go a little slow in buying July wheat

Cincinnati - The prolonged dry
weather in Kansas combined with lack
of snow covering during the winter
has undoubtedly resulted in some
damage in some sections, but it is be-
lieved that private estimates indicat-
ing rs per cent loss will prove extreme,
especially If rain comes within the
next fortnight. Conditions over the
greater part of the southwest are
probably below normal and soaking
rains are needed over the entire SOUTH
west belt. Some sections in Nebras-
ka will probably reseed winter wheat
with spring wheat. Indiana, Ken
lucky and Tennessee send better re-
ports and only moderate losses have
been experienced in Illinois and Ohio.

BERLIN OF THE EIGHTIES
Some Pleasant Recollections Of Der
Alte Kaiser and His Son
and Grandson.

AT that time Berlin was much less
than half its present size. The popu-
lati"n was probably 1.2OOOOO, and rs
there were some 10000 soldiers sta
toned in and about Berlin, one who
had never seen military officer in
Ibis life. except in II parade OF the
militia on Decoration day, met these
guyly uniformed gentlemen at every
turn. in the streets. in the cafes, and
in all places OF public resort, with no
little surprise. This experience of it.
self induced reflection. What were all
these officers and soldiers doing?
Why were they withdrawn from pro
ductive Industry Why were they so
quickly deferred to by the civilian
populntion7 Such questions as these
the young American asked, and he re-
ceived replies that revealed to him,
again for the first time, different
view of the state and of government
to any that he had come in contact
with at home.
New and interesting experiences
awaited him at every turn, writes
President Nicholas Butler Of Colum-
bia in scribner's. Emperor william
l, der alte kaiser, as he was affec-
tionately called by the populace, was
TO be seen every morning in the win
dow Of his working room at the pal
ace. at the corner Of what was then
called the Opera Platz. 1t was the
custom OF his majesty to return by II
gracious gesture every greeting from
one who might pass his window, and
to rise in his place and formally salute
whenever body of troops however
small, passed by. The crown prince,
who was, after nearly a decade, to
come to the throne for few short
weeks as Emperor Friedrich Ill, was
the very ideal OF manly dignity and
beauty. and seemed to incurnnte in his
own person the attributes aud tradi-
lions of royalty. His eldest son, now
and for more than a quarter Of CEN
fury past the German emperor, was
an officer of the garrison. He was
frequently seen driving or riding about
the city, and came into familiar CON
verse with considerable group OF
young men, among whom occasionally
an American student was Included.
The daily sight Of royalty and of the
imperial trappings and ceremonies
gave to the institution II reality that
il had never before had in the Amer
leans mind.

FLASHY Innings FOR COATS
Designers Have Gone to the Extreme,
Both In Color and Design, in
Seasons Modes.

One of the sensations of the coat
season is the lavish use of the most
astonishing Innings. such patterns be-
ing selected as display the most bizarre
cubist ideas-birds and florette effects,
squares and patches and all manner OF
queer things that are not unlike poster
designs. Since the outer garment is SO
conservative In effect, 1t is only rea-
sonable that the designer should go
happily crazy over the interior decora-
tons.
Pussy willow and all the new figured
silks are most In favor. A few solid
colors are used, but more often the
selection is some dizzifying stripe or
even check-very noisy, but always
with a color note that is harmonious
with the outer fabric, which may be
of wool velours broadcloth, velour de
nord or plush. Following the present
interest In gold tones, the best pat
terms embrace old gold and green, old
gold and empire blue or old gold and
black-the color of the garment, of
course, determining the selection of
the lining.
