Size of the Corn Crop.

Some idea of the corn crop of the
United States may be obtained when
it is known that for every dollar of
gold taken from American mines the
farmers of the country husked SIT
worth of corn. Measured in money
the value of the crop in 1916 is esti-
mated at 81 ,5Ol000000. The corn fields
are large enough to cover all of the
surface of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, West
Virginia and Pennsylvania, if they
were confined to those states.

PARIS, July fisherman air

O'Clock last night. Two bombs
were dropped on the capitol. The

German attack in force similar TO
the recent raid made on London.

IA motor and then an explosion Oc-
CURED, followed after a brief in
terval by another. The prefecture
of Paris was accordingly instructed
to give the alarm throughout the
city. The last notification to the
people of the capital to take refuge
from possible air raid was given
on the night OF aMrch 1917.
Soon after the warning of the
raiders was given, the sky over the
city was alive with defense air
planes, twinkling like stars, from
which they were hardly TO be dis
.tinguished. Firemen dashed through
the streets sounding alarms on
powerful sirens, and one by one the
street lamps flickered out. Resi-
dents of the city, awakened from
their sleep, instead of taking refuge
in cellars, mounted TO the roofs or
went into the streets to watch the
drOning airplanes circling over
head. At 1:1O o'clock the firemen
gave the signal that all danger was
over and the Parisians returned to
their beds, having seen nothing of
the enemy.

the strike on 10 railroads of switch
men affiliated with the Brotherhood

For a time after the men walked
out at s o'clock this morning the

Contending that they sought
only the establishment of reasonable
rules regarding employment, promo

1000 men quit work. The railroad
managers conference committee
places the number who refused TO
work at less than $500 and de-

tons In the eyes OF some Of those
who watched the progress OF the
strike. il was regarded as contest
with the railroads.
Railroad officials declared late in
the day that their switch yards
were working with half OF the nor
NAL force and asserted that such a
record the first day OF the strike
demonstrated that the roads could
resume normal conditions in a few
DAYS. regardless Of a settlement Of
