I.lttlo Thliign ot I.Ue.
Why Is it that wo so easily forget
that tho little things in life aro what
make it easy or hard? A few plonsant
words, a warm hand-clasp, a cordial
letter are simple tilings, but they ure
mighty in their influence on tho lives
of those about lis, adding a ray of hope
to many disconsolate hearts, giving
courage to disappointed, weary ones,
and helping at tho same time to make
our own lives sweeter. Fow people
realize how much tho little attentions
of every-day life mean to their associ
ates in thu home, society and the place
of business. It is generally a lack of
consideration that makes one forget
the tiny pleasantries; but lack of con
sideration is really ono form of selfish
ness, and selfishness is not a desirable
quality. Remember that the little
things in life, cither good or bad, count
for moro with those we love than we
ever know, und we should be watchful
of our actions and ot our words.

stacles to development during July.

portant states in which tho crop
Is less than half the normal
product. This is the caso in Maine,
New Hampshire, Vermont, Michigan
and Wisconsin, the percentages rang
ing from 28 in Michigan to 4a In Ver
mont. Massachusetts, New York,
Pennsylvania and Iowa show condi
tions between 50 and 00, or iudientcd
products at or slightly above one-half
the normal. On the other hand fifteen
states, New Jersoy, Maryland, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Arkansas,
Tennessee, West Virginia, Kentucky,
Indiana, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado
and tho Pacific eoast states, excluding
stntes not commercially important,
have a condition of 80 or over, and of
theso six, New Jersey, Kentucky, Ar
kansas, Indiana, Missouri and Colo
rado, are above !0, Kentucky going to
lOi. Ohio and Illinois have conditions
73 and 72 respectively. The crop la
reported generally short in the north
ern hut abundant in tho southern por
tions of theso states. Tho general
avorago of condition Is 71.2 against 44
last year.

heavily in Delaware, whero about one
third tho normal crop is now indicated.
New Jersey has also suffered, tho per
centage falling 112 points and resting
now at 01. Conditions aro high in
Connecticut nnd Georgia, respectively
02 and 101. Maryland hopes for a two
thirds ciop, Virginia something under
that portion. A very short crop is in
dicated for Ohio, and for Michigan
about half the normal product On
tho Pacific coast conditions approxi
mate the general average for tho,
country. Much complaint of dropping' '
and rotting is made, tho latter espec
ially in tho South.

long conferences on the subject with
Mr. John Wanamakcr. He sai 1, 'Rest
assured that Englnnd will not alter tho
gold standard.'"
