L FOR BIG CROPS Agricultural Conditions Are Such as to Give Confidence. THE FRUIT CROP IS LIGHT. GROWERS NOT AT ALL ENCOURAGED BY THE OUTLOOK ACCORDING TO REPORTS OF THE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Judging from reports made at the meeting of the Wayne County Horticultural society yesterday the farmers of this county are faring much better than the fruit growers. Agricultural crops this year are the best for some time, while horticultural crops are the only fear. The reports referred to were made by Caleb King, George Dougan, William Elleman, Nathan Garwood, Thomas Elleman and others. The reports made to the society yesterday are, summarized, as follows: Corn Is most promising, making a rapId growth and near tasseling in many fields. Itk has excellent color. Most fields are clear of weeds, and as soon es the harvests are gathered and Btored the "lay-by" plowing will be given the fields. Wheat is being rapidly threshed and the yield Is from 18 to 30 bushels of fair grain to the acre. Wheat grown on fallow ground yielded the best. Straw is excellent this year, as it has not been Boiled by rains which usually occur this time of year. One of the very few agricultural crops which has not come up to the usual standard is oats. A rusted condition of the oat straw, due to fungoid, Is said to bo accoun s for the low rating of oats. The atraw will not be of much value for feeding purposes while the yield in grain will not reach the usual standard. As the result of the excellent weather this summer, both clover and timothy hay are in splendid condition. Barns are being rapidly filled and many stocks are being left outside. No scarcity of hay will be experienced the ensuing year and the prices will be low. The reports made on the condition of the fruit crops were not so encouraging. Fruit growers will have but few apples to place on the market. The blorsoming was complete but the cold r which followed greatly injurcc crop. Appies are falling rapidly those which remain on the trees are knotty and of a small Blze. As to peaches, pears and plums there appears to be a difference In conditions due to locality. However, there will probably be a fair supply of this cla6S of fruit marketed at the proper time. Many pear, plum and peach trees are well laden but curcullo is bad among the plums. The next meeting of the society will be held at Glen Miller park on August 8. At this meeting Dr. Lee Hoover will deliver an address on the milk, situation in this county. STORIES ON PEOPLE Clever Anecdotes Told by Clever Persons. ONE OF MARK TWAIN'S BEST Mark Twain, in the course of the recent Pilgrims' dinner, in New York talked of his pet aversion. Christian Science. "Christian Science," he said, "reminds me of the apple cure for drunkeness. In Hannibal, In my boyhood, the apple cure was very highly es teemed.

The moment you take Kodol your Digestion Starts

Kodol is liquid, like the digestive juices. It acts the moment you take it. The pain ends, irritation stops, the food is completely digested. That is not true of other digesters, for they rely largely on pepsin. Pepsin digests albumen perfectly, but that is all it can do. Starch, fats and phosphates form most of your food. Pepsin can't digest those. And it can't do bowel digestion. tYet half of digestion is done by the bowel fluids. It requires many ingredients to make a perfect digester, and Kodol contains them all. It digests any food any mixture cf foods completely. It does all that the stomach idoes all that the bowels do. You can see it do this in a test tube, under proper conditions. You can feel what it does in the stomach. There can be no doubt about it.

"Ain't It cured me eight APPROPRIATE FLOWER. "The late Senator Proctor," said a Burlington man, "hated these International marriages where a titled foreigner marries an American girl with four or five millions. "I heard him say once in Burlington that he'd believe in the sincerity of such marriages when he saw an EngS Hsh Duke or an Italian Prince marryi ins? an American girl who was poor. "Then he smiled grimly and ended " 'If I were a millionaire and were giving my daughter and a dozen mil lions to some young court or earl. I'd have the church decorated only with marigolds.' " TRAVELING IN PORTUGAL. Antonio Scarfoglio, of the Italian car in the New York-Paris race, said of American roads at a reception in Salt Lake City: "Your American roads, with their ruts and holes, their mud and quick sands, are the most dangerous in the world, I can only compare them to the railways of Portugal. A friend of mine boarding a train at Lisbon last month, was astonished to see the carriages all adorned with flags and flowers and a band playing in the rear. " 'Why is so much honor being paid to this train?' my friends asked the station master. " 'In the strictest confidence,' re plied the station master, 'I don't mind telling you that you are traveling on a train in which a carriage has been en gaged for our young King. But as a matter of fact. His Majesty will not take his departure till two hours later. Thus the anarchist plot against him may not take effect on this train, you understand.' " 7 NAME 27TH New York Family's Vocabulary Runs Short. FATHER IS 64 YEARS OLD. New York, July 11. "What will he name It?" That is the question that bothers Amltyville, L. I., where the stork has left the twenty-seventh cher ub in the household of Oscar Darling, a civil engineer, who lives on the Merrick road in the south of the village. Though the little Darling a boy was born last Monday, no name has yet been conferred on it and It was reported there yesterday that a council of the family and friends was in prospect to discuss the weighty problem of finding a name that hadn't been used already. Aunt Jemima Smith, Cousin Sue and a lot of other Amity folk are Just almost dying in their anxiety to suggest names to Popper Darling. He is, by common consent of the villagers, a little testy on the subject, so none of the neighbors has had the nerve to mention names in connection with the new arrival. To a reporter who congratulated him last night. Darling bristled up at once. "I do not think it's any of the public's business how many children I have," he said. "My family dislike this notoriety. As for the story that a family conference is to be held to select a name that Is a lie. I wish the papers would say nothing about me." Darling has been twice married. By his first wife, Hannah Smith, of Flushing, who married him In 1864 and died in 1884. he had fifteen children, of whom ten are living. In 1886 Darling married Katharine P. Hamilton, of Flushing, by whom he has had twelve children. Darling is sixty-four years old, a fine looking man with white hair and mustache and much dignity of manner. Darling travels to and from New York and Amltyville every day on business. Ther Is no medicine so cafe and at the same time so pleasant to take as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, the positive cure for all diseases arising from stomach trouble. The price is very reasonable 50c and 11. The Point of the Sword. In the use of the sword In cavalry fighting the point is considered the more deadly, the cut the more disabling. Napoleon, was a great believer in the point. At the battle of Wo gram he shouted to his cuirassiers as they passed him at th trot: "No sabering! Give point! Give point And he kept plunging his sword Into the air to emphasize his orders. The result is complete relief complete rest to the stomach. Medicine can't cure dyspepsia. A weak stomach is like a lame ankle. Nature alone can cure it But a cure is impossible while undigested food irritates the stomach lining. It is impossible so long as the stomach is taxed. Don't diet don't starve yourself; for nourishment will do more than medicine. But let Kodol, for, a little time, do all the stomach's work. You will be surprised to see how quickly the stomach then recovers. Our Guarantee On the first dollar bottle of Kodol your druggist gives a signed guarantee. If it fails to do all we claim, your druggist returns y6ur money. You take no risk whatever. This $1.00 bottle contains 2'$ times as much as the 50c bottle. Made by E. C DeWitt & Co., Chicago.

It will require an army of 70,KK men and women to take the thirteenth census of the United States in 1010. The task of enumerating the im,(M),wn) persons under the protection of the United States flag in Alaska, Porto Rico, and the United States proper, will be one of enormous proportions. It will be the most gigantic work of enumer ation ever undertaken in this or any other country. Not merely count and compilation of the population Is made by the census, but an accurate ac counting of the agricultural, industrial and social status of the citizens of the country is included. Director S. N. D. North of the census bureau is now preparing for the thirteenth census He has been planning it for a year or more. It will cost about fH.K).000. Additional cost can be guessed

by the following illustration: The lamigration commission created by Congress sought an accurate analysis of the family growth of fore ign-born cit izens as compared with Americans. The census bureau put istaff of clerks at work on Rhode Island. A careful calculation of the number of children born to women of various countries as well as the United States was made. It took four days. The cost In clerk hire to the government was $1,250. Figuring Rhode Island, the smallest state in the union, as a basis, the total cost of getting this information for the commission !f the work 13 continued, will be more than Moo.rmo.

It is supposed that the Philippine government will take its next census when it feeds the need of such information. ' Right to Left Writing." Those exceptional modern folk who write with equal ease in the ordinary left to right manner and in "Jabberwocky" fashion are unconsciously reproducing the delilcrate method of the very ancient Greeks. Originally the Greeks wrote from right to left, according to the precedent set by the Phoenicians, but afterward, until about COO B. C. when they adopted the modern way. they wrote their lines alternately from right to left and from left to right, so that the eye did not hare to travel, as ours do, from the end of one line to the beginning of the next. This cigzag writing. In which the laws of Solon were written, was called "Boastrophedon." meaning that It turned as the ox did at the end of a furrow In plowing. These early Greeks also often began at the bottom and wrote each succeeding line above the last. London Chronicle. tf dTriktfTBlt.0,
