The Wheat Crop and Prosperity The winter wheat crop of 837,000,000 bushels on a $2.26 basis will bring the farmers of this country $1,891,620,000. The department of agriculture predicts that the spring wheat crop will run from 225,000,000 to 300,000,000 bushels, for which the farmer, under the bill passed by congress at the last session, will also receive the difference between the guaranteed price of $2.26 a bushel and the world market price. The demands of the United States are estimated at 650,000,000 bushels. With the spring wheat production estimated between 225,000,000 and 300,000,000 bushels, it is estimated that the surplus available for export will be about 450,000,000t bushels. The winter wheat estimate is double the yearly average production in the United States for the five years before the war and nearly 50 per certt larger than the production during the war years from 1914 to 1918. The prospect of a prosperous year in the business and industrial spheres of the United States was never brighter. The unprecedented return which the farmers will receive for their wheat . will be marked in all channels of trade and will i of necessity redound to the welfare of the whole j nation. The hope of many consumers that the price of food will be materially reduced is without foundation. The chances are that the price level will remain not far from where it is now. The ! demand for food all over the world will be heavy, because food stocks have been depleted. The : large surplus which before" the war was held in the warehouses of the world has been exhausted. Little relief can be expected from crops in the European countries. The great wheat region of Russia probably will not produce enough wheat to support the starving millions of that country. The reconstruction work in the belligerent countries will not have progressed far enough to make their agricultural yield a factor in the food question. Economists tell us that by reason of the greatly increased amount of money in circulation, price levels will remain where thejj are for sometime.

Home Gardens Although considerable space has been devoted in this newspaper to the home garden movement, readers may not take it amiss if they are reminded again that a home garden is as profitable in times of peace as in war years. Every vegetable produced at home. on a strip of land which otherwise would remain uncultivated adds that mite to the national income, cuts clown demand on the market and helps reduce the price. This form of thrift in former years met with little response. The war year taught many a family the advantage of cultivating a garden., and incidentally contributed to the health of the persons who wielded the hoes and rakes. Thousands of dollars were added to the savings of Americans by the produce they raised at home. The garden movement obtained a firm foothold in Richmond. No city in the United States had as many school gardens in proportion to the enrollment as did Richmond. In fact, the record was almost perfect. The school authorities have provided a supervisor who intends to maintain this record. He will instruct the children and advise adults in methods and procedure. Home gardens should have a permanent place in our household economy. If persons cultivated them as a fad or to be in style last year, let them .convert the fad into a practice and remain in. style by diligently working their gardens this year.

The Victory Loan The amount to be raised in the Victory Liberty Loan campaign has been fixed at $4,500,000,000, a figure considerably less than was expected, and over-subscriptions will be rejected. The issue will take the form of 4 3-4 per cent three-four year convertible gold notes of the United States, exempt from state and local taxes, except estate and inheritance taxes, and from

' normal federal income taxes. The notes will be

convertible, at the option of the holder, throughout their life, into 3 3-4 per cent three-four year convertible gold notes of the United States, exempt from all federal, state and local taxes, except estate and inheritance taxes. In like manner, the 3 3-4 per cent notes will be convertible into the 4 3-4 per cent notes. The notes .of both' series will be dated and bear interest from May 20, 1919, and will mature on May 20, 1923. Interest will be payable on December 15, 1919, and thereafter semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, and at maturity. All or any of the notes may be redeemed before maturity at the option of the United States on June 15 or December. 15, 1922, at par and accrued interest. Russia's Need Says the Chicago Tribune: Russia has not been serving humanity. Humanity's problem is how to serve Russia. The Nansen commission, which has investigated, reports that starvation is taking thousands and thousands. The emotional instinct of the civilized world which has food is to ship it into Russia, feed the hungry, stop the starvation, and rescue the country, but the civilized world is entitled to ask what it will get in return. Russia just now is potentially a greater danger to the peace of the world than Germany ever was. It is agitated and governed, so far as it is governed, by men whose social scheme is altogether antagonistic to the social scheme of the civilized world. Tartars, Malay pirates, old Scandinavian berserkers, the old Huns, could not do as much damage to social order, to human life, and ways of life as the bolshevists have done. They are aggressive. They know that either their social order or our social order must be destroyed. They intend that ours shall be destroyed. They are realistic, tricky, unscrupulous. They have established their ideas in Russia and Russian starvation is their work. They would establish their ideas everywhere and starvation everywhere would result. What will the world get if it follows its instinct and relieves and rescues Russia? Will it merely strengthen the opponent for a more vicious attack upon order? Will it prevent the Russians from arising, in their desperation, against their murderous and violent governors? Will it merely increase the sum of human suffering by relieving Russian suffering? We demand guaranties, not in cold blooded bargaining but in consideration for the greater claims of humanity generally. If we rescue

Russia we must demand that Russia cease toi

threaten the security of the world. It will not be humane to strengthen Russia for a spread of atrocity and incompetence, false social theory, and violent revolution producing disaster all over the world. We cannot sanely give strength to a social maniac, put bread in one of his hands, and allow him to retain a bloody club in the other, give him new strength and full liberty to use it. If Russia wants help from the civilized family of nations let Russia indicate that it is willing to live in peace with the family of nations. The world's instinct, we know it is the American instinct, is to be generous even prodigal in its assistance. But the greater humanity must be served.

When Did First Session of Court Meet Here?

The records of the first court ever held In Wayne county, were very simple In contrast to the massive volumes in which are recorded every action of the courts of today. They consisted of "half a quire of English paper, shaped into something like a school writing book without a cover." They record that th3 first court was held shortly after the formation of the county, on February 23, 1811, at the house of Richard Rue, three miles south of Richmond. The judges were Peter Flemming, Aaron Martin and Jeremiah Meek; George Hunt was clerk, John Turner, sheriff, and James Noble, prosecuting attorney. The first business of th court was to divide the county into two townships and appoint constables and overseers of the poor for these two districts. . David Railsback and John Shaw Vere made overseers, for one district, Abraham Gaar, John Collins and Lewis Little, fence viewers; William Foutz, Nathaniel McClure and Robert Hill viewers for the second district, and David Galbraith and George Smith, overseers. A committee to adjust the accounts of the poor overseers was composed of David Carson, Timoihy Hunt, Samuel Jobe, Jaeob Meek, Elijah Fisher and George Holman. The court seal was made of a "wafer and a piece of paper turned over it, with the letters Wayne County written upon it " The first court term lasted but one day.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK THE WHIP One of the most Inhuman Inventions ever brought out Is the Whip. For In Itself It is an expression ot Ignorance and Egotism. Used on human beings the Whip merely rouses the most dormant and the most bitter hatred. And when used on dumb animals it kills every confidence that they are capable of expressing. I always feel like fighting when I see a man abuse a dumb animal, such as whipping a horse. That's about the only time I teel that the Whip was a good Invention after all that Is, if somebody would use the Whip on the fellow who Whips the horse! More people have been literally (for Instance to borrow the misused term) Whipped on through Love, than through any other agency ever created. Get the confidence of a child and nothing else is necessary. You will both teach and lead him. Get the affection, even of a dumb animal, Mke a dog or a horse; and gentleness and kindness will do more than all the Whips in creation. ' To use a Whip on a child or on a dumb beast Is a confession In Itself of the low organized character of the man or-woman. Let's invent a few new Whips. We are civiBzed enough now for that. And let's call them Love Whips Kindness Whips Thoughtfulness Whips. It doesn't matter what special Whip along this line you select so long as you use It.

The Housing Demand

Good Evening! By ROY K. MOULTON

Some one has said that at last the j

sea has been made safe for Annette Kellerman and her mermaid movies.

JUST A MOMENT Dear Roy Will you please explain

the League of Nations in your column ;

to decide a bet? H. W., Yonkers, N. Y. Now Listen: We have lived forty years of our life and we figure that at the best we liaven't more than forty to go. We havejust decided to retire and live on our income. Would it be right to ask us to spend our remaining forty years explaining the League of Nations? In all fairness, we ask you. The best we can have is a column a day, and by the closest figuring it Would take 117 volumes of this newspaper to get away with the job, and then we wouldn't know whether to give the French, English, Belgian, Italian or American ve-sion. We thank H. W. for the compliment and for endowing us with supernatural powers, but, really to tell the truth, we don't know a darn thing about it.

Two Americans visting London ent to see the fire station, and seeing one of the firemen, said: "Do you know, in America we use a nine-inch hose for fires, not a skinny three-inch like you have?" "Oh," replied the fireman, "we only use this for washing out the station. This," he said (holding up a 2-inch hose, "is what we use in case of fires. When we want to send a man to the top of a building, we place him on the hose, turn on the water, and he's up there in no time." "Ah!" said one of the Americans, "but how does he come down?" "Well," said the lireman, "he puts bis arm around the jet of water and slides down."

'From the New York Times. t -T NEMPLOYMENT and unprecedented demand for I J housing accommodations have focused the publie attention upon the building industry. When fhe need is so great, why are not houses being built? Lack of confidence in the continuance of present high prices is the answer. The builder is afraid to begin, the lender on bond and mortgage is afraid to lend on the present cost of production, and the outside investor, though beginning to be tempted by the attractive returns offered by some buildings, does not dare to put his money Into new construction. The general opinion seems to be that in a period of five years the cost of building will decline to some level not "as low as in pre-war times, but lower than at present. But what of next year? Will it cost less to build iicxt year? On this point there appears to be a change la the view held by many even as late as a month ago. There Is a constantly growing feeling that it will cost jnoro to build next year. Professor Fisher, in a recent publication of the Department of Labor, discussing the new level of prices in all commodities, says that those Articles for which there has been a great wartime demand may be expected to come down in price during the coming year; on the other hand, other commodities, such a3 building material, may be expected to go up. At the present time material dealers, many of them, are willing to sell at relatively low prices to "start the hall a-rolling." Subcontractors on all the different kinds of work that go to make up the modern building are willing to work practically at cost to find employment fcr their organizations. When building becomes active when

materials are sold and contractors secure employment, reasonable profits may be hoped for. With evictions increasing in number, hardship frequent, and discomfort and increased expense general, is new building to reman dormant until all the doubts cf all the doubters as to the permanence of present prices me dispelled? Cannot reserves be set up from rents to protect new buildings against possible future losses in capital value? Is there no economic, no business solution? Is loss inevitable? Must we wait until rents reach such levels that the present hardships are doubled before capital can be tempted into building? The problem before the building industry is essentially the same as before industry in general. -Prices cannot go up forever. Business can be and is done upon a declining market, though it is true the business world prefers a rising one. There is one point of difference in favor of building which must be borne in mind. There has been' relatively little wartime inflation in building; recessions in prices, therefore, if they come, will be correspondingly less, and the Remand for the product of the builder has never been greater. Organized effort on the part of the business community, merchants, manufacturers, and bankers, should be made at once to break the deadlock now existing Leadership is needed. The scarcity of housing is countrywide; the business interests in the Middle West are grappling with the need and by co-operation are providing homes for their people. New York is growing must grow it cannot stand still. The best brains of the community should concentrate on a prompt solution of how, at once, to provide more housing.

Money or Your Life

It is bad enough to be held up and robbed of your money and your watch. But to allow waste matter to be "held up" in your intestines may be far more serious. You can get mor money; you can buy another watch. You may never be able to get youtf health back. Constipation is th "hold-up" man of the human system-. The food waste it holds up In yout lower intestines decays and generates poisons. A poisoned system is the) result. Over ninety per cent of human ill ness has Its origin in the intestinal canal. Nature normally tries to get rid df this poisonous waste. But whet she can't do the work single-handed, you must help her in her own way.

YES, S. S. S. IS PURELY VEGETABLE NATURE'S SAFE BLOOD TREATMENT

Known for 50 Years as the Best Remedy for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, ' Skin Diseases Scientists have discovered that ths forest and the field, are abundantly supplied with vegetation of various kinds, that furnish the ingredients for making a remedy, for practically every ill and ailment of mankind. Medicines made from roots, herbs anil barks which Nature has placed at the disposal of man, are better than strong mineral mixtures and concoctions. Mineral medicines work dangerously on the delicate parts of the system, especially the stomach and bowels, by eating out the lining membrane, producing . chronic dyspepsia

and often entirely ruining the health. S. S S. is made entirely of gentlescting, healing, purifying roots, herb3 and barks, possessing properties that build up all parts of the system, in addition to removing all impurities and poisons from the blood. S. S. S. is a safe treatment for Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Blood Poison, and all disorders of the blood. It cleanses the entire system and it's permanent. Get S. S. S. at any drug store today. It is a standard remedy recognized everywhere as the greatest blood antidote ever discovered.

Bvra chronic casea of 20 to SO yeara standing;, frith profuse bleeding, have been completely cured In from three to ten daya. No discovery of recent years In the field of medicine has caused such a stir amongst the medlcs.1 profession as the recent discovery that piles can be successfully treated and cured at home by a wonderful prescription known to druggists as Mlro Pile Remedy, i It has been proved that so called external remedies applied or inserted into the rectum cannot cure piles and at the best only grlve temporary relief. This is also true of surgical operations which simply remove them after formation, but In no wise acts on the source of the trouble. ' This prescription, although taken internally. Is not digested in the stomach, but is rapidly passed on unchanged to the intestines in. a short time, reaching the exact place where by its soothing, healing action, it first allays all

Inflammation and then by direct con tact with all ulcers and piles, cause them to heal and disappear forever, j It's positively marvelous how apoada ily It acts.

The author of this amaxlng discover desires all sufferers to know that h does not wa.nt a cent of anyone' money unless Mlro Pile Remedy decisively con quers even In the worst cases and h has Instructed druggists all over thj country to guarantee it In every C8.c of blind, bleeding or protruding pllea.
