Italy May Soon
Enter Great Conflict
Raging In Europe

Paris, April Italy and Serbia
are about to conclude an agreement,
telegrapted the correspondent Of Ex'
celsior at Rome on the following
basis:
Italy will not oppose Serbia's oc-
cupation Of territory giving her an
outlet to the Adriatic on condition
that this territory be not fortified.
The question of Trieste and Istria
has not been dismissed, the allies
having recognized the Italian char
a.ter Of these localities. The pres.
ent visit of Tittoni, the Italian am
bassador in Paris, to Rome is in con-
nection with these negotiations.
IF this Italo Serbian agreement Is
signed this week as is expected the
correspondent of the Excelsior says,
the entry of Italy into the European
conflict may be considered immi.

The Herring.

A peculiar feature in the herring
trade is that an exceptionally large
catch during one season has no effect
whatever upon the next years supply;
also, large as is mans consumption OF
behring's, naturalists say the number
killed by fishermen Is quite insignia
cant as compared with the quantity
destroyed every year by sharks. por'
poises, cod, dogflsh. ling and other fish
each of which must have its daily
meal Of from one to two score her
rings, to say nothing Of the sea birds
which practically live on surface feed
ing fishes. Herrings are not at all
modern article of diet. A vast com
merce In them was carried on In north
ern Europe all through the dark ant
middle ages. The behring's chief foot
consists of minute organisms, which i
strains from the water by its gills, bu
1t also eats worms and at certain sea

a Itch Gate.

A Itch gate is n shed, generally OF
oak, over the entrance of a church
yard, beneath which the bearers
paused when bringing body for inter
ment. Here the clergyman met the
body and read the Introductory part
Of the burial service as he preceded the
funeral train into the church. Eek
amples Of old Itch gates are still to be
seen in many country churchyards. In
Wales they are more modern and are
usually built OF stone. Some of the
old Itch gates are formed with one
wide door turning on central pivot
and self closing by means of rude
pulley wheel In the roof and a stone
weight inclosed In an iron frame, a
primitive but effective piece of machin'
cry. In Herefordshire they are also
called ''scallage" or 'scallenge" gates.
Itch gate" Is derived from the Anglo
Saxon Itch, II corpse; hence the north
country ''lyke wake,"-London An

VALUE OF TRAINING.

The young man or woman who II
wise enough to anticipate the future
as far as possible are given fair
chance when they reach the threshold
of life, but the average young person
suffers from the handicap OF lack Of
preparation. AS soon as he reaches
a working age he is turned loose
upon the world to make his way, and
being unframed in any one line Of
endeavor and consequently denied the
opportunity OF working on parity
with his more fortunate brothers the
foundations Of whose lifework have
been laid with infinite care and skill.
1t is no wonder that he Is handicapped
from the very start. He does the best
he can, probably, but in this day of
trained knowledge and specialized la.
Dor he cannot reach very far and must
be satisfied, as a rule, with the small.
err and less lucrative results which are
possible to him. II is the man who la.
bors under the heavy handicap Of In
competency who rails the most about
the unfairness of life's chances. He
realizes that he cannot accomplish the
results possible to the trained work
er, and the pity of 1t is that such a
condition exists through the lack OF
foresight on the part of those who
reared him to manhood.

Winter Wheat
Crop May Yield
6i9,OO6,OOO Blu.

Washington. April Prospects of
the winter wheat crop planted last
fall on the greatest acreage in the
country's history were that $4,000
600 bushels would be produced. This
estimate by the department of agri
culture today, based on the condition
of the growing crop on April l, may
be increased or decreased, according
to the changes in condition from that
date to time of harvest
The crop reporting board issued
this statement:
"The par or 100 per cent normal
condition of wheat on April /, may
be regarded as equivalent to approx
imately 1913 bushels per acre plant
ed; hen.e a condition of SS.S would
indicate 1910 bushels which on the
Al ,263,0O0 acres planted, would give
total production Of 619,000,000 bu-
shells as compared with a final esti
mate of 6S4,990,000 last year, $685.
561 900 two years ago, 399,919.0O0
three years ago. In forecasting this
quantity of 619,OO0,OO0 bushels 1t
should be considered as the amount
OF which the probability is about
equal that the outturn will be above
or below it; the crop will be larger
or smaller than this amount accord
ing as the changes in condition from
now to harvest are better or worse
than average changes from April /
to harvest.
'In a general way the wheat crop
suffered more than the average in the
Atlantic coast states as a result OF
cold dry, windy March without ade
quate snow covering in the central
states east of the Mississippi river
| the crop declined slightly through the
winter but not more than usual; re
ports of prevalence of Hessian fly are
made from many places In this sec
ton which gives some apprehension
"Great improvements in the condi
ton was made in the western part
of the grain belt, mainly in Nebras
ka, Kansas and Oklahoma, which
caused a general average condition
April /, although the average Of tn,
past en- years on April ! was q.
points lower than on December !
In the Pacific northwest large yield
are anticipated"
Winter wheat condition on April
was SS.S per cent of normal
against 95.6 last year and 1876 tn
ten year average, the department o
agriculture announced today. Their
was an increase Of O.5 points iron
last December compared with an az
erage decline OF 81 points in tn
past ten years.
Rye conditions was sos per cen
of a normal, against 91.3 last yea
