and with water, II was practically con-
sumed. There was some hay inside.
altho no animals had been kept there
for q long time. A carriage belong
ing to John Goodfellow was stored
there and burned. There were some
other articles there but OF no great
value. A curious circumstance was the
popping that took place as though
there were an infantry battle in prog
ress. The explanation was found when
the material left was cold enough for
examination. Some boxes of cartridges
had been stored in the barn and the
heat had exploded some Of them, while
others were found intact No plausible
reason for the fire has been advanced
unless it may have been from electric
wiring.
President Kelley, Of the Grinnell
Packing Company, seems quite optim-
istic regarding the coming sweet corn
crop and the prospects of the COM
pany. He says the company has con-
tracts out for $50 acres Of sweet corn
and he thinks the packing season will
open by Aug. Is. The company has
secured six carloads, half million of
cans, and has them stored all ready
for use and nearly all the expected
pack Of this season has already been
sold.

HEssIAN FLY IN WHEAT.
Immense Damages Inflicted Thru Wide
Area-No Helm For Present Crop

Washington, July 2.-The Hessian
fly is inf1icting immense damage on the
wheat crop in an area extending from
Northern Oklahoma northward thru
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and South
ern Iowa and eastward including prin-
cipally Illinois. Indiana, Ohio and
Pennsylvania. In circular issued to-
day by the department of agriculture
the prediction is made that the fly will
cause a loss of millions of bushels.
Officials charge the fly with RESPONSE
hilitv for decreased conditions, reported
from those states.
The department states in the circu-
lar that nothing can be done now to
lessen the damage to the present crop,
but warns farmers to SOW no wheat in
August, in order to save next years
crop from being attacked.

DEFICIT REACHES $4,000, 900.
Compares With Surplus of S34. 900. 600
on June 80 of Previous Period

Washington. July THE second
business year of the present admins
tration, which closed yesterday, showed
a deficit Of s35,S64.3S1. compared with
a surplus for the year ending June 80,
1914 of s34 41S,677. 1t is apparent that
receipts were much smaller, an enor
nous reduction in customs revenues
resulting from the war while disburse-
.nenr We're much greater.
Notwithstanding the deficit on the
years business. the treasury now has
an actual net balance of SS2025, 716.
With such a balance on hand, and ev
cry prospect that il will be increased
possibly by s10,000900 in the next ten
days, it IS evident that there viii be
no issue of Panama canal or other gov
eminent bonds TO replenish the Golfers
for many months to come, if at all.
Customs receipts for the fiscal year
amounted TO s209, 26S, 107, about sS2,-
| 100000 below the amount received from
this source in 1914 The income tax
up to the close of business last night
produced S79,S2S,675. This is more than
$500. 900 above that total received last
year and there remain ten days of
grace in which it may lawfully be paid.
Internal revenue receipts, $685., S2S, 81,
were only about s27 100000 in excess of
last years.
The postoffice department, usually
self sustaining, ran behind and re-
ceived advances from the treasury
amounting to more than s6,s00,000. On
the other hand, the treasury has paid
out on account Of the Panama canal
during the year more than s29,000,000,
which is REIN bursablc, though not like
~ to be reimbursed unless through a
lbond issue for many years to come
Full returns of yesterdays treasury
receipts show that s44,715,154 piled into
the governments cash drawers on the
last day of the old fiscal year
Income tax receipts yesterday alone
were s36,303.525

TIME FOR NEW STATE MAP

Two new counties have lately been
formed in Florida. Broward county
comprises second slice cut from
Dade, and piece from Palm Beach,
somewhere about 100 square miles
altogether, not counting the 3-mile
strip of ocean along its rs mileh of
coast. One railrod and two canals
traverse it and part of the north
boundary line lies in the middle of
a third canal. Fort Lauderdale is
its capital. The county is not large
in area, but judging from the way
they go ahead there, it will soon be-
come both populous and rich
Okaloosa-or is it Okloosa?-is a

ties, the north, east and west bound
aries being straight lines; the south
line is the Gulf of Mexico. 1t con-

ing the 3-mile strip along the shore
Okaloosa has about 80 miles of
coast line, inland passage for vessels
and good sites for harbors. 1t is
well drained by Yellow river and its
tributaries as we'll as many oth.r
watercourses, and has three rail-
roads. Milligan is it's county site. If

Jane and THE net
BY MOLLY MINISTER.


1t was not until John Guthrie en-
tered her life that James heart was
seriously affected. All unconsciously,
while Turing the big Scotchman into
her net. Jane tripped and fell head
long into it herself The sensation
was at first startling and finally most
alarming. for the Scotchman seemed
perfectly Oblivious to the fact that
Jane was his for the asking.
Old-fashioned Polly sitting back
completely enveloped in the love Of
Willard Wright watched the proceed
ings with infinite enjoyment She and
Jane had never broken the silence
that spanned an interval Of three
months, yet Polly was perfectly aware
Of all that transpired In the life Of
her erstwhile intimate friend.
The two girls were often In the
same ballroom attending the same
dances. yet neither seemed SO much
as to know that the other was there
and never by word or look conveyed
the secret knowledge that each bore
a gnawing pain-the pain Of severed
friendship.
Jane tried desperately to conceal
her interest in John Guthrie, but her
eyes followed his every movement.
He fiirted lazily and mildly with most
of the girls, but most of all he how
cred over the old-fashioned, soft-eyed
Polly.
And Polly, looking swiftly across
at Jane, smiled in such way as to
make James blood stand still. Polly
was going to break her lifelong habit
of demure, maidenly modesty and fiirt
openly and shamelessly with the
Scotchman.
James lips curlcd in scorn in spite
of the fear and pain that was grip
ping her. She knew that Polly with
her absurdly trusting eyes of blue anc
her gentle. persuasive manner, to-
gether with the touch of alluring CO
quetry she was now employing, would
break the heart of any man.
However, Jane had sufficient Of
pride and self-control to carry on hel
own fiirtations with a very apparent
supply Of blindness to POlly's ma
neuver. Her smiles were plentiful
and no one in the ballroom suspected
that her heart was well-nigh break
ing. She not only regretted the fac
that Guthrie found interest in othe
women, but more than that she la
mented the fallen idol that Polly rep
resented.
1T is all right for me TOTO firt.
Jane told herself. But Polly Is dif
ferent. Polly is far too precious I
type nowadays to lose sight of. Sh'
simply must not be allowed to smea
her beauty with such modern char
acteristics." Jane smiled wistfully q
her own shortcomings, and sent
swift glance Of something akin t
love into Polly,s eyes.
