Dry Weather Has Kept Down Ravages
 Of Insect Pests

Crops average very good conditions and the dry weather has kept down the ravages of insects. especially in cotton, according to the weekly crop summary report of the American Steel and Wire company. which says:
 "The weather in the past week has been more uniformly dry all over the country. There are no complaints this week of any localities being too wet Very little rain has fallen in the past week. Tn the great plains and grain belt of the country there is much complaint of dryness. This has been detrimental to corn and potatoes; it has been favorable to harvesting and threshing operations which are now well advanced. It also served to hold in check insect depredations in cot ton in the more southrly states.
 Considerable cotton is beginning to suffer for want of moisture due to generally higher temperatures. Par ticularly the latter part of the week over much of the country these higher temperatures have developed corn more rapidly, but in dry sections ears are not filling as well as they should Nevertheless the week has again been one of progress in all crops.
 Reports indicate that while wheat has not been . bumper crop, It never theless Ia a good average to better and that although the oats crop was much reduced in acreage, the total crop will be fair one.
 Little disease is reported among live stock. Production of milk has fallen off somewhat on account oi dryer pasturage. Fruit and truch crops are developing rapidly. and are good. The country at large is in g good average condition"

 Control Bill Unlikely
 It was said by well-lnformed mem : bers that if the coal industry showed improvement in its output as prom ised, 1t would b eimpossible to pass a government control bill. Such q measure under improved conditions might not even be attempted 1t was pointed out, especially in view of the Presidents suggestion that hasty action be not undertaken, at the same time it is known that Secretary Hoover Is very anxious that the gov ernment distribute and maintain fair prices for coal. at least during the approaching winter. That there might be legislation providing for an investigation of the coal business was regarded as probable, especially if the President should become in- sistent.
 The consensus of opinion among all save partisan republicans seemed to be that the President had come to Congress just as both strikes had 'petered" out with an admission that despite strenuous and long sustained effort the administration has been able to accomplish very little, If any thing. in she matter of composing in- dustrial differences.

 Harvey Napoleon Randall, da, warden at the city Jail, was born in 1870, when the famous Bonaparte's name was on the lips of almost every one. Seeing the first dawn of life in that year and believing that he. too, would make his way through the world, his parents named him Ma poleon.
 Warden Randall has figured in the wars history, also. even though he did not seek the saddle and heights of a field marshal or emperor. Many nays have featured his days toll at the city prison. and although he did not rank with 8 Ney of the army of the tri-colors, when he says nay to an erring creature brought before him for infraction of the city code. that nay Is the law. unless the neces- sary bond Is forthcoming.
