GOVERNMENT REPORT
PREDICTS SHORT CROP
OFFICIAL FIGURES ESTIMATE A
1,35O,OO0 BALE REDUCTION,
AND PRICES JUMP.

WASHINGTON.-Heavy damage
to the growing cotton crop between
June 25 and July 25 has caused re-
duction of 100000 bales in the
prospective production. The August
cotton report of the department of
agriculture, announced today, indi-
Gated a production of 12,916,000
equivalent 500-pound bales, compar-
ed with 14,266,OOO bales forecast
from the condition of the crop June
20. The condition during the month
dropped 8.8 per cent to 1928 of a
normal.
Condition of the growing cotton
crop on July 25 indicates a total pro-
duction of 12,916,000 equivalent 500
pound bales, the department. of agri-
culture today announced in its Au-
gust cotton report. That compares
with l4,266,000 bales forecast last
month by the bureau of corp esti-
mates, basing it's calculations on the
condition of the crop on June rs, and
with II, 191, 500 bales, last years fl
nal production, 16,134,930 in 1914,
14,156,486 in 1913 and 12,7O3,421
bales in 1912. The final output,
however, will be larger or smaller
than the above forecast according as
conditions hereafter are better or
worse than the average conditions.
Condition of the crop on July 25 as
compiled from reports of agents and
correspondents in the cotton belt was
placed at 1928 per cent of a normal,
compared with 81 on June 25, 1874
on July 25 last year, 76.4 in 1914,
and 1876, the ten-year average on
July 25th.
During the month storms caused
some damage to the crop. In the first
week weather was favorable in most
places and the crop made satisfactory
growth, but owing to earlier unfavor-
able conditions some fields were ir-
regular and in places the plants were
small and backward. Boil weevil
were reported damaging the crop in
Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkan-
sas and Louisiana.
High winds and heavy rains of
tropical storm did serious damage in
portions of the central and east gulf
states during the second week. Much
of the crop in the lowlands was flood
ed and uplands were badly washed
and the crop otherwise injured. In
extreme western Florida the crop was
damaged from rs to SO per cent by
the storm. Continued rains favored
boil weevil increase and prevented
much needed cultivation. In the
western portion of the belt and
northern part east of the Mississippi
weather was generally favorable and
the crop made good progress.
During the latter part of the month
some damage was sustained from
floods in the northeastern section.
The weather west of the Mississippi
was favorable, but in the east it was
less so, especially in the lowlands. In
creased damage by boil weevil was
reported. Comparisons of conditions
on July 25, by states, follows:

How the most irritating tootchache

tain fingers and the cure of lumbago,
hay fever, wry necks and other all
ments accomplished by the same pro-
cess, was outlined by DR.. Fred Kei-
logg of Providence, R. l., before the
Pittsburg Osteopathic Association in
a lecture on "zone-therap.
DR.. Kellogg, in describing zone
therap," used stereopticon slides to
illustrate his claims for the treat
ment. According to him one has but
to press a toothbrush against the roof
of his mouth to effect a cure for
headache. All one has to do when
suffering with a troublesome case Of
hay fever is to press the forefinger OF
either hand on .hard object. DR.;
kellogg stated that he generally used
an aluminium comb to curb the dis
ease.

LORDS PRAYER ON SPACE
HALF SIZE OF A PIN HEAD
Remarkable Piece of Engraving Done
By Spokane Man.

By a Spokane Man.
On a space half the size of an ordi-
nary pin head Godfrey Lundberg, a
Spokane man, has engraved the
Lords Prayer. Each letter is clear
and distinct, and the work is consid-
cred wonderful achievement by
many expert engravers who have
seen it. There are twelve lines of
engraving, four of which have more
letters therein than are contained in
the alphabet. Three years were
years were spent by Mr.. Lunberg in
doing the work.
The letters are so small that it is
necessary to use a powerful glass to
distinguish them. A solid gold pin
was used. A brother, Mauritz Lund-
berg, is making a trip through the
country exhibiting the work. He is
on his way to New York, where he
will place it in museum.
The time spent by his brother in
making the tools for the work of en-
craving was considerably longer than
it took to do the engraving. He stat
ed that several attempts were made
before a perfect job was finished.

PLACE y :
GENERAL ON SALARY
House Passes Constitutional Amend
ment by Big Majority. Allows Cir
c,,its To Fix Compensation.

The bill amending the state consti--
tuition so as to authorize the general
assembly to abolish the fees of solic-
itors general has been passed by the
house by a vote of 159 to 10. The
enactment of this measure is the re-
suit of fight against the fee system
for solicitors which has lasted for ten
years, and in connection with which
it was charged that at least one sollc-
itor received as high as $4,000 a
year.
The bill, which was ordered imme-
diately transmitted to the senate,
makes it optional with the judicial
circuits of the state to put their So
licitors on a salary basis, just as it is
provided under a recent act for the
abolition of county treasurers.

VALUE OF A NICKEL
HAS RISEN TO SIX CENTS
War Has Increased Price of Metal
Over the Coinage Value.

The European war, upon which al
most all abnormal conditions are
blamed these days, has boosted the
actual value of the United States B.
cent piece to 6 cents. g.,
Since the war the value of nickel
has gradually risen. This increase
has been due to the great demand
for the metal for the manufacture OF
munitions and weapons. Back IN the
days when the world was at peace
there was actually about one-quarter
cents worth of nickel in every Amer
lean scent piece.

Dear Mr.. Holworthy: / can't IN

80 much about good roads and just
wasting time that way. l should
think you would Just go out and fix
the roads. q should think anybody
that sees how bad ttef roads sre
would simply go out and fix all the
roads he had time for, and then we
would soon have them done. / asked
Bill Sammon about this and he ex-
planned it to me quite carefully and
said you had to get the consent OF
the people, but that sounds so silly.
II anybody objects to having good
roads, Of course they must have a
good reason, and SO how can you tell
that they could ever change their
minds.
Bill Sammon and know about the
roads around here. We started to a
picnic last week, and we had to take
the Chero-C. Well, after he began
to lose his temper about the roads
and nearly swore once, thought OF
the Chero-Cola, and whenever ! saw
that panied look on his face getting
too intense, 1 would say, PLEASE oper
up another bottle of Chero-Cola,
and that would divert his mind
J little while. If person could drinl
too much Chero-Cola, we'd both b
} dead. We told them at the picni
that we forgot to bring It. Trub!
said, "Well, I'll be-, how do yo'
think we can have a picnic withou
Chero-Cola?" So you see, neede'
: one more bottle.
I was glad they hadn't asked us t
bring sandwiches. They said the
