ELIMINATION of Dead Body.-An al
illustrators final report denied the
right of the children of a divorced wife
of decedent to inherit, and asserted
the right of the heirs OF a second wife
to the estate. An affidavit was filed
by a daughter of the second wife that
the children of the divorced wife were
not decedent's children, which was
controverted by another affidavit, and
ether affidavits stated that decedent in
his infancy had been castrated and
was wholly impotent. Affidavits OF
two physicians stated that an exanin-
alton of the body of decedent ought
to disclose with reasonable certain
ty" whether he had been castrated.
The supreme court of Washington in
State VS.. Clifford, 139 Pacific Report
er, ESQ. held that there was a sufficient
showing TO give the superior court jur-
isdiction to order the elimination of
decedent's body to determine the issue
raised.

Smallest Canadian Crop In Years.

Chicago. Aug. 13.-Our Canadian re-
ports indicate a wheat crop of 1885,
100000 with an export surplus around
100000. This will mean the small
est crop since 1908 when Canada rails
ed IL, 000,0 900. Her crops of the past
three years have averaged POS, 900, 900.
In 1910 she raised 100000. In
1909 $4,000, 900.
During good wheat years Canada
raises II to 90 bushels per acre. For
the year ending March 81, 1914, she
exported 10000 900 wheat and for the
1913 period 112,OO0,OOO wheat Her
partial failure reduces the North
American crop surplus to SO5,000,O00
versus 27OIO0O,000 in 1913.
The world wheat situation outside
the penned up position of our exports
is not bearish. Europe will have to
import huge amounts from the United
States. Canada alone can probably
offer Britain a meager 35 per cent of
her annual needs.
guess of 80 days might cover the
duration of this war. The clock is ev-
erything in modern war. Armies are
ready to fight instantly. Twenty years
of preparation means fast action in
the field.
Corn and oats influences are friend
" to the buying side. The wheat mar
ket continues to be affected by partial
stoppage of exports. Wheat, however,
holds exceedingly well considering the
presence of strong bear theories and
is liable at any time to score a good
rally. The country appears to believe
that the excellent rains of the past
three days have mainly arrived too
late to secure a liberal corn crop.
We believe that the coarse grains
will continue to rally. We are also
confident that some way will be found
out of this wheat export difficulty.
AS in wheat the war fear has dou-
bled the swings in provisions. Lard
bulges may continue to crumble, but
ribs and pork should resist selling
pressure and we favor timely pur-
Chases.
Cash corn prices at so to S5c have
probably reached an ossified level.
Certainly bullish imagination pals.
This should not prevent lively atten-
ton to the new crop months. EXer-
else patience after upturns.

Wheat

On breezy western prairie, on
fertile northern plain, the wheat
is reaped. and nary a farmer
should complain. We have kind
natures bounty. for which we
long did yearn. and every bloom
ing county has stacks OF wheat
to burn. There's wheat i'll car
and wagon, there's wheat in
barn and shed; and every one is
braggin-if not, he should be
dead. There's wheat i'll bins and
barrels, there's wheat in stacks,
aield; is there a gent who quar-
rels with such a noble yield? The
farmers joyous slogans should
perforate the air, for wheat is in
his brogans. and wheat is in his
hair: and wheat is all around him
each sackful means a scad; and
yet. alas. confound him. the hus-
bandman seems sad, The
weather isn't proper for castor
BEANS he walls, "and | shall be a
pauper if autumn rhubarb fails
] lost my finest rooster a day or

The talk of the brotherhood of man
is all nonsense. The relation that should
be brought out Is that We are all sons
