Crop Conditions - A Chicago bank, which annually collects data on crop conditions, says: "Production of, important crops will exceed that of last season, with the exception of wheat; the aggregate production will be in excess of all domestic demands. The average yield per acre is larger than for some years ; the quality is excellent, and the shortage in the acreage has been more than overcome. In the past two months there has been a complete reversal of the dismal forebodings that attended the plantings under climatic restrictions; ideal weather conditions have

turned the prospect of a partial failure into bountiful harvests, and promise of still better

return in the crops that come to harvest later in the season.

uespite tne snortage 01 is.ouuu acres in me

food and feed crops, the prospect is for a larger

total, yield of the harvest fields than last season. , There will be a decline in the total wheat yield, the area lost being too great to overcome through the increased yield. The feed stuffs,

oats and corn, will be abundant compared with

last season. The former is still in the making,

while oats are safely made and largely harvested

l he miracle-working weather completely re

versed the poor outlook at the start of the grow

mg season, and under the stimulation 01 cool

weather the plants fruited better than in the sea

sons when warm springs were succeeded by

burning June and July days. The season has been somewhat identical to that prevailing in

western Europe, where yields are higher than in

this country. The total volume of food and feed,

including potatoes, which are measured by the bushel, indicated by our reports for this season, is 6,037,000,000, which is 235,000,000 bushels more than the final harvest last season. On an acreage eight per cent less, four per cent more product will be secured. The average yield is 12 per cent better, and equal to the high averages of the past. "Corn is the nation's prime crop the largest in size of the cereals, the greatest in value. Its

uses vary, but chiefly the food of the farm animals, the rounding-out feed of the cattle, the sustaining feed of the swine, t Its conversion

into meat products enlarges the return of the

crop to the farmer. From this important crop come the fifty million hogs and the twenty mil

lion cattle and calves that are annually slaugh

tered. The prices of meats have an intimate re

lation with the price of corn, and the size of the

crop makes the price relative to the average cost of living. This year's crop promises to be a large

one ; the acreage is 1,500,000 more than the pre

vious year, but below the average. The mid

summer condition of the cornfields was well

above the average, and our reports indicate crop, if no damage ensues, at 3,055,000,000 bush

els. This is one of the best indications in years,

and compares with a crop of 2,917,000,000 bush

els last year, which was probably an over-estimate, on account of the lost acreage in the

Southwest from excessive rains. "Business men are not depressed by conditions and they are optimistic as to the future

The first five hundred reports ground through the tabulating mill showed no marked departure from the feeling of confidence and optimism and all the reports subsequently tabulated confirmed

the view of the first thousand.

"A great majority of the reporting concerns say that orders for goods are large and the prices are good except in a few lines, notably textiles. A strong demand for all sorts of commodities is

thus definitely assured. Only one-fourth of the reporting concerns state that there is any accumulation of goods and they have found no particular tendency on the part of the consumer to curtail purchases. "With a strong demand for all sorts of commodities, business men find reason , for confidence in the near future."

JUST LOOKING ONTAKING NO PART There are millions of tasks yet unbegun for the simple lack of folks to do them. Much of the trouble inside the heart of the world lies In the fact that too many are just looking on taking no part. Too many people want the sweet without the touch of the sweat. Comfort, ease, wealth, power, fame, wide acclaim these things to the one who merely stands on the side-lines and looks on, portray a picture or uneven reward. But the one who enters the game and plays his part however humble it may be has no complaint to offer. The worker always scores. It may Dot always be a "home run," but it is sure to be a score honestly and finely won. There is so much to do and so little time in which to do it. So can't you see how hollow your life if you just look on taking no part?

There is a just share for every one who works and takes his part without slacking and with wholesome zest. Rewards are only relative. The homely rag doll gives more joy to the little child than could all the wealth of Rockefeller. There is a limit to the appreciation of every man and woman. But we get only by giving in toil and service. Take your dwn part. Never mind about the part of someone else. For at the end of the day's last work, the Big Paymaster is going to ask only one question: "Did you take part, or did you just look cn?"

Dinner Stories

One of the Texan friends of Representative Cooper met him the other day. "You smoke, don't you?" he asked. "Sometimes," said Cooper. "Take this," reparked the Texan. "This is something like a cigar." Cooper took the weed, lighted it, and puffed three or four times. "Yes," he .asserted, "this is something like a cigar. What is it?" After a little tea-party the children were playing some game quietly in a corner of the room. The lady of the house was curious to i know what was keeping them so interested, so she called her own little girl toward her. "What game are you playing, Mollie?" she asked. ' "Weddings, mother," replied the

Attacks League "Betrayal

Of U. S. Monroe Doctrine fBy Associated Press) SHADE GAP, Pa., Aug. 9 Attacking Article 21 of the league of nations covenant as a betrayal rather than a

safeguard of the Monroe Doctrine, Henry P. Fletcher, former ambassador to Mexico, in an address at a reunion Saturday of former residents of Huntingdon county, declared that the Democratic party through its endorsement of the league covenant was seeking to set up "a vain, visionary and vanishing scheme of world regulation and interference based on an arbitrary disposition of the lands and

peoples of the earth. "The treaty of Versailles, as signed by the president, submitted to the senate and endorsed by the Democratic national convention," the former ambassador asserted, "absolutely and completely destroys the great chart and charter of peace and freedom, which we venerate under the name of the Monroe Doctrine."
