handled in the court. This includes on
ly cases where the fines and costs were
paid and in addition to this number
there were more than twenty city cases
IN which the fines were served out in
the county Jail. The total fines and
costs collected from these cases was
$64T.09 and the total cost to the city
OF the trial of the cases amounted to
$26.Sl. leaving the total amount to
be turned over to the city for the three
months 1920. The report on state
cases showed a. total of 100 criminal
cases in the three months and the total
OF fines and costs collected and turned
over to the county treasurer reached
the high sum of $1666.47. This in
cludes the cases under the old justice
court system as well as the state cases.
The amount of the fines and costs has
been swelled considerably during the
quarter as a result of the activity of
the deputy game warden, he having
made many arrests and in many cases
the fines assessed against these defend
ants were large. The business of the
court shows a. slight increase over the
corresponding period of last year.
There were during the quarter SO civil
cases tried in the court and most of
these cases were cases which would
have gone to the circuit court under
the old regime. It seems certain that
the municipal court will be better than
self sustaining this year as the costs
OF it's maintenance which will be
borne jointly by the city and county
are not expected to be in excess of
$4,000 and if the work of the court
keeps up at the present rate the amount
received by the city and county
from the court will be largely in ex-
cess of this amount. Of course some
of the fines are paid over to the state
but even with the elimination of this
money it is expected that the amount
received from the court will be consid-
erably greater than last year.

MRS. BRADFORD SPEAKS.

The students and teachers of the
College of Commerce enjoyed a half
hour talk by Mrs. Bradford Thursday
morning The long, exacting career Of.
the superintendent in the school room
and the class room makes everything
she says important to those engaged in
educational work. A more interest
ing and telling address has not been
delivered at the college for a long time.
The main topic of thought was cop
portunity, : but opportunity means
nothing to the young man and woman
unprepared to grasp it. The absolute
necessity for preparation by systematic
training for the larger chances in life
was interestingly and strongly dwelt
upon. The many students of the col
lege who were formerly in the grades
and in the high school are always glad
to see the teachers, principals, and
superintendent now engaged in the
work which formerly interested them.

1t is little disgusting to read the
discussion in some of the state papers

just possible the rugged old Uncle Ike

his full term and by coming up for
