is about as great, only third OF the
wheat needed for consumption being pro-

But even these figures do not give full

per cent of 1t was consumed not merely
In tht country, nor even in the State, but

consumed. In Wisconsin 70 per cent and

1t Is we'll to understand the mutual de-

1t Is to the interest Of the whole country
that the farmer should be prosperous. 1t
would be poor economy for the people who
do not raise wheat to have cheap bread at
tho cost Of the bankruptcy and beggary of
those who do. But we should not deceive
ourselves with the idea that such pros
perity as the farmers may gain from dear
wheat is drawn exclusively or principally
from foreign pockets. In some cases the
foreigner pays the tax, but as rule this

Half dazed, his Jaw broken, his face a

the two lower classes. In the struggle
some one put his heel on Kurtzs face, and
as result he is disfigured for life. and
may have sustained an injury of the brain.
An examination showed that a piece Of
flesh had been torn from one nostril tho
upper lip hung only by shred and the
ragged nature of the tear made the in
jury the more serious. All the front teeth
were gone. Four teeth had been knocked
out of the lower jaw, in which they had
been imbedded, and part OF the bone was
broken out with them Both the upper and
lower jaws We're smashed and the flesh
of all the face crushed and bleeding There
were two other serious casualties. Frank
Marshal, freshman, had his right leg
broken just above the ankle. Another
freshman named Conlon came out of the
combat with broken leg also.
