Washington.-A loss of 100000
900 bushels of grain, the nations
greatest farm crop, has resulted from
the great damage wrought by drought
and other conditions since July l.,
the governments agricultural experts
estimated in their August report. A
total production of 2,672, 100000 BUSH
els of corn was predicted. This is
452,O0O,0O0 bushels less than last
years cop.
The general condition of corn was
placed at 75.S per cent of normal.
compared with 500 on July l. Kan
sas was hit hardest, the condition
there having been reduced from 81
per cent in July to 80 per cent August
/. Oklahoma came next with a con-
dition of A against 81 in July, and
Nebraska reported 67 against 81 July
/. These three states have almost 10
per cent of the total area planted to
corn this year.
A bright spot in the monthly grain
report were the preliminary statistics
showing a production of 100000
bushels of winter wheat. This Is the
SlSdleSl harvest VI Wutdl eNcI
gathered in the United States, ex-
ceeding the record crop of 1902 by 49,
100000 bushels. The figures exceeded
by 2S,000000 the estimate made by
the department in July.
Spring wheat, too, was given an in
creased estimate OF production, it be-
ing 100000 bushels more than the
July estimate. the total being placed
at 233.000,0OO bushels. With the
bumper winter wheat crop and a fair
ly good spring wheat production, the
total harvest of all wheat is esti-
mated at 744.OOO,OOO bushels. A crop
this size would place the years pro-
duction second only to the record crop
of 1901, when 74S.OO0,0O0 bushels were
produced.
The harvest of white potatoes, it is
estimated, will be smaller by s2,000.-
900 bushels than the crop of 1912. A
total of 339.00O,0OO bushels is esti.
mated

Denver-The residence section of
Denver was deserted Tuesday while
the spectacular pageant of $4,000 be-
plumed knights wound it's lengthy
course over the downtown thorough
fares.
The pageant covered thirty-nine
city blocks after it headed into Eight
eenth street from the point of forma-
tion on Eighteenth avenue. There
was a line Of people three and four
deep along both sides OF these squares
for the entire distance.
A conservative estimate places the
number of spectators of this impress
sive, epoch-malsing parade at 100000
There may have been more than 150,-
900 men, women and children lining
the streets and occupying vantage
points in windows, on roofs and in
and alleyways.
Suffice it to say never was there
such an outpouring of people in Den
yer before. Home folk and visitors,
all were there. Mothers with babes
in arms. School children by the
thousands. Young girls in gala dress.
Young men and very old men.
Millionaires and Iaborers
The grand stand across from the
stadium, was packed with 10000 souls.
The greatest jam probably was
noted at the court house, where Gov
ernor Ammons, his military staff and
the state and county officers oc-
ing stand
1t was an appreciative living wall of
humanity through which the knights
took their way. The applause was
liberal and evenly divided. The drill
corps naturally aroused the most en-
thusiasm. Each team executed diff
cult movements that added a delight
full novelty TO the procession.

secret session after the welcoming
ceremonies and proceeded TO the real
business of the convention. Grand
Master Hart of the Colorado grand
commandery extended the hearty Ma
sonic greeting. Grand Master Melish
of the triennial encampment read his
report
In his address Mayor Perkins dwelt
but little on the welcome which Dem
yer thus officially extended to hon.
ored guests. His initial statements as
sumed that the knights knew they
were welcome. The city's prepara.
tions for their coming were not mem
toned. He compared the Denver of
1892 when the knights made their
first visit west with the Denver of to-
day, and placed the greater Denver
with all its beauty and hospitality at
their disposal He concluded by
wishing them pleasant memories of
their stay commensurate with the ex-
alted love which every citizen Of Den
yer feels for his city and state.

Heat is Quick to
Affect the BooUe1s
Well-Known Fact That Extreme
Heat Conduces to Chronic
Constipation.

So many people are in the habit OF
eating cold food in hot weather that
constipation is very common during
summer. III is best 10 vary the food
and have some hot things, as. for ex-
ample. soups and hot FISH and meats.
if that is to be the diet. Ice water
should be drunk sparingly.
In spite of all care people will be-
come constipated, and If you find
yourself in that condition you can get
immediate relief by the use Of DR..
Caldwells Syrup Pepsin. There is no
time OF the year when you should be
more careful of constipation than in
the summer, for many of the serious
illnesses as well as the fatalities re-
suit from clOgging up Of the bowels.
You also need general good health to
Withstand the heat. and hence Syrup
Pepsin is best to take because il con-
tains tonic ingredients that help to
build up the entire system.
Numerous users throughout the
land will verify these facts, among
them Mr.. George c. Allen, 40S y.

covered his health completely after
using only two bottles; and Miss

TOURISTS CHARMED
BY SCENIC STREAM
New York Men Follow st. 10
Seph River From HiIISdaIe,
Mich, After Listening to
Legend of "TreaCherouS
Water"

Stopping for dinner at the Misha-
waka Saturday evening a party of
four men en- route from New York
city To Los Angeles took occasion to
comment on the beauty of the ST.
Joseph river. The men termed the
stream that passes through Misha-
waka the Hudson of the west" add
ing that for natural scenery and lack
of artificiality the "Treacherous Wa
ters" of the Indians surpassed any
thing they had encountered on their
trip.
Business called the tourists out of
their way to Hillsdale, Mich. At this
place they overheard the legend of
the st. Joseph river, and, being inter-
ested in the story and having plenty
of time they decided TO forsake their
road guide" As far as South Bend
and follow the river.
From its source at Hillsdale to this
city, the florists claim the river lived
up to all the storyteller at Hillsdale
had claimed for it. The men camped
Friday evening on the banks of the
stream near Bristol and spent the
greater part of Saturday morning in
a canoe along the river at this place.
The men making the trip are Leon
Haskill, Charles Downing, Harrison
Colby and John Trask. The first
three are connected with tire manu-
featuring concern of New York, while
the latter is newspaper man. Al
though on a pleasure trip the men are
experimenting along the way with a
new tire invented by Haskin. The
tire is a semi-pneumatic and if it with
stands the trip in good order will be
marketed by the New York concern.
Many photographs are ebeing taken
along the way and they are to be used
in a booklet being written by Mr..
Trask of the party. 1t is said that the
legend of the ST. Joseph river and
views taken along its banks will hold
a prominent place in Mr.. Trask 5
printed account of the journey.

act on the bill that is anything but
good. and if the management engages
the same class of acts throughout the

good patronage.
The theater itself has undergone
many repairs since the season closed

1t would be hard to say just which
act is the top liner as all OF them are
worthy Of that place. Donovan and
Arnold have a nonsensical act en-
titled "All Mixed Up" Where the
name comes from is a question but
the name is not the act. Donovan has
some good Irish dialect that keeps the
audience laughing throughout the act.
Most of his comedy is carried on in
monologue, but he is capable Of put
ting il across so that il does not be-
come tiresome.
Arthur Deming a black face come
dian. is one that Is known 70 SOuln

business for years. and came here
with a new act. He has several good
parodies and his jokes are new and
