Wheat threshing is in progress
throughout the country, and so far as
has been learned, the yield is satisfac-
tory. The prospects for good crop
of wheat were never better than they

weather, since cutting time, has been
more or less unfavorable, the farmers
are hustling to get the crop out and on
the market.
In Philadelphia alone, one child was
burned to death and about 200 injured
as a result of the Fourth of July in
diligence in dangerous explosives. Pat

sacrifices in times of peace. Perhaps
not only Philadelphia, but other cities,
will profit by the awful lessons and
make different arrangements for eel
ebrating the next Fourth.
