CUTTING BIG WHEAT ACREAGE.

Shipley Bros. have about finished
cutting wheat on their ranch north Of
town. They have 600 acres of wheat
which is possibly the largest single
acreage IN the county. Mr. Alex Ship
ley says he figures that they will
thresh between 1900 and 10000 bush
els. This means fine revenue from
heir land and even the sale price If
the wheat does not represent the en-
tire income from the crop, as the Ship
ley Bros have derived much revenue
from paSiuragc and will get still more
revenue this winter from the feed val
ne Of the straw which will help fur
nish roughness for cattle.

men. young women have also had their
plans disturbed by the calls for the
men Of their families which frequent

mandS will still be uncertain up to the
end Of August but II is expected that
conditions will Il" settled for II Time by
October T. Thus many young people
who otherwise could not enter the
university. may bc enabled to do 50.
The delay in opening is rather an
advantage than disadvantage for the
university, since II will permit the

Def FOR RElCHSTAG
Must Accept Won Hertling Rule or
Military Dictator Will Be Named.

Copenhagen, Nov. S.-The threat
that a military dictatorship is in
evitable unless insistance upon a rad
ical vice chancellor is dropped and the
government of Count Won HertIing as
it now stands is accepted, is held out
over the progressive democratic ele-
ments in Germany.
Count Won Hertling thru a semi-of-
fetal note in the Norddeutsche Allege-
meme Zeitung announces that no
promises whatever were made to give
the radicals the two posts they de-
sire. Representatives of the reichstag
majority have issued an equally
authoritative announcement that they
adhere to their old position. The rad
ical press indicates that the chancel-
lor's compromise proposal to appoint
a radical deputy to the newly created
ministry for occupied territories with
seat in the PruSsian cabinet is not
acceptable, because such a post would
be merely temporary and the occupant
military authorities.
The situation is drifting rapidly to-
ward the goal desired by the reaction
aries-that is, split in the present
minority in the reichstag. and the
formation of a new coalition embrac-
ing the conservatives and the national
liberals.
Such a bloc which would have a
bare majority in the reichstag is by
no means impossible. Notwithstanding
the apparent unity proclaimed by the
majority caucus. The Catholic CEN
trum is by no means adverse to fol-

ATLANTA HAS ENOUGH
HOURS OF DAYLIGHT"

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 17.-That to
set the clock back an hour and
pretend to gain another hour OF
daylight in Atlanta would be
as foolish as to change the figures
on the thermometer and pretend
you were warm When it was free
zing merely because the thermo-
meter said 40 or 80 instead OF 30,
is the ingenious argument that
has apparently killed forever the
hour more OF daylight" plan for
Atlanta.
Every civic club and organize
ton i'll Atlanta has been having
debates and arguments about it,
but the result is that Atlanta will
in all probability continue to have
the same standard central time as
all other places in the same longi-
tudc, and that individuals who
want an hour more Of daylight
will have to continue getting it
on their own hook by the less
complicated process Of simply
getting up an hour earlier in the
morning.
