The average acreage of wheat yield
for Wayne county is 20 bushels, stat
ed County Agent Kline Friday. The
yield is considered very good.
The oats yield will not be large,
as the normal acreage here is not
very great.
The corn crop around Richmond,
Hagerstown, Greensboro and Fountain
City is in very good condition. They
have had more rain than in the north
western portion Of the county. in
these places the rain fell three or
four inches deep. Near Milton the
rain scarcely touched the crops and
they are in very bad condition. The
heat and the need Of rain has dam
aged them.
The dry weather has damaged the
corn in the northwestern portion of
the county. The corn is badly fired
at the bottom, said Kline. The crop
is good with the exception of that sec
ton.
A campaign will be started through
the various organizations to increase
for the year 1919. The orders were

councils Of defense and the county
agent will cooperate with that organi-
zation to get the cooperation Of other
organizations and with their aid, it
is thought that this increase can
easily be go in Wayne county.
Conditions were unfavorable last
year for sowing wheat because the
corn had been blown over and it was
difficult to drive through it. The corn
is standing fine this year and unless
it should be blown down there is no
doubt but that there will be big in
crease in the wheat sown in this
county.
Threshers are urged to turn in their
wheat reports to the county agent
They were due the first of the month
anu are only two-thirds in.
Corn, tomatoes and potatos have all
been greatly helped by the rains Of

COAL PRODUCTION
MANAGERS NAMED

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The fuel
administration announced today the
appointment of % production mana.
gers, one for each of the coal produc.
ing districts Of the country.
Each manager will have charge of
the campaign for increased production
in his district and to him the produc-
ton committees being formed at the
majority of the bituminous mines will
report. Each production committee
will consist of six members, three rep
resenting the mine managements and
three representing the workers
In cases where a mine is failing to
produce the maximum tonnage, it will
be up to the production committee
to ascertain the cause and investigate
improvement. Each week the commit
tee will post list of the names of the
men who have been absent, who have
worked short hours or who have load
ed less than fair amount of coal and
the reasons will be set forth as to
whether in each particular case the
blame lies with the company or with
the workers.

BOY IS DROWNED
IN MORTON LAKE

James Bases, colored, 13 years old
1918 Sheridan street, was drowned in
Morton lake Friday noon. The
drowning is the first to occur in the
lake this summer.
According to DR.. S. E. Bond. county
coroner, the boy was probably seized
with cramps while in the water
Heart failure might also have caused
the boy to collapse while swimming,
the coroner said
The boy was swimming below the
spillway Of the lake, with compan.
ion, Carl Doty. Bases dived from the
springing board and after he had been
swimming for about fifteen feet be-
gan calling for help. He went down
the third time before help could be OBJ
tanned. 1t was 35 minutes before the
body was recovered The pulmo-
meter was brought from the police
station, but the boy was dead before
the machine arrived
The boys father, John Bases, is en-
ployed at the Malleable Iron works.

$1.35 RATE FOR
ARTIFICIAL GAS
MAY BE FIXED
Artificial Gas as Substitute for
Natural Gas in Winter Of

An offer to furnish the city will
artificial gas as substitute for natur
al gas during the winter months ant
! continue to serve natural gas during
the summer months was made by rep
resentatives of the gas company to the
board of public works at conference
held Thursday. Nimrod Johnson
manager of the company, A. c. How
ard. gas engineer with the United Gas
and Electric corporation, and r. e
Chew, rate statistician, were present
The board and City Attorney Rob
bins stated that they do not feel quail
fled to accent any proposition until
they are certain that it is fair and
to Richmond Friday or Saturday and
will go over the figures submitted to
the city by the gas company.
The public service commission has
said that If the city and the gas com
pany can agree upon rates to the sat
isfaction of both it will accept them
and establish them providing they are
fair and just This will make it un.
necessary to undergo the expense OF
rate hearing.
According to the order of the pub.
lie service commission issued Septem.
Der 9, 1916, the company was permit
ted to earn certain net revenue on
the valuation of its property as placed
by the commission.
At the conference Thursday the
company offered to furnish the city
natural gas and artificial gas at any
rate proposed by the city, providing
that the combined revenue from the
two gasses resulting from these rates
should equal the net revenue as pre-
viously ordered by the commission.
If the present rates for natural gas
are to be retained it would be neces-
sary to charge $1.60 for artificial gas.
After a discussion it was found by
making flat rate of 20 cents for 1000
cubic feet of natural gas the price for
artificial gas could be reduced to
$135.
William N. Johnson. president of
the board of public works said Friday
I'VE will not stand for rate of $16O
for artificial gas. We would burn
electricity first
The city is expected to favor the re-
vision of the natural gas rate with
$1.35 for artificial gas.

flags are to be seen on the Baltic.
One is the Russian republican stand

A much more gorgeous affair is the

quartered by double-edged golden
cross. The outer edge OF the cross is
white and the inner blue.

Crops in County Are Little

20 percent of the tomatoes of this

cause the school children have planted
such bountiful supplies, having been
given packages of seeds last spring
through the schools, by Mrs. William

"The potato crop will propably be
a little short" said Murphy, but it
will be pretty good one at that"

PARIS, Aug. 16, l p. m.-
Roye is held in a vice-like grip
by the French. Stubborn resist
ance by the Germans is being
crushed. The French are slowly
encircling the town.
The French advance at Villers-
Les-Roye makes the fall of Roye
inevitable, it is believed by mill
tary men. Possession of the
town by French troops would
make necessary a rectification
of the German lines and retreat
to the Nesle-Noyon would be
probable.
The Germans are clinging des-
perately to range of hills east
of Ribecourt. They are also
stubbornly defending the Las
signy-Oise canal, the loss of
which would entail the evacua-
tion of Noyon.

cupied by the American troops.
ALLIES ADVANCE ON RoYE.
Allied pressure has been effectively
renewed against the German line in
the region Of Roye, on the Picardy
battle front. The enemy is clinging
determinedly to this town as a bull
wark of the positions he took up after
being driven back from the lAmiens re-
gion. Both the French and the Brit
ish are pushing closer. however, and
making his prolonged tenancy of the
place doubtful.
London last night reported the Brit
ish lines advanced northwest of Roye,
in the neighborhood Of Damery and
while today Paris reports a
movement on the part OF the
French, west and southwest of Roye,
on front of about 2R miles.
Roye is fast becoming the virtual
apex of salient which will soon in
vite crushing allied stroke if the
Franco British pressure can be effect

Only Local Actions.
Fighting in Picardy is confined to
local actions. There are no signs that
the heavier combats of earlier in the
week are about to be resumed, al
though the artillery on both sides
continues active.
