 -Bushel Level Third Time

Washington. Sept. 4 (UP)-Fur- ther shrinkage of corn and feed crops due to the drought conditions which extended throughout August appeared likely today to aggravate the plight of American farmers.

 The prospect for the report is that the corn crop will drop close to the 2.o0o.oOo,oOo -bushel level. Earlier indications of drought dam age were shown in the report of about month ago when the crop. forecast on July 1 to make. 2,S00,- 00O,e00 bushels, was estimated as of August 1 at only 2,200,0 0,000,000 bushels.
 The corn crop has fallen below 2,0O,000,000 bushels only twice since 1895.

that someone here burn the sea-

Elder Had except Books"
on Thrifty Worshiper

In many Scottish churches it still
is the custom to take up the collec.
ton by means of ladle which Is
poked along the seat. Lord Aberdeen
tells story OF man who had on
one occasion accidentally dropped a
half-crown ,sixty cents) instead of the
intended penny. into the receptacle.
This worried him very much-and the
following Sabbath when the ladle was
passed before him he pretended not
to see it, and put nothing in. The
officiating elder, who knew OF the
previous mishap, quickly sized up the
situation and did not further obtrude
the iadle. On the following Sabbath
the same thing occurred, and after a
while the elder practically ignored
that member of the congregation, but
he had kept note Of the date. On the
thirteenth Sunday after the half-crown
had been given, he held the ladle in
front of the contributor, and whis-
pered. "Your time is ur now, Geordie."
