CROPS LOOK GOOD SAYS IU REPORT Conditions Better Than Last Year and Bumper Crop Predicted by Experts. WASHINGTON, June 22. Greatly Improved croP conditions throughout :he United States are reported in the Parmer Bulletin issued by department f agriculture. A bumper yield in practically all crops is predicted. "The composite condition of all irops on June 1st was about 2.2 per :ent above their ten year average condition on that date," says the Bulletin. "Last year the June 1 condition of all crops was 1.2 per cent below the ten year average, but prospects declined as the season advanced and the November final reports last year were 6.7 below the ten year average. Consequently present conditions are about 9.5 per cent better than the outturn of crops last year." On a basis of a ten year average, the June 1 condition of winter wheat is 14.7 per cent above the average; cotton is T.ti per cent below; hay is 1.5 per cent above; sugar beets 6.5 per cent above; barley 6 per cent above and rye 4.3 per cent above. A cool wet spring in the northern central states and a dry backward season in the south averaged crop conditions in that section. An unusual amount of moisture in the western states brought crops considerably above the average. LATE MARKET NEWS

WANTS SQUARE DEAL WASHINGTON, June 22 Discussing his policy toward business and his attitude on "psychological depression," President Wilson today declared that all he wants is a "square deal." The president said he has no quarrel with any person or corporation that desires legitimately to criticise his policies or the work of congress, but he contended that the systematic circulation of letters and telegrams protesting against anti-trust legislation is open to criticism. President Wilson believes that a few interests are creating an artificial campaign through liberal use of the mails and telegraph to oppose certain legislation. ALLINGE. Denmark, June 22.

BURGLAR ENTERS SCHOOL BUILDING Takes $1.50 From the High School Office-Two Young Men Suspected of Work. Some time Friday night or early Saturday morning a thief entered the high school building by opening the North B street office door with a skeleton key and searched for loot throughout the big building. All he took, however, was $1.50, which he found in a desk in the office. This announcement was made public today. No arrest has

been made. In certain sections of the city systematic efforts at housebreaking are being made. The suspects are two young men who work together. One of their schemes is to call at several houses during the day, ascertain who lives in them and the names of the next door neighbors. If caught in the act of attempting to enter a house -they calmly anounce that they are looking for the man w ho lives in an adjoining house, calling him by name. Saturday fright H. II. Engelbert on returning to his home on North Ninth street, saw a man in the shadow at the side of his house. He asked him what he was doing. '"I am looking for I Frank Cronin," was the reply. "He lives next door," Mr. Engelbert re- ! plied, and called to Crouin, who was ! on his front porch. j Instantly the thief fled, jumping over , the back fence. William Golden, a ! neighbor and former police officer, tiiiftMiifl Yt i rv lint ii'f t Vtrtiit cuiPQua IVt1 day two men called at the Engelbert home and were told who resided in the adpolning houses.
