Late. reports confirm the early ones that
the winter wheat crop has beenlan almost
total failure The United States on July
last had 164000000 bushels Of wheat car
ried over from the crop of 1915 In 1916
this country produced 482,000,000 bushels
Of winter wheat and 158o00,000 bushels of
spring wheat, total supply of 804, 100000
bushels. This year there will be practi-
cally no wheat carried over and the gov
ernment's estimate upon the winter crop
forecasts yield of only 430,0OO,0OO On
this basis the spring wheat crop must be
214,000,000 bushels larger than last year
in order to give us wheat supply equal to
what we will export and consume in the
crop year now closing. The prospect IS not
reassuring. A minimum price offered to
farmers for wheat and other products IS
the only thing which will produce what the
country needs.

CITIZENS NOT FOR
THE FRANCHISE
Meet With Council and Express
Disapproval.

If the mayor and the city council
had any lingering doubts of the TEN.
per of the citizens of Butler and the
interested telephone patrons of the
county regarding the proposed new
franchise for the Butler Telephone
Co., they were speedily disspelled
Tuesday night when a representa-
tive gathering of citizens met with
the council and expressed in no un-
certain manner their unqualified dis
approval of granting the franchise as
presented.
The meeting opened with the
Mayor asking for the report of the
; scommittee appointed by the Com
mercial Club to consider the pro
posed franchise. The committee sub
mitted the following report:

time nor opportunity to investigate
telephone systems or rates in other
cities. Nor has the committee had
authority or opportunity to audit ac-
counts of the applicant for franc Use,
nor to determine values of present
equipment or reasonable rates for
service.
"The committee asked for copy
of the proposed franchise, but were
not permitted to see it. Therefore
the committee can not offer any
criticisms of the proposed franchise.
However, the committee recom-
mends that Should the City Council
decide to grant to this appli ant a
telephone franchise the following
provisions should be incorporated
therein:
"First. The term of the franchise
should be for period of not more
than ten years.
"Second. Both the present system
and service should be decidedly inn
proved ,and especially over main lines
leading out OF this city in the inter-
est of Butler business, such improve
ment to be made within limited
time designated by the Com H. wi h
provision for forfeiture of franchise
upon failure to make su:l1 improve

FAIRFAX INN BURNED.
Inmates of Building at Fairfax Had Just
Time to Get Out.

Fairfax, April lS.--Fire completely de-
stroyed the Fairfax inn, run by A. n
Grenier, yesterday morning at an early
hour. The fire was discovered in the
basement of the building at about 2:3G
O'Clock and had already gained such
Roadway that the inmates had only time
to take few articles of clothing in their
hands and get out.
This building was known for years as
the "Cady Block" and was one OF the
oldest buildings in town. About four
years ago, A. n Grenier rented the build
ing and remodeled it as barber shop
and ice cream parlor. Last fall he again
changed the lower floor and added Large
veranda and opened it as a hotel. the
repairs had not been completed. On the
lower floor was the office, dining room,
barber shop and kitchen, with sitting
room and sleeping rooms on the second
floor.
Mr. and Mrs. Grenier, with several
boarders and transients, were in the
building at the time of the fire. Nothing
was saved from the building but the
barber chair Among other things, Mr..
Grenier lost nearly $500 in money.
The next house, owned by Mrs. Ryan
and occupied by her son, Mark Ryan,
standing only about 10 feet away, was
saved by hard work. Their household
goods were all moved out as were the
goods of Mr.. Courtney and II. L. Wood
sell.
The burned building was insured for
1000, which will not nearly cover the
loss. Mr.. Grenier had a small insurance
on the household goods. The origin OF
the fire is not known, but it is supposed
to have started from the furnace,
