These very deeds of arson and assault in Eng

ago. The rabbe which hooted and insulted American
women was unable to discriminate between the vio-

Department of Agriculture statisticians have just

present year. placing it at 63ooooooo bushels, one

the present point to bountiful harvest of crops of
every variety and while it is early to estimate
with any degree of certainty, the country should be
prepared to transport its enormous wealth of autumn
