July 15.- Sleek chestnut sides a-glisten in the early morning sunlight. Epinard, our distinguished equine visitor, took a dainty workout today before a small but admiring audience. Pierre Wertheimer's good colt simply stepped gingerly along the smooth track, sniffed the unfamiliar American air. snorted a little nnd took things very, very easy under the watchful eye of Trainer Leigh. A short walk and a trot, and the blazed face was turned back toward ' the stables and the “distinguished visitors”' stall, where Epinard. like Papyrus, spent most of his time. I Epinard will continue this mild ex ' ercise until the colt is taken to Sara- 1 toga Friday. At the northern track,' Leigh ha s promised, the horse will he workeil out. tinder wraps, between races If the racing public wants to 1 see him.

FLOODS MENACE PEKIN, CHINA Several Villages Destroyed In Honan And Hunan Provinces BULLETIN (By Ray G. Marshall) (U. P. Staff Correspondent) Pekin, July 15. —Thousands of lives are reported lost and hundreds of villagea destroyed in the Honan, Hun tin. Anhui and Kiangsl provinces of China which have been devastated by floods and landslides brought on by prolonged rains. Tremendous financial losses have been incurred throughout the western part of the country. Pekin itself is practically isolated except for the Tien Tain railway line which is threatened with inundation. The entire business district of Kaigan, the westernmost rail head of China, was destroyed and the railroad nt this point buried under landslides and debris. Some lives have been lost there and the property loss runs into millioty< of dollars. AU foreigners are reported safe. Pekin is threatened by breaking dykes along the Mountain river to the eastward where soldiers are toiling day and night at constant repairs. Tien Tain is at present not flooded, but this is only being prevented by i (forts dT an army of coolies, working at the dykes. Engineers propose drastic measures to save the city, suggesting cutting ronte of the dykes and permitting the water to overflow into the lowrice lands between Tien Tain and Pt kin. The railroad lines running between Pekin and Hankow and between Pekin and Sai Van are both without Ira flic. The floods were worst in the four provinces—Honan. Hunan, Anhui and Kiangsi—each of which reported the wiping out of hundreds of villages and terrific loss of life. o No (’hie Obtained On Bandits Who Worked Here Although the police of all the neigh

This year’s crop in the United States Is 720.000,000 bushels as compared with 756.000.000 bushels last year. "The Canadian crop is only 250,000.000 as aga nst 474.000.000 in 1923. With stocks Dir under early estimates. the world will face an alarming shortage and prices are certain to go up.’’ Snow said the grain markets are now operating with confidence and are in a position to funnctlon nnturally. “Grain prices would have advanced earlier,’’ He said, “if the markets in this country had been in a position to function without the overhanging fear of government interference. , Defeat of the McNary Haugen bill in congress opened the way for immediate advances, based on the legitimate situation, which the grain trade understood all along, but in which its action had been hampered by its unwillingness to enter a market in which the possibility of government manipulation of any kind was present. “Our winter wheat crop is 40.000. 000 bushels short of last year and current advices indicate spring wheat is losing ground rapidly because of the drought. “Current and conservative information from Canada shows that the wheat crop in that country has been seriously damaged and in many sections almost destroyed by three months drought. The Canadian crop may not be half the size of last year. “With these conditions affecting future supplies in two great countries Special This Week! Phone appointment 'lOll.
