OUR FIRST COLLEGE.
Harvard Had Nine Men In its Origina,
 Glass of Graduates.

Harvard Had Nine Men In its Original
 Glass of Graduates.
 The first commencement of Harvard college. the first of the educational in. sututions of the United States. was held Aug. g, 1642. Nine young men comprised the first class of graduates In 1886 the general court of Massachu- setts agreed to give f4OO toward a schoale or colledge" and the next year ordered that the institution be estab' lished at "Newetowne."
 In 163S John Harvard, a preacher. died and bequeathed about $7OO to the college to be built at Newtown. In his honor the institution was named Har- yard college. while the name of the town was changed to Cambridge in honor of the great English university.
 It Is doubtful if the original grant of f40O was ever actually paid. and in any event the college project remained in abeyance until the bequest of Harvard at once initiated the necessary meas ures.
 The original fund was added to in various ways. and much money was raised by lotteries. Henry Dunster. a Hebrew scholar, was chosen first pres ident. and class began a course of study in 1888. and nine graduated in l642.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

OHIO CROP SUMMARY

Weather conditions during Septem-
Der were such that the corn crop ripen
ed slowly and the close Of the month
found considerable percentage Of the
crop not yet mature. Frost on the
morning fthe 18th did considerable
damage to the crop in the limited area
in the liorth-central and northwestern
parts Of the state. Damage was
confined principally to corn on the low
lands, the high corn as a rule, suffer-
ing but little If any damage. The crop
as whole shows decline in condi-
tion Of several points during the
month, nevertheless the present fore
cast is for a crop which has been ex-
ceeded but once during the past ten
years, namely in 1912.
Our cat crop this season exceeded
even the high expectations as to yield,
and must be given first place in the
states record Of average yield per
acre. The crop was secured under
splendid weather conditions, general
ly, and the quality as a rule is very
good indeed. Except in limited areas
where the rainfall was insufficient the
tobacco crop made material progress
in growth, escaped frost damage Of
any consequence and later weather
conditions were nearly ideal for the
cutting and housing Of crop. The pres
ent forecast Of the potato crop shows
a slight increase over that Of q month
ago. The early crop was exceptional
ly good and the late crop is Of consid-
erable promise in most sections; cool
weather during the month however,
delayed somewhat the maturing Of the |
crop. The fruit outlook as to apples
and pears, is quite discouraging, while
grapes promise crop slightly above
hat Of the ten-year average.
Prices
The first price given below is the
average on October this year, and
he second on October i, last year.
Wheat, 2O5 and 142 cents per bush.
l. Corn, 1888 and s. cents. Oats, So
md 46. Potatoes, 1870 and 143. Hay
1850 and $10.5O per ton. Eggs, 80

ed, but she seemed immensely interest
ed in hustle dresses on the stage and
the costumes scattered everywhere
over the house.
Picturesque, indeed, are the compro-
mises effected by Fashion. The
dresses are in the same wonderful
tints and colors that have alway sheen
favorites, perhaps though a trifle sub
dued. Some are high in the back,
square or round in front, with long
sleeves Of tulle or very short ones Of
the same material as the bodice or the
overskirt. The waist that Is cut
straight across from shoulder to shoul
der is very popular this year, for it
gives the effect Of a higher neck.
Simplicity and Lack Of Trimming
There is very little trimming on the
new models. They seem to rely to a
great extent on their line and color,
and charming indeed is the result. One
OF the most attractive Of the new
modes in evening gowns is illustrated
here. It is Of rose -colored satin, bo-
dice and skirt, with a filmy overskirtl
or tunic Of soft mist-gray chiffon,
stitched on the lower edge with rose
colored silk in the long, loose stitch,
which makes such q fascinating trim
ming. The collar and the short sleeves
Of the chiffon are stitched in the same
manner.
Good Taste in Slippers

for evening, and the difference be-

plain and figured materials are worn
only on the most formal occasions. In
deed, the alI-black or all-whtie slipper
is always appropriate and in good
taste. Stockings must, Of course,
match the costume and the slipper. ]
Fashions That Flatter
Every woman, no matter what her
age size or coloring, has secret thrill
and new hope each time she buys or
plans a frock. Perhaps, now, she
will attain that degree Of perfection
which she desires, and with the aid Of
the Fairy New Dress, show to the
world that she is ever young and
fair! With care and deep considera-
ton she can do this, for there are fash
ions that flatter, fashions that make
the best of one, fashions that create |
around one the atmosphere Of charm
and romance. The surplice style Is |
one Of these. and the evening gown

The question Of evening dress, the
so be or not to be" Of the decollete,
seems to have been decided. The opti-
mistic spirit Of America has prevailed,
and while there is not the same gorg-
eous display as in the past, evening
clothes are worn, and rarely beautiful
ones at that. The president Of the
United States paid a visit to New York
not long ago, and, together with Mrs.
Wilson, passed an evening at one of
the most enjoyable plays of the sea-
son OF course, the house was wildly
enthusiastic; it was some time before
the play could begin, and even then
the audience paid more attention to
the official box-party than to the play.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 20.-Govern-
ment control of the coal industry
moved a step nearer to-day, when Pres
ident Wilson formally named Robert 5.
Lovett, of the War Industries Board,
director Of priority of transportation
and approved an order issued by Judge
Lovett directing that rail and steam
ship lines give btuminous coal ship
ments to the Northwest preference over
all other freight movements.
Within the next day or so the Presi-
dent is expected to appoint a coal ad-
ministrator, on whom he will confer
authority to control coal production
and distribution, including price fixing
powers, given to the Executive in the
food control act. At an hours confer
ence with the Federal Trade Commits
sion to-day he went over details of his
plans.
There was no intimation tonight as
to whom the President would name. II
was said he probably would not select
a member of the Trade Commission or
give full powers to Judge Lovett, but
would look elsewhere for a man.
Wilson for One-Man Control
Officials familiar with the Presi
dents trend of thought said tonight
that he appeared firmly convinced
one-man control would work out bet
ter than to place supervision of the
industry under one of the existing gov
ernment agencies.
The aan named would have at his
disposal she services of the Trade
Commission. which is in position to
suggest fair prices; the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which will ad-
minister the new car service law; the
Director Of Priority, who will place
shipments Of fuel where most needed,
and the Exports Council, which will
control exports.
OF the several war coal control plans
suggested, officials believe the Presi-
dent most probably viii adopt the one
calling for government requisitioning
Of the entire output Of the mines and
government sale Of coal to the public.
This programme has the approval of
the Trade Commission and OF many
other officials conveTsant with the coal
situation.
An alternative would provide gov
ernment price fixing by the mines and
by jobbers and wholesalers. the Coal
Administrator to keep watch on the
industry and to take over the business
of any concern failing TO abide by reg
ulations TO be prescribed.
The food bill gives the President
power 10 adopt either of these plans
and authority 20 carry it out through
any agency ne may select.
President Visits Board
President Wilson visited the Trade
Commission to-day for the second time
within three days. He called Saturday
for a conference, when he learned that
The commission had completed its re-
mort on the cost OF producing coal.
To-day he made another trip, and
asked for additional information. This
was furnished. and the commission
called in David Wing, its coal expert,
who explained the figures nj length.
