CROP CONDITION
BELOW Average
COMBINED PROSPECTS LOWEST
IN PAST TEN YEARS.
season WAS UNFAVORABLE
Cotton In Tulsa County Being RAY
aged by Boil Wocvii, says
Professor Esslingcr.


Washington, ID, c.. Sept, g. The
condition Of all crops combined in the
United states .on Sept. !. was ap-
proNimately 1872 per cent below the
average condition then than for the
past ten years, according to the sup
plimental crop report Of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, issued today.
The present crop season has con-
tlnued unfavorable as 1t progressed
toward harvest. General conditions
on August | were about l4.6 per cent
below the average; on July /, about
10.7 below, and on June /. about 2S
per cent below
During August conditions improved
somewhat in most Northern states,
but declined in most Southern states.
Tulsa County cotton will make on
an average Of one-fourth Of bale to
the acre, while two months ago II
was predicted that the yield would av-
erage three-fourths of a bale to the
acre, according to ]. A. Esslinger,
uperintendent OF the Haskell State
Agricultural school at Broken Arrow,
who last night issued a statement re-
garding the effect of the recent rains
on the Tulsa County crops.
The rain did not hurt the cotton
directly hardly at ALL" said Mr.. Ess-
linger, "but did. Of course. breed In
sects Of all kinds. and it is these
insects, such as the boil weevil, that
are ravaging the cotton in this Sec
ton. There is practically no way to
check this destructive work and there
is hardly II cotton field in the county
but is full Of these insects, and as
a result the yield will be cut from
one-fourth to one-half of the bales
expected.
Heavy rains all over the country
in the past few days, especially in the
cotton belt, has caused the price of
cotton futures" in the market centers
TO soar, and there remains the con-
ISOLATION that Tulsa Couty is not
alone in her predicted short yield
Mr.. Esslinger stated that myrlads
of birds are lowering over the corn
and cane fields around Broken Ar
row, and are destroying u large part
Of these crops.
in a field Of kaiHr corn on the
agriculture schools ground" he said
thousands Of birds are practically
destroying the crop. We have made
no attempt to stop the ravages, as the
only known way to do this is to pois-
on the birds or shoot them, and neith-
er plan is effective for several rea-
sons
The recent rains, while proving
rather disastrous to the cotton, have
caused the second planting Of corn,
put in by many farmers after the
drouth had ruined the prospects of
the regular crop, to spring up in
great shape and a fairly big yield
Of corn is therefore expected when
the second crop natures, according to
Mr.. Esslnger.

ELKs' CIRCUS At
HOQUlAM, A SUCCESS
Lodge Does Well on Four Day Show
Netting 1880 for Building
Fund

HOQUIAM, July 6.-Total receipts
of the Elks' circus for the four days
performance amounts to practically
$4,000, according to the report of E.
L. Mcdonnell, treasurer of the circus
committee. OF this amount the ex-
pense of conducting the big enterprise
was between $4,000 and $4,000, thus
assuring a profit of at least $1,000 to
apply on the Elks' building fund.
The receipts of the country store
amounted to 1910 and of the stone man
side show, about $3.50.
The Elks are much pleased with the
success of the enterprise, as for that
matter are the people of Hoquiam,
who have had something new in
Fourth of July celebrations.

BABY WINS PRIZES

Mr.. and Mrs. w. J. Egerer are the
proudest parents in the city and de-
servedly so, for at the baby contest
at Olympia on the Fourth, their baby
boy, Joseph, won three prizes. This
is virtually carrying off the sweeI.
stakes. Mrs. Egerer very modestly
states, however, that it was merely
to make up for the loss of the base
ball series to Olympia. Their friends.
however, do not take that view and
are freely showering congratulations
upon them and the boy.

Town Clock
A Story of Medieval
Times

One needs only to go back a century
to step into a social condition entirely
different from that in which we live
today, and two centuries ago the dif-
ference was far greater.
Nevertheless in that age a faint
streak Of dawn appeared on the hOri-
zon of civilization. Certain implements
that were destined to revolutionize the
world were invented. OF these the
printing press and the timepiece were
perhaps the most notable The clock
at once excited the ingenuity of me-
chanics, and they added to it many
peculiar features. One clock on strik-
ing the hour exhibited figures Of the
twelve apostles. who came out of a
door, walked around a circle and went
back into hiding. Another showed the
Magi adoring the infant Jesus. The
town clock henceforth regulated the
affairs of men. 1t established the
hours for labor and for worship.
In the town Of Zweirhofen, in Ger
many, Carl Zweigler had made the
clock high up in the tower that stood
In the market place. And. having built
it, he alone knew how to regulate and
repair it. If it stopped either Zweigler
must start it and keep it going or it
remained stopped. With it the good
people of Zweirhofen also stopped
And if it remained stopped they re-
manned stopped also. They did not
know at what hour to assemble for
trade or for prayer. They did not
know when to go to bed or to rise. If
a prisoner We're sentenced for speci
fed term no one knew when that term
began or ended. If man were SEN
fenced to be hanged on certain day
and hour no one knew when the sen.
tence was to be executed.
One day old Frau Becker appeared
before the judge Of the court and &C
cused Gretchen Dagner. a lovely CIR
of eighteen, of being witch.
What evidence" asked the judge
"have you to corroborate your accusa
tion?"

her yard, and she fell down in Il fit

at the place where she fell and saw
that she had been vomiting crooked
pins. And as looked each pin turned
into a tiny snake and wriggled away"
THAT is serious indeed" said the
judge. writing down the accusation.
Have you seen anything else?"
Eyes. At midnight l was awakened
by a screech, and, going to the window,
saw the girl emerge from the chimney
and ride away ON broomstick."
Worse yet" said the judge, with
lowering brow. Anything else?"
NO, nothing that l am ready to
swear to-
Are there other Witnesses"
MY son Hans saw the witch fly
away from the chimney on broom
stick"
Il shall have the wench arrested and
brought before me on the morrow. Be
sure to come to make good your state
ments."
On the morrow the maiden, terror
stricken, was brought in the court. and
there before the judge sat the old bag
and her son Hans, who swore to what
the woman had said the day before.
When the Judge turned to Gretchen
and asked her what she had to say to
the charge she pronounced it lie.
saying that she had refused to marry
Hans and for that he and his mother
had taken this revenge. But the judge
considered the evidence too explicit to
be disbelieved and felt that the COM
munity was in too great danger to
warrant the taking of any risk. II
Gretchen were a witch she should be
got away with before she could propa-
gate her witchcraft. And were not
here two good witnesses. who had
seen evidence of her sorcery? The
result was that he ordered her back to
prison and directed the jailer to put
q grating over the chimney that she
might not fly away. That day week
she was to be burned at the stake.
The morning after this sentence
