NEW RULE SWEEPS
OFF HUNDREDS OF
STUDENTS MUSTACHES

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, April l6.-Several
hundred young men who attend local
business college were plunged into the
DEPTHS of gloom today by an order d.
recting them to remove at once from
their faces every ves.ige of the fancy lit
tie mustaches they had nourished AMI
cherished in the proud and happy days of
the last few terms. So keen had become
the competition in the culture of these
hirsute decorations, it was declared that
the students began to neglect their stu
dies in a concentrated effort to produce
the most artistic mustache. The young
men will obey the order, it is said.
Probably every variety of mustache
was represented among the youthful
seekers after bushes lore. There are
little stubby ones. long dropping ones
and spare, thnly populated areas Of
mustache. Then there were optimistic
ones that pointed up, cynical ones that
stood out straight and pessimistic ones
that dropped. They were worn accord
ing to the fraternity to which the partic-
uar student belonged.
Recently the boys were forbidden to
smoke cigarettes, also to wear sweaters
in the class rooms.

but national also in its activities.

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached TO
the condition OF the grain crops In
Western Canada, especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested in lands
In that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
the growing Of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
ment officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year In
the provinces OF Manitoba Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that Of last year. Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for The getting ready oil
land this spring made considerable
portion OF the grain late in seeding
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in in good
shape, although from n week to ten
days later than last year. On the
eth of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally in Western
Canada were abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance OF generous harvest. Climatic
conditions In recent weeks have been
absolutely ideal Western correspon'
dents agree in predicting every indi'
cation Of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions Wheat should be
headed out In Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop Is looking we'll. although late
and rather short In straw"
This 10 followed by report July
5th Crop conditions continue In
same satisfactory condition as last
week Plenteous rains have fallen al
over prairie provinces. followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree SUFFICIENT
moisture for many weeks. while croI
is ten to fifteen days late. prospects
are extremely favorable and condi
tional upon reasonable weather fol
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore. the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
