Federal Reserve Bank Esti-
mates 1921 Crop in Ninth
District at Above Figure
FIGURES ARE COLORED
SAYS PRESS REPORT
The Crop Figure Is Too Large,
According to State Dept.
of Agriculture !

Minneapolis, Mimi, August a.
A crop of SOO,000.0O0 bushels of all
grains worth at the September fu-
lures price of the Minneapolis market
$500. 100000 is estimated for the
ninth reserve district by the Mime
apolis Federal Reserve bank in
statement issued here. The total
owed the federal reserve bank by
member banks in the district, ac-
cording to the last weekly statement,
is $S2,0O0,O00, and because of the
huge crop income it was said at the
bank that liquidation generally in
the district must be large.
"A grain production survey en-
bracing detailed reports OF approx
mately 1000 banks representing all
the producing counties OF import
ance in the ninth federal reserve dist
riot indicates larger production Of
corn and spring wheat than a year
rye and flax, with a reduced yield Of
oats, barley and potatoes," the re-
port says.
"This survey indicates somewhat
larger yields than the department Of
agriculture estimates Of Aug. l, due
possibly to the fact that threshing
has shown a somewhat better produce
ton in some areas than prior esti-
mates indicated. The production in

blighty. was talking to the other
Sergeant when l felt sharp,
singing sensation at my right ell
bow. | looked down and saw that
my sleeve was covered with blood.
One of the men quickly tore open
my first aid kit and cut my bloody
sleeve off and bandaged my arm
but that did not stop the flow of
blood. | then took my puttee
string and used it for a tourinquet
which certainly saved me a great
deal of blood. Another man was
shot through the shoulder and af-
ter being bandaged, we both start
ed back, helping each other trying
to find first aid station. AS we
mounted a little hill | heard a
whizz by my head, and then some
thing warm and sticky started to
run down my neck. | put my hand
up to feel and brought it away
wet. | saw it was blood. My ear
had been nicked by a sniper. One
inch closer and that would have
been my finish.
After that we were a bit more
careful about exposing ourselves
on the sky line. We met some
Algerians who directed us to first
aid station located in a little ravine
Here | met my Battalion Adjutant
and reported to him. He then told
me that there were only eight men
left out Of the original company
While we were talking an aero
plane dropped signals asking for
our position. We signalled back
by using cloth panels. In a little
while we were under terrific shell
fire. 1t had been a Fritz airman
flying in a captured Allied plane
that we had signalled to. | decided
not to wait but went on to the
Regimental Infrmary where | re.
ceived another shot, but this time
of anti-lock-jaw serum.
1t certainly was due to the won
derful, untiring efforts of the mer
in these first aid and Regimenta
Infirmaries that thousands of lives
were saved. Here as the men were
! treated, they were classed as am
bulance or walking cases, anC
about thirty others and myself
who could walk, were lined up ant
then marched off to an evacuatins
station at Soulley. We had no

Caesar Rodney Statue

Plans for the erection Of the
handsome equestrian statue of
Caesar Rodney, in Rodney Square,
are proceeding satisfactorily. The
monument is to cost about 100000,
and the association has secured all
but $4,000 Of that sum. The Leg
islature is being asked to appropri-
ate $4,000. The State as a body
should be represented financially
in the program. Even with that
figure there would still be $4,000
to be raised, but this amount could
be readily secured.
The fact that the General Assem-
bly, has been solicited for sum
has created, in some quarters, an
erroneous impression that the pro-
ject has been intcrTered with or
held up owing to a lack of funds.
The true situation is that the work
is going on regularly and the
association has money on hand to
settle for everything except the
final payments. This is the reason
why the additional money will be
needed.
Between the conception of the
idea for a statue of any kind and
it's completion there is always a
long interval. The designing and
the building and all that for a
monument so pretentious as the
Rodney memorial will require
time. 1t cannot be done in a jiffy
The association has so far had suf
ticient money to meet expenses sc
far incurred. The association pays
as it goes, but it wants to be sure
that when money additional to that
, now in hand is necessary it viii
have it. The committee of the
association has been very active il
forwarding the project and viii
continue to be.
Caesar Rodney's part in voting
for the Declaration of !ndepen
dence should be remembered by
every Delawarean. At the session
Of Congress in Philadelphia afte1

near for a vote, Congress sitting a

wire and entered an open field. We
could see our men on our right
moving slowly forward. | thought
the best thing we could do was to
catch UP and stick with them. This
was more easily planned than
done. A Fritz observation balloon
caught sight of us as we emerged
from the ravine and in a few
minutes we were down on our faces
wishing we had some influence
back in Washington to get a trans
fer to the Q. NJ. G. To us it seemed
as if the whole Germany army had
picked on us. We quickly crawled
away from there as we figured
shell fire wasn't good for our
health. We then ran into a
Fremchman who was attached to
our outfit. He offered to guide us
to our battalion for we were hope
lessly lost. He led us into another
ravine where we saw a narrow.
gagged railroad used by Fritz tC
haul supplies up to what had beer
his first line. We followed this
track for about a half hour and
came out at an open field dotted
with shell holes. / was about tc
yell at some men coming towards
us when the Frog motioned fol
every one to drop to the ground
He then pointed out the men | haC
noticed about two hundred yards
from us. | took another glance
and ducked out Of sight. They
were German machine gunners
They saw us and set up their guns
and opened fire. We returned the
fire and had the satisfaction OF
putting one Of the three gums ou'
of action. After an hour of snip
ing, we decided to rush them. W.
divided into two parties with tn,
idea of attacking from both fanks
My party went back down th'
ravine a little way and then
crawled out toward Mr.. Jerry
We circled around and came W
ON them from their rear.
Hot work for a minute and i
was all over! We had caught then
by surprise. They had expected
us from the front and did not hav
chance to turn their guns on u
but they did use their revolvers
however. While we were lookin!
over our captured guns someon
yelled, Look what s coming"

approaching towards us. TIL
Frenchman wanted us to fall back
But the boys refused. Instead the.
turned the guns around to face tn

5 Little Sammy's Corner

Dear Pal:
Continuing the story of my ex-
perience in the Argonne: After
leaving F Co. IS Sergeant as COM
Portable as | could by placing an
abandoned pack under his head
and shoulders, | called all the boys
who were scattered in the immedi
ate vicinity together. | had about
two squads reformed and was adj
vancing ia extended order when
we noticed a peculiar smell in the
air. Some Of the fellows ventured
guess that it was burnt powder.
But | had my doubts and told
them to put their gas masks on.
We had not gone over two hun
dred yards before we heard a yell
on our left, "Gas!" That decided
those who were tardy. We GER
tainly were an ugly looking crew.
What with those grotesque masks
and cleaning bayonets. Above us
we could see our planes flying in
every direction, searching out
machine gun nests and artillery
camoulfage under trees, bushes
and in gullies and ravines. We
came to an exceptionally deep
ravine and were looking for path
to cross when we saw Frenchman
on our right motion to us to follow
He had discovered a little foot
bridge and started to cross. That
was all he did, just start. For nc
sooner had he touched the planks
than bridge, Frenchman and thai
part Of the ravine was blown sky
high. Fritz had planted a min,
there with the hope of catching
some unwary doughboy. | hate tc
think of what would have happen

bridge first.
