Neutrality-suspicious. to the poor
condition of winter wheat on Dec.
the Department of Agriculture's esti-
mate, based on condition figures of
production next year, is only 5S0,000.-
900 bushels, although the area sown
this fall, 41,263,000 acres, is the great
est ever planted in the United States.
The poor condition is due principal
ly to very dry fall, which caused the
growing crop to get a poor start and
to the Hessian fly; scattering reports
of which have been received from
various localities from Maryland to
Oklahoma
The bureau of crop estimates, in IN
terpreting the condition reports, is
sued this statement
THE condition of the winter wheat
crop on Dec. is estimated at SS.3 per
cent of a normal crop, which compares
with 97.2 per cent year ago. In the
past ten years, the condition on Dec.
l has averaged 903 per cent and the
outturn of the crops has averaged
about 14.4 bushels per acre on the
planted area.
In the same proportion the condi-
ton of SS.3 would forecast a yield OF
about 14.0S bushels, which, on the
estimated acreage planted, amounts
to s5SO,OOo, 900 bushels.
THE production in 1914 was esti-
mated at 75,623,000 bushels (by far
the largest amount ever produced in
one year, and in the preceding five
years an average annual production of
441,o00,000 bushels.
I'm forecasting this quantity of $780,.
100000 bushels, it should be consid-
cred as the amount of which the prob
ability is equal that the outturn will
be either above or below it. The crop
will be larger or smaller than this
amount, according as the changes in
conditions from now to harvest are
better or worse than average changes"
Rye was sown this fall on 2,S51 900
acres, an increase Of $4,000. acres over
the revised estimated area sown last
fall The condition of rye on Dec. 1
was 93.6 per cent Of a normal, against
e5.3 per cent last year, 93.5 in 1912,
and SO the ten-year average.

SLAVS MOVE ON CRAC0W
Emperor Francis Joseph Reported Dy-
ine as Cars Forces Renew Attack
on Stronghold in GaIicia.

London, Dec 24.-Russian troops to
the number of 100000 are moving to-
ward Cracow, the Galician stronghold,
from the north and east. An import
ant battle apparently is developing in
southwestern Poland, near Cracow.
While the Germans are not relaxing
their efforts along the line from Soch-
aczew to Skierniewice, in the move
ment toward Warsaw, the greatest ac-
tivity Wednesday was in the vicinity
of Miechow and Andrejew, Immediate
ly northeast of Cracow.
With the news of the Russian ad-
vance in Galicia comes the report that
Emperor Francis Joseph is near death
in Vienna and has received the last
rites of the church. The allies in the
west, the Germans in Poland and the
Russians in East Prussia continue
their offensive operations, but the ad-
Vances have been so slight as to be
almost imperceptible. In the long run,
however, the ground which is being
taken may prove vital and the va
rious armies are fighting with an in
tensity which has not been exceeded
since the war began.
In Poland the center of interest has
shifted slightly to the south. Finding
the direct road to Warsaw blocked by
Russian reinforcements, the Germans
made an attack from the southwest
and have reached Skierniewice, which
is some forty miles from the Polish
capital.
They have thus far failed to pierce
the Russian lines, but have forced
Grand Duke Nicholas to withdraw
some of his forces from before era.

their offensive against Russia, the

Washington, Dec. 24-Arrangements
for beginning the withdrawal of fed
eral troops from the Colorado strike
districts within the next ten days were
made at conference between Presi-
dent Wilson, Governor Ammons, Gov
ernor-elect Carlson and Senator Shat

Colorado officials discussed details
with Secretary Garrison.
Governor Ammons told the Presi-
dent that if the plan of withdrawing
the troops from one district at time
were carried out, he would be able to
control the situation with local Off
cials. He said he could use the mill
tia if necessary, but desired to avoid
further expense to the state. He de-
clared there was every prospect OF
peace if the local authorities were
given an opportunity to gain control OF
the situation gradually. He told the
President he would leave for Colorado
Thursday and was willing that the
first troops be withdrawn as soon as
he arrived

Montrose, Colo.-A new sensation
struck the town when Frank Platt, in
his answer to his wife's divorce suit,
In which she names Julia Lechmere, a
niece living with them, declared that
he had never married the woman su-
ing him for divorce. Mrs. Platt ad-
mitted it, saying Platt told her a cere-
mony was unnecessary after her first
husband deserted her. District Judge
Black ruled that a common-law mar
rage existed and allowed the suit to
continue, giving Mrs. Platt $50 a
month temporary alimony and attor-
neys' fees and court costs
Platt in his answer charges jeal-
ousy in respect to the girl for whom
he provided home. He says that he
does not possess the $4,000 estate he
is suppoed to have, but is worth only
$4,000.

Denver.-Directors of the National
Western Stock Show Association
voted to abandon the stock show and
all its auxiliary exhibitions, scheduled

WHEEL IT TO DENVER
Young Man Expects to Ride 600 Miles
in Five Days.

To wheel it to Denver is the ambi-
ton OF Jesse Young Of 1914 East
Sixth street, and the young bike en-
thusiast is planning to start the 900
mile trip some time this week.
Young is a native Of Denver and is
an employee of the Postal telegraph
company Of that city. About two
months ago he came to Topeka to
visit his brother, o. w. Young, and in
planning his trip home, decided that
he would ride through on a wheel in
stead of taking a train.
Il figure it will take about five DAYS
to make the trip" Young said in dis
cussing the matter. 81 expect to make
a certain town each day and to stop
at the best hotels and restaurants on
the way"
Young is "a years old. He has made
several long distance wheel trips be-
fore, but this is the longest one he has
yet tackled, and the fact that it is a
rather uncertain season of the year
Tor favorable weather makes it a more
hazardous undertaking than it would
be during the summer months.

How to Neutralize
Dangerous
Stomach Acids

Few people besides physicians realize
the Importance of keeping the food con-
tents of the stomach free from acid fer
mcntation. Healthy. normal digestion
cannot take place while the delicate lin
ing Of the stomach is being inflamed and
distended by acid and wind-the result of
fermenting food in the stomach. To Sc
cure perfect digestion, fermentation must
be stopped or prevented and the acid
neutralized. For this purpose, physicians
recommend getting a little bisurated
magnesia from the druggist and taking
a teaspoonful in a little hot or cold water
Immediately after eating. They recon-
mend bisurated magnesia because it is
pleasant to take, has no disagreeable at
ter-effects and instantly stops fermenta-
ton, neutralizes the acid and makes the
sour acid. bland, sweet and easily dl-
gested.
The regular use of bisurated magnesia-
be sure and get the bisurated, as other
kinds OF magnesia are Of little VALUES
an absolute guarantee Of healthy. normal
digestion. for it overcomes and prevents
that acid condition which alone II the
cause OF trouble.-Adv.

Whatever the influences of the high

says the New York Evening Post, it
is admitted that the average farmer
is thinking a great deal Of the future,
and is disposed to look for an in
creased profit later. The current idea
is that another increase, bringing the
figure for wheat to $1.25 or $3.50 a
bushel is due before the next crop
goes to market. That is responsible
for the slow movement OF the crop.
