Diplomatic GOSSIP,

An English diplomat, at a dinner In
Lennox, said of Mrs. Langtry:
When she was at the summit of
her beauty and her fame-when
crowds followed her in Bond street
and the Row-she met, at a semi-royal
dinner. an African king.
Mrs. Langtry, dazzling in her
beauty, sat beside this king. She was
u good spirits, and she did her very
best to amuse and please him. And
she must have succeeded, for, at the
dinners close. he heaved a deep sigh
and said to her:

Crops and Future Prices.

The long period of drouth in many
sections Of the corn belt has been
broken. and thee rops. having had
good wetting, are in much better grow
ing con dition than ten days ago. Still.
the rains, spotted at they were, have
benefited some sections more than 9TH
ers. and the crop news isn't all OF
cheerful nature There are sections
where corn is Of good stand and color,
but a little shorter than ordinary at
this time Of year. Hot weather now
is needed to help along the whole Sit
uation, and little rain occasionally
will turn pessimism to the winds.
A few weeks ago the country had
high hopes of an overabundance OF ev-
,erything produced on the farms. ana
consumers, after reading cheerful re-
ports from rural districts, began TO De-
iieve that foodstuffs would be cheaper
another year. Recent weeks or dry
weather have, however, changed this
view OF things, and it now looks like
another year of strong prices Tor all
foodstuffs. Having no material surplus
stocks OF grain, the country is in need
of an abundant crop this year, and
failure Of materialixation Of big yields
can not but hold the prices up to a
hiRh figure. Two months ago the coun-
try was inclined to sell corn and wheat
futures freely, but the fact that there
are fewer people now inclined to take
risks on the market going down is good

The Strawpile


ways from being made The whole
question OF prices for livestock and
feedstuff is yet to be settled by the
success or failure of the drouth sec
tons Of recent weeks to show recovery
from the adverse weather effects. One
gratifying feature OF the corn situa-
ton Is the good stand and the clean
fields. Scarcity OF rain has been a
ban to good weed crop, and the activ-
ity Of the corn growers in keeping
weeds out OF corn has been a saving
factor in Its growth. There Is still
time for big yield. and the encour-
aging reports from nearly all sections
within the last week lead to the belief
that thee rop, while not likely to estab-
lish new records. will prove plenty
large enough for the demands.
The price can not go to a particular
~ low level. Low priced corn is far
OFF in the United States. Constructive
capacity at home, together with the
export demand, is too large to admit Of
a return to really low price basis at
least as long as the farmers OF the
corn belt DO not become too lax IN pro-
ducing livestock at volume sufficient to
demand farm consumption OF tho pro-
portionate quota OF the croA

Mistaken Belief. About Manure.

1t is argued by some farmers that
hauling manure out on the field every
month In the year is a mistake, and
that II spread out in midsummer the
sun will scorch it to finder ana burn
out all the good. The Maryland ex.
pertinent station some years ago de-
termined to test this theory. with the
result that its experiment have ex-i
ploded two very common beliefs. the
summer-burning theory being one Of
them.
The other commo nbelief which has
been proved wrong Is that it is better
to plow manure under in the fall than
to leave it exposed on the lands SUR
face during the winter and then plow
1t under in the spring. In thu flrse
instance manure spread in July and
allowed to stsid until the following
spring gave ritter results that that

Green M.nurIna,

Green manuring is much talked
about, but little practiced. except in
cidentaliy. Glover crops are too yalu-,
able to be plowed into the soil; it pays
better to feed the clover to the stock
and use the manure for enrichins the
land. The incidental method OF green
manuring Is to pillow under a sod after
a crop has been taken of. Green ma
nuring helps sandy land by making it
more retentive OF moisture and by adj
ding humus and plant food It helps
clayey land by making it more open
and letting in the air. The decaying
vegetable matter also produces acids
that operate on the chemical plant
foods to render them available Green
manuring helps to make chemical fer
tilizers more quickly available. The
effects of green manuring are some
times destroyed by putting on at the
same time too much oausttc lime.
which combines with the carbon OF the
decayed vegetable matter.

BURRELL's LONDON CLOTHING
rradar pa-f5s Penn TIican1

Howard Burrell. who still writes for
the Washington Press, have been trav-
cling in England. He wrote q letter
from Lon don in which he detailed some
of his experiences IN prices. This is
part Of what he said:
Shoes, cigars, tobaccos, etc. are as
dear, yea, dearer. than with US, but
clothing! Willis and Smith got. each,
tailor made suit OF long wool worsted
for $3.50. l got two suits ditto. Pot
ter and Pace got each suit Of lighter
goods, tailor made. at $500. Doc.
Wood took four suits. Edwards and
Roberts on INDUCED. See us come
when we get back. These suits would
cost $40 in Iowa.
When Mr.. Burrell gets home his
clothing dealer and his tailor will be
able to show him that he did not get
so much for his $3.50 after all. The
$40 Iowa suit Is made in an entirely
different way. The writer Of this had an
experience Of this kind few years ago.
Out Of necessity he bought a $50 suit
in England, but that was all that it was
worth. 1t was poorly made, compared
with American suits. 1t was not finish
ed In the American way and the suit
would not hold its shape, no matter
how it was treated. And it wore out
very rapidly.
1t was worth 500 and not a cent
more
The suits that Mr.. Burre1l writes Of
are the kind Of suits. SO far as make
| and workmanship are concerned that
| are sold in the SIS no more and no less
stores. A suit from one of these SIS
stores will compare very favorably
with the English suits that Mr.. Bur-
rell bought for $3.50. Or he could
go to ready made clothing store and
get the same goods. better made at
that and for about the same price.
| The truth Of the matter is that In

! in the cities. They are not so particu-

YOUNG WOMAN IN SAN DIEGO
Husband Is Thought to Be in
Northern California with
His Mother

Rumors which have been rife in so
ciety circles in Los Angeles lately to
the effect that Barbee S. Hook, club
man and capitalist, and his bride of a
few months had separated received
confirmation last night from Mrs.
Barbee Hook. Accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. John Pearse, Mrs. Hook
arrived in San Diego last evening.
She denied any knowledge of her hus-
bands whereabouts or of divorce pro-
ceedings having been filed.
Mr.. Hook, accompanied by his moth
er, Mrs. Mary b. Hook, left Los An
geles some ttfme ago. They are be-
lieved to be in Northern California.
Neither he nor his mother have given
out any information. The Herald is
in receipt of the following confirma-
tton of the rumor of separation from
San Diego:
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 30.-Mrs. Barbee
S. Hook and her mother. Mrs. John
Pearse, dropped into San Diego on the
night train from the north tonight as
quietly as they disappeared in the
same direction one day last week.
They refused pointblank to say where
they had been. When Mrs. Hook was
asked if divorce proceedings had been
started she replied:
mo"
When asked if there was going to be
any she said:
"I don't care to say anything about
that. 1 don't care for any notoriety
Barbee and I have separated, but I will
make no statement AS far as I know
there have been no divorce proceed
ings started. I am young girl and
don't care for all this notoriety."
When pressed further for some def
mite information, and after being told
that much had already been published
about her and her husband, Mrs. Hook
replied:
There has been too much notoriety
already. I don't care to be quoted on
the possibility of divorce proceedings"
Mrs. Pearse refused to answer any
questions, referring inquiries to her
daughter Both denied knowing
where Mr.. Hook Is.
