Bonnets and Shoes.
Well try to be merry,
Though years may have flown
Since life was so very
Delightful in tone.
Well strive for the glamour
OF times that have fled,
And not WELD q hammer
On what may be sad.
When a jest We are brewing,
Or maybe a song.
Our best We are doing
Fen though 1t goes wrong.
Our minds may be thrilling
With threats of fray
Or the news Of a killing
That's not far away
Well dance at a party
To stifle our dread
Since feet that are hearty
May solace the head.

NEW YORK. July 26.-Before the year is over
Henry Ford will have $500 robot statesmen with en-
thusiastic, tireless voices stationed strategicay
throughout the United States to tell prospective Gus
toners about the virtues of his automobiles.
These same robots will give expert, intensive
training to the living statesmen on how to sell their
ware And they will give engineering instruction to
service and repair men in virtually every Ford serv-
ice station
These robots. who speak with the authenticity
of who know their business, not only have
human voices but whole set of stereopticon views
to illustrate every point they make. In fact, they
combine in instrument the stereopticon and

WHEAT IS NEAR
9O-CENT MARK
TRADING ACTIVE
Spectators Uncertain of
Extent of Rust Damage;
Gain Above 3 Cents.
By Uniied Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, July 26. = Wheat
traders still we're uncertain today
how extensive has been the black
rust damage to the American croo
and as a result prices doomed high
er on the mid-continent markets. At
the close on the Board of Trade
wheat was 3ls to 37s cents higher
with July at 897s.
Continued reports of damage to
the spring wheat by black rust and
premature ripening were climaxed
by a pessimistic estimate on the
possible yield by a noted crop on-
server. Booms of cents in the
Minneapolis July and September de-
liveries had considerable effect on
local sentiment.
The crop damage news was the
most alarming of the season. Public
interest in the market which has
been at very low ebb recently
was stimulated by the bullish char
acter of the news. Nat C. Murray
was the crop expert who gave buy
erS an incentive by predicting that
the spring wheat yield probably
would be less than 200 million BUSH
els. 1t was the first attempt to
express the condition of the North
western crop in terms of bushels.
Other routine news received little
attention from the trade.
Trading in markets other than the
wheat pit was almost featureless.
The price ranges in those mar
kets were extremely narrow as VAL
ues chung close to the previous close.
The cash markets in both corn and
oats were strong as reflection of
continued light offerings.
The provisions market was firm
although trade was relatively light.
An upturn in the Liverpool mar
ket and higher hog prices con-
tributed to the buying which swept
July and September lard to new sea-
sonal highs.

NEBRASKA CROP
OF WHEAT WILL
NET S20,OOO.OOO
Harvest Sharply Above Year
AGO; Corn Yield Also
Expanded.
United Press Financial Editor

LINCOLN, Neb., July 26.-The
corn-hog and wheat checks from
the Agricultural Adjustment Adj
ministration kept the Nebraska
farmers in tax and interest paying
money last year, but this summer
fine crops will supply the cash.
In state virtually burned to a
crisp last summer by 100-plus tenn
peratures, rainfall has been plenti-
full this year. Rivers are full, stock
water is ample and cattle and hogs
are sleek and fat. A land of diversi-
fed farming, Nebraska will harvest
good crops in winter and spring
wheat, corn, small grains, hays and
livestock.
A winter wheat harvest of about
100000 bushels is indicated. The
final tally probably will drop below
this figure, and grain is not the best,
but compared with 1934's yield of
100000 bushels it is a bountiful
return. Figured at II cents a bushel
more if the market continues to
boom-it means approximately $28,-
100000.
Crops Up Sharply
The spring wheat crop probably
will go about 6,26O,OOO bushels COM
pared with less than a million
bushels a year ago, while the corn
crop now is estimated at 1853, 628, 900
bushels, seven or eight times what
it was in 1884.
Hay crops are excellent and cat
tie browse contentediy in pastures
and on ranges. Herds, depleted by
the drouth, are in process Of re-
building. Hogs, always an important
item in corn growing state, will
swell the farm income. Today they
are bringing the best prices in five
years, and there are indications the
prices will hold up until fall.
The about face from last years
discouraging conditions has meant
more than the mere filling of the
farm pocketbook. Primarily an
agricultural state, the improved
fortunes of the farmer have been
reflected in the lives of virtually all
the people. Merchants, manu-
facturers and employees have re-
ceived share and the spirit of the
entire people is lifted.
Disastrous floods swept portion of
Nebraska last spring, but the people
in that area are going ahead, re-
covering with late, fast growing
crops where they can, and planning
for the future.
Implement Sales Gain
In the county seat towns of the
wheat and corn country implement
dealers feel the depression has been
broken. 1t has been five or six
years since farmers were able f1nan-
cially to purchase farm machinery
and now they are swapping the
dealers with their demands.
Herbert d. Rowson, manager of
the National Implement Co. here,
said his company is unable to fill
but fraction of the orders.
The demand runs from tractors,
combines and binders down to
smaller machinery and parts. At
Kearney 48 binders were sold in the
last two months. Previously only
few moved off the floor all year.
Farmers feel this is the start of
period of good return. The ground
is we'll soaked. In many areas to
depth of several feet. And this fact,
they say, presages good crops in
1886, with particularly fine start
for winter wheat.
