whelming, So vigorous have been the
objections that the attention Of the en-
tire kingdom has been attracted to the
subject, and the threats made by the
Ulster men Of armed resistance to the
proposed change have been warmly
seconded by unicnist members of par
lament, and have been re-echoed in
various other parts Of the empire.
When the situation is analyzed, how.
ever, il appears that a rather small
number Of people have been making
. great deal of noise. Ulster, it ap-
pears. is not SO strongly Protestant,
nor nearly SO unionist. as is often sup
posed. The last Irish census, III its
classification of the people by religious
faith. shows that the Catholic popula-
ton OF the province ranges from 20
per cent in county to about =. per
cent in another. with the rest scattered
along between. In several of the coun-
ties the Catholic population ranges
from 40 to SO per cent. 1t is also a
fact hat the wall against turning the
province over to the. Catholics is not

tant.
From all of this it appear that the
is much less serious than
1t appears on the surface, and that
the majority of the Ulster people are
really in favor of the plan OF an Irisl,
parliament for the government of Irish
affairs. The fear of religious persecu-
ton is a bugaboo which ought not to
frlshten anyone The home rule bill
makes ample provision for the pre-
lection of all persons in the exercise
Of their religious faith. and this is all
that can be asked anywhere.

H MISSING DIME

lbOSLON fOSl.)
Here is a little problem that may be
Of interest to some Of the younger
members Of the family as well as the
grownups.
An apple woman had two kinds of
apples on the stand, one being marked
three for a dime and the other two
for a dime. Presently a customer
came along who bought Ave for 90
cents, and then another did the same
thing.
Upon thinking the matter over the
apple woman concluded that she
would get rid of her stock more quick
ly that way. go she determined to put
the lot in at five for 20 cents.
Upon counting up her stock she
found she had just so of each kind.
SO she removed the two signs, mixed
The apples all up and put up the new
sign at the new price.
. At the II of the day, the stock be-
ing all sold, she found she had lost
10 cents by the transaction, but she
could not account for 1t, because she
argued that IL she could sell two APP
pies for a dime and three for q dime,
each lot to a different customer. she
could certainly afford to. sell the five
to n customer. : Wherein lies the
loss?

August crop report. A total produc-
ton of 1927 100000 bushels of corn
was predicted. This is 452,000,0O
bushels less than last years crop
The general condition of corn was
placed at 1873 per cent of noraml,
compared with $50 on July L. Kan
sas was hit hardest, the condition
there being reduced from 81 6 per cent
In July to 30 per cent on August L.
Oklahoma came next with condition
of "A against 81 in July, and Nebraska
reported 81 against 81 July l.. These
three states have almost 10 per cent
of the total area planted to corn this
year.
A bright spot in the omnthly grain
report, however, was the preliminary
statistics showing production Of 511,-
100000 bushels of winter wheat. This
is the greatest harvest of wheat ever
gathered in the United States, exceed
ing the record crop of 1902 by 10000
900 bushels. The figures exceeded by
2S,000,O00 bushels the estimate made
by the department in July.
Spring wheat. too, was given an in
creased estimate of production, it be-
100000 bushels more than the July
estimate. the total being placed at
1913 100000 bushels With the bumper
winter wheat crop and fairly
good spring wheat production, the to-
tai harvest of all wheat is estimated at
744 100000 bushels. A crop this size
would place the years production sec
