THE CORN CROP The 1927 corn crop will be the shortest since 1903, according to the July crop report issued by the department of agriculture. A total production of 2.274,000.000 bushels is expected, less by 371,000.000 bushels than the 1926 crop. Smaller acreage and poor growing condition combined to lesson the total crop, the report stated. The falling off in the number of acres is estimated at 2.000.000. Most of the decrease was in the central west, the south planting more than in previous years. The condition of com at present. it is asserted, is the lowest on record, 69.9. A year ago the figure was 77.9. In 1924, when the crop was short, condition was 72. The ten year average is 83.7. Reports on other grain crops were more favorable. With a carry over of 27.000,000 bushels of wheat, it is estimated that the total available supply of this grain in the United States will be 943,0(0.000 bushels, against 892.000.000 bushels in 1926. i O r —•• SCHIHH, FUNDS A check for $16,000.30 has been received by Leonard Huffer, county treasurer, from the office of the state superintendent of public instruction in the semiannual apportionment of state school funds as the share of Kosciusko county. The total is made up of taxes totaling $2,063,941.38, interest on the common school fund of $-*195.885.41, unclaimed 'fees of $17,479.96 and show licenses of sl,709.50. The law provides, however, than 30 per cent of the taxes must held for the town and township deficiency fund. The total amount of $2,478,716.28 is thus reduced by $619,182.41, leaving $1,859,533.87 for distribution.

The rules are rather simple. Know how to swim before daring deep water. Stay out while heated from exertion. Avoid chill water. Remember that a full stomach and swimming are not mates. ■ . -o - PUBLIC SALE Ray L. Ferman, who resides one mile north of North Webster, on .the Syracuse road, will havy a public sale on Tuesday.

ST A I E D Ein'S The Department of Commerce reports that 31 of the 48 states hail a surplus of revenues over expenditures in 1926. The survey else shows trial although 2“ states reduced indebtedness, the total indebtedness of all states was greater than in 1925, and is growing at a tremendous rate. This total state indebtedness now amounts to $11.46 per capita. This does not include county or municipal indebtedness. Nearly 5 per cent of all the states’ expenditures last year was applied to paying interest on bonds. It seems to be too easy to float bond issues and saddle the next generation with debt. Our state and municipal bonded debt now equals the total national debt, but with a higher* interest rate. .As an example of thrift Connecticut produces a balance sheet showing quick assets in excess of indebtedness. They believe in the pay-as-you-go plan. ELIJAH The second performance of the opera, “Elijah.” will be given at Winona Friday evening. July 22.

DEMAND FOR SILK HOSE GREATLY INCREASED The old adage of “the higher the fewer,” was not meant to .pply to skirts and stockings, says a large- hose company Research Bureau, in reviewing hosiery production for the past two dozen years. The great shrinkage in skirt lengths is undoubtedly responsible for the manifold increase in the silk stocking output. Way back in 1901. when women’s skirts miSSefi the floor by a scant three inches, stockings didn’t matter very much. Wool cotton and lisle hose predominated and only 504,780 pairs of silk ho£e were manufactured a year By 1914 , when skirts had shrunk ten inches from the floor and shoes were diminished to mere oxfords, stockings soon became something more than a receptacle for Santa Claus’ favors once a year. The demand for good lohking silk hose increased until the output was 28.295K800 pairs a year. Now, with almost half a yard between the hem line and terra firjnia. even knees are in a somewhat ticklish situation, and the stockings has becujne a most important item in the women’s wardrobe Not only must they be most fiart full fashioned and of a hue to match or contrast smartly with her frock and shoes, so that the silk stocking production has soared to the dizzy heights so 276(000,000 pairs a year, Q A classified ad will sell it.

There people are Compelled to look toward a future that seems a blank wall, blue and hopeless. The sum of money necessary to take care of these people until they can readjust themselves is stupendous, and it is feared that Red Cross resources will be exhausted before Congress can act.
