P. 0. CENSORSHIP.
X. c Postmaster VIII Try to Stop
Candestine Correspondence.

Kansas City, Sept. 10.-Receipt of
clandestine love letters by young girls
through assumed names presented at
the general delivery window of the
postoffice in Kansas City, Kan, is to
be stopped, according to announce
ment by Postmaster w. H. Childs of
that office today.
Arriving at the office today Mr..
Childs found a long line of high
school girls waiting at the window.
After assuring himself that many of
them were receiving letters under as
sumed names he called them all into
his office and said:
ANY letter girl cannot receive
at home is questionable. Clandestine
correspondence leads to joy rides and
the like. Girls keep in this way, in
communication with young men they
would not be permitted to see at their
homes. We are going to investigate
every letter of this type we receive.
If any married women receive a letter
under an assumed name at this office
we will find out about it. This post
office will not be an agent for vice of
any kind
The extensive business of carrying
legitimate love letters will be con-
tinued as usual, Mr. Childs said.

CORN CROP IS SHORT.
Wheat Yield Is Greatest I'm History of
the Country. - -.

Washington, Sept. 10.-An enormous
loss in the prospective production of
corn and indications of the biggest
wheat crop ever produced are the fea-
lures of the governments September
crop report
Hot weat ther and drouth in num-
ber of the principal corn growing states
during the month ending Sept. caused
a deterioration of corn which experts
calculate has resulted in the loss of
321 000. 600 bushels, reducing the corn
crop estimates to 2.351 ,0O0, 900 bushels.
This destructive crop weather caused
a loss of about 300 000. 900 bushels dur
ing July and the August loss brought
the total up to 621 900, 900 bushels since
the first estimates of corn crop pros
poets were made by the government.
Texas alone of the six greatest corn
growing states held her own during
August. Nebraska was hardest hit,
the deterioration there during the
month amounting to 80 per cent, bring
ing the condition of the crop to 81 per
cent of a normal. The loss in Missouri
was 20 per cent, the crop being Al per
cent of a normal. Kansas reported
condition the lowest ever recorded
and a loss of 20 per cent during the
month. Illinois. with the greatest area
of any stated planted to corn, reported.
a condition of 81 per cent, a loss of 10
per cent; Iowa reported rs per cent, a
loss of per cent; Oklahoma 80 per
cent, a loss of 5 per cent
Never before in the history of the
country has there been such a bounti-
full wheat harvest as has been gath
cred this year. This was due princi-
pally to the bumper crop of winter
wheat. The government estimate of
the spring wheat crop shows increased
prospects for that crop, making the to-
tai production of 243,000. 900 bushels, or
an increase of 4.3 per cent over the
August estimate. The increase brought
the estimate of total wheat crop of the
country to 754. 900 bushels, or 6,00O,-
900 bushels more than the great record
crop of 1901.

steering committee, announced that
there would be no delay in taking up
the currency bill and that the commit

question of how soon the currency bill
can be reported from the committee.
Until there can be report from the
