BooKwalter's Vietos.

After a 2,000-mile bicycle trip through Southern Europe, John W. Bookwalter, the eminent American economist and author, is convinced that there is trouble for the world in the higher prices for grain. He is also convinced after closely studying the peasantry of Europe that a crisis is imminent between the urban and rural populations of the United States. After traversing Italy from end to end, and after crossing the Apennines, Mr. Bookwaiter predicts a great struggle between the agricultural districts and the cities, particularly in the United States.
