Largest Total Crop of Record

A corn crop, larger by more than
$4,000, 900 bushels than ever grown in
the history of American agriculture, is
the production of the farmers of the
United States this year.
Potatoes also are record CROP with
a total of 439, 686, 600 bushels, but I'M
favorable weather late in the season
caused a reduction of Il, 900, 900 bushels.
Tobacco production is record.
1.-The corn crop is 1917 is notable as
occupying the largest acreage and pro-
ducing the largest total crop of rec
ord" said a statement of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. THE yield per
acre, however, is not exceptional, ow-
ing to an unfavorable season, charac-
terized by a late spring, a cold "sum
mer, which was also too dry over much
of the corn belt and early and damag
ing frosts and freezes, the season being
thus shortened at both ends. Thus,
unhappily, the bountiful crop contains
much corn that did not fully mature
probably in excess of 20 per cent, al
though most of this had reached the
dough state, making it useful for silos
and early feeding. Corn quality was
1872 per cent, compared with "a per
cent last year and 10 below the aver
age. The yield per acre of corn aver
aged 264 bushels, compared with It
bushels last year. Pennsylvania led
with 80 bushels.

His Wife.

James Wesley Coates, in signed
statement Monday, confessed before
States Attorney Peach and Sheriff
Gates that he killed his wife, Annie
Coates, at his house, on the farm Of
Charles E. Eslin. near Bright Seat, in
the night, about the middle of May last.
Coates says that he and his wife
quarreled on the night of the killing ana
that he followed her out of the house
to a woodpile, and there he struck hel
on the head with a piece of wood.
When he found that she was dead he
picked the body up, and, carrying it
several hundred yards. buried it.
Annie Coates disappeared from her
home about May Is, and diligent search
failed to discover her whereabouts.
About two weeks ago Sheriff Gates
learned that shortly after the women g
disappearance Lizzie Brent came to
live with Coates. The latter was ar

claims that thu dead woman is his
second wife, his first one dying in Bal
timore about three years ago of ty-

President Wilson has issued his 1917

on the nation, even in the midst of the

1t has long been the honored custom
of our people to turn in the fruitful

| That custom we can follow even now in
the midst of the tragedy of world
shaken by war and immeasurable dis
sster. in the midst of sorrow and great

ourselves in the great day of our Dscla-
ration of Independence, by taking up
arms against tyranny that threatened
to master and debase men everywhere
and joining with other free peoples in
demanding for all the nations of the
world what we then demanded and OBJ
tanned for themselves. In this day of
the revelation of our duty not only to
defend cur own rights as nation, but
to defend also the rights of free men
throughout the world, there has been
vounchsafed rs 10 full and inspiring
measure the resolution and spirit of
united action. We have been
brought to one mind and purpose A

We should especially thank God that in
such circumstances, in the midst of the
greatest enterprise the spirits of men
have entered upon. we have, il we but
observe q reasonable and practicable
economy, abundance with which to sup
ply the needs Of those associated with
US as we'll as our own. A new light
shines about US. The great duties of q
new day awaken new and greater
national spirit ia us. We shall never
again be divided or Wonder what stun
we are made OF.
And while we render thanks Tor those

in u humbleness or spirit We may look
always to Him for guidance; that We
may be kept constant in the spirit anu
purpose Of service; that by His grace
our minds may be directed and Oh
hands strengthened. and that in His
good time liberty and security snd
