War on Bachelors.

The recent manifesto of Mrs. Charlotte
Smith against the bachelor politician was
the subject Of much attention from the
Woman's Rescue League Of Boston Satur-
day. As result set of resolutions was
passed setting forth that "the American
bachelor politician shirks his duty to the
human family when he fails to provide a
home for some good woman before he en-
cages in the profession Of politics. There
fore he Is not to be trusted after he has
entered political arena in which tempta-
tons surround him on all sides. I'm
fortunately modern society has heretofore
given the political bachelor too much lati.
tude by ignoring his private life.''

WORLD WHEAT SHORTAGE.

Figures Point TO . Deficiency OF
Fourteen Million Quarters.
The Mark Lane Express, London, re-
viewing the crop situation says: The
French wheat crop Is estimated at 81 900, :
600 quarters by the French press. Cor
respondents OF English business firms state
that the crop will amount to 5000, 900 to
80, M0, 900 quarters. II this is true it adds
greatly to the gravity OF the situation.
The American crop, estimated by careful
judges, will be IS. SCI. 900 quarters, or H.
000, 900 quarters improvement, to Offset a
decline Of 10000 quarters IN Russia and
5000, 900 to IL, 1000 900 quarters In France.
All figures therefore point to deficiency
in the worlds supply OF IA, oo0, 900 quarters.
