BIG WINTER WHEAT CROP.
Illinois the Only State Below the
Average.

Reports which have been gathered
from many wheat States in the last
two or three weeks indicate a prom
Using outlook for the winter wheat
crop.
With the exception of Illinois near
ly every state in the middle west has
reported optimistically, the only fear
being that weather conditions will
not remain favorable, but that con-
tingency is not likely now that the
year has so far advanced.
Grain dealers, farmers and State
statisticians are all agreed that an
exceptional crop of winter wheat
may be predicted almost to certain
ty.
Omaha, Neb.-Winter wheat in
Nebraska is in absolutely perfect con-
dition, is the report from every part
of the State. The acreage is from 5
to 8 per cent. greater than normal,
and if crop conditions continue as
favorable as they have been thus far
the yield will be the largest in the
history of the state.
This is the report of grain dealers,
members of the Omaha Grain EX-
change, managers of large elevator
lines, railroad men, implement deal
ers, actual farmers and newspaper
correspondents from every section OF
the State. Nebraska is wetter than
for several years. Conditions are
ideal.
Indianapolis, Ind.-Unless the un-
expected happens in the way of de-
structive freeze Indiana may ex-
pect bumper crop of winter wheat
according to local expert.
Reports from all sections of the
State show that winter wheat is il
perfect condition and that the wealth
er conditions have been ideal for 6
good crop during the last few
months. There has been consider
able rain.

DON'T MAR THE BEAUTIES OF
NATURE

Big lettered signs that deface the
landscape are public nuisance. Men
should not be allowed to mar and de-
stroy the beauties of nature in order
to call attention to some articles they
have for sale. 1t is forbidden by law
in some places and bill at Harris
burg now proposes that it shall be
forbidden in Pennsylvania.
A State tax is proposed on all bill
board and advertising signs. The tax
applies solely to signs which have no
connection with the business con-
Quoted on the premises. A signifi-
cant feature of the proposed Act con-
sists in the prohibition of posting ad-
vertisements on public property,
trees or poles along the highways.
The bill generally follows the order
adopted during recent years in other
countries and in certain localities of
our own. Boston, Chicago and St.
Louis, though the provisions have by
no means been enforced to the strict
letter of the law.
The measure is responsive to the
widespread attention provoked by
the gross eXcesses into which this
form of advertising has been carried.
AS Judge Woodson, of Missouri, re-
marked anent the Supreme Court s
sustaining the st. Louis billboard or
dinance-"a advertising is a legitimate
and honorable business if honorably
and legitimately conducted, but
every other feature and incident
thereto have evil tendencies and
should for that reason be strictly re-
gulated and controlled"
Particularly is this judicial view
true concerning the Objectionable Ii
cense assumed by those who placard

They hunted at the mouth of Unuk for ten avs with the crew of the launch Corsair, and then struck inland, leaving part of their outfit at the International Boundary and proceeding some twenty-five miles further to the trapping grounds. The unus- ual life and food did not agree with Mcdee, and he began to give out, so the two decided to return to the boundary where there was good camp and give him chance to get a good rest and then come on out. The way out was terrible, the snow being fully twenty feet deep. and so soft and light, that Il man on snow shoes sank clear down to his shoulders. For If days the two men str1celed through the snow,

,Des Moines, Sept. 1O.-County Of

in the law passed by the last general
assembly. Instructions to that effect
are being sent today to the auditor Of
every county by "A. H. Dawson, secre
tary Of the state executive council. II
was deemed necessary because sc
many inquiries have been received as
to- whether the tax should be levied in
view Of the decision Of Judge Hunter
who declared the entire act unconsti.
tutional.
Mr.. Davidson points out that the de-
scision of Judge Hunter applies only
TO Van Buren, county where the suit
was brought against county officials.
The decision Of Judge Applegate, the
letter states, held that the levies were
valid although 1t takes exception to
the part which provides for the antici-
patton of taxes in advance. f
Status Of Extension, Case.
Upon the advise of Attorney General
Cosson the following explanation OF
the status of the capitol extension law
is included in the letter:
The attorney general is certain that
that part Of the opinion Of Judge Hun
ter will be overruled that, is in con-
flict with the opinion Of Judge Ap-
plegate; that is to say, he Is certain
that regardless OF the validity of the
last four sections of the act which
authorize the anticipation of the fund;
that the first eight sections Of the
act, which provide for the levy, the
purchase of ground. condemnation,
etc, are constitutional and valid
hence as l said before, each taxing
officer should proceed to make the
levy in the regular way at the regu-
lar time, and If by any possibility the
entire act should be, held unconstitu-
tional there could be no prejudice to
any one as the, decision Of the sup
preme court will be handed down be-
fore January 1, or before any taxes
shall become lien upon real estate.
