BUMPER CROPS.

1t is cheering to know that not
Withstanding the strikes and other
disturbances which prevail through
out the country, we are to be blessed
with bountiful crops this year. In
noting the fact, The Springfield
(Mass.) Republican of Aug. II says:
"The 3,OO0,OOO,O0O bushel corn
crop forecast by the government
crop report may not prove to be
record breaker, but any corn crop
that crosses the 3,00O,00O,0O0 mark
is in the bumper class and should be
welcomed by the country. Corn is
essentially feed crop; it is the food
of cattle. swine and poultry in the
cold months. Hence a big corn crop
should cheaper the cost of living. Ii
there are any railroads in operation
to move this years harvest, the peo-
pie Will pIOllI ny NdtulC UouhIy =
The crop report does not enlarge
previous estimate of the wheat har-
vest substantially; winter wheat was
made before the exceptional mois-
ture of the season was felt in agri-
culture. But hay will beat all rec
ords and that, too will help to keep
down food prices somewhat. One of
the most welcome reports is that the
white potato crop will be the largest
ever raised in America, with no eX-
ception. AS for apples there will be
twice as many as last year"
With a cessation of labor disputes,
there is no good reason why the
country should not soon be back to
normal conditions. 1t is altogether
too bad that the conflict between Ia
Dor and capital should deprive mill
ions of people the full enjoyment of
blessings which a kind providence
bestows upon us.

The Park and Lake.

The Soldiers Memorial Park and
Lake in this city are well patronized
and prove a great attraction. Daily

Mayor Brown a Regular Sher-
lock Holmes.

Mayor Brown has shown his abll-
ity as a sleuth while working ON
cases of misdemeanors at the Sol
diers Memorial Park (such as the
breaking of traffic rules) but the fol-
lowing paragraph which we reprint
from the Galesburg Evening Mail
testifies that he is second Sherlock
Holmes.
George Shrek, a local automobile
dealer, left Thursday afternoon for
Lacrosse, Wis, to bring DR.. E. G.
Trainings Marmon roadster, recently
stolen here, back to the city. Re-
ports received here state that the
authorities at Lacrosse have posses
sion of the machine which was abon-
doned there by two men believed to
be yeggs who blew a safe in a bank
at Dubuque, Ia, and escaped with
$500 shortly after they stole the
auto in Galesburg. Police Captain
John Nelson was today in receipt of
a letter from Allen D. Brown, Mayor
of Mineral Point, in which the latter
enclosed newspaper clipping from
Wisconsin daily telling of the re-
covery of the car. Mayor Brown
who was formerly a resident of
Galesburg, and whose brother, DR.. L.
F. Brown, lives here at present,
stated in the letter that he read an
account of the theft of Dr. Framing S
car in the Galesburg Evening Mail,
and later connected up the case.

Banks The Only Safe Place.

Richland Democrat: The greatest
arguments in favor of banks ever
propounded to startled public are
made in the terrible crimes commit
ed in Crawford and Sauk counties
within few weeks of each other.
Two lives beaten out and two per-
sons brutaliy injured, and all be-
cause of hoardings hidden about two
homes. Thieves and thugs stop at
nothing these days and the bank is
the only safe place in which to depos-
it the rainy day savings or accumu-
lations of life's toll and investments.

Wisconsin Will Have Member on
Canning Crop Committee.

At the meeting of the Executive
Committee of the Wisconsin Farm
Bureau Federation held at Fond du
Lac. Walter Whiting was nominated
as our member on the Interstate
Canning Crop Committee which is
being formed.
Since Wisconsin produces practl-
cally half of all the peas used for
canning purposes it seems only prop
er that Wisconsin should have a
member on this committee who un-
derstands farmers problems in the
production and canning of their pea
crop.

 If the hair is too dry or too oily, there is usually a great deal of dandruff on the scalp. In any case the hair will be neither pretty nor healthy. Now the only way to cure dandruff Is to use a great deal of oil on the scalp and to rub 1t in thoroughly.
 There is a certain rubbing exercise which is well recommended for wrinkles in the face. If the skin Is dry coat it with a little cold cream bsfere yeu bsgln this rubbing. If It Is very oily use tal- cum powder. This is simply to make the rubbing easier. Hold the hands over the face with the palms of the hand. that Is the cushionv part of the hand against the skin.

A LAUNDRY CHEST.

Many hausewiEes depend upon the services of a visiting washerWoEnan, and for such g laundry chest is handy. It is just an ordinary cupboard tfiat hangs on the sculleFy wall, and is fitted with shelves. It contains a variety of mate Fials that may be required according to the articles in the days wash or that may be necessary to deal with stains, grease, etc. Here is the list:
 Borax is an excellent water seftener, and may be used with woeieR and dyed articles for which the action of ordinary soda would be too strong. It should be used in the proportion of one tablespoon to a gallon of water. That is not Its only use, for it is splendid for stiHening and glossing linen.
 Methyiated spirits are necessary When silken articles are being washed. A tablespoonful put into the rinsing water restores the sheen.
 Ammonia is invaluable for laundry purposes. It not only softens water but 1t is a marvellous agent for loosening dirt and getting rid of grease without a lot of rubbing. A little is suficIeRt, but fabrics
 Salts of lemon and salts of sorrel are useful for removing stains. but re1nenl- per they are deadly poisons, and mark them accordingly.
 TAFpentine is good for remsying ger tain stains, and like aHrEnonia, should be kept ip a tightly corked bottle. Ghle- ride of lime removes obstinate stains when all other remedies fail
 Gum arabic is necessary for stiffenins advisable.

A DANGEROUS MOVE.

Many are the cases which have been brought to light during the efforts to re- duce the activity of criminals in New York city to show that there is a need for legislation that would end the great amount of leniency that has been showed to them in varieus ways in the past. Such matters have come before the ses- sion of the state legislature just ended and 1t is believed that certain beneficial changes have been made.
 But along with the good there are apt to be the edtrimental. especially where legislations is pushed through in great hurry during the final hours of the session, and this is now disclosed through the discovery made by the gov ernor in studying the bills presented to him for his signature. Among the batch of bills there has been encountered one which would permit 8 person convicted of murder and sent to prison for a per iod of 20 years being released on parole after serving for twelve months ef that time
 While 1t is regarded as a mistake to think of giving such encouragement as would come through the abolition of cap ital punishment, 1t can be appreciated that an even greater harm would be done by permitting others who take life even though under different cireum; stances, to have their freedom after serving but short time. From thq great amount of crime it would appear that none too much protection was be ing afforded the public under the exist ing circumstances and certainly there would be far less if any such Tnodifiea tion was to be made.
 The idea of lending encouragement tf the idea in the minds of those criminal ly inclined that they can expect sligh rather than severe punishment isn't go ing to cause them to hesitate over thu penalty. and while the number willinl to take their chances under the preyal laws is toe large it doesn't call f9 any great stretch of the imagination tt see how much larger that number Weul' be through such 2 modification as tn proposed law carries. Considered on t merits 1t is doubtful if any legislatuF would approve it, and under the eireuH1 stances the duty of the governor of NeT York seems to be plain.
