BILLION-BUSHEL GRAIN CROP.
approximately 6O,OOO,OOO Acres De.
voted to the 1915 Wheat
Crop.

Contrast with the scenes of the
terrible European conflict and the
death harvest" which is being reap
ed abroad, the scenes of agricultural
activity that are now being enacted
throughout the Middle West and the
great grain growing sections of the
Northwest, and you have a pictur-
esque scene of relief American farm
ers are surely destined to feed the
worlds children during the months
to come,
One hundred and fifty thousand
men from every state of the Union
have invaded these Western sections
and are engaged in harvesting the
greatest cereal crop in the worlds
history. The precision with which the
precious grain crop is garnered from
our grain fields presents one of the
wonders of the world.
There are approximately 10000
600 acres devoted to the 1915 wheat
crop. This acreage will yield a har-
vest of between 95O,O0O,OOO and a
billion bushels, students of the agri-
cultural situation confidently pre-
dieting that the latter figure will be
reached by fall. The average wheat
crop from 1909 to 1913 was $685.
100000 bushels, while the 1914 crop
totaled the enormous sum of $751;
100000 bushels, which brings this
years crop 100000 bushels great

have YOU WEAK LUNGS?

DO colds settle on your chest or in your
bronchial tubes? Do coughs hang on, or
are you subject to throat troublesf
Such troubles should have immediate
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's Emulsion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows.
SCOTS Emulsion contains pure cod liver
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res
piratory tract and improves the quality OF
the blood; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
lists. You can get it at any drug store.

COURT REVERSES RULING
AS TO DIVORCE CASES
Judge Ford Holds Now That an Al
Iowancc Can BE Granted i'm Suits
for Separate Maintenance.

Judge George Ford reversed what
he stated TO be an erroneous ruling
Tuesday morning wheE he granted
Mary Piechoch support money pend
ing her litigation for a limited di-
vOrce. Last week the court ruled
that the law would not permit him
TO order attorneys fees or support
money TO be paid by the defendant
in the case Of a petition for separate
maintenance. When the case of
Mary Piechocki against Martin Pie
chocki was brought up the judge re-
versed his ruling and, after exam
ming affidavits, granted the petitioner
50 a week support money. The court
held that when conditions warrant il
he can properly grant an allowance
wherewith to prosecute petition for
separate maintenance.
IL is alleged in the PiechOcki case
that the wife is 20 years Old and the
husband "A. Theey have been living
on small farm on the TerTe COupee
prairie. Counsel for the petitioner
sought to secure an order for attOr-
ney's fees but the court held that this
could wait until all the evidence in
the case had been submitted.
