The Crop Report.

August was fine weather for maturing
crops; corn, except in Vermont, made
rapid improvement and is now fair to
good; grain yields generally promise high
| averages, with proba bly, nearly a million
bushels of wheat in New England
| Potatoes declined somewhat in August
in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Connecticut; and the U. S. from 10 9 per
cent to a. 5 per cent of normal crop per
acre. Pastures, while fair need more
rain Garden crops are generally good
and are maturing early. Dry beans
promise rather good yields-a cause for
encouragement.
Fruit orchards were damaged last win
! ter rather generally and seriously, and
! the crop of winter apples is light of fair
! quality. Fall apples are more plentiful.
| Pears and cranberrieS are about 90 per
cent of a crop.
Crop Forecasts and Conditions.
Potatoes: Me-, 100000 bushels
against 20, 800, 900 in 1917; N H., $780,
900 against 2,247,000; Vt, 2,964, 900
against 3, 600, 900; Mass, 1884, 900 against
1870, 900; R. l., $40 900 against CTS, 0O0
Conn, 2,716,000 against 3, 100, 900.
Onions in the Connecticut valley are
nearly full crop per acre and of good
quality.
Wheat, 1918 crop only; Me-, 1892
bushels; N. H., 96,600; VT, $50, 600;
Mass, 81. 400; R. 2,i60; Conn, $751;

ecticut made remarkable growth in the
last month before harvest and made
nearly full yield per acre, being har-
vested in excellent condition.

As per cent; VT, 80 per cent Mass, 90
per cent; R. l., 81 per cent; Conn, As per
cent; United States, 81 3 per cent.
Leaving out the poor fruit crops this
has been a very favorable season in New
England, and good crop yields are the re-
suit, The patriotic efforts of the far
mers and the good weather have brought
good results for which we should be
grateful.
Further encouragement is given in the
substantial increases in numbers of hogs
for fattening, compared with 1917, as fol-
lows: Me, 1l3 per cent; N. H., lis per
cent; VT, 90 per cent; Mass, l15 per
cent; r, l., IFS per cent; Conn, 115 per
cent; United States, 1903. per cent.
Changes in the methods of selling milk
are given as the explanation of the de-
crease in Vermont
Wool production in 1918 compared with
1917 is as follows: Me-, 100 per cent; N.
H., 1O5 per cent; VT, III per cent; Mass,

101 per cent; United States, 1860 per
cent.

Catarrhal Deafness Came! Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrhal
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining
of the. Eustachian Tube. When this tube
is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire
ly closed, Deafness is the result. Unless
the Inflammation can be reduced and this
tube restored to It's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Catarrhal Deafness that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Medicine.

Our House"
William c. Denlnrsst. ia ,.esiie's Weekly
The little dag on our house
Is float ting all the day
Beside the great big Stars and Stripes;
You can almost hear it say
To all the folks in our street,
AS the breezes make it dance:
'Look up and see my own blue star
We've cot boy in France!'
The little flag on our house,
1t floats sometimes at night,
And you can see it way up there
When the street lamp shines just
right,
And sometimes, long toward morn
ing,
When the cop comes by, perchance
1t sienals with its one blue star;
'sWe've cot a boy in France!
The little fac on our house
Will wave, and wave, and wave
Until our boy comes home again,
Or finds in France his grave.
Nay tho its blue star turns to gold,
Because of Wars grim chance,
1t still shall wave to say: THANK God,
We've got a boy in France!"

 The great national assembly of Montenegro called in Podgoritza aft CT having considered the political and economic interests of the people of Montenegro. has resolved today. De- cember 1:
 King Nicholas, of the family Petro- -Niegush, to be deposed from the throne of Montenegro.

RED GROSS PLAN NOW IS OUTLINED
cRv Review Leased wlrel

WASHINGTON, Dec. A. Future plans of the American Red Cross to be devoted tO peace-time relief work not only in the United States but throughout the world were outlined in a statement tonight by Henry P. Dav- ison, chairman of the war council.
 Mir. DavisOn, speaking to the 3S54 chapters and 22,00O,OO0 members of the mercy organization. said it is be- lieved there need be no further cam paigns for funds Instead the annual Christmas roll call for members will constitute the foundation of the Red Cross
 T am therefore able to speak with knowledge and assurance in saying that the beneficient work of the American Red Cross is to go forward on great scale-nOt alone, as here tofore. for purposes of relief in war, but as an agency of peace and per manent human service" said Mir Day isOn's statement.
 Wherever our soldiers and sailors may be, the Red Cross will stay with them until they are demobilized. Moth ing which we may do will be left un- done either for the men in the war zone. for those returning, for those in the camps and hospitals. or for their families at home to whom will continue to be devoted the ministra- tions of the Red Cross home service. In this latter effort 50,000 trained Red Cross workers are engaged at 2500 different places throughout the land.
 For the completion of its war work and for the institution of it's peace program, the Red Cross is fortunately in a healtis financial condition. What the American Red Cross needs is not so much contributions of money as the continued devotions and loyalty of it's members. Annual membership in- wolves the payment of only one dollar. The moneys thus received not only defray all the administrative expenses of the organization but leave a sub stantial balance. which, together with all funds subscribed directly for relief are devoted solely to that purpose.
 The roll call of the nation is thus to be called at Christmas time, that through enrolment in their Red Cross the American people may send mes sage to our soldiers still overseas and to thespeoples of the world that we are not merely content with seeing our arms united with our allies in vic tory, but that our abiding purpose is that the love. the sympathy and the of all America shall be to the permanent service of mankind"

SOCIETY ISLANDS
 APPEAL FOR AID
cBy Review Leased wire)

SAN FRANCISCO, Dee. IA wire less appeal for medical aid to check a serious epidemic of influenza in the Society islands. situated in the South Pacific ocean nearly 5000 miles from San Francisco, was received her tonight by the Associated Press from it's correspondent at Papeete, capital of Tahiti, the principal island of the group. The message said the entire populations or Tahiti and Moorea, the next largest island, had been stricken by malignant form of influenza and that numerous deaths had resulted.
 The natives of the dozen or more other islands of the group also are believed to be similarly affected, the message added
 The supply of necessary medicines is nearly exhausted, the message said. The governor of the islands. which are under French control, appeals officially to the outside world for help, and requests that fast steam CT with doctors and medical supplies be sent immediately to Papeete from the nearest port.
 Honolulu. 200O miles distant, is the nearest populous port from which aid could come.

 The complaint also raises the con stitutionality of the congressional act authorizing the seizure, and alleges that the seizure deprives that com pany of its property without due pro cess of law; that it was not neces- sary for national security and defense. and that the cables were taken with out just compensation.
 "COmpensation will be left" said the bill. ito the arbitrary caprice and prejudiced mind of the defendant, who is interested personally and officially in giving an unfair and unreasonably low, insufficient and inadequate com pensation, because the less he gives the complainant the more he keeps for the government to its profit at the complainants expense. and to the personal renown of the defendant"
 It was also contended that the de fendant proposes and intends to so unite, consolidate and merge the complainant business, good will, staff, employees, plants and with that of the said Western Union Telegraph company that the separate identity, business and good will of the complainant will will disappear. so that the complain ant may be forced or persuaded to abandon competition hereafter, and acquiesce in the defendant plan for government ownership of the same. or an amalgamation of all classes in the Atlantic ocean.
 It is charged that MT. Burleson has conferred with Theodore N. Vail, pres ident of the American Telephone and Telegraph company to work out plan for universal service" and that this is a violation of the sherman antitrust act.
