Just at present speculative attention
is focused almost entirely on Argen-
tina. and the news regarding crop pros
poets in that country's most important
wheat sections contlsues extremely
pessimistic. The dry and unseasonsbly
hot weather continues IN the northern
regions, and some authorities claim
that over half of the crop is in pre-
carious condition. Complaints are also
coming now regarding drouth IN the
more central districts, and in addition
il is claimed that locusts are causing
losses.

at 150,000.000 bushels, the total being
about 100000 bushels smaller than

CAN TAKE BOOKS ON
 SUMMER VACATION
Library Makes New Rule for Benefit of Those Leaving City During
 Summer

Persons who are going on vacations may borrow six books from the Birming- ham public library and keep them during the whole time they are away. if that does not extend beyond September 30 without renewal and without paying fines, according to information given out yes- terday This is called vacation privi- lege" and goes into effect June l.
 The library excludes from the vacation privilege all seven-day books, and re- serves the right to exclude other books that, in the opinion of the librarians, are likely to be much called for. It also reserves the right to call in after one month books much needed for serious reference purposes.
 The privilege extends from June 1 to September 30. but no person is expected to borrow the books until day or two before he leaves and he is expected to return them as soon as he comes home.
 The purpose of the rule it is explained, is to provide for patrons who wish to read or study during their absence from the city, and it is based on the theory that most Of the books drawn will be duplicates, or others for which the sum- mer demand is not likely to be heavy.

 The emergency steam plant was speeded into commission as rapidly as possible to carry the load until the damage could be repaired.
