First News of Corn.

With the first official report on corn
coming to-day, students Of crop re-
ports have been minded to warn the
optimistic that there are a good many
weeks Of wind and weather ahead
before the crop is gathered into the
barns Last years experience is fresh
n mind TO serve for an example. On
July !. 1918, condition and acreage
foreshadowed a crop Of nearly three
billion bushels 2,971 ,377,200. 20 be
exact. But by August over 225,000.-
600 bushels had passed into the ire
claimsble, and in August itself about
800. 100000 more had gone the same
road. The final crop was 2.446. 1885, 600
bushels, against 3,l25.000, 900 bushels
IN l912-the banner year. If 1912 is
expected in the comparison, last years
corn crop was from eighty-fve 70 one
hundred million bushels below the
normal. But it was not that fact so
much as the dsshing of high hopes
that had been built on the July esti-
mates which proved such depressing
influence on the financial community.

Galveston-Houston Electric.

The Galveston Houston Electric Com
pany, which owns all the stock OF the
Galveston Electric Company and Hous-
ton Electric Company, shows large
gains both in gross and net earnings
for the year ended May 81. Gross rev.
enue increased 1851 ,275 to s2,442,2 74, a
gain Of nearly II per cent, while net
revenue was 81 .065, 100, an increase OF
over Is per cent. Surplus over charges
amounted TO S632,605. nearly % per
cent greater than in the previous year
This company also owns the entire cap
ital stock Of the Galveston Houston
Electric Railway Company, which OPP
crates an interurban electric railway
between the cities OF Galveston and
Houston. With the continued growth
of these cities and the development OF
interurban territory, earnings shouid
steadily increase.

Tire Compensation.

The weather in 1913 that proved so
destructive TO corn mad an exactly op-
posite effect on wheat. wherefore some
theories OF agriculture were con-
structed in Wall Street which are
going TO have hard shedding in the
course OF time. On July l OF that
year spring wheat promised a crop Of
2ls.000, 600 bushels. BY August l the
estimate had 10 be raised 20 1913 ,000,-
600. The final harvest was of 39,sl9,-
goo bushels, a gam Of 81 SIS 600. from
the early July expectation. Winter
wheat, promising 4S3. 10000 bushels
IN July. rose to 511.OO0OOO by August
/, when most OF the harvesting had
been done, but the final figures were
better still-523 sol 900 bushels, a gain
from July Of 40,56l 900. All OF
which shows that the things of July
are not always the things of October.

French Bond subscriptions.

All through France are scattered
agencies where subscriptions can be
made TO government loans, so that it
was impossible TO know yesterday with
any defniteness how much the $780,
600 900 had been over-subscribed. The
REPORTS that came from Paris spoke Of
the issue being covered thirty or forty
times, but estimates like these. for the
reason given, had 10 be taken with
reservation, just like election returns
in this country half an hour after the
polls have closed. That there was a
very large over-subscription is GER

new bonds were quoted at q premium

PINKLETS
To Clear the Complexion.

One result of constipation is to dis.
figure the complexion with pimples and
blotches. This is because poisons which
should have been expelled from the body
are retained. Cosmetics and ointments
will not avail to clear such complexion.
The poisons which cause the disigura-
ton must be removed as nature intended.
To do this laxative that will gently
assist nature, but which will cause no re-
acting constipation to aggravate the
trouble, is needed.
Pinklets, the dainty new laxative,
quickly clear away all offending matter
without the least gripping or discomfort.
So simple is their composition that they
can be taken with any other medicine
that is not in itself a laxative. In every
household such a simple, safe medicine
is needed. Pinklets are tiny, sugar.
coated granules, easy to take. Your own
druggist can supply you. Sold In 70 cent
bottles only.
Pinklets are corrective for badbreath,
will clear the complexion, and are recon-
mended for torpidliver, biliousness, head
aches, constipation and whenever gentle
laxative is required. Write to the DR..
Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. Y, for Pinklet book. It is free.

THE POSTAL SAVINGS SYSTEM.

The exposition by Carter B. Keene,
director of the Postal Savings System,
of the work and results of the only bank
ing institution owned and operated by
Uncle Sam, the savings system Of the
Postoffice Department, voiced at the an
nual banquet of the Bankers Association
of the District Of Columbia, made deep
er impression upon the bankers of Wash
ington, says the Daily Times of that city,
than did the discussions of the new cur
rency law, the Presidents trust message
or the attacks on the New York Stock
Exchange. This is the opinion of many.
The statement by Mr.. Keene that there
are some $40, 000, 600 of deposits IN the
system, money that the banks could not
have brought out; that all but 5 per cent
of this amount is now circulating III the
channels of trade and that $500, 600 of it is
on deposit in the banks of Washington,
was a surprise to many and won the ap-
prevail of all for the system.
There are 375, 900 depositors in the
Postoffice Bank, explained Mr.. Keene,
and these despositors are foreigners and
others whose money had been boarded
away in boot legs, stockings and mat
tresses. These despositors are people
who have natural fear of banks and
who yet have an absolute confidence in
the Government.
''This is newly discovered money!" said
Mr.. Keene, money beyond the reach of
the banks. The Postal Savings System
has brought it out from hidden corners
and put it into the channels of trade.
There is 5000, 900 of this money distribut-
ed among the banks of Washington which
they could not have gotten otherwise.
1.-THE Postal Savings System helps
everyone and hurts no one and is Gov
ernmeptal experiment in business that
does in no way detract from private en-
terprise."
Mr.. Keene explained that more money
is turned away from the postal banks
than is taken in in deposits for the rea-
son that the amount of deposits is limit
ed by law. He advocated legislation to do
away with this restriction and to in
crease the maximum Of deposits that
may be received. In support of this con-
tention Mr.. Keene said that the foreigner
who has saved an amount of money great
err than the maximum he may deposit at
any one time cannot understand why the
Government will take and protect part
of bis savings and refuse to touch the
whole. There should be no need to try
to make him understand, either, he said.

bushels of that wheat, grind it in Ameri-
can mills (which have the capacity to
grind much more than our own CROP run
by American laborers, furnishing mil
lions of barrels of -four to be packed in
barrels made by American coopers,
transported to tidewater on American
railroads to be shipped to foreign ma
lions in American ships and leaving the
profits in American hands, instead of
having the work done by our conpetl-
tors, as it now is.
Some shortsighted ones may say: but
this will compete with American wheat
and reduce the price!" What ridicu-
lous idea to suppose that our millers
would sell this in competition with their
own product when they can obtain
larger price abroad. If our millers can
buy up the Canadian surplus wheat and
grind it into flour in our own mills they
can dictate the price of flour abroad in
stead of having to compete as they now
do with Canada, as they would then have
it all in their own hands. The sooner we
get this trade coming our way the better,
for Canada will soon erect her own flour
mills and grind her own wheat and then
we will lose the trade forever.
