Crops to Break Record.

billion bushels increase over last
years production in the principal food
crops is the response American farm
ers have made to President Wilson's
mid-April appeal saying that upon
them rests the fate of the war and
the fate of nations"
The extent of the farmers response
was disclosed when production Of
6,093, 100000 bushels of principal food
crops was forecast in the department
of agriculture's July crop report 1t
shows this years corn crop will be the
largest in history except one and that
four and possibly five other crops will
make new high records.
The corn crop which, with favorable
weather from now one may equal the
bumper yield of 1912, shows an in
crease of Sal 100000 bushels over last
year with total of 1924 100000 bush
els. The acreage is IA per cent larger
than last year.
The combined winter and spring
wheat crop will be 3s,OOO,O0o bushels
more than last year, with total of
67S,000,000 bushels.
Barley, with prospects for the third
largest crop ever grown, will exceed
i"ot ySdi NY
bushels, with an output of 214,OO0, 900
bushels.
Oats promise to exceed last years
crop by POI 100000 bushels, the total
production being forecast at 1,452 ,OO0,-
600 bushels. That is slightly under the
record. Improvement between now and
harvest, however, may result in a rec.
ord crop.
White potato production on a 221h
per cent increase in acreage will be a
record crop with 452,O00,0O0 bushels
or 167 100000 bushels more than last
year, not taking into account the home
garden production which this year is
estimated to be much larger than ever
before.
Rye, another record crop this year
will amount to 56,,100,00O bushels
100000 bushels more than last year
Sweet potatoes will register a new
high total with S2,20O,OOO bushels, OF
II 100000 bushels more than last year
Rice production will be 34,40O, OOC
bushels, the second largest crop evel
produced.

TEUTON WAR CHIEF
QUITS HIS OFFICE
GENERAL Won STEIN, PRUSSiAN
MINISTER OF WAR, HAS HAD
ENOUGH.

Kaiser Will Also Permit Chancellor
HolIweg to Withdraw From Post
Emperor William Offers
Many Election Reforms.

Berne, Switzerland.-An admiralty
telegram from Berlin says that Cen
eral Won Stein, the Prussian minister
of war, has resigned.
The Prussian war office is in reality
the imperial ministry of war, perform
ing the functions of that office for the
empire.
General Won Stein recently excited
the antagonism of the socialists by his
pan-German activities opposing peace
efforts.
DR.. Won Bethmann Hollweg, the Ger
man imperial chancellor, has resigned
and resignation was accepted.
If the Prussian diet, whose present
complexion is of conservative view,
fails to meet the conditions set forth
in Emperor Williams decree for cleo
tion reforms, it is not unlikely drastic
measures will be adopted to overcome
the obstructionists.
A significant feature of the emper-
or's edict is the specific stipulation
that the reform measure must be
forthcoming in time for the next cleo
ton. Introduction of equal, direct and
secret suffrage in Prussia will put an
end to plural voting as well as to an
electoral franchise based on taxation.

reactionary old guard will make a
stubborn fight on the measure, but

German Cabinet Crisis.
Germany's first commoner chancel
lor, DR.. George Michaelis, bureau
crat without even a noble won" be-
fore his name, has as yet given no in
dication of his policy regarding re
form and peace. Neither the con
servatives nor the liberals have ven
tured to call him their own.
The chancellor's first step, which
might be interpreted as an indication
of an open mind, was to receive rep
resentatives of the two divergent
groups in the reichstag and permit
them to explain their respective
standpoints, the chancellor playing
the role of listener to the converse
tons conducted by the vice chancel
lor, DR.. Karl Helfferich, and the
reichstag representatives.

The German papers unite in char

In Brief

~ FORGE WASHINGTON,
Father Of His Country,
was born On Feb. %, 1892.
in Westmoreland county, Va.
He received a common Eng
fish education, and upon that
foundation, with the cardinal
virtues of truth, integrity and
justice, was built the structure
of his greatness. When seven
. teen years of age he HAD become
one of the most accurate land
surveyors of his time. and a year
; later he was appointed public
. surveyor. At the age Of nineteen
he was appointed adjutant gen
eral of militia, with the rank of
: major, but Don afterward re-
!. signed to accompany his invalid
half brother, Lawrence, to the
!, Barbados, where George was
. Frustrated by smallpox. Law
. renee died, and George thus be-
, came the owner of the fine es-
|, tate of Mount Vernon, which he
! owned and occupied until his
! death.
, When General Braddock came
, to this country In 1755 to make
. war on the French, Washington
. was chosen his principal aid-de-
, camp and accompanied him on
, the march against Fort Du-
! quesne, at the site of the pres
. ent city of Pittsburgh. After
} Braddock's defeat and death

: Mount Vernon. There he lived
. the life of a gentleman farmer,
) paying close attention to all the
! details of estate management.

Tucker was far above them all In re-
fnement and education. There was
an affair of the heart between him and
his preserver, and 1t would doubtless
have ended In the usual way between
lovers had not Tucker left a sweet
heart in the east Several months
passed after his being dragged from
the quicksand, and it was recognized
by all that Madge was in love with the
"swell ranchman,' as he was called,
when he suddenly departed for the
east.
Why he left, when he was to return,
whether or not be had Tilted Madge.
no one knew unless it was Madge, and
she would not tell. But what her
tongue refused to speak was evident
from her appearance and her bearing.
At first she gave vent to fits of assumed
gayety that were followed by spells OF
real depression. This was followed by
an uninterrupted languor. Everybody
knew by this time that all had not
gone well with her in the matter OF
fuckers attentions, and the feeling
against him was hostile.
The truth is that Tucker had been
caught in an ENHANCEMENT with
Madge Hardesty as he had been
caught In the quicksand. He had been
engulfed in each before he realized
that he was in danger. AS soon as he
came to such realization concerning
Madge he took himself off. He was
bound in honor to the girl in the east.
and, being an honorable man. he re-
turned to her.

sipid. Tucker had gone west feeling
that he had left a dream" When he
returned the dream had faded, and he
found a girl like other girls, no more.
no less attractive. There was no fla
vor in her. The result was that he
was a different man to her from what
he had been. She was not greatly dis
pleased at this. for she saw in him a
western manner that she considered
by no means an improvement OF his
former self. The result was that they
agreed to disagree.
One day a herder who had drifted
into a little town not a hundred miles
from Madge Hardesty's ranch report
ed that he had seen Tucker there.
Herders are not models of diplomacy
or ommon sense. A dozen or so o.
them banded themselves together for
a purpose. They rode to the town
where Tucker had been seen and fore,
ed him to go with them to Madge
Hardesty's ranch. The first Madge
knew of what they were doing was
being called out on the veranda of her
ranch house, where she saw Tucker a
prisoner among her hackers. The herder
spokesman, pointing to Tucker, said:
Here's the galoot that ran away.
If you want anything of him just let
US know what 1t Is"
Madge, Mortified, ignoring the herd
ers, declared to Tucker that she had
been ignorant Of this outrage and had
