Ismes Bey hospital loses only from
 to per cent of cases in which oper-
 ation has been necessary. The total
 loss of all cases in from IT to IS per
 cent many of the severely wounded
 dying shortly before or during the
 operation.
 Near the Ismes hospital is a camp
 for the lightly wounded. It consists of
 a number of large tents and booths in
 which the men sleep. The day is passed
 in the shade of the trees. Wounds arc
 examined and dressed at stated inter-
 vals of the day. The stamina of the
 Turkish soldier makes any other care
 superfluous.
 Whether a man is able to walk out
 of the firing line or trench or must
 be carried out on stretcher. estab- lished in the Ottoman army his status
 as rightly" or severely" wounded. Lightly wounded are marked with a large white pasteboard ticket with one red bar running down the center. Se- yerely wounded have a similar ticket with two red bars With the exception of foot wounds tho lightly wounded are required to walk to the field hos pital. To the base hospital they are carried In ordinary escort wagons. Ser vere1y wounded are carried to the field hospitals in an ambulance, known as the "brussa' ambulance, which has all
 most completely displaced the Amer ioan ambuIances formerly used in the Turkish military service Transfer 60 the base hospital is also made in this
 manner The attention given the se- verely wounded at the Held stations covers immediate needs only.
 The Turkish soldier is not very sus- ceptible to pain. He gives little trouble when wounded and his almost extra ordinary frugality makes him a pa tient who is easily cared for. Medical men are of the opinion that the total abstinence of most Turkish soldiers re- duces the possibility of wound infec- tions. lessens the shock susceptibility and aids in the recovery of the patient. Ultimately all severely wounded are br ought tc Constantinople, where about a score of well appointed hospitals are being maintained. Those visited by the Associated Press correspondent ielt little to be desired. These hospitals have every modern accessory oi sur gerv. such as X-ray department, plants for the sterilization of dressing materials and labor atories. Patients Tn whom the wound has caused tempor- ary paralyzation O. motor nerves ana muscles are sent to one of the many | mineral baths in Turkey and recently an institution for electro-therapeutic 1 treatment has been opened TOT the pen | eft of inva1ided soldiers.

Washington, August 30.-The condition of the growing cotton crop of the United States on August 25 was 69.a per cent of normal, the United States department of agriculture's crop reporting board announced at noon today in it's fourth condition report of the season. That con dition compares with 753 per cent on July 25 this year. IS per cent on August p last year. 6s.2 per cent in 1913 and lS2 per cent, the average condition on August 25 during the last 10 years.
 Drouth followed by excessive rains in the cotton belt during August caused deterioration slightly more than the August average to the growing cotton crop. The department of agriculture today announced the condition as 6s.2 per cent of normal. That is 6.1 per cent below the July condition.
 Unofficial calculations based on gov ernment averages for yield, condition and acreage. place the crop at 11,s17, zS5, equivalent to 5oo-pound bales, against 16134, 930 bales last year.
 Although no official statement ex- planatory of the cotton figures was forthcoming from the department of agriculture, Leon M. Estabrook, chief of the bureau of crop estimates, an- nounced unofficially today that the re- port indicated a yield this season of approximately 11,SOo,0o0 bales of cot ton, as compared with an actual pro- duction of 16,135, 930 bales last season Trifle More Decline
 This condition of 692 estimated to- day, as compared with 75.3 on July 20, a month ago." MT. Estabrook ex- plained lis trife more of a decline than is normal. If the figures had been the same in todays estimate as on July %, there would be an actual in crease. There is always a decline be- tween the July and August estimates. The figures today indicate a yield of approximately 11,S000 600 bales, which Is month. The actual out-turn for the 1914 season as shown by the census figures was 16,13595o.
 There is estimated decrease in acreage of 15 per cent due to the col lapse of the market in the abnormal conditions respecting cotton during the past year. The drop in condition per centage from 75 per cent in July to 69 per cent In August is due to the un- favorable weather during the past month, and the reduction of about 40 per cent in the amount of fertilizer used in the cotton fields

 EDNA MAYO SETS
 NEW STANDARD
 Miss Edna Mayo, pretty leading woman with Essanay, has set a new standard in expression work before the camera. She makes no effort whatever to register the many variety of emotions by facial con- tortions, so frequently seen.
 "I let my heart and not my face express my emotion she said. q pay no at tention to my face whatever. but simply lose myself in my part. In this way the expression is natural and not overdone as when you strive to put the expression into your face"
 Ruth Stonehouse spent two days at Ft. Dodge. Ia... as the. guest of the MaElc theatre management. She appeared on the stage both at the afternoon and evening performances, where the Essanay drama, "The Wood Nymph," in which Miss Stonehouse stars was displayed She talked to the audience on her work in the motion pictures. At special matinee for children she gave a short talk and distributed photographs of herself. Miss Stonehouse also spent day at South Bend Ind, as ~guest of the manage ment of the Auditorium theatre
 Margaret Joslin shows that she under stands the manly art of self-defense in the Essanay photoplay, "Sophie's Fight ing Spirit" as well as physical prowess She hurls two men clear through closed door, breaking it from its hinges. Then in a fistic battle she ducks and counter uppercuts and swings straight from the shoulder in a way that no one could hope to initiate who had not practiced the art

RIVALRY IN DISTRICTS

In all the city districts, as well in
 the outside districts, there is plenty of that sort of rivalry in the voting that
 will cut big figure in the campaign
 before it is over on September 25. Local
 pride is going to have a good deal to
 do with favorite candidates. As yet the |favorite daughters in the campaign have
 not come so conspicuously to the front
 as to determine positively who will be in the lineup for the race down the home stretch, and some of those whc do not as yet figure at the top of their respective districts will, undoubtedly. come out strongly during the next few days.
 There are indications, too, that the work being done by candidates and their friends will take on broader scope presently The movie" campign is be- coming an element in the social life of some of the towns and various partes
