INDIANA FRUIT CROP IS HALF NORMAL YIELD

' , Other Growing Crops in Good Condition, Report of Field Agent Shows. INDIANAPOLIS. June 10. Notwithstanding the unfavorable weather conditions during May, all growing crops, except fruit, show condition figures to be much better than the average at this time of the year and wheat and rye almost as good as a month ago, according to the crop report for Indiana, issued today by Geo. C. Bryant, field agent, Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture. The report also shows an extraordinary increase in the acreage of spring wheat, and a slight increase in the barley acreage, while a decrease is shown in the oats and clover acreage. Corn and truck planting, as well as other spring work, was considerably delayed by the wet period from May 1 to 25. The report follows:

Temperature for the month was considerably below normal with but little sunshine, while precipitation was frequent, and at times excessive, causing some flooding in small streams and the lower Wabash and White rivers. Corn and truck planting was considerably delayed as well a3 other farm work. Some damage has been done to the wheat crop by the rainy weather, and Hessian fly, chinch bugs. Joint worms and smut have been reported from several counties. Condition figures this month show 98 per cent, for the state and 94.9 per cent, for the United States. . Wheat Acreage Increase The spring wheat acreage is approximately five times greater in Indiana this year than last, being about 35,000 acres. The weather conditions were favorable, and a condition figure of 94 per cent, is shown for the state and 91.2 per cent, for the United States. The oats acreage in Indiana is somewhat less than ast year, but the condition, 92 per cent., will produce about the average crc-D. The condition for the United States is 93.2 per cent. Barley shows an increase in acreage in Indiana over last year and a condition of 93 per cent. This crop is growing in popularity as a stock feed in the north part of the state and to some extent will supplant corn in that section. The rye crop is headed out in all sections of the state, but the condition is not as good as last month, being 96 per cent, for June and 98 per cent, for May. The United States figure is 93.5. Apple Crop Small. The apple crop in the south part of I the state will be nearly a total failure, while in the central and northern paita a much better condition is shown; especially in late varieties. Tie total crop will be one-half the usual crop. Warm weather and sunshine during the last week of May made a wonderful imprwcui'jiit in all hay crops and pastures. Alfalfa is now being cut for the first time and ether clover will be ready by the 20th of the month. Weather conditions have prevented the planting of soy beans and cow peas to some extent, but there will be an increase iu the acreage of both coo's over last year. The commercial cabbage crop is practically all set with a small increase in the acreage orer last year. Oriie&s also show an increase in acreage over last year with the condition ac-out average for this time of the year. Peaches and pears are in a class with applet. The condition figure is veiy low. Biackberries and raspberries seem to be about the only fruit that escaped damage from the April freeze. Present indications are for a good crop. The melon crops had not all been set the first of the month, and the condition at that time was only fair. COMEDY IN NEW MURRAY BILL Comedy appears to be the prevailing feature of the new bill which opened yesterday at The Murray, and it is served in such a tasty style as to keep the audience in almost constant laughter, while several ladies at one period of the show became "historical," as a famous stage wit used to express it. McCormack and Wallace in their ventriloqual skit "At the Seaside," have about the cleverest act of this kind which has ever graced the local boards. Both are masters of the art, particularly good being Miss Wallace's doll number. A special stage setting is used "with several dummies who furnish a line of chatter which is highly amusing. This is a regular bigtime act, and goes direct from here to Keith's theatre, Cincinnati. Following this act come Kelso and Leighton, a man and woman singing and talking act which kept the house in an uproar. This act baffles description, and all we can say is if you do not see their cabaret scene, you have missed the laughing treat of tne season. Charles Edenberry opens the show with some very .clever feats of -hand balancing, while Bryant Washburn in his latest five reel comedy, "All Wrong." was immensely enjoyed. This bill playB today and Wednesday only. Wounded Soldiers Kept In Hospitals A Month (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, June 10.

Navy May Refuse To Aid 111155 LiUW 5 oeu rugiu WASHINGTON, June 10 Navy officials are interested In the announcement that Ruth Law, the aviatrix, intends to fly from Trepassey to the continent of Europe, but they are unaware of any planes yet built which can make a non-stop flight across the Atlantic. The construction department officials say if congress will authorize the appropriation an aeroplane can be built in a short time which will fly at immense speed direct from New York to Plymouth, but that the navy is more interested in perfecting sea planes of a type similar to those used by Lieutenant Commanders Read and towers, and which have a commercial value. As to Miss. Law's venture officials say that as the navy does not allow women to go up in airplanes It would hesitate before giving officials sanction to an adventure by even so capable and daring a flyer as Miss Laws. Secretary Daniels said that he could only discuss questions of aviation in which agents of the navy department were concerned.

The wearing of rings is a custom almost as old as the world itself. Their history started in Egypt. Ancient rulers conferred authority upon subordinates by giving them rings. To this day in Sumatra rings are used as passports. The form of a ring can never change, but its design will vary as much as the individualities of centuries or persons. , We have some very beautiful marriage rings, new in design, of green, white or -yellow gold or platinum set with tiny diamonds. Others, too, in old-fashioned simple forms. We have furnished rings for weddings for many vears. Now, as in the early days, quality is first here, and the charge no more than it ought to be.
