Crop Conditions in the u. S. and Enu.

Secretary James Wilson, of the De-
partmcnt of Agriculture, in speaking
OF the crop conditions of the United
States and Great Britain, says: In the
United States, notwithstanding a hard
inter, which killed out about 20 per
cent OF the winter heat area, and late
and unfavorable spring which hamper
ed the early planting and cultivation Of
crops, the past few months have been
% favorable as to overcome the early
handicap TO crops Prospects now are
that supplies will be normal, or some
what better than the average of recent
years. Some crops, as oats and barley,
will exceed any previous years yield,
and even wheat, which early in the
season indicated a yield of only about
$4,000, 900, now promises $4,000, 900
bushels or mOre-which has only been
exceeded four times and may be re-
garded as very fair crop. The corn
crop, the most important of all crops,
IS not yet out of danger, but expecta-
lions now are that more than two
billion eight hundred million bushels
viii be raised, which is close to a rec
ord crop The hay crop also is abund-
ant With a large supply of feed being
harvested, it is natural that farmers
should hold their young and immature
stock, to consume il, causing a temper
AIRY shortage of beef on the market,
but insuring a larger supply in the
future.
THE crop conditions in Great Brit
ain, according to the report of the
British Board of Agriculture as to
Augustiirst, are unsatisfactory, owing to
the wet and stormy weather last month
over the greater part of England and
Wales. Harvest had at the date of
the report begun in the southern part
the country and warmer weather and
sunshine We're much desired. The
prospect for wheat Was about two per
cent below average, but barley promis-
ed TO toe the best Of all cereals. Oats
Is u very poor crop and the yield is
estimated to he nearly 10 per cent
short Of an average in England and
Wales, Beans have not done well
during july and the prospects for this
crop are lowered. Peas have suffered
TO an even greater extent. The ex-
iessDve wet weather has been detri-
mental to potatoes and disease is pre-
valent sunshine alone will save tho
crop from furiher injury"

whose visits make you bless her when
she has gone, and feel that you have

We cannot honor with too deep a

not cherish them with too much solicit

nothing by being polite and kind to

kindly attention TO mother, bright eyes
will see the act and is sure to do Just
like papa.

HOME CIRCLE COLUMN.

If all MARI ages were contracted in
churches there would be far fewer di-
vorces, is the opinion of Justice Joseph
G. Donnelly of Milwaukee, Wis, civil
court. Few of our readers will differ
with the opinion Of this wise Judge.
Judging from appearances the opinion
of Judge Donnelly will be timely and
should be pasted in the hats Of several
of our young couples He says.
"There should be first of all paren-
tai consent. Then there should be the
ceremony performed by minister in
a church before the friends of both the
man and the woman. There should e
the ring and the wedding march and
all the other little touches-call them
sentimental if you will--that go with
the acceptance of sacred responsible
ty. And it should have the proper
setting.
"Take the other side of the picture.
The young couple rush to the license
clerk; possibly just before closing time;
to keep it out of the papers. They
turn to the nearest Judge and apply
for a special dispensation.
"They are taken into his chambers.
There is nothing here to remind them
of the nature of the contract into
which they are about to enter. A few
musty law volumes; the smell OF stale
tobacco smoke in the air; perhaps a
few minutes before, a woman'o OF the
under world has sobbed out pitiful
story of sordd shame to a calloused
lawyer.
"What is there in this environment
to maintain the impressiveness of the
beautiful sacrament of marriage? VIII
the average man and woman regard
the ceremony performed in law Office
With that feeling of awe and reverence
that must come when two persons
meet at Gods altar to plight their
troth?
Sentiment is a strong safeguard
and | believe that if more marriages
were performed in churches, there
would be fewer divorces"

Some forty years ago and more, we
stood as it were, a barefooted boy at
the base OF rugged mountain, and
cast our eyes far up the hillside,
where nearly, or quite half way up the
winding pathway we discovered you
and you-and you as, toiling along the
rough, uncertain mountain side: you
sought to gain the hill top. We gazed
moment and then with childish Joy,
we started forward in gleeful pursuit
and began to climb the steep ascent.
AS we travelel on, many passed us on
the journey while many others, foot
sore and weary fell out 10y the way,
and we saw them no more
1t was not long until we observed
that those of you who were in advance
but still in view Of us, climbed a little
more slowly, and your gray hairs
thickened and whitened as the years
went flying by; and hoping to under
take and journey with you we pushed
forward with renewed courage and
vigor, until we found our own strength
going and our own steps growing short
or and slowly but at last we reached
the summit almost as soon as those of
you who were already half way there
when we started 'on the toilsome
journey. And we pause for breath
just within the shadow of our declining
years.
Well, here we stand upon the very
apex of life's weary way, and as we
glance backward adown the slope we
have just assembled, and think of the
bright days which shone upon the
highway spread out before us, and
made it look SO pleasant and inviting
when we first began the march with
those who tarried or journeyed with us
at the foot of the hill, or bivouacked
by the wayside, we almost wish we
could begin the journey over with
those other younger folks we see lust
nov coming up the highway. Our
gaze is Backward; downward; their
eyes are forward; upward and fixed
with glowing hope upon this spot
where we are now resting, waiting.
We are living in the past, they, away
out in the future. Hope beckons them
onward, while memory calls us back.
