I'otatoos Are Damaged. The frost destroyed one-third of the potato crop, especially in the northern part of the country. Peas and beans also were seriously damaged. At the same time the heat and drought increased the ravages of all kinds of pestiferous insects, so the crop of apples and pears wlil b insignificant. It also delayed the wheat crop and with the failure of \ umaniu and the Ukraine to deliver the expected wheat, Germany is in a bad way.

The oat crop also will be a bumper one. Canadian crop estimates differ owing to the fact that the wheat country is so vast and enjoys varying weather, but indications are for a record crop for our northern aliy also. English Crop Good. English crop experts report favorably on the prospects for this year, and good crops in the invaded portions of France, with an average yield in Holland and Spain, are predicted. Italy, it is anticipated, will produce 164,000,000 bushels of wheal as against 140.000,000 bushels last year. An abundance of wheat is promised from India, Australia and Argentina. The question with those' countries is one of tonnage and not! ot the size of the crop. it doesn't look, therefore, as if the allied peoples will starve this year. The restrictions on the use of flour pronaniy will lie modi t ied to a great degree by tho food administration. Uut then Huns will tighten their I -Its another notch and wait huniy for tho "victorious peace" til ir ulcrs have promised them. ?o ! i$ER!GAN UNITS TAKE MANY HUNS \v' ' the Amor.-ian Army on the A inse-Marne f ront.?One Ameiiam unit since Thursday has taken 2.SSP i p.

WHY BIRTH R KG I STRATI ON IS NECESSARY The ony way of keeping an official record of a person's birth is hv birth < cgistration. It is probably the most j mportant record in a person's life.:' because it is a proof of his or her ( egitimacy, his or her descent, Ins or ler right to inherit prop rly be-! onging to the family, and his or her! ige for schooling, voting and marry-! ng. It will not be long before a nirth certificate is required for almost every kind of service and occu- j nation. It is really not safe to travel n any country without the legal an- I Lhority of one's citizenship, which is implied by a birth certificate. mn IUR TROOPS FIGHT WITH FINE SPIRIT how Steadiness in Four Days of Heavy Open Warfare .ARGEST U.
