Omaha was disappointed when ad-
verse weather conditions prevented
the announced fight of Ruth Law

as II a. m, expecting to hold vantage
points where they might catch the
Liberty bond certificate which the
famous aviatrix was to drop.
Miss Law started her flight. from
Lincoln Country club grounds. At IL

to fill the tank and give the machine

YIELD OF WHEAT
WILL Be LARGER
!. THANLAsT YEAR
Shortage in the Winter Crop
is More Than Offset by In
creased Acreage Sown
to Spring Wheat.

Washington, June S.--America' S
1917 crop, as forecast today by the
Department of Agriculture, will fall
far below normal, despite prospect
for more than an ordinary yield OF
spring wheat. ''f ...
A total yield estimated at 656,000,-
900 bushels will give the country To-
100000 bushels more than last years
crop, but with the heavy demand
from abroad and virtually no re-
serve store, it will not meet war
needs unless the country practices
the most rigid economy.
The department forecast a spring
crop of 283,000,000 bushels, a big
yield, but estimates Of winter wheat
production give a crop of only $780,
100000 bushels, 100000 more than
was forecast from the May | condi-
ton, but still far from the normal
yield. 1885,.
Improved weather conditions dur
ing May and increased prospects OF
winter wheat indicated crop OF $751;
100000 bushels. The crop began this
spring under adverse conditions, H.
$4,000 acres having to be abandoned
because of the severe winter and other
causes. April conditions indicated a
production of 430,000,000 bushels, but
during that month growing conditions
,vere en- poor that the Nav foreca q
was reduced to 366,ll6,000 bushels,
3 Spring Wheat Area Increases.
: The increased spring wheat area
placed at 100000 acres and the good
start of this crop under excellent
growing conditions indicate a produc-
ton OF 2S3,000,000 bushels compared
with 158.l42,000 bushels last year;

Money Not Tied Up.

Money invested in Liberty loan
bonds is in no way tied up. "
So far as the Government is con-
cerned the money paid in for
these bonds, including that loan
ed our allies, is to be spent in
this country and therefore i'm
mediately paid back to the peo-
pie for labor and products Of the
United States. So far from be-
ing tied up" this money is, in
effect, never withdrawn from
circulation.
So far as the investor in Lib
erty loan bonds is concerned, his
money is not tied up" since
there is always ready market
for United States Government
bonds. Everybody knows this.
AS shown by the subscription,
the demand for Liberty loan
bonds exceeded the supply so per
cent. This creates an immedi-
ate market for the Liberty loan
bonds. Another issue will be Of
fered to the people, the an
nouncement of which will be
made by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo in due course. The
oversubscription of the first is

Line Up Labor
For the Fall Harvest

For the harvest of the fall
crops a great deal of extra help
will be required, and for this
emergency the Government is
undertaking to MOBILIZE the idle
labor of the State. Arrange
ments have been made with the
County Clerk of this county to
register the names of farmers
who will need help and the names
of men who are available for
employment. If you will need
more hands on your farm, or if
you are out of work, leave your
name at the court house at once.
Also, see the Secretary of your
Commercial Club or your County
Agent, and let these men help
you. 1t is to the interest of the
nation that the crops be quickly
gathered, to avoid waste, and
that the surplus labor of the
State be employed. There need
be no scarcity Of farm help or
unemployed men if this free en-
ployment bureau is made use of.

Now as to the appointment of
the commissioners: The law, as
you know, provides that the
county judge shall name the
commissioners but as you indl-
cate there is some doubt about
who might be named lam will
ing, in order that nothing | may
do might hurt the road, to leave
this matter entirely in the hands
of the people. 1t seems that
quite a disagreement has come
up over this question and | feel
that the people are the ones to
settle this matter in the right
way. You are aware | am sure
that some have stated that very
few people attended the meeting
about which you wrote me at
which time certain estimable
gentlemen, in whom | have the
utmost confidence were selected
to be presented for my considera-
ton. In order to remove all con-

selected at a mass meeting of
the people residing in the terri
tory affected. Said mass meet

that any thing | car do lawfully
