A Christmas Suggestion

When you make a present of
The Youths Companion you are
giving not merely the means OF
wholesome pleasure and fascina-
ting information every week.
The Companion is all that. But
it is something more. Hundreds
of letters to The Companion
speak of the influence of the pa
per in binding home ties. The
mothers and fathers and the boys
and girls in Companion families
are very close knit in their affec-
tons. They have a common it,
terest in the same duties and rec
reations, and they all regard The
Companion as one of themselves.
1t has a personality and a char
acter unique among publications,
and you cannot introduce a more
inspiring influence into any home
circle.
1t is not a publication merely
its friend. The Companion
alone is $500, but the publishers
make an Extraordinary Double
Christmas Present Offer-The
Youths Companion and MCCALL 5
Magazine together for $2.25.
This two at-one-price offer il
cludes:
1. The Youths Companion-52
issues in 1918.
2. All remaining 1917 issues of
The Companion free.
3. The Companion Home Calen-
dar for 1918.
A. McCall's Magazine-12 fash.
ion numbers in 1918.

Crop Conditions.

The estimated area seeded to
wheat for the harvest of 1918 is
1870, 758 acres. By comparison
with the original area reported
by the township assessors for the
harvest Of 1917, it shows an in
crease of 1872, 1872 acres, and is e.
qual to tan-year average acre
age. Only nine counties of the
state report less than 100 per
cent compared with lasv year.
Many correspondents report that
the acreage was cut short owing
10 the late corn and scarcity of
help.
The carly sown wheat is look
ing fine, late sown just coming
through the ground. The condi-
ton Of the growing plant is esti-
mated at IS per cent, compared
with an average.
The area seeded to alfalfa will
be 1851 acres less than that OF
1916.
TIE area sown to rye is estim-
ated at 96,7l9 acres, as against
1O1, ,372 acres sown one year ago.
The condition of the crop is esti-
mated at 81 per cent. compared
with an average.
Sugar beet acreage is about e
quail to that of 1916.
The corn prospect shows de-
cine of five points since report
of last month, being estimated at
80 per cent, compared with an
average. This should produce
an average of about 81 bushels
per acre, or a total production of
approximately 1O8, 1893, ,788 BUSH
els The complaint of damage
by frost is very general and much
Of the crop did not mature, re-
suluing, as the husking shows, in
much soft and understandable
corn.
The estimated area planted to
potatoes was 1O8, 1863 acres The
average production per acre is
reported at 109 bushels. Nearly
every county in the state repol is
rot, the damage ranging from
one to ten per cent, with an av-
erage of three per cent for the
state as a whole.
The average condition of hogs
is reported at 81 per cent, COM
pared with an average; the num-
ber to be fattened shows 80 per
cent. Hog cholera is prevalent
in many sections Of /. stat.

Washington, Nov. IL. (Spccia
Correspondence Congressman
Edward Volgt Of Wisconsin is
one of those Republicans who
voted against the war resolution
when it was before the House
last April. But if war shall be

duty hound to support the GOV,

mind shall bring victory to Am-
erican arms and an early peace. "
Mr.. Voigt has demonstrated IN

While the soldiers and sailors

sideration in the House Congress-
man John F. Miller Cf the state
of Washington offered an amend
ment declaring that when the act
ceased to be in effec&at the close
of the war all civil suits and pro-
secutions under it's provisions
should proceed to final judgment
and for that purpose the act was
TO continue in effect. Why such
an obviously necessary provision
was rot included in the bill as
reported ky the Democratic com
mittee was not explained. Mr..
Miller's amendment covered the
point in complete and detailed
manner, but nevertheless it was
thrown aside in favor Of a simi- |

out the invariable custom of CIV

pleased during the last session to
receive from the branch of the

most fervently patriotic resolu-

ors of the resolution drew a viv-

fate of their brethren who are
still laboring under the yoke of
Austria Hungary. T e docu-
ment declared that the allegiance

Hardy had gone to the Duponts' for
supper when Vandervyn returned to
the agency. He made a hasty toilet
and followed. Marie met him with
marked coldness. This, however, melt.
ed before he had finished his report to
Hardy. All agreed that the old chief
probably would take a fancy to Oinna.
and that. as a result, there would be
a fair chance Of pacifying the tribe.
When Hardy turned to the girl. he
found her and Vandervyn exchanging
glances and murmuring remarks. His
habitual gravity softened to a smile
Of wistful sadness. At the first oppor-
tunity he excused himself. Midnight
had passed before the light in the little
Gifted parlor Of the Dupont house was
extinguished.

ate little. and her manner toward Har.
