IMMENSE QUANT|T
OF WHEAT TIED
(
There win Still, However, B
Heavy Deficit of the WorIc
Normal Crop.

A grain expert who has been W.
ing the grain markets and the wG
grain fields for a number of Vi
says
There is at the present time a
two billion bushels of wheat, the
duction of the countries at war,
up. This is about one-half the VIC
total production of WHEAT, whic
four billion bushels. One writer
CUES that, granting that the war
nations produce a one-half croI
the coming year, a deficit of one
lion bushels will still be shown.
three countries upon which the f
of this deficit of one billion bus
will rest are the United States, i
ada, and Argentina. The comb
output of these three countries is I,

would of course be much less, s.
can easily be seen that the ques
is not one to be easily solved an

as much as they possibly can,

During the three years follow.

If the summing-up as made by this

COUNTY LICENSE
OFFICERS TO ELECT.
TWO MORE LIQUOR BILLS ARE
INTRODUCED IN THE OHIO
GENERAL ASSEMBLY,.
JUDGES TO GIVE The PERMITS
Election of County License Officers
at August Primaries For Period
of Two Years.
(By Denny Donovan.)

Columbus, O.-Two more liquor bills
were introduced in the House of Rep
resentatives. The first, the Andrews
bill, is regarded as a dry measure.
1t provides for the election of county
license officers at the August pri-
maries for a term of two years on a
non-partisan ballot. The state license
commissioner must appoint b man
receiving the highest vote, unless he
is connected with liquor interests, or
has been convicted of a felony or mis-
demeanor. In this event the state
commissioner is to appoint a man.
The state commissioner, who is to be
appointed by the governor, will re-
present three state commissioners,
who receive $4,000 a year each. The
county licensing commissioners are to
receive 500 for each 5000 of popula-
ton up to $4,000 a year. The license
year is to commence the fourth Mon
day in November, but successful zap
p~licants must be announced before
election-on the fourth Monday in
September. Licenses are to be issued
for two years, Regulatory and super
visory powers delegated to the state
commissioner are the same as now
exercised by the state board.
The second bill, by Representative
Kold makes the common pleas court
judge the licensing power, but in
counties where there is more than one
judge the bench selects one, of its
number each year to distribute the
licenses. He is to be allowed a sec
rotary, whose salary will range from
$1,2G0 to $4,000 a year, according to
the number of licenses to be dis
tributed in the county. The Kohl bill
cuts the license fee from $1,000 to
$500 a year.

Queen City In Lead.

Cincinnati banks shows the great
est gains in deposits and resources,
according to figures contained in re-
ports made to State Bank Superintend-
ent Harry I. Hall by state and pri-
vat banks in compliance with a call
made by him ON them for a statement
on the condition of business on March
4. This was the first call sent out by
the new superintendent.
The reports from Cincinnati show
that the increase in deposits between
the two calls exceeded $2,000,0 600. AS
a whole, the condition of the banking
business is entirely satisfactory, &C
cording to the reports.
Supt. Hall completed a tabulation,
showing the condition of the banks in
the six largest cities. This, with com
parsons with the conditions of banks
on December 81, 1914, when the pre-
ceding call was made, was made pub
lie.
The Cleveland banks, which are the
largest in the state and among the
largest in the country, did not do
quite SO much business as indicated
by the preceding call. The volume of
business done by the Columbus banks
was practically the same. Conditions
in Youngstown also showed little
change.

at the front, it was officially an
nounced here on Monday. His injuries

sition of his troops.

which he claims the average student
should know the majority of. The
questions are as follows:
Who or what are the following:
Disraeli? Luther Burbank? Sara Bern
hardt? Won Hindenberg? eugenics?
Khedice? Walt Whitman? Goethe?
Bismarck? Don Quixote, Saint-Saens?
fossils? Papal Bull? Irish bull?
Achilles? Whittier? moratorium?
Grand Canyon? McAdoo? Dante? Mar
conf? anti-toxin? Bergson? Richard
Strauss? Rembrandt? Brickley? Gen.
Villa? Currency bill? George Mere
dith? Raphael? Ty Cobb? Titanic?
Homer? Natural Selection? 500? What
causes the eclipse of the moon? Why
is perpetual motion impossible? What
does B. c. mean?
The papers were graded so that
the highest possible grade could be
40. This allowed a point for each
correct answer, and of the 20 students
eight received a grade between "a and
II.
The question which was familiar to
most students was in regard to B.. c.
Every student with the exception of
n gave the correct answer. The n
answering it wrong claimed that B. c..
meant before the death of Christ. The
question in regard to Bergson was the
lowest one to have correct answers,
only two giving partial correct III
swers.
Striking Deficiencies Revealed.
Some very striking deficiencies were
revealed in the examination. Mora
forum meant nothing to two students
out Of %, yet any attentive reader of
newspapers last August could not
have failed to catch it's meaning. Won
Hindenberg was unknown to half of
the students, although he has won
more personal glory from the present
war than any other person. Richard
Strauss and Saint-Saens were almost
unknown, although half of the stu
dents were taking aesthetics and Co
lumbus has excellent musical oppor-
tunities. Brickley's low place sug-
gests that football is sectional and not
national, which is nc cause for regret.
Many amusing errors were to be
found among the answers, among
which are Walt Whitman-"Writer of
child's poetry" explorer instrumental
in obtaining the territory of Oregon
in behalf of the United States" "a
great negro leader" Moratorium-"a
turkish temple;" Irish Bull-"practic-
ally a separate religion in Ireland"
and Saint-SaensA"a city in the west
ern wal zone"

Monday Wash Day.

In spite of the fact that 1t deals with
one of the oldest traditions of the
home, the March extension bulletin of
the agricultural college at Ohio State
University is in some ways a revolu-
tionary document. For instance, in
the very first paragraph the question
of changing wash day" from Monday
to some other day in the week Is
raised. This is surely a radical sug-
gestion, one which would throw the
average woman's scheme of activity
into confusion. The bulletin contains
many other interesting matters.

OFFICIAL Warnings Is Issued.

Governor Willis has sounded an
official note Of warning to lobbyists
who are investing the halls of the
legislature.
The governor says he has asked the
secretary of state to furnish him a
list of all the registered lobbyists. He
closes with the declaration that amy
violation of the anti-lobby law will be
promptly dealt with"
1t was declared at the governors
office that the executives action was
not prompted by anything out of the
ordinary, but merely to give the lobby
lists a hint that no illegal methods will
be tolerated.
Rumors that numerous lobbyists are
openly working among the legislators
without having complied with the
anti-lobby law and that some of those
registered are indiscreet, have been
persistent for three weeks. In the
governors statement he says he
strongly feels that grave injustice
may be done the general assembly by
hearsay reports being circulated as to
the scope of operations of lobbyists"
That detectives have been in Co
lumbus watching activities of lobby
lists and legislators is the declaration
of a man who is in position to know.
1t is said the lobby proposition was
discussed by the governor and Attor-
ney General Turner at q conference.
