river counties are generally in
good condition, as are a few of
the river counties COndi-
tons in Southeast Missouri
are the worst ever known there,
according to the reports of many
correspondents. Only the great
natural resources Of this section
and the possibility Of extensive
crop INVESTIGATION prevents
more serious losses. With but
one exception, all correspondents
in southeast Missouri report
need of rain. For the state as
a whole, 50 per cent make SINH
lar reports. In brief, it may be
said, that while a few counties
received good rains during July,
the territory of deficient mois-
ture has enlarged and conditions
gradually grown worse. Some
wheat and rye will be sown for
fall pasture, but in this there is
need of precautions against the
spread Of Hessian fly. Kafir
and other catch crops may help
some. Mach straw is being
baled. Fortunately, there is
practically no complaint of in
sects-
CORN-Conditions of corn
for the state is 68, as compared
with 81, one month ago. The
heaviest loss has been in the
southeast section, where cOndi-
TONS fall from 6S to 30. Butler,
Carter, Dent, Iron and Oregon
counties report corn condition
at less than %, while a dozen
other counties are but little bet
ter. In contrast with this, is
northwest Missouri where corn
condition is 81, which, however,
is a loss of II points for the
month. In this section, Andrew
AtchisOn, Holt, Platte and Jack
son average 90 or better, while
several other counties are al
most as good. Corn condition in
the northeast section is 70, a
loss Of y points; central is Y,
a loss Of 7 points; southwest is
81, a gain of 2 points. Corn con
ditiOnS in Barry, Cass, Johnson,
Mcdonald, st. Clair, Stone and
Vernon averages 80 or more
with other counties but little
less. In some parts of the
state much corn will go in shock
or silo before the end of the
month. A few farmers are now
ed;ng green corn.
WHEAT-It is estimated that
5 Der cent of the wheat has
)een threshed, the average yield
org about II bushels. One
|ycld of 4712 bushels and an
2the r of 30 is reported, while
here are numerous reports of
'"t Ger than 40 bushel yields.
10 ever. in many heretofore
leading wheat counties the
average yield is a disappoint-
ment. More wheat than usual
has been stacked, and much is
)e ng led.
OATS-Only about 60 per
ut Of the DAT crop was cut with
1inder. Preliminary estimate of
ED is p bushels per acre. In
buchanan, Cass, Henry and a
few other counties the yield
vas better than 80 bushels. One
o rrespondent reports a yield
, 1872 bushels per acre on a
small tract.
OTHER CROPS - Hay yields
are reported as follows: Tim
oXthy O.6 timothy and clover
mixed, O,75; prairie, 0.8; mixed,
O-S5 tons. The hay acreage is
greatly reduced and the total
|ield viii show a decided
shortage. Pastures are very
poor, especially where worked
on by army worms early in the
) season. For the state, pasture

THE WAR

According TO the best reports OBJ
tanned, operations for the last week
have been in favor of the allies.
Monday, the German invasion Of
France reached high tide, and the
battle that. was fought that day
along line from Chateau-Thierry
to Verdun, may have been the Get
tysburg of the war
Saturday, the Germans were al
most in sight OF Paris. Then their
great army, which has swung around
the left of the French frontier and
cut it's way thru Belgium and nor
them France, suddenly turned TO the
east. No explanation of this move
metn has been made, but it is be-
heyed that the invading force was
running short of ammunition, and
was compelled to form a junction
with the armies, which coming from
the Rhine, were trying to force their
way thru the frontier Notifications.
Monday and Tuesday, the Ger
mans, French and British battled
tremendously along line that had
Chalons for its center. 1t seems that
the allies had every advantage OF
numbers and position, and were COM
paratively fresh. The Germans,
worn out by their unparalleled eff
forts Of the last three weeks, gave
way, and for the last two days have
been in retreat. Three million men
were in this battle, the greatest in
the worlds history.
So the allies say. No reports
have come from the Germans, except
their claim to have captured the
frontier fortress of Maubeuge with
40, 600 prisoners. This the French
deny.
The French also claim to have
repuIsed the Germans from Nancy,
and to be again moving on Alsace.
On the east, the Russians claim
to have won victory after victory, to
have overwhelmed the Austrians in
GaHcia, to have driven the Germans
back in Posen, and now to have in

vaded SiIesia and to be threatening
Berlin, which, according to their re-
ports is only 200 miles from their
outposts.
No denial OF these claims has
come out of Germany and Austria,
and for the past few days they have
made no claims Of their own.
In the south, the Servians and
Montenegrins continue, they say, to
defeat the Austrians.
In the far east, the Japanese con-
tinue to besiege Using Tao. the lead
ing fortress and city of the German
possession of Kiao Chau. They are
confident of success and taking their
time.
Contrary to expectations, NO more
nations have gone into the war.
Turkey. probably admonished by the
German and Austrian reverses, has
made no move; consequently, Italy,
Greco, Bulgaria and Roumania are
yet neutral.
There have been no operations of
note reported from the sea forces of
any of the powers.
1t was reported Thursday that the
leading fnanciers of Europe would
bring pressure to stop the war. 1t is
understood that the United States
will offer mediation If it thinks there
is any chance of its being accepted
Dispatches from Rome and Petro-
grad claim that Aus ria is ready to
make peace, even if syne has to desert
Germany. 1t is believed that Ger
many would accept an offer of peace
on the terms that no territorial hines
should be changed nor indemnity
asked.
1t is not believed. however that
the allies will make peace without
taking territory from both Austria
and Germany, so it is likely that the
war will go on.
1t is the opinion or military ex-
perts that the Germans will rally
agin, perhaps today. and certainly in
a few days, and make another SUI
preme effort to crush the Anglo
French armies in Northern France.

tremendously than their friends or

Everybody who uses bifocal glasses

Finally the notion came to him that

thereupon had the lenses cut I'm half
and one-half OF each lens placed In the

was that single pair OF glasses was
