Nature Is Helping to Bring Back Good
Times.

General prosperity in this country is still meas
ured largely by the bountfulness of the crops
The farmer is a basic producer and basic con-
sumer When good times come to him they are
likely to be shared by the workers in other indus
tries.
The crop estimates foRl9l4 point to a big re
turn TO the farmer The yield per acre and the
total yield of nearly all the crops are greater
than they were in 1913 and, contrary to the
common rule, prices are higher in spite Of the
more abundant supply This betterment does
not. Of course, apply TO cotton. The cotton crop
is 500 100000 pounds bigger than it was a year
ago. but the price, owing to the restriction of
foreign markets, has fallen from 10 cents a pound
to 6.3 cents.
The cotton growers are the greatest sufferers
in this country from the European war But
fortunately their product will keep and may be
sold ultimately at a much higher price than is
now obtainable. The corn crcp has increased
259,O0OOOC bushels, with practically no change
in price. The wheat crop has increased 22S,-
100000 bushels, with an increase in price of 1872
cents; the oats crop has increased 1000 900 bush
els, with an increase of AS cents in price, and
the rye crop has increased 1,2S300O bushels. with
an increase in price of Ia cents
There is strong evidence Of swing toward
good times in these figures. The administration
did not act as Providences advance agent in
these recoveries could upsetting legislation

GEORGE HARLOW BROKE INTO
THE ARMoRY BUILDING THIS :

HE is WITHOUT a HOME AND
SAYS HE HAS NO PLACE TO

OFFICERS WILL MAKE A THOR

CASE. ~

81 broke into room in the Armory
building this morning because wanted
to be sent to the Reform School," were
the words Of George Harlow, aged II,
as he walked into the police station this
morning and told the police what he
had Just done. "This memorandum
book is the only thing that took from
the building, as only wanted to steal
enough so they will send me away" he
continued as he narrated the story of
his life which led up to the climax OF
today.
When questioned by West Virgin
ian reporter, Harlow, who is almost
grown, said that he was raised at En-.
terprise, w. Va, but for some time he
had been roaming about the country in
an effort to find employment
He came to the city last night from
Dakota Mines. When asked by the re-
porter why he wanted to go the reform
school, the lad answered, Because
have no other place to go and no place
| can call home" He stated that both
his father and mother were dead.
The police officials hardly know
what to do with such an extraordinary
affair, SO the lad was taken to Justice
Fleming's office. Here the county Of
ficials were just as puzzled as the po-
lice, for not in their recollection had
such as TRANCE case come under their
observation. n.
From the story, it seems as If the boy
went to the armory at an early hour
this morning and finding the front door
open walked inside. Here he found
some tools and proceeded to open the
door of one of the private rooms by
breaking the lock. After he had ac-
complished his purpose he entered and
took from desk, which he found open,
the memorandum book Of Captain Nep-
tune, of the National Guard.
No decision was made concerning the
hoy by the county officials. He was
released from custody, but is under the
surveillance Of the officers, who will
make thorough investigation Of the
matter.
