Dr. Thorpe wanted to keep it lest Miss Astor attempt again to obtain full custody of Marilyn. The solution finally was solved by a secret disposition that will prevent tbe fears of either party coming true. "It is part of the agreement,’’ Anderson said, “that no one, save the litigants, their counsel, and the court ever will know what becomes of the diary. It will always remain a mystery." The agreement, drawn up by the lawyers and approved bv Douglas L Edmonds, presiding judge of the Los Angeles superior court, was understod to provide that Marilyn will be in her mother’s custody during the school months, and that during all vacations. with the exception of Christmas, 1 she will be in her father’s charge.

of 77, but the crop has withstood the drouth well and was still in a position to benefit greatly *rom rain. Cowpeas were reported as 54 per cent of normal as compared with 71 per cent last year. Tame hay condition was reported at 52 per cent of normal, alfalfa at 53 per cent, and clover at 51 per cent, with a total production of 1.898,000 tons of all tame nay forecast, as compared with 2.586,000 ton- last year. It was reported that few clover fields I have made much second growth and the second cutting of alfalfa was light, further cutting depending on j rains. Grain hay was reported as J yield .60 tons per acre Pasture condition was reported as 23 per cent of | normal, or 50 points below the ten year average, with most of the feed I that remained in pasture . as dry as 1 hay. As far as the fruit- are concerned, | the dry weather caused a considerable apple drop ami reduced the size of the fruit remaining on the trees. Apple production was estimated at 270.000 bushels, while peach prospects were for a nominal crop of 12.000 bushels. Generally, pears withstood the dry weather well ami a crop of 50.000 bushels was expected, but many grape vines were showing dry, burned leaves, and the heat and dry weather were preventing normal sizing of the fruit.

Fast Commanders To Attend Legion Meet MUNCIE, Ind., Aug. 13 -Col Alvin M. Owsley, United States minister to the Irish Free State, and Governor Paul V. McNutt, both past national commanders of the American Legion,
As a result of the continued dry. hot weather during July and the fifth successive month of deficient rainfall. the forecasted production of Indiana's corn crop on August 1 was only 111.900.000 bushels as compared with 160 474.000 bushels last year and the five year (1928-32) average of 155.968.000 bushels, according to the monthly crop report issued today by the department of agricultural statistics of the Purdue university agricultural experiment station in cooperation with the U. S. department of Agriculture. The report, issued as of August 1, revealed that corn condition was 46 per cent of normal, which is 29 points below the average from 1923 to 1932. and that much of the early corn in all sections of the state was beyond help. The condition of the later corn was reported as spotted due to local | rains, and in many localities the line j between good corn and poor corn was quite distinct. Wheat, however, with harvesting done under most favorable conditions. was yielding betti r than expected in all sections, wilh the quality and test quite generally above average. A yield of 17.5 bushels per acre and a production of 32,200,000 bushels was estimated, as compared with last year's product on of 29,109.000 bushels and the average from 1928 to 1932 of 26,458,000. Unfavorable growing weather was reflected in the sub-normal condition of other field crops. Thr oats yield was forecast at 24 bushels per acre and a production of 32.064,000 bushels, as compared with 38,610,000 bushels last year, wnile barley condition was reported at 59, two points below the month previous, and the yield forecast at 17 bushels per acre. Rye was threshing out better than expected, the estimated yield being 12 bushels per acre and a production of 1,188.000 bushels. Potatoes were hard hit, the condition being reported at 39 per cent of normal, 15 points below last month and 41 points below the ten year average. A state yield of 60 bushels per acre was estimated. Sweet potato condition dropped four points during the month, as compared with an average drop of two points, to 53 per cent of normal. Due mainly to late July rains over the principal growing sections, tobacco improved five points in condi- | tion during the month, but the stands generally were poor and the plants small for August. Soybeans were reported as 52 per cent of normal, as compared with 83 last year and the ten year average

“I WOULD WIN YOU
AN EMPIRE”
It was the year 1757. The Seven Years' War was in progress, fought on three continents. George II was on the British throne, a < antakerous little ruler of tho House of Hanover, and the great Pitt was his prime minister. Pitt favored a vigorous proseeution of the war in North America, an advance against General Montcalm and his Huron Indian allies, with the regiments under Colonel Munro, stationed at Albany, as the spearhead of the attack. Fie proposed the sending of
reinforcements.

I would win you an Empire!” His epigram decided the issue. With a few words he settled the .fate of a continent. Newcastle exploded with rage: “Your Majesty,” he fumed. “Pitt is mad as a hatter!” The King threw him a withering glance. “Mad in he? Well, I wish he’d bite some of my other ministers.” Tho jubilant Pitt rushed immediately with the news to the Duke of Marlborough, Britain's great military genius. “We’ve won, my Lord,” he exclaimed. “Good,” said the Duke. “The sloop of war, Andromeda, is standing by to take Major Heyward here to the Americas. He should he tnere in six weeks.” Marlborough turned to the Major. “Immediately on your arrival in New York proc cod at once to Colonel Munro. Also, you will remain there as second in command.” "Yes, my Lord.” “You may lind it difficult to adapt yourself to the new country.” "The British Army,” said Heyward proudly, “has always adapted a new country to England, sir.” 'The Duke’s eyes twinkled. “Maybe . . . My respects to Colonel Munro—and you won’t forget his v.vo charming daughters.” Heyward grinned. “No, ’sir.” In Albany, New York, frontier outpost of the British colony, Colonel Munro’s two charming (iuLghters, Alice and Cora, were being entertained Ly a wealthy Dutch patroon, in one of the most magnificent mansions in the whole tei ritory. Outside the houss were grouped
The clatter of horses’ hoofs resounded, and a four horse coach came dashing madly down the post-road, pulling to a halt in front of the gambling soldiers. A few Colonials looked up curiously. Major Heyward descended, followed by Jenkins, his orderly. The Major addressed himself sharply to one of the bored Colonials, who was puffing contentedly away at a pipe: "You there! Direct me to Colonel Munro!” Without taking his pipe from his mouth, the Colonial thumbed over his shoulder in the direction of the Patroon’s residence. Major Heyward wheeled about without a word, and set out for the house, hut his orderly was indignant ai this lack of respect. "Are you in the habit of addressing an officer with a pipe in your mouth?" Tho Colonial eyed Jenkins coolly, and slowly removed his pipe. “No-o-o-o,” he said thoughtfully, “sometime I chew snuff.” Jenkins turned away indignantly, anil began to remove the Major’s trunks from the carriage. There were a number of them, and they were heavy. The Colonial good-naturedly approached and lent a hand. “Thanks, matey,” said Jenkins, relenting. Tho Colonial cast a sober ey# over the baggage and seemed iimpressed. "The Major travel light, dont he?” he inquired. The irony was wasted on Jenkins. "Oh,” he said, “the Major don’t mind roughing it” (To be continued}
