OUR CROPS BOUNTIFUL
ALTHO PRICES HIGH
Everything Shows An
Increase In Production.

October weather conditions result
ed in an increase of 30000,000 bush
els in the country's crop of corn. The
Department of Agriculture NoTem-
Der has placed the preliminary esti-
mate of production at 2.749.1eS 2 70
bushels. While the crop is smaller
in size than last years. its food value
is materially greater because the
quality this year is more than 10
points higher. With wheat crop of
about $4,000, 900 bushels, which is
some LOG, 100000 bushels more than
the average of the last five years, and

year and 1928 average. The results
in Southwest and the Far West are
not up to expectations. While the
absolute number of bushels is only 81
per cent that of last year, the food
value, because of the higher quality,
is much larger proportion. The
absolute production is only fraction
of I per cent below fiye-year aver

VapoRub should be used only in con

HOW TO USE Wck,s vAPoRuH
NJ AS A PREVENTIVE.

1t isesquestionable If there is any
thing which will prevent Spanish In
fluenza, except avoiding those persons
who are spreading the disease by
coughing, sneezing and splitting, and
by keeping up the bodily resistance
by plenty of good food and exercise
in the open air. The Public Health
Service recommends that the nasal
passages be coated with weak solu.
ton of Menthol in liquid petroleum
as a protective. & For this purpose
VapoRub is excellent. Just put a
small portion up each nostril from
time to time during the day and
snuff well back into the head.

Colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and thus render them a much
better breeding place for the germs.
At the first signs ofSa cold use Vapo-'

London, April 25.-Heavy fighting

Reuters correspondent at British
headquarters reports. The Germans
appear to have gained footing in the
Daquenne wood, west of Villers Bre-

tackled and drove them back to the
fringe of the woods. At several places
the British have retained their
grounds and general positions have
been improved. Both British and
German tanks participated in the
fighting at Villers Brettoneux. The
correspondent says British tanks got
among mass of Germans and did
great execution.
