Morning in Constantinople
By v. Sackville-West.

BY v. Sackvile-West.
She has an early morning of her own,
blending of the mist and sea and sun
Into an undistnguishable one,
And Saint Sophia, from her lordly throne
Rises above that opalescent cloud
A shadowy dome and soaring minaret
Visible though the base be hidden yet
Beneath the yelling wreath Of milky shroud,
As some dark Turkish beauty haughtily
Chances above the yashmak's snowy fold.
Beyond Stambouls long stretch, bar of gold
Falls from the sun across the distant sea.

Clarence Bunch was over from Camp Pike Sunday.
 Herman Glover of Camp Greenleaf, is home on five day furlough visit to his parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Glover.
 The soldier boys who come to Brinkley evidently like our eli mate or hospitality for there is always a crowd of them here visiting from Camp Pike or Eberts Field.
 A Home Guard Organization in dear old Brinkley would prove beneficial in more ways than one, for those who will have to answer the calls to come ,and when you stop to think, these calls must continue for if the four million in France are called l it means more than twice as many as have already been call led.

COL. PATTERSON
TAKES OWN LIFE
Commander of Forts at Portsmouth,
N. H., Shot Himself with Au-
tomato Revolver.

PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. %
Col. George I. Patterson, U. S. A., COM
handing officer of the forts in Ports
mouth harbor, committed suicide YES
terday afternoon, by shooting himself
with an automatic service revolver, in
his headquarters at Fort Constitution.
An orderly and guard who rushed in
to his rooms on hearing the report of
the weapon found him stretched out on
the floor dead. His right hand was
grasping the revolver, one cartridge in
which, had been discharged.
Army officers advance the theory
that Col. Patterson took his life while
his mind was temporarily influenced
by nervous breakdown, signs of which
had been noticed for the last two or
three days
Col. Patterson came here about a
year ago to take command of the har
Dor forts. He had worked incessantly,
often assuming such extra duties as
the drilling of recruits and other tasks,
because of the shortage of officers. He
was born in Nebraska on March %,
1872, and had spent practically his en-
tire life in the army.
He graduated from West Point with
honors in June, 1896.

CORN CONDITION
WELL MAINTAINED
Damage in the Southwest Largely Off
set in Other Sections-Acre Aver
age Runs High.

NEW YORK, Aug, 22.-The govern
ment's weekly weather report empha-
sized the points which have been in
iluential the past week in advancing
corn prices. pointing to deterioration
IN Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, parts of
Kansas and the uplands of Kansas and
Missouri. In most other sections the
crop condition is maintained. The
Price Current indicated damage in the
Southwest, but rains elsewhere have
been beneficial. The crop is maturing
rapidly, and is being gathered in some
portions of the South and is ready to
cut further North. In Indiana it is
claimed that the crop will be safe three
weeks ahead of the average frost date.
The quality of the crop is bound to be
| much superior to last year; last year
the percentage of merchantable corn
was the lowest ever known, with the
total only 60.3 per cent against a pre-
vlous five year average of S2.S per cent
Compared with the normal, the quality
of the corn was 700,000,000 bushels
short, and if this was deducted from
the estimated crop it would indicate
total in food and feed value of
barely 2,500,000,000 bushels. Even
the worst estimates this year do
not indicate a crop much below
2,SoO,000,000 bushels, SO that even
on the face the crop Will be
several hundred million bushels superior
to last year in food and feed value.
Results on the threshing of the win
ter wheat crop are certainly encourage
ing. The Illinois state report points to
! a wheat crop outturn of about 10000
600 bushels or 100000 bushels in
| excess of the government estimate for
that state. Yields per acre are high
| In Missouri, Illinois and Iowa The
state estimate in Kansas is 1O,O00.oO0
| bushels over the government estimate.
| Threshing in the Northwest has pro-
| crossed to a point where it is evident
| from the returns that the actual Yields
| are running in excess of the estimated
results from the condition, and the
Price Current yesterday estimated a
total in excess of the government fig
ures of 1872 100000 bushels for spring
wheat.
Reports from the Canadian North
west are becoming more encouraging: a
record result is being talked of in
MANITOBA, with a possible crop in that
province of 100000 bushels of wheat
and 145,000,000 bushels of all grain;
results in Saskatchewan and Alberta
are considerably better than feared a
| short time ago. Harvesting is progress
ing rapidly in the southern sections of
| the Canadian Northwest
Yields of oats in Illinois and Iowa
are reported from 40 to go bushels per
acre, with % to 40 bushels in Nebras-
| ka.
One of the most encouraging things
about the crop. results so far is that
the actual threshing reports make a
better showing than the estimates
based on the conditions, Indicating that
the crops have filed better than was
anticipated in practically all sections
of the country,

Our Greatest Food conservcr.

In Mother IS Magazine for August
DR.. Goudss pays a remarkable tribute
to gelatine.
American homes has almost doubled in
year, and is now million pounds
a month.
million pounds of gelatine makes
about 200 million servings Used as des-
sert it requires little sugar. Each mil
hon pounds of gelatine, used to displace
other sorts of desserts, will save about
ten million pounds of sugar and some
two and one-half million pounds of
flour
To sweeten fresh fruit or to make
preserved fruit requires from three to
four times as much sugar as to make
an equal quantity of gelatine dessert.
Other forms of desserts require both
sugar and flour
But gelatine is also great saver of
left5overs. 1t makes cooked and fresh
vegetables of all kinds into appetizing
salads. 1t makes meat scraps into jellied
meat loaves which everybody likes. All
things considered, gelatine must be re-
garded as our greatest food conserver.
A leading geIatine expert now sup
plies this product ready prepared in a
most delightful form. The new type is
called Jiffy-Jell. 1t comes ready sweet
ened, so one adds only boiling water to
| it.
The unique feature lies in the fiavors
They are made from fresh, ripe fruit
then highly concentrated, then sealed il
glass vials-a bottle i'll each package
The result is desserts with wealth OF
fruit favors, made quickly and al
trifing cost. There are also lime-fruit
and mint favors for salads and meat
loaves.

enough SO that every woman in this vii
lage who desires to give few hours each
