Coon Escapes
from Dallas Jail
But Fox Left

Dallas, Or, July 21.-Sheriff
John w. Orr of Polk county until
recently has been the proprietor OF
a more or less extensive menagerie
consisting of Fox who is serving
a term for violating the liquor law
and a Coon who is incarcerated for
the crime of larceny, having been
taxed thirty days. While piling
wood Coon concluded he had
boarded on the county long
enough and on the pretext of get
ting drink, left Fox still piling
wood in the basement of the court
house, climbed the steps to the
first flor and from there made his
escape. Sheriff Orr is carefully
whatching the country and has
notified authorities of the boys
escape, who will no doubt be APP
pretended shortly.
Some of the Modern Woodmen
Of America of Prune Center camp
located at Dallas, assisted a sick
member Sunday by turning out in
a body and assisting neighbors
and friends of the sick man in
putting his crop of hay into the
barn. After the hay had been
cared for the hay makers were in
yited into the house and there par
took of a most delicious lunch con-
sisting of cake and lemonade.
The funeral of James Willis, the
13 -year-old son of c. H. Willis,
whose home is on Levens street,
was held in the Methodist church
in Dallas, Monday at 10 a. m. Rev.
James, the pastor of the church,
officiated. Several boys about
James age were with him in the
cherry trees back of the tannery
the Sth day of July, and for some
unknown reason James fell to the
ground, resulting in compound
fracture of the fore arm. A physi-
sian was called and the broken
bone cared for and set and all
seemed to be going nicely until
the 18th, when tetanus appeared,
which resulted in the death at
about midnight of the 18th. The
remains were Inferred in the /. O
o. F. cemetery at Dallas.

Wheat
Acreage Less
Than Last Year

Washington, July 81. = Estl-
mates of the amount of wheat
sown in II countries for which
statistics are available show an
acreage of 151 million acres this
year against 155, 100000 last
year, according to a summary OF
foreign crop prospects made pub
lie by the department OF agr1
culture. The estimates were bas-
ed upon reports from Belgium,
Bulgaria, Poland, Roumania,
Czecho-Slovakia. Algerit, Moroc-
co, Spain, France, England, Italy,
Luxembourg. Norway, Tunis, Can
ada, India and the United States.
Comprehensive estimates Of the
areas for 1921 harvest in this
hemisphere are not available the
report said. Wheat in Canada
shows a condition of 102 against
SO at a corresponding date last
year, on oats, 100 against 80; bar
ley, SO against SO; rye, 101
against SO; mixed grains SO
against 1O1; hay ands clover, 81
against 95; alfalfa 1O1 against
"a and pasture 100 against "a.
Crops in France are suffering
from lack of rain.
Climatic conditions in Germany
have been favorable for growing
crops. The reserve of grain in that
country is sufficient to last until
the crops are harvested.
Showers and light rains have
improved conditions in the Unit
ed Kingdom but the quantity Of
rain was not nearly what was
needed. In the southern hemis-
phere crop conditions have been
reported favorable. Rains have
been reported in Australia and
prospects for the coming crops
continue favorable. Reports from
Argentina indicate the crops at
present badly in need of rain.

period. This is tremendous fact to
face, and leads to but one conclusion
that sooner or later it will become
necessary for the states and nation
to take some drast c step to check
the ever growing list each year Of
dead and injured victims of the gas
chariot. Already many states are be.
coming more and more strict as to the
persons who are allowed driving licen-

these lenses and rehectors must be
adjusted to throw their light at

forced because of the number Of ac-

There IS less occasion for such
legislation in Vermont than in the

be well il the aw in this respect were
frightened up here and enforced even
more strictly than it u.s. The state
department has been doing good work
with the idea of making Vermont
roads safe for travel and yet the
average automobiles fails to appre
cate. Rather, they look upon the on
GERS sent out by the department as
more or less OF nuisance and tolerate
them, with the idea in mind that an.
other crack has been taken at our
liberty Of action. This is absolutely

While the bailing OF accused per-

may safely be assumed guilty until
they are proved innocent.
