WHEAT OUTLOOK:The New York Post says: "When the United States produces so great a crop of wheat as is promised this coming season, it is a matter of high interest to know how foreign wheat producing states are doing. In the past we have realized abundant crops which gold at abnormally low prices because other countries also had bumper harvests. We have also had big crops which were enormously profitable because of foreign shortage. What is the outlook now? The ondon Statist, which keeps close watch of the world's grain situation, thus reports: The crops in European countries, owing to tie low- temperatures which have prevailed for some time past, are making slow grow th, so that, unless there be a speedy change in this respect, the harvests will be late. This is a very important point to bear in mind, as stocks in most important countries are believed to be quite moderate, it not small. Present indications are that the coming season will be or.< in which the requirements of importing countries will be larger than in any previous year. Italy and France are certain to import freely, while the crop in Hungary promises such a poor result that, instead of being a small exporter on balance, Austria-Hungary will probably import about thirty-two! million bushels of wheat. In France, the account proceeds, 'the condition ■ of the crop at the present time is so irregular that a large yield can .rot be expected, even wi.lr favorable weather in the future; in England, the growth is backward, and only 1 average crops arc expected elsewhere; Russia especially showing signs of falling tar below its 836,000,000-bushcl crop of 1913. India’s yield is officially estimated 44.500.000 bushels under last year.’’ SPLENDID APPOINTMENTS:That President Wilson is held in high esteem by the press of the nation is shown by the following front the last issue of Collier’s one of the great magazines of the world: “President Wilson’s appointin'. pt» to the Federal Reserve Board are beyond reproach. Few men have the combination of scholarship and experience possessed by Mr. Warburg, and none could approach a public service with a higher d< ,i; ion to the public good. The other appointments are. according to the testimony of those who know the men equally high. Many acts of Mr. Wilson’s administration have been such as < to excite enthusiasm for his high ' standards, none more than these appointments. They constitute a fitting j perfection to w hat is probably, consid- j cring its intricacy, the best devised < and most intelligently werked-out piece * of important legislation that has been ’ passed in Washington in more than a decade.

[ Much as the Fort Wayne News will regret, it the railroads ure ordering their men back to work and every in- : dilation points to the best times h. history. i — J -— l Judge LuFollette of Portland I brought a party of business men from i that city here a few days ago and they , were enthusiastic over Adams comity ' roads. So is every body else who wish to be fair about it. We honestly believe that no county in the United States has as many miles of really good roads and as few poor roads as has Adams county.

: HIS LATEST POEM i E. F. Gilpin, Former Adams County Boy, Sends His New "Poem i FROM INDIANAPOLIS I — ■‘He Died From Over Work” > Is Subject of Series of Humorous Verse. E. F. Gilpin of Indianapolis, an old Adams county boy, whose poems have appeared on several occasions in the Democrat, sends his latest one entitled "He Died From Over Work ”: I was reading in the paper that a man of wondrous wealth, In the prime of manly vigor and the very best of health, Who was known all over the country for the fortune he possessed. Was taken down with fever and had come out second best. And all the papers near and far his death they did deplore. He was worth a million dollars, he had virtues by the score. He was always in his office and his labors never shirked, 3 o they emphasized the statement That the man was over worked. I knew a millionaire one time who did not work at all. le fished throughout the summer, he bunted in the fall, le ventured out ot.e stormy day and from its bud effects. A microbe did assail him and he handed in his checks. \nd every paper in the town in headlines did display. Death has claimed another victim and a good man passed away.” t was neither chills nor fever that within his system lurked; Twas a case of pure exhaustion, he was simply over worked. knd then there was another man whose millions were untold, lis knives and forks and door knobs were all of solid gold, le did not work to earn it as the papers often chant. ’or every blessed cent lie had was left him by his Aunt le came home from the club one night and what do you suppose, \nother microbe came along and he turned up his toes. The neighbors said the deadly Grippe life’s brittle thread had jerked. iut we read it in the papers that the man was over worked. Vnd yet there was another man of our score years and ten, .Vfiose life was really longer than the average life of men. Je was not reckless in his habits as with most of them appears, Jut he hadn't done a lick of work for o! these many years. He bad a man to brush his clothes and put him safe to bed. \nother man to shave him and brush and comb his head, 3ut when infirmity and age had laid its victim low, They dated back his over work some thirty years ago. Ye doctors! of the present day who with diseases cope. Whose maxim teaches where there’s life, that there is hope, Unbosom just one secret please and tell us if you can, Is there no cure for over work when it attacks a tuan? Does it wander forth in daylight as an unsuspecting witch. And pass a thousand poor men by to tackle one that’s rich? Or does it roam at midnight as the lion with its cub And pounce upon Its victim who is drinking at the club? Tear off this mask of overwork, the people know full well The secret of their busy lives, then why this falsehood tell, Deception doesn't hide the facts and none of us believe. The rich ure so attached to work they haven’t time to breathe. For when a poor man breathes his last and joins the silent dead. Uo is laid within his narrow grave and ’ very little said. But if a man is worth a million when he falls to draw tits breath, You will read it in the papers Unit he worked himself to death. -— «r—.— —— Wants Ads Pay.

| SENT UP A PLEA FOR HELP| Sailors, Imprisoned in Submarine, Tol- I ephoned Their Appeals to Rescuers at Surface. The Mingoa le one of the submarine flotilla stationed at Libau On a Saturday several weeks ago It was out for exercise in the neighborhood of the lightship off Libau, with its full crew of 19 meu under the command of Lieu- | tenant Garsoev, and as usual a tender 1 was present during the maneuvers, writes a St. Petersburg correspondent of the Seattle Railway News. The Mingoa, which was apparently proceeding either well on to the surface, or just awash, was suddenly discov- | ered by those on the tender to take I a plunge In somewhat abnormal sash- | ion, throwing its stern well into the I air For some time it was not sup- ! posed any accident had happened, and the return of the submarine to the surface was expected, but the appearance of the emergency buoy gave the alarm These buoys not only serve precisely to locate the whereabouts of a sunken submarine, but are fitted with a tel- | ephonic apparatus, enabling the crew to communicate with the upper air. The moment the tender learned by these means what had happened, it steamed off to the lightship, which telegraphed the news of the disaster to the dockyard headquarters at Libau The accident happened at three o’clock in the afternoon, but owing, it would seem, to the disposal of the men on a Saturday, the message was not acted on for several hours, and it was not until nine o’clock at night that the salvage vessels reached the spot. The weather conditions remained happily favorable, and divers having fixed the lifting chains, the Mingoa was successfully brought to the surface by midnight, having be n nine hours at the bottom of thi s'a. When the after hatch was opened three men staggered out, barely able to crawl. Fifteen of the crew and the captain were got out unconscious from the | after part of the vessel. There re-1 mained only the coxswain, who was in the conning tower amidships. It was necessary to raise the submarine well out of the water to get at the conning tower, and this took another three hours’ work, but the coxswain, when released after 12 hours' confinement was in the best condition of any of the crew. Ciock to Jog the Memory. A “memory” ciock is about the new-1 est thing in timepieces, according to Playthings. This clock does not differ I in appearance from an ordinary • lock excepting that around the outside rim I of the dial there are holes so placed that there are four of them between every hour sign. They are marked 14, Iz, 94, and a star, the latter being directly opposite the hour. With the clock is furnished a num her of small brass plugs, the purpose I of which is this: W hen one of them is placed in one of the holes mentioned,! say at a point where it marks a quar | ter after one, the clock will makp at distinct buzzing noise, loud enough tc attract attention, at exactly that time, regardless of how many other plugs there are in the clock. The value of j such a clock to a business man car. I scarcely be overestimated. As soon as he arrives at his desk he can plug up the clock in accordance with his ap pointments and other matters which have to be attended to at definite times After the clock has been plugged he can proceed to work and forg<J all about his appointments. At the first call of the buzzer he knows that a certain matter is due for his attention, which he may promptly forget after it is attended to, sure in the knowledge that the clock will watch out for his other appointments. Th# Troublesome Postscript. Some years ago a well-known Indiana, politician, who was a member of the national committee of Bis party, wrote to an active political worker in a.distant part of the state, to give him timely directions concerning the campaign then in progress. The politicians secretary was absent, so he wrote the letter himself, although he knew his handwriting was as hard tc decipher as that of Horace Greeley. A week later his correspondent visited Indianapolis, and came to see the politician. ’ Did you get my letter? Could you read it?” asked the politician. I didn't have any trouble with it, except the postscript,” said the other man. "That stuck me. I showed it to everybody in town. They could all read the letter, but no one could make out the jiostscript." The man drew the letter from hie pocket and handed it to the politician, who gave it a quick glance. ’■Heavens!" he exclaimed. "The postscript says. ’Don’t let anyone ser this letter.’ " —Youth's Companion. Rather Personal. It was the season of Lent, and the vicar of a certain village chureh was solemnly and impressively exhorting his congregation to self-examination, abstinence, and repentance.

Unfortunately he felt sleepy, and yawned at a very critical and impressive part of the minister’s sermon.
