Wheat has a growing condition of 81
per cent. This is per cent below the
condition of one month ago, and /
per cent above condition of same date

Cattle show a decrease of per cent
and swine IL per cent These figures
are due to the high market price
which has been prevalent during the
last twelve months.

SINGER MOVES TO

New York, April 14.-Next to being

to wealth in these days would seem
to be that of a successful singer, es-
peeiaily one whose voice is suited for
the machines that grind out the

cIined to doubt the truth of this
statement might ask John McCor-
mack, the celebrated tenor, who to-
day takes possession of country es-
tate at Noroton, Conn, for which he
recently paid SIPS 600. This sum is
safd to represent the amounts paid
to the Irish Caruso in the past few
years by the monograph companies.
In addition, the singer IS said to pos
sess another hundred thousand or
so that has been paid by the Ameri-
can public with fondness for hear

add considerably more to his "pile,

nftion.

New York, April l4.-t1ve years
ago today. at 1870 p. m, occurred
the greatest single disaster at sea
ever knowmup to that time-a ship,
the pride of the worlds merchant
marine, sunk on her maiden trip by
contact with an iceberg and carrying
down with her large number of pas
sengers-among them some of the
best known men and women in the
world-together with cargo worth
millions of dollars.
The ship was the newest White Star
liner Titanic, which, with her bull
warks and construction safeguards
that made her unsuitable" had gone
to the bottom off the banks of New
foundland with over $500 of her pas
sengers and crew.
On the roll of honor of those who
died were Captain Archibald Butt,

Washington, d. c., April 14.-Ev-
erything is in readiness for the en-
tertainment OF the twenty-sKth con-
tinentaI congress of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, which is
to begin its regular sessions here
Monday. With hundreds of delegates
already erowding the hotels, mere
man promises to be an insignificant
creature in Washington for a week to
come.
This is election year with the
Daughters and today things are boil
ing politically around the hotels
where the various candidates for of
flee have established their headquar-
ters
Most interest centers in the con-
test for the office of president gen
eral, now held by Mrs. Williams
Cummings Story of New York, who
is eligible for reelection. Mrs. Geo.
Thaeher Guernsey of Kansas, who
was defeated for the office two
years ago by Mrs. Story, is again in
the field. The contest two years ago
was bitter, but the indications are
that the present struggle will far sur
pass the preceding contest in that re-
spect. The election will take place
Thursday.
In addition to Mrs. Guernsey, three
other candidates for president-gen-
eral are waging active campaigns.
They are Mrs. George o. Squire of
st. Paul, Mrs. John Miller Horton of
Buffalo, who was an unsuccessful
candidate four years ago, and Mrs.
]. Hamilton Lewis, wife of the Illi-
nois senator.
The supporters of Mrs. Guernsey
claim she has more than enough dele
gates pledged to insure her election.
They predict that one or more of the
opposing candidates will withdraw
from the race before the day of the
election.
Formally organized twenty-seven
years ago by handful of women, the
National Society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution today en-
rolls nearly 100000 active members.
It has chapters in every state of the
union, and IN Cuba, China, Mexico
and the Philippines. The society is
IN perfect working order and has al

The preservation of the spirit of

the foremost object of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. It makes

the Revolution it interests itself par
ticularly. The heroes of '76 have
never been forgotten, but that the

today have pledged themselves.
