Taking crop conditions as a
whole, great improvement was made
during the week and the outlook is
much better than usual at this sea-
son. The most pressing thing just
now of the corn crop is the thin
ming. Past experience has taught
us that thinning to wide distance
was wise, even though wet year
might come. More often corn suf-
fers from drouth some times dur
ing the season, and % inches dis
lance on the best of land, and 40
inches distance in the drill, places
one on the safe side.

Robert McClain has very fine
prospect for a club acre of corn
planted in six-food rows with beans
in the drill and a row of peas be-
tween the corn. On his acre he has
2O9O stalks, his corn being SO inches
in the drill, and the corn twO-ear
variety. If six barrels of corn can
be made from an acre, together with
a sure crop of beans and peas, why
have the rows closer? We will
watch Robert and see just what he
makes. Terrell Dildy has a nicely
worked acre of corn on a bottom
that is very promising.

French races always bring forth
all that is new and unusual in the
fashion world. 1t is at the summer
races that one sees the first hints
of the fall and winter fashions.
Here is a smart model seen at the
Grand Prix and it is only one
among a score of attractive frocks.
This one was so brilliant, however,
that others paled and faded away
in comparison.
1t is fashioned of flame and Bel
gian blue brocade woven into a
box effect. The only trimming in
evidence is buttons at the side fas-
tening and on the sleeves and a
soft crush girdle of the fame color.
The skirt is made scant and short
with double apron tunic. There
is tiny stand-up collar and then
just to be contrary when Paris says
everything must be short sleeyed
this frock steps out boldly with
very long and very tight ones.
Black slippers with black lace hose
and a smart navy blue velvet hat,
a turban shape, complete the outfit.

A Tribute to Con-
gresham MOndell
House Of Representatives Indebted 10
Wyoming for One of Its Most
Successful Leaders.

An article concerning prominent men
in a recent issue of Hearst's Maya
zine has the following to say of f. w.
Mondell, Wyoming's veteran congress-
man:
'The republican leader of the house
is everything that is A~merican--in
his history, in his record. in his mental
vigor, and i'll his catholic patriotism
which does not prevent Frank w.
Mondell from being an elegant and
accomplished gentleman without fear
and without reproach. He has won
golden opinions among his peers.
\ early orphanage. ii dependent
boyhoOd, he was literally educated in
the school of hard knocks. n cow
boy, II stockherder. a trapper. n fur
hunter. Il railroad employee, Il lumber
man, II miner. he comes as near as
any member of congress to being n
self made man. He was born on the
day Abraham Lincoln was elected
president of the United States and
his youth was nurtured among the
traditions of rail splitting and self.
made men. He has risen from the
bottom TO the top by sheer force of in
dustry. purpose and character.
while Frank Wheeler Mondell
was mayor of the little town of New
castle. which was crown in "a night.
he was elected to the state senate of
Wyoming without his consent. He
refused to accept. except upon the
condition that he was not to make II
campaign. as he was no speaker. 1t
is IL striking commentary upon the
evolution of American politics that
Frank Mondell is now one of the read
lest and ablest speakers in the house
of representatives. He made 200
speeches upon the Underwood tariff
bill alone. He speaks freely. in clear
polished sentences with ringing vitality
and is one of the most eloquent and
convincing men in the republican
ranks. He has been elected II times
TO congress from his district. His in
dividuality. clearness. sound views,
high integrity. and perfect temper have
impressed themselves upon his col
leagues. until he was chosen leader
over the heads of some of the ablest
and most famous members of his
party.
THE house is indebted to the com
monwealth of Wyoming for one of the
-.aat l.ts.atl, .A,l I.u tlx
republican congress has ever known
