te a calamity for a situation to arise that would discourage the farmer to a greater extent than prevails new. All need food, whether we live in the city or the country, and from th farm that food must come primarily. Those who live in urban communities cannot charg high prices for what they produce and expect to buy the products cf rural communities at a low price. Some seem to possess that Idea, but It is entirely erroneous. Much has been said about the figure fixed In the wheat guarantee as too high, but it is altogether probable that higher prices would have prevailed, had that action not been taken. It Is not profitable to argue about what might have been, but it Is net beside the question to remark that the farmers who grow wheat are entitled to a price that yields a profit whether it is higher or lower than the guarantee.

The Passing Show

, PS

PROSPERITY AHEAD Pessimists, who have been predicting "dull times" will be disappointed. Our economic needs are too great to think of doubtful conditions at this time. Unfilled orders fcr steel continue to mount, railroads need equipment involving the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars, a coal shortage threatens, tens of thousands of houses are needed to provide shelter fcr the people. "What is needed now, more than anything else, is a 6afe and sane course between capital and labor. With that assured this nation will make great strides industrially In the coming months. A stabilizing influence is certain to be felt as a result of the recent price cutting movement. The future looks so roseate as to leave no rrom for doubt or pessimism.

WHEAT CROP AND FLOUR PRICE. The department of agriculture forecases a spring wheat crop of 277,000.000 bushels, an increase of 6S.000.000 over last year's yield. The prospect for the winter wheat crop is reported also improved over last month's condition to the extent of 19,000,000 bushels, though the outlook is still for a yield much less than that of cne year ago. The fact that the forecast presents a more favorable prospect should have the effect of preventing any great increase in the price, though the bettered condition may not be great enough to force the figures lower. It has recently been contended by an economist who claims to be an authority that the high cost of wheat is the foundation of the general inflation of prices. Yheher this is true is merely a matter of opinion. However, it is true that wheat is nothigher inprcportion than other commodities. Is present price in relation to its price at one time four or five years ago is much less, while that cannot be said of any other staple In general use. Whether the price of flour and other wheat products are cut of proportion to the price of the grain from w'hich made we are unable to determine. That would have to be sought in a knowledge of the cost of milling and the other factors that enter into the cost of production. In the interest of the reduced cost cf living it is to be hoped that wheat will decline in price, but it cannot be expected to do so if other commodities do not follow suit. If wheat at the price it brought under the war guarantee returns no great profit, the farmers will restrict the area, should the price decline to a point where less profit is obtained. Unless the cost of labor, which has been rising generally since the wheat price was fixed at a stationary point, the fertilizer and the farm machinery all drop, it is entirely unreasonable to expect any marked decline in the wheat price. And it would

HER WISH FULFILLED What emotions must have been the former Empress Eugenie's during the last few years of her life! Living to be more than !4 years of age, the widow of Napoleon III witnessed strange happenings in Europe. Her wish, when her husband was defeated by Germany niore than half a century ago. was to see France triumphant over the nation which despoiled her. And she lived to see France and her allies dictating terms of peace to the nation which once so deeply humbled her.

THE FATE OF STEPHENS What shall be said cf the fate of Stephens, who plunged to his death over N'lagara Falls in a barrel? He took a gambler's chance with death and lost, but what was the incentive that Induced him to take so great a risk? Success, at best, could have meant but a brief pose in the limelight as a popular hero, with perhaps a few lucrative lecture engagements, movie contracts or copyrights. He failed, and a wife and 11 children are loft alone. Stephens gave his life in quest of a selfish purpose, taking a "chance", like millions of others who take their lives on a similar goal. Nothing. of good to mankind could have come from success of his venture. Unlike the feats of the explorer, who dares Arctic ice or the flyer who soars to new heights in a fragile plane, no scientific knowledge of value to the wcrld could have been obtained from the risk he took. Many a man, who met death in a less spectacular way, is remembered as a hero, because he risked his life for the common good. Win or lose, the man whe risks for himself alone is soon forgotten.

THE TWO REASONS It Is not denied that there are two reasons why Gov. Cox was brought to the fore in the democratic party. A New York paper explains them. He was nominated at San Francisco because his home is in Ohio and his principles are moist. There were no other reasons. Mr. Cox has not been closely associated with the administration, like McAdoc, Palmer. Davis. Glass and Cummings. In consequence he received the support of those who are hostile to the administration. He is nominated upon a platform which gives effusive endorsement to all that the administration has done and there is nothing in his habit to indicate that he will repudiate any part of it. But he has been associated

with no part of the nation's history of which the plat- never yet
