BOUNTIFUL CROP YIELDS.

Mr.. B. w. Snow, one of the recog-
nized crop experts of this country, has
completed his estimate of the prob
able wheat yield and places it as 994,-
100000 bushels. He says that the
winter wheat crop will amount to
6S9, 100000 bushels, and the spring
wheat harvest will produce 305, ,000,-
900 bushels, and he thinks there is
more likelihood these estimates will
be somewhat exceeded rather than
reduced.
The government crop estimate for
August will not be published before
next week and considerable interest
will be taken in seeing how it com
pares with the estimate of Expert
Snow. 1t is generally conceded by
all crop authorities. however, that
the wheat yield this year will be
another record breaker, and that it
will come close to the billion mark.
if. in fact, it does not exceed it. Nor
is wheat the only crop that promises
to be bumper" one, for crops of
every kind are doing wonderfully well
and their abundant Yields will do
much to add to the general prosperity
Of the nation.

SETTLING ON EASY TERMS.
Script Company Offering Creditors 35
Cents OH the Dollar.

Cents OH the Dollar.
With the information that the
American Script company is defunct
with liabilities of approximately $751;
900 without available funds for liqui-
dation The Observer feels a degree of
satisfaction in discrediting the scheme
when it was first launched in Dallas.
The company has discontinued bus
mess, and those who were promised
"a mile of travel for a dollar in
trade will probably realize practi-
cally nothing from their investment.
The stockholders are making an eff
fort to liquidate claims against the
company on basis of 35 cents on the
dollar, but whether this includes the
script issued is not known. The local
redemption station has forwarded
hundreds of dollars worth of Script
to the company's headquarters in Cal
ifornia, and will use it's influence to
save something out of the wreck for
those patrons of local merchants who
had anticipated travelling without ac-
tual expense to themselves.
The Script scheme never looked
good to The Observer and although
it's stand in so asserting caused no in
considerable unfavorable comment
concerning it's attitude when the plan
was being introduced here, time has
disclosed the fact that its position was
correct and there is satisfaction in
that. The hackers are now endeavor-
ing to get out of their dilemma the
cheapest way possible. In some in
stances local creditors have accepted
the 35 per cent offer and effected a

PoPE'S PLEA UNAVAILING.

The popeS recent prayer for peace
has been unproductive of desired re-
suits, although in some quarters
hope is expressed that the effort was
not entirely wasted and may yet have
its influence in bringing the leaders
of the belligerent nations back to a
deeper sense of their responsibilities.
The pontifical appeal itself consists
of two parts, one that addresses it.

those responsible for the continuance
of the war. picturing with consum-
mate skill and deep emotion the an
guish of battlefields and the sorrows
of deserted homes; and the other,
which speaks to reason. and points
why not now weigh with serene con-
science athe rights and Just aspira-
tions of the peoples? Why not start
with good will, a direct or indirect
exchange of views with the object of
considering SO far as possible these
rights and aspirations, and thus put
to an end the terrible combat. as
has been the case previously under
similar circumstances?
Those upon whom depends the
question of war or peace have not
answered the pontiff's plea directly.
but they have made statements which.
referring to the same subject. may
well be construed as replies. In the

AIRsHIPs IN WAR.
IN Some Ways They Are More Effective
Than Aeroplanes.

Than Aeroplanes.
While the atrship is clumsier and
slower moving than the aeroplane, it
has its own special uses in war. In
Air Craft In the Great War;" by
Claude Grahame-White and Harry
Hooper, is this:
"There are three points in favor Of
the airship, and none should be over
looked. She can remain in the air
many hours If required; even, In an
emergency, for several days And In
this respect she has the advantage of
the aeroplane. She can hover, too,
above given spot, her machines
stopped and her car motionless. This
is of value in detailed observations,
and here again she has the advantage
of the aeroplane. which can not hover.
"A third merit of the airship. and
again a useful one. is that she can fly
safely at night. This provides her
with many uses in time of war. Aero
planes can fly at night, too, but only
at grave risk. If motor fails, and
the air mdu mas 10 ueSceuu, udThueSS
prevents him from choosing landing
ground. and he may crash into a wall
or hedge, or the side Of a house. or find
himself In the tree tops Of wood.
"Hovering at the rear of her own
lines, and fitted with a powerful wire
less plant. the airship can remain aloft
from dawn until dusk, her observers
watching constantly the enemy's battle
front, and signaling while the news
has value. any change they may notice
in the position of the troops. For de-
structive raids, particularly at night,
the airship has grim potentiality.
"The point to be borne in mind. the
fact that governs the use of an airship
in war, is that in clear sky during |
daylight. and away from the protection
of her own guns or planes. she is large,
slow flying and highly vulnerable. Her
hull cannot be armored. fragile though |
1t is; the weight would be prohibitive. |
So she may be crippled and sent to
earth by the accurate placing of sin.
