IMMENSE QUANTITY
OF WHEAT TIED Up
There Will Still, However, Be a
Heavy Deficit of the Worlds
Normal Crop.
Not an Owner

A grain expert who has been watch.
ing the grain markets and the worlds
grain fields for a number of years.
says:-
There is at the present time about
two billion bushels of wheat, the pro-
duction Of the countries at war, tied
up. This is about one-half the worlds
total production of wheat, which is
four billion bushels. One writer ar
CUES that, granting that the warning
nations produce a one-half crop in
the coming year, a deficit of one bill
lion bushels will still be shown. The
three countries upon which the filing
of this deficit Of one billion bushels
will rest are the United States, Can
ada, and Argentina. The combined
output of these three countries is only
1,249, 000, 900, their exportable surplus
would of course be much less. so it
can easily be seen that the question
is not one to be easily solved and it
behooves all the above countries to
increase their respective productions
as much Is they possibly can, for
when the war is over and trade begins
to re-establish itself and the nations
undergo a process Of rehabilitation,
the demand for all breadstuffs will be
enormous.
During the three years following
the declaration OF peace the farmers
of all neutral wheat-producing coun-
tries will have ample opportunity to
market their wheat at good prices,
and it may safely be assumed that the
demand will be heavy. Canada has
an unusual opportunity in that she
has the natural environment for wheat
production; she is under the protec-
ton Of the British flag, and she will
not be molested upon the water to
any great extent; she can increase
her acreage and greatly enhance her
production. In other words, she can
become a far greater wheat-producing
country than she is at the present
time"
If the s%umming-up as made by this ex-
pert be correct, is there not the very
best reason for the continued effort
that is being made by the Government
of the Dominion of Canada to secure
settlers on the productive vacant
lands of the country? Not only are
these lands capable of producing high
class wheat in large quantities, but
cattle, pigs, sheep and horses also DO
we'll. The climate is admirably suited.

Europe Loses Sweet Tooth.

The girls they left behind them
when the British Tommy, his French
colleague and his German enemy went
off to the war suffered a good deal
more than has been supposed up to
this time.
The candy export figures from this
country prove it. Europe curtailed the
bean supply of the United States when
Austria's exports were stopped. Now
America has retaliated by reducing
the quantity of candy sem to the old
world.
The first five months Of the war
caused a decrease of $153,S23 in value
of candy exports from the United
States, as compared with the same
period of the year before. The value
of the total exports of candy for the
calendar year was $1,1S5.S94.

HOLY WEEK..
From the indianapolis News.

sAAS ASSVS
In the round Of days no span Of .
week marks the f%ickleness of human
nature as does the one drawing to q
close. The same multitude that cried,
"Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed
be He that cometh in the name of the
Lord" only a few days later cried.
Cruelty Hint" He was welcomed as
a king, and Immediately on His entry
into the city o N Palm Sunday He tx
ercised kingly authority, as when He
purified the temple, clearing it o.
hucksters and money changers. His
profitable subjects for meditation than
this cleansing OF the temple-this call
ing the people back to the realities OF
their religion. The days following
were crowded with events. The &C
claimed King spoke some Of His most
wonderful parallels. He COMPOUNDED the
scholars in several doctrinal contro-
%versies, told of His second coming ate
the Passover, n instituted the Lords
supper. Finally He was "crucified,
dead and buried"
The week is the most solemn Of the
Christian year In the life of Him who
was a man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief" no other days were so bur
dened with suffering and sadness, or
so full Of the word and act of active
be%nevolence, Of declaration of kingship

WAS ended, was halled Tor our adNaH
tage to the bitter cross" 1t is this
ronsummation that the time
CRATES.
Christianity is essentially a joyous
religion and ends with the resurrection.
Even those who deny the King are not
proof against the joyousness that halls
the day of His birth. But even those
who own Him reckon little of His
death. The world does not often keep
death days, though the calendar is
studded with the birthdays of men that
have left their impress on their time.
Christ's death means as much to the
world as His birth. Memories such as
those that cluster about the crucifiXion
ought to be very precious to Christians.
They draw the human heart for a brief
season to a contemplation of h suf-
suffering that has made it's joy whole
some. and that, when truly realized by
the heart, must chasten and purify 1t

FIGHT IN DELIRIUM

emily stood still. Some OF the soldiers
In this hospital have gone mad.
Think, too, of the frightful life in
the trenches, some of which are only
100 yards from those OF the enemy.
An officer described 1t at some length.
All day a continual tension OF the
nerves and no chance to climb up
out OF the narrow ditch, even for an
instant
Even nightfall brings little peace,
for II is the time chosen for surprise
attacks. Suddenly, not ten yards from
trench, men rise from the darkness,
n cry rings out; a sentinel, who had
dozed in spite of himself, staggers to
his feet-too late! The dazzling rays
of a searchlight kilometer away
blind the men in the trenches, while
the attacking forces, who have the
light at their backs, charge bayonets.
Then all Is dark again. The search
light Is removed to- escape the shells
OF hostile batteries. In the shadow
OF the moonless, starless night
frightful hand to hand fight takes
place, with hoarse cries OF anger and
death, and with cracking of rifles.
Thus the nights succeed one an
other, in heavy sleep full OF dreams
and nightmares, some of which are
only too real. Hearing all this, one
can understand that progress should
be slow. One asks ones self how
many more months and months long
er this killing OF men must go on,
this wearing them down, this dying
OF disease, this frightening them into
madness, until at last the formid-
able invader shall have been driven
from France.

The Progressive party should either

Roosevelt but for Debs. Americans as
race are individualists. and So

Progressive party's tendency to fiirt

DOCTORS HAVE NEW LIGHT.

A common argument of the liquor
interests may be put in the form of
syllogism thus:
Major premise: The demand for an
occasional stimulant Is instructive in
human nature. Minor premise: Alco-
hol is stimulant Conclusion: Alec
holic drinks supply a natural demand.
Granting the first premise TO be
sound-which we do not grant-the
second premise is glaringly untrue
Latest findings OF medical science
have proved that alcohol is not a slim
ulant as once believed, but a depres-
SAINT. There is expert testimony in
abundance to this effect We quote
here from w. A. Chapple. NJ. D., NJ. r.
c. s., Phi. d., and member OF parlia-
ment:
I'VE know that alcohol stimulates
nothing except disease and the suscep-
tibility to IL. We know one of the
first nerve centers to fall under its
paralyZing influence is the vaso-motor
center in the brain. What happens is
all you see and lot you don't see
The face Pushes because the vessels
dilate and engorge But you only see
1t In the face because these vessels
are so delicate everywhere-in the
brain, the liver. the kidneys, all the
vital organs, which suffer in conse-
quence. And the heart beats faster.
IL beats faster because its controlling
mechanism has been paralyzed. 1t
has not been stimulated any more
than the horse has been stimulated by
cutting its reins. We see. therefore.
how, till quite recently. doctors have
been deceived. Wine is mocker,
But 1t need mock no longer Apply

and OF the Bible-all attest that in
