The first woman sheriff of the Southwest was installed today, when Mrs. William Gates took the oath of office as' the sheriff of Stephens county here.,:; :r "There will be no Jwotlegging . or moonshining in these parts," Mrs. Gates announced as the chief plank of .her platform, and to prove, she meant what she said, she seized three stills within an hour "after she assum ed office. . ... f Mrs." Gates succeeded her husband, who while on his death-bed summon ed the three commissioners of Ste phens county and asked them to elect his wife to the office, Theyjjromised that they would do so, and that is why Mrs. Gates became the first wo man sheriff of the Southwest. Mrs. Gates, despite the fact that she has accepted the responsibilities of the sheriff's office in the county near the oil fields, where- there is an inclination to disregard laws, is fem inine and domestic.' She had never before appeared in public, life, and her time and energy have been de voted to her home.'

"My husband's, policies -were satisfactory ( to' Stephens county and I will follow1 closely in each step ,of his careevf' Mrs. Gates said. No Longer Kept in Seclusion, Though Veils Still Appear About Their Faces. Constantinople, June 17 Turkish women are no longer the-shy veiled creatures who passed their time in the seclusion of the harem and were never seen by foreign men. They still cling to the veiL". But the streets in Constantinople and. other larger Turkish cities are filled with women who have their veils thrown back from their faces. " Thev are highly ornamental and becoming. Most, of the Turkish women don't want' to abandon them in favor of hats. But there are many sorts of veils and the smart, black silk, veils vyhich so.vtrof the women wear are very feU. jng when draped artistically over their hair. '-. . In the railway and street cars ther are special seats for women but the imsy curtainsovhich are supposed to screen them from the gaze of men are usually drawn back and it is not uncommon to see men standing in the compartments for women. Only very old men, .however, are rash enough to sit down in the same seat with the Turkish women. Turkish women sel dom go to a theater where there are men. ' Special matinees, and evening performances are arranged for worn. en only. ' . .- " . ... The.war has done much to break down the barrier between Turkish men and women. The women were needed so badly as nurses and relief workers that' the government had to avail itself of their services.- And now it is regarded as quite proper for men and women to be associated in all sorts of charitable and education. al works. Consequently many women who were formerly forced to content themselves with seclusion in a home where fancy work and French novels were the-only diversions are devoting their time to hospitals, orphanages nd other philanthropic institutions. Women who have been, educated abroad or in the foreign schools in Turkey are the leaders in this move, ment for greater freedom for their sex.

Federal and state officials state that Nebras ka's 1920 wheat crop will reach 56, 120,000 bushelB, or 4,546,000 under the 1919 production. A report, prepared by 'A. E; An derson ot the Federal bureau, and Secretary Leo Stuhr of the State- ag ricultural department, gives 88 per cent ad" the condition of the winter wheat crop, and estimates it will yield 50,896,000 bushels as compar ed to 54,997,000 bushels last spring. Spring wheat production, according to preliminary estimates, will reach 5,233,000 bushels, compared . to 6, 678,000 bushels in 1919. These "es timates are all based on June 1 con ditions. '.'". "The June 1 condition of winter wheat,": says the report, "is very promising and aside from possibili ties of rust, hail or lack of moisture, Nebraska will harvest a splendid crop. Most of the fields damaged by March winds have fully recovered. Much of the wheat is getting very thick and rank and conditions are becoming ideal for the development of rust." Continuing its review of the crop conditions in the state, the report addsr "The acreage' of oats is the same as last year. Preliminary es timates forecast a production of 66,. 454,000 bushels, compared to 69,' 962,000 bushels last year. "... "Estimates on corn will be'made in July. , An increased acreage is ex pected due to the fact that .the small grain acreage . ,is considerably ; less. than last year.

NEW SOURCES OF SUPPLY MAN SOON BE EXPECTED Manchester, England, June 17. Prof. J. A. Todd, secretary of the Empire Cotton Growing committee of the Board of Trade, has Just deliver, ed to the Textile Institution a warn ing of the prospective world scarcity of COtton in th near tntnvm mrA m pnasizea tne neea xor developing new sources of supply as well as experi menting with cotton substitutes. After dealing exhaustively with the labor position in the United States cotton growing areas, the bad weather and ravages by boll-weevil as well as the acreage position, the professor said, "it is obvious that we wei not going to get 15,000,000 bales of cotton this year." At home it seemed to him the consumers had not yet felt the full weight of the high cost of the raw material. Even in America he did not see much sign of the consumer's intention of doing . without cotton fabrics. Tne statistics for America's do. mestic consumption for the first 3 months of this year were on a basis : uncomfortably near to 7,000,000 a year, British consumption before the' war was nearly 4,000,000 bales, and the total American crop last year was only 11,000,000. What was going t0 happen when the rest of the world and particularly the continental coun tries woke up and began to de mand more cotton? . , " By next year, he said, the conti nental mills probably would be mora active than now and the increased demand and the Oriental demand will also be much higher. So long as the workers and producers of the world were making so much more money than they ever did before, he did not see how the demand for cotton goods was even going to be substantially reduced. The world was not produc ing sufficient cotton to meet this de mand and was not likely to do so un less some way was devised of making use of even the lowest grades. It was only a question of time, he n n t i 1. 1 1 1 , fviicu bile WUIIUpWVUIU a scarcity of cotton and it was high - time, therefore,, that something was done to developnew source of sup ply, for even when they were found they would not be able to afford a substantial relief for five to ten. years. He was not sure that the time had not come for them to look around for an efficient cotton sub stitute, for the world was full of textile fibres which had never been exploited.
