wish. or else seem rude. said Mrs.
Lawton, mOurnfully, as they set out for
the first dinner"
To their growing surprise the bill or
fare placed before them at each dinner,
although not remarkably varied, was
composed Of such dishes as they could
both enjoy.
Il don't see how you all hit on JUS
the right things. when Mr.. LawJOn and
T really are such difficult guests said
Mrs. I.awton. in burst Of confidence

The ladies looked at each other, and

WILSON PREDICTS
A BUMPER" CROP
Thinks Ground This Year
Should Give Record
Yield.

Secretary Wilson says We ought to
have a bumper crop th uughOut the
country this fail All the conditions are
favorable for recOrd-breaking yields Of
all sorts Of crops, and, unless some
thing happens to head of Mother Ma
lures industry between now and the
time the grains and fruits and vege-
tables are ripe, the farmers from
Maine to California ought to be rolling
in plenty before the snow flies.
'Of course, there is no way OF telling
what viii happen IN the line of weather
10 hurt the crops. bur present indica-
tons point TO bumper crops all over
the country said Secretary Wilson to-
day.
VIII the prices Of edibles continue TO
be high2'' the Secretary was asked.
"Of course they viii; they are bound
to be high" replied Secretary Wilson.
The reason IS easy 20 ind. The popu-
lation OF the country has increased
faster than the crop acreage. The num-
Der OF men that have gone into business
and manufacturing pursuits is far
greater than the number that have
taken up farming But there need be
no general alarm on that account. The
problem will adjust itself IN time. ana
we will always raise enough wheat TO
feed all the mouths IN this country"
