assumed more serious proportions today
when a strike of firemen tied up th trans

dred of cars pf freight, much of it of a

with no prospect of "being moved until a
settlement of some sort is 'made or the
places of the strikers are filled.

On the., southern division reports indicate
that from 40 to 75 percent of the corn crop
has been planted. Some of the very early
corn Is out of th ground and growing well
Nearly all the corn planting Is done on the
northern division. In many places on the
western division an corn has been planted
There wer two warm, growing day dur
ing th week, but the weather has been
generally cool and the season -backward
On that portion of the Alliance division
where corn Is raised, th greater part of
th planting ha been done and corn pros
pects are favorable.
In eastern Nebraska and Kansas an un
usually large fruit crop seems practically
assured. Pastures snd meadows are In ex
cellent condition everywhere. Som alfalfa
ha been harvested on the western division
and the crop Is generally. ready for tha
first cutting. Beet sugar planting Is prac
tically finished with more than averaga
acreage, in the northwest tne grass on
ranges Is so good that It wpuld seem to
indicate in early shipment, cl stock from

were of no avail, and I waa gradually
becoming worae,. my face was dread
fully dlaflgured and I lost nearly iM my
hair. At. lust, my wife prevailed upon
me to try tho, Cutlcjira Itemediea and I
gave ijiem a thorough, .trial with the
moat satisfactory results. Tbe disease
aoon began to disappear and my hair
commenced to grow again. A fresh
growtu of hair is covering my head,
