PlIARKS Girtnoie Nkwuousk Editor Manager CONDITION OF CROPS SECRETARY WILSON THINKS DAM AGE REPORTS EXAGGERATED. Say3 Claims That This Year's Har vest In Canadian Northwest Will Be Ssriouoly Dimlniehed May Have Some Foundation in Fact. Chicago, May 7.--TI10 reports of damage to tho crops which Imvo been so numerous of Into, owing to the un reasonable weather and tho ravages of bugs, have been greatly exaggerated, according to James Wilson, secretary of agriculture, who Is in Chicago. "Spring seeding Ib a. little back ward," said Mr. Wilson, .''on account of the cold weather, but there Is plenty of time between now and tho last of September to grow a crop of nil hinds or grain. In Minnesota and tho Dakotas, where we get most or our spring wheat, seeding has been de layed about two weeks, but with n few days of warm sunshine planting will be in full swing. While the weather has been unreasonably cold In some districts, It has not been severe enough to retard plowing, and my ad vices are that tho ground In these states hns been nearly all made ready to receive the seed. Wo will have warm weather in a few dn-ys now and 1 don't see what is to prevent a nor innl crop of spring wheat In these Mates. "As regards the condition northwest, tho claims being mnde that this year's hnrvost will be seriously diminished may have some foundation. Accord ing to what I oonsidor authentic ad vices from that section, tho weather Ikis been so cold that plowing has been almost impossible. In past years tho Canadian farmer has gen erally lort his plowing for th spring, and this year he finds hlmscir in a bad predicament. In a normal year seeding would bo about hall' finished In Manitoba and adjoining provinces, but I am told that tonuy the fanners there have not got tho ground ready lor u'celving the seed, oven if the weather was favorable for this work. Howe'ver, such n condition in tho Canadian northwest will not make a great deal of difference when this year's crop is harvested. The Cana dian farmer grows but a small pro portion or the total crop or wheat an I 1 am or the opinion that the deficiency there, If there be any. will hardly b noticed when harvesting throughout the world hns been completed. "In the southwest there have been numerous reports for tho past three weeks or damage being wrought by green bugs. These reports of damage to the winter wheat have been grossly exaggerated. 1 am in a position where I get as good information us anybody regarding the growing crops. While I have had many reports about the green bug, the damage wrought by theso Insects has been local In every instance and there has not been any geneial attack by this pest, as some people are endeavoring to make it appear. From my knwwledge of the southwest, whore so much of our win ter wheat is grown, the advices at hand lead me to believe that that dis trict will have its usual crop this year. This applies to oats and corn as well as wheat. The crop as a whole may be delayed somewhat In ripening, but not enough to cause any apprehension. Corn will suffer must, as plowing for this crop has been delayed consider ably, but 1 sec no cause lor appre hension.

BOISE WATCHES VISITORS Only Fear of Trouble Is Possible Out break of "Crank." Boise, Ida., May S. As a precau tionary measure, street preaching or speaking will be stopped In Holse dur ing the trials of William D.

It Is feared that freedom of speech In tho street may lend to local agitation for or against tho prisoners and possible disorders and Mayor Haines has de cided that it will be better to Issue and enforce a strict order covering the matter. Tho city continues en tirely quiet and there Is not the slight est indication of possible disorder. Tho occasional crank is tho man feared rather than any concerted or suddenly aroused general movement. Police and detectives watch the rail road and highways entorlng the city and it is the general belief that they will be able at all times to fully con trol the situation. Deposition in Moycr Case.

Lincoln, Neb., May 7. The execu tlvc committee of tho Lincoln Com mercial club authorized the filing of complaint with the Interstate com- 1 merce commission ngainst six No- , braska railroads charging discrimina tion In freight rates against the city of Lincoln. Attorneys were employed to draw up Hie brief. The complaint is against the Uocic Island, I'nlon Pa cific. Missouri Pacific, Uurllnaton, Simla Fe, Missouri, Kansas and Texas and subsidiary lines. The complaint is based upon the allegation that Ike ' rates from the south on lumber, cement, glass, salt, coal, brick, rice, sugar, egg case fillers and other com- j modities are higher to Lincoln than the rates on tho same commodities to Omnha over the same roads, though the distance to the lutter city Is from , two to seventy-flvo miles further. The commission Is asked to have its hear- ' lug in this city. HOME FINANCING. Tho Ever Present Problem of Providing For th Future. There is one problem that dominates the home an obtrusive, pervasive problem that ofttimes fills the whole horizon of life one that, like Banquo's ghost, "will not down." It Is tho ever present question of home financing. When we have mastered the "to have.'' , the problem of the "to hold" confronts us. It Is the question of providing for the home which can never be properly answered until we realize that "pro vide" is a verb that should ever be conjugated In two tenses, present and future. There Is In our American life too of ten a blind optimism ki living up to an ineome, in assuming that because the mm of prosperity shines warmly today there Is no need of providing umbrel las for 11 possible rainy tomorrow. Those who wisely live within an in come rarely have to face the problem of trying to live without one. There are two simple guarantees against fu ture poverty mid dependence on oth ers, two great safeguards for home and family a bank book nnd nn Insur ance policy. They represent the ma terial defense of the homo, a bulwark of love's forethought standing strong and linn In the hour of need. Delinea tor. An Actinic Voice. Mr.-Martin was of those who say of music, "1 don't know anything about It, really, but I know what I like." Unfortunately ills lack of knowledge never led him to silence. "I heard a wonderful tenor voice while I was In Paris one summer." he said, with enthusiasm, to a patient friend. "Wonderful! The highest ten or I ever heard." "Indeed!" t-altl the rrlend. "What is ills name':" "Why, 1 can't reeall his name," ad mitted Mr. Martin, "but the voice stays In my mlud. Why, man, he sang way up ab(io the seoU-s with perfect ease!"- Youth's Companion.
