Thinks A Bread Famine Impossible.

A bread famine in the United States is
almost an economic impossibility, even
though increased exports of wheat to
Europe seem to threaten our domestic
supply. This was the declaration Monday
of DIR. L. NJ Estabrook. statistician of the
Department of Agriculture, in an exclusive
statement to the United Press.
DIR. Estabrook asserted that future orders
of American millers and bakers which are
being placed constantly throughout the
year will insure for the United States an
adequate supply of -four, even though ex-
ports Of American grain send wheat prices
up to the tabled So bushel mark.
I'VE have figured out. he said. that
the United States normally has between
25O,000,000 and 300.000,00O bushels of
wheat for export. The bumper wheat crop
of the United States. which was practically
900.000,000 bushels, has had the effect
Of slightly raising this export maximum.
thereby allowing the United States to ex-
port larger amount than usual.
Nevertheless. the American miller and
the American baker have an equal chance
with European buyers. and II is only rea-
sonable to assume that they are taking
steps in view Of the recent heavy exports
to safeguard the domestic reserve from
which they must draw their supply.
These millers and bakers have placed
orders for immediate and future delivery
all through the fall and winter They have
stored millions Of bushels in elevators
which will never see Europe. The present
holders Of grain have received orders for
future delivery Of wheat to these American
millers at prices based on the market value
Of wheat at the time Of delivery. This
wheat, therefore. whether delivered in Janu-
airy, February or March, or when, will com
mand the market price at the time of de-
livery.
When wheat is being sold, the seller.
collectively speaking, has no preference
concerning the buyer, just so long as the
buyer is willing to meet the market price.
The American miller. therefore, is meeting
the European buyer on even terms and
can command his own supply of wheat
just as readily as the European buyer de-
mands his export supply and more readily,
perhaps. than the European buyer can
demand more than the safe export maxi
mum.
THE only possible way for the flour sup
ply Of the United States to be curtailed is
through theoretical and economically
impossible situation, whereby all or prac-
tically all Of the men who control the grain
would enter into a conspiracy to sell
American wheat only for export. Such q
situation is not only absurd on its face
but II it should be attempted Congress
would step in and legislate against it,"

The Low Educational Standard OF
Our State And County.

Mr.. Editor "A perusal of statistics COL
lected and published by the Russell Sage
Foundation (400 Metropolitan Tower, N.
Y. City, in Bulletin No. 4. 1910 (price IS
cents) relative to the educational rank of
the AZ several States of the Union is not
calculated to cause the bosom of any true
hearted Marylander to swell with pride
enough to start any buttons.
Maryland ranks No. SO in the average
of its ratings under the following ten class
ifications: Children in schools, school plant,
expense per child. school days per child,
school year, attendance, expenditure and
wealth, daily cost, high schools, and sala-
ries. OF all the adjacent States, Virginia
alone ranks lower than Maryland. Under
only two headings have we creditable
rating: Length of school year, 4th in rank.
and average salary of teachers. 18th in
rank.
Only two States, Wyoming and New
Mexico, spend on schools less money per
500 of wealth than Maryland does. Our
rate is 81 cents that Of the other two
States referred to is 20 cents and 10 cents.
respectively. Oklahoma tops the list with
rs cents per 500 of wealth. The part
that our own county of Montgomery con-
tributes to the standing of the State is
apparent in the fact that, though rated
sixth in assessed value of property (there
are % counties in the State), the amount
of our county school tax for the year end
ing July 81, 1918, was only tenth in rank
in the State and the rate of our county
school tax only nineteenth. AS Montgom-
cry ranks eighth in population and the
same in school population. it is apparent
that the county schools have not been as
literally dealt with in the past as the
wealth and population of the county would
justify.
While Maryland ranked 18th Tin 1870
in average Of school teachers salaries,
Montgomery county, sixth in wealth, eighth
of teachers, ranked only twelfth in aver
age of teachers salaries in 1918, with an
average of only $381.85. whereas the State
average was $533.17, gain of $18 since
1910. (Report of State Board of Education
for year ending July 81. 1881 The nu-
merous one-teacher schools contribute TO a
low salary average, also to high per capita
cost per child enrolled. SITS. the fifth
highest in the counties Of the State. To
add further to the inconeruity of some of
our ratings in the State, Montgomery ranks
fifth in value of school property Qand,
buildings, and equipment), and thus we
have the sixth wealthiest county. with a
school plant ranking fifth in value, spend
ing less on its public schools than nine
other counties and with lower county
school tax rate than eighteen other coun-
ties, besides paying to its teachers sala-
ries considerably below the State average
even with Baltimore city left out ($413.3).
Wouldn't it be a good thing if more of
our school patrons got together in the school
houses of Saturday evening to talk over
some of these things form "home and
school" organization, join the county school
federation. and see if we cannot help our
county and State to make better showing
among the other counties and States?

The dog whined, jumped around the

Mrs. Schad, then laid his cold nose against
their hands and whined some more. FL
nally he barked and jumped at the door,
and sprang at the closed transom.
Mr.. Schad then opened the door, and
smoke poured in from fierce fire in the
basement. Twenty minutes Fritz" had
been trying to tell the family about it, The
