STOCK AND CROP NOTES.

Rain, which appears to have been
general throughout the Yellowstone
valley and on surrounding bench
lands, fell July 20. In the immediate
vicinity of Billings the downpour was
the most pronounced since last
spring. Grazing lands and crops on
irrigated farms that have suffered
because of paucity of water in bitches
were greatly benefited.
The California rice crop is making
excellent progress and If present
prices maintain, will probably yield a
return of $20,000,000 for the year,
much the largest and most profitable
crop of rice ever harvested in the
state, comparing with the 14,000, 900
for 1918. The development of this
crop has been most rapid. The acre.
age, which in 1917 was $4,000, rose to
$4,000 in 1918 and this year will be
approximately 10000 acres.
The 1918 cotton crop, lint and seed,
was worth $2,O67, 100000 to the pro-
ducers. This is about three times the
value Of the cotton crop of 1914 and
is twice the value of the crop Of
1918, which had the highest value
Of record. The computation has
just been made, at the close of the
cotton year, by the United States de-
partment of agriculture, bureau of
crop estimates, based on average
monthly prices received by growers
and on monthly marketings.
Yakima valley cherry growers this
season received 100000 from Libby,
Mcneil & Libby for 800 tons of cher
ries which the firm canned, making
about 100000 cans, while 300 barrels
of Maraschinos were also processed.
R. c. Turvin. manager, says the quail
ity was exceptionally high, though but
half as much fruit was canned this
season as last. He anticipates start
ing the pear run Monday, and at the
peak of the season to employ 500
women and girls. The cannery has
10000 tons Of pears under contract,
for which it will pay growers $4,000
at $35 a ton.

strike of railway shop workers Sat
urday.
The strike is chiefly effective in the
middle west and southeast and in the
latter section alone $4,000 men had
laid down their tools. All over the
country and especially in the middle
west union locals we're voting on the
strike proposal. A big increase in

In the Chicago district alone more
than 100000 men are directly affect
ed, according to union officials, and
they claimed that all the men had
dropped their tools.
The local unions had disregarded
the advice of their International Of

general crop situation from last esti-

in many sections is we'll along to

generally are somewhat better than
was expected. New crop quotations
are $2,041z, $2.021s, $2.001h and
$1.971a for the four leading varieties,
with bulk prices 41ac less.
Flour-There is no change from
the between-seasons condition. New
wheat is not yet a factor and prices
are unchanged at SLIGO and $11.4O
for firsts and seconds and $11.sO for
hard wheat varieties.
Feed-There is practically no spot

children had brought the warriors In
from the forest and the river. Great
was the excitement and hot was the
rage Of the men when they learned
that the white devil had again entered
their homes, frightened their women
and stolen arrows and ornaments and
food.
Even their superstitious fear Of this
weird creature who hunted with q
huge bull ape was overcome in their
desire to wreak vengeance upon him
and rid themselves for good and all OF
the menace Of his presence in the
jungle.
And so it was that score Of the

The little party Of warriors was led
by Kovudoo. the chief, a middle aged
savage Of exceptional cunning and
bravery. It was he who first came
within sight Of the quarry which they
had followed for hours by the mys-
FERROUS methods Of their almost un-
canny powers Of observation, intuition
and even scent.
The white youth and the white maid
stood alone in the jungle when they
were discovered by Kovudoo's band.
Akut had been made king Of his ape
tribe, and Korak, to Akut's sorrow,
had left him to dwell with Meriem in
the jungle. One of Kovudoo's men
leaned close to the ear Of his chief.

escaped some one came and struck
down the sheik, stealing his daughter
away. If this is she the sheik will pay
you well for her return"
Korak's arm had gone around the
shoulders of Meriem. And then from
behind him broke hideous bedlam Of
savage war cries, and a score Of
shrieking blacks were upon them.

Korak lay bleeding and unconscious
when Akut reached his side. The great
ape tore the heavy spears from his
flesh, licked the wounds and then car
ried his friend to the lofty shelter that
Korak had constructed for Meriem.
Further than this the brute could do
nothing. Nature must accomplish the
rest unaided or Korak must die.
He did not die, however. For days
he lay helpless with fever, while Akut
and the apes hunted close by that they
might protect him from such birds and
beasts as might reach his lofty retreat.

Theft is becoming critical factor
in the automobile business according
to reports. An insurance journal,
compiling results for 1918, has stated
that of the eight classiflcations of
auto insurance, seven are more or less
profitable; only one, theft, being clear
ly improbable. It is stated the losses
in stolen cars aggregate $4,000 day
in this country, and Charles B. Dis
brow of the American Automobile,
writing in the National Underwater
recently, said: If present conditions
continue to grow worse, theft insur-
ance will have to be discontinued alto
gether."
But a company has been organized
in Detroit, Mich, which proposes lab
stracts of titles" for automobiles, and
here is their announcement:
A real solution of the motor car
theft problem and a reduction on
theft insurance rates Of at least 80
per cent is the promise of the Auto
mobile Abstract & Title Co., million
dollar Detroit and Chicago corporation
which proposes to issue abstracts Of
title for automobiles.
No more feasible plan has been ad-
vanced for the complete and absolute
elimination of the automobile thief. It
will be quite as impossible to steal
and sell motor car so protected as 1t
would be in the case of real estate.
In fact the automobile abstract finds
an exact parallel in the abstract is
sued for real estate-to prove owner
ship and guarantee title.
From the motorists point of view
the immediate and most important re-
suits will be a material reduction in
theft rates which, in many parts of
the country are now prohibitive.
In addition, the abstract will serve a
number of other worthy purposes such
as providing information of mort.
cages, liens, and similar legal claims
which may exist against car.
The automobile abstract is the big
gest thought in motor car protection
since the advent of the automobile It.
self. 1t Is the only logical, business
like manner in which five billion five
hundred and fifty millions of motor car
wealth can be adequately protected.

superstitlons About Salt

1t Is a curious fact that, from the
earliest times. many superstitions have
chung about the use Of salt. There Is
much evidence In Holy Writ for cere-
monial uses of 1t. The Mosaic law
commands that every oblation Of meat
offered shall be seasoned with salt, q
command that is given, with varia-
lions, In various books Of the Bible,
such as Leviticus 2:13 and Ezekiel
1874. In the old days salt was put
into child's mouth in baptism. and
In some countries to this day the Gus
tom is followed Of throwing a pinch Of
1t into holy water to ward OF the evil
spirit.
