no guarantee that some weak chested
individual, with ore lung gone and the
other going, can do the same. This is
ihe mistake that some physical
wrecks are making. Their ambition
is commentaries; their effort is de-
plorable." Ii is well to be thus re-
minded that the question has two
sides; but that does not alter the fact
that necessarily, and properly, its deci-
sion must rest with the person chiefly
concerned. Perhaps the poor student
feels that in going to college he makes
the best possible use of his "one

The statistician of the Department
of Agriculture has prepared report on
the wheat situation, which indicates
that there Will be no material cheaper
ing of wheat until another crop is in
sight. During the past six years the
United States has exported annually an
average of 166 900, 900 bushels of wheat.
During the same period the European
product has averaged about 1.400 .O00,-
900 bushels. This year, according. to
expert estimates, the European crop is
about 100,000,000 bushels under that
average. To make up this deficiency
little help can come from India, Argen-
tina or Australasia. and Europe's in
creased imports must be drawn mainly
from the United States.
