The grand champion in the better baby contest this year at the state fair is a girl and she comes from Eagle, Neb. Therefore, it is perfectly right that the motto of the babies should be "Let the Eagle Scream. The prizes were awarded at the auditorium at 10 o'clock this morning by Chief Justice Andrew M.

Gov ernor Neville had been selected to make the presentations, but because of the war complications he did not leel able to take on greater responsibilities and turned over the job to the chief justice, who is a great judge of babies and more competent to officiate in that capacity because he is a bachelor and has none of his own, while the governor hat three. .''.' c - I Baldwin-Walker. fi Ethel Walker ind Francis Baldwin vere .married by Rev.

" In a summar" of cron condition. tne crop reporting board said: Iht great corn crop of three and a quarter billions of bushels promised on September 1, which is 153,000,000 bushels above any previous year, will be realized fully m the form of sound corn only provided frost holds off un usually late. A good big crop of sound corn is promised if killing frost in the main belt does not come ear lier than usual. The indicated out come results from a big acreage rath er than exceptional promise of yield per acre. "The oats crop for 1917, promised and largely realized on September 1, is 1,553,000,000 bushels, within 6,000, 000 bushels of the greatest previous crop. Conditions are reported 10 per cent above normal in Iowa and Mis souri. In North Dakota, however, the crop promis.es only two-fifths, and in Montana less than half of a normal yield, while it is less than two-thirds in Washington and Oregon. "The spring wheat report on Sep tember 1 promises 250,000,000 bushels. I4,OOU,000 bushels more than on Au- fust 1, early threshings having shown eavier yield than anticipated in many sections, particularly in Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa. The condi tions in North Dakota, as well as Montana, Washington and Oregon, remain poor from the effect of drouth." Humans and Hogs At State Fair !
