Wagner Weekly Review.

The fixed $2.20 1917 wheat price suggests that corn at $1.05 to $1.15 and oats 50c to 55c are comparatively cheap. U. S. 1917 wheat crop guesses are raised to around 675,000,000. North American surplus may be 245,000,000. European grain news again suggests alarming scarcities in central and northern Europe in early 1918. Russian shortage also indicated. French news claims very little corn used in their bread mixtures. Argentina old grain ' raserves very light and not a factor. Embargo to neutrals only a slight food factor. War news suggests peace be delayed until 1918. Oats crop looks enormous at 1,600 millions, but 150 of this may go to substitute old corn, tac. Oats visible due to gain very slowly owing to car demand and exports and empty bins at home. Summer weather recalls 1863, 1866 and 1902 when much soft corn. Forty per cent of the west is afraid of soft corn. Crop promise is 3,200 to 3,350 million bushels. Soft corn feeds live stock but does not fatten. Record merchantable corn crop of 2,650,000,000 was raised in 1912. The 5 year average is about 2,200,000,000.

Assuming a heavy soft corn crop the danger in presuming on higher corn levels lies in the possible 10 p. c. reduction in U. S. hog and cattle feeding (due to marketing off) and the record silo crop. The crop for silo storage will be terrific and suggests reduced corn use. Also, the U. S. may raise 2,650 million merchantable corn despite the late crop. Nov. 1 record low corn reserves of 40 or 50 millions are indicated (10 year average 95,000,000 due to the very low 1913 and 1916 crop average sos only 2,150,000,000 merchantable corn each year. In comparison, a 1917 merchantable corn crop of 2,650,000,000 would be very large—would mean immense ease at terminals. . ( Soft com fears, though embracing a large per cent of the crop are thus secondary to the size of that portion of the crop that “makes.” The poundage of soft corn for feeding will also be a consideration. The “successful corn south” may . ship north but such quantities can be ignored. The size of the 1917 merchantable corn crop is the thing.

HOLIDAY IN GREECE

Hellenes’ Food Good But Their Dancino Is Monotonous. Men, Women and Children Take Part In the Celebration With No ' Trace of Joviality. It is perhaps the only advantage of being at Saloniki that you can spend two separate Christmases there. Thus it happened that, 13 days after we had eaten our own plum puddings in the mess, we rode away romantically across the mountains for a Christmas day in a Macedonian village, says a writer in the London Times. The cavalcade consisted of three Englishmen—one of them a cosmopolitan genius speaking Greek like his mother tongue —Petros, a Greek orderly and a leading citizen of our village. We sat on pack saddles not unlike "armchairs, with rope stirrups. The reins are a hollow mockery, their only purpose being to affront the pony and make him sulk. Hang them carelessly on the saddle and the surefooted little beast will find his way along the most blood-curdling paths, where deep ravines full of bowlders await the smallest slip. At the end of a pass we emerged into a great plain and saw our village before us amid vineyards and fig trees. We fired a salvo of revolver shots into the air to announce our arrival and were soon shaking hands with a number of men in dark blue-black braided Eton jackets and dark baggy trousers.

Petros was politely determined that we were to lunch with him and soon we were in his house reclining on lovely striped rugs of red, black and yellow and watching the sparks from a wood fire fly up a big chimney. Before lunch, however, came a ceremony which is inevitable on entering any house. The daughter of the house brings a tray on which are small glasses of home-made brandy, an equal number of glasses of water, and a dish of sweet stuff—Turkish delight, chocolates, or in one case, unequivocally British marmalade to be eaten with a spoon. The guest stands up, takes a glass of brandy, drinks It and says “Cheer oh.” Next he takes a sip of water, and last a sweet. After the cognac and the Turkish coffee came lunch. Soup of tripe, rice and vinegar, followed by a duck. The duck had rice with it and a touch of garlic. Of all ducks this was the most palpably divine ever eaten. Then followed dancing in the market place. The market place Is an irregular open space with the invariable plane tree. The spectators gather in the corner*, leaving the middle clear for the dancers, who are divided into two groups. One of these groups revolves slowly round a barrel organ decorated with artificial flowers and grinding out one never ending tune. First come half a dozen young men,' r theiF hands on each other’s shoulders. Next, hand in hand, some twenty or more women with maroon-colored draperies round their heads, dark blue bodices and skirts, and large aprons of vivid scarlet crossed with bars of a darker red and fringed with tassels of bright color. Round their necks are strings of gold coins—dowries to be handed on from mother to daughter, big, thin Magyar coins * mostly, though one woman has a brooch of three English sovereigns. Next to the women come the children, tailing away to the very tiniest little girl, each resplendent in her tiny red apron. The leader performs a very simple step; his Immediate neighbors imitate it, but further down the line the step becomes a mere shuffle, and so they go round and round forever silently and steadily, not apparently bored, but with no trace of joviality. The other group consists of older men who dance far more elaborately l with turnings and twistings and duckings and snapping of fingers. Their leader is a fine, tall fellow with a fierce black mustache and a red sash. He waves a bottle in one hand, assumes poses of humorously exaggerated grace, and has altogether a- debonair and swashbucklering way With him. Having been to America he proudly shouts, “Merry Christmas I Happy New Year.”

A Pew Complainer Answered.

Deacon Jones decided to speak bls mind to the minister who was temporarily filling the pulpit. “I didn’t like your prayer very much this morning,” said he. “No?” answered the minister. “And what was the matter with itr “Well, in the first place, it was too long; and, aside from this, it contained two or three expressions which I thought were scarcely warranted.” "I am sorry, deacon,” the good man responded, “but it might be well to bear in mind that the prayer wasn’t addressed to you.”—Liverpool Post

Keeping a Family.

The New York city bureau of personal service says that the best an unskiUed laborer’s family can hope to do at present is to live on $980.41 a year, as against $884.94 for the year 1915. The “family” with which the report deals consists of five members, father, mother, a girl of ten and two boys, thirteen and six years old. Food costs have Increased SIOO in a year, it is remarked. The report Is to be used as a basis for salary increases for laborers in the employ of the city, and Ms ■pedal reference to the street-cleaning department employees. - • '

AN ARIZONA POILU

Frenchman Makes Interesting Discovery in Redskin’s Cabin. Learns Story of How Son of Hopi Indian Squaw Crossed Great Water to Fight for His Father's People. It is in order to sell their products to a passing public that the Hopi Indians, one of the tribes of Arizona, the most marked for its nobleness and dignity of type, have established at the station of the Grand canyon a sort of shop, furnished within, as it is modeled without, after the manner of their dwellings of the desert, Anatole le Braz w*rites in The Outlook. Cubes of rough adobe, placed side by side or superimposed one on the other, constitute the abode, and serve as home for several families, who wait here, in the habitual attitude of taciturn and melancholy disdain, the line of white visitors. When I had penetrated into the first room, dinrty lighted by a small opening high up in the wall, it was some time before I was able to discern in the half-catacomb light the indistinct figure of a woman seated on the bare earth, before a screen of vertical threads, among which her fingers, moving in and out, were weaving the pattern of a mysterious design. My entrance did not cause her to raise her head. But I disturbed in his musing an old bronze sachem, who indicated by a gesture a collection of objects, more or less rude, ranged on shelves the length of one of the walls or partitions, while from half open lips he muttered In English the customary salutation: “You’re welcome, sir,” which manifestly to his mind, being interpreted, meant:

“You are not worthy, O 1 paleface, to appreciate the work of our but because times are hard for the deposed rulers of the prairie we accord you nevertheless the privilege to buy.” In response to his greeting I had begun to examine the display of articles, when my eye fell on a frame of colored straw in which I perceived the photograph of a. soldier. Approaching nearer, I exclaimed, in spite of myself: “God bless me, he is French!” It was quite true. There before my eyes, in the cabin of a redskin, thousands of miles from the battlefield, where at that very inoment, no doubt, he was fighting for his country, was the picture of one of our soldiers, in ♦he uniform of the daring Impetuous Chasseurs Alpins, or it may be of the foreign legion. To examine it better, I had taken it in my hands. “The frame alone is for sale,” interposed the old Indian, abruptly. '’“All right,” I said, “I will take it. But I should like to know how the picture found its way here.” He motioned toward the woman weaving. “It is that of my daughter’s son. He has sent it to us from the other side of the world.” “He is, then, in France?” “Yes.” “How is that?” “His father, a good miner, was born in the land of the French. When he came among us- he married that squaw. He died in the desert. But his spirit having spoken in the blood of his child, the boy has crossed the great water to fight the enemies of his father’s people.” I could not resist the temptation to take his hand. “Bravo!” I cried. And that he might pot be astonished at this somewhat brusque demonstration, if one could suppose that an Indian worthy the name ever could be astonished at anything, I hastened to add: “For I, too, am French.” •

The Busy Birds.

One form oTnational waste which is far more serious than the American people realize is a result of.the deplorable neglect to conserve bird life in this heedless and ungrateful country. Ornithologists and other Intelligent observers of nature who, have made a sturfy of the subject say with the sanction of crop experts that insects destroy one-tenth of the products of agriculture in the United States. Nearly all birds destroy insect life. The federal department of agriculture has found that among the birds 'which most effectively aid the farmers are phoebes, kingbirds, .catbirds, brown thrushes, rosebreasted grosbeaks, house wrens, vireos, native sparrows, cuckoos, orioles, warblers, shore larks, loggerhead shrikes and meadow larks. Even the crow and the crow blackbird, which have rested under suspicion so long, do more good than harm to the farmers. —Chicago News.

The People of India.

The population of Ifidia is far more diverse than is* generally thought. They talk about 150 different languages, and are divided up into 43 distinct nationalities. There are 2,387 main castes, besides a large number of subcastes. There are 200,000,000 Hindus, from which Great Britain can draw fighting men; 60,000.000 Mohammedans, while among the Hindus there are 50,000,000 of degraded people of no caste, whose touch, or even shadow, Is supposed to cause pollution.

THE GREAT CONQUEfIOR Glando Knows No Defeat When Given a Fair Chance. Mrs. E. A Roebuck, a lady 71 years •Id, of Latty, Ohio, says: “I had tried a great number of remedies but found no relief until I used (jiando Tonic. 1 had liver, kidney and heart trouble. I had a swelling, soreness and pain under my short ribe on my right side. ’I was constipated and was often distressed with a full or bloated feeling after eating. My heart would palpitate and I could feel pulsation all over my body. At other times my heart would be weak and T would feel faint. I was restless at nights and often awoke In a startled or frightened condition. Since I used Glando Tonic 1 am feeling so well that I have decided to let Glando be my doctor in the future.” Mrs. Roebuck’s illness was caused by self-poisoning. Her liver and kidneys were inactive, which caused poisonous matter to be retained In the body. Three poisons weakened the nervous system, retarded the digestion and affected the heart, the blood became impure and a general debilitated condition resulted. Glando Tonic Is especially adapted to meet •uoh conditions. It is the only preparation of its kind on the market and is guaranteed to give satisfaction.
