WORLD WHEAT CROP.
United states Leads with "a ,67O,-
900 Bushels.

Estimates OF the worlds wheat croI
show grand total not far from three
and one-quarter billion bushels. which
ought to be enough to give every man
woman and child in the wo:ld at least
a few slices of white bread. The crop
is divided among "a countries and de-
tendencies.
The United States heads the list with
64l go 900 bushels. Russia is a fairly
close second with 555, 100000 bushels
and France third with 34S $50, 900
bushels.
The smallest yield reported is that Of
Norway. 100000 bushels. Reports
from South Africa, Paraguay and Bra
zil, 1t is stated, have not been received
! The total for the wor d will be nearly
SOC, 1000, 900 bushels less than last years
yield. But even so, the sum total is
staggering one.
And yet there are thousands upon
thousands of people who will not see
a piece OF white bread made from this
years crop. There are thousands in
deed who do not see piece of white
bread from one years end to another.
There ,s Russia, for example, the
second nation in the list of wheat
growers. The poor in Russia are
proverbialIy the poorest people in the
world. They toll from dawn of day
until night at the hardest kind of la
Dor but they enjoy mighty few of the
fruits of their work. With all their

thousands of Russians will die of
starvation.

of the statue is on exhibition 1t is
the work of Albert Jaegers. of New
York, German-American sculptor to
whom the award was given over a
large number of competitors.
1t was considered a graceful act to
limit the competitors for the honor of
doing the work to German Americans,
because of the nationality of the reyO-
lutiOnary soldier whose fame was to
be cOmmemorated. Every design that
was submitted, it is said, was of un-
usual excellence, and the task of de-
Gliding among them was difficult.
The statue of Lafayette, which
stands at one corner of the square
that bears his name. is not an eQues-
trian statue, and for this reason no
other OF the memorials III the same
park, save one, will represent mounted
men. The horse necessarily was elimI
mated from the Rochambeau memo
rial because the second Frenchman to
be honOred with representation In La

At the fourth corner of the park
statue of Pulaski Will be greeted in a

memorials which it is intended to put
in place, for the park is a, small one.
