Every item of information touching
the food supply situation in the east as
given out in the dispatches, but adds to
the interest centered there. Added to
the short crop reports from different
parts of the continent comes the report
that the bread crops in Great Britain
have been cut short by adverse weather
conditions. Ordinarily this would have
little effect upon the worlds supply or
the market prices of bread stutfs, but
with such supply short by at least two
months without counting the English
failure, this last, small as it is in COM
parison with the total product of the
world, it cannot fail to emphasize the
almost unprecedented advantage that
the American producers fiud themselves
possessed Of There is no longer room
to doubt that America, the United
States, is master of the situation as to
prices. With the balance of the world
short and the United States the only
country with a surplus, and that not
equal to the probable demand by one
third, there is no reason why the pro-
ducers here may not get what they de-
mand.

Beautiful Land of Oklahoma.

1t is picturesque country. From the
summit of the great red earth cliffs of
the Canadian one may look over great
breadths of woodland and miles of roll
ing prairie, with here and there stretches
and clumps of trees-upon scenes of
such beauty that even the stolid Choc-
taws and Chickasaws, as they gazed
thereon, exclaimed Oklahoma" i. e.,
''lovely country" 1t is said that when
once a boomer was able to enter the
land and locate a claim, he never aban-
doned the effort to secure it, but waited,
as best he could, until noon OF that day,
April 2S, 1899. when the last barrier was
removed. and then joined in the most
remarkable race the world ever saw-a
race between thousands of men on foot.

Canada's Growing Debt.
~, ,ha axw Eu1iaud Marayiua

from the New England hAsA<ine-
The rapid. the startling growth of the
debt of Canada, which has increased
from SIS, 209, 742 in 1870, to 1926, 600. zoe
in 1890. with a population almost at a
standstill and stagnant trade, has
struck calm, impartial observers with
the idea that there has been something
wrong in the government of peaceful
young state Of enormous extent and great
natural resources. OF course, a large
portion of this debt was incurred for the
construction of railways. Improvements
of canals, and similar political and COM
mercial works; but the results or returns
do not compensate for the vastness of
the new debt. with its oppressive load Of
interest. They freely comment upon
the fact that while the United States
have reduced their debt from $50 To
S16 90 per head in twenty years Canada
has run up hers from 81 to $47.

Once there roamed over the fertile
fields of Kansas an ugly dwarf named
Ten Cent Corn" He was an uninvit-
ing and repulsive creature, but most
amOruus nevertheless, and proposed an
intrigue with each of the maidens,
"Plenty" and Prosperity" but they ran
away from him and would have nothing
to do with him. However, he finally
formed liaison with an old hag called
"Shiftless," who was willing to do any
thing to change her condition. AS re-
suit Of the liaison a child was born, which
they named Calamity Howler." 1t
grew amazingly fast, and soon became
as big as Goliath, and being endowed
with all the characteristics of its parents
it did no act that was not fraught with
evil to the land whereon it was born. So
great nuisance did it become that the
people began to look around for a David
to go out and slay the monster, and they
found him in the person of dollar

New Orleans to Minneapolis, MINI IS cents
BY taking up the United States map,
one can readily see the correct location
of these cities from New Orleans; and by
comparing the rates, see very plainly the
bold discrimination made against Kan

1t is claimed that the so cent rate is
made because there is a Missouri river
which is used as a basing point: and so
Kansas City. Omaha and Sioux City are
given that rate. Lincoln, Neb., is not a

Of the Missouri river, longer distance
