THE PRISONER AND HIS
FAMILY

The older legal practice in this
country complacently sent man to
Jail for thirty days for getting drunk
and trusted to the neighbors to bring
in food to the family. The neigh
bors were willing to do 1t. But
more commonly the wife. determined
little creature. would not let any one
know she was In want.
The laws have disregarded too
much the plight Of women and chill
dren left without support by impris'
oned husbands. 1t is therefore a
pleasure to read that Miss May
Allison of Los Angeles, California
has been appointed by the county
supervisors, to look after the money
earned by married men sentenced to
the chain gang. The husbands
wages are to be deposited to her
credit as trustee.
When a man parts with his SUB
stance for intoxicating liquor, he
must crawl home with healthy
sense of shame and sorrow for the
privations of his little family.
But after a period of this maudiir
pity, he suddenly discovers that his
wild courses do tend to create certain
independent sources of revenue.
After he firmly acquires a reputation
as a drunkard, kind neighbors vii
come in and save the wife and chill
dren from actual starvation. TIT
more the husband drinks the NOR
time he spends in jail, the more IN
family gets, and the freer he feel
to squander his earnings.
II is safer in many places to neg
lect your wife and children than q
take a few dollars from a bank. Tn
law hunts down the embezzler u
Canada, but the machinery OF eS
tradition cant be started for mer'
nonsupport. 1t may be said that
deserted wife can go back to TN
comfort OF her former home. Blu
after she has stood up in all tn
glorles of her Gatins and laces ant
shower bouquet and veil, 1t is hare
to admit that the whole thing was
cheat and farce. 1t Is easier L
drop out OF sight and struggle alon
as best she may. This control o
husbands earnings is a good ide

Per cent

But suppose n shortage in wheat
should develop in the next three
months. what would be the situation?
There is a great surplus IN other
food crops in the United States,
number of which can be used as sub
stitutes. Wheat does not constitute
more than IL per cent Of the normal
diet, about the same as poultry ana
eggs. Meat and dairy products con
stitute As per cent; vegetables, IL
per cent; fruits, nuts, sugar, hsn'
and other items the remaining ID
per cent. There are larger supplies
of corn and other grains, meat AMI
mails, dairy products, potatoes, ana
fruit at the opening OF 1915 than Tor
many years. The most important
competing products are corn and po'
tatoes. This is shown by the fact
that while the normal consumption
of wheat is SO bushels, in Maine 1t
is only IA bushels and In Michigan
3. In the wheat growing States
where wheat is abundant, such MS
Minnesota, the average is To where
as in the South where corn is much
used, the average is 4 bushels. NOR
mally about 3 per cent OF the corr
crop is consumed as food. or ou'
total crop about S0,OOO,0Oo bushels
would be used for food, the remain
der for other purposes. The re
mainder could be used for foods ane
substitutes used for animals. TIT
potato production in the Unite'
States averages as bushels per cap'

is Al bushels. The average prize

NO SHORTAGE OF FooDsTUFFs

sued the following statement on Feb
ruary II:
The 1914 wheat crop of the Unit.
ed States was estimated to be $751;
O00, 900 bushels. The estimated sur
plus carried over from the 1913 crop
was about 100000 bushels. There
was, therefore, a total available sup
ply of 967.OOO,OOO bushels. AS the
normal annual per capita consump'
ton OF wheat in the United States
Is about 3 3 bushels, 520,000,000 bu-
shells should meet our normal domes'
tic requirements for food in addition
90, 1000 900 bushels are required anIu'
ally for seeding. Six hundred and
ten million bushels, therefore, should
supply the normal domestic demand
This would leave surplus OF 35T-
600, 1000 bushels. OF this surplus,
about 21O,OOO,OOO bushels were ex.
ported by January 80. This left
147,OO0,OOO bushels, or 100000 bu-
shells more than our average annual
export for the past five years, for
export between February /, and the
appearance of the new crop, or for
carrying over into the next crop
year. The amount is sufficient to
permit the export of nearly 100000
bushels day until July /, before
which time the new crop will be-
gin to be available. This Is about
the average recent expectation.
The large demand for our wheat
arises from the fact that there was
an estimated worlds shortage of over
40C 100000 bushels outside of the
United States, from the fact that the
Russian eXportable surplus of 1OO,-
600, 900 bushels is not available gen
orally, and from the fact that the
belligerent nations are eager to Sc
cure food supplies. If 1t were not
for these things, we should be dis
GUESSING ways and means Of dispos-
ing OF our tremendous surplus OF
food products.
As has been stated, the new Am
erican crop will begin to appear be-
fore July. The Argentine crop Is
now coming on the markets. 1t Is
estimated that from that source
there will be available 1OO,O0O,oOo
bushels. A surplus Of 100000 bu'
shells or more from India will be
available in May and June. The
increase in the fall sown wheat acre
age of the United States in 1914 was

Lemon.

There was no effort at being facetious
when Lemon. S. D.. was named Neither

the crops it produced, for it is in that
bleak northwest corner of this great
plains state where the storms come
down from Medicine Hat and the Their

But a widehatted Texan, named
George N. Lemon, drove his cattle into
this region for grazing, became its first
citizen. and when, seven years ago, the
coming of a railroad brought enough
people to start a town. it was planted
in horseshoe of the hills and named
for the community pioneer
There 1t nestles today. community

of the bad lands-a struggling, MAIN

formed from range country into fields

But Lemon, typical of new settle
ments of the west. has an element of
distinction. popularity all its own.
that makes 1t unique among the NUM-
cipalties of the world. 1t owns and
operates a saloon.
For a hundred miles north, south,
east and west, there is but one place
In all this region where the man who
wishes to f1irt with the cup that cheers
may get an opportunity to do So This
is in the municipal saloon at Lemon.
Local option has won most Of this part
of the state. and has won Lemon with
the exception of the bar that it operates
under the direction of the city govern
ment for no other licenses are issued.
This municipal saloon occupies pure
white and spotlessly clean building. In
side. the bar, the fixtures, the walls are
white enameled. The attendants dress
in white of spotless cleanliness. There
is an officer always present who moth
ers any individual who may have re-
ceived too much-a thing which rarely
happens. for treating is forbidden. and
there are rigid rules against selling to
the man who already has enough. The
bartenders are municipal employees. and
have no object in hustling for trade.
The profits which Lemon derives from
this saloon amount to two-thirds of all
funds raised for conducting the affairs
of the municipality. From them q
water system has been built with an
elaborate plant for pumping from 200
feet underground. From them a NUM-
cipally owned electric light plant 10

supporting the schools and building

for such town, Lemon has. from it's

for the development of public service
utilities.

about it the touring cars of great mum.

Some NuiSances,
FROM the Raleigh. News and Observer.

FROM the Raleigh. News ana Ooservet.
In the program of making a city
beautiful there is always to be en-
countered the opposition of those whose
don't-careness tends to make a city
disgraceful' in the way of adding I'M
slightly things whose absence Is pre-
ferable to their company.
The Wilmington Dispatch takes note
of one of these kind of nuisances in the
matter of circulars whose distribution
about a city filters the streets and
yards. Boys who scatter handbills
about town are concerned largely with
getting rid of them quickly, and fire.
quently they go over into yards and
flower gardens and about the streets in
numbers such as to annoy all who de-
sire things to be in proper shape.
Along with this is the posting of lit
tie handbills and advertising signs
everywhere that a place can be found,
the aged accumulation of these on
fences and the sides of buildings
an abomination in the sight of man.
We have in mind number Of places in
Raleigh-some of them In the very
heart of the city-which are cluttered
up with such things in distressing
degree. Beaten by wind and storm,
colors taken out by the sun, they finger
on an eyesore in the sights of the peo.>
pie.

these abound the city authorities
should move to get rid of them. Such

an unsigned letter saying:

The package contained three one

Treasury officials found nothing in
