We have gone through another week of favorable conditions forv?'most all farm ing enterprises. Harvesting of winter wheat progressed rapidly and is now prac tically completed Wept in- the extreme northwestern part of the winter wheat belt. Kansas and Nebraska, which to gether have 28 per cent of the winter wheat acreage, hve produced a crop which the threshing returns showls above ordinary both in quantity and qua.!ityttnd this crop is fairly distributed In the two great wheat states. Only south central Nebraska and some adjacent territory in Kansas gives unfavorable reports at the finish. Some black rust reported from Clay county, Nebraska, two weeks ago and which was expected to cut down the yield probably- 25 per cent Is evidently not widely distributed, and the strip of country farther south and west that l;as had very little moisture since the heavy April snow will not affect seriously the asgregate ofthe otherwise satisfactory crop. The spring wheat belt haO a very good week. Showers, mostly light, came to nearly all the territory. The Red river valley fti Minnesota, where the moisture was wanted, getting an inch or more early In the week. The clear, cool weath er following the early showers gave the best possible conditions for the heads filling. Some red rust Is present in those and a consequnt heavy growth of straw and foliage. But it is belljved the crops are an far advanced that the rust dam-ige will be negligible. , Corn has progressed very well In almost all dirtrlcts. The warnier weather of the last part of the week' gave the corn plant excellent conditions and while many fields are still backward the bulk of the crop Is well developed for the season. In the northern part of the corn belt where early varieties are grown, tassels were observed in some fields early In the week. Central Nebraska got heavy reins on Fri day. The moisture was greatly needed for corn and will offset some of the dam age by hall and flood in the northeastern part of the state which has played in hard luck all season. Iowa has probably the best corn prospect ever. The cotton belt got good rains except In southern Texas and parts of Arkansas and Missis sippi. The boll weevil of cotton is re ported from all sections, but generally the damage reported Is not above average. The generally favorable prospect for tho crop is being sustained. The entire eastern section of the coun try except a amall strip of Atlantic coast territory has had cool showery weather excellent for all growing crops, but "slow" for baying. Potato drops in (om districts east have had 4eo much rain, but fruit, pasture and truck crops are excellent. Warm weather on the Pacific coast with rain in the Puget sound district about tell the whole story for that section. rsBslderable damage has resulted in the .cowt country from heat and drought. HOLDING A Adele Garrison's Revelations A Problem and a Surprise. , I could not obey Major Grant latirTs injunction to remain in the waiting room while he inquired about my sleeping car drawing room, the ticket for which Dicky had carried off to give to Rita Brown if I didn't catch the train. Without his knowing it I followed him out into the great open space from which the cross continent trains start, and watched him as he approached the railed-in space where sit the men who inspect the tickets of the travelers.! The first man he accosted looked at his ticket, then sent Tiim to a second. Even in my worry over this unexpected compli cation I could not help the feeling that Major Grantland would adjust the matter satisfactorily. He looked wonderfully efficient as he .talked to the. second man, but I knew subtly that he had been disappointed when he turned away from the railing and hurried back to me. ' "There will be a s!ight---cornpli-cation," he said but his face and voice were imperturbable, and I felt that he was- shielding me from the knowledge of something unpleasant. "I will take you to the dining room now, and then I will proceed to the search of the man higher up. Un fortunately the man I want isn't down at this time. So you will please take this, and if I do not get back, go on board with it. After od get on the train you ban easily find your own quarters." He handed me the berth check from inside his own ticket. I drew back my hand protestingly. ' "But you, what will you do?" I can more easily take the next train than you if I am not able to fix the thing up." he said quietly. ''Please do not delay us by useless protests." Therjc was the martinet touch in his response, a .touch which I had seen before when ' I had gone through so dramatic and dangerous nn experience with him in the time of the war. I knew that I could do but one thing, submit quietly. There fore, I turned and walked demurely by hiV side' to the, dining room. But my soul was filled with rage it Dicky. He must have known that the absence of my drawing room check would mean this very complication, and yet, because he was angry, he had left me to face it. Rita Brown Observes. The air was draughty as we en tered the dining room, and as Major Grantland handed our bags to the checking attendant, he turned to me solicitously: COMMON SENSE Putting Things in Their Proper Place. By J. J. MUNDT. . Whose fault it it that you could not find the hammer this morning? Oh, you did not put it away or out of the way, you admit it, but isn't that jusfthe reason why some one else has a chance to mislay it? If you leave the hammer or the axe out'of its place someone must pick it up and put it where it be longs or you canot find it. But you feel that your home is a place thaat your wife should keep in order. Of course; what else has she to do all day? And with this kind thought in mind you arrive at your cozy home which shines with your dainty little wife's careful neatness, and you pro ceed to remove y6Vroat and throw it on a hair while you put your hat on the piano or some equally ridiculous place.

"Thanks, old chap," Major Grant land replied, and I knew by his tons that he was much relieved to find that he was not compelled to trail railroad officials around the station.

How can a high school girl best be taught the impropriety of a very thin blouse, very low-neck un derwear and very fhort skirts? This is often a very difficult thing to ttach at all!

Do Water Marks Appear in Paper? Copyright, 1920. by the Wheeler Syndi cate. Inc.) The first use of trre water mark so called because of" the man-" ner in which it is impressed into trie paper during fSe process of manufacture was, as it is today, to pbint out the place of manir facture and to guarantee the tex ture and material used. It was the equivalent of a trade mark or proof of quality. The first water mark on record was the coat-of-arms of a town, but gradually the marks became more simple until they were standardized in 10 forms which are used to this day as the names for various sizes of paper, or iginally stamped with -these marks. In the order of their size, from the smallest to the largest, these marks were the beli, pot, ecu or three-franc piece, crown, shell, grape, large rape, jesus, great .eagle and great world. The size "jesus" was in dicated by the letter ,"j," the others by the equivalent emblem. The efficiency of 'the water mark as a proof of authenticity is evidenced by the great time and trouble spent by the Ger mans during the world war in forging the distinguishing marks on British and American pass ports, but in spite of many in genious devices, including the use of melted grease these for geries were almost invariably de tected.

Copyright. 1920, pmpson Feature Service tennis tourney opened at the Field club, Saturday afternoon wi.ii everything set to make it the uig- gest in local msiury. Of the 32 scheduled matches, three were won by default. Five matches in the first round arc sceduled for Saturday afternoon. This is the first city tennis meet since the war. It is difficult to pick winners after results of tlyfe first round, for some of the old-timers were not so good, and won their matches only through hard playiug throughout the sets. There is little fear of a "dark horsf." Champion in Good Form. Bill Adams, winner of the last city tennis tourney, was in fairly good form yesterday. He won from H. D. Jolley, 6-1, 6-2, but had no runaway. The champion had to fight for every game, hu his speed and serve were too much for his opponent- The most interesting match of the day, and there were many exciting matches, was between E. E. O'Neill and L. H. Buzzard. OjNeill won from the flashy Creighton player, 6-3, 8-10. 6-4. Buzzard, who ,Jias been a steady player, did not live up to his reputation yesterday. He played in streaks. Nearly every game went to deuce, the men be ing evenly matched and playing tight ball. In the second set, Buz zard had O'Neill by ithe score of 5-1, but then started to play poor ball. O'Neill took advantage of the situation, but Buzzard finally won the set by 10-8. Howard Green, University of Mis souri tennis crack, and Dr. Boehler drew attention by their close play ing. - Green lost the first set, 6-8, but easily took the second by the score of 6-1. The doctor refused to finish, claiming he was "winded." Harry Koch four times winner of the staje championship, was not sure of winning vesterdav. He de feated F. H. Gefhous, 6-2; 3-6, 6-1. Gelhous took the second set easily. Koch, then took a rest before starting the third set, which drew the largest gallery of the day. Koch played good tennis the third set, his ground strokes making him much the better man. "Spike" Kennedy, a veteran, mowed down S. Cullingham by the score ot b-l, 6-2. Guy Williams, one of the strongest boosters for ten nis in the city, defeated P. B. Means, 6-3.6-2. - Ralph Powell, holder of the 1916 state singles tourney, won from E. Epsten, 6-2, 6-3.
