In arriving at the prospective wheat
yields in the northwest there is con-
siderable confusion. In the first place.
the government has used, evidently,
the old average basis for arriving at
the area sown this season, which, ac-
cording to the census. was much too
high for Minnesota. II Ia suggested,
however. that the North Dakota acre
age is too low and that the aggregate
figures Of spring wheat acreage in the
three states as estimated now is not
far away from the census area.
A further difficulty presents itself
in estimating the probable harvest.

Dat Area Lower.

THE acreage of oats was not quite
so large as 1t was last year. but the
one-tenth OF one per cent reduction Is
substantially immaterial. The crop
prospects are not so promising as a
year ago. Last years production was
the largest ever recorded. The con.
dition Of the crop indicates a yield
per acre of 27.7 bushels as compared
with $40 last year and % for the av.
erage of the last FIVE years. This
would make a total production Of
about 1873 less than last year. but 4.s
per cent more than the average Of
the last five years.
THE condition OF all crops in the
Pacific northwest, particularly in
Washington and Oregon, Is notably
fine. II any one feature Of the month
covered by the report stands out
above another. It was the drought
which prevailed during May practical
ly throughout the country. 1t affected
materially not only the condition Of
winter wheat. but also the hay crop,
which is one of the greatest crops OF
the country. That drought now, how
ever. has been largely relieved IN all
narfs of the country"

MAY was unfavorable for winter

creased acreage there probably will
be between three and four per cent
more winter wheat produced than last

 $. The blue laws of Connecticut were very rigid in the first part of the nine teenth scentury, and we find many amusing accounts in the town records of punishments meted out to offenders who failed to keep the sabbath day. This tableau represented culprit in the stocks while the populace pelted him with eggs.
 9. On July 1, 1870, while President of tbe United States, Gen. Ulysses $. Grant visited Woodstock at the first one of MT. Bowen's celebrations, and commemorated the event by planting an elm tree on the lawn in front of the Academy.
 From gleanings such as these it is quite evident that almost any Ameri. can town, even very small one, can produce similar pageant. There is always plenty of material at hand and given band of able and enthusiastic workers the results will far exceed ex- pectations and be most instructive to all concerned, players and spectators. Aside from the spectacular features of  such pageants they are of great value In awakening the people to an intelli- gent interest in local historic events. Many need just such an awakening. There are hundreds of people today who while pluming themselves on thelr owledge of United States his tory, know little or nothing about the history of their own town or village.
 Thus Woodstock advice to other communities would be:
 Read the history of your town ana county. Look up the town records. Examine all the old engravings you can ind as help toward the cos. tumes. Then search the old home. steads for costumes and accessories an easy task when almost every one has something that will help out. Ton will soon find yourself absorbinglv in- terested in the outcome of your pap. cant, and the amount of your enthusi- asm and zeal will determine the sue. cess of your efforts. Try and see.

When Edward E. Roses new play. The Rosary with John Meehan in the role of Father Kelly, comes to the Bradley Theatre on Monday, Septem- Der II, local theatre goers will have an opportunity to see pictured before them the growing unrest and irreligion ot our times. It is a faithful picture ot the misery and unhappiness that surely comes upon man who lacks falth in the supreme good and its tri. umphs in our world. Can one evil mind poison whole household? Is the human brain capable of.prodpcing disastrous effects upon household hy adverse suggestive thoughts? Do we realize adequately how our mental at. titudes influence our lives and the lives about us? And the answer? We'll the play is the answer.

 with great dignity and solemnity. In the oN-cart of the tabeau the driver is ltneal descendant of the original set tier he impersonates.
 5. In the early days of the Indian ten sought refuge in the old log fort to protect themselves against the red men. It is related that the grandmoth- CT of Oliver Wendell Holmes, then a young belle living in Woodstock, vol unteered to go out from the fort to gather vegetables for the women and children sheltered within. An Indian espied her as she was starting out, but some inclination caused him to refrain from killing her; and years afterward he returned to tell her of her escape from hls tomahawk. The great-great- great granddaughter of this girl im- personated her in the tableau.
 D. In pioneer days the luXuries of modern life were unheard of. Austere was the life and frugal the meals of Woodstock $ sturdy inhabitants. One chronicle tells an amusing incident of Thanksgiving Day. While the head of the family was asking the Divine blessing on the meagre repast, the table was upset by dog and the dinner of milk-pudding destroyed. The family had no Thanksgiving dinner that year. Some of the descendants of this family took part in the tableau depicting the Thanksgiving dinner.

 The Woodstock Pageant
RN- -cnNsrANeE HoIr

BY CONSTANCE HOLT
 Woodstock, in Windham County, Conn, Is one of the oldest and most beautiful towns in News England. It was founded in 1886, and remains 10 this day quiet and secluded village. Many of it's present inhabitants are di- rectly descended from thesoriginal set tiers, tho of late years a large influx of Swedish immigrants has taken up many abandoned farms.
 During the past generation, however, Woodstock has been chiefly known for,its long series of Fourth of July celebrations, where Presidents Grant, Hayes, Harrison and Mckinley, and scores of other distinguished men, ad- dressed the gatherings on the old "Common" and later al Roseland Park. These celebrations were origi mated and carried out by the late Hem " C. Bowen, the proprietor of the h. dependent, and the older readers of this magazine will recall the full re- lOils ui AAAS slSSShSo tAat "NAS IiAhNNo in it's columns.
 Since MT. Bowen's death they have been discontinued, but this summer the old common again witnessed an- other celebration, this time, however, of a new kind.
 There have been many pageants giv en turnout the country within the past few years. The young people of Wood stock decided 10 make use of it's rich historical material in a similar pa- eeant. The expenditure of large sum of money was out of the question, but plerty of genuine old-fsshioned costumes and properties were availa- ble in many an old garret and were willingly loaned for the occasion. An appointed committee searched the old histories and town records and inter vie wed the oldest inhabitants for inter esting bits of information and local color.
 On beautiful afternoon last month August l2) four or five hundred peo- ple assembled on thei common. There inc pageant was given, followed by a series of nine tableaux depicting bits |

of the towns history from early In- dian days down to modern times. A procession of over fifty people in cos tune headed by a bugler marched down the length of the common, a large open green surrounded by tower ing trees. Settees were placed under the trees for the spectators and the back stop osthe ball field near the cen ter of the common was banked with houghS of evergreen and laurel, behind which the procession made it's "green room, and in front of which the tab leauX were given. A short description of each tableauN, taken from some an cient chronicle, was read before it's presentation. The following historical incidents furnished scenes for the nine tableauX:
 1. Among the many stories of h. dian days that have come down to us, is that of John Winthrop's starving colony in Boston, and how the Wabba- quasset Indians, hearing of it, gath cred large quantities of corn in sacks and bore them on their backs all the way to the infant settlement on the MaSsachusettsBa Bay over the trail which later was known as the old Connecti- cut Path. This incident furnished the first tableau and all the players imper- sonated Indians.
 ?. The story of John Eliot is per haps more familiar. We all know of how he preached the gospel to the h. dians in his tour thru the wilderness, which is now Connecticut. To this day the granite rock in Woodstock on which he preached can, be seen, and is held in sacred memory by the towns. people.
 8. In the coming of the first settlers to Woodstock, we are told of the jour- ney down from Roxbury, Mass, when each man brought lhis family and all his belongings in an ox.cart with a COW | and sheep tied behind, and 6 box of 1 chickens, cooking utensils and rude | farm implements loaded within. Be- fore these settlers arrived thirteen men had gone ahead as pioneers 10 prepare for the coming colonists. From these a committee of seven were appointed to stake out the highways and decide
