CROPS ALL GOOD
Western Canada Farmers Jubi
lant Over Prospects.
Harvest In Southwestern Manitoba
Expected to Come Close to
Dumper-Yield of 1915.
Those who hnve friends In Western
Canada will bo anxious to learn of
the conditions there, and will ho in
terested In knowing that generally tho
crop prospect Is very favorable. Cut
ting and harvesting hnve become gen
cral, und It Is anticipated that tho re
sults which will uppear when thrash
ing Is completed will bo highly satis
factory. With the widely varying weather
conditions thnt have prevailed In tho
different sections of the pralrlo prov
inces It would be Impossible to fore
cast with nny degree of accurncy as to
how the crop Is made. The Manitoba
crop has held Its own, and tho outlook
for the province as a whole la decided
ly good.
With the exception of nn nrca south
and west of Ilrnndon, grain crops In
Manitoba continue to give promises
of a good harvest, tho best in fact for
n number of seasons, reports tho Cana
dian National Railways for the week
ended July 22. Recent rains and favor
able temperatures have improved con
ditions wonderfully.
Southwestern Manitoba will reap a
harvest which will nearly equnl tho
bumper harvest of 1915. Farmers In
the district are very optimistic. Tho
r crop Is exceptionally good; many
fields will yield upwards of 30 bushels
per acre. The fields are remarkably
free of weeds, and the grasshopper
menace, which has Iecn evident1 in tho
(southwestern portion of the provlnco
for the past three years, has been
Mmost entirely obliterated. No dam
age has been done to the wheat crop
by rust, and the oats crop will aver
age more than 00 bushels to the acre.
In Saskatchewan there are large
areas where the crops arc excellent.
In places where the prospects some
few weeks ago wore not encouraging,
material change for the better Is ap
parent. In these places unusually dry
weather during a portion of the grow
ing season kept the crops back, but
what was most remarkable was the
effect that the spring moisture had.
While light In some places, this mois
ture kept sufficient strength In the
Browing crops to ensure a fair yield
of a good quality of grain. This con
dition arises in the m!d-ccntral dis
tricts of the province.
The southern portions of the prov
ince have been exceptionally favored,
reports showing that the yield of all
grains will be wonderfully good.
The crops of all Saskatchewan are
a week or ten days later than those
of Manitoba.
Conditions In Alberta are said to bo
pood, especially in southern Alberta,
where copious and plentiful showers
came In time to give assurance of
good paying yields. This applies to
nearly all sections of that district.
Northern Alberta, or at least that
portion of It lying within thirty miles
of Kdmonton, has suffered from Inck of
moisture, a very unusual thing for
that district, where there is generally
nn abundance. As a result, the heavy
yields of wheat, oats and barley for
which the district Is noted will show
considerable falling off over past years.
The grain, though, is of excellent
quality, and the yield will be fair.
Pasturage is poor, and the hay crop
will fall short of that of any previous
year for quite an extended period.
On the whole, the prairie provinces
of Western Canada will have a crop
that will warrant the statement that it
will prove satisfactory and remuner
ative. A number of farmers put In corn
thlB year, and from present appear
n rices there Is n likelihood of an
abundant yiold for fodder and ensi
lage, while a good deal of It will fully
mature. A number of silos were
erected this season. While grain grow
ing Is losing none of Its Interest. It
Is highly pleasing to note tho number
of farmers who are adding dairying to
the grain growing industry. Adver
tisement. New Dodge.

MAKES MOVIE PICTURE NOW
Roger Sullivan, Former Engineer, DU
abled in World War, Successful
In Camera Work.
The fact thnt he was nn engineer
before tho war may help him to un
derstand the mechanism of n motion
plcturo camera, but the knowledge of
proper lighting effects mid other
things Incident to the successful pro
duction of motion pictures had to be
learned by Itogor Sullivan, nl'ter ho
was seriously disabled In the World
war.
Sullivan was wounded while operat
ing with the United Naval forces in
France. After the wnr, young Sulli
van found that his Injuries were such
that he could not successfully "carry
on" as an engineer. Under tho super
vision of the U. S. Veterans' bureau,
ho entered a school of photography
In New York nnd has completed a
course In motion plcturo making and
"still" photography.
Sullivan and His Camera.
Together with James E. Pelkey, an
other dlsnbled veteran who took the
same course, Sullivan Is producing a
picture entitled "Another Chance."
The picture depicts every stage
through which a disabled veteran
passes from the time he leaves the
hospital until he has been completely
rehabilitated In some school of voca
tional training.
The film closes with tho picture of
President Harding. Tho photograph of
Sullivan "shooting" the President was
taken by Pelkey.
Sullivan and Pelkey spend their
spnre hours in the club rooms of the
Washington Heights post of the Arner
lca'n Legion in New York City.
WANTS BEST COOKIE RECIPE
American Legion Auxiliary Plans to
Have "Cookie Jar" for the
Sick Ex-Soldiers.
The best, top-hole, A-l cookie recipe
In America Is wanted by the American
Legion auxiliary
for use In Its
welfare work
with veterans in
hospitals.
This recipe may
he a modern,
cooking school's
lntest piece, do
resistance, or It
mny be a family
heirloom but It
must be good.
The more It re
sembles the cook
ies that mother used to bake, the hap
pier it Is going to make a lot of sick
soldiers.
Tho auxiliary's plan Is to establish
In each hospital, where there are
veterans receiving treatment, a "cdokie
Jar," which will be kept tilled with a
fresh supply of delectable cakes, made
by auxiliary members. The plan Is
that of Mrs. W. II. Cudworth, of Mil
waukee, Wis., chairman of the hospi
tal and welfare committee. The recipe
should be sent to the national auxil
iary headquarters, Indianapolis, Ind.

form and Obtained Money.
The story Is carried by a Brussels
newspaper of the duping of the Ameri
can army in the Ithlne area by a
clever German crook. The story was
not confirmed by Americans at Cob
lenz. A German prisoner of war effected
his release from a prison camp, donned
the uniform of a Belgian army major
and the name of Otto Dcheny, accord
ing to tho report. He presented
forged credentials at Coblenz where he
Is said to have been royully received
by tho American army.
Before the assembled American
troops, he pinned the medaille mill
talre of Belgium on Major General
Allen's breast and after getting
numerous loans of considerable
umounts from Mnjor General Allen's

GIVES LIFE SAVING OTHERS
W. C. Gentry Escaped Injury In
World War, Dies Rescuing Texas
Flood Victims.
After serving with tho colors In tho
Infantry, Held artillery, motor trans
port corps and
the navy, W. a
Gentry returned
from the World
wnr to his home
at Fort Worth,
Tor., without
having been In
jured) During tho
flood at Fort
Worth in April,
1021!, the Ameri
can Legion called
upon Its members
to do r e s c u o
work. Young Gentry was one of tho
first to present himself at the Legion
office.
During the first few hours ho wns In
tho flood district Gentry rescued six
persons. While swimming toward tho
levee, after carrying n woman to
safety, he became entangled In a
barbed-wire fence which had come to
the surface of the water. He called
to a companion for help, but tho com
panion wns too nearly exhausted to
save him. The Burglng waters from
which he had Baved others soon en
gulfed him.
Mayor 12. R. Cockrell of Fort Worth
urged his fellow citizens to erect n
lifting memorial to tho young man
who hnd unselfishly given his life for
his fellow men.
WHEN ONLY FOUR HOURS OLD
Miss Rosalie Carol Larson of Worth

quirements for membership in the
American Legion
Auxiliary. A num

there nre several
young women

Auxiliary all their
lives. Little ltosalle Carol Larson of
Worthlngton, Minn., was admitted to
membership when she wns exactly four
hours old. No, she didn't apply for
the honor, it wus Just conferred upon
her.
Rosalie's father, Warner Larson,
served with the Twenty-ninth division,
nnd her mother received her diploma

THE FLOWERS OF THE LEGION
American Daisy and French Poppy
Official Posies of Both Branches
of the Organization.
There has been some confusion In
the minds of Americans in general
ns to tho status of the daisy and tho
poppy in connection with the Ameri
cnn Legion and the American Legion
Auxiliary.
The daisy Is the Legion's official
flower; the poppy Is the Auxiliary's
memorial flower. The misunderstand
ing nroso In the first plnce, because
In Its early days the Legion did adopt
the poppy of France as Its flower.
But at Its Knnsas City convention the
Americnn Legion adopted the daisy
as Its official flower on the grounds
that the daisy Is an Americnn flower
and the poppy of Flnnders Is avail
able for use only In artificial form.
The Legion Auxiliary has taken ad
vantage of tho very fact that the poppy
Is not available as a real flower to buy
artificial flowers made by disabled sol
diers In hospltnls. The Massachu
setts Legion and Auxiliary netted
something over $40,000 from the sale
of artificial popples, last winter. This
money wns used to better the condi
tions of sick and needy veterans of
tho World wnr.
The Legion Is making every effort
to Interest tho children of America In
tho cultivation of flowers by appeal
ing to their patriotism and to their
natural affection for such n flower as
the American Legion's American
dnisy.
Carrying On With the
American Legion
Former service men In Pennsylvania
received $10,000 In claims from tho
government In one month through the
efforts of the Pennsylvania American
Legion.
A giant new bridge will span the
historic Chnrles river at Boston, Mnss.,
serving as a memorial to the Massa
chusetts dead who lost their lives In
the World wnr.
Australia's heroes of tho World war
were honored on Anznc day, when re
ligious services, soldiers' reunions and
public meetings were held throughout
the commonwealth.
A freak pretending to be hnlf baboon
nnd half womnn, giving America as
her home and declaring that there are
many more like her In this country,
nttracted considerable attention In a
Constantinople (Turkey) street cnrnl
val, until American Legion members
hnd the act suppressed.

Special Care of Baby.
That Baby should have a bed of Its own all ure agreed. Yet It
Is more reasonable for on infant to sleep with grown-ups than to ubo
a man's medicine In on attempt to regulate the delicato organism of
that same infant. Either practice, is to be shunned. Kelthcr would
be tolerated bj specialistj in children's diseases.
Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must be
prepared with eren greater care than Baby's food.
A Baby's stomach when in good health is too often disarranged
by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving
to your ailing child aaything but a medicine especially prepared
for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived.
Make a mental note of this: -It is important, Mothers, that
you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of
your Baby must receive special care. Ho Baby is so abnormal that
the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily
prepared for grown-ups.
