 We shall continue to have large ex- port of wheat and the price of wheat is likely to remain, relatively speaking, very high. The best experts, however, do not agree to the estimate made by the de- partment of agriculture at Washington that we still have on hand surplus of not less than 0O000,000 bushels of wheat available for export. The experts, es- pecially those who live near the great wheat market of the west, are in practi- cal agreement with Mayor Mitchel's food supply committee. whose estimate is that there Is now not much more than 50,000, GOO bushels of wheat in the form of surplus available for export.

neutralize the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretlon through

Rheumatic sore throat is dangerous
indication, as it means that the blood IS
loaded with more uric acid than the KID

serious general disturbance.
The action Of s. S. s. stimulates cellular
activity. 1t prevents the accumulation OF
irritants in local spots. 1t enables the

England to greet January z, Christ

churchyard yesterday aud the day be.
fore to see how the thorn was getting
along were pleased to see that it had
responded to the day that spring
filched from winter On January Z, and
although lacking bloom gave signs Of
sturdy life.
The thorn was brought from the an
cient Benedictine Abbey in Somerset
shire year ago last fall and planted
under the personal direction of the
Rev. DR.. w. T. Manning. rector OF
Trinity. It Is a sprig of the original
Glastonbury thorn, which legend says
was an offstoot Of the staff Of st.
Joseph of Arimathea.
1t had been feared that the thorn,

it Is vigorous in its second New York

Cordite and Tobacco.

William Cook of Clever was dragged
before London justice. His offense
was that he was wont for the past
few weeks to light his pipe with cor
dite, which he obtained from sus-
picious sources. Though the explosive
was originally intended for a high-pow.
er gun. Cook stated that the charge
flared up, when touched to fire, and
lighted his pipe in an instant. He
stated that he had found his little girl
rolling piece of it about on the
ground, had taken it away, and placed
1t in the stove, where he was able to
watch it burn.
Fortunately he did not try to pound
his cordite with a hammer, for, under
those circumstances, he would have
appeared before justice only In irreg

CITIES HAVE GREAT FUTURE
Ports on the Coast Bound to Grow
Enormously as the country's
Wealth Is Developed.

Seattle on Puget sound in 1913
cleared for foreign trade ships with
3,058,504 tons tonnage, New York alone
leading 1t and New Orleans coming
third. At the present time, says the
Christian Science Monitor, there are
so deep-water ships in Seattle's har-
Dor loading for foreign or Atlantic
ports and due to make the passage
through the Panama canal A con-
siderable numerical and high tonnage
proportion Of these vessels are Amer
lean owned and fly the stars and
stripes. They indicate a mounting
volume of business for the port and
for the region of the country of which
it is one of the several doo,ways to
the outer world; so that when the
statistics of LOLA are compiled the
city's relative rank will not have
changed What will be disclosed prob
ably will be its supremacy on the Pa
cific coast and its lead over most of
the Atlantic and Gulf ports.
The natural resources of this city
as port of entry and of exit were ex-
ceptional prior to deliberate planning
by citizens for their use. Equally so
were the potential stores of wealth
in the vast hinterland which the rail
ways focusing Seattle tap. But when
the nation set about linking the At
lantic and the Pacific at Panama, and
when the citizens of Seattle created
a port commission and began devel-
oping the harbor and providing ter
minals then a new day dawned, and
the results are now apparent; and not
the least of the gain is from growth
of the port as a place for transship-
ment of goods billed through to Asiat-
ic ports. West-bcund cotton and east
bound silk symbolic double current
that flows in and out and out and in.
And as for lumber, the Pacific slopes
| are under attack to provide heavy
timber for the world, now that exports
to the Atlantic coast and to Europe
have the Panama canal freight rate.
What is true Of Seattle also is true
of Tacoma, Portland and Vancouver.
Seattle's prominence is in degree and
not in kind. All outlets of this enor-
mously rich region of the North Amer
lean continent are bound to grow rap
idly under altered conditions of bust
ness, conditioned by the interoceanic
short cut and by economic changes
following the present war. They also
will profit by coming development of
Alaskan resources under restrictions
that will insure growth of population
in territory and retention there of a
larger proportion of it's wealth, hith-
erto so largely falling into the hands
of transients and absentee owners OF
properties

DEADLY BARB WIRE
European Nations Have Chosen
American Design.
Indiana Firm Expects to Turn Out
Enormous Quantities of lis
Product for Use Before the
Conflict is Ended.

1t has remained for an American to
devise the most murderous form OF
fortification that can be used in the
present European war.
Since the latest inventions in big
siege guns have made ordnance forti-
ncations not only useless but death
traps to their garrisons barbed wire
entanglements have come into general
use to hold the enemy at bay.
But where was the kind of barbed
wire necessary for this work to be
found? A Kokomo Und.) manufacture
er has answered the question to the
satisfaction of some of the nations at
least.
A plant at kokomo manufacturing
wire has just completed special ma
chinery for turning out murderous
type of barbed wire for use in the
European conflict. The drawing shows
the wire in its actual size. This spe-
cial wire has barbs more than an
inch long, wound on a one-eighth-inch
steel rod. The barbs are placed in
sets of four at one-inch intervals along
the steel core, the points standing out
at right angles. The barbs are sharp
