Building statistics do not show any
particular increase in the volume Of
building in nine OF the leading centers
of the district, but include an unusual
amount of small construction.
Ore shipments from the Head Of the
Lakes were slightly larger than dur
ing the previous months. Producers Of
iron ore report that they are operat-
ing from and to mouth with regard
to their coal supply and that the la
Dor supply is poor but improving. al
though much less efficient than for
merly. The ir~regularity in production
has been due to the unsatisfactory
that the equipment of the railroads
is entirely out of proportion to the ca
pacity Of lake boats and mines. 1t was
impossible to unload ore at eastern
lake ports with regularity owing to the
shortage of cars.

SAaAk of Minneapolis today issued the
report on current crop ana
sOunanees conditions:
past thirty days have brought
the usual reports Of injury to the
growing crops, and rumors of extern
satvo rust damage have been widely
circulated. A telegraphic survey or the
entire Ninth Federal Reserve district

Minnesota and South Dakota, chiefly
In areas of considerable recent rain

from black rust. Some damage from
this cause Is reported from western
Minnesota andtNorth Dakota, but none
from Montana. Black rust exists in the
fields over a stretch of territory X
tending from the Mississippi river

Dakota and to Jamestown in North
Dakota. Even In this territory 1t Is

Using. South Dakota crops indicate
large yields, and South Dakota, in
common with southern Minnesota. has
suffered damage on low lying lands
and in certain overlooked sections.
From the standpoint Of the production
of the district as a whole. this damage
does not appear to be important. since
it will be more than Offset by good
soils and on high ground where crops
have not been exposed to the bad ef-
fects Of successive rains upon low and
heavy soil.
Flax and corn are both exception
ally promising. In the region from
which the heaviest corn production
comes, the crop has made splendid
progress during the past ten days,
which has largely overcome the late
planting and early delays in develop
ment. North Dakota's corn prospects
are very good. and Montana, with a
8 per cent increase in corn acreage,
promises to harvest a large crop OF

of excellent forage. Hay and forage
crops are very promising owe the en-

And before the sun was up, Jack the
Rabbit came along with Young Rab-,
bit and all the others. They were
going to the river to find a place in
the briar patch where they would not
be disturbed. Jack the Wood Rat
came out of the Kings palace before
the King was up, carrying a small

does all this mean?" cried Mrs.
Robin.
You don't suppose I am going to
stand around all day without some
thing to eat. do you?" returned
Jack a. he started of with his corn.
) The birds all at onc began to chat
ter and laugh. It was q funny sight
to see Jack the Wood Rabbit walking
on his hind feet carrying an ear Of
DIT az large az himself. But on he
went, laugh or no laugh.
Suddenly there vas silence in the
creature creeping along on the
ground. In the dim twilight Of the
morning it was hard to distinguish
the creatures of, the Forest.
"Who are you?" cried one Of the
'feathered flock excitedly.

Used to be out all day in order to
make the day a success. Everyone had
been told-even to Red Ant and his
family. In fact, Chief Porky had not
slept since the moment he had told
the King a falsehood. He even went
about disturbing the rest Of the other
jewellers when they were asleep, in
order that he might make good his
word before the great day arrived.
Early in the morning. before Mr.
Sun was up, there was a great chatter
in the tree-tops. The feathered crea-
lures were all awake preparing for
the occasion. I do believe that Jerry
the Jay stayed awake half the night
in order to be the first one to an
nounce the day. At least Bobby Owl
said that he heard Jerry talk at diff
ferent times all night OF course
Bobby ought to know, for he stays
awake e night to guard the For

all day when the Great Day arrived.

ROBBED BY BANDITS, THEN SHOT, BULLET HAS
 JUST BEEN EXTRACTED

MORALES, Ariz., Feb., l9- On" of the most remarkable cases handled Uy iUeu surgeons m recent yeas IS tha1 of Pedro Jam,, & Suaa merchant a, Tuxpan, Nayarit, Mexico. A bullet that had been lodged in Jamit's back for several months was removed re- gently at hospital here.
 Jamit was held up and robbed of l,SOO by bandits. He was shot through the head, in the hip ana in the stomach. The first two bulle1i came out of their own accord, while the one that entered the stomach vas removed by the surgeons.
 After being wounded Jamit was re- moved to the mountains by the ban dits. During the sixteen days that he remained there he received no med ical treatment, his wound being washed with cold water by an dgeo Merican nurse. Through the aid oS Mexican woman the Syrian escaped and made his way to the border.
 Last year Jamit was robbed of $5, 900 by bandits.
